Love Hina: All-Girls Dorm Edition

Chapter 1: Ronin's Arrival

"Hina? Hina-obasan? Anyone?" a fairly young brunette asked loudly as she entered into Hinata-sou "Anybody here?"

The woman was one Urashima Keika, the nineteen year old granddaughter of Hina. She was a bit on the tall side, as was common among Urashima women, though her hair was brown, unlike the common black, and was inherited from her father. Her eyes were still the same brown though, and she even had the traditional hairstyle of the Urashima: brow-length, messy bangs with the very edges being chin length, and the rest pulled into a short ponytail. As for her figure, she would say she was 'average and plain', but the truth was that she was actually rather shapely and beautiful without being 'overboard'.

As for her clothing, she was dressed rather well, giving her an intellectual look, though she thought she was 'nerdy'. She wore black slacks, cut for a woman of course, and a white blouse more akin to a men's dress shirt in it's style. Black, thick glasses adorned her face, which was the only part that anyone would probably consider dorky, and, for some odd reason, she wore black gloves on her hands. Overall, her style of dress wasn't overtly flattering, but it did give her a bit of a masculine appearance in the eyes of some, though even then the gloves were an enigma.

But alas, the author's digressed…

(AN: narrator-baka…)

"I guess nobody's home…" Keika thought aloud as she set down her backpack, which was the entirety of her possessions that she could carry.

Carefully slipping off her black shoes, she took note of the fairly comfortable and homey living room, noting the staircase at one end and the couches and TV at the other. She headed down what appeared to be a main hallway, noticing that the place was utterly immaculate, though a few repairs might have been necessary to make it absolutely perfect in every respect. Eventually she noticed what she thought was water out past one of the walls, which is when she also heard the sounds of slightly running water. Moving to the cracked door she had been looking through, Keika was amazed, and overjoyed, to find a large onsen, or open air bath.

"I don't remember this being here!" Keika said aloud as she took a few steps closer, noticing just how big the onsen was as more of it came into view " Hina-obasan really went all out with her inn!"

Keika then took a step back, glanced around, and then headed to the door to check down both ends of the hallway. After seeing that there was absolutely nobody around, she made her way back near the hotsprings and began unbuttoning her blouse.

"I don't think anyone will mind if I take a quick dip." Keika said in an attempt to justify her future soon-to-be bath in the onsen "Besides, after hauling my carcass up the staircase from hell, I think a bath is a fair treat."

She had just finished unbuttoning her blouse to reveal her white, lacy bra and shapely chest when she heard the door behind her open, which immediately sent her into a short panic. Spinning around on the spot, Keika stood with her blouse open to expose herself to the two women that had just appeared in the doorway, one a gray-haired woman about her age with a fox-like face and the body of a vixen, and the other a younger girl with auburn hair and hazel eyes with a figure much like Keika's own. Both immediately ended their portions of the conversation as they saw Keika before them, her chest revealed with no attempt at covering herself out of sheer shock and slight panic.

"Who the hell are you?!" the auburn-haired girl shouted defensively, which was enough to send Keika into a raging blush as she shut her blouse in a moment.

"I-I-I, um, m-my, I'm…" Keika stammered out, slowly backing away as she saw the auburn-haired woman's face turn damn near feral in it's fury.

"What were you gonna do?! Wait for us in the hotsprings, hentai?!" the auburn hair girl challenged, but Keika couldn't seem to find her voice to reply with a refutation.

"Hey there, calm down gal." the fox-girl said, apparently nervous at what her friend was doing "I don't think ya need ta…"

Knowing that the auburn girl was probably a bit distracted, Keika took the best option she currently had to her: she ran like a bat out of hell in the direction that put her furthest from the auburn haired girl and her fox-esque friend.

"HEY!! GET BACK HERE, HENTAI!!" was what Keika heard through the blood pounding in her ears as she tore down the length of the bath, careful not to slip as she slid to a near-stop due to the rapidly diminishing straightaway.

Seeing the fence and a low overhang, Keika quickly jumped onto the fence, then made a grab for the overhang and pulled herself up with some effort. After she did so though, she noticed an odd, red dot on the center of her exposed chest, and then another… and another… then fifty or so others as she looked up to the sight of fifty or so small robots with a young, blonde, tanned gaijin girl behind them.

"Ooh... are you here to play with me?" the girl asked happily as she brought up a remote control, which was when Keika felt her blood freeze "Let's play!"

Keika let loose a bloodcurdling scream as she took shelter behind the nearby doorway, watching as several salvos of missles and small arms rounds passed by her, and she had a strong desire to wet herself out of fear. She didn't stick around long, in case the missiles were heat-seeking or homing varieties, and instead took a chance and tore through the doorway to where the gaijin was. She quickly shot to the clear edge of a wall, and ran past the girl and her deathbots before the miniature deathbringers and the gaijin could recover.

"Hey!" was all the gaijin shouted as she too began to chase after Keika, who was having troubles finding a way out of here so she could reach Haruka's tea shop and get her to sort things out.

She took a quick left, and had to duck as a bokken shot out of a room nearby, which was held by a rather fierce looking woman.

"Ano?!" Keika said aloud, but then noticed that the woman was a perfect idea of a female samurai with her long, black hair, hazel eyes, hime haircut, and a red and white training garb.

However, unlike the calm, composed samurai of yore, this one was utterly furious.

"Die!" she shouted as she took another swing, but Keika slid away before she could hit her.

Now she was once more heading down the hallway of the second floor, now chased by at least two girls on that floor alone. However, it appeared that she had found a way to save herself: there was a double set of stairs nearby, one heading up to the third floor, and another heading to the first. The sight of the auburn and fox girls at the bottom of the lower staircase was enough to decide for her, so she headed up the steps to the third floor, and then up the steps leading to the roof with the intention of jumping off into the onsen if need be.

Unfortunately, she failed to account for the long hallway she went down in her calculation of where she was, so she was stuck with a long fall to the hard ground on every side.

"Oh no!" she exclaimed a she turned an about face, watching as the four girls chasing her, and a fifth girl with blue hair that she hadn't even run into, appeared at the head of the steps, the eldest three in a state ranging from irritation to fury.

Keika gulped as she tried her best to hold her open blouse shut, slowly backing herself up against a railing.

"L-Look, girls, this is just a big misunderstanding!" Keika tried to explain, though her voice was shaking throughout "I-I'm j-just here to stay at Hina-oba-san's inn!"

"Shut up, hentai!" the auburn haired girl shouted as she and the samurai approached her, causing Keika to wince a bit "I don't want to hear your lies! This place hasn't been an inn in years!"

"What?!" Keika shouted in surprise, which is when the two girls decided to attack.

She sidestepped the auburn's punch, then ducked under the sword strike before rolling out of the way of a second blade attack. She hopped to her feet as the auburn girl kicked at her on the ground, and stepped backwards so she was just out of the range of the blade strike.

"Please!" Keika pleaded as she dodged another flurry of strikes with some effort, and then ducked under the flying kick from the gaijin "Stop!"

"Vile woman! You dare ask for pity?!" the samurai shouted as she quickly took a stance "Ougi: Zanganken!"

An easily visible wave of ki shot in Keika's direction, and the older girl's face hardened a bit. Reaching her hand out just as the ki attack would reach her, she physically grabbed hold of the blade of ki, stopping it's motion towards her in an instant.(1)

"What?!" was the samurai's only response as Keika's own hand lit up with ki as well, though only Motoko could see the flare-up of ki.

"I said, 'this is just a big misunderstanding'." Keika hissed harshly, clenching her fist and shattering the ki blade like it was made of paper-thing glass.

"That it is."

Everyone turned to the nearby stairwell, finding a visage similar to Keika, though with black hair, no glasses or ponytail, and with a cigarette hanging loosely from her lips. Keika's attitude seemed to change in an instant the moment Haruka appeared.

"Haruka-oba-san!" Keika shouted happily as she once again attempted to hold her blouse closed "I am so glad to see you!"

"Wha?" was the auburn girl's response, while the samurai girl was still staring at Keika with an expression of utter disbelief.

As for Haruka, she simply sighed, taking a long drag on her smoke a moment prior.

"Don't call me that Kei, now button up and come on. All of you: follow me." Haruka commanded, and even the hyperactive gaijin immediately did as she was told.

"Absolutely not!" the auburn girl, Naru shouted, less than a foot from Keika's face in the process.

"Please?" Keika asked in return, though she sat back nervously as the fierce girl.

What had provoked this amidst a house meeting was Haruka's announcement that Keika would be staying at the house. The fox girl, the bluenette, and the gaijin, which happened to be Kitsune, Shinobu, and Su respectively, seemed alright with this. The samurai, Motoko, seemed to hold her tongue throughout, but Naru on the other hand…

"No! No way! Not on my life!"

"Well why not?" Keika pleaded, hoping to get the irritated woman to think clearly.

"Do you really think we'd let you stay here after what you did?" Naru shot back, crossing her arms haughtily in the process.

"But… I haven't done anything…" Keika stated in all honesty "Well, except run away, dodge, and defend myself…"

"Liar! You… you…" Naru began to accuse, but trailed off when she began to draw mental blanks.

"I… don't believe that Urashima-san has done anything that would be a problem." Motoko finally spoke up, which was surprising to the residents there.

"Yeah, I mean, ya did yell at 'er when ya found 'er at at the bath." Kitsune added seriously "Hell, even I would run if I saw ya angry like that."

"Kitsune!" Naru responded with a blush, but couldn't find any means to refute that point.

"Ano… I think she should be allowed to stay." the ever shy Shinobu added, much to Naru's dislike, though Keika was glad to have all the support.

"Hm… I don't know…" the energetic Su stated, much to Naru's pleasure.

"Thank you S-" Naru began, but she was nearly knocked to the ground as Su leapt at Keika, who only griped the couch and forced herself further into it.

Su landed, straddling her lap with her face only a few centimeters from Keika's own, which was a blaring red hue. Su continued to stare at her with hard eyes, to which Keika was trying her damnedest to not move, mostly due to fear and nervousness at having the girl so close to her.

"…will you play with me if you stay here?" the young gaijin asked in a rather serious manner.

Keika blinked a few times to get the gears in her head working again. Having not expected something so whimsical from the seemingly serious girl had slowed her brain to a halt for a split second there.

"Um… I guess I could-" Keika began, but a bone-crushing hug knocked the wind out of her mid sentence.

"She can stay!" Su announced as she wrapped herself around Keika, the brunette's eyes nearly popping out of her head from the force of the hug.

Haruka was laughing openly as Shinobu and Kitsune struggled to save her niece from Su's death grip.

'Looks like everything turned out alright.' Haruka thought as she stood to leave, watching as Su was finally pried off, leaving a twitching, pained Keika slumped on the couch in her stead.

"Uh… what a day…" Keika muttered as she collapsed onto the floor of her new room, which was the old manager's room.

Rolling over so she was on her new futon staring at the ceiling, Keika couldn't help wondering what she had gotten into. Right off the bat, Su had attempted to riddle her with every form of missile imaginable, and it was by the grace of the gods that she was alive even now. Kitsune, real name Konno Mitsune, had taken to teasing her about her glasses and how she dressed 'kinda like a guy' while rapidly getting shit-faced off of sake. Naru still seemed to hate her, though Keika couldn't fathom an honest to god rational reason why, and Motoko seemed to be avoiding her for some reason that most likely had to do with pride and honor, given what she knew about samurai. The only person treating her normally was Shinobu, whom Keika thought reminded her of her adopted sister Kanako when she was younger. That, and the girl could cook like nobody's business, which Keika was thankful for.

Still, Keika was tired, and she wanted nothing more to do now than to lay there on her futon, close her eyes, and not be bothered til-

"Hey, Kei, open up." a voice, recognizable as Haruka's, called from the outside side of the door.

Groaning out of disappointment, Keika hoisted herself back up into a sitting position, her eyes half closed as she was half asleep.

"Come in." Keika said, her voice still a rather low mutter.

Haruka did indeed come in, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary… until Keika caught sight of the name on the piece of paper Haruka had in her hand.

"No…" was all the, now fully awake and mildly distraught, Keika was able to squeak out as her face drained of any and all color.

"I take it you know what's on this fax." Haruka stated, rather than asked, as she held up the paper that was signed by Keika's own mother.

Keika didn't respond at all, though Haruka didn't need her to in order to know the answer. The older woman slowly sat down in front of Keika, who had her head hung rather shamefully as the fax was placed between them.

"Your parents didn't kick you out because you failed, did they?" Haruka asked, though it was more or less rhetorical.

"…no…" Keika responded softly, hoping that Kitsune, who was in the room next to hers, was not awake and/or listening in "… it was only part of the reason… a small part…"

"So the fax is…?"

"…probably telling the truth…"

Haruka let loose a sigh, pulling another cigarette from her pack as she felt her nerves begin to throb. She figured she'd have to smoke a whole pack after this.

"Look, Kei, I'm not like my sister; we've always been polar opposites when it came to things like this." Haruka explained in an attempt to cheer Kei up a bit "Honestly, I'm fine with your choice, and I know that Hina would support you herself as well."

Keika smiled a bit, but it was both shallow and fleeting. Haruka, sensing that she couldn't really say much to the young woman before her at the moment, attempted to take hold of the fax once more and then make her way back to the tea shop, and her living quarters.

"No!" Keika said simply, quickly making a grab for the fax and succeeding before Haruka had took hold of it "I mean, I want to know what they…"

"Look, I understand." Haruka stated with a nod of approval "Just don't beat yourself up over it; they'll come around eventually."

'I hope…'

Keika nodded in acceptance of the 'terms', and Haruka slowly took her leave, leaving the young brunette to deal with the situation on her terms, and her terms only.

'I get the feeling she has a long, hard journey ahead of her now…'

End Chapter 1

Author's Note: Well, I believe I had a point of interest in the story that might need a bit o' explainin', so here be the explainin'…

(1) Okay, if it's possible for two ki attacks to strike each other midair, how much of a stretch would it be for someone using ki to grab another attack if they knew how? Anyway, I wanted Keika to be a bit more awesome than Keitaro was, but not Mary-Sue-ish (let me know if I did that though, for future reference)

Anyway, there it is. I ask that you, the readers, take the time to give me your thoughts. This is my first fanfiction on here, and I don't want it to be too much of a bust. So once again: please review!
