Chapter 1 - Introduction (REVISED)
"Ahh, what beautiful morning!" Remarked Keitaro to Naru as they were leaving Hinata Sou to get on a train heading to Tokyo for the Toudai exam.
"I know I will pass this exam for sure!" exclaimed Naru.
They got on the train and bumped into a familiar person, Mutsumi. "Hey Mutsumi, ready for the exam?"
Mutsumi turned to the voice and said "Oh! Hi guys. Yes, I am ready for the exam." Then, she stepped forward and did something Naru did not like one bit. She gave Keitaro a long French kiss. "Oh, mine! Kei-kun is sure good kisser. Did you both have practice lately?"
They both blushed before Naru denied doing such a thing "I'd rather kiss a poison frog than kiss him" fumed Naru. Keitaro was naturally hurt by her comment and little pissed off so he gave Mutsumi a longer French kiss which made Naru more angrier and Mutsumi even more dizzying.
As the train rolled on, they chat for a while until the train stopped at the station near Toudai University entrance. "Why don't we meet at the Toudai entrance and eat out after the exam? My treat" Keitaro asked. Both ladies agreed.
They went to the designated classrooms and took the exam which took all day. After the exam, they met at the entrance and went to a restaurant. They enjoyed the dinner.
As they were leaving the restaurant, they heard a voice called out "Hey Part-timer! I need to talk with you about the upcoming archaeology dig."
"You girls, go on to the station and I will be there after I talk with Seta" said Keitaro "Ok!" replied Naru and Mutsumi. Seta and Keitaro talked for a while and then Seta gave some papers to an undecided Keitaro for reading. They bided goodbye and Keitaro almost missed the train.
"Keitaro, What was it all about?" asked Mutsumi.
"It is about a new archaeology dig that could change the history of the world, basing on what Seta told me."
"Are you going?" asked Naru.
"I told him I have not made my decision yet" replied Keitaro "I think I will let Seta know after I find out my exam result. What I want to do right now is go to bed and sleep for long time. then do nothing for a week!"
After arriving the destination, they bided farewell to Mutsumi and headed to Hinata Sou. True to his word, he slept for 12 hours and did nothing.
A week later, Keitaro and Naru went to Toudai to check the score. And to their dismay, they found out they were ronins once again and headed back to the Hinata Sou.. Even with a week of relaxing rest, they are instantly worn out and not looking forward to another year of studying. Their minds kept repeating only one thought: "How could I have failed the exam again?"
"I can't believe it." Said Naru, two time ronin "I thought I passed it for sure!"
"I know the feeling" groaned Keitaro
"What will you do now?" asked Naru
"To tell you the truth, I don't know. But I do know one thing, I am tired of studying. What about you, Naru?" Sighed Keitaro
"I don't know." admitted Naru, exhaustedly.
Keitaro suddenly remembered the conversation with Seta, "Hey, Naru?"
"Yeah, Keitaro?"
"I have an idea. Remember when we left the restaurant after the exam and I talked with Seta?" Naru nodded. "Well, I forgot to mention one thing: Seta told me I can take two persons with me for this dig. So, I was thinking about asking you and Mutsumi to join me."
"What! I am not even interested in archaeology at all, dumb ass!" Growled Naru "As you know, I am aiming to be psychologist" (A/N: I think she need to see one for sexuality and anger)
"Hear me out, please!" pleading Keitaro
"It better be good one!"
"Seta gave me the papers. It would be easier if you read it. It will explain everything It is in my room." reasoned Keitaro
"It better not be one of your perverted things." growled Naru.
"No no, it isn't!"
"Alright, I will look at it"
As we all know, Hinata Sou is famous for excessive partying, everyone at Hinata Sou was waiting for the ronins to get back to start the celebration party. Alas, they never had a party after finding out Naru and Keitaro both failed.
After a marvellous dinner made by Shinobu, Keitaro showed the papers to Naru who got interested after reading. "Wow, Seta might be right." Commented Naru
"Hey Naru, why don't we tell Mutsumi about the dig and see if she is interested? I am sure she need a break as well." Keitaro phoned her and she agreed to join after hearing the details about the dig.
The next day, they went to see Seta who was overjoyed that his favourite part-timer was going with him. He also agreed to take the ladies along. "The more, the merrier" reasoned Seta.
How little would they know this archaeological dig trip will change their lives forever.
