Author's Time: This idea is bugging my and after reading vol. 12, it's about time I wrote out this idea. What is it? The whole Keitaro, Naru marriage. Now, I know what you might be thinking; great, another lame love story right? Well, remember, this is part humor so do think it's all lovey dovey. O yeah, I'm not using the love hina manga story line, I'm kinda using my own. O yeah, July 10th, MY BIRTHDAY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was early summer and Keitaro was just waking up. He sat up and stretched out a bit, looking around his room.
"Good morning sleepy head..." a voice called. Keitaro looked around and saw Naru's head from the hold in his ceiling.
"Hey Naru, what's up?" Naru jumped down from her room to his.
"Nothing much, I was going to ask you the same thing." Keitaro looked at her.
"You mind if you stop staring?" Naru glared at him.
"Er...sorry! I was wondering if you want to go out or something today..." Keitaro said to her. Naru thought for a minute.
"Ok, why not..." "Ok! Same place and time ok?" Keitaro said. Naru winked at him and climbed back up to her room. Keitaro laid back on his futon.
[Wow, I can't believe me and Naru has gotten this far in our relationship... it was like yesterday that we decided to become an item...took me awhile to get a straight answer from her...and of course it cost me a lot of money to catch up with her whenever she had to leave for a 'special class' she had to teach over who knows where. But it happened, we became a couple...and I got my first real kiss from her on that night. From then on, we went on date like crazy...and every time I got a kiss! Well...except that one time and Neverland where the sprinklers came on...or that time in the park where those flocks of birds came out of nowhere...and then that time on our laundry roof when Mutsumi interrupted...] Keitaro thought. "Arg! Now that I think about it! I never got another kiss from Naru since then! How pathetic!"
"O my, how true..." Mutsumi said, somehow in back of Keitaro. He jumped back as Mutsumi laughed.
Chapter 1: Plans of Marriage
"Mutsumi! How did you sneak in here! When did you sneak in here anyways?" Keiaro asked.
"Um...I heard everything from 'and I got my first real kiss from her on that night' I mean! Not too long ago!" Mutsumi said to him.
"Mutsumi! What the...can you read my mind!" Keitaro asked. "Of course not! No one can do that!" She said to him. Keitaro had a sweat drop on his head.
[I think she really can read my mind...] "Er...Just don't sneak in here ever again..." Mutsumi sat next to Keitaro.
"You know Keitaro, it seems like you and Naru have things really steady." "Yeah, I'm surprised that me and her have gone this far..." He said to Mutsumi. She smiled at him.
"Then why not go to the next step?" She asked him. Keitaro looked at her.
"What do you mean 'next step'?"
"You know, tie the knot, get hitched, and all the other things that relate to getting married!" Keitaro was taken back by the comment.
"Marriage! Are you sure! I mean, I know Naru loves me and all but marriage!"
"Shhh! Kei-kun! Naru's probably still in her room!" Mutsumi warned him. "O right! Sorry...but marriage?" "Don't worry about it, if Naru really loves you, she would say yes! Everyone is behind you one hundred percent! And don't worry about a engagement ring either! I have it covered!" She said, handing him a blue feather. Keitaro looked at the feather. There was nothing special about it, it was a big, dark blue feather that probably belonged to an Ostrage or something. Keitaro looked up at her.
"Mutsumi...I don't get it..." "What is there to get?! Just give it to her!" Mutsumi told him. She got up and walked towards the exit. "Don't forget Keitaro! We are behind you one hundred percent!"
Keitaro looked at the feather and stowed it away. "Heh, marriage...that's a good one...hey Naru! Wanna hear what Mutsumi came up right about now?" Keitaro called from his room to hers.
"Er...wait! Keitaro don't come in! I'm chang...ing" She called to him but it was too late, Keitaro's head was popping from the hole and saw Naru in her bra and panty. Immediately, Keitaro was kicked down, back into his own room. "Dammit Keitaro! By now I would think you would learn to stop doing that!" Naru yelled at him.
[Yep, that's something that will never change...] Keitaro thought to herself.
**
Kitsune was relaxing in front of the T.V. when Keitaro jetted past by her. "Hey there Keitaro, what's the hurry?" Kitsune asked him.
"Going to meet Naru and..."
"You're late again? O man, are you going to fry..." Kitsune said to him.
"You're not helping!" He told her, running out the door. Kitsune looked around. "Ok, you guys, rally! Keitaro and Naru are gone." Everyone else came to the living room and sat down. "Ok, so we are all in on the idea to improve Keitaro and Naru's relationship right?" Kitsune asked them.
"I'm in!" Mutsumi called.
"I guess..." Motoko said softly.
"Yessum!" Su proclaimed.
"I still think he's a dork..." Sarah told them.
"I'm...I'm fine with that..." Shinobu said. Everyone looked at Kanako.
"...i'll get my disguise kit ready." Is all she said.
"Alright! Let operation 'OverKill' commence!" Kitsune call and everyone cheered.
"Kitsune! Couldn't you think of some other operation name?!" Shinobu yelled at her.
"Ok you guys, they are heading off to their normal meeting place, move out!" Kitsune commanded them.
**
"Wow, Naru's not even here yet..." Keitaro said to himself, trying to catch his breath. "I even made a tiny detour to pick something up..." He said, taking out a tiny black box from his pocket. He also took out the blue feather that Mutsumi gave him. "I still don't get it..." he said as he looked at the feather. "That Mutsumi sometimes...dunno what's going on in her head..."
"Keitaro!" a voice called.
He turned around, quickly pocketing the box and the feather. "Naru! You're late!"
"Sorry, I had to run an erne and for some reason, Mutsumi appeared in a ninja suit and she tried to kidnap me...dunno what's going on in her head now a days." Naru told him.
"Exactly what I was thinking."
Away from Keitaro and Naru...
"How's our plan of ransoming Naru going?" Kitsune asked Mutsumi when she came back.
"Um...what was the plan again?"
She asked Kitsune again. "Great...I knew I should have sent Motoko...never mind, processed to our next attempt!"
"Captain Kitsune! Keitaro and Naru over yonder port side!" Su said to her.
"Perfect, let's go!"
Naru and Keitaro were in the park, sitting on a bench in the shade. Naru's arms were around Keitaro's arm and her head rested on his shoulder.
"Naru? You ok?" Keitaro asked her.
"Yeah, just sleepy. I couldn't go to sleep last night..." Naru told him.
"Why not?"
"It's strange, I get the same dream every night and it gets really weird every night." Keitaro looked at her.
"What are they about?"
"In my dream, I'm standing in front of the Hinata Inn, looking at it straight on and then your hand is on my shoulder. I turn around and see you in a tuxedo. So then I turn around again and we are in a church and that I'm wearing a wedding dress. From there I wake up...great, I think I'm going nuts or something!" Naru said with her eyes shut.
[Hmm, maybe this is a good time to ask her..] Keitaro thought taking out the small black box. "Hey Naru, I have something to..."
"But I really don't want to think about that right now. I want to stay like this forever, as boyfriend and girlfriend..." Naru interrupted.
[Damn, looks like this isn't the time...] He thought, putting it back in his pocket.
"Er...Keitaro, don't look now but check out the big bird and the kangaroo..." Naru said, pointing out to the field. They looked at the animals that are strangely there. "Grr....Kitsune! You guys! Stop spying on us!" Naru yelled chasing after them.
"Ack! She knows! Run!" Kitsune said to them.
"How did they figure it out?" Mutsumi asked, hopping in the kangaroo costume.
**
"Another date interrupted..." Naru said with her head on her desk. "Why does this always happen to us..."
"Na-chan?" Mutsumi called from Naru's door.
"Great...are you here to spy on me again?"
"No Na-chan, I just want t talk." Mutsumi said. Naru moved to make space for Mutsumi to sit down.
"So how are you and Keitaro doing in your relationship?" Mutsumi asked, sitting down. Naru knew she couldn't lie to her.
"Um...just great, yeah, just great." She told her.
"Really? Have you two kissed lately?" Naru blushed a little.
"Well, I don't know, you should know since you keep on interrupting in our dates all the time!" Naru told her. Mutsumi thought for a minute.
"O my, your right!" Mutsumi said, making Naru fall over.
"Ok Mutsumi, why are you really here?" Naru asked her.
"If you really want to know... I want to know how you really feel about Keitaro." Mutsumi said to her.
"What are you talking about? I'm going out with him aren't I? Doesn't that mean I..."
"Love him? Of course, but are you really doing it because you love him? Or is it for show?" Mutsumi said, looking at her with concern. Naru staggered backwards.
"F-For show? Of course not! I-I love Keitaro..." She told her. Mutsumi got up and headed for the door.
"O...In that case, I'll leave you alone now. Bye Na-chan!" Mutsumi said, leaving. Naru was silent.
**
"Man...and I thought that being in the hot spring will make me relax..." Keitaro said to himself as he sat in the spring. "Good thing I warned everyone that I was here...don't want to increase the stress." Unknown to Keitaro, the hot spring door slid open. "Man. How could Naru say that! Now I lose all nerve to ask her to marry me..." Keitaro took out the black box. "I guess I won't be giving this to her anytime soon..."
"Giving what?" a voice said.
Keitaro quickly tossed it away from him and turned around to see Naru sitting across from him.
"Naru! What are you doing here! I told you I was going to use the spring!" Keitaro talking fast to save himself.
"Calm down why don't you! Do you want the others to know that we are in here together?!" Naru yelled at him.
"Huh? Wait, you knew I was in here but you came anyways?" Keitaro asked her. He notices that Naru was turning red, but he thought it was just the spring.
"Yes..." She softly said.
"I don't get it though...why?" Keitaro asked.
"Fine! If you don't want my presences then I should just leave!" Naru said, getting up.
"No! Don't take it that way! Come back!" Keitaro pleaded. [I just can't believe that Naru actually came here on her free will is all...] Keitaro thought to himself.
"Ok, if you really want to know...I just want to talk to you." Naru told him.
"Ok...so what do you want to talk about?" Keitaro asked. "I was wondering...ever since we, well became a couple...why, of all people, did you fall in love with me?" Naru asked him, trying to resist making eye contact.
"Why? Because you are special to me Naru."
"I know that! But why am I so special to you?! What makes me so special?! I'm just like any old girl except I can't make my food look edible! I can't face my problems face to face! I'm just a road block in anyone's life! Why! Why me! Is it because of that childhood promise?!" Naru practical screamed, now in tears. Keitaro's forehead was against hers.
"If you want the real answer, it was. I believed that the girl I made my promise to is that special person that I will spend the rest of my life with. And since you are the first person that had the same story as me, about making a promise 15 years ago, I thought you were that special person. That's why I fell in love with you...."
"But Mutsumi has the same story! She could be that promise girl! Not me!" Naru said, continuing to sob.
"...But that's not the case anymore. I don't love you because of some dumb promise anymore...the reason that I'm in love with you now is because..."
"Keitaro! You in here?!" a voice called. Keitaro looked at the direction of the voice and saw Naru at the doorway.
"N-Naru?!" Keitaro asked, now confused. Just then, a smaller Naru came threw the doors.
"Keitaro?"
Then...another and another...and another.
"I'm confused on which the real Naru is..." Keitaro said.
"Dammit Keitaro! I'm the real Naru!" the real Naru said, wiping away her tears and hitting him up skyward. "And you guys!" She stared at the other fake Narus. "Run you guys!" Kitsune commanded as everyone else ran in opposite directions. "Stop spying on us!" Naru screamed at them.
End of Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the information that Naru has, she too is trying to figure out why she fell in love with Keitaro. For show? For real love? Just to show the other up? For her own feelings? As Naru tries to organize her thoughts, Keitaro has other plans for Naru. Next time, Chapter 2: The proposal.
