Collection of short one-shots featuring many pairings in To Love-Ru and their unforgettable past moments.
Genre: Mostly Family and Romance
Warning: OOC-ness, hefty amount of OC, horrible plot
Disclaimer : To Love-Ru is owned by Kentaro Yabuki and Hasemi Saki, Some OCs belong to respective authors, I own the children's names
Note : This is my VERY first story for To Love-Ru. I'm a good, but not good enough fan. I apologize if the story was very, very horrible. I'm going to do my best. The fics take time about 7-20 years after the end of TLR-Darkness Manga
Here we go with the first chapter. Although I shipped RitoXYui and RitoXLala the most, I guess I'll put the harem initiator first, you know who I mean.
Shot 1: The Summer Festival
(AU: 14 years after the end of TLR-Darkness Manga)
Pair: Rito X Momo
It was a clear evening in Sainan Town, the hometown of the current leader, or we should say, King of the Devilukean Empire. Being born and bred for years, the King won't be able to resist visiting the peaceful town in Japan, despite the fact that he already have his own castle on planet Deviluke. But sometimes, his duty prevented him to do so.
But now, he had the chance since there's no dutiful tasks scheduled, and so he had the chance to visit this town again.
Despite the darkness surrounding the town, there was one place where rays of light gently flooded the certain area.
On the complex of the Sainan Town Shrine, stood many varieties of bazaar/festival stands, ranging from food stalls, games, decoration shops, and many more. Between some stalls or on the center of junctions stood a pole filled with numerous amount of lamps and beautiful decorations.
These are all because they're celebrating an annual festival taking place every summer.
On the festival, a group of people was strolling along. One is a man with orange-brown hair, golden eyes tall and lean but a bit buff-built. He wore a yukata designed for males. On his right ring finger was a ring that resembles something related to Deviluke. Walking with him was a lady with shoulder-length pink hair tied to a short ponytail, beautiful lilac eyes and wearing a pinkish sakura-patterned yukata. Along with them were two boys and a girl. One is a boy on his early teenage years, with brown hair like the young man, and lilac eyes like the lady. The other was a boy with light reddish hair (a mixture of pink and brown) and also lilac eyes, why the girl was having a pink hair with golden eyes. The girl wore a small-sized yukata that fits perfectly well for her, while the boys used some casual clothes like T-shirt and denim trousers.
"Otou-sama! Okaa-sama! Can all of us try the game on that stall?" The oldest of the children pointed at a ring throwing stall.
"Sure, Zentora, you can. But you have to make sure your younger siblings follows you too, okay?" The man, which turned out to be his father, replied.
"Hai!" the boy replied. "Tokugatsu, Akemi, come on!"
"Wait for me, onii-san!"
The three children ran towards the stall, leaving the two adults behind
"Rito-san," the young lady called. "It's been awhile since all of us attend this annual Earth summer festival, isn't it."
"You're right, Momo. This place surely gives us some memories." The man, now known as Rito replied.
Hearing that response made Momo suddenly blush like heck. Rito probably might not know about it, but when he said "Memories", Momo's mind easily went off to a certain memory in the same place, but dated many years ago, when Rito suddenly gave his opinion of a certain plan Momo initiated.
-Flashback-
"About my feelings for Lala, or the Devilukean throne, I could understand that the Harem Plan was a good solution despite the fact that it's strange." Rito stated. "But, why did you do all of this, Momo?"
Momo was surprised, and blush immediately filled her cheeks.
"It's because..."
Begin thoughts
I love you, Rito-san. I don't care if I'm the second or the third, as long as I could be the one you love
End thoughts
"...I wanted everyone to be happy. I must do it because you and onee-sama are so dense." Momo replied quite innocently, earning a confused look from her love interest. "C'mon, let's go meet the others."
-End Flashback-
"Eh, Momo, why are you blushing?" Rito suddenly asked, after noticing her flustered wife in front of him."
"Eh...Ah...am I?"
"Yes, you are."
"Uh...well...I..." Momo stammered, realizing she was caught a bit daydreaming. "Remember the first time we went on a festival like this?"
"Uh-huh..." Rito was a bit confused about the sudden question.
"And do you remember yourself asking me about the Harem Plan that I had initiated before?"
"Oh, right." Rito's mind now also being directed onto that certain memory.
"And did you remember about the response that I give you back then?"
"Err, of course, if I'm not mistaken, you said that you wanted everyone to be happy, didn't you?" Rito replied, now getting full memory about the certain event.
"Well, the truth is, I lied to you about that response."
To Momo's surprise, Rito's face didn't show any surprises or shock, instead, he just give her an egao.
"I figured."
"Eh?"
"Years I've been living with you, you were the most frontal of all three sisters, and had even did something that is quite extended those of your sister, which was my fiancé. At first, I did approve of your reasoning about wanting everyone to be happy. But then, time went by and I became suspicious of your activity, and that made me came onto a conclusion: You wanted me to notice you, and your love. That explains a lot of your actions."
Momo can't help but to blush at the comment.
"Then you became so bold that you even confessed your love to me, that proves more." Rito said. "But then, despite my shaken and disoriented heart caused by your sudden confession, I didn't feel uncomfortable as time goes by."
Momo's eyes grew wide at the statement.
"You have done so much for me. You helped me realize the affections given by my friends, and most importantly, you have taught Lala on ways to love someone, although I know Lala is too innocent and childish to know your methods." Rito giggled. "You have done so much more than enough reason for me to see you as my precious treasure also, aside from your sister and Sairenji. And I don't regret my choice to put you onto my life."
Now the wide eyes gave out tears, "R...Rito-san"
Momo's face now leaned closer to Rito's, her mouth let out a soft whisper
"Anata o hontōni aishiteimasu"
Their eyes, dry and watery ones, locked on each other, and slowly Momo's lips tried to close the gap with Rito's.
"Otou-sama! Okaa-sama!" Tokugatsu suddenly cried out, startling the two blissed parents. "Look what I got!"
"Damn, Tokugatsu, you killed the mood!" Zentora said at his brother, before looking at his parents. "Sorry if we disturbed your "event"."
Both parents blushed upon hearing that sentence, before Rito noticed that his phone vibrated.
"Oh, Mikan sent me a message, she said that the fireworks show is going to start, we should join the others right now. Let's go!"
"Hai!"
A/N: Okay, this is it for the first chapter. I'm really sorry if this chapter looks a bit not original since I take a reference from the anime, but I tried my best not to fully copy the event from the anime.
Please Read&Review, and I might warn you that the next chapter might be posted a bit longer due to business in my project area. Please send me feedback if I should continue this story or not.
Until then, see you next time!
