Cigarette smoke surrounds the speaker Well hello! This is a new fic from the sonofduress. I have recently finished my Hellsing fic, and decided to go for a lighter hearted attempt of a fanfic. However I am unsure about writing comedy, because quite frankly, I have never written in this genre before. Please read and review and comments are always appreciated. As this fic is completely unplanned, I will also look forward to suggestions from you! Although please email to so that your suggestions remain secret! Okay enough waffling, on with the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Love Hina or any of Ken Akamatsu's characters, however I own my pack of cigarettes, and Ken ain't getting any, cheap, lousy basterd...
Chapter 1: A Normal Day...After Naru and Keitaro were married, things settled down at the Hinatasou. The two newly-weds left to start their family in their new home, leaving the Hina Inn without a manager, after several people tried to fill in the position but were not able to stand the pressure of the job, Kanako returned filled in, and four years later...
Kanako Urashima woke up at 6:17 on the cold morning of January the 4th, cranky as usual. She had the seemingly endless list of chores that awaited her as manager of Hinata Dormitory for Girls. Temporary manager, Kanako corrected herself as she dressed in simple jeans and a black t-shirt. Tying her favourite black ribbon around her neck, she applied her lipstick and nail polish – all black of course, before she began her attending to all the minor chores before breakfast. Her thoughts turned, as they always did, to her beloved brother Keitaro and his wife Naru. They had been married almost 4 years now, and despite having a young girl of 3, another child was on the way. The thought of the auburn-haired woman in her brother's loving arms did little to improve Kanako's already sour mood. Muttering a curse she punched the wall, causing a huge hole. She sweat dropped when she realised she would have to repair that hole later. They needed a new landlord, Kanako realized. She and Shinobu-chan attended a cram school, and although both of them had failed the first time, neither was disheartened by the failure. Failing the first time was a Hinata tradition after all, and both were looking forward to a Toudai with Keitaro. Sighing as her thoughts returned once again to Keitaro, Kanako went to wake up the rest of the residents.
Meia was already awake and dressed in her school uniform when Kanako knocked on her door. Knowing that her best fiend Wu wasn't a morning person she rushed upstairs to Wu's room, which lay above the now abandoned Manager's room.
"Wu-chan, it's time to wake up!" Meia said, shaking her smaller friend.
"Uh? Just 5 more minutes..." Wu murmured groggily, before turning around.
Meia sweet-dropped before cracking her knuckles, light glinting evilly off her glasses. "You leave me choice. Prepare Yourself! Special Tickle Attack!" before launching her attack of tickles that left Wu rolling helplessly and giggling hysterically.
Su and Sara burst from behind a hanging, both already dressed. "Hmm, looks like fun. Let's join in!" Su exclaimed.
"Nooo! Su, NNNOOOOOOO!" both girls screamed, alas too late.
"Tickle-Tama Attack!" shouted, pointing dramatically. A turtle robot burst out and launched two hands that unmercifully tickled the two girls.
"Eat this!" Sara yelled, throwing one of Su Super Stun Bombs™ leaving the two girls in a very suggestive and perverse position. Both were flushed and panting heavily whilst Meia had her head in Wu's ample breast, and their clothing was in disarray. Kanako opened the door, and immediately face-planted at the sight of the two.
"If I don't ask, I won't have to know..." Kanako said sweat dropping as she closed the door again.
"Breakfast is ready!" Shinobu called from downstairs, laying the finishing touches to the large breakfast she had prepared. There was a stampede as all the residents, bar Meia and Wu, rushed downstairs. The food was devoured speedily with many happy mumbled "Thank you!" as the Hinata inhabitants prepared for another day.
"Waaaaahhh! We'll be late!" Meia screamed going swirly-eyed and waving her arms.
"Come on!" Wu yelled, grabbing Meia and sprinting after the tram. Sara and Su rushing after them.
"Good bye, Motoko-senpai!" Arissa said, respectively before hurrying after the others, at a more dignified pace.
The older inhabitants of Hinata shared a chuckle at the liveliness of the younger tenets before preparing for the day ahead. Shinobu and Kanako left soon afterwards, heading towards their cram school, whilst Motoko enjoyed a leisurely morning, as she slowly gathered her books and notes for Toudai. Motoko was now a second year Law student, she had managed to pass the second time around, and her sister had been proud. Realising that she would be late of she wasted anymore time, Motoko quickly left, not noticing the dark silhouette that was hiding in the shadow of a large tree.
Several hours later, Kanako and Shinobu came out of their cram course with severe headaches. Shinobu was having one of her trademark panics, eyes swirling and waving her arms around.
"Waaaaahhh! The test is in 12 days!!!" Shinobu was saying.
"No need to panic, Shinobu-chan," Kanako said calmly, "I'm sure we'll pass."
Shinobu calmed down slightly, "Yes, you're right Kanako-senpai. I shouldn't panic. Uhm..." Shinobu trailed off.
"Yes what is it?"
"Uhm, after the test, can we go shopping together?" Shinobu asked shyly, blushing cutely.
Kanako was caught a little of guard by the request, "Uhm, sure why not?"
"Yippee!" Shinobu said, "Cause I wanted to buy some new clothes, and I always wanted to know where you get all those nice dresses"
"Ehh, but I thought you didn't like all my black dresses. Especially with all the lace."
"I changed my mind," Shinobu said, blushing again, "I think they look really cute, and that's why I want a few"
Kanako looked at Shinobu oddly for a few seconds, before shrugging, "Why not?"
Motoko came out of her lecture wearing a worried look. Her semester exams were coming up soon, and she wasn't as prepared as she would like. Lost in thought she didn't see the person in front of her until she bumped into him.
"Ahh, suimasen! I wasn't paying any attention..." she trailed of as she took a closer look at the man. He wasn't actually a man, but a very tall guy, maybe a little younger than she was. He was tall, towering over Motoko who was tall, and he his body had a hard look about it. Not muscle hard, but there was strength there that Motoko recognised; it was the strength one gains from being conditioned. He had long red hair, that hung loosely about his shoulders. He was wearing dark sunglasses so Motoko couldn't see his eyes, and a cigarette was hanging from the corner of his mouth. He was dressed in dark clothing, mostly black, and his ears were pierced, twice on the right side, and three times on the left. He was wearing a large cross, which was black, with silver around it, and in the middle was a crucified Christ. He was also wearing black fingerless gloves, that disappeared into his sleeves.
"No problem," a foreign accent replied before the man turned away and left Motoko. She sensed something odd about him, but she couldn't place it.
"Motoko-senpai!" She heard a call, and turned to see Arissa running towards her, Motoko turned to find the tall man again, but he was gone. "Is something wrong, senpai?" Arissa asked when she reached the tall kendo girl.
Motoko turned with a warm smile, "No nothings the matter, let's go home."
Su and Sara had a normal day at school. However, their version of normal would shock many. Skipping classes that didn't interest them ("Who needs history? You can't eat it!" Su had said) they focused on testing out some new gadgets on some guys from the basketball club who had been pestering them for a date. As the basketball team was disrupted from practise by dozens of flying pies launched by Sara, who was wielding Su's Homing Turtle Pie Launcher™ Su was scribbling on a notepad about how to improve the design. After escaping the teacher's wrath by means of a secret tunnel (the entire Hinata region was crawling with secret passages. Only Su and Sara knew them all, and Mutsumi for some strange reason) they settled into their favourite class; psychics. The teacher, Futsaki-sensei, enjoyed teaching the two, due to the difficult questions that they'd ask and their focus. Today, they were strangely subdued, huddled at the back, deep in discussion surrounded by piles of designs. Futsaki walked to the back of the class, to see what was wrong.
"The problem is the mini-target identifying device in each pie," Sara was saying, "They add weight and cause the trajectory to change."
"No, I'm sure that's the rocket propulsion you added."
"I added the rocket to compensate for the weight of your targeting device."
Futsaki quickly made his suggestion, "Why don't you use micro-light fuel cells?"
Both girls turned, "Futsaki-sensei, we tried that but then they didn't produce enough thrust," Su said.
"Hmm, then you need to..." Futsaki said, and the lesson proceeded as normal.
Wu and Meia came out of class, barely alive.
"Man, that Butsumi-sensei really drills in the knowledge doesn't he?" Wu said wearily.
"Yeah, he can't even let up for a couple of minutes, just non-stop..." Meia was interrupted as two guys stood in front of them. Meia immediately squeaked and scooted behind Wu.
"What do you guys want?" Wu demanded.
"Well we think you two are cute, so we were wondering if you would like to come with us to the..."
THWACK, KA-TWACK!
The paper-fan in Wu's hand was still smoking from the impact, as were the suitor's heads.
"Wu-chan, don't you think that went a little too far?" Meia said, sweat-dropping.
"Not really, those two are famous. They want to have a hundred notches in their belts before they leave school"
"Eww perverts!"
"Exactly, Meia-chan. Come on, let's go home"
The girls arrived home to find a marvellous feast waiting for them. Hurridely, they all tucked into the glorious food, before heading upstairs to do whatever they wanted. Shinobu and Kanako disappeared into Kanako's room to study (although the ended up with Shinobu trying on a couple of Kanako's dresses) whilst Meia studied more earnestly. Su and Sara vanished into a secret passage to avoid any cleaning-up duties, and hurried to their jungle room where they were touching up the Homing Turtle Pie Launcher™ for another test run tomorrow. Motoko and Arissa went for their normal Kendo training, which left Wu all alone. Shrugging, Wu went up to her room and turned on her Discman before falling asleep.

Notes from Author...Uhm, yeah, that was really short. But it was more to introduce the current inhabitants of Hinata. I don't know about the characters yet though, I am considering cutting the character of Arissa, because she doesn't get much lime light...oh well. That's all for now... Ja ne! Walks of into sunset, trailing cigarette smoke
