To Love Ru: Love Troubles
Notes: this is pretty much a retelling of the whole story so Rito will be mostly OC. Some events from the series will be the same while others take a different turn while new events take place such as Rito actually fighting some battles that put him in life or death situations, kinda like how most shonen characters go through. Reason for doing this aside for being fun is cause I am not too big on Rito's personality but I love the series all and all. Anyway you will see the difference's in this Rito as you read the story. So let's get started.
In deep space a very beautiful young alien princess with a spade like tipped black tail and pink hair was in a ship passing by the earth as she noticed it through the washroom's window. "Okay. This is my chance." She pressed a switched on her wrist where two men in black suits heard the noise. "She's gone!" They said. This all happened in the evening time for the earth so let's go back a little earlier and meet out main protaganist as he begins his day in the morning. He wakes after a knock on the door from his precious little sister.
"Hey, Rito. Wake up. You're gonna be late for school and the breakfast I made is gonna get cold." She said to him as she shook her brother who remained under the covers till he pulled her in and gave a eek noise and noted he was still sleeping. Her brother was very well toned since he trained a lot in martial arts and played a lot of soccer his hair was a spikey style light brown color. She blushed being so close to him.
"Mmmmm, Marsh mellow..." He mumbled in his dream.
"I'm not a Marsh mellow. Hey! Wake up already Rito." She said as she pinched his cheek.
"Ahhhh," He said as he woke up half asleep. "Where'd that marsh mellow that bit me go?" He asked himself as he then looked down and noticed Mikan. "You know Mikan I don't know if you should be doing these kind of things with me." He said teasingly as he yawned.
"You pulled me in when I was trying to wake you up! Anyway hurry up and get changed. You're gonna be late." She a said as she finally got free of her brother's grip. Rito got changed and ate his breakfast and was now at the door.
"Alright, I'm heading out. Be careful on your way to school Mikan." He told his sister.
"You be careful too. Try not to cause Yui any trouble today." She said in a teasing manner.
"What's Yui got to do with anything?" He asked as his sister sighed. Her brother had his charms but was pretty oblivious to how girls feel about him. The most he could understand was being friends with people and having fun especially these are his school days.
"Never mind just go." She told him as he took off. "Honestly I wish he was more open about the feelings of others but then..." Mikan blushed as she then shook her head and got any thoughts of her brother being anything different out of her mind. Rito was making a run for it as he got side tracked petting a cat passing by before returning it to it's owner. He got passed the gates just as they were closing.
"Looks like I may just get passed..."
"Hold it right there Rito!" A girl yelled with a stern voice.
"Damn it." He thought. He turned around and a girl with long dark hair, light brown eyes, and was wearing the girls uniform. "Hey, Yui. Good morning." He said innocently.
"Don't good morning me! You're late again! If I've told you once I told you a thousand times to be on time!" She scolded him. This young girl is Kotegawa Yui. The school's president in the disciplinary committee. She has been friends with Rito and Mikan since she first met them at a temple where Rito saved a cat from a tree. They officially became friends after running into each other again at a park where Rito was trying to cheer Mikan up after she scraped her knee and Yui ended being the one who bandaged it. Since then Yui has been close to them and has made it known that she hates indecent things and indecent acts. Her favorite phrase in those situations "How shameless" She was very beautiful but because of her personality a lot of the boys avoid her. Her and Rito often stood on opposite ends in their beliefs. In this situation Rito didn't think it was a big deal being a little late every now and then where as Yui feels that kind of attitude leads to the path of indecency.
"Come on, I'm only tardy if the bell rings right. Besides I got a good reason why I'm late this time." Rito replied.
"What is it?" She asked waiting to here what his excuse this time was as she glared at her childhood friend.
"Well, I was walking then I saw a little cat and was petting it for a bit and lost track of time before I had to return it to it's owner." He told her.
"Let's just go. Come on." She said as she dragged him to their classroom by the collar not wanting to hear anymore of it. "Seriously of all people for me to be friends with, it had to be him." She said in her thoughts. They made it to the classroom and everyone watched a typical routine.
"Oh~, Kotegawa and Yuuki coming in together again?" Another female student with short light brown hair and brown eyes walked to them with a friend with dark hair in pig tails wearing glasses. "You two are quite an item here at school." She said teasingly.
"W-W-We are not!" Yui yelled.
"Risa-chan. You really shouldn't be making fun of Kotegawa-san." A girl with short blue hair and blue eyes. Yui then let go of Rito and let him hit the floor.
"Ow." He said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Are you okay, Yuuki-kun?" She asked him.
"Yeah. This is pretty typical from Yui, Sairenji." Rito replied with a chuckle. The girl is Haruna Sairenji. A very nice girl but usually a bit shy. She lives with her sister in an apartment. She has been in the same class as Rito since 8th grade. She has a very strong admiration for Rito since he is known for being kind and caring as well as a skill fighter. He has never fought unless he felt it necessary. Then she felt a pair of hands groping her breasts.
"Ahh, R-Risa-chan!"
"Oh my. Haruna-chan still has such a good figure." Risa said to her while Rito and Yui blushed at the act.
"Sh-Sh-Shameless! Stop that right now!" She yelled at Risa till she turned her attention to Yui and groped her breasts.
"Oh, come on Kotegawa. You tell me to stop but you've got a lewd body yourself." Risa said to her.
"STOP IT NOW!" Yui was a typical day for Rito. Little did he know his days were about to change. After school was over Rito headed for home after saying his farewell to Yui. When Rito returns home Mikan would usually be home before him and already be doing the chores and prepping dinner. Rito would change into a work out outfit and train in the back yard. Thirty minutes of warm ups and simple work outs then an hour of martial arts training. Afterwards he will start watering the plants in their backyard. Rito loved to garden as a hobby. Once that was done he stepped inside for some juice.
"Rito, I'll be making dinner soon.." Mikan told him as she put on her apron.
"Got it. I'll hit the bath then." He replied. Rito got out of his clothes and threw his sweaty clothes in the washing mashing and entered bathtub after filling it up with hot water. Now we are at point in time where mystery princess disappeared. Rito was relaxing with hot water soothing his muscles. "This is so nice. I wonder if that talk with Saruyama today is something I should consider." He said to himself as he thought back to his lunch break.
Flashback.
"Hey, Rito. You've been friends with Kotegawa since you were kids and in the same class as Sairenji since the 8th grade?" His friend asked him.
"Yeah. What about it?" Rito replied as he ate Mikan's special lunch for him.
"And on top of that you got a freaking cute little sister whose practically a house wife!" Saruyama yelled as he imagined Mikan being all wifey and Moeish.
"Welcome home, Onii-san! Would you like to eat dinner first or take a bath first? Or do you want me?" The Imaginary Mikan said as we leave Saruyama's imagination.
"No way Mikan would ever say that. But she is more reliable at that stuff than me." He told him.
"You're missing the point! A guy like you should already have a girlfriend! At the very least introduce me to a girl!" He complained.
"Guess I just haven't found that spark. It would be nice but I don't think it's something I should rush or force." Rito replied as he continued eating like it was nothing.
"Seriously man, you say all that but I bet when you do find that spark you won't even know what to do. I honestly don't know why you can be this carefree about it." He said.
End Flash Back.
"Maybe he has a point. Maybe I should try to get a girlfriend. Hmm...What am I worried about. I'll know the spark when I see her. Not like she's just gonna pop up in front of me like in an anime or something." Rito said to himself as he laughed at his joke till he noticed a light coming out of the bath tub with a big splash there was a beautiful girl with long pink hair before him and she was completely naked and he could see her chest was quite big.
"Escape plan was a complete success!" She yelled to herself and notice Rito just staring at her and his left hand was grabbing her boob. "Hello." she said happily with a cheerful smile with her emerald colored eyes. Rito was absorbing all this till he felt like a tiny bit of his soul escape through his nose as it said in a squeaky voice. "I'm free!" then...
"UUUUWAAHHHHHH!" He was so overloaded that lights came out of his eyes, mouth, and ears as his scream could almost break heaven's door.
"Rito! Rito, what's wrong!?" Mikan yelled as she ran to the bathroom only to see Rito close the door.
"T-T-There...A girl! Bath!" Rito was still trying to process everything. Mikan took a look.
"What are you talking about? There's no one there." She told him as he looked back and like she said. It was empty.
"Did I really just imagine her?" He asked.
"Rito I know you're at that age but seriously if you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy then I'll be embarrassed as your little sister." She said to him in a teasing manner. After calming down, drying off, getting changed, and eating dinner, Rito headed for his room still wondering about the girl. She was so beautiful and her smile was so pure.
"Maybe I was dreaming all that. There's no way a girl would just pop of a bath." He rationalized as he entered his and there she was again wearing nothing but a towel.
"Hi. I'm just borrowing your towel." She said like it was no big deal.
"AHH! Y-You! So it wasn't a dream!" Rito pointed out.
"Nope. I'm definitely real." She replied as she giggled and smiled at him. "My name is Lala Satanlin Deviluke." She told him.
"La...Lala?" He asked was trying to regain his composure.
"That's right. And I came from planet Deviluke!" She told him.
"Planet Deviluke? Wait would that mean you're an alien?" He asked being more calm now.
"I guess that would be how Earthlings would see me. So yes." She replied. "Just to prove I'm not lying I have something Earthlings don't have!" She said as she turned around bent over and lifted her towel up making Rito blush but then snapped out of it when he saw a tail.
"A tail!?" He yelled as it moved around and still showing her bare exposed butt and womanhood. Rito was steaming like a pot at this point. Lala turned around and noticed his blush.
"And no worries I don't have a true form that I turn into under the light of a full moon." She happily told him.
"O-Oh, I see." Rito replied wondering if this what Saruyama and his father refer to as becoming a man.
"Hihihihi, You're blushing so much it's cute." She told him.
"Why are you naked to begin with?" He asked her.
"Oh that's easy. I used this!" She showed a white bracelet on her right hand. "Pyon-Pyon Warp-kun! An invention I made! It transports anything to any random Location in a short distance but it can't transport clothes." She said.
"The random location and no clothes transportation sound like big flaws already." He told her sounding only half way impressed as she giggled in embarrassment.
"Yeah that's true. I'm still working out the flaws. I used it to get away from my pursuers." She explained.
"Pursuers?"
"Yeah. They're so annoying and persistent. Luckily I gave them the slip." She proudly told him. Just then a knock on the window came. They turned and saw a flying white robot.
"Lala-sama!" It said.
"Ahh! Peke! You found me! I'm glad to see you escaped too!" She told it as she hugged it.
"By the way, Lala-sama. Whose the dumb looking earthling?" Peke asked.
"Watch it tin can or I'll kick you right back outside!" Rito replied in annoyance.
"Oh right, I never asked for your name." Lala told Rito.
"It's Rito. Yuuki Rito." He replied.
"Rito! What a nice name. This is my all purpose costume robot Peke!" She introduced.
"Why all purpose costume robot?" He asked.
"Well he can turn into any outfit for me. Now that Peke is here I can finally have some clothes. You know what to do Peke!" She told him.
"Yes, Lala-sama! Dress form!" Rito watched the whole thing. Feel free to cue the dress form theme lol. This was like watching a magical girl transformation in an anime as Peke wrapped around Lala very tightly as a rope like object then she was enveloped in a bright light where she was now wearing her dress form. (note it's too much detail to describe it. We all know what it looks like if you are already familiar with To love Ru.) "What do you think Rito? Isn't it cool?" She asked.
"Is it too tight, Lala-sama?" Peke asked her. She replied with a no that it was a perfect fit.
"She just looks like she's cosplaying. Kind of embarrassing if you ask me." He said in his thoughts.
"So you weren't followed Peke?" She asked him.
"No, Lala-sama. What will you do now?" He asked.
"Well, now that..." Before she could finish her statement two men in black suits who also had tails jumped in through the open window. "Hey, Peke." Lala looked annoyed now.
"Y-Yes? Lala-sama."
"When I asked you if you were being followed you said you weren't, geez!" Lala went on as she complained to her robot about his mistake.
"I know this looks bad but it's hard to take it seriously when she acts like this." Rito said with a sweat drop effect. The men then took hold of Lala.
"No! Let me go!" Lala yelled as she squirmed and struggled to break free. The noise of jumping was heard in the living room where Mikan looked up.
"What is he doing up there?" She asked as she was reading her magazine. Back in the room Rito reacted from his training the other devilukean tried to knock Rito out but Rito dodged the punch and gave the guy an Axe kick the rolled to his Soccer ball.
"Rito ball Kick!" He yelled as the ball hit the other Devilukean's face and Rito grabbed Lala and started free running from roof to in the neighborhood as he is now carrying Lala bridal style.
"R-Rito, why?" She asked him as she had never been carried like this by anyone.
"Obviously cause you were in trouble. I can't just ignore someone especially a girl whose in danger right in front of me." He replied as he kept running. Lala blushed at his reply and felt his body.
"His arms...their so strong and I feel...safe." She thought. Unbeknownst to them Haruna was walking around with her dog as she noticed noises coming from above her and Saw Rito running with Lala in his arms.
"Yuuki-kun? Who is that girl in his arms?" She asked in her thoughts. Rito kept running till he noted he was at the end.
"Crap I'm out of roofs." He said as he jumped from the roof to the top of a cement wall in front the last house then jumped onto the road and ran to the park till a delivery truck was thrown in front of them. He turned around and saw it was the two Devilukeans from before. "Holy shit. Aliens are really strong aren't they?" he said to himself as he set Lala down. "If you guys want Lala then you're gonna have to go through me. I haven't lost a fight since I was a kid." Rito told them to scare them off but he knew it was pointless.
"Princess Lala enough running away. It's time to return home." One of the Devilukeans said.
"I don't want to! You can't force me to go home!" She yelled.
"Yeah you can't force her to...wait what?" He asked.
"I'm tired of sitting around meeting suitor after suitor! I want to live my own life!" She yelled.
"Princess Lala! Your father is the king of the universe and you must..."
"I don't care what daddy wants! I want to live my own life!" She yelled.
"So she's a runaway and a Princess on top of that!?" Rito said in his thoughts as he thought about her words. "I'm probably gonna regret saying this but..." He in his thoughts as he got in front of Lala. "Okay you two! You heard her! She doesn't want to go meeting random guys her dad thinks will make her happy! You can't expect her to find love like that! She has to be able to live her life outside the castle to experience a lot things before she can settle down with husband! Like making friends at school!" He yelled at them supporting Lala where the two now revealed guards couldn't accept that.
"Rito." She said as she saw they were about to attack. "Let me take care of them." She said as she pulled out a flip phone and pressed a button and out came a machine looking octopus and it was floating in the air.
"Oh, crap it's Princess Lala's invention!" they yelled.
"What is that thing!?" Rito asked obviously confused as to what just happened.
"Go! Go-Go Vaccum-kun! Suck them up!" She order as a powerful wind began to suck everything up and it got more and more powerful with each second. Rito was holding on to a light pull that looks like it was about to get pulled out. "Bad day, bad day, bad day, bad day! Lala! Make it stop!" Rito yelled as he begged her to make it stop.
"Mmmm, How do I make it stop?" Lala asked herself.
"You don't know how!?" Rito yelled at her as he got pulled in to the Vaccum-kun. "WAHHHH!" He yelled as the thing exploded. Nobody died as Rito was returned home with a few bruises and injuries. It was now the next morning and Rito was wearing a few bandages on his face. He figured Lala was probably the one who patched him up. Mikan says she didn't see anyone fitting Lala's description. "I guess she went somewhere else to hide." He said to himself. "She was troublesome but it was actually pretty fun. I wish I coulda talked her into staying longer if she didn't have anywhere else to go." He said in his thoughts.
"Yuuki-kun?" Rito turned around and noticed It was Haruna calling him.
"Oh, Sairenji. Good morning." Rito politely greeted.
"Good morning. Oh my, what happened to your face?" She asked him.
"Well..." Rito didn't really know how to answer that. After all who would believe the fact he was helping an alien princess.
"Who was that girl you were running with last night?" She asked him.
"Girl?" He replied till it hit him. "She saw me!?" He yelled in his thoughts. "Well that was just me helping a friend out." He replied hoping she would believe that for now.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yeah." He told her as he then thought about her Lala again.
"So, she wasn't your girlfriend?" She asked him.
"No, if she was I would probably be something like this if I asked a girl out." Rito did a dramatized performance of how he would probably confess. "I love you! Please go out with me!" Rito yelled with his eyes closed as he bowed. "That's how..." Rito froze at his statement as he Lala was now directly in front of him and Haruna was shocked a girl landed in between them. Lala looked so happy.
"Ahh, I'm so glad you feel the same way Rito! I was thinking of confessing to you too!" She happily replied.
"She came in at the wrong time and now she thinks I confessed to her!?" Rito yelled in his thoughts. Lala then jumped to his left arm and held it lovingly.
"Let's get married Rito!" She proposed as just then Yui walked in and heard that proposal and dropped her school bag as did Haruna and Rito.
"WHAT!?" They all yelled. Rito's simple life had now become days of love troubles. How will he get through these days guess we will all see in due time.
To be continued...
