Day 1: Evening

After several hours of him being questioned, harassed, interrogated, and scrutinized, Keitaro sat on the steps that led to what was apparently the Hinata Dorm, not the Hinata Inn. While there was practically no-one who believed that Keitaro should run the inn, they eventually conceded that they had no choice but to let him, since it now belonged to him, and Granny Hina had appointed him as the manager. The documents Granny Hina had made were iron-clad, and none of the girls could find any loophole that could get him kicked out, not even the Glasses girl who was apparently studying law. As much as the girls staying there disliked him, all refused to move out, as none of their financial situations allowed them.

Naru joined Keitaro on the steps, and handed Keitaro a file. She leaned up against him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "How're you doing?" She asked.

"I have no idea." He confessed. "How does this stuff happen to me?"

Naru shrugged. "I don't know if this is just bad luck or the universe pulling a prank on you." She said.

"I'm not sure if I can do this Naru, I think everyone in there hates me, but I don't have a choice but to run it."

"You're too nice for your own good, Kei-kun." Naru said. "After all the things you went through, anyone else would just kick'em out." Keitaro nodded. "If you did, I guess we'd have the whole place to ourselves… nobody to worry about, just the two of us alone, not having to worry about anyone walking in on us."

"Naru!"

"Just saying it sounds nice." She said with an impish grin.

"When did you start staying here Naru? Why didn't you call and say you were in the general vicinity? I mean, I think it would have been nice to know that my girlfriend was staying at our childhood inn, and that it had been turned to a girl's dorm."

"Well, I got here about three months ago." She said. "It was about three weeks ago when Granny Hina left, and put Haruka in charge."

"But that doesn't explain why you're here." He told her.

"Well, that's um… would you mind if I didn't talk about it right now Keitaro?" She asked, squirming slightly.

Keitaro sighed. "If you don't want to tell me, then I'm okay with that." He told her.

"Okay. So um, why are you here?" She asked.

"Hey, why should I tell you why I'm here if you won't tell me why you're here?"

"Because I'm the women in the relationship, so just tell me!" She stated firmly.

"Alright…. Well I got into a fight with my parents." He said. "After having failed the entrance exam for Tokyo University twice, they didn't think I had any chance at getting in at all. So when I kept studying they told me I should just give up on my dream."

"And what did Kanako have to say about this?" Naru asked, getting a little angry herself.

"Kanako wasn't there." Keitaro said. "About three weeks ago, she told me that Granny Hina wanted to see her."

"So where is she now?" Naru asked.

"I have no idea. My gut says wherever it is Granny is. Haruka gave me the number to the place Granny Hina is for the moment, so I'll be able to ask her."

"So what happened next?" Naru inquired.

"Well, needless to say I disagreed with my parents, and we got into a big argument. They told me that if I didn't give up on my dream, then I couldn't stay with them any longer. So, I stormed out. I phoned Granny, and left her a message asking if I could stay, and she sent a message telling me I could stay here. And apparently, in order to work around the whole girls dormitory thing, she put me in charge." Keitaro leaned back and sighed. "Do you think she knew that the first day would go this badly?"

"I don't know." Naru said, sitting up on her own. "I can't say I know any of the girls here particularly well, but I can tell you that none of them have a particularly fondness for men." Naru said. "And the fact you had another one of your Keitaro goofs, and a particularly bad one at that made it all worse."

"Alright. Well, let's see who I'm dealing with." Keitaro said, sitting back up and opening the file that contained personal information on all of the tenants.

"I'm actually kind of interested about what Granny Hina had to say about us." Naru said peering over her boyfriend's shoulder. Conveniently enough hers was the entry that Keitaro opened up to first.

It gave some basic information, such as age, birthday, hobbies, hers was listed as studying, and the like, next to a picture of Naru, who was wearing her gray school uniform, and coke-bottle glasses. As he flipped through the pages, he could see each of the girls were pictured with their uniforms on.

Underneath Naru's information was a handwritten note about her.

'A terrible beast of a woman, with a keen mind, and a strong punch, but the emotional maturity of a child, thank goodness that she has my grandson to lean on.'

"Who the hell is she calling a beast of a woman?" Naru demanded.

"You know what Granny Hina's like, there's no making sense of anything she says." Keitaro said, flipping to the next entry.

"Alright, this is the girl that walked in on me in the hot-springs." He said. The picture was of a freckled girl with round glasses, and wavy hair the same color of Naru's. The file said her name was Tamiyo Tatsukata, and that she was 18 years old.

"You know, it's odd that she was the one to walk in on you." Naru said. "We never seem to see her taking a bath with the rest of us."

"Odd."

"She didn't see anything she was supposed to did she?" Naru asked.

"That's what you're worried about?" He asked incredulously.

"Shut up." Naru said, blushing a little. "I get jealous sometimes, remember."

"Yeah." Keitaro read Granny Hina's entry.

'A difficult girl. Possessed of both a vast knowledge, and a keen intellect, she sees fit to use it to direct other's away from her. She is someone who needs a friend, and someone to trust in.'

"That sounds about right." Naru said. "She seems pretty smart, but she always keeps to herself."

"Next is… Saki Aesadi." She was the girl who punched him out in the washing room. She was a girl with short, fiery-red hair, possessed of a short build, and tough strong eyes. She was listed as being 16, and her hobby was boxing.

"Saki, yeah, she always seems to be looking for fights, even with the other girls here." Naru told him. "I don't think she's going to be easy for you to deal with."

'A fiercely independent spirit, her father clearly wanted a son. She has taken up several classes in the art of kicking ass, but has a need to prove herself to others, often violently.'

"Often violently…" Keitaro muttered with a slight shiver.

"Who's next?"

"Koalla Su." Keitaro said. "This is the girl who had exploding toys! Who the heck let her have those?"

"I don't know, to be honest I don't think any of us know much about her. Not even what country she's from."

"So she is a foreigner then." Keitaro said.

"Yeah, what's it say about her?"

Her picture showed her leaning too far into the camera, and giving the worlds largest smile. It stated she was 14, and her hobbies were engineering, eating, and being chaotic.

'A girl with the mind of a genius, yet a great fear of growing up. A boundless container of energy, what she needs more than anything else is stability.'

"Next is Miho and Miko Kurohime. Those are the twins."

"You mean the ones you flashed your manhood to." Naru stated.

"Man, I probably scarred those two for life."

"I don't know about that, those two are odd, we hardly ever see them." Naru said.

"You don't seem too jealous about them." Keitaro noted.

"They're twelve, even I recognize that if I'm jealous of them, then I'm crazy." Naru reasoned.

The two of them shared a picture, in their school uniforms, with bored expressions on their faces. They were both in fact 11, and they didn't have anything listed as a hobby.

'Two girls who have only ever been able to rely on the other. In severe need of friends and love.'

Keitaro flipped to the next file. "Mitsune Konno, why does that- oh my god, it's Kitsune!" Keitaro's eye's bulged when he saw the picture of the mischievous blond in her old school uniform.

"Yeah, actually she and I came here together." Naru said.

"How come you don't tell me these things?" He asked. "Where was she back when I was tied up?"

"Well, I'm telling you now aren't I?" Naru said defending herself.

"She could have helped back through that whole mess! Where was she?"

"Passed out in her room." Naru said.

"Oh…" He said, suddenly quiet. He peaked at her file to see what Granny Hina had to say about her.

'A girl who chooses to enjoy life, coasting by with parties, alcohol, and inflicting her sense of humor upon others.'

"Yeah, that sounds a lot like her. Well, that's one less person I have to… well 'worry' about." Keitaro said. "Next is Motoko-Chan."

"Yeah, how do you two know each other?" Naru said, with an eyebrow raised.

"Well, um remember those two summer's I spent in Kyoto? Well that's when I met her and her sister. She was a lot like Kanako back then."

"Really? I guess I can see it." Naru said. "But really, you got her to call you Keitaro-sama? I've never seen her give a man the time of the day."

"I can imagine, she didn't really like me to begin with, but we eventually became friends." Keitaro told her. "But it was a long time ago, I guess we're both different people now."

"Do you know anything about the whole samurai sword thing, because I've been trying to figure that one out. "

"Oh, well, her family owns a dojo, so it's kinda like how I know how to bake cakes." He said.

"I see. Okay, well, what did Granny Hina have to say about her?" Naru said, peering into the file.

'An emotionally distant person who has thrown herself into training. She is content to let events happen around her so long as they do not affect her. A stubborn individual who has yet to have her beliefs shaken.'

"Hmm that sounds about right." Naru said.

Keitaro turned the to the last page in the file.

"Who's she?" Keitaro asked, not recognizing the picture.

"Oh, that's Hiromi Shimohira-san." Naru said. "She's a police officer trying to become a detective. She's been out so far. You better make a good impression on her, or else I'll be the only protecting that cute butt of yours from everyone else."

Her picture showed a simple woman, with short black hair in a policewoman's uniform. She didn't have any traits that could easily be seen in her picture, she wasn't exuberantly happy like Su, not distant like the Tamiyo, or the twins, and not serious like Motoko or Saki. She just had a normal expression. It stated that her age was 22, and that her hobbies included reading, and solving puzzles.

'A woman with a very strict set of justice. She is a woman of convictions, and once made she follows them through no matter where they may lead.'

"And that's it." Keitaro said closing the file. "Looks like I'm going to have a lot of work ahead of me."

"Hey, you always do great when confronted with problems." Naru said, leaning in to him again. "And besides, you've got me by your side, how can we lose?"

"Thanks Naru." He said, giving her a kiss.

The couple waited outside of the old inn before the steps waiting for Hiromi to show. The two content to stay outside to avoid the other girls, the controversy of Keitaro's arrival had yet to settle down.

"Okay, here she comes." Naru said, to Keitaro when she spotted the woman coming up the stairs. "We'll go together, and I'll talk to her first, and remember, you only have one chance to make a first impression."

"I know." Keitaro said. Both taking a breath, the two stepped out, and greeted the woman who was coming home after a long day.

The sun was low when Hiromi saw the two. "…Naru-san, right?" She said. "Who's that."

"Well, um, actually, we were hoping to talk to you about it." Naru said, with Keitaro standing around nervously. "You know how Granny Hina left a while ago?"

"Yeah. Does that have something to do with him?" Hiromi asked.

"Yeah, this is Keitaro, Keitaro Urashima, Granny Hina's grandson, and she's made him the owner of the Hinata Dorm, and it's manager." Naru told her.

It was do-or-die time. Keitaro was fully prepared to start running again if he had to.

"That's… I'm sorry, why is a guy managing an all girl's Dorm? I mean, that's not illegal, but it sure is strange." She said.

Keitaro breathed a sigh of relief. "Well um, you see I needed a place to stay, because my parents refused to let me stay after I failed to get into the college of my choice." He couldn't help but say 'twice' in his head. "My Grandma said I could stay here. She didn't tell me that she had already left the country, and that the place had been changed into an all-girls dorm since I've last been here. Then I find out she's named me manager."

"Huh… alright, this is weird, but as long as we set up some boundaries, I'm sure we can all work together." Hiromi said.

"Oh thank goodness." Keitaro said, stepping forward so he could shake her hand. Hiromi smiled.

Keitaro tripped over his own feet, and fell on top of Hiromi, who fell to the ground. Keitaro opened his eyes to see that both his hands and his head landed on her chest, and she was severely pissed with him. She kicked him off of him, and grabbed something from her pocket.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry, that was an accident, I swear!" She advanced quickly on him, and let him glimpse her crackling taser gun before stabbing him with it, and rendering him unconscious.

Day 2: Morning

Kitsune stepped into the living room, joining the rest of the girls who were waiting for the new Dorm Manager. She was still a little tired from her partying last night, and had apparently missed one hell of a ruckus. She gauged the abysmal atmosphere in the room, and tried to think how she could turn it to her advantage.

"So, we got a new Dorm Manager?" Kitsune asked, rubbing her eyes. "And it's a guy?"

"Yes." Tamiyo sighed. "He's a pervert who thoroughly assaulted every girl inside this Dorm, so be wary."

"So he's a pervert then?" She asked. 'Which means he'll be easy to manipulate.'

"Isn't that what I just said?" Tamiyo asked.

"Um, hey there everybody." Keitaro said, entering the room, and seeing all of the assembled girls. Kitsune blinked. "I'm the new Manager of the Hinata Dorm, but I guess you all already know that."

"Keitaro, is that you!" Kitsune asked, making sure her eyes were wide open.

"Hey Kitsune." Keitaro said. Most of the other girls sighed. They suspected that since the two were friends that Kitsune'd know Naru's boyfriend.

"You're the new manager?" She asked.

"Yeah…"

Kitsune kept from responding for a second, but soon she fell to the floor laughing, and finding herself unable to stop.

"Hey, please be serious." Keitaro asked.

"Keitaro is in charge of an all-girls dormitory! Oh my god, ha-ha this is rich! This is freaking rich!" Kitsune said, continuing to laugh.

When she was done, Keitaro continued his prepared speech. "My name is Keitaro Urashima. Uh, I know that most of us got to a bad start." He tried not to wilt from all the murderous glares. "But I hope that all of us can start over, and that we can all get along."

The glares did not relent, so he decided to get down to business. "Alright, well um, as for rent-"

"Everybody already knows how the rent system works." Tamiyo sighed.

"Ok then, as for chores-"

"Obviously the Dorm Manager takes care of those." Tamiyo stated. "After all, it is his property, it is his duty to maintain it."

"I guess you're right about that." Keitaro said. "And for use of the hot-springs-"

"Obviously the Hot Springs should be female exclusive." Tamiyo said. "There is only one male here, and several Females, it would be extremely unfair to split the use of the bath, especially since everyone here is already used to the old system."

"Oh, ok then." Keitaro said lamely.

"If that it then, I guess we're done here." Tamiyo said, getting up and leaving, followed by the rest of the girls.

Keitaro sank into the closest chair available, and waited for the girls to leave until only Naru and Kitsune were left.

"Damn that girl is nasty." Naru stated, sitting on top of Keitaro's lap.

"I can't believe that it's you Keitaro." Kitsune stated. "I've been hearing all kinds of horror stories about this lecherous new manager, and then I find out it's you?" Kitsune was still snickering.

"Yes, let's all laugh at Keitaro's misfortune." Naru said.

"Misfortune, he's surrounded by several young woman, and he's in charge of the place their staying." Kitsune composed herself, and looked at Keitaro all doe-eyed. "Manager-san, I'm behind on my payments, and I don't think I have enough money, is there anything I could do?"

"Don't play that card Kitsune, we both know you really are behind on your payments." Naru said.

"Besides all those beautiful women despise my guts." Keitaro said.

"Yeah, but you're Keitaro, you'll have them coming around by the end of the week." Kitsune said.

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling in my gut. I think I've really messed up this time." Keitaro said.

"Well don't worry Kei-kun, you have us to help you through, right Kitsune?" Naru asked.

"Hmm…" Kitsune placed her hands in front of her plotting. "I'm not so sure."

"Oh come on Kitsune, you know what Keitaro's like, he's nothing like what the rest of the girls think."

"Yes, but on the other hand, I know what Keitaro's like." Kitsune pointed out. "He's a clumsy fool who doesn't know how to behave in front of woman."

"Hey!" Keitaro said.

"Hey, that's my fool you're talking about." Naru said.

"Right now? I think I'm seeing the biggest prank in the history of pranks." Kitsune said, with a large maniacal grin.

"Really Kitsune, you're gonna screw us over just get in a few laughs?" Naru said.

"Well, I don't think I'll go that far." Kitsune said. "It'll probably be like always. I'll be here when you need me, but I'll also be hanging around trying to have my own fun."

"Well I think that's all we can ask for." Keitaro said, grateful for Kitsune's equivalent of help.

Day 2: Midday

Keitaro picked up the phone from its handle and debated on what number to dial first. Unbeknownst to him, the girls that passed him in the hallway were listening intently, especially one Tamiyo Tatsukata. After a few minutes of thought, he dialed his home phone number.

"Oh hey mom."

"No, I'm not. Actually, Granny Hina is letting me stay at the Inn."

"Yes I'm going to keep studying."

"Actually, Granny Hina has given me a job here, a paying job, so I'll be just fine."

"I'm sure I can balance my studies and my work mom."

"Actually, Naru's staying here herself."

"Well yeah, I asked her about that, but she wouldn't say why."

"Well I don't know, I'll wait until she tells me."

"Okay how's Dad?"

"Out, okay, what about Kanako then?"

"Um well it's just that I haven't seen her, I thought she might have left to come home and see me, you know. Okay, well nice talking to you."

"Yeah, love you too. Bye." Keitaro pushed the end-call button on the phone. "That was close." He muttered. "Almost got found out."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper that had the number Haruka gave him for the hotel Granny Hina was at, and dialed it.

"… Oh, hello, is there a Hinata Urashima staying at the hotel?" Keitaro asked.

"Oh thanks, put her on." He had to wait a few moments before he heard his grandmothers voice on the phone.

"Granny Hina, it's me Keitaro."

"Yes it's nice to hear from you two, um, Granny, I was wondering… I'm just gonna go and say it. I'm managing an all-girls dorm."

"I'm running an all-girls dorm, because that's what you put in those documents." Keitaro said loudly.

"Yeah, I could leave, but where else would I go, I already told you mom and dad kicked me out."

"Well, what I'm really asking is why?"

"Yeah, but couldn't I stay here without having to manage the place?"

"Wait, so there really is no way for me to not be the manager and work here?"

"Well yeah, if you turned it into an inn, but that would be unfair to the tenants. Ok, so um, why didn't you tell me Naru and Kitsune were here?"

"Naru asked you not to huh?"

"Well I asked her, but she said she didn't want to talk about it, so we didn't."

"Yes I'm okay with that! I trust her enough to tell me when something's important."

"Okay, you might have a small point about that. Hey, why did you turn this place into an all-girls dorm anyway?"

"Oh, okay, I guess those are good reasons."

"Actually, very badly, I think all of the girls hate me."

"Well if they don't, it's very close. You wouldn't believe what happened when I first came in here."

"Actually that's very close. Hey, um by the way, I remember you called for Kanako a while ago, I actually just called home, and Mom said she was still with you."

"Yeah I want to talk to her."

Keitaro had to pull the phone away from his ear, as the 'Onii-chan!' could be heard to most of the girls trying to listen in on his phone conversation.

"Hey Kana-chan." Keitaro said.

"Whoa, wait slow down, I can barely understand you."

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh…"

"I see that's how it is. You'll be staying with Granny Hina until she's finished with her vacation. Any idea how long that will take?"

"Wow, that's gonna be awhile, what about you're schooling?"

"Oh, ok, I guess that takes care of that."

"Well of course you're lonely, but I promise to call you every day."

"Yeah, I guess that might be a problem, maybe I could write you letters."

"Ok, I promise. You'll never guess what's happened since you left."

"Well first, I got in a fight with Mom and Dad. They said I should give up on Tokyo U."

"Kanako calm, now calm down there's nothing you can do from… wherever it is that you are now."

"Oh, that sounds exciting. Anyway they said they wouldn't support me if I kept up my studies for Toudai, so I left, and called Granny, asking if I could stay."

"Kanako that's crazy talk, thinking they were waiting until you left."

"Well I know that Granny's on vacation now... but she didn't tell me back then. Did you know that she turned the place into an all-girls dorm?"

"You did? Well how about this, she's made me the manager."

"That was basically my reaction too, and I don't think any of the girls really like me much here."

"Well it's not all that bad, I got Naru and Kitsune here, turns out they're staying here too."

"I don't know why she didn't tell me, I asked, but she didn't want to talk about it, so we didn't."

"Thank you!"

"I'm not sure if I can run it. Seems like most of the girls here really don't like me."

"Well that's nice of you to say Kanako, but I don't think it will be that easy."

"Well, it seems like it's the only option available to me if I want to get into Todai."

"Okay, bye Kanako."

"I love you too. Bye." With that he hung up the phone, and let out a sigh. He walked down the hallway, and bumped into one of the girls, tripping, and falling on top of them. He found himself staring glasses to glasses with Tamiyo, with one of his hands firmly smushed against her breast.

"Die you pervert!" She said, kicking him off.

"Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

Without even noticing, Motoko and Saki appeared to help deal out some punishment, and to protect Tamiyo.

Today Keitaro Urashima met all of the tenants of the Hinata Dorm, and was given his own personal bath tub.

Authors Note:

Alright, here it is, chapter 2. I was really surprised by the ammount of attention my story got, it drove me to get the new chapter out sooner than I had planned.

Anyway, here we have been introduced to all the OC's, been given a light description, and so forth. Please review, tell me what you think, etc. ect.
