Chapter 3: Big little sisters to the rescue
The moon is up
A red moon
At the middle of the night Sara wakes up feeling thirsty. She is staying at Shinobu's room. Groggily with half closed eyes she leaves for the kitchen.
Being the youngest, the rest of girls still treat her as a little girl. Despite her age Sara is mature. She recognizes when the girls go overboard being stupid with their antics. Especially when it comes to Keitaro. She'll never admit it that she likes him. Every one of the girls did Naru, Shinobu, Motoko, Kitsune, Mutsumi, Kanako and even Su.
The notion of going after him is too stupid for her. But other than Seta, Keitaro is the only guy she looks up to. She finds girls her age boring and boys are really just brats. Since she came to Hinata Sou years ago it has been nothing but fun. Sure torturing Keitaro a little was fun but there is no malice in it. It's just Sara's way of endearing herself to him. It's just so out character for her to cry like Shinobu over him. She was appalled when Kanako also pegged her as smitten by Keitaro. She doesn't want to get involved in the tug of war over him when clearly Naru has won his heart. She will always be a kid to Keitaro so why bother confessing. For now that is.
When I grow up I'll tell him and we'll laugh it off as silly childhood crush.
Suddenly Sara's half lit eyes took notice of something.
Outside near the hot spring two persons kissing.
Deep kissing
Keitaro and Naru
Sara quickly hides herself
Thump Thump Thump her heart beats.
Wha… Wha… What the heck do those two think their doing!
Disgusting didn't they even think there is minor living here!
Why…Why does it hurt?
Sara tries to stop from crying.
"Ummm stop lets take breather hah hah" Naru disentangling herself from Keitaro
"Um Yeah" says Keitaro panting too
"You know we never did thank Sara" said Naru to her lover
"What do you mean?" asks Keitaro
"You do have a problem with your memory don't you? Remember when she took us in that island with the shipwreck?" Naru says
"Oh yeah we had a misunderstanding back then because of my friends" says Keitaro scratching his head
I couldn't recall their names though thought Keitaro.
"If it wasn't for Sara we wouldn't have been back at good terms" says Keitaro
"Also we would have never had our first kiss!" Says Naru
Naru kisses Keitaro again.
They enter again a deep kiss.
I'm… I'm responsible for them being together!
The idea is too overwhelming for Sara. Sara runs unnoticed by Keitaro and Naru.
Tears flows down over her cheeks.
Running down the hall until she bumps into … Su!
Adult Su looks more mature and grown up in a native Mol Mol dress a beautiful princess.
Sara bawls over crying on Su.
"Don't you worry Onee-chan is here" Su comforting Sara holding her tight
While in the shadows too figures watch Motoko and Kanako.
Their hearts go out for the little girl.
Meanwhile at Mahora Girls Domitory Negi Springfield dreams
Two little children playing pirates buries a Liddo-kun time capsule in the sandbox.
A two year old red haired boy and the other a blond four year old girl play inside it.
"You know what I believe your grandma when she said Hinata has magic to make dreams come true. How bout we make a promise just like my mama did with papa" said the cute blond girl with a cap
She kisses Negi's lips .
"Eh? Why?" Negi blushes with embarrassment.
"Why? Why not besides you kissed me first at that scary place!" said the little girl
"It was an accident. You were the one who wanted to look at those secret passages it wasn't my fault our faces bumped to each other." Negi defended
The little girl giggled
"When you kissed me there it's like magic I was wondering if would happen again oh well" said the little girl
"Ok I promise to meet you here when we grow up get our treasure and fulfill our dreams together here at Hinata" said Negi
"Really! You'll never forget right?" She hugs Negi
"Never I promise" said Negi
I wish I can stay with you but Grandpa Stan said we will return home tomorrow.
"Umm I have to tell you something …" said Negi
"Negi! Come here! You too little miss." Said an old woman
"Grandma!" both shouted hyperactively going to the old woman
Standing far back is Negi's Grandpa Stan.
With somber expression on her face she places her hands on the foreheads of both children
"I'm sorry but this is for your own good you two must decide for yourselves who you really like. Magic should not dictate who you should end up with" says the old woman
Suddenly the woman performs an incantation.
"Grandma Wait I made a promise…" says Negi thinks a mantra not lose his memory
Hinata…Hinata…Hinata I'll meet you at…
Asuna smacks Negi with a pillow
"Hey Wake up Negi" says Asuna
"Eh?" says a grogy Negi
"You're talking in your sleep your not having a perverted dream are you? Who is this Hinata? We don't anyone named Hinata at school." Says his student and roommate.
"What the heck you're talking about!" says Negi
Not recalling the dream once again forgetting that memory of his promise girl.
The Hinata war council location the Attic, Hinata Sou
Koalla Su
Motoko Aoyama
Kanako Urashima
Shinobu Meehara
Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno
Mutsumi Otohime
Naru Narusegawa
And
Keitaro Urashima
"Yawn, its so early why did you guys call for a meeting" asks Kitsune who despite living at the Tea House below Hinata Sou is still called such meetings.
"Will this take long I have to get to the airport my sister is arriving today from America" says Naru referring to Mei her stepsister
"It's Sara she has it." Says Su
"Whoa that's news" says Kitsume
"Ara Ara oh my" says Mutsumi
"Auuu this is too much our little Sara growing up" says teary eyed Shinobu
"What! Keitaroooo" Naru looks with deadly intent on Keitaro
"What did I do now!" Keitaro trembling with fear
"Keitaro you better be responsible" says Motoko
"Brother I was right Sara is also in love with you but it would seem she keeps her feelings bottled up. She has given up without a fight. Unlike the rest of us she never did have the chance really get close to you. She is probably jealous of the time each of us spent with you. " says Kanako
"What!" Keitaro, Naru and Shinobu simultaneous say
"Wha…Wha" Keitaro on information overload
"Come to think of it could it because Keitaro resembles Seta too much that Keitaro in her eyes is the type of guy she would fancy" Says Kitsune
"An Electra complex?" asks Naru thinking it over
"Yeah" says Kitsune agreeing with Naru's assessment
"Ara Sara just wants Keitaro's happiness" says Mutsumi somewhat an authority on giving up on Keitaro but still liking him
"Auuu poor Sara" says Shinobu Sara was almost her age when she started to like Keitaro
"Ahem I Keitaro Urashima will solve this" says Keitaro smiling recovered from the shock
"What are you going to do about it?" asks Naru
"I'll treat her out to Kanagawa Neverland" says Keitaro
The rest of the girls dumbfounded
"Yeah it could work! Be a big brother to Sara that way she gets the attention she wants from you" Says Su
"It might work!" said both Motoko and Kanako agreeing with Su being all of them little sisters.
"Sorry Narusegawa guess I can't go with you today to greet Mei" Keitaro apologizes remembering the docile girl who can be as a handful as Sara when she wants to.
"No take care of Sara little sisters get cranky when their siblings ignore them" says Naru
Recalling the drama she and Keitaro had when Mei signed up for the student foreign exchange program just to make Naru return home. Fortunately Keitaro mended Naru's and Mei's relationship. Naru and Mei now sends each other a letter every week.
"Oh yeah Keitaro why not bring her to mini-photo booth at Kanagawa Neverland. She is the only one not in your sticker collection. Sara may want a memory of this." Says Naru
"Memory of what?" Sara appearing out of nowhere shocking the girls.
"Sara how bout I play big brother to for you today! " Says Keitaro
"Eh?" Sara says dumbfounded
Authors Comments:
For Negima fans yes Mei as in Sakura Mei mage in training, Mahora middle school sophomore, foreign exchange student to Johnson Magic School in America is Naru's stepsister.
Kisses Sushi-y
Thanks for clarifying Mei's Foreign exchange student status.
Sad neither Negi nor Sara couldn't recall their promise. Grandma Hina had to do it.
