Chapter Four

Jirunai sat in the classroom, he was very intelligent, and had already passed this out come before he had moved College. He stared out the window, it was quite dark due to the storm clouds that where approaching, he had only been in the country a few days, period. His time in America had left him quite experienced in the art of flirting and seducing, the American education system had left him very smart. And he had a cunning that would shock kitsune.

He smiled and looked at his watch [4:05Pm]. He frowned. Another hour of lessons to go, he reached into his bag and pulled out a small box, he opened it and looked inside. Contained within, was a ring, a very pretty ring, a voice from the past rang in his head

"When we grow up... will you make me your bride?"

Jirunai noticed a pair of eyes on him and realised Naru was looking at him. His face showed no reaction to the panic his mind was in, he calmly placed it back into his bag and started to read the book.

An hour later

Jirunai packed his things into his bag, and walked out the door, everyone looked so. Happy, and yet he himself wasn't. He walked out the door whenhe heard a voice calling him, by this time he was out of Todai's grounds and was in a lane.

"Hey! new guy!"

He turned, it was someone he had never seen before.

"Are you weak?"

By all appearances, this was not a nice person, he was roughly 6 foot tall, and muscles the size of a tank. Jirunai stared the guy up and down, not impressed at all.

"I refuse to answer that question" he said.

The bully smiled, "I take it, that's a yes."

Jirunai just frowned, and continued walking. The bully sauntered up to him, and threw a punch at jirunai's face, and in a speed that would have shocked anyone, threw his bag into the air and ducked to the floor. He grinned inwardly, and swept a foot behind the bullies knee's, knocking him to the floor, he pulled his elbow upwards and brought it flying down onto the bully's chest. He backflipped into the air, and landed on his knee, he stood up and grabbed his bag as it fell down.

"Actually that was a no"

He grinned to himself, the bully was doubled up.

"Now what was it you where wanting again??"

The bully wheezed for breath and stood up to his full height and ran at jirunai

"NO ONE DEFEATS ME!!"

Jirunai sweatdropped, and threw his bag into the air again the bully, expecting the same trick again, threw a punch at his stomach, to which Jirunai jumped into the air, up and over the bully, jirunai kicked his foot straight downwards and hit the bully on the head knocking him into the muck, jirunai fell to the ground, landing on his feet laughing.

"Ha! That was fun, been a long time since I've had a somewhat easy fight I guess that being taught the Hanmoken Ryu has it's benefits"

He stopped suddenly and turned to stare at a wall, Naru stood there, looking somewhat fearful, she turned and ran. Jirunai grabbed his bag from mid air, and walked in the opposite direction, the bully staggered to his feet.

"Heh... your good... whats... your name..."

The bully's face had a bruise, and there was blood pouring down it from the top of his head. Jirunai smiled.

"It's jirunai"

"Mine's Mahoro. Pleasure to meet you"

jirunai sighed inwardly "Well, I must be away. I have something to take care off. Make sure to get that wound seen to"

"Will do, take it easy"

Jirunai walked off through the park, leaving the bloodied and muddy Mahoro tending to his wounds. He reached a small fountain and saw that he had some mud on his face.

"Damn, didn't mean to do that..."

He cupped his hands into the water, and splashed some water onto his face.

Jirunai looked around him, there was couple over at a bench, A small blonde girl sitting in a tree, being chased by a girl with a kendo sword. Jirunai watched the girl with the kendo sword and blinked.

"That stance... I know it from somewhere..."

He gasped and took a step backwards "Sh... shinmei ryu! But how?"

The small blonde girl looked at Jirunai, with a look of extreme curiosity on her face, he shrugged and picked up his bag, and walked in the direction of the Hinata sou.

[6:25pm]

LOVE HINA - NOT FOR SALE OR RENT

(Keitaro's POV)

A man of roughly the same age stood at the reception of the hinata sou.

"Uh...... can I help you?"

"Hai, my name is Jirunai, Im a friend of Narusegawa's, Im here to see whether I can hire a room? All the other places in town are rented out, and my relatives are all in America..."

Keitaro looked awkward for a second.

"Erm... uhm..." Keitaro dug into his memory for a second, remembering the pain he suffered when he first joined, and still suffered on occasion.

"I think the other residents should have a say, in the meantime, come on in and have a cup of tea."

Jirunai let his bag swing to behind his back, instead of the strap on his shoulder. He nodded and followed Keitaro.

Keitaro shouted to the other residents to hurry down, Naru came in and looked at Jirunai, quite shocked, Motoko entered and looked at him, she blushed for the briefest of seconds and sat down. Kitsune swung her head in, her sake drinking had started early. She stared at jirunai and then draped her arms across his shoulder shouting "KAWAIIIII!".

Jirunai just stared at Kitsune, blinking incredulously. He shrugged, and sat down, Kaolla jumped in, latching herself to keitaro.

"KEITARO! How would you like to be practice for Mecha-Tama chan the third?"

Keitaro sweatdropped

"Maybe some other time Kaolla, we have something to deal with here"

"Deal with? DELICIOUS!"

Keitaro sighed and Kaolla jumped down to the floor, sitting in her usual cross legged position, staring at jirunai.

"Who's this guy?"

"Well that's the issue, he has no place to stay, and all his relatives are in America, his uncle just moved there today from what I have been told. So he has asked me if he can move in here. As kanrinin, its my decision..."

At this Naru and Motoko developed red aura's and glowered at keitaro, who backed away.

"But... its everyone's home so I thought it best to ask you all."

Their red aura's dissipated. No one wanted to throw the young man out on the street. He seemed nice enough (with the exception of naru, who had already seen his "nasty side") he bowed.

"Please. Just give me one chance. I'll help with cleaning duties, Anything you wish."

Shinobu entered the room and looked around. She stared at the new arrival.

He's just as good looking, if not more, than Urashima-Senpai...

she blushed, and walked over to Motoko and sat down beside her.

Naru turned her direction to keitaro.

"We don't have any spare rooms at the moment, we don't mind him staying... as long as he isn't a pervert like you..."

Naru smiled, looking at keitaro, who had a horrified look on his face

"... but he would have to stay in your room. Is that a problem?"

Motoko nodded her head

"I don't mind him staying either. As long as he stay's in your room"

Keitaro looked deep in thought, and drifted off for a minute.

Having another male staying here would be good. Sometimes guys long for guy company... ((NB. In this fic, keitaro is NOT gay, repeat NOT)) Besides, maybe he could help me work out my relationship with Narusegawa.

Keitaro raised his head.

"That's fine for me. But you will be required to pay for rent, it comes out to roughly 4500 yen per month. This includes your share of the bills, food, gas, electricity, etc etc"

Jirunai, who had remained curiously quiet this whole time, nodded his head.

"Thank you for this opportunity. If it will help, I shall help Keitaro with his job as kanrinin with the cleaning duties also."

Keitaro simply nodded his head, stood up, and walked out. Everyone in the room was silent and eventually dispersed, leaving Jirunai standing in the room by himself. He fidgeted for a second. And let out a small chuckle he hung his bag around his back when a sudden realization struck him.

WHERES KEITAROS ROOOOOOOOOOOOOM?
