Love Hina is owned by Ken Akamatsu

Like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Keitaro woke up very early the next morning in a hospital with a cast on his leg.

'She actually hospitalized me. She said she hated me. Damn it look at my leg how am I supposed to go to Todai now? In a Wheelchair?' he thought.

While he was waiting for someone to look in on him he thought about what Motoko had told him the day before. "When have I ever met a vampire?" he asked the room. There was no answer of course, that would be too weird even by Hina dorms standard.

He waited for about half an hour before a nurse came to check on him. The hospital contacted his aunt immediately after that.

Tsuruko Aoyama put down the phone. Her spies had told her many things over the last month. But the events of yesterday had changed everything. There was finally a chance to prove to the elders that it could be safe for her dear sister to take over the school.

'There is a new moon in a few days. I should wait a month for the next one.' She thought to her self. 'First I need supplies and careful planning. If the plans allowed for me to tease Motoko mercilessly or playing cruel practical jokes on my dear little sister, well what use are little sisters for but to be the plaything of the older sister?'

With that thought she called Shippu to join her and went out shopping for dinner.

Kitsune was sober for once. She was on her bed looking at her ceiling. 'Broken Leg huh?' She thought to her self, 'Damn it was so high up on the leg why couldn't it have been a simple dislocation like we hoped?' An evil grin went across her face. 'Once Motoko calms down we are going to have an inquisition about what exactly she was up to with the manager. I don't believe for a second she was hanging of his arm in fear.' All the old plans are out of the window now.

'Oh well time to get up'

Only the tenants were eating breakfast at the table, as Haruka had been called to the hospital first thing in the morning. The tension was so thick that you could slice it with a knife. Sarah and Kaolla were the only ones talking. Something had to give way soon or else there would be a catastrophic explosion later.

Motoko was the one to give way. "You know," she stated to everyone, "I'm not the one you need to apologies to. He never holds a grudge. I'm sure if you visit him in hospital he would be more than willing to accept an apology."

With that a semblance of normality returned. That was until Kitsune asked "So tell us about your hot date yesterday. We arrived late and were too far away to hear anything. How was it?"

Everyone was staring at Motoko waiting for her answer. "What date? I asked Urashima to accompany me. He did. That was all." She replied genuinely bewildered. 'I asked him to help me see the horror movies then talked with him about the mark on his aura and told him more about vampires. How is that a date?' She asked her self.

Within seconds Motoko was tied up in a chair with one of Kaolla's inventions on her head trying to extract her memories from yesterday. She was screaming bloody murder at everyone until the invention blew up launching her into the hot spring. "AAAAHHHHhhh" There was a big splash. The girls all looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble now.

'So is this what it feels like to be Keitaro?' She thought as she dragged herself out of the spring. She limped back into the dorm and unsheathed her blade. Everyone scattered when she did that. They all stayed out of her way after that as they did not want to be on the receiving end of her sword.

The door to his room opened and his aunt came in "Hello aunt Haru-" THWAK Haruka flicked his forehead.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that?"

"One hundred and thirty two times now."

She glared at him. "So why do you still do it?"

"Because when we were younger you used to hit me and say "Call me aunt Haruka." I could always go back to calling you cuz Haru." He stuck his tongue out at her.

Her mouth twitched, it twitched again, she then broke into a fit of laughter. Keitaro quickly joined her in the laughter.

"Now because some idiot managed to break his leg I can't have my weekly tea and talk with my favorite nephew. How are you going to make this up?" She moaned once they had both calmed down. "Who will entertain me with stories of the antics going on in the dorm?"

Keitaro just chuckled while rubbing the back of his head.

"You know things are going to have to change now. I turned a blind eye before while they didn't hurt you but this is much too far."

A few weeks later we find Keitaro In the ward laying down looking at the ceiling. Naru ran away when he told her he loved her. That was almost two weeks ago. She had yet to return. All the others had come many times. Even Kitsune came at least once a week. Motoko and Shinobu had visited almost every single day. They told him everything that was going on in the dorms.

Still how hard was it to come to the hospital and give him a reply? Haruka who was busy earning a living managed to see him almost every day. If she could take the time out of her life to see him then why couldn't Naru?

He was starting to really think there was no hope that she had no feeling for him.

He looked at the calendar twenty eight of April 'Three more days till I am released. How awkward will it be when I return home?' he though to him self as he fell asleep.

The security guard completely in the hospital was contemplating on getting drunk again. He wanted to forget that incident at the beginning of the month when he was looking at the monitors and saw a large cat walk into the hospital and enter a ward. He had rushed into the hospital any to find the predator sleeping on the same bed as the patient next to him. He must have fallen asleep on duty or something those video files were completely erased it could not have been real.

Haruka opened the door for him "Keitaro!" An Intercontinental Ballistic Mutsumi unbalanced by her watermelons tripped and attached herself to him. It was funny how she always seemed to have those accidents around him but rarely have them any other time when in the dorm.

"Hello Mutsumi, how are you?" He asked as Tama flew over It seemed like he had not seen her in months.

"I've been good." She smiled at him as she detached her self, "Will you be coming with me to class today?"

Keitaro looked at Haruka who shrugged and had a weird expression as if to say "Don't look at me I have no idea what she is high on." He indicated to his leg and said, "I can't get around campus till my cast comes of. Until then I'm stuck in this wheelchair."

Her smile turned into a sad face. "Oh no but you will be missing out on the watermelon juice at the café. They have a special on it today. I have to go now or I'll be late. It was good to see you again Keitaro." With that she left the dorms.

Seriously he wanted to know what she was always high on. Tama landed on his head as Haruka pushed his wheelchair to his room.

"I can never get my head around that girl." Haruka said.

"She does seem to have an interesting direction to her thoughts." He replied dryly. That got another round of laughter from his aunt. He was ahead this week in their ongoing competition.

Not much happened that week he returned. Kitsune got him to have a look at Naru's diary, the girls threw a welcome back party, Naru went to Kyoto with a study group, his mother called and demanded to know why he was not going to classes and ordered him home at the end of October for a family meeting, Motoko's sister visited and Kaolla set the freezer on fire. How she managed to set what was basically a block of ice on fire was a mystery to everyone.

There was the problem of the girls all trying different remedies to help him heal faster. It was like the time he had a cold just after he arrived. Crazy cures and inventions all to make him heal better. All the jostling of his leg and the exploding inventions added a few weeks onto his recovery time.

So the most important event for all the residents that week began when everyone was out. Keitaro was all alone in the dorms. The girls all had classes. Kitsune was doing what ever she did to earn money when not extorting him or trying to sell something to her publishers. Haruka was in her shop.

The doorbell rang. Keitaro wheeled himself over to the door to investigate. "Hello Motoko, Did you forget your key?" He asked before thinking. The woman in front of him was not in a school uniform but was wearing similar clothes to what his friend wore in the dorms. It was an easy mistake to make. She looked like a more mature version of Motoko. "Ah sorry, hello how can I help you?"

"Hello Mr. Urashima, I am Tsuruko Aoyama. I believe my sister is a resident of yours."

Motoko was running through the dark forest from the turtle monsters. The four of them were chasing, no they were hunting her. Their fangs were dripping with venom and she could feel their claws swiping just behind her. No sword attack could harm them only slow them down as they were knocked backwards a small distance.

She looked desperately into the night and felt home. She could see a brick wall ahead of her with a door in it. She ran through the door and came to the bright shoreline of the sandy beach. She turned to face the vile monsters. They stood in front of her and grinned. The sands of the desert stretched for miles around her in all directions, she was alone and terrified.

"Mi miiyu miyu miiii, miyu mi. Miii." The four evils chanted.

"Someone help me, please help." She cried. She knew as soon as both suns set they would attack her.

There was a flash. The hideous abominations were destroyed. Here sister had saved her. Motoko ran to thank her sister, her savior.

Her sister turned towards her. "This is not good Motoko dear," She slashed her sword against the ground opening up a pit full of cats, "you ran away screaming from an enemy as weak as this," another slash shattered Motoko's sword, "You need to be punished." Her sister tied her up with some plants and pushed her into the pit. The cats went insane.

Motoko suddenly woke up with a quiet shriek, a very difficult thing to do. She was in the school library. She had fallen asleep during lunch break while sitting in a sunbeam. "Now that was an ominous dream. Even my sister would never use a manga training method on me."

Tsuruko was very amused with the way Mr. Urashima was trying to avoid looking at her as they shared the hot spring, even though she was covered by her towels. He was such an easy person to bend to her will all that was needed was to get him slightly flustered. He reminded her of a younger version of her husband.

It was interesting getting to know the young man her sister was claiming to be her 'only male friend'. They had spent most of the day talking, him about Motoko's life in the dorms and she about every embarrassing story she could think of concerning her younger sister.

It was time to leave the spring and get some food for lunch. She helped Mr. Urashima up as it was easy of him to stand in the deepest part of the spring with the water buoyancy. Thank heavens for waterproof casts. Unfortunately buoyancy also makes balance hard. She heard of his clumsiness, but it was hard to believe. He landed face first into her breasts. A perfect opportunity, she wrapped her arms around him and said in her most husky voice "Oh how forward of you Mr. Urashima, but how will my dear husband react if he finds out?"

She loved the reaction she got out of the manager. He was so cute when he was flustered.

She knew she would find it interesting when the results of the liquid she was going to spike his shampoo with came into effect.

Naru was sitting in a café in Kyoto eating lunch when she felt that someone was being perverted. She looked around but saw no one doing anything wrong. She shrugged and got on with eating.

Her dream at lunch had troubled her all day. It was almost like a bad premonition but if so what sort of turtle demon was going to attack her and when? She couldn't concentrate on the English lesson at all.

Although she did not notice it many of her groupies were worried about her, she was not behaving as the school idol should.

As soon as Kitsune walked into the dorms she knew something was not right. What was wrong? Keitaro was sitting on the sofa, there was a teapot on the table, some bird was squawking and Tama was miyuing back at it, some beautiful older woman was sitting next to Keitaro. Ah that cut through the alcohol. She went over to Keitaro and put her arm around his shoulder and slurred "Keitaro you ol' dog introduce me to your new girlfriend." She was not sure what was better, his turning red was from embarrassment at her words or him choking on the tea he was drinking when she spoke.

Motoko was getting paranoid now, the whole day had gone past and nothing had happened. But that dream still bothered her. 'How slow can the train be? A snail is faster than this!' she thought to her self.

All the girls were home now and Haruka had closed up for the day. Everyone was talking to Tsuruko. The front door opened and Motoko walked in. She gave the usual greeting "I am back."

"Motoko dear long time no see." Tsuruko said.

Motoko shrieked and backed off into a wall. "SISTER WHY ARE Y-YOU HERE?" Motoko yelled while freaking out.

"I came to take you back."

"WHAT!" everyone yelled.

"B-b-but sister you know I can not r-return until that is resolved."

"Yes it is time to resolve that now Motoko dear." Tsuruko smirked. "Let's go." She started to drag her sister in a similar manner as Motoko dragged Keitaro a few weeks earlier

'Crap crap crap crap crap,' Motoko thought 'Must get out of her grip.' She managed to get loose somehow and sprang into Keitaro's lap. "Sister I do not wish to return home and leave my boyfriend." As soon as she said those words she knew the other resident would rip her apart if she didn't explain herself to them.

"Is that so?" Tsuruko sat down on the sofa again. "I know I won't take you back then." She took a sip of tea. "I'll stay here for a week then to catch up with my sister and get to know her boyfriend instead."

Haruka caught up with Tsuruko while Motoko and Keitaro were dragged or wheeled out of the room by several residents.

Motoko had explained to everyone that her proclamation was all a hoax to let her stay at the dorms. It barley calmed a distraught Shinobu down. At least the girl was no longer crying. They then returned to Tsuruko.

Naru had the urge to punch someone. What was causing it though? Her fist was itching. If only the perverted idiot was around to help her relive her stress. But she didn't want to think about him otherwise she would think about what he said a few weeks ago. 'Best to put it out of mind.' She thought as she composed herself.

Haruka had gone back to her apartment but everyone else was seated around the dinner table. Motoko was between Keitaro and Kaolla, Tsuruko opposite her sister, Kitsune was next to Tsuroko, Shinobu and Sara were at the ends of the table. Tsuruko dominated the conversation.

"So tell me when did you become an official couple?" She asked.

"Well recently Motoko and I started to spend more time together and we grew closer one thing led to another and she asked me out on a date." Keitaro answered.

"Oh?" Tsuruko raised her eyebrow. "Motoko dear have you started to teach Keitaro how to use his sword yet?" Shinobu was not sure why Kitsune snorted at those words while Keitaro and Motoko went red.

After a moment Motoko answered her sister "Ah um no, he is in no condition to start learning sword fighting, his leg is not yet healed."

"Oh? I thought you were a couple for a while. Why did you not start training him before he broke his leg?"

Kitsune came to the rescue with a highly edited version of the 'first date'.

"Keitaro once you have healed you must learn the sword. My dear sister when she was younger always dreamed of being married to a great sword master. All the girls back home thought that was a wonderful dream for her to have." The master of the triple entendre said in a direct to the point voice.

Kitsune choked on her drink with that comment, her drink sprayed everywhere. Shinobu sighed more cleaning to do.

Sleeping arrangements were made. Tsuruko was placed with her sister tonight. As it was the night before a new moon this gave a good reason for Kaolla not to be there. Kaolla was placed with Kitsune for the next few nights.

"Su! Don't drink that! Put those papers down! Oh god don't juggle those bottles." could be heard through the walls.

It had been a long day but it was finally over, there was a knock on his door. 'So maybe the day is not over yet' he thought "Come in."

"Hello Keitaro."

"Mrs. Aoyama, do you need something? Is anything wrong?"

"I thought I asked you to call me Tsuruko not Mrs. Aoyama. I was hopping you would join me and my sister in the hot spring."

"Ah I couldn't intrude on sister bonding time Tsuruko."

"No I insist."

'I'm doomed! Doomed I tell you! I'm going to be sliced into sushi!' he told him self.

Motoko was in the changing room thinking to her self 'Sister ordered me to join her in the spring in half an hour, that time is nearly up. What is she thinking? If someone sees me like this in this form I'll be forced to leave.

Time to go in, I don't want to be late.' She opened the door and climbed into the spring and sat next to her sister. 'Damn it what questions was she going to ask is she going to double check with Urashima before I get to fill him in on my answers? How do I get my self into these messes?'

"My, my I was hopping you would sit with me as you did when you were younger Motoko dear," the voice came from the other side of the spring, "But you can sit with your boyfriend if you wish. I must say your attire is quite bold though."

Motoko looked at her surroundings. Her sister was on the opposite side of the spring wrapped in towels so who was she sitting next to? She turned to see Keitaro pinching his nose looking dead ahead and not at her. She then processed her sisters words and her lack of attire.

'Damn it I can't act shy or she will realize it is a rouse. Mustn't run away, mustn't kill Keitaro.' She quickly thought of a reply and grabbed onto him "Oh sister? I thought it would only be the two of us. No mater though it will be fun to tease him as long as he behaves." She squeezes his arm hard on that last word.

"Oh yes that might be fun should I remove my towels as well then?" Tsuruko asked in an innocent voice. Keitaro froze in panic at that.

'Damn her to hell she is playing with me, no with us.' "Sister you are a married woman you can behave that way with your husband if you wish but not with my boyfriend it would not be proper."

"Of course sister. Keitaro you must forgive Motoko she has always been possessive, even when she was younger she would never share any of her toys with me."

That brought up many unpleasant memories for Motoko "Yet that never hindered your acquisition of them as I recall. Keitaro is not a toy sister please refrain from acquiring him." Motoko was growling at this point.

Tsuruko was amused at the way Motoko was now holding onto Keitaro it practically screamed 'MINE'. "Well yes that is true." Tsuruko conceded. "Keitaro how long have you been aware of Motoko's, how should I say it, medical condition."

"Huh? A few months I think." Keitaro was confused, why would she be talking about that in public? Actually why was Motoko in half cat form inside the springs where anyone could find her?

"Yes sister he is aware of that in fact he has been helping me keep it a secret." Motoko said.

"As expected from any boyfriend that my sister would have. Do not be nervous Keitaro none of the other residents are awake nor will they." She had a nasty grin on her face when she said that. "I have made sure that we will not be disturbed as we require privacy for what I want to talk to you two about. I must ask now Motoko have you had a look at his aura?"

Motoko sighed "Do you speak of the vampire mark sister?"

"Yes, you know what type of vampire mark that is Motoko dear?"

"Is it not just a claim mark?" Keitaro asked? He had plenty of time to get used to the information that Motoko had told him all those weeks ago.

"No Keitaro if only it were that simple." Tsuruko focused on him again. "What do you know about claim marks?"

"Motoko told me that they come in four types, for vampires there is the clam mark that is only used on vampires there is the heart mark that is only used on spouses or their um lovers," he was now blushing, "Ah There is the protection mark for friends and the ownership mark for servants. Um the ownership is also for um protected food sources."

"Motoko dear were you lying to your boyfriend or are you blind? That is the heart mark. He is claimed as a mate to a vampire. Yet you are perusing him."

"What! But I have never even met a vampire how could I have that sort onf mwhak onf hf?" He never got to finish that sentence as his mouth was covered my Motoko' hand to keep the noise down.

"Sister I can not see vampire marks well any more. I can only to see that they are there. Ever since my 'incident' it has been like that. With marks made by those like me I can get to a level of detail that I believe even you could never reach though."

"I see. We will be discussing this further."

After that the conversation moved to lighter things until Tsuruko left the couple in the spring to 'enjoy them selves'. They sat there in silence until Tama landed in the spring. After that Motoko fled in terror.

It was quiet in the dorms no one was awake apart from Tsuruko. She was standing over Keitaro holding an ominous looking bottle.

"I hope your body can withstand my sister's sleeping habits Keitaro," she whispered, "I remember she used to have an intense grip when we were younger."

Tsuruko opened it and tilted the bottle. As soon as the droplets fell from the bottle Tsuruko vanished from the room. A few seconds later a certain younger sister of hers was woken from her sleep by the smell. She rushed from her room following her nose to find the source of the intoxicating smell. She took the most direct rout following the scent via Naru's room and through hole in the floor.

Keitaro woke with a jolt when a frenzied catgirl pounced onto him. Her face was buried in his hair. She held him in a grip that rivaled that of Kaolla. One arm was around his head another around upper back while her legs were wrapped around his lower ribs. At least there were no twisting motions like Kaolla did in her sleep.

He got very little sleep that night as he kept thinking of all the ways he would die. Sword to the crotch, beheading and other nasty punishments came to mind although asphyxiation seemed the most likely method of his demise at this point.

'Who ever said marshmallow heaven was a good way to go? They are idiots it is painful. Who am I kidding? I might as well get as comfortable as possible It's not like I could get away. I just hope my ribs survive.'

Motoko slowly woke from a great nights sleep. She was completely relaxed but something in the back of her mind was niggling at her. Her futon was not usually this warm. It was familiar though. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in Keitaro's room and instantly knew what she was sleeping on. 'Oh god not again.' she thought to her self 'I only wake here when I'm in full cat mode.'. She heard someone clearing their throat and looked over to see her sister, Motoko froze.

"I thought you said he was not in any condition to learn how to use a sword Motoko dear," Tsuruko had a grin on her face "so he should not be in any condition for you to teach him the use of that sword." She said, behind her was Kitsune with her jaw hanging open and eyes wide open. "Perhaps you should release him before you suffocate him." Her sister continued. Motoko finally realized the position she keeping Keitaro in and sprang away.

She saw he was awake but before anyone could say anything the fire alarm went off.

The freezer was destroyed.

All its content had been turned to ash. Kitsune kept going on about the loss of her most expensive bottles something about percentage and how she must kill Su.

Tsuruko helped Shinobu clean the mess left behind and to make breakfast before all the younger girls left for school.

Tsuruko and Kitsune went shopping leaving Keitaro in the tea shop with Haruka.

As soon as they were alone Haruka got Keitaro into a headlock and demanded "Why was I not told of you having a girlfriend? Hmm? What's this about an oh so hot date with Motoko? Details! Spill! Now!"

Keitaro knew he was doomed.

"-oko! Hey Motoko!" Motoko finally heard someone calling her name and turned to see one of her groupies.

"Sorry Sakura my mind was a million miles away."

"You've been distracted all day. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes I have a terminal illness," All her groupies gasped as she said that, "It is called annoying visiting relatives syndrome." They were all staring at her. "Why are you staring at me? It is only my sister visiting, it is not the end of the world."

"But Motoko you almost never make a joke." One of the other groupies said.

"Yes I admit it is rare that I joke, but look at the impact when I do."

The unnamed groupie continued, "You have been dressing less conservatively, you have started to use make up recently and now you are sighing and looking out of the window all the time. I got it! You are in love!" her words caused pandemonium among the groupies and other nearby girls. Motoko wanted to bash her head against her desk.

The day went downhill from there. The rumor of Motoko's so called crush ran through the school like wildfire. All the girls were speculating on what sort of handsome prince could catch her eye. During afternoon break she was pestered by dozens of girls asking about who she was in love with or about boys in general. She wanted to scream. Thank gods the day was almost over. As she was walking out of the gate a voice called her, "Motoko dear shall we walk back together?" No one in the school had ever heard Motoko shriek in fear nor had they ever seen her jump that high.

All the girls commented on how beautiful the Aoyama sisters were especially the older one. The groupies were surrounding them asking all sorts of questions. It was inevitable that the rumors were brought up.

Tsuruko answered with glee "A crush? No as far as I'm aware Motoko only has eyes for her boyfriend. Come Motoko dear we really must depart now." As they left the rumor mill went into overdrive.

As they walked home Tsuruko said "I enjoyed talking to your friends Motoko dear. Perhaps you should bring them home so that they can see you and Keitaro together. They certainly have many questions about him. Seeing the two of you together may answer them."

'My life is officially over. The evil demon woman has ruined my school life. I must not disembowel her, I must not disembowel her. Must remain calm in control.' She thought to her self as they walked home.

As soon as she opened the front door she smelt the divine odor. Her mind shut down as she sprinted to the source of the blissful smell almost trampling Kitsune who was in her way. She found the source and leaped onto it. It was Keitaro, he was taking a bath at the time. As they were both submerged the smell vanished and Motoko was once again in control of her faculties. As they broke the surface of the water she heard her sister say "Motoko dear don't you have any self control?" Tsuruko asked in an exasperated tone while palming her forehead behind her Kitsune was rolling on the floor with laughter. It was too much for her Motoko she ran to her room and locked her self in.

Tsuruko was pleased with the spiked shampoo. It had worked far better than she hoped.

Diner was an exasperating experience. Tsuruko and Kitsine making jokes about how close the loving couple were and how Motoko could not keep her hands of him. Shinobu accidentally snapped a plate in half with her bade hands when she pieced together what had happened.

Once they brought her round she ran to her room crying Motoko had helped clear the dishes away now there was nothing left to do. All her homework was done and she was free to think.

For an hour Motoko was pacing in her room. 'What is happening to me? Twice I have found myself on top of Keitaro in the last two days. I don't even know why! It can not be that they are right. I refuse to believe I have fallen for him.'

It was at that point she started to change into full cat form. Once it was completed she leapt out of her window.

Tsuruko was once again in the Keitaro's room with the bottle over him.

She did not notice the panther until it started to growl at her. "Hello Motoko dear, do not worry this is for your own good." With those words she opened the bottle and let a few drops fall then quickly closed the bottle and hid it.

Keitaro woke instantly when the panther landed on him. He stopped panicking when he heard the growl from the annoyed cat and froze in terror. The next thing he heard almost gave him a heart attack.

"Hello Keitaro."

"Mrs. Aoyama ah I can explain please don't kill me!" He said while waving his one free hand around."

Tsuruko giggled then said "I told you to use my first name. I doubt you could explain why Motoko is on top of you yet again, or can you explain why the two of you have been lying to me for the last two days? I know the two of you are not an item." Keitaro's eyes bulged at that statement. "Don't worry too much. To make up for this you will have to help prove Motoko is ready to take over the dojo. If you fail I will have to ask you to take responsibility for your lie though. A suitable punishment would be marriage to my dear sister." At those words he paled. "Enjoy your night Keitaro and don't do anything that I wouldn't do." She winked and left.

After about half an hour Tama appeared from nowhere. Her miyuing did not seem to disturb the panther as it continued to nuzzle against him. He wondered why that was. Was the panther not afraid of Turtles or was she just oblivious?

Once again he got almost no sleep that night. It was summer and he had what was in effect a heavy warm blanket.

Motoko slowly woke from a great nights sleep. She was completely relaxed but something in the back of her mind was niggling at her. Her futon was warm and hugging her nicely she did not want to get up. Then her brain engaged. She opened her eyes and once again saw that she was in Keitaro's room and the small flying green demon was right next to her. It raised its flipper and said "Mi"

The stress finally caught up with her. Her scream woke up the entire house. Poor Keitaro, he had finally gotten to sleep and was only a few centimeters from the said scream. Tama just flew away to the hotspring to get away from the noise.

A/N This chapter took a lot of work and some major revisions. Let me know what you think. Am I jumping around too much or rushing the story? Is the flow ok? Do I need more dialogue?
