Love Hina: Kenshin the Keeper
Wow, I didn't think I'd start writing this new chapter so soon, maybe I'm just trying to make up for the long period of time it took me to update (sorry about that by the way, I had way too much going on at once). At any rate, by the looks of the reviewers who DID review, this story is going along nicely. I have to say that I was very nervous about the last chapter, introducing a new Rurouni Kenshin character so soon made me think of the possibility of the beginning of the end of my story (doing such things has done worse to other stories...).
However by the looks of it my fears were unfounded, and my latest chapter was a success. Anyway, this will be the conclusion of the last chapter, and the beginning of the Love Hina: Vol. 2 chapters (I forgot to mention, WE'RE ALREADY DONE WITH VOL. 1!!!). Also... I'm guessing you all are very excited for the, inevitable, introduction of Yahiko! Well, he's going to take a while, but I'll give you guy's a good idea of when he's gonna show up. Its going to be in late VOL. 3 of Love Hina.
Also... by a unainimous vote...
KITSUNE AND SANOSUKE WILL BE PAIRED UP!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
Well not that I've gotten that out of my system, and before I do get to this chapter, I must first respond to the people who DID review;
paintball-gamer- Well that was a possibility, but then I thought of how complicated that would make the later chapters, so I just decided that it would be easier, and better, for Sano to be apart of the Hinata Sou Dorm! And on the pairing ideas... there are people you seem to be forgetting, but I will remind you in due time.
Infinite Freedom- Too true, too true. You'll see, and you're right, even in the debt department they are alike.
Raenef the 6th- You'll see who wins...
charles ho- Hey, all of my Rurouni characters past are going to be similar to their cannon forms, but I'll be modernizing them for taste, and for the best results. You know, I was thinking that I made Sanosuke highly OOC while I was writing this, but so far there hasn't been a single person who told me so, so my recollection of the cannon must be pretty accurate. Also, for Rurouni Kenshin I was favoring a SanoxMegumi pairing, but when I made this crossover I thought 'Hey, who else looks like a fox that I know of... hehehehe'. And thank you for bringing that to my attention. And Sanoske will be getting into some fights... but with who I will not say. And no, there will be no female Rurouni Kenshin character, as there is already too much estrogen due to the Love Hina characters.
And now... onto the 9th chapter, and the beginning of Volume 2 of Love Hina: Kenshin the Keeper!!!!!!!!
Chapter 9: Sanosukes, Sus, and Loop Machines, OH MY!!!
Kenshin POV
Manager's/Grounds Keeper's Room
A Few Hours Later
As I began to come to, I found my head spinning slightly. Even with my eyes closed, I felt dizzy and sick... perhaps I took one too many punches from Sanosuke. I opened my eyes, only to be greeted with a spinning room, and also a lit room, hurting my eyes with its light. I tried to move my right arm to block out this light... but it wouldn't move. I slowly looked over to my right arm, to see it in a small cast, with all of the tenants' names on it, and Keitaro's as well.
'I must've broken it when I met Sanosuke-san's fist...' I thought as I turned my head back up to the ceiling. As far as I could tell, only my right arm and my torso were hurting like hell. The reason for saying as far as I could tell, was because of the smell of Sake in the air, meaning that they tried to numb some of the parts of my body. I began sitting up, wincing as each section of my spine bent so that I could sit up. I rubbed my head, to find that some of it was in bandages.
'The fight was far more intense then I thought...' I thought as I got a better look at myself. There was only one type of injury all over my body... but this injury was covering almost all of my torso, I could feel one on my face, and if I guessed right, my arm was probably covered in one... bruises... and lots of them. At this point they were mostly purple... meaning that the fight must've been a few hours ago. A thought suddenly popped into my head... 'Who won?' I thought as I placed my left arm on the floor and began pushing off of it.
As I shakily tried to get to my feet, falling onto my aching rear more then once, the door slid open, revealing Keitaro with some Sake bottles and a bowl with a towel in it. Keitaro practically dropped the items as he saw me and rushed out of the room. "Everyone! He's awake!" I heard Keitaro shout as then what sounded like a stampede began coming towards my room. In the next instant, every single one of the tenants of Hinata Sou stormed into my room, and got all around me.
"Kenshin-san are you alright!?" Naru asked as I tried to tell her.
"Yeah kid, you feeling okay!?" Kitsune asked as I also tried to answer her.
"Oh no I think he lost his voice!" Shinobu said who, after seeing me not put a word in edge-wise, thought I had gone mute.
"OH COOL! THAT MAKES HIM LIKE THOSE KIDS ON THE AFTER SCHOOL SPECIALS ABOUT THE HANDI-CAPPED!" Su shouted as everyone in the room looked at her and sweat dropped.
"Su-chan, not cool." Keitaro said as Su rubbed the back of her head.
"Sorry." Su said as I cleared my throat and everyone looked at me.
"How is Sanosuke-san?" I asked as everyone in the room nearly face-vaulted.
"You mean you can honestly look at yourself, see how badly injured you are, and ask 'how is the guy who beat the crap out of you'!?" Naru shouted as she watched her language, seeing as how Shinobu and Su were there.
"Well... yes, that I am. I mean did I win or did he win?" I asked as everyone froze for a second before I heard someone clear there throat in the entrance to the room. I looked to see, what the most calming sight I had seen.. and yet also one I didn't want to see. I saw Sanosuke, standing in the frame of the sliding door. He had bandages all around him, covering up the cuts I had given him. His knuckles were slightly bruised, very slightly, and he had only a couple bruises and the spot of his body that one could see.
I lowered my head as I saw him. "So... I suppose that means he won correct?" I asked as Sanosuke kept on staring at me before sighing.
"To be completely honest kid... no..." Sanosuke said as he walked over and sat down beside me. I was shocked, did I win... did I really win!?
"Does that mean I beat you?" I asked as he shook his head no. "Wait... then if you didn't win, and I didn't... then who did!?" I asked as he sighed.
"Well it happened like this kid..." Sanosuke said as he looked up at the ceiling, gaining a far away look in his eyes.
Flashback
Sano Pov
I stood there, gasping for breath as I let my fist drop to my side. I had gotten a solid hit on Kenshin as we sent our final blows into each other... however he did the same to me. I put my hand onto the cut that was leaking blood on my side. I had to say, for all the doubt I had about that kid, he did amazingly... but now it was over. I turned around... and was shocked at what I saw. Kenshin, he was still standing, his sword still firm in his grip.
Now I'm not sure what caused what happened next. Maybe the kid's punches were a little stronger then I thought, or maybe because of the lack of blood to my head thanks to it leaving through my cuts... but I fell onto the ground. As I fell I saw Kenshin falling as well... it was a double knock-out.. a tie. As I hit the ground, and went through my last few seconds of consciousness, I saw Kenshin laying there... and there was one thought going through my head.
'He pushed himself that much... to give me a... a home... heh... some kid...' I thought as I passed out due to blood loss.
End Flashback
I told Kenshin all of that... save for the last part... I didn't want anyone to think that I was some girly kinda guy...
Kenshin POV
I was excited, and at the same time disappointed in the result of the fight. I was excited because that meant that Sanosuke wouldn't be leaving quite yet... but it disappointed me because know we would have to do another challenge, and I don't think I would be up for it... I sighed as I looked straight at him. "So what are we going to do now?" I asked as he sighed and tapped his chin.
"I dunno." He said as he continued to tap his chin. "We said that if you won I would stay, and if I won I could do whatever the heck I wanted, so obviously we have to do another challenge." He said as I groaned. All of a sudden he stuck his fist out in front of me and looked at me with a bored expression. "Rock, paper, scissors." He said as everyone in the room face-vaulted. I would have, had I not already been on the floor to begin with.
"You're... serious aren't you?" I asked as he nodded and I smirked as I stook out my left hand, my right arm not being good for much of anything.
"Ready?" We both said at once. "Rock... paper... scissors..." We both chanted as we locked eyes. "SHOOT!" We both shouted as we shot out our hands...
"HA!" I shouted as I brought my fist up. "ROCK BEATS SCISSORS!" I shouted as Sanosuke smirked at me as he withdrew his hand.
"Yep, looks like you won kid." He said as I smirked at him and extended my left hand.
"Welcome to Hinata Sou, Dorm security guard Sanosuke Sagara." I said, more calmly then before. Sanosuke smirked as he took my hand and shook it. I looked up at the tenants, most of them with a slight grimace on their face... but overall I think they were happy. "So Shinobu, did I miss lunch?" I asked as Shinobu shook her head no.
"No Kenshin-kun, in fact I was just starting it." Shinobu said as she ran out of my room and down the stairs.
"Alright then, let's go join her." I said as everyone nodded and help me onto my aching feet.
"You go on ahead, I'll join you soon." Sanosuke said as I nodded and left the room, leaving Sanosuke who began walkng onto the balcony.
Sano POV
I looked out at the noon-time Hinata city from my new home... I smiled as I thought those last two words... this place was my new home.. and I was going to make the best of it now. "I have to admit." I said as I stretched my limbs. "Living here is going to be nice, compared to my last place..." I said out loud as I looked over the city.
"Oh is it?" I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around to see Kitsune standing there smirking at me. "So... you threw that game of rock, papper, scissors didn't you?" She asked as I chuckled.
"How did you guess?" I asked as she scoffed.
"Please, I'm the ultimate gambler, I can always tell when someone throws something." She said as she walked into the room. I raised an eyebrow as I walked towards her.
"Hey, since we're dormies and all now, can I check something?" I asked as she tapped her chin.
"Don't see why not stud." She said as she smirked and I raised an eyebrow. I then smirked as I walked up to her, and poked each of her boobs. She blushed and froze while I began laughing.
"Sorry... just checking to see if they were real hon!" I said as I continued laughing, oh how I do love irony... however I was so busy laughing I didn't notice her shaking her fists.
"WHY YOU..." She said as she drew her right fist up and back, not that I paid it any mind, I was too busy laughing. "PERVERT!" She shouted as she sent her fist screaming into the top of my head, hurdling me into the floor... and actually causing me to go through it to the next floor, which believe it or not led to the dinning room area. I crashed onto the table just as everyone reached the bottom floor, causing it to collapse, and causing a few of the girls to scream a bit.
I looked up to see Kitsune steaming as she stomped out of the room above us. Keitaro ran towards me and looked over me. "Are you okay?" He said as I looked at him as if he was the most idiotic person on Earth.
"Nooo..." I gasped out. "I can't feel my back..." I said as I passed out right on the table.
A Week and a Half Later
Kenshin Pov
Its about December the 10th, and I have to say things have certanly gotten a little more crazy at Hinata Sou with Sanosuke around. The event the day he officially became our body guard, though it hasn't happened again, has reflected badly on Sanosuke's reputation, mostly because Naru and Motoko heard Kitsune say 'pervert' which she almost never does, according to them. So, due to that, Sanosuke is bunking in our room, which is getting pretty full now, especially with his Zanbato taking up a lot of space in its corner (its too heavy for us too hang).
One thing interesting I've learned, and everyone else has learned, is that while Sanosuke is pretty scarry when you look at his size, he's actually kinda nice. Like even with his back practically thrown out by hitting the table, he still, somehow, managed to help us fix the table and the hole in the ceiling. But... that's not to say that he doesn't have his faults either. He's a BIG eater, in fact now I have to go grocery shopping every three days now! Also, he has a bit of an ego... but don't we all have a bit of an ego?
Another thing about Sanosuke is that he is actually pretty strict about his own training regiment. You see after he came to Hinata Sou, to stay, he decided to stop training me saying that 'he didn't need any tough competition' or something like that. Though I was suprised to find that he doesn't train with his Zanbato, he just practices his fighting style, and does extremely rigorous (Hiko would even agree) training excersizes. In fact, one morning I saw him hanging by one hand off the ledge of the waterfall behind Hinata Sou, while the other one had about five fourty-five pound weights on a bar in it.
I swear, things just haven't been normal since Sanoske showed up... but then again, were things ever normal? No, I don't think they ever were, even before Sanosuke showed up things were crazy. But I'm spending too much time focusing on the past couple days. Now then, today Keitaro, Naru, Sanosuke, and myself walking down the halls of Hinata Sou. Naru and Keitaro are going over a quick lesson, while Sanoske and myself stayed back a bit.
"So do they do this often?" Sanosuke asked as I looked at him and shrugged.
"Sort of, they just study a lot. Tokyo U examinations and such, that it is." I said as he kinda sighed.
"Tokyo U, I still can't believe it." He said as I looked at him with an estranged look.
"What do you mean?" I asked as Sanosuke shrugged.
"I dunno... I just got this bad feeling, and trust me, if I feel 'em, then it is bad." Sanosuke said as I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He sighed as he pointed at those two. "Keitaro, no matter how stupid he currently is, appears to be pretty bright, he just has to be taught the right way, but in the short time he's been given... I'm skeptical." He said as he pointed towards Naru. "Now Naru, she's incredibely book smart... however there are going to be questions that just won't challenge your book smarts, some are going to require real world smarts... she's just a little young is all I'm sayin'." He whispered as we continued walking and I tapped my chin.
"How did you come to this conclusion?" I asked as he chuckled under his breath.
"Kid, I've been around just about every block there is, and trust me I know a lot more then people think I do." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of straw and put the end of it between his teeth. I looked at Naru and Keitaro and sighed as I looked back to Sanosuke.
"We're just going to have to hope you're wrong Sanosuke-san." I said as he nodded. We were so entralled by our conversation that we failed to notice that we had caught up with Naru and Keitaro.. and that there was a certain blonde-haired, dark-skinned girl running towards us from the roof.
"HEY RONIN-KUN, RUROUNI-KUN, ZANBATO-KUN!!!" We heard he shout as she jumped up, swung on the railing for extra speed, and then catapulted herself at us, striking Keitaro and myself in the face with her feet, and hitting Sanosuke in his face with her fist. We all hit the wall, and moaned as Su landed on her feet and gave us a quick salut. "So how do you like my salut?" She asked as we all got up... Sanosuke got slightly pissed.
"What the hell was that for!?" He shouted as Naru got the midly shocked look that, by all accounts, should have been used up by Su's kick. "I mean granted I have been less then perfect but what's up with the fu..." He shouted till we jumped up and put our hands over his mouth before he could shatter Su's innocence.
"Easy Sanosuke-san, we all get kicked in the face, Motoko gets the worse of it... calm down." I whispered into his ear as he took a deep breath and calmed down. I let go of his mouth and he looked at Su with his normal calm look.
"Indian chicks are nuts..." He said as he picked the straw up off the floor and put it back in his mouth.
"I ain't no Indian!" She shouted as Keitaro raised an eyebrow.
"Then what are you?" Keitaro asked as she put her finger in front of her mouth.
"Its a secret." She said as Sanosuke sighed and Naru walked up to Su.
"Su, I know that's how you greet people but... do you think you could take it down a notch for Sanosuke-san, since he's new and all." She said as she leaned in to whisper, I didn't hear much but I did hear. "Besides, he looks a little scary." She said as I smirked and Su looked at her a bit confused.
"Why? Does it matter?" She said as she smiled at all three of us. "Besides I really like those three, they're really nice." Su said as I smiled at her, Sanosuke just shrugged, and Keitaro, after hearing about ALL THREE, remained slightly calm, but still had a small blush...
'Weird.' I thought as Motoko came down the hall.
"Urashima-san, Himura-san... Sagara." Motoko said as she came towards in, adding in a but of distaste with Sanosuke's name.
"Hello Motoko-san." I said as Keitaro waved and Sanosuke just stared at her. Motoko walked over to Su who jumped up on her shoulders and began playing with her hair.
"Motoko, why don't you like Zanbato-kun? He's really nice when you get to know him!" Su said as she began pulling on her hair.
"Su!? Stop pulling on my hair!" She shouted as we just kind of stared at her.
"Is it me, or is se always hanging around her... literally." Sanosuke said as Keitaro and myself nodded and Naru just shrugged.
"Yep, that's right." Naru said as she smriked at us. "I guess you could say that she likes Motoko-chan too." Naru said as Motoko suddenly turned around and looked at us.
"Oh yes, you three." She said as Keitaro, Sanosuke, and myself looked at her. "Because of a kendo training camp, I won't be here for the next few days." Motoko said as Su dropped off her shoulders, and looked at her with a blank expression on her face.
"Oh... really?" Keitaro asked as Motoko nodded.
"Please remember to lock up the place while I am away." Motoko said as we all began walking to the front. As she tied her shoes, everyone came to the front to greet her.
"An overnight, co-op camp, I thought only upper school kids had those?" Kitsune asked as Motoko looked at her with a semi dead-pan look.
"I am an upper school kid..." Motoko said as she picked up her boken, and her bag and walked out.
"Good luck!" We all shouted as she just waved goodbye. Su, unlike us, did not shout, but just waved, the same empty look on her face as before. I looked back to see that Kitsune was dragging Shinobu away from the four of us (Su, Keitaro, Sanosuke, and myself) and leaving us there. Keitaro began stretching.. and then I heard and felt something.
"What the?!" Is what I heard, what I felt was something pulling my hair. I looked behind me to see that Su had perched herself on Sanosuke's shoulders, and she was currently tugging on mine and Keitaro's hair. She smiled at us as we looked at her with a nervous grin. I heard Kitsune giggling from the door of Hinata Sou... as we all walked back in... Su still with her grips on us. As we got to the second floor Shinobu stayed on Sanosuke's shoulders... before leaping over and doing a one-handed hand stand on my head, and then leaped over to Keitaro, tied her legs around his shoulders, and hung over backwards.
She then grabbed Sanosuke's arm, and began hanging on it. That was the straw that broke the camels back for Sanosuke. "Su." Sanosuke said as we all stopped and looked at him as he lifted his arm so that he could look Su straight in the eye.
"Yes?" She said as she looked him in the eyes as well.
"Not that I hate having you hanging all over me but..." He said as he picked her up with his other hand. "WILL YOU GET OFF ME!!!!" He shouted as he began shaking his arm, with Su on it, around widly. He stopped for a moment, only to see she was still on there. He then put his foot on her head, and tried to push her off. And when that didn't work, he tried biting her off. Su, in the meantime, was having the time of her life. Sanosuke gasped for a second before staring at her. "She's worse then a dog..." He said as she just smiled at him as she got off.
"Oh please let me stay! I promise I won't bother any of you all!" She shouted as we knew that she WOULD bother us.
"I gotta go train!" Sanosuke shouted as he ran off.
"And I gotta go study!" Keitaro shouted as he ran off.
"And I gotta, damn!" I shouted as they ran off... and I felt something on my back, tugging on my hair.
"Let's play Rurouni-kun!" She shouted as I sighed and smiled.
"So what do you want to play Su-chan?" I asked as she tapped her chin.
"LET'S PLAY PIGGY-BACK RIDE!" She shouted as I chuckled and started running off.
General POV
Naru stood standing there, watching the spot we all stood in. "Jeez... weird..." She said as she started walking to her room.
Kenshin POV
Two Hours Later
I took small steps down the hallway as Su sat on my shoulders shouting and laughing and just having the time of her life. I stopped in place and my legs shook a bit as I collapsed on the floor... now I see why Shinobu and Kitsune ran... Su can run you down, and run you down hard... "THAT WAS FUN! Let's keep going!!!" She shouted as I sighed and lifted her off my back, and onto the floor. "What's wrong Rurouni-kun?" She asked as I looked at her with a small smile.
"I'm sorry Su... I'm just so tired..." I said as I looked at her, she looked like she was about to cry. But... I thought of an idea. "Hey, why don't... you play with... Sanosuke-san." I said as she looked at me with a confused look. "Zanbato-kun?" I said as she smiled and stood up.
"Alright then!" She said as she ran off. "See you later Rurouni-kun!" She shouted as I sighed and began crawling. I made it... to the stairs... fate is so cruel...
Sanoske POV
I was in the woods, I took a large log to a stump in the middle of the forest. I stood there... and slowly started to settle myself... then I lashed out, and I punched the log on the stump with my right fist, shattering it into several pieces. I looked around to see the pieces... "Shit!" I shouted and I slammed my fist into the stump, breaking it into pieces as well. I sat down and looked at the pieces as I tapped my chin. "Dammit... the strength of the punch is too far spread out still... I want it to break the thing in half... not shatter it... how am I going to fix that?" I asked myself as I sat there.
I was so busy thinking I didn't hear the sound of something running towards me... until it was far too late. Su jumped onto my back, and threw her arms around my neck and began swinging on me a little bit. "Su, what are you doing Su!?" I shouted as she kept on hanging.
"Giddy-up mutant horse!!!" She shouted as she kicked me in the hips.
"OUCH! Su you can't do that!" I shouted as she just kept on hanging on.
"GIDDY-UP MUTANT HORSE!!!" She shouted as she kicked me in the hips once again.
"OUCH SU GET OFF OF MY BACK!!!" I shouted as I tried to reach her. "I... can't... reach her... she's on... my freaking back!!!" I shouted as she kept on laughing her ass off.
"GIDDY-UP MUTANT HORSE!!!!! YEEE-HAW!!!" She shouted as she kicked me in the hips again... NOW I'M PISSED OFF!!!
"ALRIGHT YOU WANT ME TO GIDDY-UP!? I'LL GIDDY-UP!!!!" I shouted as I sprinted through out the entire area. I jumped into tress, jumped all around, and even began swinging around the branches of the trees. I got on top of the tallest tree in the area... and dived off it! SHE STILL HUNG ON! And then I grabbed a branch, swung around it several times, and let go of it, swinging me into the forest even deeper... SHE STILL HANGED ON! AND WHAT'S MORE SHE WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO BUST A FREAKIN' GUT!!!
"WEEEEE!!! THIS IS FUN MUTANT HORSE!!!" She shouted as she kicked me in the hips again.
"OUCH!! MAKE IT STOP!!!" I shouted as I continued running, jumping, and doing whatever possible to get her off of me.
Two Hours Later
"Su... get off me..." I gasped out as Su kept on laughing and giggling.
"Giddy-up mutant horse!" She shouted as she kicked me in my, now numb, hips. I couldn't take it anymore... I collapsed onto the ground and I gasped for breath as Su looked over me with a small frown. "What's the matter Zanbato-kun... don't you want to play with me anymore?" She asked as she began tearing up. I looked up at her, and was about to tell her off... until I say something that made me freeze in place... I saw my sister...
"Sano-kun!"
"Let's play Sano-kun!"
"What's wrong with mommy Sano-kun?"
"DON'T LEAVE PLEASE SANO-KUN!"
"I love you Sano-kun..."
All of these early memories of my sister flashed through my eyes as I looked at Su's tearing face... and I wasn't angry at her... damn kid... playing off my memories like this. I smiled at her as I shakily stood up and looked down at her. I ruffled her hair as she began smiling too. "Not right now Su, I'm exhausted..." I said as I tapped my chin. "But hey, how about you go play with Keitaro-san?" I said as she tilted her head to the side. "... Ronin-kun?" I said as she smiled.
"Alright Zanbato-kun!" She shouted as she ran off back to Hinata Sou. I stood there as I watched her run away.
"... Finally..." I muttered as I fell foward. I laid there on the ground for a while before I stood back up and I walked towards Hinata Sou. I was going to get a good few hours of sleep, or I swear that I was going to go crazy. I made it to the stairs... only to find Kenshin trying to crawl up them. "Hey Kenshin." I said as I picked him up and slung him over my shoulder.
"Oh, hi Sanoske-san." He said in a deadpan tone. "How was your time with Su?" He asked as I rubbed my hip.
"Don't ask... hey Kenshin, can I ask you something..." I said as she shrugged, which meant, I guess, go ahead. "How can it be that a thirteen year old, who, as far as we know, has not had ANY kind of formal training, can have more stamina, and can hurt as worse then we can!?" I asked as he just shrugged again.
"How am I supposed to know..." He said as I just sighed.
"I don't know... maybe because... YOU'VE BEEN HEAR FOR WEEKS NOW!" I shouted as he just stayed there. "Kenshin?" I said as I heard him snore. "Great... he's asleep..." I said as I continued carrying him up the nearly endless flights of stairs. We reached our room, I threw Kenshin onto his futon, and then collapsed onto mine... we were there for a good five seconds before we heard a sound that, while not terrifying, did cause me to moan lightly.
Kenshin POV
"I can't study like this!" I heard Keitaro shout as I forced myself awake, only to see Su jumping around the entire room. She was doing so many things at once it was hard to keep up with her... she was on top of the bookcase looking over our room, looking through the bookcase looking for pornos, looking at Keitaro's book of problems, throwing a crate around, eventually throwing it into the closet door, destroying it, and then she began apologizing for the destruction...
"Out of the frying pan..." I said as Sanosuke sighed.
"And into the oven..." He said as he reached into his coat pocket, and pulled out a piece of straw. Then Su did something none of us expected...
"Hey guys..." She said as we all looked at her... and our eyes went to the size of a soup ball. "What's this?" She said as she opened up... a porno, with a bare nacked lady, in all her glory... on the front. "'She softly said, "I love you" "Aahh! Don't... my heart is beating so fast!" And he puts his hand on my breast.'" Su said as she read from the porno magazine. Despite having been exhausted three minutes ago, we all decided that this was too much.
"Su come back here!" I shouted as I sprang up.
"Yeah, get back here you little squirt!" Sanosuke shouted as he jumped up and over.
"Kids can't read that stuff!" Keitaro shouted as the chase began. Su giggled and giggled as she ran around the room, jumping on top of the bookcase, myself following her due to me being the only one close to her size. Then she would crawl under the floor, Sanosuke would tear off pieces of the wood work so that he could try to get to her. Eventually the board above us popped open, and Narusegawa's head lowered from the ceiling and looked at us with an estranged look.
"What are you all doing?" She said as we all froze as we were about to leap on Su. Sanosuke grabbed the porno just in time to keep Naru from seeing it.
"Nothing." We all said as once as Su just smiled. Naru sighed as her head went back up... but then she came down shortly afterwards with some of her books.
"Looks like you guys can't really handle Su that well... so I suppose I'll help." She said as we sighed and thanked her. After a minute of getting set up, Naru and Keitaro got to studying, while Sanosuke and I, now energized by our adrenaline rush, were now practically wide awake. Su was making tea for us, and was giving each of us a cup. We sat quietly for about five minutes... before Su decided to start stirring up trouble again.
"Naru..." Su said as Naru turned around to look at Su. "Look a hidden porno magazine! They're all perverts!" Su shouted as she opened up a porno right in front of Naru, causing her to blush, Keitaro to nearly go through a spasm attack, Sanosuke just stared at it with a slight blush, and I was going through a minor panic attack (with Naru's attitude and all), though it wasn't as bad as Keitaro's. Then Keitaro did something none of us expected...
"ITS SANOSUKE'S!" Keitaro shouted as everyone looked at Sanoske who blushed and looked at Keitaro with an indignant look.
"Why you!" Sanosuke said as he pointed at me. "Well for all we know it could be Kenshin's!" Sanosuke said as everyone looked at me... then something else happened...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" We all began bursting out laughing as we sat there. Naru was laughing so hard she had to take off her glasses to wipe her eyes. Sanosuke was on the floor holding his ribs as he laughed. Keitaro was rolling around on the floor. I was on the ground slamming my fist into it as I laughed. And Su was just giggling her head off, saying something about a funny reaction. We all stopped laughing and we all looked at Sanosuke.
"Now Sanosuke-san, that's rediculous, I wouldn't dare do such a thing... not after... well..." I said as I began fading off.
Flashback
I was sitting at home, just recently recovering from a training session with Hiko... and Hiko was reading this weird magazine with naked girls on it... well a friend, a woman friend of his, walked in, saw the magazines, and started kicking his ass... after he was done playing a game of Operation on the wrong end of the stick, he looked at me with a pained expressions and said something I'll never forget. "Never... start... reading... porn..." He said as he fainted, and I was left with the woman cracking her knuckles... while looking at me...
End Flashback
I faded back, while the others looked at me with wide eyes. "Needless to say she kicked my ass cause she thought I was reading it too, said something about needing to learn a lesson before it was too late for me..." I said as everyone just nodded while staring at me with a 'and how did you grow up to be THIS normal' look.
"Ooookay... let's get back to studying..." Keitaro said as Naru nodded and everyone went back to normal... for a while.. then Su got bored... again... only this time I was grateful that she walked over to Keitaro.
"Ahhh. Getting all embarrassed because someone saw your porno, you're so cute Keitaro!" She said as Naru twitched a bit as Sanosuke raised an eyebrow.
"Here comes the fireworks..." I heard him mutter as I nodded.
"Keitaro-san, could you get Su-chan off of you so we could study?" Naru said, with a little bit of irritation in her voice.
"I'm trying... but she won't let go!" Keitaro shouted as Su looked at him.
"Oh hey Keitaro." Su said as she put a hand to Keitaro's ear. "Is it true that you'be never had a girlfriend?" Su said as Keitaro visibley flinched.
"Wha-wha-what?" Keitaro stammered as Su started getting even closer to him.
"Too, bad... you're hair smells nice... like bananas..." She said as Keitaro kept on blushing, and Naru just kept on twitching. "You're face is smooth... like a girl's!" She said as she rubbed on Keitaro's cheek with her own. Naru continuously twitching and Keitaro was just going nuts. "Oh yeah Keitaro..." She said as she kissed him on the cheek. "Will you be my boyfriend?" She asked as Naru, Keitaro, and myself just stared for a while, and Sanosuke just started clapping.
"Bravo, bravo..." He muttered as the scene continued to unfold.
"KEITARO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Naru shouted as Keitaro just backed up.
"I'M SORRY, I CAN'T CONTROL HER!" Keitaro shouted as Su backed off of him.
"I KNOW THAT, BUT YOU COULD STOP BLUSHING! SHE'S JUST A KID!!!!" She shouted as Su started giggling.
"WELL LOOK WHO'S TALKIN'!" Keitaro shouted we both Sanoske and myself began laughing along with Su.
"Darn looks like Naru-chan got here first! Oh well!" Su shouted as Naru and Keitaro just stared at her, their entire faces turning red as they began splathering out jibberish. Now at this point Sanoske and myself were rolling on the ground again, and Su was just having a ball. "And Rurouni-kun and Zanbato-kun are so fun, LET'S DO IT THIS WAY THEN!!!" She shouted as she grouped hugged Keitaro, Naru, Sanosuke, and myself and brought us together in one giant hug, crushing us together.
"The five of us can be a couple!" She said as she tightened the hug slightly. "I like all of you!" She said as Keitaro's and Naru's faces were getting very close and Sanosuke and I were trying to get out of Su's hold before the fireworks went off on us. But, thankfully, Naru and Keitaro found the strength to get us all out of Su's grip, and for the next few seconds they were speaking gibberish... and then Su went crazy...
An Hour Later
As Sanosuke and I once again went for trying to capture Su, after failing for the 29th time, Keitaro and Naru sat at their table, whispering at each other to see if they could come up with some kind of plan of action. After a while Naru just sighed and looked at all of us. "I think I'll go to bed now..." Naru sighed as we heard the sound of something being buttoned. We all looked to see Su getting dressed up in night clothes. "Su... what are you doing..." Naru said as we all stared at her for several moments.
"I'm sleeping here with Rurouni-kun, Zanbato-kun, and Ronin-kun!" Su shouted as we all stared at her with wide eyes.
And for the first time in a while we all saw Naru's EXTREMELY violent side resurface... scaring many of us... "NOOO!!!!" She shouted as Su just looked at her with a pleading look.
"I can't sleep without someone beside me... besides Motoko was always with me..." Su said as she gave Naru the puppy dog eyes... five minutes later we were all in the room with our night clothes on, including Naru.
"What are you doing in her Naru-san?" Keitaro asked as Naru sighed.
"I'm just being safe is all..." She said as suddenly a pillow was thrown into her face. We all looked to see Su, throwing pillows at all of us...
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Su shouted as she started flinging pillows at all of us.
"Alright, now this is my kind of sleepover!" Sanosuke said as he picked up about five pillows and began throwing them at all of us. I caught the two that were meant for me, and fired them at Naru and Keitaro, who looked at me with shocked looks.
"Kenshin-san! Why did you do that?!" They both shouted as I picked up more pillows.
"All's fair in love and pillowfights!" I shouted as I threw pillows at Su and Sanosuke, and Naru and Keitaro joined into the pillow fight. About a half hour later Keitaro was gasping for breath and Naru was barely standing as Sanosuke, Su, and myself continued fighting.
"How can they go for so long?" Keitaro asked as Naru just shrugged. In the next instant all of the fighting stopped and Sanoske and I even began taking some deep breathes.
"Wow, you're all pretty good!" She shouted as we all just stared at her. She began giggling as she rubbed the back of her head. "Being with you all reminds me of being with my family back home! Today is my happiest day since coming to Japan!" She shouted as she smiled and we all stared at her for a moment... wondering what exactly she meant by that.
"So... what are we going to do about who is going to sleep where tonight?" Keitaro said as Sanoske just sighed.
"I'll sleep next to Su tonight..." He sighed out as Naru glared at him. "Oh come on! Who do you trust more? A teenager who's probably just entering puberty, a nine-teen year old who hasn't had a girlfriend his entire life, or a twenty-five year old who actually has his act together?" He asked as we all thought about it for a second before Naru sighed.
"Fine... but if you try anything funny..." Naru said as she grabbed a pillow, and punched it, causing all of the feathers to blow out of the pillow. Sanosuke mearly nodded before going over to his futon and laying down, all of us following him, except we were going to our own futons. We turned off the lights and, suprisingly, we all fell alseep without Su going ballistic on us.
Sanoske POV
About an Hour Later
I laid on the futon, not quite asleep, but not fully awake. I don't know why I wasn't falling asleep, but maybe it had to do with the little Indian girl who was currently crushing my spine. I finally fell asleep... only to be awaken by the most painful squeeze thus far, it even made me grunt out loud... which proved to be my partial undoing. "I saw that punk..." I heard a voice say as I looked over and saw Naru standing over me cracking her knuckles... with flames shooting up from behind her... as I was about to take up my defense... we heard something that very well saved my life.
"Onii-san..." We heard Su mutter in her sleep as we looked down at her. "Onii-san..." We heard her mutter again as I looked at her with a slightly softened look. I rubbed her hair as I looked at her.
"Poor kid..." I said as Naru nodded. "Having to live on her own at such a young age." I said as I looked at Naru, and thought of the other tenants of Hinata Sou. "Heh. Looks like there are a lot of girls like that around here..." I said as I kept on petting her.
"You seem to be handling her really well..." Naru said as I nodded... then Su squeezed me again. I gritted my teeth as that fit fell as well.
"Yeah, believe it or not I have a little sister who used to be like her..." I said as I stopped petting her head.
"Used to be?" Naru asked as I nodded.
"Yeah... before I left her she was the brightest ray of sunshine I had ever seen. She was practically just as energetic as Su..." I said as I continued petting her.
"Before you left?" Naru asked as I nodded.
"You may not have guessed it... hehe... but my family wasn't exactly the most functional one..." I said as Naru chuckled a bit and nodded. "My mother was pregnant with my little brother when it happened. I was sent of to foster care because... well we simply couldn't support three children... so I was sent off..." I said as I gazed off... which ended as soon as Su squeezed me again. When she was done I sighed and continued. "The day I left... she just seemed different..." I said as I smirked. "So to answer you, the reason I can handle her well is because I went through the this same stuff already..." I said as suddenly it felt like I was being crushed by a ton of weight.
"Onii-san... I can't eat so many... bananas." Su muttered as I gritted my teeth. She let go again, but I kept my teeth together.
"Are you okay!? Naru said as she looked at me... and I glared at her...
"Nooo..." I gasped out. "Its been a long time... since a little girl... broke my back..." I gasped out as the room started spinning... I looked at Naru and gasped... "Has your hair always been orange?" I asked as I passed out.
General POV
Naru looked over Sanosuke with widened eyes and smirked. "Heh, he's a pretty lovable lug... when you get over the entire 'freakin' giant' thing." She said as she went back to bed. "Maybe Kenshin-san was right, he's a pretty okay guy." She said as she fell asleep once again.
Kenshin POV
I began waking up in the morning, feeling refreshed and revitalized. I sat up and stretched myself out with a big smile on my face. I yawned as I looked around, Naru was sleeping soundly, Keitaro was fast asleep while spread out over his futon. I looked at Sanosuke... and shear and utter fear entered my soul. "SANOSUKE-SAN!!" I shouted as Naru and Keitaro shot up... only to be met with the same horrifying sight. Sanosuke... was awake... but he had purple marks stretching out from under Su's arms. His eyes were even rolled into the back of his head... and foam was coming out of his mouth.
"SANOSUKE-SAN!!!" We all shouted as we ran to him, checking his pulse.
"He's alive... but we have to help him!" Naru shouted as we all nodded... and I ran to get the bandages, and Keitaro and Naru tried to get Su off of Sanosuke... only to fail over and over again.
An Hour Later
We all sat in the living room, his torso covered in bandages... and Su was even more energetic then before. "We sure had fun playing and sleeping together last night!" Su shouted as we all just sighed, and groaned. "Can I sleep at your room tonight Naru-chan?" Su asked as Naru grimaced and Sanosuke began reaching for the door.
"Motoko... please come back... I'm begging you... I can't take this anymore..." Sanosuke said as suddenly the door busted open and a storm blew in, and Motoko came in soaked and wet.
"We tried waiting out the storm... but it didn't look like it was going to stop so we canceled the trip..." Motoko said as Sanosuke jumped up.
"THANK YOU!!!" He shouted as he suddenly passed out, and Su began poking him and Motoko stared at him with a dead-pan look.
"Did I miss something?" Motoko asked as Naru, Keitaro, and I face vaulted into the ground.
OMAKE (Okay this isn't actually an Omake, you see I wanted to put this scene in, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought 'This deserves to be an Omake'. So here's an actual OUT TAKE!!!)
Kenshin POV
We were all sitting around Sanosuke, Sanosuke drinking some of the Sake I had made for him, while everyone was just keeping an eye on him. He took a drink and suddenly a thought popped into my head. "Hey Sanosuke-san, have you ever gone out with a girl?" I asked as we all looked at him. He looked at all of us and sighed as he put the glass of Sake to the side.
"Well... I have one story to tell... but for it to be good I'd need a looping machine." Sanosuke said as we stared at him for a moment before Su dashed out of the room, and ran back in with this stereo-looking device and placed it in front of Sanosuke and smiled. "... Well now then... I guess I can tell you the story now..." Sanosuke said as he cleared his throat and looked at us all in the eye. "Now then, please don't kill me in the end..." He said as we all sweat dropped.
"Well it all started off in a bar... you see I met this girl... and we both were drinking heavily... lots of Sake..." Sanosuke said as I rubbed the bridge of my nose. "(Sigh) So she was drunk and she invited me to her apartment... and I was drunk and I accepted her invitation..." He said as the older guys and myself were sweating. "And eventually... it started going..." He said as he hit the record button on the stereo. "Whow whow, whakawhow whakawhow whakawhow." He said as he hit the record button again... but then hit the one of the play buttons right after it so that afterwards it would keep on playing.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
It kept on going as Sanosuke bobbed his head back and forth. "Then it started getting even more interesting... it started going..." Sanoske said as he went for the record button again. "Kuh kuh, kuhkekeke kekeke kekeke." He said as he hit the record button, and hit another play button.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
Kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke...
The loop kept on playing as Sanosuke kept on head bobbing. "Then it started getting really heavy..." He said as he hit the record button again. "Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh." He panted out as he hit the record button again, and hit play right after that.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
Kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke...
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh... huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh...
The loop kept on playing as now everyone was freakin' blushing. But Sanosuke kept on going with the head bobbing. "But then... I was like... " He said as he hit the record button again. "Oh yeah." He said in a slightly deeper voice, which right after recording hit he hit play.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
Kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke...
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh... huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh...
...Oh yeah... oh yeah!
But then he looked up and sighed... "But then she started crying... and I couldn't go on while she was crying..." He said as he suddenly stopped the music loop, and the girls sighed a sigh of relief. "So I went into her kitchen and got some ice cream... but it was the best damn ice cream I'd ever had!" He said as everyone blankly stared at him. "It was like... sex cream!" He said as the girls stared at him. "And I was like..." He said as he hit play and began rubbing his belly.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
Kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke...
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh... huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh...
...Oh yeah... oh yeah!
Slowly but surely... we all ran for the living room... away from Sanosuke.
Sano POV
"Hey, where are you all going?" I said as I watched them all run. I just sighed and shrugged my shoulders as I looked at the bottle of Sake. I took another deep drink of the good old alchohol and looked at it. "Wow, Kenshin's pretty good at making Sake... this is great Sake!" I said as I took another drink. "This isn't Sake... this is... Sexe!" I shouted as I hit the play button and continued drinking.
Whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow, whow whow, whakawhowwhow whakawhow whakawhow
Kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke... kuh kuh, kuh kekeke kekeke...
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh... huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, huh...
...Oh yeah... oh yeah!
