A/N: Thank you all for reading the last chapter, even after my leave of absence. I hope to able to keep up with things, so you can have enjoyable.. or at least interesting reading material.

I hope you'll be continuing to follow me and that you won't find the following chapters a disappointment.

Viva la Vida Love Hina! We did it - 10 chapters!

Samhan: My exact thoughts. But apparently most don't realise this, as they don't see past his façade. In this though, his girl does like him and I tried making him slightly more.. forceful. Not like the many 'Keitaro grows a spine' stories, but he's more prone to protect the one he loves.

IdiAmeanDada: Haha! You got me laughing there! And no, I was referring to her mother's cooking.

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Hina or any of the characters, Ken Akamatsu does. Damn you! *Raises fist in the air*

Timeline of Love Hina: Keitaro Urashima has already failed twice in his entry exams to get into Tokyo University. Naru hasn't graduated Highschool yet, so she is spending most her time either at school or at her room, studying with Keitaro. Last month they both passed their center exams, after Keitaro had fled, when he failed the mock exam again. It's the 1st of February 1999 and Valentines Day is coming up...

- Next morning: At the Narusegawa residence, In Naru's room -

Keitaro was the first to wake this time. The covers in front of the windows hadn't been pulled back completely, so a small creek caused light to shine on to the young mans face. He woke with a grunting sound and stretching his tired body, making a small yawn. He then stopped in his tracks, feeling an unfamiliar figure lying beside him. He shot his eyes open and stared it awe. There, in-between Naru and he, laid Naru's younger sister Mei.

Apparently Keitaro's movements had disturbed Naru, as she was stirred from her sleep and opened her eyes as well. Seeing a different figure than Keitaro's, got her jumping a little in surprise. But sitting up slightly, she was able to see Keitaro laying beside Mei and her. He had the same kind of look on his face, she was sure she had. A look of mild surprise.

Keitaro didn't get up, he just laid there and smiled up at her. "Morning beautiful." He said, not totally realising his choice of words. Naru felt a warmth grow in her chest and giggled slightly.

Naru leaned in over Mei and quickly kissed Keitaro. "Morning." She smiled and sat back up, gently putting a hand on Mei's head. "Did you see her come in last night?" Naru asked and looked at Keitaro again.

He just shook his head. "No. Do you know why she would come in here?" Keitaro asked and looked at Mei, still asleep beside them. She was actually quite cute and if he didn't know that they weren't blood related, he would almost have thought that they where sisters.

Seeing her cuddled up with them like that, Naru remembered what her parents had discussed with them, at the table last evening. "Keitaro, do you remember last night at dinner, when my mother asked.." Naru trailed off and stiffened in her spot. "Oh no! Was I just about to ask him about ch-children? Ooooh!" Naru blushes. "But.. I guess it wouldn't be too bad.. Argh, what am I thinking?!" She was just about to slap herself, if it wasn't because of Mei suddenly speaking.

"Mama?.. Papa?.." Mei said and rubbed her eyes, before opening them to see a figure sitting beside her.

Hearing Mei say this made Naru blush furiously, but Keitaro didn't change from his confused state. "Though I wouldn't mind it someday.." She thought to herself.

"Sorry, but this is the wrong room, if you were looking for mom and dad." Naru told Mei and chuckled slightly.

Mei just yawned in return and rolled over on her other side, to in return face Keitaro. Naru retracted her hand, when Mei began moving around. Just seeing something that resembled her father, made her advance and cuddle into Keitaro's chest, totally surprising him in the process. She still wasn't quite awake. "Hi Papa." Mei nearly whispered to Keitaro, making the hairs on his neck rise.

"M-Mei?" Keitaro asked with a slight studder, feeling quite nervous. He hadn't dealt with children or other people's siblings before and was unsure of how to react to moment like this. He didn't want to push her off of him, seeing as she was Naru's sister and was practically in family with her already. Besides Naru hadn't punched him for this yet. So he figured it was okay, if he asked her to get up herself, instead of forcing her.

Mei popped up her head, from burying it in his chest and looked up at Keitaro's face again. Realising it wasn't her dad, she turned her head to see Naru again. "Ahhh?!" She exclaimed. But she quickly calmed down again, obviously having remembered something. "I, uhm.. Last night I wanted to see mom and dad.. But then I thought of you two and somehow I ended up here instead." Mei said and blushed a little from embarrassment.

Naru didn't look angry or annoyed at all. In fact, she wasn't either. Instead she just giggled a little and ruffled Mei's hair. "Don't worry, I don't think Keitaro and I minded it much. I hope you slept well." Naru said with a gentle voice.

Keitaro was a little taken aback. He wasn't used to Naru's sweet talk like this. Normally she would be a lot more aggressive and forceful in her voice. Perhaps she was just like this around her sister.. But it wasn't an unpleasant sight to her, so he wasn't complaining.

Mei jumped up and gave Naru a hug. "I did, thank you! Do you think I could come again tonight?" She asked enthusiastically, making Naru and Keitaro blush.

Naru chuckled nervously after her question. "I'm not sure if we're gonna stay over tonight." She replied and saw Mei a bit saddened.

"Aww.. But why?" Mei asked, having hoped to gain another enjoyable evening with the two. Keitaro had sat up as well, stretching his body again.

Naru smiled and replied again. "We promised Keitaro's mother that we'd come and visit today." She set her feet on the ground and slowly rose to her feet.

- After breakfast: At the gate to the Narusegawa residence -

Mei had almost begged them to stay. "Just today." She had said, not wanting to see them go so soon again. Naru promised that they would come to visit again soon, but stressed that they couldn't break their promise with Keitaro's mother.

Naru's parents waved them off at the door, letting them know, they could come again anytime. "We will. We promise!" Naru said, standing right beside Keitaro at the gate to the garden of the house. She held on to his right arm, walking really close to him. Waving one last time, Keitaro and Naru were off to the train station again.

The Narusegawa family had been really kind and accepted him into their family right away. Keitaro felt as if he had a special bond with them, even though he had just met them today. He guessed it was probably just because of Naru, that he felt this way. They were her family and he really wanted to get along with them well. So wishing for a special connection with them, wouldn't be too bad.

Keitaro wasn't sure of how well it would go them at his house. His mother never really approved of his decisions. All he hoped for, was that they would accept Naru. They didn't even have to like her. As long as they would accept, that he had found someone he held dearly and wanted to make a family with, he would be happy. Also, about Kanako, his sister. He knew she wasn't living at home for the time being. Not long after he had moved in at the Hinata, he discovered she had gone off with his grandmother, on her travels around the world. How was he to break the news to her?

Keitaro remembered back when they were kids and they were at the Hinata. He had promised Kanako to marry her one day, so she wouldn't be lonely. Of course they were children's promises, but when he had been reminded of them by her over the phone, Kanako had sounded quite serious about it. He just wanted to reveal it to her gently, without hurting her. But knowing Kanako, she was probably gonna get mad at him, for breaking their promise.

It was just as packed on the train, as it had been yesterday. But they still managed to get seats, without it being too crammed. Naru had held on to him quite tightly, when they entered the train, so not to lose him in the crowd. It wasn't very likely, but she didn't mind holding on to him.

- At the Urashima residence -

Keitaro's parents lived a bit far away, so it took them a good two hours to get there. But Naru hadn't minded. Because as soon as they had settled down in their seats, she began sharing kiss after kiss with Keitaro. This caused some glances from the other passengers, seeing it as improper. Naru didn't mind it. They could think whatever they desired. She had her love and had no intention of letting go of him.

Keitaro didn't mind the attention. In fact, the only issue he had, was that he had a hard time coming up for air. It was more amusing, than a tragedy.

"Huh? Why did you stop?" Naru asked, feeling Keitaro part their kiss.

Keitaro took a breath of air, before replying. "Needed to come up for some air."

Naru smiled and giggled a little. "Silly, use your nose. It's not rocket science." She told him, coming in for the kiss again.

But before she got the chance, Keitaro spoke up again. "Wait, How's my breath?" He asked, even though it obviously didn't matter much to Naru right now.

"Just hush." Naru replied. Keitaro was about to say more, but was cut off by Naru's kiss. "All right.. Mmn." He managed, before being engulfed into another kiss. He had to admit, she was a good kisser.. Or was it just because he loved her so much? Whatever it was, her kisses felt as sweet as cupcakes.

Keitaro's place weren't as fancy from the outside, as at Naru's parents. He knew that his family never really cared for their garden much. It was there and they kept the grass cut, but flowers and decorations wasn't to their liking. Their family lived based on necessity and did not fancy material enjoyment. They were probably even gonna get mad at him, for buying such an expensive engagement ring for Naru. It didn't have diamonds or anything, but it was silver and had cost him quite a bit of money. Of course this didn't matter at all to him, as he cared more for the wearer of the ring and her happiness.

Knocking at the door, Keitaro heard a familiar female's answer from inside. "Coming!" The two could hear her calling from somewhere inside the house. A young woman, with black hair and a long black dress, opened the door.

"Kanako?!" Keitaro exclaimed in surprise, from seeing his sister. He had still expected her to be studying abroad, while traveling with their grandmother. Not to be at home.

Kanako opened the door and jumped from the doorway, to give Keitaro a hug. "Onii-chan!" She said cheerfully, but before she was able reach Keitaro, she was stopped in mid-air by someone coming out from behind him. Naru had come forth and plunged her fist into Kanako, sending her flying backwards.

"Just who the hell are you?!" Naru said, obviously angry about her advancing at her fiancé. She had never met Kanako before, so this was doomed to go wrong.

- Break -

A/N: I had really hoped to get this done yesterday.. but it ended up getting late and I postponed it to today. Meaning I lost another day. Bear with me, I have a full life and want to enjoy my holidays, while still being able to write this.

I hope you enjoyed my little morning special.. I would have liked for something more to happen, but I think I would have stretched it too far, if I had.

Normally you should not show affection or have any loud conversations on trains in Japan. Let me just say, I got the inspiration from the manga (Volume 13).

Can't finish a chapter without Naru punching Kanako at least once.. Sorry, it just seemed like a very opportune moment, to bring in Kanako as well.

My opinion on the Hinata Characters

Kanako Urashima:

A dark tall figure able of spreading chaos and sorrow wherever she goes. It seems like a very good first based-off-the-looks description you get of her. We all know that Kanako just really cares for her brother and sometimes does things, that we see as unacceptable and immoral.

I guess I'm not the biggest fan of Kanako's quite alternative attitude. Meaning, she's unique and I like that, though she can really be a b**** around others. I can see possibilities, in letting her take part in the story. She makes some funny scenarios plausible.

I love her, as I love the rest of the gang. She can be a pain, but to understand her, you must look past her façade. Kanako's troubled and lingers a lot in the past. I do not hate her, I find her interesting and I can somehow see how they're related. All I can say is, don't hate on her for loving her brother.
