A Different Start
Chapter 10
Everyone gathered in front of the altar beside the beach. The hinata girls were dressed beautifully as bridesmaids in peach colored dresses. Kitsune was trying to hold a serious look on her face but was failing miserably. Shinobu was in the brink of tears while her hands where in front of her mouth. Kaolla was quiet and not running around energetically. Motoko was stoic but was glaring at someone. Naru, well she was still trying to understand the situation.
Suddenly the sound of the organ playing the wedding march sounded in their ears. Keitaro was sweating bullets as he stood at the altar, dressed in a very well fitting tuxedo. He looked at a white arc indicating where the bride would be appearing. Moment passed and then the bride had appeared.
Natsumi sat with her children in a row, age ranged from a teen to a small two years old. The mother of eight (I know they're all supposed to be kids but I like it this way) was wiping her eyes with a Kleenex as she muttered something about her 'baby's grown up'. Yes Otohime Mutsumi was to wed Urashima Keitaro.
Dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown and a veil covering her face, the bride strode down towards the altar. She walked lightly as she held the small bouquet of flowers near her heart. Finally she reached the altar and Keitaro entwined his arms with hers and faced the priest.
"We are gathered here today to…" the priest has started the ceremony. Keitaro was sweating hard from what was happening. How could have it escalated to this, they were having fun earlier in the beach and now he was getting married with his childhood friend.
He tuned out the priest's words and remembered the earlier events that lead to this ceremony of matrimony. It will change into his funeral if he doesn't figure out a way out of this soon.
"Why me kami-sama, why me…" he groaned inwardly.

The Hinata gang was happy playing at the sandy beaches now that they have found their manager and fellow tenant. The group decided to spend another day just to relax a bit before going back to Hinata, they should at least have some fun before going back home right.
Certainly the girls were eye catchers in the beach. Guys couldn't help but stare at the curves and beauty possessed by the hinata gang. Shinobu and Kaolla had captured many with their cuteness factor. Motoko and Naru caught the guy's eyes with their nice size bosom and curves. Of course Kitsune and Mutsumi snag most of the male populace attention with their rather large bust size. Companied with the two piece swimsuit they wore, a single swing of their hip made some men faint from blood loss.
And where was the male manager that was supposed to be guarding his tenants. Well he stayed under the nice shade of their large parasol away from the hot sun. He lay on a blanket, his arms crossed under his head and black tinted sunglasses instead of his normal eye ware. Wearing blue trunks and a floral beach shirt Keitaro relaxed breathing in the ocean air.
"This is nice… I guess I could spend just a little more time here before going back to work." Keitaro thought.
A few girls passing him by giggled while glancing at him. "Yup just a little while more before going back"
Kaolla and Shinobu were in the water splashing at each other. The tanned blonde wore a yellow swimsuit and Shinobu sported a purple one. Motoko was with Naru watching the girls from the shore sat on a lone beach towel. Many men would have tried to talk to them if Motoko didn't reach her sword beside her when guys approached them.
The raven haired woman wore a one piece light blue swimsuit and tried to cover up her lower part with a white towel. Naru wore a white two piece, feeling a bit daring. Both women had their hair tied up in a pony tail letting a few strands stray framing their faces making their beauty more alluring. The men opted just to stare at them from a far some courageous enough tried to talk to them but ended up at the deep ends of the waters.
The two older women, on the other hand received the guy's attention warmly. Kitsune entertained a few men, flirting a little just for fun. Dressed in a skimpy green two piece she was a real 'vixen'. Poor guys couldn't take much of her allure that a simple wink made them unconscious from a massive nosebleed. Others lay unconscious because of the goddess of a smile Mutsumi had that she flashed at them innocently, instantly sending them to heaven. The goddess, er, Mutsumi wore an orange pair and had a flower decorated towel that covered her long legs.
Yup the girls were quite a group in the bright beach. Jiru was with them after he was invited. He was just about to open his shop before the gang showed up, thinking that a little break from work would do him good he accepted the offer. He walked back to their spot carrying a six pack for him and Keitaro to enjoy. Dressed in green trunks and a Hawaiian shirt covered his lean torso.
"Here bud…" Jiru handed Keitaro a can while taking a seat beside the young man. Keitaro sat up and took the offered can and popped it open then took a sip to quench his building thirst. Thanks to his experience in Kyoto, Keitaro acquired a bit of a taste for alcohol. He sighed contently and took off his glasses.
"Thanks Jiru-san." Keitaro said looking at the man who was popping open a can of his own to drink.
"You ain't gonna join the girls?' Jiru asked the young man who was quietly enjoying his beer.
"Nah…don't feel like getting wet yet. Besides Naru and Motoko are there and I don't want to have any accidents." Keitaro replied eyeing the said pair watching over the younger girls.
"I see… well how about you go with me for some babe hunting huh?" Jiru said with a familiar glint in his eyes. Yes, familiar, Keitaro had seen that look in his friend's eyes before. He has seen it in his two friends and even with his sensei. The look of pure determination in getting a girl was present in Jiru's eyes.
"I don't know...?" He then saw a pair of beautiful girls wearing skimpy two piece bathing suits. One of the girls with long hair glanced at him and winked. Keitaro instantly blushed and the girl giggled at his reaction. The young man momentarily shut down his common sense and answered the older man and now sporting the same perverted…er, determined look.
"Let's go." He said flatly full of confidence and excitement. Jiru grinned at his new found friend and wrapped an arm over Keitaro's shoulder.
"Alright!" Jiru happily exclaimed.
5815456123156132135153123132
Keitaro and Jiru had walked off to a more populated area of the beach. The Hinata girls had attracted most of the men at the other side of the beach so many girls were available for them. There were still some men but they were all with their girlfriend, and they pretty much don't have the balls to piss them off or else they won't have any literally.
Even though Keitaro and Jiru left the girls to fend off for their selves they knew they were safe with Motoko and Naru there. Also Kitsune knows how to take care of men who gets too frisky with her. A quick jab to the gut or a kick to the jewels always works for her anyway.
So the two men were now scanning the beach for some beautiful babes. Jiru had pulled Keitaro towards a pair of women near the water. One had long black hair reaching to her waist and wore a white lace bathing suit which left little to the imagination. The other had shoulder length red hair and wore a black two piece that was as alluring as the other woman wore. Both wore sunglasses that hid their eyes from the bright sun.
"Hey there ladies…" Jiru greeted the women with his best impersonation of Casanova that made him sound like he was trying too hard. Keitaro who was very determined a moment ago just kept quite beside Jiru like most of the time when his friends drag him to go babe hunting.
One with the long hair looked up at Jiru and pulled down her glasses to reveal her olivine eyes. She gazed at Jiru smiling at her and then at Keitaro keeping quiet and looked kinda embarrassed.
"What have I got myself into? What was I thinking agreeing to go with Jiru-san, wait I wasn't thinking, jeez, I don't know how to pick up girls! Most of the girls back at Tokyo-U would just always start the conversation. I couldn't have even talked with them if they didn't start the conversation…Also every time I do something like this bad things happen…well to Haitani and Shirai mostly but I get in trouble also anyway." Keitaro thought.
Keitaro whom was busy arguing with himself felt Jiru nudge his side. He looked at the older man questioningly. Jiru only tilted his head towards the woman that was looking at him. Keitaro shifted his gaze towards her and studied her looks for a minute. He didn't know why but he felt he knew the woman from somewhere. Finally when the woman spoke he recognized the beauty and didn't want to be there anymore.
"Hey there Keitaro-kun nice to see yah." She said pulling off her sunglasses and looking at him straight in the eye.
Keitaro gulped audibly and stuttered a reply, "H-hey there sensei nice to see you." He replied shakily. "Well umm…nice seeing you, uh uhm I'll be going now." Keitaro said sheepishly and tried to walk away but was stopped by the other woman who had instantly latched on his right arm.
"Keitaro-kun! I didn't expect to see you here!" The girl said happily and her soft bosom pressed themselves on the young mans arm. Keitaro turned bright red instantly from the contact of the soft warm objects.
"N-Nanami-san h-hi uhm…n-nice to see you again, mind letting me go please." He asked the young girl who looked at him cutely.
"Keitaro-kun, I haven't seen you for so long." She said with a pout that made Keitaro lose his resolve to get away quick. He just wanted to get out of there and be back at where the girls were.
"So Keitaro-kun. Seta-san with you?" The long haired woman asked as she stood up and faced him and then looked around as if she would see the lanky professor nearby.
"N-no Chiyo-sensei, He's back at the academy doing some work. I'm just taking a break and will be helping him soon." He replied nervously.
"Ahhh…too bad I wanted to let him see my bathing suit. It's cute isn't it?" She asked posing a bit giving Keitaro a nice view of her curve. If he didn't restrained himself he would have fainted already and will be needing blood transfusion.
"Y-yeah…too bad." He replied blushing madly trying to look away.
"Hey Keitaro-kun, mines cute too right." Nanami said detaching herself from the young man and struck a pose to let a little cleavage show. Keitaro trying to be a gentleman quickly turned his head and nodded. His face became even a brighter red and tried to think something else other than melons.
"Hey Keitaro-kun, you know these gorgeous gals?" Jiru asked who had just recovered from the surprise. Keitaro kept surprising him seeming to know so many beautiful women that made him wonder why he didn't have a girl friend. He thought maybe he swings the other way but he saw Keitaro stared at the woman with a hint of lust that proved he was straight..
"Ah…yeah…Jiru-san I'd like you to meet Chiyo-sensei, she was my teacher in world history in my freshman years." He introduced and then indicated Nanami "Nanami-san, is my classmate when I was a freshman." Nanami waved to Jiru and the older man nodded.
"Nice to meet you." Jiru said to the two beauties. Jiru tried to act like a gentleman but it was hard to tear his gaze away from the curves the teacher had. Maybe she would give him some 'special lessons' later. Jiru then developed a small trickle of blood coming from his nose which Keitaro noticed.
"Ah, Jiru-san your nose is bleeding." Keitaro said shaking the man out of his little dream and quickly wiped the blood away with his arm.
"Must be the heat…" said Jiru a bit flushed. The two women were giving him a worried look getting a nosebleed suddenly.
"Ah..well uhm… nice to see you guys again but we need to go." Keitaro said trying to go. He didn't want things to get complicated. Nanami is a, beautiful, and smart girl but she was too friendly with him for his own comfort. Even though she already has a fiancé, because of her parents, she incessantly flirts with him. He doesn't know if she really likes him or just trying to keep her mind of the arranged marriage business.
Also the beautiful teacher Chiyo was another problem of his. She was nice and real good teacher but she's head over heels for Seta and always asks him to set the two of them up. He had set them up few occasion but being that his mentor was as dense at him. Seta never got the hint thinking they were just friendly outings between colleagues. Leading to Chiyo asking him about how to get his attention and stuff that Keitaro didn't know or wanted to answer.
"But Keitaro-kun, how about keeping us company." Nanami asked sweetly closing in on him leaning forward while looking him in the eye.
"ah..uhmm…well you see, we-I, ah need to check if my friends are okay I left them back there and I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on them." He stuttered. Nanami looked at him leaning even closer her lips in a pout and her eyes glazed making her look very cute. Keitaro was trying very hard not to cave in. Even with all the flirting with Kitsune he still couldn't' handle Nanami. She just had that unique touch fo sweetness that can make him lose his senses.
"Hey Keitaro where are you?" A loud energetic voice boomed making Keitaro look to where it came from. To his horror he saw the Hinata gang coming his way. It seems that they got fed up with all the men that had swarmed to them and left the other side of the beach. He could tell that Naru and Motoko were not in a good mood as Naru has develop a twitch on his brow and Motoko was gripping her sword tightly ready to lash out.
Some brave men were still tailing the women but kept their distance as how they saw some guys fly to the far ends of the water.
Nanami looked at who had called Keitaro and saw the group. She scanned them and frowned when she saw cute young girls.
"So that's why he wanted to go so badly. Then why did he approached us earlier…maybe he got dragged by that guy, he always lets people do that. But that's what I like about him, he always thinks of his friends." Nanami thought.
Su had spotted Keitaro and dashed to him. She jumped up and tackled him, only he didn't fell down and only wobbled a bit. Kaolla had latched on to his torso and was rubbing her cheeks to his like a cat. Nanami raised a brow at the scene and evaluated the tanned blonde girl.
"Hey Keitaro where did you go, you disappeared suddenly." Kaolla asked him.
"Ahh…well I thought me and Jiru could go around the beach to see the place." He lied praying it was good enough. He had set down Kaolla on the ground as she was heavy to carry. If Naru or Motoko had learned he was babe hunting, he would need to jump into the sea and start swimming away from them as fast as he could.
It's not like they had a relationship, both girls would rather drown in the waters than say something like that. To them it was simple, Keitaro plus girl equals perverted-ness that needs to be punished.
By now the whole gang was there at the spot and Naru and Motoko didn't fail to notice the women at present. Keitaro introduced the girls one by one. He didn't notice the glare Nanami sent Mutsumi who didn't noticed or just chose to ignore it. He explained that he had become the manager of an all girls dormitory because of his grandma which the two understood. He also introduced Chiyo and Nanami, to his horror Nanami latched on to his arm when he introduced her.
Naru and Motoko looked at him expecting an explanation fast, before they unleash a world of hurt on him. Shinobu mumbled something behind her hands while coming to the verge of tears. Kitsune gave him a wink and smirked, she loved watching him squirm, she found it cute.
"Urashima you have till the count of ten…" Motoko said griping her sword.
"One." Naru started the count down. Nanami and Chiyo didn't know what was happening. Jiru now know what that means and feared for his friend.
"Ah well you see… LOOK A FLYING TURTLE!" he yelled out pointing in random a direction. The group looked at the direction and to their surprise along with Keitaro, there indeed was a yellow skinned shell covered reptile floated in the air.
All jaws dropped as they stared at the floating turtle.
"…"
"…"
"Eh.?" Keitaro made a sound."Tama-chan?"
"Am I seeing this or has the sun just fried my brains." Kitsune asked while looking at Tama.
"Well I'm seeing it too and I can't believe it either." Naru replied still in shock.
The turtle then looked at the group and 'myu-ed' at them. She floated toward them and she flew to Mutsumi who caught her and gave her a hug. The group was again surprise by what happened and looked at Mutsumi with disbelief. The okinawan didn't show any sign of being surprised by a flying turtle.
"Tama-chan I haven't seen you in a while how are you." Mutsumi cooed while petting the yellow skinned turtle.
"You know that thing?" Naru asked.
"Yes, she's my friend Tama-chan. isn't she cute." Mutsumi said while holding out the little reptile for everyone to see.
"I didn't know she could fly?" Keitaro said.
It took a moment, but the group had recovered from the shock and admitted that the little turtle was kinda cute. They ignored the issue of her flying as they didn't want to hurt their head from thinking too hard under the sun.
The girls crowded the little turtle except one raven haired kendo girl. Motoko stood stiff as board and was pale. She was mumbling something and trembled. The group noticed this and worried. They crowded her and Tama in Mutsumi's hand chirped and raised a flipper to Motoko.
This in turn made Motoko look at the little turtle before…
"WAHHHHH!! TURTLE!! DEMON!" the raven haired woman screamed and flailed her arms about that startled everyone, Mutsumi stumbled back and tripped. Keitaro tried to come to her rescue but miscalculated and the two made a head on collision. Both person collided head first at each other.
Keitaro and Mutsumi fell down; Keitaro had swirls for eyes same as Mutsumi. The group quickly scrambled and helped their fallen manager and friend to a near by shaded area.

Keitaro finally had regained consciousness and opened his eyes slowly. They were taken to the town clinic and Keitaro was put on a bed. His vision was met by brown eyes staring into his. Keitaro was startled and rolled away then fell to the floor. He groaned and rubbed his now sore posterior he looked up to see Mutsumi giggling like a little girl. Keitaro looked at her skeptically and then stood up to see the others looking at him worried. Nanami had approached him rather quickly placing a hand on his forehead and asked how he was feeling and how old was he which confused the heck out of him.
"Keitaro-kun how old are you?" Nanami asked seriously looking him straight in the eyes. Keitaro was confused by the question but still answered.
"Twenty, why do you ask?" Nanami sighed in relief when he answered along with the others making him more confused than ever.
"Will someone tell me what happened and that made you suddenly had interest in my age?' Keitaro asked group.
"Well…" Naru started to speak but Kitsune beat her to it.
"You see hun, you and Mutsumi-san hit each others head and well your childhood friend seem to have become a child again." Kitsune said. Keitaro raised an eyebrow and looked at the others unbelieving.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Keitaro asked and looked at Mutsumi who was acting strange
"It's simple really…" A bald old man with a metal shiny disk on his forehead dressed in a doctor's gown came out from nowhere that startled Keitaro making him jump a few feet.
"You see the head injury your friend sustained cause her brain to reset to her childhood memories. She reverted back to childhood in her mind thinking she's still a five year old. Don't worry about it she'll grow up eventually I mean get her present memory back.." The doctor explained.
"How long will it take for her to…uh, go back to her present age?" Keitaro asked who looked worried about Mutsumi.
"About a day, a week, a month or a year, I am not quite sure when, but eventually she'll go back to being normal." The doctor replied turning to Keitaro who was now gaping like a fish.
"A-a year! Oh no this is my fault! I have to help her get back to normal I can't leave her like this!" Keitaro thought.
"Doctor can't we do something to let her recover faster?" Keitaro asked.
"Well you could stimulate her mind by playing along for a while speeding up the process. It's just a guess but it's worth a shot." The doctor said cleaning up his things. Natsumi had arrived and came quickly to her daughter enveloping her in a hug.
"Hi mommy!" Mutsumi cried out childishly and Natsumi smiled.
"Thank goodness you alright. I thought something bad had happened to you when they called me." Natsumi said.
"Uhmm…Otohime-san well you see…" Keitaro spoke deciding it was his fault that Mutsumi got hurt and needed to explain. So Keitaro did explained and whole thing and after he finished Natsumi was silent. The older Otohime stood up from her seat silently and out the door.
After a few minutes she came back in still silent and Keitaro gulped. Then suddenly the whole family came bursting inside the clinic. Keitaro was about to wet himself seeing the whole family there. They would probably hurt him because he injured their sister. Keitaro glanced at each one of them and looked at what they held. To his surprise they were holding…dresses and child products?
"Oh Mu-chan this is so great!" Natsumi squealed while she hugged her daughter. The whole gang sweat dropped.
"I missed taking care of Mu-chan since she's all grown up. Now that she's a child again, well technically anyway, I can take care of her again." Natsumi said while holding different dresses.
Again the non relatives sweat dropped from the mother's reaction.
581894231984124653
As the Doctor suggested Keitaro played along with Mutsumi. She was dressed in a childish style white dress and had her hair braided into two ponytails. Mutsumi seemed to have reverted back to the time she met Keitaro at Hinata-sou. Mutsumi was quite energetic even though her body should be bit weak. Keitaro learned from Natsumi that Mutsumi was quite healthy when she was young but became weak when she reached her teenaged years.
Mutsumi kept dragging Keitaro around. The Hinata girls plus one, Nanami,kept tailing the pair, watching them from a distance. Mutsumi made Keitaro play house, dressed up (Kitsune was having a field day getting so much blackmail material) and picnicking. Mutsumi had dragged Keitaro off into the island and set up their picnic at a green top hill. Naru had come along saying she needed to keep an eye on Keitaro.
The three sat on the picnic blanket laid on the grassy hill. A basket full of food set at the side. Mutsumi was talking with Keitaro laughing with each other. Naru looked at the two with a weird feeling that was forming at the pit of her stomach.
"Alright let's play house again. I'll be mommy and Kei-chan will be the daddy." Mutsumi said.
'Alright." Keitaro agreed thinking it was harmless enough. What could happen in playing something as harmless as House. "Honey I'm home!'
"Welcome home darling. What would you like to do first? Take a bath or dinner?" Mutsumi asked sweetly.
"Bath." Keitaro then felt a demonic aura from behind. Of course the source of the frightening aura was Naru.
"Did I say bath? I meant dinner, yeah dinner would be nice." Keitaro said trembling a bit. Keitaro then was being choked by large piece of watermelon that Mutsumi tried to stuff down his throat.
From the distance the girls were having different kind of reactions. Shinobu was feeling jealous that her sempai was having fun with someone. She wanted to play house with him too, offering to take care of him. Shinobu thought of Keitaro would come home she would greet him and then he would sweep her off her feet and lay her in bed and other things that includes whip cream and a whip… Where did the girl get those ideas?
Kaolla was a bit like Shinobu being jealous but because Keitaro was playing with somebody and she was not invited. Kaolla was pouting muttering something in molmolian. Kitsune was having a blast getting blackmail material; she would be teasing Keitaro for months. Motoko was a bit indifferent with the situation. Nanami who had tag along with them was fuming.
"That little, I'm the one who should be making Keitaro all flustered and see his cute face! I'm sure that woman is just acting sick! "She thought silently watching.
"Uhm… Kei-kun who is that person?" Mutsumi asked pointing at Naru. It seemed at Mutsumi's memory was reset to when she hadn't met Naru yet.
"What should I do she won't recognized me because I'm an adult now?" Naru thought then saw Natsumi walked towards them holding another basket of food. "Right!"
Naru ran up to Natsumi and grabbed her hand and said "Natsumi-san I need some help." and disappeared.
Naru then reappeared dressed in a Kindergarten uniform complete with yellow cap and a pacifier. How she got a kindergarten uniform her size we will never know. Those lolicon bastards must be jumping for joy now.
"Goo goo ga ga!" Naru tried to talk baby-talk.
"Narusegawa-san what are you doing dressed like that! Have you gone loony also?" Keitaro said terrified of needing to take care of two adult/children.
"Baka I'm trying to help!"
"Na-chan!" Mutsumi glomped Naru.
"Kei-chan isn't it great Na-chan's here! Now the three of us are together again just like before!" Mutsumi said happily.
"See, her memory has already progressed." Naru said.
"Well you're right." Keitaro agreed.
4545456456456456465
The three childhood friends started to stroll around. Naru was getting a piggy back ride from Keitaro as that how it was back then when they played. Naru being frail as a child got tired easily and Keitaro was the one who carried her around.
"Isn't this nice it's like were a real family." Mutsumi commented happily smiling.
"Yeah, you really look nice honey." Keitaro said.
"How flattering." Mutsumi replied.
Naru then bonked Keitaro on the head lightly;" You're enjoying this aren't you!" Keitaro could only reply with a light chuckle. Naru then climbed down Keitaro.
"Ara something the matter Na-chan? Maybe you're hungry?" Mutsumi then pulled up her dressed and tried to breast feed Naru. Keitaro immediately went flying backwards from a massive nosebleed when he saw Mutsumi lift her dress.
"Gaa gaa! (No no )" Naru said frantically she shook her head.
"Maybe you need a diaper changed?" Mutsumi said and laid down Naru and changed her panty with a diaper. Naru's face was ablaze from the humiliation she experienced. Kitsune was jumping for joy a few meters away with the material she got from Naru. It was A+ blackmail material baby. Keitaro laughed on the ground when he saw Naru in a diaper.
"Why you!" Naru then started chasing Keitaro around until she tackled him down the ground. Naru was ontop of Keitaro and sported a blush as she lay on top of him. Naru quickly stood up from her position and dusted her dress. She also whacked Keitaro upside the head lightly.
"Baka…" she muttered softly.
"Ara ara na-chan you shouldn't pout. Your body's frail you mustn't strain yourself. " Mutsumi said.
"Oh Yeah, Actually I'm feeling quite dizzy…" Naru promptly fell down. Keitaro quickly came to her aid and the Hinata gang plus one rushed out from the bushes to help also.
8946875413521321
Naru dreamed peacefully in her sleep. She was back in Hinata and she was a child. She walked down the corridors looking for someone.
"Kei-kun, Mu-chan where are you?' She called out dressed in a yukata.
Naru then found them playing in a sand box talking to each other about the Toudai promise.
"Promise Kei-kun." Mutsumi kissed Keitaro on the cheek.
"I want to go too. Please Mu-chan, Kei-chan." She ran to them but she tripped. The young images of Keitaro and Mutsumi then stood up from the sandbox and started to walk away from her. Naru called out to them but they didn't stop.
"KEI-KUN, MU-CHAN!" Naru screamed tears in her eyes.
Naru's eyes snapped open. She was in a room tucked inside a bed. She looked around and saw Mutsumi watching over her.
"I told you Na-chan you're body is frail so you shouldn't be tiring yourself." Mutsumi said then promptly slumped and fell forward Naru quickly caught her and called out for help. Mutsumi was very worried over Naru and tire herself worrying about her.
The doctor form earlier was back and examined Mutsumi. He explained her condition and said she wouldn't survive the night.
"It would seem that her psyche couldn't comprehend the instantaneous changed of her adolescent to her pre adolescent form causing her to get sick." The doctor explained.
"Then what could we do?" Keitaro asked worried about his friend. It was his fault so he needs to help her.
"Well there is possible way to save her. In most cases when the patient can achieve bliss something like fulfilling them a wish, they will recover immediately." The doctor explained. Mutsumi then shifted in her bed and was now awake. Keitaro quickly moved to her side to check on her.
"Mutsumi …" Keitaro said softly.
"Kei-kun…" She rasped out smiling at the young man.
"Yes ? what is it?" Keitaro listened intently to her.
"...I.."
"Yes?"
"...I-I Want you to take me as your Bride!?" She exclaimed and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Oh…is that all, alri- Wait What!" Keitaro's eyes bugged out!
"Then you won't" Mutsumi sniffed her eye cutely glazed over with tears. Keitaro stuttered not knowing what to do in the situation. He can't marry her and that would be taking advantage of her. He wanted to help her not this!
"Don't worry, when she recovers she'll lose all her present memory and will be back to normal again." The doctor reassured him holding his shoulder.
"But.." He looked at Naru asking her what to do?
"Do need to help her." Naru said answering Keitaro's silent question.
Keitaro looked at the doctor then back to Mutsumi.
"Alright Mu-chan I will marry you." Keitaro agreed shocking the girls.
"Really!? Yatta!" The girls just looked at the two with mixed feeling. They know he was doing this to help his friend but they still couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Naru looked away when she saw the two looked...right for each other.
58412386513245612321
"…Keitaro do you take Mutsumi to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked getting Keitaro attention and out from his reverie.
"I-I do!" He answered.
The Hinata girls as bridesmaids were really feeling mixed feelings about this event. They know it was only pretend but still.
"This isn't real. Don't worry no need to bash the perverted lowlife Keitaro" Naru said to herself as she trembled watching the exchange of vows between her two childhood friends.
"If anyone object to the joining of this two please say it now or forever hold you peace." The priest said looking over the crowd.
Naru looked at the two. Something inside her wanting to speak up, inside her something didn't like what was happening. She clutched her chest and bit her lower lip. She trembled a bit and gasped in air and slowly opened her mouth to object. She wanted to stop what she was doing but she couldn't something wanted her to interrupt the wedding. Slowly her mouth opened and…
"I OBJECT!"
"Ehhh…?"
A woman from the door of the church yelled out. The people looked at the woman and saw Nanami standing there wearing a…wedding gown?
"Nanami-san what are you doing!?" Keitaro exclaimed at his friend. Nanami then dashed to the front of the altar and hooked her arm around Keitaro's free arm.
"I'm the one he's going to marry!" She proclaimed earning the gasp of the crowd and unbelieving stares from the Hinata girls.
"Ara…" Mutsumi looked at the woman and Nanami stared her down.
"You want to marry Kei-kun. Alright let's play janken (Rock paper scissors) to decide who will marry Kei-kun." Mutsumi said making the whole crowd face fault. How could she pick a simple game to decide a marriage, well her mind was of a five year old.
"What! Janken!?" Keitaro was shocked to what was happening he was losing track of his sanity with all the crazy stuff happening to him.
"Alright!" Nanami agreed earning Keitaro's incredulous look.
"Wait aren't you engaged!" Keitaro exclaimed.
"Yeah but I like to piss of my parents and I won't let her fool you Keitaro-kun." Nanami hissed the end of her sentence.
"Nanami–san you don't understand." Naru exclaimed from her position rushing to the altar.
"Ara…Na-chan you want to join in also! Alright let's go Na-chan…one…two…"
"What wait…" Naru unconsciously prepared her hand. She then remembered something important from her childhood. She never won against Mutsumi in jaken because she only knows scissors.
"Oh no unconsciously I already chose scissors I'm gonna lose!" Naru thought a tear forming in her eye. She shut them tight not wanting to see she lost. Slowly she opened her eyes again and to her surprise she won! Mutsumi chose paper as Nanami did.
Naru looked into Mutsumi's eyes. Mutsumi was flushed and smiling at her warmly.
"Oops, I lose again." Mutsumi said and wobbled before she fell down unconscious. Naru had a disbelieving look on her flushed face.
"Again?' She thought in a daze as the others rush to Mutsumi's aid.
Flashback
"Na-chan, do you like Kei-kun?" Mutsumi asked the little Naru. Naru nodded in reply.
"Then let's play jaken to see who gets to marry him alright." Mutsumi said smiling.
"One…two…" Little Naru was confused not knowing what to do flailing around her hand"…three" finally they let their hands down and saw that Naru had won.
"Hehe... I guess I lose ne." Mutsumi said making Naru smile brightly.
End Flashback
The next day.
"Well I guess I'll see you later Mu-chan." Keitaro said. They were on the dock Mutsumi was there to see them off.
"Be safe Mutsumi-san, take care of yourself." Naru said to her friend smiling warmly.
"Don't worry Naru-chan I'll be alright. Let's see each other again in the entrance exam for Toudai" Mutsumi said. Naru nodded in reply.
"Oh Narusegawa-san, did you remembered anything? I only remembered bit's of pieces of us three being together." Keitaro said putting a finger on his chin.
"I remembered a lot of them and will be spending some time sorting them out." She said blushing and smiled at him. Truly she would be spending sometime sorting out those memories and feelings she had acquired.
"I wished I remembered more of our childhood." Keitaro sighed.
"You don't need to remember anything. " Naru turned around her face still red and looked like it even got redder. The Hinata gang was already on the ship waiting for them to board. Nanami and Chiyo were still going to stay there for a few days.
"Sempai!" Shinobu waved at him.
"Come one Keitaro!" Kaolla called out while leaning on the boats side.
"Well, we'll be going now." Keitaro turned to walk away but Mutsumi grabbed his head and suddenly covered his lips with hers. The hinata gang jaws dropped to the floor. Shinobu flushed crimson her eyes in swirls. Kaolla watched in fascination along with Kitsune who was snickering behind her hand.
After a minute Mutsumi then pulled away blushing cutely and smiled at him.
"Bye Kei-kun, see you later." She said. Keitaro just stared at her with wide eyes. Naru and Motoko then appeared behind him eyes morphed into demonic looks.
"KEITARO/URASHIMA!" both women bellowed in the same time and chased after Keitaro.
"WAHHHHHH!!"
