'Bath Time IV'
-Disclaimer: Ken Akamatsu wrote 'Love Hina' and he owns the rights. This tale written for fun, and I seek no re-dress from it.
-Writer's Note: After quite a while, I have returned to write another Keitaro/Kitsune romance. Please enjoy. Read the previous story to find out why Keitaro now uses her given name.
This story will be a bit more involved, as I gloss over some of the other major characters.
-A pleasant Saturday evening-
"Who would have thought?" mused Mitsune just above a whisper as she washed the back of the man she loved. Although it made her extremely happy, she wondered where her lover's strength and stamina came from.
Chuckling, Keitaro replied, "It's a good thing we have the Hinata to ourselves this weekend with all the noise you made in bed, Mit-chan."
Looking over her lover's left shoulder, she gave him a huge grin and said, "and let's not mention that we came down here naked as well."
"Yeah," he said happy that he did lose any blood from his nose.
It struck him that she wore less and less as their relationship deepened. First, she teased him. Second, bras had become optional. Third, and most importantly, Mitsune was openly affectionate towards him in front of the other girls. Each resident had their own way of dealing with it:
Mutsumi, smiled and congratulated them. However, she looked at someone else when she said that.
Naru was upset at first, but soon accepted it. Because it was her that Mutsumi had looked at.
Saddened by the news, Motoko had recently defeated her sister and then bravely confessed her love to Keitaro. Since he was taken for now, all her time then went into training and academics as no other man could ever match up to him.
At Mitsune's insistence, Kaolla stopped kicking and launching her little bots at her boyfriend. She later admitted that it was how she showed him her affection.
Shinobu, that story has not ended yet.
"And who would have thought that we would have a yuri couple living here now," commented Keitaro who acknowledged his surprise when they began to share a room together.
"Oh," retorted Mitsune with a giggle, "I think that was why Naru was so hostile to you when you found out that she was the one you had made that promise to as a kid."
"Did you know about them?" asked Keitaro who was curious about the way she had worded her comeback.
Pouring warm water over her lover to rinse the soap away, Mitsune nodded and changed places with him.
Before he started to wash her naked body, Mitsune turned to face Keitaro took his hands and said, "After you first moved here and before Mutsumi came into the picture, Naru made me promise to never tell you that she was gay. Plus, she knew all about the pledge from when you were kids. When I met Mutsumi, it was then I found out that it was her she was dating."
A light suddenly come on.
"Hmmm," Keitaro responded as he looked into her eyes, "Everything makes sense now. Those two have each other, but I was the one who ended up with the better end of the promise you had made with her."
"You sure did, sweetie," she replied and moaned as Keitaro's soapy hands worked their magic on her body.
In the spa after rinsing her off, Keitaro told her about his future plans as he hoped that she would be part of them.
"Yes."
No melodrama from either about their earlier discussion as both fully supported the other.
Before we leave this little tale, both showed the one with them how much they had grown. Mitsune wanted more of what she had earlier.
"Well," he said covered in sweat.
"It looks like we will need the onsen again," she said and laid on her back once more.
A female giggle before an extremely loud scream as we end this story for now.
Good night, everyone…
-The end-
