First Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Love Hina, Ranma ½ or Video Girl Ai. This story is one of the many ideas I have in my brain. In this whole story, you will meet characters from other anime shows. However, with my limited knowledge of anime that I watch (it's about three or four other shows if you were wondering), I won't be putting a lot of characters. I will put disclaimers on them, but not in the first disclaimer of a chapter so you can be surprised about what characters show up! So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

New Faces And Dangers At The Hinata Sou: The Third New Tenant

Summer is almost gone as Shinobu and Naru take down some of the other residents' laundry. They have finished all their own laundry days ago and finished the rest of the tenants' laundry, with the exception of Motoko, Ranma, Moemi and Keitaro. Since most of the residents are going back to school tomorrow, all the residents wanted to getting everything cleaned up before starting the school year.

As Shinobu takes down the last of Keitaro's underwear, she notices that Naru has a miserable look on her face, like someone just ripped her heart out from her chest and threw it into a bottomless pit. Shinobu had been noticing that look a lot in the pass few weeks. Naru would be cheerful one minute with everyone and the next, would seem depressed and would get away from everyone she laid eyes on. "Is everything all right Naru?"

"Yes Shinobu. I'm all right," as she gets the last of Motoko's thing in the basket. "Why do you ask?"

"Well…" Shinobu starts off as they both see Moemi coming towards them, holding a basket of her laundry. "Hi Shinobu! Hi Naru!"

"Moemi!" Naru bewilder to see her. "What are you doing? I thought you would cleaning the living room still?"

Moemi puts the basket down and starts to hang up a shirt. "I finished that an hour ago. And everyone is done with their chores, so I thought I help you two out by doing my own laundry."

"Oh, you shouldn't have," Naru picks up the basket starts to leave as Shinobu follows. But suddenly, Naru swings around and hits Shinobu in the head with the basket. She falls and drops the basket, scattering both Ranma's and Keitaro's clothes on the floor. As Shinobu picks up the clothes, she sees that Naru never looked down at her or helped her pick up the clothes. She just looked straight at Moemi, wickedly and with a half-hearted smile. "You know Moemi, I just notice that you're not with Keitaro. You're usually with him like in his room talking or sitting next to him at dinner. You even go on errands with him. How come you're always hanging out with him?"

"Naru, I hang out with everyone here. Even you. But I just feel that Keitaro understands me a little better then anyone else. I know I can come to him when I have a problem and he just makes me feel comfortable. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. I just notice it. Hey! Maybe we can go to the aquarium together this weekend?"

Moemi puts up the last of her laundry before she answers. "You know, I would like that."

"Great!" Naru turns around and walks away, mumbling something under her breath.

Shinobu picks up the last of the clothes and walks towards Ranma's room to give her laundry, but no one was in the room. She goes in, places her clothes neatly on her bed and starts heading towards Keitaro's room. On the way there, she kept thinking of why Naru asked Moemi that question and why was she mean to her. Moemi is the nicest person she had ever meet, next to Keitaro. Always kind and caring towards others. Then it hits her that she always notices that when Naru is upset or depressed, Moemi is always around Keitaro. She was never like that when she saw her with any of the other residents. Just when she was with him. 'Could Naru be jealous?' Shinobu wonders as she knocks on Keitaro's door.

"Hello?"

Shinobu found it a little odd to hear Kitsune's voice. She looks at the room name and definitely knows its Keitaro's. "It's me, Shinobu."

"Oh Shinobu!" hearing Keitaro's voice. "I'm playing a game with Kitsune, Su, and Ranma. Come on in."

She opens the door and comes in seeing the four of them playing a card game. She walks up to Keitaro and sits down next to him. "What are you playing?"

"It's poke me!" Su says, quickly picking up two cards.

"It's poker! Not poke me!" Kitsune yells as she discards three of her cards and grabs three new ones. She studies the cards and grabs four white chips. "I'll start the betting." She tosses the chips in the middle of the table.

"I'll see that." Ranma also tosses four white chips with a huge smile on her face.

"Me too! Me too!" Su tosses four white chips.

"I'm game." Keitaro says as he tosses four white chips. "And I'll raise you all." He pushes all his chips in the middle of the table. Shinobu looks at his cards and sees four eights and the two of diamonds.

"I'll see that, loser!" Kitsune says as she does the same.

"Me too! Me too!" Su pushes all her chips.

"Well, I know we're playing for fun, so I won't win any of the money, but it'll be fun whooping all your asses!" Ranma too pushes all her chips. "Here!" She throws down her cards face up, showing four six's and the five of spades. "Now can anyone beat that?"

"I do! I do!" Su jumps up and throws her cards on the table, showing three sevens, the three of hearts and the king of clubs.

"What? Su, you only have three of a kind." Shinobu says.

"But Shinobu-chan, threes are wild," Keitaro tells her. "However," showing his cards to everyone, "It didn't beat me!"

With a smile, he starts to pull back the chips until Kitsune slaps his hand and shows off her cards containing an ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of hearts. "Looks like I win." Keitaro's mouth drops as Kitsune pulls the chips towards her. When the chips were close enough to her, Ranma grabs her arm.

"And the winner is Kitsune!" Ranma raises her arm and out flies a few cards from her sleeve.

"You cheated!" Keitaro gets up and points to her. Outraged, he starts to walk towards her, but Ranma gets up and pushes him back.

"Keitaro. It was a friendly game. You didn't lose any money. Just be careful the next time you play with her, OK?" Ranma says as he nods his head.

"Yeah! And I'm not the only one who can do that, so watch out who you play."

"Kitsune!" Su grabs hold of her back. "Can you teach me how to do that?"

"Sure, I'll show you in my room." Kitsune gets up and heads towards her room with Su still on her back.

"Well, that was a learning experience." Keitaro and Ranma start to clean up the table when he turns to Shinobu. "By the way, what bring you by?"

"Your laundry, Sempei." She holds out the basket full of his clothes in front of him. "I finished drying them."

"Thank you Shinobu." He takes the basket from her and starts to put away his clothes. Shinobu helps Ranma with the mess on the table. When the two of them were finished, Shinobu see Keitaro looking around in the basket. He turns to her, picks up the basket and walks towards her. "Thanks again Shinobu," handing her the basket. "But those underwear in the basket aren't mine."

"HUH?" She looks at the basket and sees boxer shorts. "Are you sure? I mean…it's…boys underwear."

"Yeah! They are boys underwear, but not mine."

Ranma comes to them and looks in the basket and screams. She grabs the basket out of Shinobu's hands, letting her fall to the ground. She drops the basket and helps Shinobu up to her feet. "I'm sorry about that. I was just bewilder that you did my underwear."

"WHAT?!" Both Shinobu and Keitaro scream out. The puzzled look on their faces makes Ranma uncomfortable as she tries to explain the sitution.

"Yeah! I just…well…like to wear them. That's all." Ranma picks up the basket of her boxers. "Well, I'll see you later!"

As she leaves, both Keitaro and Shinobu still have a puzzled look on their faces. "Why does she wear boys underwear, Keitaro-Sempei?"

"Who knows. It's none of our business," he looks at his watch. "It's almost dinner time. I'm going out to the front to catch some fresh air. See you then?"

She nods and heads for the kitchen. He leaves about a minute later and goes out to the front with his sketchbook. He sits under a shadey tree as he start to draw the town. As he begins, he notices a young girl with short reddish-brown hair carrying two suitcases up the stairs. She looks up at him and waves her hands. "Excuse me! But is this the Hinata Sou?" the young girl yells.

"Yes it is. You need a hand?" She nods and down the stairs goes Keitaro, skipping every other step go get to her quicker. Once he gets to her, he picks up one of the suitcases and starts coming the stairs.

"Thank you very much sure," The girl bows once they reach the top of the stairs. "One of them I can handle, but not both. Too heavy. Do you know if the manager is in? I like to know if there is a room I can rent?"

"Miss. I'm the manager."

"What?" The news of this shocks her as she takes a step back. "But…but…you're a guy! And this…this place is support to be an all girls dorm!"

"Well, it's kind of a long story, but I am the manager. You can ask everyone in there if you doubt me."

"No, no. I'm just surprised. That's all. So, do you know if….." the girl starts to get nervous about asking him about the rooms.

"Miss. I know we have one more room left open. If you like, you can stay there. You just have to fill out some information about yourself."

"That would be great! Thank you Mr. Manager!" The young girl jumps onto him and starts hugging to life out of him. Once she lets go, Keitaro catches his breath and picks up a suitcase. They go inside and up the stairs towards the girl's new room. They go in the last open room in the Hinata Sou as both of the drop the suitcases onto the floor.

"Here you go miss. Your new place! Room 305."

"Thank you again Mr. Manager." The girl bows again.

"The name's Keitaro. Let me get you your papers to finalize the deal," He's runs out the door and returns a minute later with the papers in hand. "Here you go," as he hands her the papers and a pen. "Just give it back to me with your signature before dinner, which is in 45 minutes. OK?" she nods as she sits down and looks over the policy while Keitaro leave. As he's about to, he turns around and asks the girl, "By the way, what's your name?"

The girl turn to see him in the doorway. "It's Urara Kasuga." She turns back and read the policy again as Keitaro leaves.
