Love Hina – Felony Assault
Fanfic by Steven Biggs
Chapter Three – Cover Up
Wednesday Night
[I next interviewed the girl that was first attacked and a woman here on vacation. Miss Maehara is the girl that was originally involved in this incident. Maybe she can clarify what has been happening around here.]
"Good evening, Miss Maehara, please sit down and tell me what happened."
"Okay. Sempai accidentally fell. It wasn't his fault, really! He's so kind and gentle and sweet!"
"Has he attacked you before?"
"No! He never, ever would do something like that! He's so kind and gentle and sweet!"
"Yes, you already said that."
"Well, after he fell, Motoko got jealous and hit him with her sword. Oh, poor Sempai!"
"You're telling me that Miss Aoyama hit him because of a jealous rage?"
"I think so. Why would anyone want to hurt poor, lovable, sweet Sempai?"
"What was the victim's relationship with you, if any?"
"I love, I mean I really like Sempai! Aaauuuuu!"
[Every female so far has hinted at hidden feelings for the victim.]
"What happened after Miss Aoyama hit him?"
"Sempai bounced off the wall and Naru-sempai ran to catch him. When they were holding each other, I saw her, uh, um . . . . . ."
"What did you see?"
"I think that I was the only one that saw it, because I was standing next to them, but she k-k-kissed him. Aaauuuuu!"
"She kissed him? But everyone else said that she hit him."
"She didn't hit him at first. When she noticed that I saw her kissing Sempai, she grabbed his hand and, and, and placed it against her br-br-breast!"
"Are you saying that Miss Narusegawa intentionally placed his hand there?"
"Y-y-yes! Aaauuuuu! Then Naru-sempai acted like it was Sempai's fault and hit him to hide that she was embarrassed."
"This is very interesting. Are you absolutely sure about what you saw?"
"Oh yes! I saw everything!"
"Thank you very much, Miss Maehara. You can go, and please send in Miss Ishido."
[Miss Ishido Hikari is a local doctor that runs a clinic at the bottom of the hill. She was the victim's physician.]
"Miss Ishido, you have treated the victim in the past for injuries he sustained while working as this inn's manager."
"That is correct. He has been to my clinic for minor injuries and I have responded here when called."
"How many times have you had to visit here to treat him?"
"Twice since he became the manager."
"Can you tell me what you treated him for?
"Well, from the most critical injury first, I have treated him for a broken rib, a dislocated shoulder twice, and a head injury."
"That is three injuries. I thought you said that you came here twice."
"Two of the injuries were concurrent."
"Were these injuries caused by accidents?"
"That is confidential information between me and my patient."
"I understand, but I need to know for my investigation."
"Very well. No they were not caused by accidents."
"Who was responsible for injuring him?"
"It, it was Naru-san, Motoko-san, and, and myself."
"You have injured the victim?"
"I did not mean to. He grabbed my breast and I drove my elbow into his forehead."
"So, he molested you also."
"No, not really. He was dazed and without his glasses at the time and could not tell what he was reaching for."
"Did you witness tonight's attack?"
"Yes, Kei-kei . . . . ."
"Kei-kei?"
"Excuse me, I mean Keitaro-san accidentally fell into Shinobu. After Motoko-san inadvertently struck out in her protection, he fell against Naru-san, who then struck out reflexively."
"In your professional opinion, could a human who received such attacks survive them?"
"No, but Keitaro seems to have some kind of defense that allows him to endure."
"If that is so, then why isn't he here? Where is the body?"
"Judging from Naru-san's punch, Keitaro probably landed about four kilometers away. It takes some time to walk back from such a distance."
"You mean to tell me that you can determine what distance the victim's body traveled just by observing Miss Narusegawa's attack?"
"That is correct. She, and Motoko-san, are very precise."
"A minute ago, you called the victim Kei-kei. Could you explain that?"
"That was what I called him when he was a small child."
"So, you have known the victim his entire life?"
"I have not seen him since he was less than two years old. When my parents moved to America I wanted to take him with me."
"Thank you, Doctor. You may wait in the common room with the rest."
[I spent a few minutes reviewing my notes. After analyzing the facts and ruling out the discrepancies in the girls' stories, I have determined what actually happened. I confront the guilty parties in their common room.]
