~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the middle of the night and Naru Narusegawa was lying down, face up in her futon.
[Ok, so Keitaro loves me more than a promise...dammit you guys! Why did you have to interrupt right before he was going to tell me why he fell in love with me! Maybe he loves me for my personality...] Naru thought. Then she remembered what happened back at the hot spring.
[Hmm...maybe not...my good looks? Maybe... but what...what!] Naru thought to herself scratching her head wildly.
Chapter 2: The Proposal
"Morning" Naru said, walking through the door to the kitchen. Everyone looked at her. She was dazed, still half asleep, deep bags under her eyes, and her hairs a mess.
"Damn girl, the lease you could to is freshen up a little before coming in here. I haven't seen you like this since you were studying to get into Tokyo U. What were you doing all night?" Kitsune asked her.
"Something was bugging me all night...have you seen Keitaro?" Naru asked them.
"I believe Urashima when out for awhile with Mutsumi..." Motoko informed her.
"Maybe he's two-timing Naru..." Kitsune added.
"Kitsune! Don't say things like that!" Shinobu yelled at her.
"Feh, whatever. You know, one of the things that have been bugging me all night was....WHY ARE YOU GUYS STALKING US!" Naru yelled at them, suddenly chasing them down the hallway.
"Can't you take a joke? We were just checking up on you two!" Kitsune yelled.
**
"So did you ask her yet?" Mutsumi asked Keitaro as they waked round the city.
"Not yet, and I was going to ask her until you guys had to come along." Keitaro said, glaring at her.
"O my...you were? I wish I was there..." Mutsumi said, head in the clouds again. "You were there! You interrupted us when I was going to!" Keitaro screamed at her.
"I was going to wipe out my ring, and propose to her right there in the hot spring..." Keitaro said, exaggerating a bit.
"Hmm...But it seems that you chickened out and panicked, so you just brought up conversation instead right?" Mutsumi asked. Keitaro fell over.
"O no! The ring!" Keitaro suddenly got a memory laps.
"What ring?"
"The ring! The ring I was going to give to Naru! When I panicked, I threw it somewhere in the hot spring!" Keitaro said, starting to panic again. "And it's Naru's turn to clean the spring this time...I have to hurry!" Keitaro said, running back to the Hinata Inn.
"Keitaro! Wait!" Mutsumi called but he was out of ear shot. "Keitaro...but the feather...."
**
"Damn, why does this hot spring have to be so big!" Keitaro said to himself as he searched for the ring he tossed. "If any of the girls decide to take a bath, I'm as good as dead!"
"Damn, why does this hot spring have to be so big?" a voice called. Keitaro quickly jumped into the hot spring, cloths and all. Naru walked along the side with a bucket and a mop.
"God I hate this job...wish Keitaro would do it for me." She laughed.
[Come on...where are you, you stupid ring...] Keitaro thought as he searched underwater. Quickly, he realized that he needed air and fast. As fast and silently as he can, he surfaced.
"Ack...Jesus...O shit!" Keitaro said, quickly diving back under and Naru approached. She watched as the water rippled.
"Huh...must be a leaf..." She said to herself as she continued to mop. Keitaro again surfaced and looked around.
[That was close...gotta keep my side notes to myself now...ok, where is that stupid...ah ha!] Keitaro eyes widen. He saw it, floating genteelly on the water surface. Slowly he swam towards it.
[Almost there...and...crap! Dive! Dive! Dive!] Keitaro panicked and went underwater. Naru turned around again and looked at the hot spring.
"Odd...something is going on, hey...what's that?" She said as she tried to get a closer look on the black box that held the engagement ring.
[No no no...this can't be happening!] Keitaro thought as Naru got closer.
"Na-chan!" Mutsumi called from the spring doorway. Quickly Naru rushed over to Mutsumi.
"Hey Mutsumi..." Naru greeted. Naru and Mutsumi engaged in conversation. Keitaro, out of air, erupted from the water.
"Ah Ha! Gottcha!" Naru called, holding the broom like a sword. But no one was there.
"Huh?"
"Na-chan, you need to calm down...nothing is there..." Mutsumi said to her.
"You're right...I think I'll go inside for now..." Naru said, walking inside with Mutsumi. Keitaro, surprisingly, was hiding behind a large boulder, away from Naru's sights. He looked at the box.
[Whew...this better be worth getting pulverized...] Keitaro thought as he opened the box. Inside, was nothing.
[God Dammit!] Keitaro panicked.
**
[Good this I found it before Naru came back] Keitaro thought to himself as he held the ring in his hand.
"Kei-kun!" Mutsumi called.
"Hi Mutsumi..." Keitaro greeted, putting the ring away.
"What's up?"
"Did you know that tonight is the Starry Festival down in Kyoto? It is known that tonight will have the brightest, most beautiful stars that can be seen. And it only happens every 5 years!" Mutsumi said to him.
"Wow, that's amazing..." Keitaro said in awe.
"I know, and you know what? This would be the perfect time to propose to her! When the mood is right, you go for it!" Mutsumi encouraged him.
"Yeah! I'll do it!"
"Do what?" Naru asked, suddenly behind them. Keitaro and Mutsumi both jumped back.
"Ah! Na-chan! Kei-kun was just telling me on how he was going to ask you to watch the stars tonight over at Kyoto!" Mutsumi helped. "Er...yeah! That's right...um, so you wanna go?" Keitaro asked nervously. Naru looked at them both with suspicion.
"Fine...but if we want to get to Kyoto, we better leave now." She told them as she walked off to get ready. Keitaro and Mutsumi looked at each other. "Well, would you look at that..." Mutsumi said to him.
"Yeah...I better get ready!" Keitaro said, also walking off. Mutsumi turned around and held her thumb up high. In the shadows, another hand gave a thumbs up.
**
Keitaro and Naru both arrived at Kyoto and they looked at their surroundings.
"Hmm, it's not even close to night time yet....wanna walk around to kill some time?" Keitaro asked her.
"Sure, we have nothing better to do. Besides, the others are still at home." Naru agreed. So they walked off together, but in behind a lamppost, everyone peered from the sides.
"Ok, I think they're heading off to the park, go go go!" Kitsune commanded as the Hinata girls moved out. Keitaro
Keitaro and Naru were walking in the park when they noticed a stagecoach was there.
"Hey, it won't be dusk yet, let's ride Keitaro." Naru said to him. They both got in and the driver looked at then. He was wearing all black and his face wasn't visible.
"Where shall I be taking you two?" He asked.
"Once around the park is fine." Naru told him.
"Ok..." the driver said. The stagecoach started to move and Naru leaned and placed her head on Keitaro's shoulder.
[Maybe I should do it now...If I do, then we will have all night to look at them, knowing that we are going to get married...] Keitaro thought as he reached into his pocket.
From afar...
"Kanako did a great job on looking like a stagecoach driver..." Mutsumi said as they watched them go around the park. "Heh, and things are going as planned." Kitsune said, holding a wrench.
"K-Kitsune! What is that for?" Shinobu asked.
"Well, I ridged the stagecoach so that one of the wheels will fall off, making it out of control and head to the ditch that Sarah and Su are digging right now. If Keitaro loves Naru a lot, he should be able to save her life by jumping out with Naru in his arms!" Kitsune said proudly.
"Kitsune! Are you crazy! What were you watching! Sempai can't even save his own butt, let alone Naru's!" Shinobu yelled at her. A sweat drop appeared on Kitsune's head.
"Um...o, don't worry about it. Kanako will know what to do if things go bad." She told her.
Back at the stagecoach.
"Naru?" "Yes Keitaro?" Naru said, looking up at him.
"I...I-I..." Keitaro stuttered until the next sound that either of them heard was the wheel falling off. Both of them slid down towards the left as the horse panicked and accelerated at full speed. Unfortunately for Kanako, she wasn't ready and flew backwards. In the back, Mutsumi, Shinobu, and Kitsune all fell over. Kitsune and the others ran towards Kanako as she removed her disguise.
"It's all up to him now..." Kitsune looked on as the out of control stagecoach ran off course. Naru shut her eyes as Keitaro held her tight.
"Don't worry Naru, I'll keep you safe." He said.
Along the path...
"There we go!"
Su said, as she looked at the hole she made with her robot.
"Su! Kitsune said dig a ditch! Not blast a crater!" Sarah told her.
"Incoming!"
Su said to Sarah as they looked along the path to see the coach on schedule.
The carriage was still out of control as it raced down the path and then a loud, ear deafen crashed sounded off in an eight mile radius of the actual crash. Kitsune and the other rushed over at the site and saw a totaled carriage. The horse was ok and on top on the horse was Naru.
"Keitaro!"
"Sempai!"
"Oniichan!" Slowly, Keitaro came out of the rubble.
"Ow...what just happened..." he said, rubbing his head.
**
It was eight o' clock and Keitaro and Naru were walking around the port.
"I didn't know that they guys would be coming to Kyoto to see the stars also." Keitaro said in amazement. "Where did they go anyways?"
"O...nowhere, they told me that they were getting a room for the night is all..." Naru said, in a sarcastic voice the Keitaro didn't notice. Back in a hotel, all of them were tied up in one room, knocked out.
"Hey! Check it out!" Keitaro said, pointing up. Naru looked up and saw the star in the sky. "Wow, must be the North Star." Naru said as they looked up. Suddenly, like it was all planned out, all the stars where all appearing one by one.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Naru said. Keitaro looked back at her. Naru looked back at him, noticing, Keitaro quickly looked back at the stars.
"Keitaro...remember back in the hot spring...when you were about to tell me why you love me. On how you love me not because of a stupid promise but something else. I want you to finish what you were about to say..." Naru said to him. Keitaro looked straight at her.
"O yeah...well, I was going to say... I don't love you because of some dumb promise anymore...the reason that I'm in love with you now is because..." Keitaro started. "...because you showed me that there is more to life than just studying and to focus my dreams on one promise I make so many years ago. You showed me that there are people that there are a lot of people in the world that share the same dream, showed me that there are a lot of nice and well, indifferent people out in the world; that there is something that is more important than studies. You also showed me that there are special people out there. People that stay by your side. People that you can depend on. People that can help you get through obstacles you once can't get through alone. And you showed me love. People that love and give love to others. The Hinata House, Seta, and especially you inspired me to be a new man, to live another life. You were the first one to show me that..." Keitaro told her, smiling at her. Naru looked off to the side.
"You know Keitaro. Ever since yesterday. I, myself, have thinking on why I fell in love with you. At first, I thought it was for show...to show everyone that we are a couple finally so that they wouldn't pester us like they normally do. But then, I remember why I fell in love with you. It was for love itself. I never wanted to be in love in the first place. But when Seta came along, something took over me, a feeling of lust and desire. This feeling was new to me and I wanted to feel like that forever. So I lusted after Seta, hoping that this feeling would stay with me, but it got me nowhere except stuttering whenever he's around. But then, a couple of years after, you came along and you showed me something more important than looking for someone to love. You showed me that giving love and loving something with all your heart is different than just looking for love. It took me awhile to see that through your kind actions. Long enough that I actually was falling in love with you. Not for attention or desire...but real love. But I was scared on what happens next. All my life I knew that was going to happen next, how things were going to turn out, but this was the first thing that I didn't know what was going to happen. Ok, both of use feel the same way for each other...now what? What's going to happen? Are we going to live happily together? Are we going to fight like all family parents do? Now that I think about it, I still don't know what's going to happen. I've been so cowardly al this time. But my mind is made up; if I'm going into the unknown...I want to do it with you by my side Keitaro." Keitaro looked away from her, trying to think things out.
[Maybe this is the best time....] Keitaro thought. He quickly reached into his pocket. "Naru...I completely agree on you on that last part...Ms. Narusegawa, ever since I came to the Hinata House, I had a lot of problems and of course, one of them being the whole Tokyo U entrance exams. I couldn't do it alone. We both did it together. We both took on problems head on and still kept on going. No matter how hard it was, we never gave up...I want it to be like that forever. So...Naru Narusegawa..." (A.N. Don't you dare take this line, this is the line I'm going to use on my special someone. *smile*)
Keitaro started, taking out the black box, but then his hand was caught in his pocket, making him fling the box right into the ocean.
"Ack! No! Someone tell me this isn't happening...someone!" Keitaro yelled.
"Keitaro....what's wrong? What were you about to give me?" Naru asked.
[O no! Naru's expecting something...gotta give her something and fast!] He thought as he reached into his pocket. [Ah ha!] He thought, pulling out the blue feather, but as luck has it, he dropped it on the floor. "O great..." he said, going down on one knee feeling the floor for the feather. "Ah! Got it! Here you go Naru, for you!" He said, holding out the blue feather. Naru's face turned red.
"K-Keitaro...this that...a blue feather?" Keitaro, with a confused face, tilted his head sideways.
"Um...yeah, do you accept it?" He asked.
"I do! I do! I do! I DO!" she said, hugging him and crying.
[Wow, just for a feather...]
