Author Notes: Thanks everyone for your many reviews, I'm really glad you liked it. Here is the next chapter - … - our poor kanrinin performs some fighting… Well you'll see by yourself. See you at the end of the chapter. Ja ne.

Meanwhile all girls gathered in the kitchen around crying Shinobu. Everyone was really concerned because the last person in the world they would like to see crying was her – small, innocent, dear Shinobu. They tried to calm her down and ask what Keitaro've done to her but they didn't really succeeded in it - after long crying she fell asleep leaving all of them puzzled about the things she was crying for. Motoko carried little girl to her room, then she returned and announced "Hinata Sou's council session". Today's topic was: "Keitaro and his behavior". The session went smoothly, everyone sharing their experience, blaming Keitato for all that happened this morning. The session was going to end by giving Keitaro some more beating and then forget about this whole thing. All of the girls were already not mad with him – Kitsune's mood became much better after yelling at Keitaro and messing up the council session, Su's went up constantly after Keitaro beating – well she could never be sad for a long time. Motoko – she already contained her feelings and didn't want to kill him any more, and as for Naru – she sometimes secretly enjoyed his popping up and seeing her underwear after all, and knowing that pushing her down wasn't his conscious deed – as it always was – made her forget the whole deal too. Suddenly Su asked innocently:

"Hey, I'm hungry, are we going to have a breakfast after all?"

Uncomfortable silence fell over the kitchen: with Shinobu down there were no one able to cook good – although Naru's skills improved a bit after returning from the Paparakeru island her food wasn't still looking good enough and Su's special country food was too curry for them to handle. Kitsune and Motoko just couldn't do a simple thing at kitchen, so they needed someone who could feed them right now. Naru, who was already calmed down about morning accident proposed an idea to have Keitaro cooking them many tasty food instead of giving him another beating and everyone approved of it.

So then girls decided to find Keitaro and tell him their decision. According to all morning accidents Keitaro must've been repairing some of the walls in Hinata Sou, so finding him wasn't a big deal. However when girls went through shattered corridors of the old Inn they saw no signs of Kanrinin doing his duties. This enraged Motoko again:

"What in the hell is this idiot thinking about, why didn't he repair all the damage done because of him? Looks like a little beating is going on anyway!"

Girls looked all over the Inn but couldn't find their lazy manager. Then Naru got a bright idea of checking his room.

"If he was really that lazy he would be lying on his futon at the moment, isn't it?"

They went to his room and Keitaro was really lying there, but he was lying on the floor under the hole in his instead of his bed. His eyes were closed his body was enfeebled so he was looking as if he was deeply asleep. However it wasn't true – closing his eyes and resting on the floor as good as he could helped him to ease the pain a bit. Girls looked at him with returning anger and disgust and asked:

"Hey idiot, are you going to lie down whole day or you will eventually remember your duties as the manager? When are you going to fix walls and floors? Poor Shinobu passed out so you'd better hurry and cook us something good if you don't want to have some more exercise!"

The first moment Keitaro heard this beautiful voices a part of his usual kindness appeared from nowhere, if only they've said some nice words about how sorry they are to hurt him like this and so on everything might have returned back, but… The words already escaped their mouths and nothing could be done about it anymore. Hurt again, enraged and hurt boy tried to be as polite as he could in this situation:

"Nothing of it was my fault so I won't do anything to clean it up. At the moment I'm a bit hurt so you'd better call an ambulance instead of going here and insulting me. Now get out of my room and don't you dare to come here any more without my permission."

To say that girls were shocked after hearing this words means to say nothing, if only they thought about it a bit more calmly they could've understood that something WAS wrong about their Kanrinin, but they didn't… Their reaction was quite predictable:

"You think that you need an ambulance? NOW you'll really need it!!! Hiiken Zankuusen!"

The mighty strike blew poor one's body into one of room's walls bringing enormous pain to his injuries. Normal human would already be dead – but it was Keitaro, not just a mere human. Though now his immortality was lost – it was replaced with great rage and hatred that helped him to sustain the pain and were fed by it altogether. Suddenly he felt a battle aura glowing around him, his rage putting a sort of protection on him and his hatred targeted the source of his pains – his damned annoying idiotic bitches – his darn tenants. He was going to show them how much they were wrong hurting him. "It would be a good lesson for them to learn he thought." Then a fearful smile appeared on his face, he slowly got up and started walking to them. Fractured foot bones rubbed against one another dealing him a great pain – but he was shielded from it now and the only effect was increasing his dark strength.

There was something scary in his slow approaching, Kitsune step back a bit, so did Su that was scared probably the first time in her whole life – she saw burning hell in the eyes of her manager. "Brother, what's wrong." – she whispered but not loud enough to Keitaro to hear. Naru and Motoko weren't afraid though – either they didn't see this hell or didn't pay attention to it. This idiot was asking for some beating – very well he was going to have it!

"What's up, Keitaro? Do you want to fight with us? Are you crazy or something?"

Keitaro didn't pay any attention to their words, he just wanted to get near to them and attack. All that he needed right now was to teach this bitches a small lesson. When he decided he went close enough he suddenly stopped. Girls were amazed and irritated by his behavior so they couldn't just stand there and wait:

"Naru atomic punch! Hiiken Zankuusen!"

This attack dispelled last remains of his good feelings towards the girls. Now nothing was going to stop him from beating them.

"URASHIMA'S HELLBORN ATTACK!!!"

Both Naru and Motoko were really surprised that Keitaro managed to evade their attacks – he didn't even move a bit! Even more surprising was his own strike – big-sized great-fuelled high-energy fireballs. Two of them went towards their master's attackers, one – to the remaining two hostile neutrals. Motoko did her best to parry the ball with her katana – almost managing to do it, Naru was just hit and the other girls frightened to the death run away, being missed by the consuming fire. However Keitaro wasn't very skilled with his newly gained martial art so balls weren't THIS strong. Naru survived an impact loosing all her clothes as a price, Motoko was shocked and burnt a bit but still combatable anyway. She saw her Sempai lying unconscious on the floor, other girls retreating at full speed and decided to get out too. But Keitaro didn't want it – he hasn't got his fun with Motoko yet. He prepared himself for another fireball when Kendo girl fought back:

"Rockbreaker secret technic!"

This time Keitaro's protection couldn't take all dealt damage and he was sent flying to the same damn wall again. When he got up girls were already gone. "Very well," he thought to himself, "at least one of them got my lesson. If only others would appear here once again, they'd get it too."

Saying this he fell back on the floor – human body can withstand some pain for a short period of time (remember Bersercers) but eventually it would return. So it did at that very moment – it returned to Keitaro, and crashed his nerve system – he passed out due to the great pain shock he got. His wounds internal and external were too much for a human to tolerate. By the way he got a several internal bleedings, that was going to kill him in few hours. But he didn't care about all that at the moment because he was in a totally another world. He was dreaming and there everything was back to how it used to be: girls liked him, he liked girls, Naru playfully punched him for being pervert and then let him in her room to study. There were no hate, no real violence, everyone was happy and lovely. This was the way his life should be and he longed to remain in his dreams… forever…"

Shinobu jumped from her bed in her room panting furiously. She had seen one of the most terrible nightmares in her life – she yelled at Keitaro-sempai and even hit him and then he left her. The worst of it was that he was trying to help her at the moment. Thanks gods it was only a dream. But hold on for a bit – she didn't hear her alarms clock and it means that she overslept and all tenants are waiting impatiently for their breakfast! Young shef needed to hurry and make it now to feed people relying on her cooking skills.

Suddenly something bad entered her mind – she wasn't in her pajamas and the time was too late for her to oversleep. It meant that she was having not just a nightmare – it was a real thing! She must have fixed all bad she has done now and make it quick! Shinobu got up and hurried to her Sempai's room. It was closed and a bit burnt – because of a fireball Keitaro threw at Kitsune and Su. Just when young girl was about to enter she felt very scared all of a sudden. She weekly pushed a door to slide and this sounds made Keitaro to return to the real world from his fantasies – you can guess it wasn't nice experience – having all that pain after total tranquility, so Kanrinin was already enraged and decided to attack whoever it was for his foolish act. He turned his head to the door to see which of his bastard tenants was going to have hers lessons now. Seeing however poor scared Shinobu desperately trying to push herself to enter his room he managed to contain his attack for a bit. He decided to get rid of her without using his force and shouted:

"What in hell do you need here? Why can't you leave me alone? Get out of my room before I'll need to stand up and finish you!"

It was too much for poor Shinobu to handle, her fears overcame her and she just ran for her life out from there. Glad about his getting this problem out of his way Keitaro lay back still, closed his eyes and fell into his fantasy world once again. Meanwhile scared girl ran to the hall where she was caught by Motoko's strong arms:

"Shinobu-chan? It's great you are safe here, did this bastard do anything bad to you again? I'll get him next time for sure! Ok lets go now."

"Where are we going Motoko-sempai?"

"To the third session of our council of course! This damn Urashima is such a troublemaker! But this time he'll receive a lesson that'll teach him how not to make us into troubles any more!"

Completely confused Shinobu didn't resist and soon she was sitting in around a small lamp with all other tenants listening to their conversation. And the conversation just was not going to end good.

Author's Notes:

All that I can say about endings – first would be sad, second – insanely, third – strange and fourth – happy. If you'd like to give me some more ideas you are welcome at urgin@inbox.ru.
