"Hey! There's Keitaro! What's up Keitaro!" Su called from the room. Sarah was also on the roof with Kai and Kanako.

"What are your guys doing?" He asked them.

"Just doing some repair work on the roof...I...O my god Keitaro! Look out!" Kanako screamed. Keitaro looked up and saw a whole bunch of tiles fell from the roof, crushing Keitaro.

"You ok down there sergeant Keitaro?" Su called, accidentally kicking down more tiles. Slowly, Keitaro came from the pile of tiles.

"I'm....ok...ack!" Keitaro screamed, getting hit by more.

"What's going on out here..." Kitsune said, walking outside.

"Kyahh! Sempai! Are you ok?" Shinobu screamed, rushing to his aid.

"I'm...fine...." He called, pulling himself out.

"Wow, he really is immortal isn't he..." Sarah said, waving her hands around. Just then, the hammer she was holding slipped from her hand and it landed on Keitaro's head, knocking him out. "Ooops..."

They all ran down to Keitaro as he came too.

"What...what happen..." He asked them.

"Sarah knocked you out with a hammer. You ok Keitaro?" Kitsune informed him.

"Keitaro? Who's that? It's such a cool name...wish it was mine..." Keitaro said to them as everyone else looked at each other with shock.

Chapter 6: Amnesia Trouble

"Hmm...this isn't good..." Kitsune said to everyone. There was an emergency meeting up in the attic. Everyone was there except Keitaro, who was sitting down in the living room, and Naru with Keli, who went to their family to show them their grand daughter.

"Well...of course we know what to do right?" Kanako said to them, looking around.

"Of course! We leave him there and hopefully he'll get his memory back!" Kitsune said, walking downstairs. She was caught by the back of her shirt by Shinobu.

"Kitsune! What are you thinking! We have to restore his memory!"

"You know...showing him stuff that he owns will probably jog his memory..." Kai said to them.

"Ok, whatever! We return him to normal. But we better do it before Naru gets back or else we'll be in deep trouble." Kitsune said to them. They nodded and returned downstairs. Keitaro was fiddling with some magazines when the boarders came down and sat around him.

"Hey, do you remember anything?" Motoko asked him.

"Well...not really...everything is a blur..." Keitaro respond.

"Well...maybe you can't remember.... but at this time, we go out and take a bath together." Kanako said to him immediately.

"Kanako! You can't just plague his mind with un real thoughts!" Shinobu yelled at her.

"O yes, and you always pay for my drinks down at the bar!" Kitsune added.

"Kitsune!" "And you are always my target whenever I practice." Motoko said to him.

"Motoko! You guys! What happen to restoring his memory!?"

**

Shinobu came downstairs with a box of Keitaro's personal belongings.

"Hey...there isn't much in there Shinobu..." Kai said, looking inside the box.

"Don't remind me...hey Keitaro, remember this?" Shinobu asked, holding up his print club notebook.

"Um...not really..." Keitaro said to her. She dropped the notebook and picked up his old exam ticket.

"Urashima still has that?" Motoko asked in amazement. Shinobu showed it to him but he shook his head.

"There has to be something in here that will help...." She said, looking threw the items in the box.

"Maybe we are looking at this thing at the wrong angle..." Kitsune said, rubbing her chin.

"What do you mean?" Kai asked.

"If objects don't work, maybe actions will." She told them. Kitsune got up and walked over to Keitaro. She said down and leaned against him.

"Hey Keitaro....surely you remember me right?" She said, grabbing his hand and placing it on her breast. "Kitsune! We're here to help him! Not seduce him!" Shinobu yelled.

"Urashima! Prepare to die!" Motoko yelled, taking out her blade and swigged it at Keitaro.

"Ack! Please don't hurt me Motoko!" Keitaro cried. The blade instantly stopped in from of his face.

"Kyahh! He said Motoko! He remembers you!" Shinobu said to them.

"Kinda weird that he remembers you first huh Motoko..." Kitsune nudged her.

"I don't know what you're getting at..." She said, blushing.

"Hey dork! Remember us!" Sarah and Su asked, running in a kicking him on the back of his head.

"Ow! Su! Sarah! I told you not to do that!" Keitaro yelled at them.

"Wow! We're getting back his memory in record time!" Kai said to them.

"Maybe if we hit him enough...it will bring back his memory....everyone get a hammer!" Su called.

"No! No hammers!" Kanako yelled at them. Everyone sat down as they thought.

"I'm going to get lunch started...you guys figure it out while I'm gone..." Shinobu told them, walking off. They all looked at Keitaro.

"Well...I got it, maybe with we talk to him about his past...something will click in!" Motoko said to them.

"Ok...how about this, Keitaro. Remember me? I'm Kanako. I'm your lover." Kanako told him.

"Of course...they have to be real things from the past Kanako!" Motoko said to her.

"Hey Keitaro. I'm Kai remember? From the states?" Kai said to him.

"You're from the states also?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah...why?" He asked her. Sarah held out her fist. Immediately, Kai gave her props.

"Californian I see...."

"Spaghetti is up!" Shinobu called, walking into the room with a plate of spaghetti.

"Ah! The Shinobu Spaghetti! Shinobu Maehara!" Keitaro suddenly said.

"Hey! He remembers you Shinobu!" Kitsune said to her. Just then they held the door slid open.

"Hello?" a voice called.

"Aw crap! It's Naru! We're screwed!" They yelled, running around. But then Mutsumi's head popped up from the door.

"You guys home?" She said, seeing everyone falling over.

**

"Amnesia?! That's terrible!" Mutsumi said to them.

"Well, we were wondering...well, since you are well...you, can do something to jog his memory." Kitsune asked her. Mutsumi thought for a minute.

"Nope, sorry. I never experience having amnesia before. Sorry!" Mutsumi told them as they fell over again.

"Surely you can inform him on his past, can't you?" Shinobu asked her.

"O my, I can do that!" She said, grabbing Keitaro's hand. "Come on Kei-kun, let's go take a walk."

"Um...ok...bye all you nice people!" He said to them, walking out the door. They all had a sweat drop on their heads.

"O great...did you get the feeling like our hard work just went down the drain..."

**

"I'm a teacher at Tokyo U?" Keitaro asked Mutsumi. They were sitting down in front of the train station.

"Wow, you don't remember anything...how about your childhood? Anything?" She asked him. Keitaro thought for a while.

"Nope...sorry..." He said to her.

"Ok...let me tell you all about your childhood....it all started...um...twenty years ago? Or was it twenty-one years ago.... O well, but your grandma, Hina, use to run the Inn that you were just in."

"Grandma Hina?" Keitaro asked.

"Yes...and you were their on vacation every so often. So was I. I'm from Okinawa and my family often comes here also to spend our vacation."

"Hey, I think I remember something!" Keitaro said to her.

"Yeah? Like what?" Mutsumi asked excitedly. Just then, Keitaro's face went blank.

"Nope...never mind. It escaped me..." He said to her.

"Ok....do you remember making a promise? To a little girl?"

"Hey...now that you mention it...a girl in the park right? She had a Liddo kun doll..." Keitaro said, suddenly got struck by inspiration.

"That's right Kei-kun!"

"And that girl...she used to call me Kei-kun also..."

"Yes! Do you remember!"

"And...and we promised that we will go to Tokyo U together..." He said to her.

"O me, O my! You do remember!"

"Yes! It's all coming back to me! You must have been my promised girl!" He proclaimed to her.

"Huh?"

"That must be it! I have it all figured out now! Thanks...um...Mutsumi was it? Thanks a lot! I need to go tell the others..." He said running the opposite direction to the Hinata Inn.

"O my...looks like it all hasn't sunken in yet...maybe I should have mentioned Naru..."

**

"Papa!" Sarah called, running towards Seta.

"Hey there Sarah. You're all grown up aren't you. Hey there you guys, have you seen Keitaro anywhere?" Seta asked.

"Not here....we have quite the predicament with him right now though..." Kitsune said to him.

"O really? Like what?" He asked them.

"Amnesia"

"Amnesia huh...well, you guys are trying to bring back his memory right?"

"Yeah...but easier said than done..." Motoko said.

"Well, you guys better do it sooner rather than later. I've seen cases where the person with amnesia couldn't recover from it..." Seta said to them.

"You mean..."

"Yeah...never learned about his past or the present...quite sad because he ended up marrying some girl even though he was married..." He told them. Just then, Mutsumi and Keitaro both walked in holding each other's hands.

"O, there you are part timer." Seta said as everyone was scared stiff.

"Huh? Who are you?" Keitaro asked.

"O yes...I'm sorry, I'm Seta...wait, you don't remember...." He said, laughing.

"No duh Papa!" Sarah said, hitting him on the back of the head.

"Hey...not that I think about it...there is a way that I can bring back his memory..." He said, taking out a wine bottle.

"Really? Can you do it?" Shinobu asked.

"Sure can..." He said, striking Keitaro down with the bottle of wine.

"Kyahh! What did you do! We said help him not kill him!" Shinobu yelled.

"Don't sweat it, if you get amnesia by hitting your head against something that's hard, then it should work the same way bringing memories back. Either that, or I just gave him a concussion." He said, scratching his head.

"That's not a good thing!"

"Look! Keitaro's coming to!" Su called. The all crowed around Keitaro who was getting up from broken glass.

"Urg...what just happened?"

"Seta smashed you down with a wine bottle...you ok Keitaro?" Kitsune asked.

"Huh? Yeah...I'm fine Kitsune..." He said to her. "Hey, you know my name..." She said to him.

"Of course I know your name...why shouldn't I? I mean, I known you for more than five years along with everyone else..." He said to them as they stood there in shock.

"He remembers!"

"We're not in trouble anymore!"

"We can go back to our lives now!" They cheered, walking off.

"Huh? Wait! Where are you guys going? Did I miss anything Seta?" He asked, turning to him.

"Er....nothing really. In fact, I even forgot why I'm here now....I suggest that you go get yourself clean up, you smell like alcohol." Seta said to him, walking outside.

[Gee...I wonder what's everyone deal today...] Keitaro thought.

**

Keitaro was in his room, changing into a different pair of clothes when Naru walked in with a sleeping Keli.

"Hey Keitaro, what up?" She said to him.

"Huh? O...um...fine? I guess...how about you?" He asked, quickly buttoning his shirt.

"O, great. My parents were really trilled to see Keli again, and so was little sister. You know, we should go out tomorrow. We'll walk, eat lunch, watch a movie. Wouldn't it be great?" Naru asked him. Keitaro turned and looked at her.

"Um...that's great and all....but who are you?"

End of Chapter 6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems that Keitaro hasn't fully recovered from his amnesia as he has forgotten about his wife Naru and his daughter Keli. Naru now is trying desperately to restore his memory of her before this turn of events is permanent. Next time, Chapter 7: Too little, too late!
