Author's Time: New twist in the story now huh? Hey, I've met two of my readers (accidentally...don't ask how...) and they're been pronouncing Keli's name two different ways. Plz send your pronunciations, stresses, and syllables to me...I just want to know how you are saying her name. THNXS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day...
"So...you would like to rent a room also huh...and your name is?" Kanako asked, holding a clipboard.
"My name is Katherine...but you can just call me Bell..." She said to Kanako. She looked at Bell.
"Bell?"
"Er...never mind...just call me Kate then..." She said
Chapter 8: The New Girl
Kanako walked down the halls of the Hinata Inn as Kate followed right behind her.
"Your room number will be 202 ok? Your neighbor next door is Shinobu Maehara. She's studying so keep your voice down when she and her friend is over." Kanako said to her, bringing Kate to her room.
"Um..ok.." Kate said to her, bringing her stuff into her room.
[Studying huh...but it's the middle of summer...summer school? Maybe I should say hi to her.] She thought to herself, straightening her bandana. She walked out and knocked on Shinobu's door. The door opened and a stressed out Shinobu stood there. Her hair's a mess, there were deep bags under her eyes and it seems that she pulled an all nighter last night.
"Um...may I help you?" Shinobu asked. She looked up at the girl at her door. She had long brown hair, a bandana on, with a green shirt on and a black dress.
"Um...hi! My name's Kate...I'm going to be your neighbor for awhile...and...O man. Your room's a mess!" Kate called, walking into her room. At that instant, she stared to rearrange everything in her room.
"Um...miss? Er...Kate? What are you..." Shinobu started but was cut off by Kate.
"I'm cleaning your room. The landlord told me you're studying for something and there is no way that you can study in this kind of condition." She said; straighten out pictures and neatly stacking books.
"Um...gee, thanks. But I'm not always like this. I'm really neat and tidy...I guess I should take a break once in a while huh..." She said to Kate, also helping out straighten out stuff. In a matter of minutes, Shinobu's room was sparkling clean.
"Wow...thanks for the help Kate." Shinobu thanked.
"No problem. I enjoy cleaning...just what are you studying anyways?" Kate asked.
"O...just studying for a test is all..." She said to her, returning to her desk. Kate walked over and looked at the work she did.
"O no...This is all wrong..."
"Huh?"
"Look...you have to divide here and then bring the decimal three places here..." Kate said to her, pointing at her math problems she got wrong.
[Whoa...she's right...] "Geez...and your good at math...um, thanks again." Shinobu said to her. Just then, Kate took a seat next to her.
"Looks like you need help studying...You don't mind if I help do you? I also need to study because I'm applying for the entrance exam to Tokyo U." She said to Shinobu.
"Tokyo U?!"

Naru laid on her futon, rolling a empty water bottle around as Keli plays with a set of barn animals.
"Moo! Moo! Cluck! Cluck! Roar!" Keli played.
[Heh...I knew that buying her that would really make her happy. With Keitaro gone and all...everything seems...well, boring. Hey, maybe I should go play with Keli. Yeah! Real mother daughter time.] Naru thought, getting up and walking to Keli.
"Hey there my little princess. Can mommy play with..." She started but then saw Keli stack two cows on top of each other.
"Er! Keli! No, don't do that to the animals now...heheheh..." Naru laughed nervously. Keli tilted her head.
"Moo!" She laughed, pointing to Naru. There was a giant sweat drop on her head.
"Hopefully this is a phase she's going through...nothing permanent..." She hoped. Just then, Kitsune's present from their anniversary caught Naru's eye.
[O yeah...I totally forgot about this...maybe because I'm scared of what my best friend would give us...] She thought, opening the present. Inside was a book.
"10001 ways to improve, increase, and give a boost in your sex life..." She read the title.
"Great...who really cares...hey...would you look at that..." She said, looking at the index of the book.
**
"Tokyo U!?" Shinobu said surprised.
"That's right, Tokyo U..." Kate said to her, continuing to work in a workbook.
"Wow, I didn't know you were applying also. I'm going to apply there also!" She said happily. Kate looked back at her paper.
"Well, it seems that you need to do a lot of studying then...you have all those wrong..." Kate said to her as Shinobu stared back at her paper.
"I what?"
"O...and I need another workbook..." She said, tossing the other workbook.
"Hold on! You're done with that one!" Shinobu asked in amazement.
"O, and you might want to look at your number twenty-two again...you got that one wrong..." Kate said to her.
"Ok! That's it...I don't know why you're studying. I mean, those are collage problems! How can you finish those in less than ten minutes? I mean, you're obviously going to get in at the first try anyways." Shinobu said to her.
"Well, you'll be surprise...I did get accepted into Tokyo U..." Kate said to her. Shinobu dropped everything.
"But why are you...!"
"Studying still? Because I didn't accept their invitation...that's why." Kate said.
"I don't get it...why?"
"Because I promised someone that I would go with him to Tokyo U together. When I saw that he didn't make it, I decided to wait another year." Kate said to her.
"Wow, now that's real commitment...who is this guy?" Shionbu asked. Kate took a deep breath.
"Let's see...He has short hair, wearing blue jeans, a collared shirt with a white shirt underneath. He is about my height and was a very jaded past." Kate told her.
"Really? What was he like?"
"Well..."
~Flash Back~
"Hey! What's up?" Kate asked as she sat down next to him.
"Nothing much...just checking out the scenery." He said, smiling at her.
"Well, I was in the kitchen and..."
"They let you in the kitchen?" He asked her.
"Yeah, and I made this sandwich. I cut it in half; one for you and one for me. I also manage to savage some drinks from the fridge." Kate happily said as she handed him a drink.
"You know Kate...this is great. Even though it seems we have it the worse, I know I'll see it through when you're by my side..."
~End of Flash Back~
"Wait a moment...where did this take place?" Shinobu asked.
"O...um...well, in an orphanage. Surprised? Ok, yes, I'm an orphan and the person that I'm talking about was someone I met at the orphanage.
"But let me tell you, we...we were meant to be...but with all of the rules that we had to follow, it would seem imposable to make a real relationship...that's why..."
~Flash Back~
"You do realize that one of us is going to leave this dreaded place right?" Kate asked him. He slowly nodded his head. Kate wrapped her arms around him.
"I don't want to part with you...you know that...and I'll never forget you. But what happens if we do forget. What happens if we do forget what ever happened her long ago..." Kate asked him.
"That will never happen. I'll always remember you. And if we do go, how about this. When we are finally out of here....we'll go to Tokyo U together. We'll take the entrance exam and live happily ever after at Tokyo U." He said to her.
"That sounds good...promise me...when we get out...we'll go to Tokyo U together."
"I promise."
~End of Flash Back~
"Wow...and you held yourself back because he failed..." Shionbu said to her.
"That's right. It's the promise we made together that's making me hold back another year. We promise to go together and I'll wait until he makes it." Kate said to her.
"But what happens if he never makes it?" She asked Kate.
"Well, then I'll never go to Tokyo U...simple as that." She said.
[Wait a minute...where have I heard this story before...] Shinobu thought as she remembered Kai's story. [Could Kai be that person in her story? Wait...then does this mean that Kate is really...] "Kate! I need to know! What is his name!" Shinobu practically screamed, off the floor and in her face.
"What? Why do..."
"I need to know his name. What was his name?" She continued to ask her.
"His...his name is Taro, Taro, ok?" Kate said to her.
[Taro? Kai? I guess they're not the same person...haha, guess that teaches me not to be so jumpy on stuff that isn't my business to begin with.] She thought to herself.
"Um...may I ask why you want to know his name?" Kate asked.
"Well, I thought I heard that story from somewhere else...but I guess I didn't...Well, I have to study some more...like you said, I have a lot to do..."
**
Two Weeks later...
"Hey you guys! We're finally home!" Keitaro called as he was rushed by everyone.
"Keitaro! How's your trip?"
"Welcome back sweetie!"
"How's America? See anyone hot there?"
"What did you bring us?"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Settle down everyone!" Keitaro said to them. Shinobu looked around and notice that Keitaro and Seta are the only ones present.
"Sempai? Where's Kai?" She asked him.
"Ah, Kai. He said that he is going to take a walk around town. Said he'll eat out tonight."
"O I see..." "Well, Keitaro has made a major discovery over at America." Seta said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Really? What did he discover?" Kitsune asked.
"Well, he found a hidden catacomb when we were leaving." Seta said to him.
"O come on Seta...all I did was accidentally lit some dynamite and threw it over my shoulder...it was an honest mistake!" Keitaro said.
"O great...it was a blow accident..." Sarah said. They continued to talk when Keitaro notice that Naru walked upstairs.
"Um...excuse me for a minute..." He said to them as he walked upstairs.
**
"Hey Naru! Happy to see me?" Keitaro asked, walking into their room.
"Of course honey! So how was America?" Naru asked, nose in the book.
"O, it was great! Saw a lot of people. Learned more English. Saw some people at the beach...heheh..." He laughed but then received an evil glare from Naru.
"Not like I did anything! And I got you a present....sorta..." He said, talking out a small package. Naru looked at it and stared back at Keitaro.
"Keitaro...it's a condom...a glow in the dark condom...what kind of freak buys a glow in the dark condom..." Naru asked him.
"Heh...well, actually, my friends said that my wife will love it...and...er...what are you reading?" He asked her.
"Just a book what Kitsune gave us. Hey, check this out...this couple has been married for 34 years and they still do it 5 times..." Naru said to him.
"A month?" He asked.
"No...A week..." They stared at each other.
"Hmm, you know...I was really lonely over at America...how about you and me...go fool around..." He said, slowly approaching her.
"Not now Keitaro...kinda reading something..." She said, getting up and avoiding Keitaro's kiss.
"O come on, I'll nail that book on the ceiling and you'll still be able to read..." He said, again trying to kiss her.
"O...look at that..." She said, again avoiding him.
"Naru...this is probably the only time we have alone together...Keli went with Kanako so we have the whole day to ourselves."
"Yes...but this book is really hard to put down..." She said, sitting down on a chair.
[I don't believe this...she'll rather read a book and be with me...] He cried.
**
It was the middle of the night, it was a full moon and everyone was asleep. Keitaro and Naru were asleep together with Keli asleep from afar, Shinobu knocked out from lack of sleep, and room 202 was unoccupied. On the balcony, Kai was leaning against the guard rail as he looked at the full moon. Kate walked up the stairs to the balcony and saw Kai looking at the moon. She slowly approached him and stood next to him.
"Hello Taro...nice to see you again..." Kate said to him
"Good to see you again....Bell..."
End of Chapter 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next chapter, there's more surprises, more drama, and more fun now that the two have finally met once again. And when Keitaro stumbles onto something that he wasn't suppose to see...well, you'll find out soon enough. Next time, Chapter 9: The Past meet the Present!

Two Weeks later...
"Hey you guys! We're finally home!" Keitaro called as he was rushed by everyone.
"Keitaro! How's your trip?"
"Welcome back sweetie!"
"How's America? See anyone hot there?"
"What did you bring us?"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Settle down everyone!" Keitaro said to them. Shinobu looked around and notice that Keitaro and Seta are the only ones present.
"Sempai? Where's Kai?" She asked him.
"Ah, Kai. He said that he is going to take a walk around town. Said he'll eat out tonight."
"O I see..." "Well, Keitaro has made a major discovery over at America." Seta said, patting him on the shoulder.
