Author's Time: Ok! After reading Love Hina Vol. 13, I have a couple of words to say. SHIT! There goes my Haruka/Seta paring! Man, I was trying to write this story after the volume all together. But o well...I'll still continue the fanfic with Seta and Haruka still single. And for all you ppl that didn't read Vol. 13....OOPS! SORRY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a starry, crescent moon night as Keitaro walked down the endless steps that lead to the Hinata Inn. He walked into the café and looked around.
"That's odd...no one seems to be here...Haruka? You here!" He called. To his surprise, Haruka was here and she walked down the stairs towards him.
"God...do you have to talk so loudly...?" She said, rubbing her head.
"Heh, sorry. Just returning an apron is all." He said.
"Thanks...want some tea before you go?" She asked.
"Um...sure, why not." Keitaro thanked her as he sat down on the couch. As he sat, he felt something in between the cushions. He reached under and pulled out a bra.
"Um...yours? You know, you should really put these kinds of things in your room..." He said as Haruka snatched the bra away from him. Out of curiously, he reached again and this time...pulled out a white jacket. He held it outstretched and took a long look at it.
"Kinda big for mine...hey, you know who's this is?" Keitaro asked her as she suddenly dropped her bra.
"Give it to me!" She said, cashing him.
"Whoa! What's your problem?" He asked her. Then it just hit him. He placed two and two together.
"Whoa...I didn't think that you're still dating Aunt! So who is it? Is there name writin on the tag?" He asked, inspecting the jacket.
"Keitaro! For the love of God! Don't read the tag!" She yelled at him as he got closer to the tag. Just then, he stopped.
"Heh...fine...if it's that important to you then..."
"Huh? Company? Hey! I wonder where I lost that!" Seta said, standing at the doorway, pointing at the white jacket.
Chapter 10: A Snowy Beginning
Haruka, Seta, and Keitaro stood in place as they exchanged glances at each other.
"You're going out with Seta? When did this happen?" Keitaro asked them.
"O come on, you knew it would happen some time around!" Seta said to him. Haruka punched him into the wall.
"Shut up right now! Keitaro, you can't tell the others. This is our little secret. Please don't tell them." Haruka begged.
"Huh? Why? They should have the right to know right...O, alright. I won't tell..." He said to them. Haruka and Seta sighed with relief.
"But man...who would have thought..."
"O can it. Don't you have to go to sleep or something?"
**
And so, the next day...
"Hey? Haruka? You there?" Keitaro called, opening the door to the Hinata Café. Seta and Haruka both walked down the stairs together wearing bathrobes when they suddenly stopped to see Keitaro.
"O, it's just Keitaro. I was worried for a minute there..." Haruka said as they laughed together.
"Ha ha...very funny. Don't forget I could easily bust you guys." Keitaro said to them closing the door.
"Not funny..." Haruka said to him.
"Anywho, I'm here for business... we ran out of tea and I was hoping you would give us some more..." Keitaro asked her.
"Of course...let me get the..." Haruka started but then was interrupted by Keitaro.
"Seta! You have to hide!"
"Why?" He asked him.
"Because Naru came along with me to get more tea!" Keitaro yelled.
"Quickly! In here!" Haruka pushed him into a closet. Just then, the doors opened and Naru stood there.
"O, um...hey Naru. Keitaro said that you guys ran out of tea." Haruka said to her.
"Yeah, knowing Keitaro he probably didn't get the job done, so I'm here to finish it." Naru said.
"Hey! I'm over here!" Keitaro called. Naru looked at him.
"See? Didn't get the job done...." She said.
"So, you keep the tea in here right? I'll get it.." Naru said to them as she walked to the closet where Seta hid. Both Keitaro and Haruka started to panic.
"Keitaro! You have to stop her! She's your wife!" Haruka whispered to him.
"Er...fine. But you owe me big time aunt!" He whispered back as he got up. Right when Naru was about to turn the doorknob, Keitaro grabbed her and pulled her into a hug.
"Heh, that's sweet and all Keitaro, but we need tea..." She said, again reaching for the doorknob.
"Naru! Er...ahem, Naru...you look lovely today..." Keitaro whispered to her. Naru turned around with a faint blush.
"Heh, thank you...now for tea.." She said.
"Ack! Naru! Your lips...um, are like candy...and I have a really bad desire for sweets..." Keitaro whispered. Naru was now in a full blush.
"Um...that's...that's good and all but I really need to get the tea and..." Haruka stood up.
"Come on Naru, let's go to bed..." He said to her.
"Um...but it's 9:45 am Keitaro..."
"Erk! Naru! Dammit, a man has needs!" Keitaro called, picking her up and walking out the door. Haruka watched as the two left.
"Whew...nice one Keitaro..." Haruka said under her breath. Kate stepped out of the way as Keitaro and Naru both stormed out of the café.
"Um...Miss Urashima? I'm here for the tea." She said to her. Haruka let out a sigh.
"It's going to be a long day..."
**
Two months have past and the winter was at full force. Cold sunny days and extremely cold snowy days. Shinobu, Kai, and Kate were hard at work with their studies. With the center exams coming up, they're studying as much as they can. As for the Inn itself, business was slow. And as for our favorite married couple...they were warming each other up next to the fireplace.
Keitaro and Naru kissed each other deeply as they lay on the couch next to a roaring fire.
"O come on you two...there's no need for that...the heater is on..." Kitsune said to them as she walked passed them. Keitaro peeked up from the couch.
"Sorry about that Kitsune...kinda got lost in the mood and..." Keitaro started to explain.
"O stop beating about the bush, you threw Naru down and had your way with her..." Kitsune called as she entered the kitchen. Keitaro had a blank face.
"Well...that's not half true..." He said to himself. "Ah, that reminds me... I still have to give my text books to Shinobu and the others..." Keitaro just remembered as he got up and walked to his room. Naru got up and stared as Keitaro vanished.
"What a one track mind..." Naru said to herself as Keli climbed on top of her. "Come on Keli! Let's go play in the snow!"
**
"Man...Sure is cold today..." Shinobu said as she held her blanket close.
"I heard that it'll be colder today. Maybe chances of snow fall today." Kai said to her, writing down stuff in his notebook. Kate threw another book over her shoulder.
"Ahh...that was a good workbook..." She said, laying back.
"I'll get more tea..." Shinobu told them, getting up and leaving the room.
"Hey Bell, remember what we use to do days like these back at the orphanage?" Kai said to her.
"You mean fight in line for the hot cocoa?" She said to him.
"Er...no. That was the second thing we use to do. But we use to walked outside and have a competition on who can dodge the most snowballs." Kai hinted. Kate looked at him.
"Kai...you know we can't do that. We have to study! The center exam is coming! We don't have time for fun! Besides...it's not noon yet...and we always do it noon time." Bell said to him.
"Yeah...you're right..." Just then, Keitaro opened the door with a whole stack of books with him. He dropped them down on the table and whipped the sweat off his forehead.
"Here you go you guys. These books helped me study for the entrance exam when I was a ronin. I hope it helps you guys like it did for me." He said, walking off. Kai looked through the books.
"Wow, he has a whole lot of them..." Bell said as she looked at the titles. Just then, a big, blue feather fell from one of the books. Kai picked it up and examined it very closely.
"Hey, check out what I found Bell! It's a blue, really huge feather..." Kai said to her as she turned around.
"What a lovely feather..." She said in awe.
"Here...you can have it." He said, handing it to her. Bell blushed and took the feather.
"Thank you..."
**
"Heh, thanks again to coming with me Kai..." Shinobu said as they walked together down the street to the Hinata Inn.
"Don't mention it...I was planning to go to the book store anyways..." He said to her. As they walked along, a snow flake fell from the sky and landed on Shinobu's nose.
"Kai look...it's snowing." She said, rubbing her nose. Kai opened his hand and let a couple of snow flakes fall into his hand.
"You know...this snow reminds me about my childhood...It was snowing like this when I first came to the orphanage...." He said aloud.
"Um....well, I ah...Ahchoooo!" Shinobu sneezed.
"You ok?" Kai asked her.
"Yeah...I'm fine...let's just go home. Even with this jacket, I'm still cold." She said. All of a sudden, she felt a burst of heat fill her body. She looked around and saw that Kai has removed his jacket and placed it around her.
"Kai! What are you doing? You'll get sick! And we can't miss the center exams because of illness!" Shinobu yelled at him, taking off his jacket.
"Don't worry about it Shinobu. I'll be fine...You need it more than me right now. After all, you did catch a fever not to long ago. I don't want you to get sick and run the risk again..." Kai said to her as they continued to walk on.
[That idiot...the only thing he is risking is his chance of getting into Tokyo U. But I am thankful that he gave his jacket...He's so kind-hearted, sweet, and caring...and cute...and he seems really dreamy when he...wait...what am I thinking?] Shinobu thought to herself as she looked at Kai. [Could it be that...nah...or could it?]
**
"Part-timer? You there?" Seta called.
"O hi there Seta, what brings you here?" Keitaro asked as he puts the chairs back in the kitchen.
"Um...I came by to tell you that...well, maybe I should tell everyone about this..." He said, as he went to rally everyone. Everyone was sitting in the living room as Seta stood up in front of them. He cleared his throat and started.
"Ok...I called you all here because I have an announcement..." He said.
"Are you going to go back to America?"
"Are you going to be in an action movie?"
"Are you going finally marry Haruka and...Ow!" Kitsune said as Seta threw a can as her.
"No, not that. Keitaro here is famous..." Seta told them.
"Famous?!?"
"That's right. This worthless do nothing is famous in American now. The discovery he found was the missing link to a civilization or something or other...but that's not important. What is important is that if Keitaro goes back to America, he has it made. They are willing to give you over a million American dollars to work on the excavation and to work in their laboratories." He said to Keitaro as he got pats all around.
"Way to go Keitaro!"
"I knew you would do something right for once!"
"We always had faith in you!" They said.
"Yes, and all he needs to do is sign this and its official....but there is one thing..." Seta said, taking out the papers. Kitsune snatched it away from him and gave it to Keitaro, who signed it immediately.
"Alright Keitaro! You had it made dude! A multi-millionaire!" Kisune proclaimed.
"Ahh...my big break as finally come..." Keitaro cried.
"Keitaro! You didn't let me finish! There was a side effect to this. By signing that paper, you agree to move to America...permanently!" He said to them as they fall silent.
"Permanently?"
End of Chapter 10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A decision has to be made in the next chapter of this story. Keitaro has to decide if he wants to go to Amercia and lose his friends, or stay at the Hinata Inn and lose a once in a life time opportunity. All this and more in the next Chapter 11: Fame or Family.
