Yane no ue de sora o aogu, hizashi wa uraraka
miageru sora, karadajuu genki ga minagitteku

THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! ikiterunda!
yamerarenai, akirameru da nante

Tohou ni kureta kinou ni sayonara
futsufutsu to wakiagaru kono kimochi
nando demo yomigaeru, hana o sakaseyou
omoi dewa itsumo amai nige basho
dakedo tachi kire, asu o ikiru tame
shukufuku no toki wa kuru, te o nobashite

Uruwashi no yawaraka na hada, imada te wa todokazu

THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! ikiterunda!

Dotou no hibi wa tsuzuku, doko made mo

Te o nobashite, ryoute agete!

Episode 2 Hinata Women

Day 4

"Eh? This was your grandmother's place originally?" The two men sat across from each other in the room with the label kanrinin on it. It was Keitaro's room.

Keitaro smiled and nodded. "Hai. Grandma Hina left to tour the hot springs of the world. I guess you could say chasing after dreams is a Urashima trait. And I managed mine of getting into Todai."

Taisuke grinned and nudged the older man. "So Mutsumi-senpai and Naru-senpai are boht Todai students? Are you and Naru an item?"

The smile that slid across the former Ronin's face was a definent give away. "Hai, for about a year and a half now. It took a lot before it really happened. But we did eventually get married."

Taisuke had a truly mystified look on his face. "I can't believe all the things you told me are true. Suu and her brohter, Motoko and her sister, Moe-chan, it's all so amazing! I wish-" His words were cut off at the sound of a resoundng boom.

(Fade out to the courtyard)

Everyone except Taisuke just sighed as the door of the crashed van opened. Out came a man about Haruka's age, 30, with blood streaming down his forehead. He just calmly smiled and said, "Hello." And after him came an american girl of about 12 or so.

Haruka sauntered over and bashed him on the head. "Welcome back." From his spot on the ground he smiled up at Haruka. "Who's the new face?" Haruka sighed and walked off. Taisuke walked over and helped the man up. The genuine surprise on each's face when they got a good lok at each other lasted but a moment. "Seta-san." Seta just grinned and replied, "Tai-chan."

Everyone was surprised except for Motoko who just seemed suspicious. Kitsune slid across the ground and stopped between them. She rubbed her chin for effect. "Ahhh...so Seta-san knows Tai-chan. Interesting interesting. How's that hmmm?" Seta-san just smiled and turned around.

"Sorry, I just came to drop Sara off before I went on another dig. My flight leaves soon so I can't stay to chat." With one last wave he walked off. Taisuke couldn't quite figure out why Kitsune the fox looked so hurt by this. Haruka just looked her normal bored self but there had been something about her and Seta...he shook it off and turned around nearly running headlong into Shinobu.

"Ah...Gomen Shinobu-chan." The blue haired girl blushed and looked down at her feet.

"It's....it's okay Taisuke-chan." Taisuke grinned and pulled her chin up to look at her.

"Call me Tai-chan. Please?" He looked into her eyes and caught himself before he sighed. She was too pretty and he too unused to being around pretty girls of his own age, or pretty girls at all. Besides his eldest brother's wife. He blushed as she kept looking back and both turned away at about the same time stammering "umms" and "ahhs". The rest of the gang saw being older and more used to such things just gave each other knowing smiles and headed on inside. Taisuke and Shinobu were starting to go back in when Suu jumped off the balcony and bounded over to them.

"WHEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Taisuke grunted in surprise when she landed on his shoulders and then settled there with her legs dangling over his chest. It seemed surprising that he could keep stand with her on his shoulders since both were about the same size. Motoko just noted it and continued inside. Taisuke on the other hand was not prepared to have a pretty girl just hop on his shoulders and dangle her legs in front of him. His nose started to bleed.

In some sort of spinning manuever he managed to get out from under her without dropping her to the ground and then stumbled back into Hinatasou making excuses for his hasty retreat. On the other hand he managed to back up so far that he ended up right at the door to the hot spring which suddenly opened revealing Naru in only a towel. In a state of complete shock Taisuke's nose began to practically gush blood but somehow he managed to dodge the fist Naru aimed at him. He walked off as fast as possible without seeming to retreat and hear a cry. He turned to find Naru, fully clothed, pointing at him. Motoko was next to her and looking really upset. Suu-chan had just showed up with something in her hand that looked suspiciously like a controller.

"Mecha Tama Chan 6! Goooo!!!!!!" Out of nowhere a massive turtle shaped metallic beast showed up and started spewing fireballs at Taisuke. They seemed surprised when Taisuke reacted instantly springing from wall to way deftly avoiding each fireball. The Mecha Tama flew past him and he landed safely on the ground. Motoko yelled loudly and attacked viciously with her boken. The wooden blade was a blur of motion each move an attempt to reach Taisuke's flesh and cause harm. It didn't touch him. He danced backwards with a look of shock and enjoyment on his face as he dodged for all he was worth. Motoko just kept coming. Finally she spoke as the two continued their elaborate dance, now with her attacking, now with him, but usually the first way. "I knew it! I recognized that name! I wasn't certain that it wasn't just coindcidence but it is true. You are a member of the most prestigious martial arts family in all of Japan. One of the most famous dojos in the entire world, top martial arts training center anywhere. The only rival of which is..."

Taisuke grinned as he continued his battle with her. Her ki was enormous and she far more experience then he. It was exhilirating but he wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer let alone beat her. "Shinmei Ryu. The Aoyoma family, I recognized it at once, and your huge ki gave it away as well. I admit that I've met my superior in you. But that doesn't mean I give up." He smiled and redoubled his efforts to beat her, but his increased efforts were only tiring him faster. And to make matters worse Naru showed up with that award winning punch of hers that knocked him right into a wall and let him slide down it. He got up his body shaky. He was almost out of ki and he was faced with bad odds. Motoko raised her boken and gathered ki for her "Zankuusen" technique while Suu-chan positioned Mecha Tama for an attack, Naru just held her fists at the ready.

Faced with a master swordswoman who could manipulate her own ki into a telekenetic force, a girl with a giant turtle robot that launched fireballs from its mouth, and a girl who could knock you into orbit with one punch, he did the only thing that made sense. He ran. The explosions of fireballs, curses from Naru, and strange whipcracks form the Zankuusen drew Keitaro's attention. He looked down over the balcony as the three girls chased Taisuke all over the dorm. Sighing he gave up. Tama-chan floated up to him and held her leg out with the little message he had rolled up and placed on it. "Myu."

"You were supposed to deliver this to Taisuke." The cute little turtle just blinked at him and once again said. "Myu."

Down below Taisuke shouted as he ran for his life. "MYU IS NOT A WORD!"
