~~~
In space, the spaceship Hinata is floating in the sky. It seems to be pilot less. In fact, it technically is. Let us go inside the ship… Inside, there is an argument going on…
Naru glared at Keitaro. "… Do you mean that you have absolutely no control over this ship?…"
Keitaro gulped. "Yeah…"
"… God, you are pathetic…"
"I'm sorry…" Keitaro whimpered, lowering his head.
Naru patted him on the head. "It's okay… It can't be helped…"
Keitaro raised his head, but accidentally ended up face first in between her breasts. "Erk… Sorry?…"
Naru glared at him. "You… pervert!!!" Naru screamed, kicking Keitaro over into the next room. He went bouncing along the walls of the hallway before landing in the hot springs.
Keitaro stood up and looked around. "Oh, wow!! I didn't know this thing had an artificial hot spring! Grandma sure had it made…" He then turned around to see Shinobu relaxing in the hot spring. "Eeee…"
Shinobu looked up from washing herself to see Keitaro. "S-sempai?!…" Shinobu stuttered, quickly getting out of the spring and covering herself.
"S-sorry!" Keitaro blushed, covering his face.
"U-uh…" Shinobu blushed redder than a tomato, and ran off, quickly picking up her clothes.
Keitaro sweat dropped. "Errr…"
~~~
Meanwhile, in a lab on a nearby asteroid, a mysterious figure spotted the Hinata floating through space in it's microscope. "Ooh… New experiments… Heh heh heh…"

Hinata Star
Episode 2: The Genius, the Turtle, and the Fox
"Yay!!!" the dark skinned girl cried out. "New playmates!!!" the girl was about 13, had blonde hair, green eyes, and seemed to have an eternal blush on her face. She was wearing a white shirt, brown shorts, and a lab coat. She smiled. "Hee hee… Now to see if my electro-magnet is still working!" She skipped over to a large, silver machine and pushed a button on it. The machine hummed, signifying that it had been activated. She giggled, thinking if the fun she would have with these new 'playmates'…
~~~
"Die!!" Naru screamed, punching Keitaro into oblivion. "I'm sorry!!! It was an accident!!!"
"How could you peek on poor Queen Shinobu?!"
Shinobu was still blushing, now dressed in a light blue t-shirt and light blue sweatpants. "It's okay… I'm sure Sempai didn't mean it… And please, just call me Shinobu…"
Naru calms down, and sighs. "Alright… You okay, Keitaro?" she looked at Keitaro to see him in a smoking pile of his former self. "Er…"
Suddenly, there was a huge jolt. They were being attacked. Keitaro snapped back into his normal self and looked through the recently discovered security cameras. "Gah!! We're being attacked!!"
A female voice spoke through the communications system. Keitaro turned on the video. It was Mitsune. "Hello there! If it wouldn't be any trouble, could you give yourselves up? It would make this soooo much easier…"
Keitaro began to speak, when he was pushed out of the way by Naru. "Mitsune Konno?! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Keitaro blinked from his spot on the ground. "You know her?!"
Naru nodded. "Sadly… We used to go to middle school together…"
Mitsune glared. "Heey…" then she smiled. "You were that runt, Naru Narusegawa, aren't you?…"
"Runt?!" Naru screamed.
"Ha ha ha!!! So boy, what's your name?…"
"I'm Keitaro… I'm 19 years old…"
"Wha?? You look like you're 14!!"
"… I get that a lot…"
"Call me Kitsune… How would you like for me to make you a real man, eh?…"
Keitaro blushed. "Well, um…"
"Hold on… I'm getting some weird magnetic signals…"
Keitaro checked a few screens. "Gah!! We're getting dragged in by something!!"
Shinobu blinked. "Maybe an electro-magnet?…"
Mitsune shook her head. "Impossible… The only person with one of those is--"
Everyone's eyes widened, and they yelled in unison. "Kaolla Su?! The evil child genius?!"
Keitaro shivered. "I heard she experiments on humans…"
"We are all going to skinned alive or something!!" Naru screamed. She then pointed at Keitaro. "This is your fault!!!"
Keitaro coughed. "My fault?!"
"Yes!!! It's your ship, so it is your fault!!"
Both ships came closer and closer to the giant asteroid…
~~~
Keitaro woke up upside down. "Aaaahhh!!! What's going on here?!" He was tied upside down, in his underwear. "And where are my clothes?!"
Kaolla Su popped up from nowhere. "Hiya! Wanna play?"
"Little girl, you shoulf get out of here!! Kaolla Su is gonna get us and experiment on us!! She's a horrible child genius!"
"Silly… I am Kaolla Su!!"
Keitaro gulped. "You… are?…"
"Yep! Hee hee!!!"
Naru glared at Keitaro. "You idiot!! Now you've doomed us all!" Naru, Shinobu, and Kitsune were in the same state as Keitaro.
"Sorry…" Keitaro looked to Kitsune, who was wearing a thong. He got a nosebleed. Naru glared at him.
"Hee hee!" Kaolla Su laughed. "We are going to have lots of fun! You are all now my play mates!"
"Whhhaaaaa???!!!" Keitaro screamed.
Kaolla Su smiled. "C'mon, let's play!!!" Kaolla Su then pulled a lever. Keitaro and Kitsune were untied and dumped on the ground.
"Owww…" Keitaro moaned. He then quickly got up and ran down a hallway.
Kitsune got up. "Hey, wait up!" She then chased after him.
Naru twitched and yelled. "Hey!!! Don't just leave us here!!! Come back!!!"
Kaolla Su pouted. "Awww… Don't be like that…" She then smiled, and spread her arms. "We are going to have so much fun!!"
Shinobu sniffled. "Please let us go!"
Kaolla Su thought for a moment. "Mmm… Okay! I think I'll check on my other playmates! Let them go, assistant Tama-chan!" Kaolla Su then pranced down the hallway towards the others.
"Myuh." The turtle said, pressing another button that released Naru and Shinobu, then flew down the hallway after the others.
Naru raised an eyebrow. "Did that turtle just fly?…"
~~~
Keitaro panted as he stopped running. "That Kaolla Su girl is crazy!!!"
Kitsune panted. "Yeah, really…" She held up several bottles of Sake. "She's waiting perfectly good alcohol!!"
Keitaro face faulted. "Where did you get that?!"
"That insane girl was using it for fuel!!" She then began drinking the Sake.
"Is that healthy?…"
"*hiccup* Hello, there…"
"Eeek! You're drunk!!"
Kitsune smiled, then pushed Keitaro on the ground and sat on his belly. "Tell me, Keitaro… What's on your mind right now?…" She slurred, putting her hand down his boxers.
"Hey, stop that!!"
"Eww, kinky…" Kaolla Su said, hanging upside down from a pipe and watching.
"Looks like we've got an audience…" Kitsune smirked.
"Hey, put that back!!!" Keitaro stuttered.
Shinobu stared at Kitsune and Keitaro. "Sempai… How could you?…"
"Shinobu!! It's not--"
"Keitaro…" Naru growled, raising her fist.
"Aww, don't hurt me!!"
"… I won't waste my time on you…" Naru said, putting her fist down.
Keitaro sighed as Kitsune got off of him.
Suddenly, sirens went off. "Kaolla Su!!! Come out with your hands up! We have you surrounded!"
Kaolla Su frowned. "Curses!!! Foiled again!!! Looks like we'll have to find a new base, and new playmates… Come, Tama-chan!" Kaolla Su yelled, doing cartwheels and disappearing down the dark hallway.
"Myuh!" Tama-chan called, then flew after Su.
Keitaro raised an eyebrow. "Did that turtle just fly?…" He then shrugged and they all ran down the hallway.
~~~
Hours later, they were all on the Hinata. Except for Kitsune, who was back on her ship. They had found their clothes, and were once again sialing endlessly. Keitaro sighed, sitting in the laundry room. "What a day… And I still don't know how to get control of this ship… I'm a loser…" He felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Naru with some tea.
Naru smiled slightly. "Hi there…"
"Um, hi…" Keitaro blushed.
"Here…" Naru said, handing him a cup of tea. "Shinobu made it… It's really good…"
"Thank you…"
All was quiet. The two looked at each other. Suddenly…
"Yahoo!!!" Kaolla Su yelled out, popping up from the nearby laundry shoot.
Keitaro gasped, spilling his tea in his lap. "Gyah!!!"
Naru twitched. "That… had to hurt…" She then turned to Kaolla Su. "What are you doing here?!"
Su smiled. "Tama-chan and I needed a place to stay, so we decided to come with you!"
Tama-chan popped out of a pile of clothes and waved with her… flipper? "Myuh."
Keitaro painfully stood up, as did Naru. He looked at Su. "But--"
Kaolla Su hopped out of the chute and put her arms around Keitaro and Naru. "But what? It will be fun! We can be lovers!"
"Er…" Naru blinked.
Shinobu walked into the laundry room. "Umm… Did I miss something?…"
Keitaro sighed again. "Why me?… Why me?…"
~~~
Meanwhile, in some bar, Kitsune was getting wasted again. "Hith meh…" Kitsune slurred.
The bar tender gave her a look. "I think you've had enough…"
"…" Kitsune glared at the bar tender.
"Okay! Okay!!" the bar tender gave in, pouring her another glass.
Kitsune drank it in one gulped and slammed the glass down. "Damn you Keitharo… I'll catcth yuh someday…" She then started laughing, and fell out of her seat. "Ow… Mah ash hurths…"
To Be Continued…
Ending: Because (Megumi Hayashibara) English translation in .
(The music starts up. The video consists of Tama-chan flying in the background, while still shots of Keitaro, Naru, Shinobu, Mitsune/Kitsune, Kaolla Su, Motoko, and Haruka slowly pan across the screen.)
hitomi wo tojite kaze no koe wo kikou
atatakai oka ni saku hana no tane
yukifukai machi he todoke ni yuku yo
Close your eyes--Let's listen to the voice of the wind
On the warm hill, the flower seeds bloom
Let's go tell the snowy streets
mitsumenakereba shinjinai hito ni mo
kono beranda nimo haru no hizashi ni
chiisana hanabira yureru hi ga kuru
We've got to show them--the unbelieving people,
Even this veranda--in spring's sunlight
The trembling little flower's day has come
onaji sora kara yasashii hikari
onaji sora heto yasashii kimochi
aisuru hito wo aisuru koto wo
mitsuketa toki ni hajimete wakaru koto ga aru (Ah)
Because......kimi ni aete
From the same sky, this gentle light
To the same sky, these gentle feelings
The people I love--the things I love
Since I found them, I'm beginning to understand (Ah)
Because......I met you
(Music fades out.)
