Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina.
To the readers: Okay, now a few notes to reviewers:
Knight's Shadow: Done! XD
Baka-Alaskan: Want more? You got it!
Kippenberger: Y'know, just for that, I think I might make it one. I knew someone was gonna say that eventually, so I was prepared… There wasn't really gonna be romance, but now… Heh heh heh… =P But don't worry, nothing will go past implying things, although I DO like Naru/Keitaro… I'm a sucker for canon couples.
Tokyo fox: Thanks for the advice. But yeah, this is just a small ficcy. I'm not very good at writing yet, but I'm slowly getting better. My chapters get longer and more detailed each separate story! Thanks again for the advice!
Thank you all for reading! ^_^

watashi ni wa watashi dake no (Motoko is shown practicing her kendo)
uchuu ga kanarazu aru (Keitaro is punched by Naru, he goes flying, then lands in his seat in the control room. He is now surrounded by the girls, sitting in their respective seats. The music fades out.)
~~~
Once again, the Hinata was aimlessly floating through space. Inside, in the control room, Keitaro sighed. The control room looked like any control rooms, and there were 8 seats. "Why?… What did I do to deserve to this? I'm lost in space with 2 insane girls, the queen, and I have a bounty on my head…"
Naru twitched as she walked by the room. "Insane am I?…"
Keitaro's eyes widened. "Ack!!! I'm sorry, Naru! I didn't mean it that way!"
"… That's what I thought…" she then walked off.
"Whew…" Keitaro sighed, sinking in his seat. He then felt something under his seat. He sat up, and reached under. He pulled out Tama-chan, who had swirly eyes. "Eh?"
"Myuh…" Tama-chan groaned.
"Oops… sorry…"
~~~
Hinata Star
Episode 3: The Planet of Kendo
Tama-chan snapped back into consciousness. "Myuh!"
"You okay?…" Keitaro asked.
Tama-chan nodded. "Myuh!"
"Alright then… You be more careful!"
Tama-chan then flew down the hallway.
Keitaro shook his head. He then took out a book. "The only one of my possessions I have left…" he sighed, then began reading it.
Suddenly, Kaolla Su hopped into the control room. She smiled, then ran over to Keitaro, jumped into the air and kicked him in the head. "Hello!!!"
"Wah!" Keitaro screamed, then grabbed the back of his head. "What was that for?!"
"I was just saying 'hello'!!!"
"Well, could you think of a less… painful way of saying it?…"
"Maaaybe…"
"What are you doing in here, anyway?"
"I should be asking you the same question…"
"Um… I OWN the ship… I have to try and find a way to control this thing!"
"Oh… Any luck?"
"No… Do you think you can help?…"
"Hmmm…" Su pondered, pulling out a screwdriver. "Let's see!!"
"No, Su!!"
"Relax… Just a little adjustments…" Su's screwdriver got closer to a panel near the steering wheel. After it got two inches away, a small electric bolt shocked Su. "Eek!" Su coughed up some smoke, her hair frizzy and her skin lightly singed. "Ow…" Su then fell to the ground, swirly eyed. "No more bananas, big brother…"
"Um… You okay?…" Keitaro asked, leaning over Su.
"Big brother!!!" Su screamed, jumping up and wrapping her legs around Keitaro, cracking several bones in his body.
"A…agh!!!" Keitaro screamed.
Suddenly, Naru and Shinobu ran into the control room. Naru twitched. "I knew it…"
Shinobu whimpered. "Sempai…"
"Ack… Help me…" Keitaro cried. A few more bones cracked. "Ow…"
Naru raised an eyebrow "Hey, wait… I think she's hurting him!" Naru rushed over, trying to pry Su off of Keitaro.
"Big… brother…" Su muttered, slipping down to the ground and falling asleep.
"I'm… free…" Keitaro cried out, falling to the ground.
The Hinata was slowly descending…
~~~
Meanwhile, on a small planet somewhere, a girl was practicing her kendo moves. She sniffed the air. She twitched violently. "It can't be… It can't…" She sniffed again. "But it is, unfortunately…" She glared. The foul stench of… man…
~~~
Suddenly, Keitaro woke up. He looked around for the others, they weren't there. He got up and looked around. He couldn't find them anywhere. He blinked. "Where could they be?…" He walked off the ship, when his throat was met with a cold blade. "What are you doing here, you disgusting man?!…" the girl said. She had black hair, and was wearing a shrine maiden outfit.
"Wah!! What did I do this time?!"
"Nothing… Except being a man!!"
"What does that have to do with anything?…"
"… My father abandoned me…"
"Huh?"
"We were visiting this planet, when a storm came around. I got left behind. My mother and sister wanted to come back for me, but my father… He said it wasn't worth the risk… I wasn't worth the risk, his own flesh and blood…"
"I'm sorry…" Keitaro sighed.
The girl pressed her blade against his throat a bit harder, but not enough to draw blood. "Shut up!! I hate all men!!!"
"Motoko!!!" Shinobu said, running up with Su, Naru, and Tama-chan following. "Stop!! Don't hurt him!!"
Naru laughed. "Yeah, he's harmless…"
Motoko growled. "No!!! All men must die!!"
"Please don't kill me!!!" Keitaro cried.
"… You are too pathetic to kill…" Motoko let down her blade and sheathed it.
"Thank you…" Keitaro bowed.
"You are all welcome to stay…" She then pointed at Keitaro. "Except you… I want you to leave immediately!"
"Wait… How do you survive here?"
"There is a special fruit that grows on this planet… I have been living in a nearby cave."
"Ahh…"
"Mwahahaha!!! I have finally caught with you, Keitaro!!" a voice said.
"Oh no…" Keitaro muttered.
"Yes!! It is I, 'Kistune, the Demon Woman'!!"
Motoko readied her katana. "I have heard of you… You give woman a bad name!"
Kitsune smirked. "Is that so?…" she pulled out a gun. "Well then, I have business to take care of… Step aside. I'm after the boy and 2 of the girls."
Su took this time to wonder off somewhere.
Motoko put her katana in front of Kitsune. "You can take the male, but leave the girls alone!!"
Kitsune smirked. "Hey, are you a les--"
Motoko blushed. "No!! I just… dislike men… I have my reasons!"
"Uh huh, sure…"
"Grrr… I challenge you!!"
~~~
Meanwhile, Kaolla Su was checking out the planet's stats with her recently built equipment. She blinked, and read the screen on the device. Her eyes widened. "Ooooh, not good…" She then ran back towards the others.
~~~
"Now look here, you're costing me a lot of very good Sake, so--"
"I won't allow you to hurt anyone…" Motoko began. She then pointed to Keitaro. "…except him, of course…"
Keitaro frowned. "Hey!"
"Silence!"
"I'll be good…"
Kitsune sighed. "You just want to do this the hard way, don't you?…" she then raised her gun and shot 3 times at Motoko. Motoko easily blocked all three. Kitsune's eyes widened in a bit in surprise. "Hey, you're pretty good!"
Keitaro laughed a bit. "Um, ladies?…"
Both Motoko and Kitsune turned to Keitaro with giant heads. "Stay out of this!!"
Keitaro shrunk back. "Okay, I'm sorry!"
Su suddenly ran into the scene and screamed. "Theplanetisgonnablowupandgoboom!!"
Kitsune blinked. "Wanna say that slower, please?…"
"I did some research on this planet… It is going to explode in… ten minutes!!!"
"WHAT?!" everyone screamed.
Su nodded. "Yep…"
"Well…" Kitsune began. "I guess I'll see you guys later!!" She then ran off, presumably back to her ship.
Keitaro frowned. "Okay, we have to get out of here, soon!" He then ran back to the ship, when Motoko got in his way. The others hopped onto the ship. "A quick duel? If you win, we all go… If you lose, you stay here…"
Keitaro growled. "I don't have time for this!! I don't even have a weapon!"
"What about that at your side?" Motoko motioned to the item at Keitaro's side.
"Oh, this? It's a key…"
"Looks more like a sword… Prepare yourself!" Motoko yelled, slashing at Keitaro.
"Yah!!" Keitaro screamed, dodging. "What are you, crazy?!"
"Maybe… Die, foul beast!!" Motoko screamed as she went for the kill.
"Gyah!!" Keitaro cried out. He then instinctively reached for the key and held it out it front of him. A beam of green light then came from the handle and sliced through Motoko's katana and the front of her outfit. The front then split, revealing her top wrap.
Motoko twitched. "What did you just do?!"
"Gyah!! I'm sorry!!!" Keitaro whimpered, the blade still extended.
Motoko held the front of her outfit together, then picked up the pieces of her blade. "It seems… I have been defeated… for now… I shall require a new weapon when we get to the next planet."
"Well you see… I don't really know how to control the ship…"
"… What kind of man are you?…"
~~~
Keitaro sighed once again. "I can't believe this… Now I've got a crazy kendo girl on the ship…" He watched outside the front window as the "Kendo Planet" exploded. How could this get any worse?…"
Suddenly, he heard sirens. "Keitaro Urashima!! We have you surrounded! Surrender the queen!"
In one of the police ships, Akuma was talking with Kitsune. "Thank you for slowing them down, Kitsune… Your services are no longer needed…"
Kitsune frowned. "Hey!!! What about my payment?!"
Akuma smirked. "What payment?…"
"Bastard!! I'll get you and--" Kitsune was cut off as Akuma shut off the communication system.
The evil advisor clasped his hands together. "Now, my queen… I shall soon get what I desire, once I get my hands on the throne…"
~~~
Keitaro struggled trying to get the ship to work. "Darnit!! Start!! Move!! Please, listen to me!!!" The others looked on sadly as they realized that this was the end of the road…
Shinobu sniffled. "A-Akuma's going to try and kill me again like last time…"
Naru gasped. "Your own advisor tried to kill you?!"
Motoko glared. "See the evils that men do?!"
Kaolla Su thought for a moment. Then, she picked up Tama-chan and ran out of the control room "Come, Tama-chan!!! I have a plan!!" She then ran down the hallways, giggling.
Keitaro clenched his hands. "I can't… Let it end this way… I can't mess up again…" He then looked up at the ceiling. "What should I do, Aunt Haruka?… What should I do?!…"
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.)
