Chapter 3: Waiting for you 4ever!
Hi! Chapter 3 is up! Thx for the reviews everybody, keep it up! Enjoy it while u can and let the date begin!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
6:00 AM the next morning
Keitaro woke up with a start and jumped off his futon with the early sun beating on him. Today was the day!! And to think that hell would freeze before he even got this opportunity!
"Mmmmmmmm I feel soo nervous today,"
He had streaks of tears coming down his face, "I finally get a date for once in my life!!" Then he started running out of his room and yelling through the hallways. Until-
WHAM!! A wooden stick and a fist struck his face so hard that it left a red scar on his face.
Motoko and Su had heard Keitaro's rampage around the Hinta house and both had decided to put a stop to this maniac. Motoko had bags under her eyes and Su was in her usual joyful mood.
"What the hell Urashima!" It's 6 in the morning I can't be getting out of bed early just to hear you howling!"
"Ehehehehe, sorry Motoko, I just couldn't wait for my date wit Kitsune today." He replied. Motoko stared at him with disbelief.
"Kitsune?? Date? With you? Of all the people why does it have to be you??!! You're just a perverted dumb klutz who failed the entrance exams three times!" Keitaro was dumbstruck with the cold words that just echoed through his head.
"Seems pretty impossible huh, ronin?? You never get any girls!" Su said happily, "Kitsune must have a pretty good reason to go with youuu! And I know it's not about your looks!" Keitaro shook his head and held his thoughts.
"S-S-Sooo??!! Maybe this is finally my big break! Hahahahahaha!! Yea!" "W-Well, I'm gonna go get dressed and start my chores, See ya around guys. Heh heh heeh." He
"Hey WATCH OUT!!!"
Keitaro tripped on a banana peel left by Su and fell head-first down the stairs.
"So much for a good start." Motoko sighed.
9:00 AM
It took three hours for Keitaro to heal all the injuries from the morning. By then, he was still excited. He sat down with the girls at the breakfast table. Motoko, Su, and Naru were too truly disgusted with his attitude as he hummed with an annoying tone.
"Hey where's Kitsune? I didn't see her anywhere this morning." He asked.
"She has her writing job from 5 AM to 11 today." Motoko said.
"Oh." This surprised Keitaro because he had hardly seen Kitsune working besides gambling and drinking.
Shinobu came from the kitchen and sat down on a chair across from Keitaro.
"Good morning Sempai! You seem to be in a good mood today, especially with all those bandages on your head." Keitaro dropped his chopsticks on the table and streaks of tears came falling down as he exclaimed,
"Shinobu!!! I finally get a date for once in my whole freaking life! I know this seems all impossible but you know, maybe it's finally my time!" Shinobu jumped out of her seat and slammed her hands on the table.
"Ehh? D-D-Date? With w-who, Sempai??!!"
"With Kitsune, today at 12! Isn't this great??" He replied. Shinobu glanced at her Sempai's cheerful face and managed to say a few words with a pained expression.
"Oh that's nice."
Shinobu quickly finished her bowl before anybody else and slumped out of the dining room. Angered, Naru stood up and threw her bowl directly at Keitaro's face. He fell down face flat on the floor, groaning in pain.
"You IDIOT!!! How can you be soo freaking dense!!" Naru stormed out of the room and slammed the door.
Motoko sat beside Keitaro, poking him with her practice sword to check if he was alive. His response was more groaning.
"You think he's gonna survive in his date, Su?" Su was chowing down on bananas as if nothing had happened.
"Nope, nope, nope not a minute!"
11:00 AM
Keitaro wore his usual wear, a sweatshirt and some jeans to go. He went off the door only to see Motoko and Su at the door. Motoko unsheathed her sword and pointed it inches from his face.
"Urashima, if you do anything to Kistune when you get back, I'll slice you to bits with the tip of my sword!" Su nodded and took out a wallet. She handed it to Keitaro.
"Heya Keitaro! Don't forget ya wallet now! You're gonna hafta be loaded!" Keitaro smiled and took his wallet.
"Hey thanks guys. Has anybody seen Naru around?" Motoko and Su shook their heads.
"OK, well anyway, don't worry everything will be just fine!" Or so he thought.
He gallantly walked out of the door and made his way out. Motoko sighed.
"No use in waiting here for him, he could be gone for hours." She took her sword and went to the roof. Su followed her.
Shinobu came out under a table; she was all dressed in white with a long skirt and a light blouse. With a white French hat to top it all. (I don't know what the hat is really called, it's the hat Mutsumi wore on when she went on a date with Keitaro.)
Shinobu clenched her fist and closed her eyes.
She thought, ('S-Sempai I-I don't wanna lose you! So please forgive me for going after you today!') What she didn't realize was that somebody was standing right behind her.
"Eh? Shinobu what's up with the outfit? Are you going somewhere??"
"EEEeeep!!" Shinobu jumped, scared out of her wits. "N-Noo! It's nothing suspicious! I'm not going to follow Sempai on his date!! Nope nothing like that, just going out!! Eh heh heh."
"Relax Shinobu, it's just me, Naru!" She tried to calm Shinobu down. Shinobu let out a sigh.
"Oh." Naru exasperated.
"You're going to follow that idiot on his date huh, Shinobu? Why do you even bother??" Shinobu just hung her head low as she sat on the couch.
"W-Well I'm going to make sure Sempai is going to be okay. That's all."
"But you know, Shinobu, you shouldn't really get into this. This is Keitaro and Kitsune's business, not yours." Shinobu stood up and walked towards the door.
"Naru! Please forgive me, I don't care what you think, but I'm going after Sempai!!" Shinobu started running out but Naru suddenly stepped in front of her.
"WAIT! Shinobu! I-I-I'll go with you too!!!" Naru shouted. ('What the hell am I doing??!')
"Really? Okay Naru! I'd never thought you would do this for Sempai." Naru made a menacing face.
"For that IDIOT??! Yeah right, I'm just gonna make sure his perverted ways don't get near Kitsune!!" Shinobu smiled.
"Oh alright let's get going then!"
Naru glanced at the clock, it was 11:32 already so she counted off a couple of fingers.
"Wait a minute Shinobu, we have to wait for a little while longer remember??" Shinobu glanced at the clock and nodded.
"Ohhh right! I almost forgot what Kitsune always does." ('Ack! Poor Sempai!')
12:00 PM at the Hinta Square
Keitaro came a half an hour early at the Hinta Square and was waiting for Kitsune by the fountain. He smiled while reading one of his study books.
('It's a good thing I came early! I wouldn't wanna be the one who was late! I'm sure Kitsune will be here anytime by now.')
1:00 PM
Keitaro looked around as he sat down on a nearby bench. There was no sign of Kitsune anywhere.
('I'm sure Kitsune has a good reason for being an hour late.') he thought.
2:00 PM
He slumped on the bench, still no sign of Kitsune.
('She'll be here soon, she will!')
3:00 PM
('Must stay awake. Kitsune will be here soon right?')
4:00 PM
Keitaro slept for a while on the bench. People passed by him and muttered words.
"His face looks kinda bland, is he okay?"
"Is he homeless?? Gee, I feel kinda sorry for him."
"Ewww don't get near him he might stink!"
"Why is he taking up the whole bench?! I wanna sit too!"
A lady with short blond hair came up to him and poked him with her umbrella.
"Hey, you alright there??" Keitaro woke up with a snap and grabbed the lady's arm and hugged her tightly.
"Kitsune! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for four freaking hours!!" He looked up and saw an angry face with a twitch on her head. Apparently that was not Kitsune at all.
"DON'T TOUCH ME YOU BASTARD!!!!" The angered blond punched Keitaro right in the face and sent him flying to the fountain. She stormed off into the crowd.
"Owwieee" Keitaro yelped.
People decided to avoid him later on.
5:00 PM
Keitaro managed to get out of the fountain. He was all drenched.
"Ughhh what was I thinking that a girl would actually come with me on a date. I guess I'd better go back to the Hinta house." Saddened, Keitaro turned and started to head back until-
"Yo Keitaro!! What are you doing here and why are you all wet??" Keitaro looked behind.
It was Kitsune!! She wore her red tank top and blue jeans with a tired look on her face.
"Kitsune what the hell took so long? I've been waiting for at least five hours for you to come for our date!!" Kitsune blinked.
"Huh? Date?" Keitaro tripped.
"You Know! You asked me to go out with you yesterday!!!"
Kitsune thought for a while and then snapped her fingers.
"OHHH THAT! I'm so sorry Keitaro!! I was slacking at my work today so I got held back for two hours. Then I took a real long nap. Not much to do around since I got no sake to savor. But it's real sad since they didn't even pay me."
Keitaro sweat dropped. Kitsune clasped her hands together and put on her pleading face.
"PLEASE forgive me Keitaro! I mean, that's the past now, I'll make it up to you by having our date RIGHT NOW!!" Keitaro reluctantly nodded, and Kitsune linked her arms with Keitaro.
"Alright then, onward!!" And they started to head down the street.
Behind the fountain were two sulking figures peeking at Kitsune as she dragged Keitaro by arm.
"You baka, I can't believe you actually waited this long, C'mon Shinobu let's go!!" Naru's face suddenly lit up and took Shinobu by the arm. They followed after Kitsune and Keitaro as the sun began to set.
