Sooooo sorry if this chapter is garbage, but I swear, I'll try to make the next better. ________________________________________________________________________ -Chapter 2- Signs

Motoko remains on the wooden balcony doing her usual training schedule. "What was that aura?" thought Motoko " It can't be Urashima, it was too strong". Motoko continued to take a step forward and cutting falling leaves with her sword Shisui in both hands. The afternoon sun continued to beam down on the roof of the Hinata House.

Then footsteps echoed from behind the balcony. Automatically Motoko swifty, turned around and launched her Shisui at the stairs. The sword pierced the railing, which Keitaro is hiding behind.

"Oh its, you Urashima," scowled Motoko coldly, "I see you are in stalker mood".

"Hold on Motoko" said Keitaro nervously "Look the thing about my friends yesterday."

"Try anything funny with me, and I'll remove you by force" snapped Motoko as she brandished her sword.

"D-I-N-N-E-R TIIIIME!!" screamed Su as she popped out from beneath the balcony. Motoko shrieked at took a step back and tripped. But luckily was caught by Keitaro. "What the."thought Motoko shocked. "How did he." Then she realized she was still in his arms. "I could of caught myself!" yelled Motoko as she blushed madly. She stomped off angrily.

Motoko walked down the hallway towards the dining room. "How was that possible?" thought Motoko angrily "How did he catch me?" Thoughts of wonder began to plague her mind. "He was behind the stairs railing," continued Motoko, "There was a 10 meter distance between us, a normal person."

"Umm Motoko?" called Shinobu Maehara from the dining room. "The food is here".

"Oh.right" said Motoko half-focused.

Soon everyone was sitting at dinner table eating Shinobu's cooked meal. Keitaro, who is now accepted at the dinner table, was overwhelmed.

"Shinobu's cooking is SOOO good," said Keitaro with tears "and it looks good too, unlike some people's food"

"You wanna eat cupped noodles again ronin?" said Naru bitterly.

As they continued to eat, Motoko reached for the soy sauce, and so did Keitaro, both their hands touched. Motoko began to blush madly and senseless bitterness took over again. She snatched it away and poured it on her rice, and ate fast. She got up and clumsy left the room, tripping over a bucket, and colliding with the wall.

"What is coming over me" thought Motoko "Why is that I feel strange when I'm around him"

Motoko sat by herself in the hot springs. Su was swimming around her, being neglected.

"Its something about Urashima" continued Motoko, "Its it because I."

The word Love crossed her mind.

"I won't believe it!" yelled Motoko. "I refuse that Urashima."

"Someone called?" called Urashima as he barged into the hot springs. Then he spotted Motoko naked and began to sputter. "I'm sorry!"

"Urashima.."muttered Motoko with loathing hatred.

5 minutes later, Motoko was in her basic training uniform, while Keitaro was in a kendo suit. They stood 10 meters apart in the backyard. "Urashima, I challenge you to a duel!" yelled Motoko directly at Keitaro. "If I win you will leave, and I will be the Landlord!"

The other girls watched from a far, and decided to watch the battle rather then get involved.

"Doesn't she mean land lady?" wondered Shinobu, but then worried for Keitaro. "You can do it Sempai!!"

"M-O-T-O-K-O! M-O-T-O-K-O!" called out Su in a cheerleader costume. Naru remained sheepishly watching the battle.

"I can't beat you in kendo!" yelled out Keitaro, desperate to keep his life.

"Shut Up!" yelled Motoko. "It begins!"

Motoko took the pre-emptive and stuck first.

"Boulder Cutting Strike!" yelled Motoko, and slashed towards Keitaro. Keitaro cowardly dodged and ran off.

"You can't escape Urashima! Air Shattering Blade!" yelled Motoko as she jumped high in the sky and launched a projectile from her blade, towards Urashima. Keitaro dodged again, but the projectile streaked towards the spectators, knocking them all out. "You coward!" yelled Motoko, whom was obviously blaming him for knocking out Su, Shinobu, and Naru.

Keitaro took a glance around the backyard, smiling at the unconscious spectators, Keitaro began to laugh, a rather insane laugh.

"What?" gasped Motoko as the cold aura returned.
