Prologue: I Love You!

"Can I… speak to you, Naru? Alone?" Urashima Keitaro asked, while eyeing the other HinataSou girls suspiciously.

"Yeah, sure, make it quick though."

"Hai. We'll only be a minute." Naru Narusegawa followed the elder boy outside.

"I would have taken you to my room," an evil glint entered Naru's eyes, "ButIknewyouwouldn'tlikeitsohereweare!" A deep breath helped Keitaro regain his breath.

"So, what is it, Keitaro?" The short-tempered girl asked him, her voice annoyed. The poor man gulped and prepared himself.

"Aishiteru." He said, and saw the slightest shade of red in Naru's cheeks before turning and fleeing.

"Keitaro! Chotto matte kudasai!" she shouted after him, but it was too late. "I Love you too, Keitaro…" she whispered to herself. "Aishiteru…"

"I've already arranged it!" Keitaro slammed his fist on the table. "I leave tomorrow! I'm sorry, but I really need this break!" Shinobu Maehara had tears in her eyes, there was no way she wanted him to leave. Motoko Aoyama was her straight-faced self, but was hurting inside nonetheless. Kaolla Su, who couldn't keep still for a moment, was busy chasing Tama around, hiding her feelings from the others. Mitsune Konno, well, of course she was upset. Now who'd give her gambling money? Naru was out shopping, she'd be hurting the most for sure.

"Whatever you think is best." Urashima Haruka said, not the least bit surprised. She had noticed that Keitaro had been more distracted lately, and had actually been the one to suggest he take a holiday. Keitaro had thought this over, and arranged it perfectly so that once he confessed to Naru; he'd be off the next day.

"Hai, au—Haruka. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to finish packing." And off to finish packing he went, not once again leaving his room. Once, he thought he heard Naru crying, but Keitaro quickly shook that thought out of his head.
