The Hinata Sou :

Keitaro sighed, as he slipped beneath the surface of the open air hot spring. He reached for the book he had with him, a doujinshi, and settled back to relax and, errr, relax. He was so intent on his, reading, that he did not notice what was going on around him. Bubbles start to froth under the surface of the water, as a vortex appeared in the water, a column of light shooting skyward, rippling the surface violently.

Keitaro, had gotten water on his book, and put it down, and that's when he noticed what was happening.

"Wha... What the? Has Su tampered with the pumps again?"

As he looked at the vortex, from it appeared a small, lithe young girl, with strange markings adorning her face. She also had a rather unusual looking mallet on her back. Her black hair was in contrast to her white and red clothing she was wearing. She also, had noticed him, and the book he had been reading, which had left Keitaro in a certain 'state'. The young girl's eyes went wide.

"WHAT THE?!?! PERVERT!!!!!"

She had grasped the handle of her mallet, pulling it free of it's restraint, and swinging it with full force at Keitaro. As Keitaro felt the mallet strike him, he had that familiar feeling of weightlessness, as he was sent flying through the door into the Hinata Sou. When he finally came to a stop, he found he had collided with Mutsumi sometime during his flight, and was lying on top of her, wearing only a towel, while she was wearing her usual green shirt/brown dress combination.

Keitaro immediately jumped to his feet, but had forgotten that Mutsumi had snagged a hold of his towel. When he had jumped to his feet, she had unintentionally, de-towelled him. He quickly pulled the towel free from Mutsumi's grasp, and placed it back around him, covering himself. He helped Mutsumi to her feet, and led her back to her room (ironically, opposite his own.).

The young woman, who had appeared from the vortex, had watched Keitaro. She groaned and uttered the invisibility spell Belldandy had taught her. Her form vanished and she crept inside the Hinata Sou. She looked around the whole building, before finally coming to the kanrinrin's room. She uttered another spell, which made her form intangible, whilst still maintaining the invisibility spell, and she walked through the wall. As soon as she had passed through the wall, she looked around the room. After she had finished her inspection, she sighed.

Skuld, 2nd class limited Goddess of the Future, formerly debugger of Yggdrasil, now appointed as a 'Guardian'. She frowned, her father, had decided to reassign her and her sisters to be guardians of two mortals each, all of which reside here at the Hinata Sou. Her frown deepened as she looked once more around the room.

"Why was I chosen to be HIS guardian? Why him? He's a pervert and a creep." Skuld shook her head.

She floated through the roof, into the room above. She paused and looked around. She saw an opened letter sitting on the each of a table, and decided to read it. It was addressed to this room's occupant, and as she read it, she knew who this person's guardian was.

"Well, at least my sister got to be the guardian of the important ones. If it was Urd, or even Peorth...." Skuld shuddered as she placed the letter back where it was, then floated through the roof.

She kept heading up, until she got to the attic. She looked around and saw how clean it was for an attic, and knew that it was frequented regularly. She then remembered the part of the Hinata Sou, where the rooms, were closed. She headed over there, and found a room she could use for herself. She reformatted the room, so it resembled her room in Asgard. She sat in one of the chairs, and sighed.

"Belldandy, Urd, please let your charges come as soon as possible, so you can come down here. Staying here for the duration of that idiot's life will drive me insane!"

Skuld sat back in the chair and sighed. She was bored.

"Oh well, let's see what these mortals do for fun." She paused "On second thought, I think I'll go and look for some of my favourite."

Skuld recast the invisibility and intangibility spells and levitated off her chair and floated off, through the walls, in search of her favourite food, Ice Cream.

At Tokyo Memorial :

Seta had just exited the restroom, when he saw Kitsune and Motoko enter. They saw him and approached.

"How's Naru holding up?" Kitsune asked.

"Pretty good, considering." Seta replied "But, uhh, what are the two of you doing here?"

Motoko looked at him.

"We are here because of our concern for Naru, and because Keitaro told us nothing about what was going on."

Seta sighed.

"Come on. Let's see if...."

Kitsune pointed.

"Look."

Motoko and Seta turned and saw Haruka, Naru and Doctor Uzuki were heading towards them. With them, was a tall, long haired man, dressed all in black, a trenchcoat worn over his frame. He was carrying two bags with him, and wore a haunted look. Seta and Kitsune looked at each other.

"That's her penpal?" Kitsune asked.

Seta nodded "Yeah. That's him...."

They remained standing there, as Haruka and the others approached. Motoko eyed the stranger, warily.

Haruka glanced at Naru, then faced Seta.

"Seta, get the van ready. We're heading back to the Hinata Sou."

Seta swallowed and turned on his heel, heading out to the parking lot. Kitsune faced Naru.

"Naru...? Are you alright?"

Naru nodded, and looked at the man with them.

"I don't know Kitsune. Let's just wait until we get home, then we'll talk." She looked at Kitsune "I promise."

Kitsune nodded her head slowly, then looked at the man with them.

"And you are?"

The man looked at her, his face bearing a hollow, vacant expression. Naru put her hand on his shoulder.

"This is Greg. He's going to stay at the Hinata Sou with us." She then added after looking at Motoko "Please Motoko."

Motoko looked at Naru, then at Greg. She could sense the sadness and grief surrounding him.

"I understand Naru."

"Same here." Kitsune added.

Seta coughed.

"Uhh, well then. Shall we be on our way?"
