Disclaimer: Love Hina is not mine. It belongs to Akamatsu-sensei. The drivel that you are about to witness comes from my overworked and underpaid imagination. Thank you for not suing. You aren't gonna get a cent out of me anyways.

The Healing of the Dark Heart
Chapter 9
After everyone had calmed down from welcoming back the landlord and his beautiful wife, I decided it was time to start the meeting. Kanako gave my hand a squeeze of encouragement. I squeezed back just to let her know I appreciated it. "I guess I should start by talking about my past. I am, or was before the accident, a scientist working in the field of technology." Su squealed with delight and said, "Kewlies! I knew there was a brain in yas. Could ya maybe help me out with some of my projects??" Motoko bopped Su on the head to make her quiet again. "Maybe later, Su- chan. Now where was I? Oh, yes. I had my own laboratory that was funded by the government. That research facility was specializing in nanotechnology, specifically merging it with the human body. I also had an assistant who was working on an A. I. program to help the nanobots to coexist with the body as well as the mind. Her name was Sari. After a while of working together, we started dating." After hearing this, the girls in unison said, "Awwwwwwwwe, isn't that sweet." I resumed my story.
"After several months of dating, I finally proposed to her for marriage. Unfortunately, it was never meant to be. After I finished the final bug testing on the project, the lab came under attack. Two strange looking creatures broke in, wreaking havoc all over the place. They destroyed mostly everything save for the computer Sari and I were working on. Whatever their intentions were, I knew they wanted my project. Sari tried to stop them, but they mercilously killed her. I had no choice but to upload the nanobots and design specs into myself. I then tried to escape, but a bomb that they set blew up, somehow affecting the nanotechnology within me, sending me through what seemed like a warp zone. It slowly took my memory away, leaving me with that amnesia I had when I first showed up here." Everyone blushed at remembering me splashing down in the hot springs, save for Keitaro and Naru, who just sweat-dropped. I continued.
"And now, I have some bad news. Those two creatures were lackeys of the SATAN organization. And now their head leaders have tracked me here. You know those bad dreams I have been having recently?" Everyone silently nodded. "Well, I believe that they are premonitions. They have been telling me that the organization is going to attack on Halloween. I don't want anyone to be hurt, but I do need some help. I don't know much about demons, evil spirits, and the like, but I do know they won't be easily defeated. And now, I humbly ask for your help. I will give you some time to make your decision. But remember, whether your vote is yay or nay, I am glad I got to know you as my friends. Thank you." Then I got up to leave. Kanako started to follow me, but I told her to stay. They needed her opinion as well.
I walked outside the Hinata-sou while they were busy discussing what I have told them. Inside, there was a long silence, everyone thinking of the story I told them. Then Keitaro spoke up. "Well, girls, this is a whole lot to digest. But I believe him. He does need our help. And you all know I would do anything to help a friend out in need. I may have just met him today, but he is now a friend to me, and I will help him out however I can. Naru?"
"He is deeply troubled by this group, but Keitaro is right. I would do anything for a friend in need. Anything. So I'm in."
Shinobu said, "Dark-sempai has always treated us with respect. He is very friendly, very helpful, and always kind. So I will help him out anyway I can."
Su was the next to voice her opinion. "Am I in? Am I in? Ya better believe I'm in!! Besides, he promised to play with me and help me out with my inventions!! Let's get those SATAN bums!"
Motoko said, "Before, I would never have even given it some thought to help out a man in any way, unless his heart was pure. But I have looked into his heart, and it beats true. So, he can count on me and the Hina Blade."
Sarah chimed in, "Yeah, sure. Count me in. I'll help out the dork. Anyone that can elude my pranks deserve my respect.
Ema said, "If we survive this, this is going into my files. I'm in."
Kitsune said, "Of course I will help, Dark-kun is family now. He helped me put my life in focus, and for a few months now, I have been Sake- free, and I am proud of myself. So I say, let's send those SATAN organization losers back to Hell." Upon hearing this, everyone applauded her.
Finally, it was Kanako's turn. "I'm sure everyone knows this by now, but I will say it anyway. I used to have a big crush on Oniichan. To me, the sun rose and set on him. And even after he married you, Naru, I still had my crush on him. But ever since Dark-kun came into our lives, I felt something that I thought I only had for my Oniichan. And then I knew it, I loved Dark-kun. He made me smile for the first time in my life, and I loved it. I don't know what I would do now if he left. So I say, let those freaks come, and if they try to hurt Dark-kun, I will personally kill them myself."
Keitaro stood up and said, "So that's it. We vow to protect Dark-san and the Hinata-sou. We will show these creeps that if you harm one of us, there will be hell to pay. Kanako, bring him back inside." Kanako got up and went out of the front door to get me. "While he comes back, let's work on a defense plan." Su jumped over onto Keitaro and said, "Kewlies! I can use all my Mecha-Tamas for the front line! That will show 'em no one messes with my playmates!!"
Outside, I look out to the bridge that leads out of Hinata-sou, lost in thought. Just then I felt a light kiss on my cheek, and I knew it was Kanako. "They are ready for you, and they agreed. You are family now, and we never turn our backs on family. So let's go inside so we can work on the battle plans." I hugged her close, feeling my tears dropping, and said, "Thank you, Kanako-chan. Thank you for making me one of the family. I love you guys so much, especially you." We then walked back, arm in arm, snuggled closely together, back to Command Central of the Hinata-sou.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what do you think? Will the newly formed family of Hinata-sou be ready for Halloween and the impending attack? And what is the true motive of the SATAN organization for capturing Dark Heart? Stay tuned, Chapter 10 and Halloween are just around the corner. And as always, reviews and commentary are always accepted. Thanx, DarkHeart
