One Sec: I'm going to be switching views between Keitaro and Mutsumi, so it might be confusing, but keep that in mind.
Chapter 2 - Little Island Out at Sea
On an island, a little off Okinawa, there was a woman. Her name was Mutsumi Otohime, and she was also trying to get admitted to Toudai. She had failed the enterance exams twice and is trying for the third try this year.
"Kei-Kun... Don't forget me... We'll get into Toudai together..." said Mutsumi in her sleep.
A small yellow turtle with a green shell came up to Mutsumi and poked her. "Mew!" it said.
Mutsumi slowly opened her eyes and saw bright sunlight shine through the window.
"Oh my... I must have dozed off..." she said with a silly smile on her face. She looked at the time and realized she overslept. "Ari! Ari! I'm late again," she said.
"Mew??"
"I'm late Tama-Chan... to get my watermelons." she replied, like she knew what the turtle was asking.
She hurried off to the showers and undressed herself.
"Mew??" the turtle asked again.
"Yup! You can come in too," she replied and took the turtle to the bathroom. She quickly showered and dried herself. She was walking back into her room and saw the photograph of herself and "Kei-Kun." She didn't get his full name so she just called him Kei-Kun.
"Are you thinking of me Kei-Kun...? Do you even remember me?" she asked herself quietly looking out through the window.
Meanwhile, Keitaro was staring out the window asking himself, "Are you thinking of me? Do you even remember me...?"
They both stared out the window and saw the same sun, the same sky... the same horizon... Somehow they knew they remembered each other.
"Mew!" said Tama-Chan.
"Oh! You right! I'm not even dressed yet," she said with a silly smile.
She got dressed and took Tama-Chan. They headed to the beach where... she fainted into the sand...
...She found herself inside again in her room. She opened her eyes slowly and saw a figure. "Kei-Kun!! You found me!!" she exclamined and hugged the person.
"Kei-Kun...?? Mutsumi, I'm your father."
She opened her eyes fully and smiled. "Did I faint again...?"
"Yes you did. I think you should be taking it easy... Oh! And I got you your watermelons."
"My watermelons!!! Thank you," she squealed with delight.
"Good thing you have that turtle. It found me and lead me to you," he said.
"Really?? Awwww... Tama-Chan!" She took the turtle and suffocated it between her breasts, smothering it with love.
"Mew!" the turtle said, gasping for air.
"Mutsumi... I need to tell you something," said her father.
Mutsumi stopped smothering her turtle with love and looked at her father. "What is it?" she asked with that silly smile on her face.
"I've decided... to send you Hinata Sou. It's much more closer to Toudai then it is here. Alot of woman your age will be there studying for Toudai."
"Really?? Thank you! I'll pack right away." she said.
Her father smiled. "We leave in about three days.Rest up honey."
Mutsumi packed quickly and eagerly. She was almost finished until she came across the photograph again. "If I get into Toudai... maybe I'll see you..."
Keitaro Urashima took out his photograph book, and flipped the pages until he got to the promised one. "If I get into Toudai this year... maybe I'll see you.
"Train 902 will be arriving shortly. Please ready your belongings and be ready to exit the train."
Keitaro gathered his luggage and got ready to leave the train, while Mutsumi finished packing. They looked out the window and smiled. "I'll see you in Toudai my promised lover..." they said together.
So in a little island out at sea, lives Keitaro's lover. Destiny will bring them together again... soon... Bonded together by the promise.
