Chapter 1: Gunnar Arrives

By: Sano-kun

A.N.-Takes place after volume three.

Upon first glance most people would see nothing but a nerd when they saw Keitaro Urashima. He had messy black hair, black rimmed glasses, and he usually would obsess over photo booths. But they would sometimes rethink their thoughts to know that this particular young man was the manager of an all-girls dorm in the city at an old hotel called the Hinata Inn. Yet the same people would go back to rethinking after they saw Keitaro sailing over the city or reaching low Earth orbit. Upon all of these happenings, Keitaro was wishing for another guy to help him out at the Hinata and take some of the harassment also from the tenants. Little did Keitaro know that his wish was about to come true. A week later in Hinata a young man was walking along before he stopped and grumbled in annoyance. The young man had dark brown skin, a bald fade, and he had blue eyes, which were rare for black people to have. The young man was carrying a large forest green duffel bag, and he was wearing a pair of baggy navy jeans, an oversized gray t-shirt, scuffed up black sneakers, a pair of small rectangular glasses, and rosary beads around his neck. The young man then proceeded to take a letter out of his back pocket when a yell followed by a loud crash caught his attention.

"Un-huh, glasses, messy black hair...got the shit beat outta him, this has to be the guy." Said the blue-eyed guy.

"Why won't they listen when I say it's an accident?" Moaned a messy black haired young man wearing a pair of blue shorts, tan sandals, and black rimmed glasses.

"Hey dude are you Keitaro Urashima?"

"Yeah, who are you?" Questioned Keitaro.

"I'm Gunnar Smith and your new assistant manager at the Hinata Inn." Grinned Gunnar as he rubbed the bridge of his nose as he pulled Keitaro up.

"Huh, I don't know."

"Your granma told me to help you out...well more like my parents forced me and while your granma suggested the idea." Grumbled Gunnar as he handed Keitaro another letter which he pulled from his front pocket.

".... So Granny wants you to be the new assistant manager. That should be okay by me but.... the girls wouldn't take this to lightly."

"Feh, what can a girl do?"

"Perhaps you didn't notice me falling from the stratosphere?"

"Whatever man there has never been anyone that could scare me."

"You'd be surprised."

"Alright Keitaro lets go…but before we go your fly's down dude."

"Oh." Muttered Keitaro as he quickly zipped himself up and walked off with Gunnar.

The two got to know one another better while they trekked their way to the Hinata Inn. They also discovered that they had some things in common such as they both liked to take photo booth pictures, they embarrass easily, and that they both have some degree of bad luck. After walking a good twelve blocks they came finally came to a giant stone staircase and went up them. Once they reached the top Gunnar began to let out a string of curses involving huge sets of stairs and the need for an escalator. After Gunnar stopped his cursing triad, Keitaro led the young man into the Hinata Inn where he could only whistle in awe.

"This place looks better than how your granma told me." Said Gunnar as he dropped his bag and took off his shoes.

"I know, hey Gunnar could you wait for a moment while I go get something real quickly?" Said Keitaro.

"As long as I don't see anything that catches my attention then yeah."

"Alright."

"What's this.... hot springs this way? Whoo-hoo!" Cheered Gunnar as he read a sign, which was set up behind where Keitaro was standing.

Unbeknownst to Gunnar, the young man was about to get himself in a world of trouble. After going down a long hallway he came to an open-air hot spring. Unable to contain his excitement Gunnar quickly stripped himself and jumped into the water. After he surfaced he leaned against a boulder and started to close his eyes, but not before a fully nude and curvy woman with narrow eyes, and short blonde hair walked in front of him while carrying a bottle of hard liquor. Gunnar stayed absolutely quite hoping the woman didn't notice him, but things didn't go as he planned as the woman sauntered up to him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Hiya." Slurred the woman drunkly.

"Hi."

"Ya know fer bein a woman you have some nice muscles."

"Thanks.... I think."

"My names Kitsune what's yers?" Smiled Kitsune lazily as she pressed her body firmly against Gunnar's.

"I'm Gunnar." Blushed Gunnar as a certain part of his anatomy started to make its presence felt.

"Nice to meet ya Gunnar. Hey do you have a cucumber on you?"

"You could say that."

"What the...more male scum. Prepare yourself for death!" Said a girl with long black hair, dark brown eyes, wrapped up in a white towel whom was pointing a long katana at Gunnar.

"Wait crazy lady this isn't what it looks like!"

"Save that excuse for the afterlife!" Snarled the girl as she leapt at Gunnar with an overhead attack.

"Bullshit!" Huffed Gunnar as he dodged the attack while holding Kitsune.

"Heya Motoko this is Gunnar and she has a cucumber." Said Kitsune before she passed out.

"Damn you're wasted." Said both Gunnar and Motoko in disbelief before they turned their attention back to each other.

"Let her go!"

"Fine she's down, can't we talk this out?"

"Never."

"Aww damn." Moaned Gunnar as he ran off with Motoko chasing him.

"Come back here I demand your manhood!"

"Like hell your gonna get it." Yelled Gunnar as he ran around while tossing his clothes back on.

"Impertinent ass!"

"Menstrual trippin woman!"

"Weak man."

"Says the one with the sword!"

"ATOMIC NARU PUNCH!" Was all that Gunnar could hear before darkness overcame him.

When Gunnar woke up he found himself hanging from tied up and hanging from a rafter. He then looked to see Keitaro, Kitsune whom was up and wearing a tight black top and blue jeans, then Motoko whom was dressed as if she was a shrine maiden, a blue haired girl with blue eyes wearing a traditional Japanese school girl uniform, another girl wearing the exact same thing as the girl with the blue hair except her skin tone was like Gunnar's and she had blonde hair and green eyes and two pink oval blush marks on her cheeks, and lastly a young woman with long brown hair with two cowlicks, a yellow sweater and a pink skirt glaring at him.

"Hey Gunnar." Said Keitaro.

"How long was I out?" Said Gunnar.

"About six and a half hours."

"Damn...so am I gonna die or lose my manhood?"

"You're not going to lose your manhood or die." Said Motoko sternly.

"Thank the lord." Sighed Gunnar.

"But we have some questions for you."

"And why would you tie me up?"

"That was my idea sexy." Winked Kitsune.

"Oh you." Said Gunnar as he glared at Kitsune.

"What is that a way to talk back to me?"

"You thought I was a girl!"

"Well I WAS drunk. Besides once we're through with your interrogation...I got a few things I'd like to use your cucumber for."

"Not now Kitsune, you're giving both of the perverts ideas." Said the girl with the two cowlicks.

"I was just teasing him Naru."

"Maybe we should just let him down, I'm sure it was just a accident like Keitaro-sempai said." Said the blue haired girl.

"Finally someone on my side besides Keitaro." Said Gunnar.

"Shinobuu you can never trust a man." Said Motoko.

"But what about Keitaro?" Said the blonde haired girl.

"He isn't a man Suu."

"That's jacked." Said Gunnar in Keitaro's defense.

"Shut it, now let's get down to the questions, Naru if you would start." Said Motoko.

"Okay what's your full name?" Inquired Naru.

"Gunnar Geist Smith."

"Age?"

"Nineteen."

"Why are you here?"

"Because Keitaro's granma and my parents wanted me to come here and help him out."

"Do you have any proof of this?"

"Yes."

"Can we see this proof?"

"Gee I could get it outta my back pocket but if you haven't noticed I'm tied up!"

"Fine Motoko get him down."

"Gladly." Grinned Motoko evilly as she sliced Gunnar's bonds and caused him to fall ungracefully on his face.

"Crazy ass women." Said Gunnar under his breath as he took the letter from his back pocket and gave it to Naru.

"It's from Granny Hina alright." Said Kitsune.

"Unbelievable." Said Naru.

"I won't except him unless he beats me in a duel." Said Motoko.

"Fine by me, attack when you want to." Said Gunnar as he went rummaging through his duffel bag.

"Fool." Said Motoko before a gunshot went off and her sword was knocked out of her hands.

"Looks like I won." Grinned Gunnar as he blew the gun smoke from a Desert Eagle.
