Guns, Knives, and the Hinata

Chapter 4: Get a Job

By: Sano-kun

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Love Hina, but I lay claim to Gunnar.

It was already nearing the middle of spring and things at the Hinata Inn weren't going along so well. At the time the payment for the Inn was nearing its due date as well as bills for the other utilities. Seeing as how most of the girls were busy with causing mayhem in the lives of Keitaro and Gunnar, the two decided to go and find some way to gather some money. Yet the hereditary gene of male stupidity left the two dumbfounded on how to go about their way of getting a job. While walking away from the local ice cream parlor, Keitaro and Gunnar began to converse.

"Damn we need to get jobs." Said Keitaro as he began to eat his ice cream cone.

"But I thought that being managers was our job?" Replied Gunnar as he quickly devoured his.

"Yes, but we need one that pays."

"You're right Keitaro...so you got any ideas on where we should look for work?"

"No clue, how about you?"

"Not damn one."

"We're so screwed if we don't find jobs."

"Hey it isn't like two pieces of paper are going to fly out of the blue with a good job opportunity written on them and smack us in the face." Said Gunnar as two pieces of paper with a good job opportunity written on them flew out of nowhere and smacked him and Keitaro in the face.

"You were saying?"

"Okay so I was wrong."

"Hey this one's talking about being an assistant to a professor from Tokyo U."

"Mine says the same thing and they got a number on here."

"That's great."

"I hope the professor is cool."

"Yeah, yeah let's go get make the call so we can at least try to get hired and make some money."

"Alright."

Keitaro and Gunnar rushed back to the Inn where they both started to fight over the phone with Keitaro as the victor. Gunnar sat in a corner and watched as Keitaro started to talk on the other line for over twenty minutes. Once he finished the phone call, Keitaro told Gunnar that the professor was interested in hiring the both of them but first he was coming by to meet with them in person the next day. The two young men were feeling ecstatic and hopeful at the prospect of getting a job so they spent their morning sitting on the stone stairs overlooking the street below them when they both saw a van tearing down the street at high speed. The boys looked confused and then downright scared as the van went up the stairs and launched itself into the all the way over their heads and into the one of the walls. After overcoming their shock of seeing a van which was now smashed against a wall, the two went over to help the occupants of the car when a man with glasses similar to Gunnar with messy brown hair, dark brown eyes, a black long sleeve shirt, black slacks, and a pair of black shoes stepped out of the car with his head dripping blood. A short blonde girl with blue eyes whom was wearing a red followed the bleeding man and black-stripped shirt, blue over-alls and white shoes.

"Oh sorry about that there." Said the man.

"No problem." Said Gunnar.

"Shouldn't you be dead?" Questioned Keitaro.

"I could say the same for the both of us with all we've been through man."

"So you two must be Gunnar and Keitaro." Said the man as he wiped some blood off with a handkerchief he produced from his back pocket.

"Yes."

"Great name's Seta." Said Seta.

"Nice to meet ya."

"Hey Ox." Said Gunnar in German as Seta smirked back at him.

"Hey Ghost." Replied Seta in German also as the blonde girl and Keitaro looked at him and Gunnar with confusion.

"Papa can we go now those two look like dorks?" Said the blonde girl.

"Dorks?" Said Gunnar as his left eye began to twitch.

"No Sarah I just have to evaluate them both to see if they're right for the job." Said Seta.

"Alright." Said Sarah as she glared at Keitaro and Gunnar.

"You want to come inside?" Asked Keitaro to Sarah and Seta.

"We'd be delighted." Replied Seta.

"Just sit right here man."

"All right. So Keitaro and Gunnar why do you want to work for me?"

"Well even though we're the managers of this place we need a little bit more money just to pay off some of our bills."

"That's a good reason, now do you two have any skills that could be useful?"

"Well I'm good a drawing and manual labor."

"You should already know about skills by now Seta." Said Gunnar.

"Huh?" Questioned Keitaro.

"Nothing Bro."

"Well you two are good, I expect to see you both at Tokyo U next Tuesday to start working." Said Seta.

"Great thanks alot Seta." Said Keitaro.

"You're welcome Part Timer."

"Keitaro and Gunnar why is there a van smashed into the wall outside?" Questioned a woman with shoulder neck length black hair with a long black shirt, tan shorts, black leggings as she walked in on the group.

"Oh Aunt Haruka it's just mine and Gunnar's new boss and some blonde girl." Said Keitaro before Sarah kicked him in the kneecaps.

"Hey Ruka long time no see." Smiled Seta as he waved at Haruka.

"Is there something I'm missing here."

"Nothing you should be concerned about Keitaro."

"Keitaro what's going on....Seta?" Said Naru as she walked in on the others.

"Hey Narusegawa how are you doing?" Said Seta,

"I'm doing fine Seta."

"Naru how do you know this guy?" Questioned Keitaro.

"The person I made the promise of getting into Toudai to is him."

"Oh..." Muttered Keitaro sadly as he felt his heart break.

A.N.-Yay another chapter done. Well anyways I'd like to thank all of you who have review so far. For those wondering why Gunnar and Seta seem to know each other...that won't be reveiled until four or five chapters later. Hah!!
