Hey, all, DarkHeart back again!! I just want to take this moment to thank each and everyone of you that has read my story. I must admit, I too suffer from Typo Fairy Syndrome, so if some words are misspelled, you can thank the typo fairy for that. I also want to thank M. Blade for finally updating his "Bloodstained Heritage" story. It is really getting interesting. I hope you keep it up, dude. Anywho....time to get back to what you really want, people, Chapter 4!!

A Samurai's Heart and A Ronin's Love
Chapter 4
At the sound of Keitaro being referred to as 'sensei' by Motoko, the other girls' jaws just dropped way below the basement. Su asked, "What's a 'sensei'? Is it something good to eat?" Everyone just face-faulted at that statement. Naru recovered quickly and said to Su, "No, Su, a 'sensei' is a person that teaches things." Su, who was still confused, said, "So I can't eat this Keitaro-sensei person??" Everyone in the Hinata-sou collectively shouted, "NO!!" Keitaro quickly backed away from the foreign girl and then turned his attention to Motoko. He walked over to her and gave her a great bear hug. "It's so good to see you again, Motoko-Chan," Keitero said. "It seems like forever since I saw you last. How have you been?"
Motoko, completely surprised after seeing her mentor after six years, was for once at a loss for words. After gathering her thoughts together, she stammered out, "I-I've been doing fine, K-Keitaro-Sensei. I have been named successor to the 'God's Cry School'." Keitaro said, "Is that so? But I thought Tsuruko-san was the next in line. Why did they name you when it should have been her??" Motoko frowned. "Because Oneesan got married about a year and a half later after you left. But I am not ready to take on such a big responsibility such as this. So they sent me here to finish my education and to train."
Keitaro took all this in and started thinking. He finally said, "Even though I am happy that Tsuruko is married, I don't see why they would automatically name you as successor at such a young age. Maybe I am just naive as some people claim. But in any event, I am glad they let you continue your education."
Just then, a young girl with short hair with a blue hue entered the Hinata-Sou. "Hi, everyone, I'm back," she said. Everyone then turned their attention toward her. They(with the exception of Keitaro) all gathered around her and said, "Welcome back, Shinobu!!" The girl now known as Shinobu thanked each of the girls for their kind reception. Su said, "Now that you're back, can ya fix me something to eat? Especially with bananas??" Shinobu sweatdropped and said, "Sure thing, Su, but let me relax some. After all, that was a long train ride from home to here." Su just smiled and said, "Okies!!"
The other girls brought Shinobu into the living room, where she discovered they had company. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said, "I didn't see you there. My name is Shinobu." Keitaro bowed and said, "Nice to meet you again, Shinobu-san, and I am glad you are still smiling." Shinobu recognized his face as the man who made the sketch of her smiling. "My name is Urashima Keitaro, Proud graduate of the 'God's Cry School', grandson of Urashima Hina, and nephew of Urashima Haruka. Pleased to make your aquaintance." Shinobu, taken in by Keitaro's manners and humbleness, blushed a medium red. She replied, "Th-thank you, Urashima-sempai. May I call you sempai?" Keitaro smiled and said, "If that is what you wish, then by all means."
Shinobu just remembered something and started rooting around in her pack to find something. She found what she was looking for and presented it to Keitaro. "Here, Sempai, you left your sketchbook at the bench." The other girls were looking on, wondering what she meant by that statement. "Thank you, Shinobu-chan, I would have been lost without it." Naru, who was starting to switch into 'punish pervert' mode, started questioning Shinobu. "What's this about a sketchbook and a bench?" Shinobu, knowing all too well what Naru could do depending on what she said next, told her a little story that kind of fudged the actual truth. "I had just came from the train stop," Shinobu started, "when I had to sit down to rest at the bench at the bottom of the staircase. I didn't notice he was sitting right next to me until a slight breeze knocked something out of his hands and it landed on my lap. It ended up being a sketchbook, and on the open page, it showed a picture of me." Naru started to get angrier, and Shinobu caught wind of it. She continued, "Now hold on, Naru-sempai, I am not finished. He appologized profusely to me. He told me that it wasn't meant to be insulting or perverted or something like that. At that time, I was upset about something, but seeing his drawing of me really cheered me up. After a while, we started talking, and after a few minutes he got up and left. But his sketchbook somehow fell out of his pack. I didn't know he was going to be here, or else I would have taken it to Haruka."
After hearing all of this, Naru started to calm down. She then turned to Keitaro and said, "I guess I have misjudged you after all. You seem to know Motoko pretty well, and you have made Shinobu happy. I appologize for my comments earlier." Keitaro smiled and said, "that's quite alright, Narusegawa-san. I can understand your point of view from what happened earlier, and please be assured that it was just a big misunderstanding."
Just then, the phone rang. Haruka, who was pretty much in the background(or at least in this chapter =P), picked up the receiver. "Hello, Hinata-Sou, Urashima Haruka speaking."
"...."
"Granny Hina, is that you?" Everybody froze in place after hearing what Haruka said.
"...."
"Really? Check the fax machine in the landlord's room? Why??"
"...."
"Are you sure he can handle this?"
"...."
"Okay, if you insist. It's your dorm...Oops, I mean, it's his dorm now."
"...."
"Okay, I'll tell them, although I am not sure how the girls will like it."
"...."
"You too, Granny, and have a fun time."
After Haruka hung up, everyone gathered around her with baited breath. She turned to Keitaro and told him to go to the landlord's room and bring down the faxed message Granny Hina had just sent. After a few minutes in the landlord's room, the girls downstairs heard Keitaro scream. "WHAT IN THE PIT OF HADES IS THIS??" He ran down the stairs back to the living room. "Haruka-san, explain this to me. Why do I have the deed of ownership of Hinata-Sou put in my name???" The girls all gasped when they heard this. Haruka explained. "Since Granny Hina is of galavanting around the world, the place needs a landlord. I can't do it on account of my own business. And since you are the only living relative left, she decided to leave it to you."
"WHAT??" Naru screamed. "A man is going to be the landlord of an All- Girl's Dorm? I don't believe it!! What's this world coming to??' Kitsune said, "Alright, we have ourselves a new landlord, and he's a cutie too!" "Kewlies," Su said. "I gets to have a new playmate!!" Shinobu blushed and said, "Oh, I hope you stay, Sempai. I, I would be upset if you turned this down."
Motoko was the last to say anything. Her emotions were conflicting with each other. On one side, having a male being a landlord of an all- girl's dormatory was completely whacked, basically because the said male would most likely do perverted things. But on the other hand, it was Keitaro-sensei, the only man ever in the 'God's Cry School' that she actually respected and loved all those years ago. She finally said, "Although it is not right that a Male be made as landlord of an All-Girl's Dorm, we cannot go against Granny Hina. So I vote he stays." Oh please, please, say yes, Keitaro-sensei, I've missed you for so long, Motoko thought.
After listening to the majority of the girls more or less asking him to stay, he smiled and said, "I would be honored to be your landlord. Thank you all for your votes of confidence. I always have an open door policy. If ever there is a problem you may have, whether with the dorm or personal, feel free to come to me, and I shall do whatever is in my power to fix. That is my promise to you. And, as Haruka-san and Motoko-chan already know, I NEVER break a promise." After hearing that, everyone started cheering, with the exception of Naru. Somehow, this decision is going to come back on us and bite us in our asses.
And from that point, the lives that lived within Hinata-Sou would be changed forever. But would it be for the better, or for the worst??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And on that note, Chapter 4 is complete. Sorry if it is once again, short. But flying on just 2 hours sleep plus having to wake up at 4 in the morning can really get to a person. Next chapter: the ronin becomes a 'ronin'. And maybe Mutsumi will show up again. Who knows?? =P
As always people, Read and Review!!
Thanx, DarkHeart =P
