By Daimyo Shi
I don't own Love Hina. I wish I had Keitaro's ladies luck, or Motoko's love which ever the genie will give me.

Shinobu put on a loose fitting blouse and a long skirt and looks in the mirror. (I have to admit I do look a little like Naru and Mutsumi. Still I am still me . . . I have to admit, I never though I look this pretty.) Shinobu spins around allowing the air to flow around her raising her skirt. (I wonder what school is going to be like now? I have the body of a 18 year old now. Well it is in two months before I have to go back maybe I can blame a growth spurt. After all it not like I was developed at all.) Shinobu admires herself in the mirror a moment more before she leave her room for the Kitchen. She only makes it a few metres down the hall before bumping into Daimyo Shi.
"Have you thought of what you will tell Naru and Keitaro?" asks Daimyo Shi.
"Iie, I guess I tell them everything the same except that my wish was to be more grown up. How does that sound?" says Shinobu.
"Sounds plausible, just remember the secret to good lies is to always keep them constant so I would advise that you tell everyone who doesn't already know the same thing including Talon."
"Ok, sensei. I going to start Dinner now." says Shinobu.
"What are we having?' asks Daimyo Shi.
"Soba. Motoko asked if we could have it. Also some sushi since Soba is such a simple meal."
"Ah Soba! Thank you Shinobu. I too very much like Soba." says Daimyo Shi before continuing the Men baths.
Shinobu nods at Daimyo Shi and then continues down to the kitchen. She begins working on dinner.
Daimyo Shi is now sitting in the mens' bath tub relaxing in the hot water. As Talon come in.
"How is the water." asks Talon.
"Hot, don't you just lick yourself clean?" asks Daimyo Shi.
"Dude that just wrong! I a tiger not a house cat! Beside that would be just nasty!" says Talon with a look of distaste.
"Hey just kidding." says Daimyo Shi.
Talon take of his clothes and washes his fur and rinse before sitting in the tub(1).
"Was that really Shinobu?" asks Talon.
"Yep in the flesh." says Daimyo Shi.
"Uh how?" asks Talon.
"She found a lamp with a genie in it, and wished to be more grownup."
"Well she more something I mean . . . she is quite beautiful."
"I see, does Tori have competition then?" says Daimyo Shi with a Smirk.
"No, that not what I meant." growls Talon as he bears claws on his right hand.
"Yep I scared now." Says Daimyo Shi in response as he hosts his bokken out of the bath water.
"What the?! (2) do you go ever where with that?" says Talon "That is kind of sick."
"Not quite as sick as the fact there some fangirl out there imagining a very Yaoi conclusion to this scene." says Daimyo Shi.
"Gross man I didn't need to know that." says Talon.
Daimyo Shi get out of the Bath and dries himself off. It puts on a cotton robe. "Yeah well we shall see how Naru reacts."
"What about Keitaro." asks Talon.
"Well we shall find out how dumb he can be, won't we." says Daimyo Shi.
"True, I think." says Talon.
Daimyo Shi leaves Talon in the men's bathroom and walk down stair to his room.
Shinobu was making dinner as Kanako walked into the kitchen. Kanako pulls a Tanto from somewhere in her blouse and points it at Shinobu. "Who the hell are you?" shouts Kanako.
"Kanako, it is I, Shinobu." says a very scared Shinobu.
Kitsune hear the yelling in her room and quickly dashes to the kitchen to find Kanako threatening Shinobu with a tanto.
Shinobu is crying now.
"Kanako, what the hell are you doing?" snarls Kitsune.
"This girl is trying to poison us. What else would a stranger be doing in the kitchen." says Kanako.
"This is Shinobu, Baka-onna."' says Kitsune.
"She is Shinobu?" says Kanako with uncertainty in her voice her stance shifts to one more relaxed.
Daimyo Shi comes running into the kitchen after hearing Kanako's shout. "Kanako! Put that away." says Daimyo Shi harshly.
"Yes, sensei." Kanako puts her Tanto away.
Daimyo Shi sighs "I really should have thought of this. Kanako this is indeed Shinobu-chan. I sorry to both of you for not having the foresight to have though about this." says Daimyo Shi with a Deep bow.
"But how?" asks Kanako.
"I when into a little shop down in Hina city and found a old Arabian lamp that had a genie in it. I rubbed the lamp freeing the Genie. Since I was tired of looking like a little girl I wished to be all grown up. Thus I now look like this." says Shinobu with a slight blush.
"Oh, I see. So what are you doing?" says Kanako.
"Making dinner of course. As I always do." says Shinobu.
"I see well I sorry then." says Kanako as she grabs a bottle of Code Red mountain dew from the fridge.
"Well now that settled I have a racing form to check." says Kitsune as she leaves the kitchen. Kanako leaves as well.
"Well I guess everything will be smoother from now on." says Daimyo Shi.
"I suppose." says Shinobu.
"I am sure of it." says Daimyo Shi. Though perhaps I should tell Su." says Daimyo Shi.
"That might be a good idea." says Shinobu.
"I will see to it right now." says Daimyo Shi as he leave the kitchen. Daimyo Shi walks up the stairs and knocks on Su's door.
"Su is in, who is it." says Su voice in the room beyond.
"It is Daimyo Shi, Su. Can I come in?"
"Sure." says Su.
Daimyo Shi opens the Door to find Su working on some mechanical contraption the size of a small car.
"Uh, Su I just came to tell you that Shinobu has under gone a little change. She found a Lamp and the genie inside made her all grown up." so if you see a girl down stairs that has the same hair colour as Shinobu it because it is Shinobu not someone else." says Daimyo Shi.
"If Shinobu is grown up does that mean that She won't play with Su anymore?" asks Su with a sad look.
"Uh, I wouldn't think it prevent her from playing Su." replies Daimyo Shi. "I sure she not change much other than physically."
"Oh . . . Su sees." says Su with a hint of sadness still in her voice.
"Anyway I just wanted to inform you, Su." says Daimyo Shi as he returns to his room.
---------------------------------------
Kanako is sitting on her futon hugging a Rei from EVA Plushie.
"I wonder what Onii-chan will think of the new Shinobu. I mean she certainly attractive, will she be more competition for Onii-chan's love?" ponders Kanako. Kanako looks a picture of Her and Keitaro at Disneyland Japan. "Onii-chan I only want you love. Why do you prefer that red headed own Bitch over your own sister." says Kanako to herself. She cuddles the Rei plushie to her chest as a single tear runs slowly down her left cheek.

Daimyo Shi is working on his fanfiction as there is a knock on his door.
"It is Kitsune, I want to talk."
"Come in." says Daimyo Shi.
Kitsune enters the room as Daimyo Shi's Cd Player begins to play 'Material Girl' by Madonna.
"Cute, you have that cued up to play fitting songs for everyone that walks into you room?" asks Kitsune with a sarcastic bite to her voice.
"No of course not." says Daimyo Shi as he carefully puts the CD remote into his pocket. "What can I do for you Kitsune?"
"I was wondering, what kind of Chaos are you expecting when Naru and Keitaro meet he now well endowed Shinobu." says Kitsune.
"Well I have expect, Keitaro to get a nose bleed at which point Naru will belt him into the sky after she finished with that I expect her if she has any real feelings for Keitaro to get REALLY jealous since Shinobu is better package physically than Naru."
"I understand why you had Shinobu alter her story but do you think anyone will believe it? Also do you think Keitaro will be able to resister. After all the Genie said that she was the perfect girl for Keitaro.' says Kitsune.
"Well I am thinking that the genie was only thinking in physical terms because Shinobu hasn't change in temperament or the like. She still the same shy girl." says Daimyo Shi.
"This is true at least given her behaviour during the shopping trip. Uh Daimyo Shi, you are not attracted to her are you? I mean after the little stunt you pulled on the street." asks Kitsune.
"Nani? Uh no I mean not in romantic manner, I would have done the same for anyone in my charge. It simple was a matter of protection. I would dishonour my ancestors if I did not do so." says Daimyo Shi.
"One of these days that will get you into trouble, in Japan you can't just do that. It not the way it works here." says Kitsune.
"I cannot be something that I am not just because I live somewhere else. I will not stain my honour in such a manner. I will defend any woman being accosted in any manner. I can not dishonour my ancestors but not doing so. I am a samurai and a Knight. I do thank you for you concern though." says Daimyo Shi.
"I see, well Motoko still your choice number one, ne." says Kitsune.
Daimyo Shi Blushes slightly and nods.
"Oh well, there not accounting for some people's tastes."
"Hey, you sound like me talking to Keitaro with Naru."
"Oh really who have you been trying to match Keitaro with?" asks Kitsune.
"Uh, Mutsumi." says Daimyo Shi reluctantly.
"I see, I thought she was hot for him still she never seems unhappy about losing to Naru." says Kitsune.
"Well it just her nature, Personally I be happy if Keitaro would be involved with anyone other than Naru." says Daimyo Shi.
"Oh even you beloved Motoko?" says Kitsune.
Daimyo Shi bites back slightly, in a forced restraint "If Motoko is happy with Keitaro then I wouldn't come between them."
"HAHAHAHAHA, I guess if it happen you and Mutsumi could console each other for being the noble 'as long as they are happy' would be lovers."
"I suppose." says Daimyo Shi flatly.
"Oh well I doubt that Motoko is going to take a serious interest in Keitaro so you are safe there." says Kitsune.
As Kitsune walks out 'Bitch by Meredith Brooks come on Daimyo Shi's CD player.
As if to respond to the song Kitsune says "I know I am, and I like it."
Daimyo Shi can't help but chuckle at that one as he turns back to his Fanfiction.
-------------------------------------
Naru come in from her shopping and put her bags next to the stairs as she take a bottle of Coke to put in the fridge.
"Kuso, I don't understand why everyone is drinking that Mountain Dew Code: Red it tastes terrible." Naru walks in on Shinobu putting the finishing touches on her sushi roll.
"Who the hell are you?" asks Naru in her Bitch voice.
"It is I, Shinobu, Naru-senpai." says Shinobu.
"Huh? What happened? You are so grown up!?" stammers naru
"Well when I was doing the shopping a came across an odd little story where I bought an Arabian Lamp. I brought it home and was cleaning it up when a genie popped out of it and he gave me one wish so I asked to be grown up." replies Shinobu.
Naru Blinks twice "I . . . I see, Shinobu. Uh I just wanted to put this pop in the fridge." says Naru.
"Certainly Naru-senpai, don't let me be in you way." says Shinobu with a smile. (She is taking it better than I thought she would.)
"Thanks." says Naru as she places the pop in the fridge. Naru then leave the kitchen and heads for her room. She place her shopping beside the closet. She then sits on the floor leaning against the wall. (Shinobu is . . . beautiful. What is Keitaro going to think. How can I stop him from falling in love with her, the pervert. Keitaro is my punching bag I not sharing!) thinks Naru.

Japanese terms
Kuso: something along the lines of Shit.
Iie means No
Sensei used often for professional people like teachers, doctors and the like. My Job at in Hina City is that of a English teacher.
Senpai roughly means senior as student very common in Japan. In Ranma ½ it used often with Takiwaki Kuno which is why in the dub he called Upper class man Kuno. Shinobu often uses it with Keitaro, while it is true it also is seen as being a hint that Shinobu is fond of Keitaro since Keitaro often calls Naru by her last name with a similar romantic intent.
-chan, honorific means small or little often used between parents and children, sometime between friends can be use between lovers too. Most often used for girls.
-kun, Sort of a male version of Chan but more masculine often used between friends and older people to boys that they know. Kei-kun is a favourite of Mutsumi for Keitaro.
San is Mister or Miss, a polite way to address an inferior or an equal. Note that both this and sama are used with a family name which in Japan come first
Gaijin outsider/foreigner not always polite thing to say.
Ahou Idiot, it is a Kyoto term rather than the Baka which is more of Tokyo term. Motoko uses it occasionally but it biggest user is Saitou Hajime in Rurounin Kenshin hence why I like the term.
Aa a masculine and rough way of saying yes
Aku Soku Zan: According to Rurounin Kenshin this is the motto of the Shinsengumi. It means roughly slay evil instantly.
Hai yes
Hentai Pervert
Onii-san means big brother
