Prologue: That Fateful December Morning...

Urashima Keitaro had just finished his midnight shift at the Ramen Hut, and was cleaning up a wet spot on the floor. ( Geeze... I wonder when I'll have enough money for the ring... More importantly... I hope Narusegawa says yes. ) Keitaro takes his wallet out and sees only 200 yen in his wallet. "Damnit! I'm never gonna get this ring!" He placed his wallet inside of his shirt pocket and continues to mop up the mess left by a one-year-old baby, all the while having a dreamy expression on his face. ( I hope Naru and I will have a child together... I want a little girl! I wonder what she wants? Probably a boy, so she can teach him the Narusegawa Punch! ) a hand taps Keitaro's shoulder. "AAAH!" Keitaro shouted, turning around. He saw Shirai, offering to help him clean. "Boy, Keitaro... You can be a real scaredy pants when you want! Haha..." he said, grinning widely. "Heh... Uh, what is it that you wanted Shirai?" Keitaro questioned, clueless that he wanted him to go home early to be with his "Sweetheart"... "Keitaro, I'll finish here... YOU go do something with Naru! You could take her to see Resident Evil 2! I'm sure she'd like that." Shirai said, shooing him away. "Oh... Alright! I'll do it!" Keitaro said, holding one fist up infront of him. "Bai Bai!" Shirai said, waving.

Keitaro hopped into his van, tuned his newly purchased XM Radio to the "Affectionate" Station. "Sweet Child of Mine" was playing its second verse. Keitaro decided to sing the first verse, as the second didn't make much sense. Naru had brown eyes, not blue ones...

"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where evrything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry!"

"Wo oh oh Sweet child o' mine
Wo oh oh oh! Sweet lov-" CRASH!

While Keitaro was singing, he'd made the mistake of closing his eyes while on the highway... In the Fastlane. He'd crunched the front end of his van in, and bashed his head against the steering wheel. But it wasn't over yet... The car he'd hit swerved to the right and hit the median, while Keitaro's van rolled five times, avoiding three cars and finally resting on its driver side in the Left-most lane... Everyone stopped and went over to Keitaro's van. There was blood running down the left side of his face, and he was unconcious. The wallet he'd stuffed in his shirt pocket had fallen to the street. A young man called the hospital and ordered for an ambulance to rush to Highway 2 East. Just then, that young man's wife picked up the wallet and inspected the ID. "Urashima Keitaro is his name... Urashima? Isn't Hinata Sou run by a Urashima?" she said. "I think... I'm gonna call there and tell them their Kanrin was in an accident and to meet at Tokyo Hospital!"
