Chapter 3... Backfire...
Still of the night… Naru Narusagawa was left near the balcony. What happened to today was incredibly insane. That wasn't Keitaro Urashima… that was Tsuroko Aoyama. After Tsuroko fell unconscious; everyone's hopes crashed and burn. That wasn't Keitaro Urashima… that was Tsuroko Aoyama. Motoko did say she mastered a very difficult technique , her villagers said that type of technique will make you go delusional. Tears sprang from Naru as she cried silently through the still night of the Hinata Sou. Motoko suddenly appeared near Naru, putting her head on her shoulder.
''I know… Urashima may not be here today…,'' whispered Motoko, ''but I think that he is watching below us… where no mortals could see above the sky.''
Naru grew attached to Motoko's words and wrapped around Motoko tightly, ''Keitaro!'' she cried. Motoko could no longer hold back her tears; her legs grew weak so they both stand on their knees while they were still holding each other. ''Gomen… Naru-chan,'' said Motoko still crying.
Tsuroko could hear them with Keitaro feeling depressed. ''They really do care about me huh, Tsuroko?''
Her head nodded without turning back, ''seeing my sister like this… it hurts.'' Keitaro nodded, yet with tears spring from his eyes, also. His fist clenched tight, with his eyes tightly closed, ''Dammit this isn't how it's suppose to happen, do you think I wanted to see one of residents like this?'' My true love like this… huh Tsuroko… do you think I deserve this carp?!''
With long silence she finally replied, ''careful what you say Urashima… your emotional soul might be drove out of my body.''
Keitaro cursed under his breath, ''just look at them, Tsuroko!'' look! What do you see?''
''… I see two woman crying from a disgusting man like you,'' said Tsuroko in a low tone.
Keitaro shook his head solemnly and stared at the two women, ''I don't get it… we did convinced them… right?''
''No… they think it must be my technique I mastered last night… it makes you very light headed and senseless… I guess this will be harder to convince them.''
''I guess… fate has already chosen my destiny… I'm suppose to die,'' said Keitaro starting to cry.
''Perhaps… but this is what fate exactly want you to do… to give up on your own love and be left to be reincarnated,'' sighed Tsuroko.
Keitaro eyes narrowed down to Tsuroko, ''Gee… thanks for your support!''
Tsuroko gave a light chuckle and smiled towards him, ''We can still make this work Urashima… we can do this together… earn back your love.''
Tsuroko began to walk towards him with a hand reaching him to stand. Keitaro smiled confidently and grasped that hand to help himself up. ''I can do this!'' thought Keitaro.
A moan came from the sleeping bag from where Tsuroko had been left to gain recovery. Her head ache with immense pain so she was left to rub her head to ease the uncomfortable. She than turned her head towards Naru and Motoko whom continue their cries. She stared wide eyed from the surprise, ''Motoko… Naru…,'' she whispered concern.
The two turned towards Tsuroko who awoke with a hurtful face. Motoko smiled, ''Sister… how did you sleep?'' ''Should I tell them the truth?'' thought Keitaro while looking at the two. Tsuroko slowly shook her head, ''let them figure it out for themselves…'' Keitaro nodded at her response.
''Yes, Motoko-chan… that was quite…a relaxing nap eversince that powerful technique I tried to master last night!'' laughed Tsuroko softly.
Motoko smiled, ''well… since you're here… I suggest you come mediate with me.''
Tsuroko, whom was thinking, stared at Motoko and told Keitaro to say exactly what she says.
''Sister… it's strange… your posture is sloppy and you seem to gain at least 2 pounds… have you been doing your training… or no?'' asked Tsuroko sternly.
Motoko's head hung, ''I'm sorry sister but eversince Urashima's loss… I could not concentrate on my techniques.''
Tsuroko sighed, ''such an excuse… when father died… it only took a week to recover from his lost, why must you take a vacation from your training for 3 months when you knew father much more?''
Motoko stayed silent and Naru hugged her, ''we all suffer from Keitaro's loss… because… he was something more than a manager… he was like… the most important family member of them all… because we…''
''We loved him,'' strongly replied Motoko.
Silence thickened the room…
''I see,'' chuckled Tsuroko. ''Well… as you know I will become manager in this dorm, I own the rightful deed in my duffle bag.''
Naru thought for a couple of seconds, ''… but why would Keitaro pass down the deed to you… he never told us about that type of stuff.''
Tsuroko blinked rapidly, ''Urashima and I had a talk while we met… he needed someone trustworthy and responsible… he told me none of the residents can become manager strictly for rules so he passed it on to me.''
Naru shrugged, ''who would've thought he would do something like that.'' She didn't felt like arguing anymore… there was no point in asking anymore questions.
Motoko stared at Tsuroko, ''this isn't right… her Ki is not flowing gracefully as it should… there's something different about Tsuroko,'' thought Motoko.
''Motoko… is there something wrong?'' asked Tsuroko politely.
Motoko shook her head, ''no nothing at all.''
A knock came to the door, surprising the three. ''Ano… dinner is ready, please come downstairs!'' The familiar voice of Shinobu calmed Keitaro, while he was constantly trying to imitate Tsuroko's ways.
''I'm hungry… so Tsuroko… would you please join us for dinner?'' asked Naru.
''Please…,'' pleaded Motoko.
''Ano… I'm not so hungry…,'' sweetly replied Tsuroko.
''Suit yourself Tsuroko-chan!'' laughed Naru.
The two left the room while Keitaro was left with a hurtful face, ''I can feel their pain,'' sighed Tsuroko.
''What?!'' Tsuroko's going to be a manager here?!'' shouted Kitsune from downstairs.
''But-- we have to get ready for tomorrow!'' said Shinobu sounding annoyed.
''But Keitaro's alive isn't it?'' thoughtfully said Su.
''Of course not, Tsuroko is just delusional because of the training she did last night… so Keitaro isn't alive!'' harshly said Naru.
''…, at least were not having another perverted male as a manager… let's just tell her how to become a successful manager like Urashima,'' sighed Motoko.
Everyone became silent and nodded their head with agreement, ''Hai!''
Keitaro shivered; which caught Tsuroko's attention. ''What is wrong Urashima?''
''I just got the chills… this usually means something bad is about to happen,'' said Keitaro scared to death.
''Oh?'' smiled Tsuroko, ''let us rest and prepare for tomorrow… the worse is yet to come…''
How was that? Was it a good recovery from chapter 2 since it was too rush? Well... it's your opinon... I just want to know what will happen for the next chapter... -sigh- any ideas? Well... there won't be pairings for now... maybe there will be.... I dunno I'm still thinking about it! -sigh- hmmm.... will tell me on your reviews please!
