LOVE HINA: REINCARNATED SOUL

Love Hina is the property of Ken Akamatsu, Castlevania is the property of Konami, except for Gabriel Belmont he is mine.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Thanks for the positive response q1120790. I think you might want to reread the first chapter,Shinobu's attacker was a vampire. Gabriel really stomped his ass to, and about your question to him thinking that Keitaro is a vampire well the Vampire Killer whip can sense vampires so if Keitaro was one wich he's not the whip would let Gabriel know. However Gabriel may be a little suspicious when I bring Kanako in and of course seeing as this story is a crossover with Castlevania he'll get his chance to enter the castle and face off against Dracula himself. Now on with the story." Oh what a horrible night to have a curse."

CHAPTER FOUR: MEETING MUTSUMI AND A DARK RETRIBUTION

It has only been a few days since Gabriel arrived at the Hinata but is begining to become very well liked by the other residents. His days so far are spent helping Keitaro and Shinobu with the chores around the apartments, teaching Su on the finer points of how tp use a whip, training with Motoko which they have made sure not to demolish the apartments, he has even helped Naru with studying though he admits some of what she is studying in collage is pretty confusing to him. So all in all he apeares to fit right in at the Hinata, though he is still not used to seeing Keitaro sent skyward from time to time.

On this particular day we see a young woman about 22 walking up the stairs towards the Hinat she has dark brown waist length hair, and she is carrying several bags of what appear to be watermelons. "Ara ara I hope everyone has been doing well while I've been gone?" she says. At this particular moment Gabriel is sweeping outside in front of the apartments, when he senses a presence "Someone is coming, I wonder who it is? They don't feel like a threat though." he thinks to himself, he then gets a good look at who it is that's coming up the stairs. "Wow she is very pretty, but then again all the women I've met as of late are incredibly attractive." he thinks, "Um excuse me miss but can I help you?" he asks.

"Oh why hello, and who are you?" she says with a smile on her face "I am Gabriel Belmont, a new resident here," he says. "Really I am to. My name is Mutsumi Otohime, it is a pleasure to meet you." she says just bfore she begins to faint but Gabriel quickly catches her, "Hey miss are you alright say something to me please. Oh no this is bad, someone come out here quick!" he yells. "What's the matter out here?" calls Keitaro as he rushes outside."This woman she fainted." replied Gabriel, "It's Mutsumi, come on bring her inside." Keitaro says.

Once they bring Mutsumi inside Gabriel lays her on the sofa as the others come to see what all the comotion is about. "What is all this noise about? I'm trying to study." Naru says "Oh sorry Naru but this woman she fainted." Gabriel replies. Naru along with the others recognises her "Mutsumi!" they all respond in unison. "Oh Gabriel don't worry about it Mutsumi faints all the time it's pretty normal for her." Naru says, "You mean it's normal?" he says.

"Yes she is Anemic." Naru says "Ah now I understand." Gabriel says."Oh why hello everyone, nice to see you again." Mutsumi says in her usual happy tone "Your awake Mutsumi it's nice to have you home." Keitaro says "It's good to be home but how did I get inside and where are my watermelons?" she asks. "Well as to how you got inside Gabriel caught you when you fainted and brought you inside, as for your watermelons I took them into the kitchen." Keitaro replies.

"Oh so you caught me, thank you very much." she says "No need for thanks I'm just glad you're alright." Gabriel says with a bow. "My but you are cute." Mutsumi says just before she kisses Gabriel full on the lips causeing him to blush. "Mutsumi what are you doing?!" the others yell. She then lets go of Gabriel who simply stands there dumbfounded. "Ara ara, I'm sorry but you were just so cute." she says while blushing. "Wow my first kiss." Gabriel thinks, of course that's the only thing going through his mind at the moment.

Of course two people in particular have very different thoughts going through their minds. Shinobu and Motoko who both have deep blushes on their faces are having the exact same thoughts "I can't belive Mutsumi kissed Gabriel. I'm so jealous, I wish I could kiss him. Oh no I shouldn't be thinking that!" both then turn around to hide their faces in embaressment, of course nobody has actually noticed. Keitaro in the meantime is trying to snap Gabriel out of his dazed state.

"Hey Gabriel snap out of it." Keitaro says while shaking him. "Oh sorry about that I guess I just kind of lost it for a minute." Gabriel replies "That's ok it happens." Keitaro says. At that very moment though Tama enters the room and lands on the head of her former owner. "Why hello Tama how have you been?" Mutsumi asks "Myuh myuh." the turtle replise "That's good, so how do you like Gabriel?" she asks.

"Hey Keitaro why is she talking to Tama as if she understands what she's saying?" Gabriel whispers,"Well she does understand Tama, so does Su." he replies."No kiding? Well now I think I've seen everything." he replies, "So he saved Shinobu's life huh, well that makes him a hero dosen't it." Mutsumi says. "Myuh nyuh myuh." replies Tama "Oh and he's also a vampire hunter, and he's beaten Motoko in a fight, and he's an acomplished musician. Ara ara he certainley has many talents dosen't he Tama."

"Myuh myuh." the turtle replies "Well now seeing as everything is fine now, I think we can all go about our business." replies Naru. "Yeah will you look at the time gota give Su her whip lesson, come on Su!" Gabriel says as he leaves "Yeah I get to learn some new techniques, by Mutsumi and I'll have you for supper later Tama!" Su says as she follows after Gabriel."Ara ara those two sure are in a hurry. I wonder where their off to?" Mutsumi says as everyone else simply stands there with sweatdrops on their foreheads.

After everyone has gone about their business after the incedent involving Mutsumi, Gabriel is outside with Su giving her lesson in the use of the whip. However his mind is not quite on the lesson as it would otherwise be. "Hey Gabriel what's wrong? You seem out of it." says Su "Huh, sorry Su it's just...oh never mind don't worry about it." he says. " I bet I know what's on your mind you're still thinking about that kiss Mutsumi gave you aren't you?"she says teasing him "No that's not it really." he says while blushing.

"Yes it is, I can see you blushing." she says "Uh I uh, hehehe." he responds "I'll bet that was your first kiss wasn't it?" she asks. "Well... yes it was." he says blushing even deeper "Hey don't worry about it Mutsumi kisses just about everyone it's a habit of hers. So tell me what did it fell like to kiss her?" Su asks " No way Su I can't it's really embarising." Gabriel replies. "Ah please tell me Gabriel I really want to know." Su says while hugging him.

"Alright already I'll tell you if you'll just stop!" he says " Okies!" Su replies. " Well let's see it was soft and warm and tasted faintley of watermelon.It was really nice actually." Gabriel says "Well then how about you kiss me Gabriel and you can tell me what it's like." Su says. "Thanks but no thanks Su if I did Naru and Motoko would probably try to kill me. Let's just get back to your lesson ok." he says very seriously "Ah your no fun but alright back to the lesson." she says.

When the lesson is over Su thanks Gabriel but gives him a kiss on the cheek as she leaves. This causes Gabriel to blush, as he goes indide to get cleaned up he thinks to himself about the days events so far. "I have been kissed twice today by both Mutsumi and Su, a girl has never really kissed me except my mom but that doesn't count. It sure did feel nice though when those two kissed me." he blushes at the memories."Man I need to get ahold of myself I'm supposed to be more in control of my emotions." he says while splashing cold water in his face.

Several hours pass and everyone gathers for dinner the meal continues as it normally does. Once dinner is over Gabriel offers to help with the dishe before having his sparring match with Motoko. The match comes and goes with Gabriel coming out the winner as he has in all the ir matches despite the thoughts on his mind. Motoko asks him if anything is wrong as she noticed he didn't seem as focused as he usualy is, Gabriel simply tells her it's nothing and not to worry about it.

When night has fallen most of the residents are in the living room enjoying each others company and playing some games, well every one but Gabriel who is in his room meditating. At the same time an extremely attractivre woman approaches the stairs of the Hinata she is dressed in a rather revealing blood red dress with long white hair that goes all the way down her back she seems to have an air of mystery about her. She smiles and lets out an evil laugh "Soon." she says as she ascends the stairs.

Once she reaches the top she approaches the door and nocks. Shinobu who was up going to get drinks answers the door "Hello may I help you?" she asks. "Why yes you see my car broke down I was wondering if I could come in and use your phone?" she asks "Oh of course come in and I'll show you to the phone." Shinobu replies. "My what a well mannered and pretty young girl you are." the woman comments "Oh thank you for saying so." Shinobu says with a smile.

"I can see why he wanted you now." she said while following Shinobu "What did you say?" Shinobu asks as she turns around to face the woman. What she saw though frightened her the womans eyes had gone from emerald green to a crimson red and she had a vicious smile on her face and Shinobu could also see her teeth she had famgs. "Eeek!" Shinobu screams as the woman grabs her in a fierce hold.

The others rush from the living room when they hear Shinobu's scream. "What's going on !" Keitaro yells, "Don't you dare make a move humans or I'll see to it that she suffers for it!" she says as she places a clawed hand to Shinobu's throat."Who are you and what do you want?" demands Keitaro, "I am Kiriko Kurohoshi and what I want is simple. I want for you and your little friend here to suffer for the death of my childe!" she says with a hiss. "We have no idea what you're talking about, so please let Shinobu go." begs Keitaro.

"You trully are a fool your pleading falls on deaf ears mortal." she says with a laugh. "Urashima she isn't human she is some kind of monster." Motoko says "Well what do we have here some kind of monster hunter?" Kiriko says. "I am Motoko Aoyama heir to the God's Cry school of swordsmanship, and I shall slay you vile creature!" she says while unsheathing her sword "Oh that's very funny you want to slay me do you. Well you'll have to get through them first foolish samurai wannabe!" she says as circles with arcane symbols appeare on the floor in front of Kiriko.

From the circles rise four dishevealed corpses emitting cold and two winged beigns that look like a cross between a man and a bird save with cloven feet. "Everyone get out of here now it is to dangerous!" Motoko yells as she dashes at the monsters while the others take cover. Motoko manages to take out two of the walking corpses but is hit with a blast of ice and cold from one of the winged creatures, she drops to her knees overtaken by the cold. "Hohohoho, what's the matter samurai are my servants to much for you?" Kiriko asks with an evil laugh.

"Damn you to hell!" Motoko says "My such language from a lady." Kiriko replies. "Please don't hurt my friends I'll go with you peacfully if that's what you want." Shinobu says "Oh how honorable of you to say so but no your friends will die along with you." says Kiriko. Suddenly out of no where the two remaining corpses fall to the ground crumbleing to dust while they burn. "Burn!" shouts an unseen voice as Kiriko watches her other two servants fall to their knees and evaporate into the air. "What the hell, who's there you'd better come out now or this girl will die!"

At that moment Gabriel appears in front of Motoko. "Gabriel but how?" she asks "Don't worry about that are you ok?" he asks. "I'm fine but Shinobu." she says "I'll handle it you stay with the others and protect them, alright?" he says, she nods in agreement. "You know if you're wanting revenge for your childe you have the wrong person. Because you see I'm the one who killed him not her." Gabriel says as he glares at Kiriko, "Really so you killed him? Well my dear seems this man has just delayed your death for a short time. You should thank him, you get a few more minutes of life." she says as she pushes Shinobu toward Gabriel.

"Shinobu listen I want you to stay with the others understand?" he asks "Yes." she replies. "Now before I kill you I want to know your name boy." Kiriko says "My name is Gabriel Belmont of the Belmont clan." he replies. "Well a member of the famous Belmont family of vampire hunters. I'll take great pleasure in killing you and I'll prove how weak your family is." she says "We shall see won't we. It's time for you to die monster. You don't belong in this world!" he yells. as he charges Kiriko for an attack.

"You think you can beat me? I am 150 years old you don't stand a chance against me!" she says as she fires several bolts of energy at Gabriel. "150 years old is that all.I have killed vampires twice your age lady!" he says while dogeing the energy bolts. He then executes a Fats Rising followed by an Energy Blast. "Aaahh you little brat that actually hurt. You will pay for that!" she yells as she rushes at Gabriel in an attempt to slash him with her claws. However Gabriel blocks at the last second.

"I will say this you're definatley stronger than your childe, he was pathetic!" Gabriel says with a smirk "You will die human!" Kiriko yells. "I've heard that before. Here why don't you try this. Grand Cross!" Gabriel shouts as he risees into the air while a pair of golden crosses swirl around him searing Kiriko's flesh. "Aaahhhh! Holy power, why you little..." but before she could finish speaking Gabriel strikes her with three strong blows from his whip. "How could a human like you be so strong?" Kiriko asks.

Gabriel raises his hand to the sky " You'll have plenty of time to think it over in hell vampire.Michael's Sword!" he yells as holy energy in the shape of a large cross appears on Kiriko. Gabriel then strikes out with the Vampire Killer and wraps it around her neck, pulling with all his might he removes her head from her neck, killing her. What is left of Kiriko crumbles to dust and simply drifts away.

Once the battle has ended everyone comes out from where they had taken cover. "It's ok everyone it's over she's dead." Gabriel says, Shinobu runs over to Gabriel and embraces him while crying into his chest"Oh Gabriel I was so scared I thought that we were all going to die!" she says. Gabriel places his hand under Shinobu's chin and lifts her head up gently, she looks into his eyes and feels the same comforting feeling she had when she first met him.

"I told you Shinobu you're safe with me around.I won't let anyone hurt you I promise." he says while holding her. "I sure hope this dosen't become a common occurence around here getting attacked by vampires and monsters." Kitsune says, the others agree with Kitsune on her comment. "Do not fear Kitsune if any monsters do attack Gabriel and I should be able to fend them off. Right Gabriel" says Motoko "Right Motoko. I will protect all of you." Gabriel says.

END CHAPTER 4

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Alright chapter four is done that one was actually kind of hard. I have a bit of touble describing normal day to day scenes but find it easy to do action scenes, weird huh. Anyway to those of you who want to know what those monster servants of Kiriko's were the corpses were Frost Zombies and the winged creatures were Frost Demons from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Well please read and review and give me your opinions on who you think I should pair Gabriel up with cause personally I'm leaning towards Shinobu, but then again who can say. "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night."
