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.
CHAPTER FIVE: INTERMISSION
Hello there readers I am namaru Prince of Darkness, Scourge of Worlds, and a Love Hina and Castlevania fanboy. Seriously though as you can tell from the chapter title this is an intermission. I figured there were a few things I should clarify about this story that I forgot to, so sorry. This little tale takes place in the manga one year after volume 14 during the four years before the epilogue. This is mainly because that time period is free game for me to have the characters doing what I want without going against the cannon story. Here are the Hinata residents ages for reference as of 2002.
Keitaro: 23
Naru: 21
Shinobu: 16
Motoko: 19
Su: 17
Kitsune: 22
Mutsumi: 24 (Sorry I wrote her as being 22.)
Haruka: 30
Seta: ??? (I can't find anything on how old he is. How anoying. I'm guessing his 30's.)
Sarah: 11
Kanako: 18
Tsuruko: ??? (Yet again I have no clue as to her age. I'm thinking her mid to late 20's.)
Now all these characters will appear at some point in the story so don't worry about not seeing some of your favorite Love Hina characters. I also may bring in some of the characters of Castlevania besides the essentials such as Dracula and Death. Perhaps you would like to see an appearance by Alucard? Let me know what you think on that one? As for any other characters from Castlevania well that will be hard seeing as how everyone who kicked so much ass in those games is dead.
Now I know at least a few people probably don't like the fact that Gabriel can beat Motoko in a fight considering she is two years older than him but I have a good reason for this, and it's not just because that's what I wanted to happen in the story, far from it. Motoko may be two years older than Gabriel and been training in swordsmanship since she was very young but so has Gabriel. Also as far as I have remember in the manga it doesn't say anywhere that Motoko has gone out and actively fought monsters, but Gabriel has been since he was 14 so he has three years of life and death combats under his belt, a significant advantage.
That's not even taking into account the weapons that both he and Motoko favor she favors the sword he the whip. That sword of her's while a great weapon, don't get me wrong I love swords as a weapon as much as the next guy,but is best used up close to an enemy I mean it gives her little more than a two foot reach while Gabriel's whip gives him about an eight foot reach, but you're thinking she could just cut the whip with her sword when he swings at her. If it where a normal whip you'd be right but his whip is stronger than any normal sword could ever be.
Ah but now you might think that's unfair he has a magic weapon, but remember Keitaro gave Motoko the Hina blade so she's got a magic weapon to. Of course Motoko does have plenty of secret techniques to use but then again so does Gabriel with his many combat skills, but that combined with 40 different subweapon attacks gives him versatillity that and all the magic relics and accessories give him quite an advantage. Then again some might think isn't useing all that equipment like cheating?
To some yes to Gabriel it is not the job he has is extremley dangerous,after all for all his skill he is still only human, so any advantage he can get in a fight especially one against a monster he'll take. Personally I would like to have him fight at least once all the major fighters in Love Hina those fights would be hard to say who would win, against Kanako he stands a good chance, Seta that would be a cool one he has no special attacks that I have seen but he has so much combat experience that he would definately give Gabriel a hard time, Tsuruko would be his toughest in my opinion she's had years of training and combat experience coupled with the fact she is just damn scarry when she gets mad.
I also want to explain the name of the story Reincarnated Soul I got the name idea from the song title of the first stage in Castlevania: Bloodlines, there's another reason but if I told you now it would ruin the story so sorry. Also chapter one's title Enter the Killer I got the idea from a hard rock remix of the prolouge song of Castlevania 3 that had the same title by a musician named Goat, so please Goat don't get mad at me I think your music rocks. I also wish to ask if you would like to see any of the Hinata crew enter Castlevania with Gabriel when I finally bring the castle and it's master in.
Well that's about evrything I think, so until next time remember one thing. "I am beloved by the night. You shall know the meaning of true terror!"
