Hi! Thank you for all of the reviews guys! I made this chapter a little longer, so there is no cliffies... or is there? LoL, you have to find out for yourselves!


I Found You But Now I lost You, Please don't hate me....

Motoko gasped at the scar in Keitaro's back. Her heart melted into heat, wondering if it was the same scar that boy had to take from that stupid turtle. Naru was taking his temputure and lecturing him, of an idiot he was. Naru than realized that Motoko was staring at her with fear, she gave a slight smile and spoke.

''Sorry Motoko-chan but you can't kill him until you get better,'' chuckled Naru.

Motoko blinked and gave a slight nod, ''no I wasn't thinking about that, it's just that I was deep in thought, that's all!''

Naru responded by a nod, too, ''I'll leave you two to rest… okay?''

Naru left with almost her whole body but her hand, ''and don't take advantage of Motoko… that means you, Keitaro!'' The door slammed, causing it to shake; Keitaro responded by giving a long sigh. He couldn't help but closed his eyes from the fever that drowned him into sickening heat.

Motoko couldn't help but stare at Keitaro; her eyes only sticked to his scar deeply cut in his back. Keitaro noticed that Motoko was staring at his scar, what was he going to tell her? I got this from a giant turtle… yeah right!

''Urashima..,'' said Motoko moving her eyes to the corner near Keitaro.

''Erk… uh… What?'' said Keitaro blushing immensely.

''Did you ever made promise something to a three year old girl… deep in a village, hidden in Kyoto mountains?'' Did you ever promised her that you will find her and both of you would go to Tokyo University?'' said Motoko in a very soft tone.

Keitaro eyes widen with surprise, ''How… did you?'' Are you… Toko-chan?''

Motoko gave a slight nod as a response, ''Many people in my village called me that because it seemed somewhat cuter… but I thought it was annoying.''

Keitaro gave an anime fall, ''so does this mean I got your nickname… instead of your real name?'' How stupid of me!''

The tears formed in Motoko at the edge of her eyes, ''Urashima… I kept my promise…. I've been waiting for 13 years… Urashima I…''

Motoko's sentence came to a pause when her head was cushioned to his cheast. Keitaro leaned to her head and gently whispered, ''its okay Toko-chan… I know you kept your promise.''

Warmth of heat aroused the two couples holding each other. Motoko felt Keitaro's hand gently stroking her head and Keitaro felt Motoko's two arms holding him tight as ever. They both gave a slight chuckle.

''I cannot believe that we have found each other…,'' murmured Motoko leaning deeply on Keitaro's cheast.

Keitaro gave a slight nod, ''we can now go to Todai together… well after you finish graduating high school.''

''It's just one more year… I'm pretty sure it will pass by fast,'' responded Motoko looking a little jealous that Keitaro was older.

Even if they were sick, they both felt warmer with the bodies pressing together as a warming sensation. Motoko finally kept her promise, the promise to be with the one person she could truly love and the one person she can go to Tokyo University with. Although, it wouldn't as easy as her thoughts were speaking. Keitaro has a full year to relax because she was about to graduate from Highschool and Naru might misunderstood that Keitaro was just taking advantage of her, so why not keep it a secret?

''Urashima…,'' said Motoko in soothing tone.

''Yes?'' said Keitaro looking more aware.

''Can we keep this a secret, I doubt one of the residents would be allowing this, considering that you're a pervert and all,'' said Motoko with a little laugh.

Keitaro nodded with agreement, ''sure Toko-chan… why not?''

Keitaro moved backwards, giving Motoko more distance between them. Motoko gave a confused look when Keitaro's head turned away.

''Motoko, I know this will sound stupid but we need to act as just friends.'' I know how both of us waited for this moment, however this would be sort of rushing the relationship.'' I think we both need to take this slow, to ensure that our future can be the best for the both of us.'' Keitaro spoke the thoughts that cane right to him so he blushed with embarrassment. Motoko laughed and had caution for the other residents that roam near the room for where Keitaro and she had to take medication.

''Toko, your skills as a swordswoman is quite impressive,'' said Keitaro with a gleam in his eye.

''Not so bad on your ninjuitsu, yourself, Urashima,'' said Motoko with a response.

''We did went to the village… so both of us learned the same thing,'' said Keitaro looking a little nervous.

''Where are you getting at?'' said Motoko slowly catching up to Keitaro's plans.

''Why don't we both spar in the early morning… it is our training routine,'' smirked Keitaro.

''Of course…, Urashima!'' mocked Motoko in a playful tone.

They both laughed but both still had the shocking feeling that they both found each other after all the years of waiting. Motoko finally felt whole… no longer of half of whom she was. She didn't have to feel the dry tears stuck to her soothing white skin. The image no longer intimidates her… no… it keeps her persistent to get in that college, with Keitaro Urashima… her childhood sweetheart.

Shinobu looked at Keitaro whom was mopping the floors for the hot springs; he looked different in some sort of way. He looked more cheerful and serious about his work; no longer giving the grim face and whiny tone but a confident worker with a large pride of the size of Japan. She giggled, and daydreamed about Keitaro lifting off her feet. Slowly disappearing in the blazing red sunset; Shinobu giggled once more.

The Saturday afternoon turned into lunch time at the dinner table, typically Shinobu was the chief. The rich scent of Shinobu's meals quickly caught Su's attention; which caused her to slobber all over her spicy curry. Everyone gave one of those anime style rain drops on their heads. Keitaro would always turn his head to Motoko, and Motoko would do the same; but it would take a moment to realize that Keitaro had one of those blushing red tones on his face. Everyone didn't notice the fact that Motoko and Keitaro were staring at each other, except the woman with long brown hair.

''What the hell is going on here?'' Give me a break… this guy only became manager for three months and he caught this deadly, male hating, innocent, okay maybe not that innocent, but Motoko's attention? Come on… he even looks like a fricken dork! Okay maybe not… since his glasses look like Seta… but what the hell?''

Naru was clenching on her teeth and fork, slowly watching the two of them stare and instantly blush. What… did she like Keitaro? I mean sure she tutors him but that doesn't mean she was falling for him… right after that amazing fight…WHAT?! She was falling for him! I mean, he looks like fricken Seta!!!

''Hmmmm?'' Naru is there something wrong?'' Said a timid voice right across the table.

The voice hit Naru straight in the heart, ''what do you want you bastard?'' Can't a person eat peacefully?'' Why can't your idiotic pervertedness mind their own business?'' Just leave me alone!'' Naru rushed out of her seat and her feet loudly stomped the wooden stairs. As predicted, everyone had a dumbfounded look on their faces.

''What's her problem?'' asked Kitsune while thick silence spread throughout the room.

Keitaro had a hurt look on his face, his head hung from confusion; while everyone stared at the stairs Naru had walken and than stared at Keitaro, both nervously looking back and forth at the conflict that had taken place between the two different people. Motoko, however, also had the same look as Keitaro, but never showed in face, only hidden emotion.

Keitaro left the room right after saying thank you to Shinobu whom seem to look down at her plate. His long baggy pants rustled through the creaking wooden floors near Naru's room. He gulped when he finally met his destination. His fist met with the door but he did not plan to look quickly, so he slides the door as slowly as he can, to avoid any contact from Naru. His courage grew weak but his patience couldn't handle the incredible tension that trembled in his mind. The rush of seeing Naru ran through Keitaro's head so…

''NARU!!!!!!!''

Keitaro eyes widen in awe, his jaw dropped, yep he did it again. Naru's pink panties and bra were almost taken off during the wonderful process of changing.

Naru's fist rose and were about to send Keitaro to Leo, but Keitaro knew what he needed to say. The swift attack almost landed near his head but he ducked, making it look like a lucky dodge.

''Dammit, I'm sorry Naru!'' shouted Keitaro nervously.

Naru looked straight into Keitaro's eyes and shook her head. ''What are you sorry for, Keitaro?'' said Naru in a soft tone.

Opening his eyes, his head rose from the bowing stance he gave. ''I'm sorry… for whatever I did to hurt you,'' said Keitaro in a soothing tone.

Naru eyes turned gentle, ''Keitaro… I….''

Keitaro looked back into Naru's eyes, ''yes, Narusagawa?''

Naru came closer to Keitaro's face; her hand took off his reading glasses. ''Kei… have you ever made a promise to another girl… 15 years ago?''

''What…?'' said Keitaro looking dumbfounded.

Naru took out a picture from her pocket; the picture looked a little bit crumbled but easy to see.

Keitaro eyes widen, three children gathered around a sandbox, along with a liddo- Kun doll beside it.

Naru sighed, ''I found this in Grandma's Hina old photo album.'' Look, what I found in the back.''

''Mutsumi Otohime 5 years old, Keitaro Urashima 5years old, Naru Narusagawa 2 years old, and Haruka Urashima 13 years old. All gathered here for a wonderful memory of the Hinata Apartments.''

Keitaro held the picture tightly with his two hands; his body trembled from what was about to happen.

''15 years ago, whispered Keitaro, 15 years ago, I made a promise with a girl.'' I remembered it like yesterday… we were at Grandma's Hina apartments…a girl… we both promise…''

Naru stared at Keitaro with a sorrowful look in her eyes, Keitaro stills trembles from the other promise he made 13 years ago. The only reason he made another promise… was because of the thought that she moved! They can't find each other if they don't know one of other! How could he be such an idiot? Yeah, like that's a surprise… but it's still a problem!

''Oh shit oh shit oh shit…,'' repeated Keitaro. ''No… it can't be… oh god not…''

Keitaro's hung head rose slowly to Naru, he gave a slight smile, ''I found my first promise girl… I can't believe it.'' After all these years of waiting… I can't believe that you're here.''

Keitaro lost control of his thoughts and his arms wrapped around Naru, ''after all these years… oh god… after all these heart broken years, I finally found you…,'' murmured Keitaro in Naru's ear.

Naru slowly pushed away, ''Keitaro… I know that I made a certain promise… but what if I'm not the promise girl?''

''It doesn't matter Narusagawa… I fell in love with you in first sight.'' Even if you aren't my promise girl… I love you!'' Keitaro exploded with bursting emotions… he was confused. He did love Narusagawa but what about Toko-chan? Was this promise meant to be broken? Was this childhood promise over?

''Keitaro… I… I….,'' Naru had tiny balls of tears at the edge of her eyes. He just confesses to her… he said those three simple words that are really hard to say… he said I love you.

There was a small creak near Naru's door, both of the two heard the intruder coming near in their presence.

Motoko was standing outside, hiding her eyes with her long bangs.

''Urashima… I heard everything… I hope your happy… you found your first promise girl.'' Motoko slowly left from where Keitaro had finally confessed.

Keitaro felt like he was about to crack… he loves Naru but what about Motoko? Confusion took over his mind, he didn't want to leave Naru nor did he want to leave Motoko. Keitaro turned to Naru whom also looked shock, ''Naru… I have to check on her… let's talk about this later!''

Keitaro rushed out of the room and checked at Motoko's room, ''Motoko!''

''Sempai… is there something wrong?'' said Shinobu coming up the staris.
''Shinobu-chan, did you see Motoko passing by?!'' blurted out Keitaro.

''Well, she rushed out of the room, she says she's going home to visit her family… why do you ask sempai?'' said Shinobu looking worried.

''Why are you so calm about this?'' said Keitaro more interrogating.

''Motoko usually visits her family a lot and she does go out for training, so it's really no surprise!'' smiled Shinobu.

''Thanks Shinobu!'' Keitaro rushed out to Haruka's Tea's house, ''Haruka!'' I need to know where Motoko's home is at, please tell me the current location!'' panted Keitaro.

''Why the rush, Nephew?'' asked Haruka curiously.

''Dammit, you old hag, just tell me where she is!'' scowled Keitaro.

Haruka punched Keitaro in the face but answered his question, ''she lives in a village, your going to need to ask Grandma Hina, for that information, but she's out.''

''I don't care!'' I'm going to search for her, she couldn't of have gone too far!'' shouted Keitaro taking off.

Haruka shrugged, ''Kids…''

''I'm going to find you, Motoko, I'm going to find you!'' I'm sorry… I'll make it up to you…''

''MOTOKO!!!!''
