Another Love?
(Chapter 4)
Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina, sadly. I apologize for spelling and grammar. Thank you for the quotation marks advice!
''Urashima?'' The concern of Motoko's voice made him smiled with satisfaction.
''Is there something wrong?'' After the scene of kindly buying the balloon for the little girl, he couldn't help but have that friendly face.
Motoko's head turned and stared right into his dark brown eyes. Keitaro did the same. They were sitting in a boat, for a gentle stroll in the lake. The sunset sank deeper each minute they stared at each other with the silence between them. ''Am I falling for her?'' Keitaro thought while looking at Motoko. ''I can't… I am in love with Naru.'' How will I ever love Naru if I fall for another girl?'' Keitaro's denials slowly disappeared, sinking into Motoko's eyes. He shook his head trying to shake off the trance, ''Motoko I am sorry I am terribly sorry, for forcing you to come here.'' So I think it's best if we go home.''
''Urashima, I think you're trying to avoid me.'' The pleading in Motoko's voice made him winced, knowing that she would ask for something, in return of coming on the date with him.
''Motoko chan, why do you think that?'' said Keitaro shifting uneasily.
''You're still in love with Narusagawa, ne?'' said Motoko trying to get out the truth.
''No, not after what that whore did to me.'' Keitaro's eyes darken like the evil of a lonely man he was. The silence continued and Naru listened to their conversation with Su's device. Naru was shocked of what Keitaro had said to her. It had made her heart sank into despair, and tears were slowly forming. ''Am I actually falling for this idiot?'' thought Naru.
''I do not love the person whom betrayed me with such foolishness of a woman.''
The words hit Naru straight into her heart. Behind the tree, she was listening to Keitaro's insults and he seemed to mean of what he says. She gulped, only hearing the bitter silence Keitaro had left her. She'd only wish what the hell Keitaro Urashima was talking about, and why he was so angry at her. ''Dammit… we were never couples.'' But… we were in love.'' Naru slowly whispered the words with the soft tears sliding on her blushed cheeks. ''What did I do wrong, to upset him?'' What?'' I don't want him to leave me.'' Her sorrow told the true feelings she deeply felt for Keitaro. Her back slide against the tree with so much emotional pain Keitaro had caused her, but deep down inside, she knew she did something wrong that made Keitaro into a total jerk towards her.
She stared one last time at the two having a gentle stroll on the serene lake. As her last look of the two them were done, she ran off with the deep tears, unable to see clearly. She ran into the streets with the cars that almost banged her. She continued to run towards the huge house up the stairs slowly making sounds of her tears. She than bumped into Kitsune and slowly cried on her shoulders. Kitsune was deeply confused but she tried to ease Naru's pain. The two woman held each other with comfort and the love of their friendship seemed to bond like there was no tomorrow. Naru finally had the strength to raise her head and whispered into Kitsune's ear, ''don't leave me…. Keitaro.'' She continued to cry her eyes out on Kitsune.
She finally calmed down and took her to her room, where her bed had been laid. There was, again, silence.
''Naru, does this have to do with Keitaro?'' asked Kitsune concerned. She didn't spoke but she nodded to answer her question.
''Keitaro only won the sparring match so it was just only to take Motoko out to lunch.'' You have absolutely nothing to worry Naru.''Said Kitsune in a comforted tone.
''But they seemed like they were in love!'' They were sitting on a boat and stared at each other!'' It's not fair I saw him first!'' I loved him first!'' Naru cried.
''Than it looks like it's a game a love you must fight.'' Kitsune grinned, ''you will have to challenge Motoko and anyone else who will claim his heart.'' Not only that, but make sure Keitaro falls in love with you.'' Besides I bet he still has some feelings for you, he's just trying not to look like a spineless wimp.'' Kitsune laughed, ''and since he looks manlier… I'll just go after him myself!''
''That's low Kitsune,'' growled Naru. Although the conversation had made her feel better. She was now going to try claim Keitaro's heart and push Motoko out of the way. Even if it has to be Shinobu.
When Keitaro finally arrived home with Motoko, they seemed to stay quite. They were actually thinking about each other. ''Am I falling for him?'' Am I falling for her?'' Kitsune came in with a playful tone, ''Oh Keitaro, taking advantage of sweet Motoko?'' You'd probably saw her body!'' I envy you!'
Keitaro tried to hold his nosebleed but it ended up Niagara Falls when Kitsune kept describing every part of Motoko's body. Motoko was about to kill him with the Katana but Keitaro got a head start to run.
''URASHIMA YOU UNFORGIVABLE PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''
''Oh come on Motoko!'' Any guy would have done the same if Kitsune described it that good!''
''SILENCE!'' MY BODY WILL NOT STAY IN YOUR HEAD AS AN IMAGE!''
''Oh but she was so detailed!'' Very detailed!'' Keitaro had a gleam in his eye.
''ARRRGHHH!!!!!!'' ROCK SPLITTING SWORD!!!!''
''HAHA!'' ''YOU MISS!'' OH NO DON'T YOU THROW THAT CANNON AT ME!'' HEY PUT THAT DOW--- AHHHHHHHHRRGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!''
'' OW OW!!!! THAT HURT YOU COW!''
''WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?''
''WELL IT SORT OF MAKES SENSE! I MEAN MOOOOO- TOKO, GET IT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF A COW LIKE YOU ARE!''
''ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!''
Su laughed, ''for just one date their sure getting along!'' Soon everyone had huge sweat marks on top of their heads.
Keitaro got hurt pretty badly since Su kept throwing bombs and Motoko kept blowing Ki attacks while he was down. He was now lying in a soft bed, groaning from the outcome of the most painful chase ever. He sort of chuckled when he called Motoko a cow. His mind was set back to his condition again, even if he were immortal, he still had some bruises and shallow cut wounds. Keitaro sighed, with both anger and disappointment, and so he drifted off to sleep.
A sound of footsteps continued its path towards Keitaro's room. He, of course, woken up with no surprise. ''Dammit, must be Su trying to sneak in my room, again.'' Although, there was something strange, while the footsteps came closer. The aura wasn't pleasant at all; it was filled with suspicion and deep sorrow. Keitaro harshly sighed and went out the door to see the person whom entered in his presence.
To his surprise, it wasn't Su; it was Moooo, I mean Motoko. He was going to strangle her if he didn't get his rest, soon. Keitaro couldn't help but smirk, ''Nani Shiteru?'' (What are you doing?) Motoko didn't respond, she continued to go towards Keitaro whom she was trying to reach to. ''Urashima… gomen,'' (sorry) Keitaro smirked once more, ''She's sleep walking?'' Motoko stumbled and almost landed on the cold wooden floor, Keitaro cursed under his breath yet he quickly reacted to catch Motoko.
Her soft body meddled against his cheast and her silky hair tangled with his arms. He gulped, ''her body is soft.'' He tried not to explore her body, since it seemed so interesting to him. He started to felt wetness on his shirt, Motoko clench on his shirt and shake heavily. Keitaro was shocked, although his hand awkwardly stroked against her back, to try ease her pain. ''Gomen….'' He felt his heart skipped a beat, ''what was she sorry about?'' said Keitaro in a soft tone. His head leaned closer to her ear, ''don't worry cow… I'll forgive you for whatever caused you this.'' His arms had made a soft grip and held her warmth.
He started to sing softly in her ears, ''A 1000 Words.'' (If anyone is a Final Fantasy X2 Fan you know which song I'm talking about!'')
IN ENGLISH
Your words--
The kindness of a dream?
Covering up all the lies
How unfair
You're leaving on your journey
Coldly you turn your back on me
I heard--you're fighting alone?
How unfair
"I'll be back"
Your voice, passing me by
Being stubborn, pretending to be strong
Turn back time: should I have screamed?
Let loose the tears with a "Don't go"?
Now I can do anything
I couldn't say those thousand words
I'll send them toward your far-away back
Turn them into wings
I couldn't say those thousand words
I draw close to your wounded back
And hold you
The dream continues as I think of you
Pretending to have forgotten about that day
How unfair
"I'll write"
Your voice, eyes averted
Being stubborn, pretending to be strong
Turn back time: should I have gotten angry?
Shrugged my shoulders with a "I can't wait"?
Now I can do anything
Can you hear them, those thousand words?
I'll send them toward your unseen back
Turn them into wings
Can you hear them, those thousand words?
I draw close to your exhausted back
And hold you
I couldn't say those thousand words
La la la la...
I'll send them toward your back
Turn them into wings
Can you hear them, those thousand words?
La la la la...
I draw close to your back
La la la la la....
Keitaro's voice slowly eased Motoko whom stopped shivering from her sorrow. He smiled, ''Am I really that good as a singer?''
He started to carry Motoko to her room, surprisingly, she was light for her height. He chuckled, ''So stubborn yet so gentle.'' Motoko… I think I'm starting to… abandon my plan for Narusagawa.'' He sighed, ''I'm starting to fall for one of the girl's of the Hinata. I'm not sure who it is… it's just so damn hard to explain.'' Maybe.. It's….''
He stared at Motoko whom slept pleasantly, ''And maybe it's you.'' He grinned and tugged the blanket up to Motoko's cheast. He grinned and kissed Motoko on top of the forehead, ''good night, Toko- chan.''
He left the room silently leaving Motoko dumbfounded after he left. ''Was Urashima in my room?'' She shook her head with full doubts, but when she realized something had touched her forehead, she began to wonder. ''Was that a dream.. Or no?''
Motoko began to wonder, again, than tried to drift off to sleep. Naru laid awake in her bed, started to plan how she would earn Keitaro's heart, however it was going to be a long battle….
I am sorry that I called Motoko a cow! -Laugh- that's what some type of person calls me.. damn him! Anywho hoped you enjoy this chapter! I'm sorry if I dissapointed you with no Naru bashing, but she's my 3rd favorite character! Hehehe... I might be evil enough to set a Kei/Naru pairing... nah... I'll think about it.. thanks for the reviews! Ja ne!
