Chapter Seven: Who's Keitaro Taking Out to the Dance?
"Naru! Naru!" Keitaro called out.
It was half past six and Naru had been passed out for nearly an hour or so already. Keitaro was kneeling beside Naru's futon, helping her keep cool with a wet towel. The rest of the Hinata girls were all very worried about Naru's health.
"I think she's having a fever," Motoko said when she placed her hands on Naru's forehead.
"Naru.." Keitaro said with a small voice, "..she must have been working too hard...."
"Oh..poor Naru..."Su said as she peered over Motoko's shoulder.
"Hey, she's beginning to stir awake!" Kitsune cried aloud, her finger pointing towards Naru.
They all gasped and turned their heads in Naru's direction. Naru winced as she tried to bring herself awake. Slowly, she opened her heavy eyes, squinting to the light of her room. Her vision soon cleared up from the haze, and she could make out all her friends' faces looking down at her.
"Mina-san..." Naru said.
"Naru, Are you okay?" Keitaro asked, his eyes searching for an answer.
Naru looked at Keitaro's worried face and realized that he had been by her side, keeping her cool all along.
"Keitaro..."
"Narusegawa....."
"Um..*ehem* Kitsune cleared her throat as she began, "Does anyone know we have guest right now?"
"Huh?" they all questioned as they turned their heads, and realized that Mutsumi was standing by the entrance doorway.
"Ara, Konichiwa!" Mutsumi greeted as she walked into the room in a beautiful, long, violet dress. Her usual curly hair was tied into an exotic, yet beautiful bun, with a few strands of her hair coming down stylishly to her shoulders. Mutsumi clasped her hands together, then raised one of them in front of her mouth and said, "Ara, Narusegawa...you're sick?!"
"Yes Mutsumi-chan," Naru replied weakly, with the towel still on top of her forehead. She pulled the covers of her futon closer to her as she sneaked a little further into her futon.
"Oh my," Mustumi said with her hand still in the position that looked as if she was covering her mouth, "But you have to go to the dance with Keitaro today!"
"Oh yes! I've totally forgotten about that!" Naru cried as she jumped to a sitting position from her futon.
"No! No! Naru!" Keitaro cried, forcing Naru back down to rest, "You've got to get some rest...we could always go next year!" He lied.
"...no," Mutsumi said as she responded to Keitaro's comment about going together next year, "the dance won't take place in another 3 years!"
Everyone turned their heads menacingly towards Mutsumi, throwing dark glares at her for making that last comment. Mutsumi sweatdropped, "Ara, Oh my...."
"But Naru! You're sick!" Keitaro said, "I won't go too! Okay?!"
"No!" Naru insisted, "You mustn't not go! This event is very special! You must go! I don't want you to miss out on this special occasion because of me!"
"But Naru.."
"No buts Keitaro!" Naru said as she held up her fists in the Naru punch ready position signaling for another one of her famous Naru punches.
Keitaro held his hands out, calming Naru before she throws the killing punch at him.
"Alright," relented Keitaro feeling a little intimidated. "But I don't have a partner!" Keitaro said once again, trying to persuade Naru to change her mind.
"What do you mean you don't have a partner..." Kitsune said, her eyes narrowing, "Do you think all us girls here are not good enough for you?"
"No! No! It's not like that!" Keitaro said, waving his arms around the room trying to explain. "Argh..life was hard" he thought.
"Yes, Yes, We get it Keitaro," Kitsune said, her hand moving up and down, producing a sarcastic gesture, "You just want Naru to be with you eh?"
"NO! That's not it!" Keitaro explained, blushing so heavily that he was almost sweating.
"Fine then, you could take me!" Kitsune suggested as she ran through Naru's closet for a dress.
"Why take you?" Su said, half to herself.
Kitsune heard the remark and said, "Because I'm the most mature of all you here!"
Keitaro allowed Kitsune to be his partner since he had just wanted to please Naru so any girl would do. He knew deep inside that Kitsune had only wanted to go because of the champagne and wine Toudai had there. Sulkily, he walked back to the inn's living room Suddenly a phone called rang and Motoko hurried down from Naru's room to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is Seta," the voice from the receiver announced.
"Oh it's you Seta-san..are you calling for a re-match?" Motoko asked eagerly.
"No, that's not the reason why I called," Seta explained, "I need to leave for an excavation today and I need someone to look after Sarah for me."
"Oh," Motoko said, a little disappointed, "Well I guess I could look after Sarah for you. The others have things to do so I don't think they could help you.
"Arigatou Motoko-chan!"
Motoko hanged up and went back to see how Kitsune was doing with her dressing.
"Kitsune! Are you finished?" Motoko asked, a little frustrated of her friend's picky behavior.
"Hey geez, a girl has got to keep up with her appearance.." Kitsune said, "and besides, it's Toudai we're talking about here..all those smart and rich guys I will be surrounded by...an ocean of riches..pools of alcohol....and there's always Seta...." Stars were beginning to twinkle in her eyes as she clasped her hands together, daydreaming.
"Uh...Kitsune!" Motoko called aloud sarcastically, so that Kitsune would snap out of her daydream, "Seta can't go because he has an excavation project!"
"HUH????" Kitsune asked, eyes widening, "How did you know?" "Cause he just phoned telling me to look after Sarah for him," Motoko explained.
"Oh!" exclaimed Kitsune, "then I must be there to help him too! Sarah and I are so compatible with each other!" (not!)
'But you promised Urashima!" Motoko said.
"Who cares!" Kitsune said, changing back into her normal clothes, "It's JUST Keitaro!"
"Fine, you'll have to go tell him then!" said Motoko.
"Keitaro!" Kitsune called out after changing back into her regular clothes.
"Yes?" Keitaro answered. When he saw Kitsune in her regular clothes, he got shocked and asked, "Why aren't you in your dress?"
"I'm not going to the dance with you any more Keitaro" Kitsune said.
"WHAT?!" Keitaro exclaimed, his brain erupting with thoughts. "How am I to explain to Naru?" Keitaro thought to himself, fearing that he would make Naru disappointed.
"Hmmm...."Kitsune thought for a minute, then suddenly, an awesome idea struck her, "Why don't you take Motoko-chan!"
"Motoko?" Keitaro exclaimed, his face blushing.
Motoko saw this and immediately unsheathed her sword, pulling the sharp edge of the blade up Keitaro's neck, "Why were you smiling Urashima?"
"Nothing.."Keitaro said shakily.
"Would you go to the dance with me Motoko-chan?" Keitaro asked, with eyes filled with hope.
"Give me 3 good reasons why I should!" demanded Motoko, arms across her chest.
Keitaro thought for a while, trying his very best to think up three good reasons why Motoko should go out with him. "Ummm...first, because you are too stressed with your training and you should relax a bit. Second, because...er..because I could take you out for dinner and anywhere you want to go after...and lastly because...um.. because I can do most of the chores around the inn afterwards until Narusegawa gets better."
"Hmmm.."Motoko thought to herself, "his reasons seem pretty good. And I guess having a little break couldn't hurt."
"Fine Urashima," Motoko finally announced, having to go through serious thinking, "I will go to the dance with you."
"Ah, Arigatou Motoko-chan!" Keitaro thanked, bowing low to show his gratitude.
Motoko quickly ran to her room to change after borrowing a long dress from Naru. It was a long, red dress with beautiful flower patterned knitted into the fabric. It fitted her perfectly, showing her athletic figure. She quickly tied up her hair so that it no longer ran boringly down her shoulders, but resembled a bit of Mutsumi's exotic bun.
"I'm done," Motoko said after five minutes of dressing.
Keitaro looked at the feminine version of Motoko. She was indeed very attractive. His eyes laid fixed onto Motoko and Motoko soon got suspicious of what he was thinking inside his mind.
"What are you thinking about you pervert?!" Motoko cried aloud, punching Keitaro. Her punches were indeed very powerful, enough to match Naru's, causing Keitaro to fly across the room, crashing against walls, one by one.
"Now let's go," said Motoko, standing patiently by the door, waiting for Keitaro to join her.
"Motoko-chan..."
