Density and Perceptions 12

Previously:

"Same here." Naru's voice latched on to the end of Motoko's statement, causing Motoko to Look at her somewhat surprised as the redhead continued. "All of this was my fault… I reacted selfishly and nearly paid with my life for my mistake. At the time, I guess I was planning to confess to Keitaro too when Motoko was confessing to him. That made me see red and… I'm sorry…" Naru broke down into sobs, comforted by Kitsune while the group just watched in silence, digesting what had been heard.

Disclaimer: See previous chapters please.

Note: Hmm, funny how Shinobu has a dream and suddenly some1 demands that Shin and Kei hook up… Yes, I know Shinobu is a cutie, but theres a few shin/Kei fics out already. That and I think Motoko's a goddess… Seriously however…

Epilogue: From Dinners to Wise Guys

The rest of that day was fairly quiet. Naru and Kitsune talked within Naru's room. Eventually dinner came around and everyone headed down. Naru however wanted to talk to Motoko a moment.

Naru waited beside the stairs for Motoko to come down from her room. Knowing in her heart that her feelings would not put aside yet. She watched as Motoko finally descended the stairs and put on a friendly smile.

"Motoko, can I speak to you for moment?"

The kendogirl paused as she warily gazed at the auburn haired roommate and nodded slowly, "Very well." She replied as she stopped beside Naru and looked at her as Naru begon speaking.

"I'd to apologize personally to you for the pain I've caused you… The thing is, even with you being his choice… My feelings for him remain in my heart as it would hurt me greatly to get him out of my mind…"

"Get to the point." Motoko interjected.

"The point is my friend, that I hope Kei-kun comes to his senses and returns to me." Naru finished and left a statuesque Motoko at the landing standing expressionless.

"Like you will ever get him back Naru," She whispered to an ampty room, "He's mine for keeps and I will never let him go!"

With that, she went in to the dining room to eat with the others.

While dinner was eaten and enjoyed inside. Outside a heavy fog rolled in, bearing the three famous Hinata Elders.

"You can not learn to love until you can let go." Said the first.

"What has been chosen is now in stone and is boundless." Added the second.

"Those who play with their fists against the one with the sword shall fail. To continually go after something even though its clear that you will never attain it is foolish and unwise." Volunteered the third before he fell to his knees in exhaustion from such a long statement, coughing and wheezing to recovery. The others looked at him and shook their heads.

"Also never say more then one sentence at a time when you are old as we are." The first advised the third smirking into the night just as the third started to get up while glaring at the first…

(A/N: well, that concludes it. Unsure if I'll start a sequel or try a evangelion fic or LH/eva xover or what. Advise on what to write next would be nice… RnR!)
