Thanks to…: Thank you Samurai Demon God! The weapon of Kodachi is the guy from Kenshin… his name is Aoshi… yeah? Well thank you for your reviews… I didn't get as much as I wanted but I really like this story and I'm going to continue this! And Innortal thank you for the advice!

Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina but I do own Toko-chan! And no one can stop me from saying I don't! Now will you excuse me…, ''come here girl!'' Come Toko-chan!'' –Toko-chan comes out and licks my face- Good doggie!'' –Laughs-

Notconfident's latest discovery: Ken Akamatsu's favorite character is Motoko Aoyama from Love Hina because of her personality and how the way she looks. If Keitaro chose her in Manga, the story wouldn't flow… so that's why Ken likes Motoko the best! For reals, I'm not lying I find it on the Internet!

Getting six more girls in one day… Chapter 2

''We need to get our revenge…,'' growled the tan foreign girl out of distress. The other girl, whom also had blonde hair and blue eyes nodded with initial understanding. ''Su…,'' she sighed, ''my papa taught us one of the best marital arts in this Dynasty … why are you so worried?'' Su only narrowed her eyes, ''he only taught us the basics.''

Sarah sighed once more at Su's complaints, ''don't worry… we are one of the assassins… one of the best at our age… I'm sure we can defeat those stupid Government Lap dogs!'' She let out a cruel laugh, ''besides… the basics for this martial arts… has just enough power to defeat that weakling… and… he has a girl.''

Su shook her head slowly, ''Sarah… what are you thinking?'' As part of our clan, we must only harm who we must assassinate.''

''But we also have to do what we have to do to assassinate out target,'' she shot back calmly.

Su was about to whine but she knew that would only make the argument worse. She sighed in surrender and looked sternly at Sarah. ''Okay… but let's not harm her… alright?'' Sarah gave a slight waver of her hand, ''I hate it when we play cute.''

Su laughed, ''But… don't you love it when we reveal our true selves?'' Sarah agreed to let out a simple laugh. Her eyes started to get very serious, ''C'mon… let's go assassinate that buffoon!''

Assassinating the Buffoon… (Keitaro Urashima)

Shinobu lay comfortably on the soft bed which cushioned behind her hard back. ''Oh Sempai-Urashima… thank you for taking me with you…'' She closed her eyes and let out a delightful sigh. Keitaro, whom only looked out the window, gave a weak smile and had thoughts about the mysterious woman whom appeared. Her features… her beauty… it aroused him so much… he wanted to take her right there. He laughed at his own thought, ''take her?'' he thought. ''I'm like those two idiots… I'm just amused with her beauty… I can never think of another woman right now… because I love her.''

He turned to Shinobu and laughed, ''don't worry about it… and to make you feel safer… I'm not the kind of guy to just touch a girl… I swear.''

Shinobu blushed rapidly, ''oh… don't worry Sempai-Urashima… I trust you.''

Keitaro chuckled, than something alarmed him. There was something coming straight towards him… no… straight towards Shinobu.

Keitaro quickly reacted and yelled, ''Shinobu get out of here!!!!!! ''

He was too late; he only heard a scream in the distant, echoing away. Than… we he saw where Shinobu was taken, he saw a floating leaf. Keitaro growled in distress and slammed his fist on the wall. It cracked immensely and he sensed something again. ''What the hell?'' he thought. As he turned again, he saw a dagger coming straight towards him.

He only stood calmly with a frown and swiftly caught the dagger with only two fingers. Surprisingly, he found a note.

Dear Buffoon,

If you would like your little girl back, I suggest we meet around the bamboo forest… it's not that far really. It's just a fight to the death for her… if you don't come by the time the Sun raises… she dies, understand?

Love, The assassins from the east.

Keitaro had a huge sweatmark, ''wow… this is so convincing…'' Than his head looked towards his destination. ''Carp… the Bamboo forest is miles from here… I don't know what to do… ugrrrhhh… this isn't part of my plan!'' He paused for a short moment, ''wait… the assassins from the east!'' They can give me information of the Shemnrai Ryu!''

He smiled, ''… I can get there… in the nick of time!''

The idea struck him deeply, ''… why only till Sunrise?'' I don't have that type of speed… dammit!'' I have to hurry!''

The Bamboo Forest….

''Don't cry little girl,'' laughed Su. ''We just came to play!'' Shinobu only squirmed from being tied in a bamboo tree. ''Who are you?'' she asked bravely.

''Who are we?'' mocked Su, ''the question is…who are you?'' Sarah slapped Su's head, ''that didn't even made sense… and get serious about our introduction… we'll be the laughing stock of the Hinata!''

Su groaned and rubbed her head to ease her pain, ''you think he would be here by now?'' I mean… Sunrise is a little too short to get here…''

''Oh shut up!'' Sarah blurted. ''See?'' This is why some of our plans don't work, because of your unconfidence and small brain!'' Heck, I don't even know if you even have a brain!''

Su gave Chibi eyes, ''But—but…''

Sarah pouted, ''hnnn… you have no brains!''

''Hey!"' That's mean!'' shouted Shinobu.

''You stay out of it, girl!'' growled Sarah.

''But…,'' Shinobu started to get teary. ''you guys are friends… sniff and friends should stay nice and happy together.''

Sarah twitched, ''… no seriously… why didn't we kidnap his horse?'' She sighed, ''besides… SU wouldn't fall for that piece of carp… right?''

When Sarah narrowed her eyes towards Su, her jaw dropped open. Su was hugging Shinobu tightly, ''best friends forever!'' Shinobu chuckled and replied, ''Yea!'' Sarah slapped her head and dragged it down her face, ''oh kami… why me?''

Back to the Buffoon… -Ahem- I mean Keitaro….

As he continued to gallop the region, he still had thoughts about the mysterious woman that appeared before him. Gentle yet untouchable… He shook his head roughly and encouraged the horse to move much faster. As he rushed through the open field, he saw someone which made his hopes rise. He saw her. The coal black hair that reached her silky hakama… she seemed to be talking with a farmer… a woman farmer? He silently stopped his horse and reached the nearest tree to spy on her conversation.

''Wait… there's something different about her..,'' thought Keitaro.

''Kitsune Konno… are you a farmer here?'' Kitsune wore a loose and baggy Kimono and tarnished pants with regular carved sandals.

''What's it to you?'' grinned the one called Kitsune.

''It seems that there has been some sort of theft involving the horses around the territory of the Shemnrai Ryu…''

Kitsune let out a dramatic gasp, ''Motoko-chan… how could you accuse me of stealing your leader's horses?''

''As you agreed, you're an assassin of the east, and you temporary worked with us for a while… although, your cunnings of trickery has gone too far.'' You are an imposter, for you are not an assassin but a thief.'' Replied Motoko coldly.

Kitsune shook her head, ''come now Toko-chan… you should now that I am a merchant and that I need money to survive.''

Motoko leaned in a little and whispered, ''as part of my duty… I must assassinate you for your sins… although… I am giving you a chance to run in a count of three.''

Motoko went back to her posture and narrowed her eyes coldly, ''Go or die.''

Kitsune stood frozen to the ground when she saw Motoko's thumb on the hilt of her blade. ''One…''

Kitsune opened her eyes seriously and stared into the shades of Motoko's eyes that were hidden by a straw hat.

''Two…''

''Thre—'' Motoko was suddenly cut off.

''No… I am not the imposter here… you are!'' Kitsune jumped back and quickly grabbed her bow and arrows. Aiming steadily and yet quickly and in one single motion, the arrow went directly towards ''Motoko's'' throat. The imposter staggered to her knees and coughed up blood. ''How…?'' she gagged while she stared at Kitsune.

''Your power is to use tricks… but since I am the fox… I can see through your childish play,'' laughed Kitsune. ''First of all… my Toko-chan would not threaten me… second… she would not easily reveal herself about the Shemnrai Ryu… and third…, Kitsune paused with a smile, ''she's a lot prettier than you.'' The woman gagged and disappeared in black smoke. ''Ninjas…,'' laughed Kitsune.

''Huh?'' Kitsune turned to the tree where Keitaro was hiding. ''You can come out now…'' Keitaro moved shamelessly and stared at Kitsune, ''hey…'' Kitsune gave a quick glare at Keitaro for a second and aimed her arrow at him. Keitaro widened his eyes and waved his arms frantically, ''… come now violence doesn't solve anything!''

''I can't let you live after what you just saw honey,'' chuckled Kitsune.

''Look!'' I won't tell anyone I swear!'' Keitaro even begged on his knees.

''He actually looks harmless…,'' thought Kitsune whom still held her arrow pointing towards Keitaro's forehead. ''Still,'' she muttered under her breathe…, ''I can't risk Motoko's identity…''

Keitaro gave a pause of silence and stared confidently at Kitsune. ''Tell me… why do you want to live?'' asked Kitsune tightening her arrow.

''Because… I need to save someone before sun rise and I need to keep a promise.''

''So…,'' whispered Shinobu. ''Why do you want to kill Sempai- Urashima?''

Sarah only snarled at Shinobu while Su calmly explained the situation. ''4 Years ago…,'' started Su, ''our village were rampaged by the soldiers of the Government.'' They needed emergency tax money… and…'' Su paused as if she were about to cry. ''And that stupid monster wanted woman to leave the village when they turned 15 and other beautiful women…''

Shinobu's eyes widened, ''why…?''

''Because he's so damn freakin' horny all the time that he's making them sex slaves for his men after their victory of Wars!!!'' cried Sarah. ''Our mothers… they were taken away… even my sister…,'' cried Su.

''Luckily… my father lived near the mountains… so we moved in.'' As we told him the story… he agreed to teach us martial arts for 3 years… the training was hard and damn difficult.'' I thought we both die from suffocation…'' said Sarah loving the memory. ''Than… my father entered us into the East Assassins… because it was found out that he use to be the previous General.''

Shinobu seemed amazed yet disappointed… she knew how the two felt. To be lonely. To be scared. To be abandon. Shinobu held the two while they cried silently. How they all hated the memory of being lost. ''I know how it feels…'' whispered Shinobu. ''I really do…''

''You want to live because of that silly promise?'' asked Kitsune seriously.

''Yes… and I really didn't hear your conversation… no really!'' exclaimed Keitaro.

''… well you were 13 feet away from us…,'' sighed Kitsune.

Keitaro nodded, ''yeah… so was that an imposter or something?''

''That's for me to know and you to never find out!'' cried Kitsune sternly.

''sorry!'' shrieked Keitaro. Kitsune sighed, and examined him very closely. ''… you look like a wandering traveler… there's a lot of crimes here… what I don't understand is why don't have a weapon if your going to rescue someone?''

Keitaro shrugged, ''well… I don't want to kill… no really… I had seen a lot of blood shed.''

Kitsune laughed loudly and patted Keitaro's shoulder, ''hey, you know what kid?'' You're alright!'' She came closer to Keitaro's face, ''tell me… do you know how to fight with swords?''

Keitaro nodded, ''yeah… but I don't want to kill anyone… just you know… make them paralyzed.''

Kitsune gestured him to wait while she searched quickly for a weapon. Loud bangs raddled on the ground while more continued to fall when she searched more deeply in her home. ''Ahh!'' she cried. ''Here is the perfect weapon!''

Keitaro stared in awe while Kitsune smiled at his reaction. ''see here?'' This is a Kodachi… a sword with both great offense and defense! It's really fast for a short sword, so I'll give you two… it's also perfect for combo martial arts and since its so defensive… you won't have to kill anyone… more like a kick in a jaw that will paralyze anyone!''

''Wow!'' cried Keitaro. ''Your giving me this oh thank you-''

''Hold on,'' butted Kitsune, ''who says I'm giving you this for free, huh?'' I'm a blacksmith… one of the best and that's a pretty expensive item you have there!''

Keitaro's jaw dropped, ''an archer and a blacksmith… what are you?''

''Just call me the sly fox that I'm usually am,'' winked Kitsune. ''Now… that will be 4,000 yen, pal!'' (4,000 yen is about $40.00 in American money… I'm not sure the money paid in the Feudal Era)

''$4,000 yen?!'' I don't have that type of money woman!''

''Well,'' she pouted, ''give me that back than or your head is mine!''

''Wait!'' What do you want in return instead of money?'' I need this to save my friend!''

There was a light pause from Kitsune, until her famous creepy star eyes came bobbing out of her. ''Well… if you let me travel with you for a while, than I'll forget about the charge and taking your head!''

''But—But… you agreed in not taking my head!''

''Hey… sometimes life is so unfair… ne?'' Now let's go!'' Kitsune hurriedly packed her things while Keitaro gathered his horse and the other that belonged to Kitsune's. ''Great… I have to take care of another girl now except this one is less innocent,'' thought Keitaro groaning deep inside.

''When I get this cutie's valuables and information than I can run away with his riches! I know he's loaded!'' thought Kitsune evilly. She did need money and she planned on spending it around Kyoto… this place is too crappy for her style. ''Okay honey… let's save Shinobi!''

''It's Shinobu,'' Keitaro muttered.

''Do you want me to take your stupid head?'' growled Kitsune suddenly grabbing her bow and arrows.

''No ma'am!'' yelped Keitaro. ''Let's go… were near the bamboo forest!''

Keitaro rode his horse as fast as he could while Kitsune easily catched up. His brown hair was neatly tied rapidly flowing in the wind… he looked so attractive. (And glasses weren't invented yet for all you slow-minded people!) Kitsune blushed from his appearance, ''was he acting cowardly?'' She stared down to his two Kodachis wrapped around his waist. ''I better not mess with him until later on…,'' she thought again. While Keitaro ran deeper in the bamboo forest he heard a girl crying. ''Shinobu!'' he yelled. He stopped… no… it wasn't Shinobu crying…it was two other girls.

Keitaro jumped off his horse while he charged after Shinobu… but Sarah pulled a thin wire and sharp bamboos blasted under the earths soil. Keitaro almost fell in until Kitsune grabbed his Gi and pulled him away from the trap. ''You idiot!'' She blasted towards his ear. ''Sorry…,'' he muttered. His eyes were set on the other two girls.

''Keitaro Urashima, as we east assassins, come for your head, we have captured your little girl!'' shouted Sarah while wiping away her tears. Sarah's knife was placed near Shinobu's throat, ''surrender and let us kill you or the girl dies!''

Keitaro only stood silent with his eyes serious with both concern and doubt. ''I'm sorry… but I cannot let you kill me nor her…'' he gave a weak smile, ''please… let her go and I'll fight you to the death as you say…''

''how am I suppose to know that your going to use tricks against me?'' snarled Sarah.

''you're the assassin experts, you should know wither I use tricks or not…'' replied Keitaro calmly.

''Bastard… I plan to kill all you Government Lap dogs!!!'' I rather side with the Shemnrai Ryu instead of you disgusting fools!'' growled Sarah.

''Sarah…,'' whispered Su and Shinobu.

''I didn't want to do this,'' growled Keitaro. His arms slowly moved under his Gi… he should not waste his Kodachi on such a worthless opponent. As Shinobu saw this she knew what her Sempai was about to do, ''Urashima- Sempai don't!'' Even if Sarah didn't get stab, the poison in the dagger would kill her instantly. She knew he had a very good aim.

Shinobu's cry was too late, the dagger was thrown swiftly and too quick for the human eye to see… although Sarah's instinct took place and she dodged the dagger; it only cut the side of her face. ''Ow… that hurt you bastard!'' complained Sarah. Keitaro only smirked while he counted the seconds it will take for Sarah to…

Sarah collapsed on the ground while Shinobu and Su shake her to wake up. ''Urashima… how could you kill a child… she wasn't going to kill me…''

''She isn't dead,'' replied Kitsune coldly. She turned to Keitaro which signaled him to explain. ''That dagger I used against her… it's filled with some sleeping powder… she'll only be asleep for an hour or so.'' He turned, ''come on Shinobu we have to get back to the Hinata.''

''Urashima- Sempai… what about the others?'' groaned Shinobu innocently.

''Their assassins... I'm sure they can take care of themselves.''

''Your wrong…,'' said Su whom finally spoke. ''We can barely find food and shelter… our only purpose here is to destroy any Government soldiers here.'' Keitaro cocked an eyebrow, ''and you think I'm one of the Government' soldiers?'' Su nodded, ''the way you threw that dagger…''

''Now hold on!'' cried Keitaro. ''I use to work for the Government years ago but I quit!'' I'm just a wandering guy with no purpose whatsoever.'' He lied.

Su examined him just as Kitsune had just done, ''yeah… you seem to be an ex-government worker… I understand… were sorry for causing you trouble.''

Keitaro sighed but wavered his hand, ''come on Shinobu…'' Shinobu didn't follow, ''If they're not going than so am I!''

Keitaro smiled, ''FINE!'' We'll let them tag along… for now.'' Su and Shinobu cheered while Sarah was still knocked out.

So… they all traveled back to the Hinata. Kitsune encouraged him to find a job but he said he has enough money to live. The Government was secretly sending someone to give him the money but tonight. Hours later, when everyone drifted off into a deep sleep, Keitaro sneaked out using his ninjuitsu skills in order to avoid any suspicions.

As he walked around the forest he sensed someone. He turned at the shadow and smiled. ''Hey there Narusagawa!'' A punch came through his face while he still laughed at the memory of her doing so. ''Idiot… do you want us to be heard?'' snarled Naru. He shook his head, ''of course not… it's just been a while since we seen each other,'' he smiled sheepishly, ''and I missed ya.'' Naru blushed furiously, ''baka…'' Keitaro leaned closer, ''well its true… I really do miss you.'' A second punch aimed at him but this time he caught it with a light grip. ''Naru… won't you help me find the Shemnrai Ryu…?''

She glared at him, ''why?'' It will only cause more suspicion!''

He leaned closer to her ear, ''so beautiful… yet so untouchable…''

She blushed, ''Keitaro…'' He grabbed her hands lightly, ''Narusagawa… I want you to stay by my side… I cannot do this mission alone… please.'' Naru looked away with a light blush, ''baka…''

Keitaro leaned it with a smirk, ''but I'm your baka…''

Naru blushed even harder, ''… fine!'' But this is strictly for the Government!''

Keitaro laughed, ''thank you Narusagawa… you won't regret it!'' Keitaro and Naru both worked for the Government for 3 years. Naru was more experienced with her missions and never lets her emotions get in the way but when Keitaro came in her life that made everything changed. Keitaro knew he had feelings for her but he pushed it aside. There was no way in telling her how he felt but when he is sure of how he really feels… than when the time comes that will be the day when he whispers those three words.

Next Morning….

When the golden light finally touched the earth the colors of blue pink and white blended in the atmosphere while chilling winds stood still in order to taste the early morning. Keitaro sat on the hills near his hut and looked carefully at his Kodachis. With this weapon he wouldn't kill anyone… but if he had to than that would mean… the guilt of death will haunt him once more.

As the group awoke a few hours ago, he explained that Naru Narusagawa is a former friend of his that wants to come along the adventure. As his lie was being told, it all started when he awoke at midnight and couldn't sleep. He took a stroll in the woods and heard a scream… Naru had a difficult time fighting off the wolves that crept closer to her, so Keitaro took action and saved Naru. Surprisingly, his lie worked like a charm and a smirk appeared on Naru while she heard of this. She wore a yellow armor tied with a pink belt which led to her red pants. Her hair was long and brown with two strange antennas above her head.

''I was about to kill those damn wolves but Mr. Showoff here just did it for me,'' chuckled Naru.

Keitaro finally stopped the flashback when he heard something fall. As he turned, he saw a woman laying in the dirt with her horse running off. Time stopped… it was her. Not the imposter. No… not the fake Motoko. It was the real one. Keitaro rushed to the scene when he saw her bleeding, ''damn!'' he cursed. ''hey… are you okay?''

A groan came from Motoko while her straw hat was still on. ''I guess that's a no…,'' his voice trailed off when he saw a cut deeply slashed on her shoulder. Keitaro picked up the tall woman which was surprisingly light and rushed to get aid. ''Your going to be alright… Motoko-chan…,'' he whispered, ''I promise you…''

Awww… isn't that cute? Keitaro falls in love with her in first sight… just like he did with Naru-chan! Well… tell me what do you want me to do in the next chapter folks! Ja Ne!
