"Insanity of the Vespa Woman"

By: Ggultra2764

Keitaro gets ran down by a woman on a Vespa. However, she isn't a woman from this world. Who is this mysterious Vespa-riding woman?

Chapter 2: The Meeting

Later at night, a car arrives to the stairway to Hinata Inn. The passenger door to the car opens up as Keitaro steps out of the car. His head is bandaged up after being kicked by Naru earlier.

"Thanks for the ride," Keitaro says to the driver.

"No problem. It's not very often I get a visitor who is sent flying into my house," the driver annoyingly says in the darkness of the car.

"Sorry, but a particular resident here has some violent tendencies towards me."

"Someone here is threatening you?" The driver has a more serious tone.

"Yeah!"

"If that's the case, then stand up to him. You can't let a guy push you around if you're the manager of this inn."

"Actually, the resident who kicked me was a she."

"What? You got beat up by a woman? Oh, that's rich. The guys at work are gonna have a day with this when I tell them about it tomorrow. You have some serious issues, my friend."

Keitaro is embarrassed as the car drives off from the inn as Keitaro can hear the driver laughing in the distance after telling him of being pummeled by Naru earlier in the day. He proceeds to walk towards the nearby Hinata Café being right near the inn. The café was owned by Keitaro's aunt, Haruka Urashima. He wanted to forget about the embarrassing day he had to endure and wanted to have a brief time alone away from the girls at the inn after being blackmailed into doing one of Kitsune's chores, being ran down by a woman on a moped, and getting kicked out of town by Naru.

"Haruka Oba-san, are you here. It's me Keitaro," he says as he enters the café. However, he gets a tray thrown into his face. "Owwww!"

"It's Haruka-san."

"Gomen, Haruka-san."

"Tough day?"

"Yeah!"

"Judging from the bandages on your head, that would be Naru's handiwork."

"Yes! She kicked me out of town again. I just got dropped off."

"You can discuss what led to your predicament a little later. Right now, there's someone here to meet you. A girl who wants to live at the inn, she looks like a foreigner like Su."

"A new resident?"

"Yes. I'll have you meet her now."

Keitaro is taken to a table to meet the resident by Haruka.

"Yo." Keitaro is surprised from behind by a strange-looking woman for him extending a hand in the air to greet him. The woman appearing before him has peachish-pink hair and yellow eyes as he looks up at the woman's face. He stands up from the table and notices how tall the woman is being shorter than her surprised at her stature.

"You're tall."

"One hundred eighty six centimeters. You wanna know my three sizes as well, observant one?"

"No. That's okay." Keitaro is a bit surprised at how casually she said the question.

"I'll leave you two alone to discuss residency for the inn," Haruka exclaims as she is about to leave for the café kitchen, "And Keitaro?"

"Yes, Haruka Oba-san." Keitaro is elbowed in the head for his comment by Haruka.

"It's Haruka-san. Don't do anything foolish that you'll later regret. You have enough issues with Naru and Motoko. You don't want another girl beating you down like those two are already." She then leaves for the kitchen.

"Another girl beating me down?"

Keitaro is confused by his aunt's comment. He then turns his attention back to the woman. He has a look at her clothing as the woman is wearing a red vest, yellow gloves, black joggers, and white boots.

"Somehow, she reminds me of someone I met before. But, I can't clearly identify who," he thinks to himself.

"Have a problem?" the woman asks. Her comment snaps Keitaro out of his zoned out look at her clothing.

"No, not at all."

"That's all you've got to say. Gee, it's no wonder you're the inn's punching bag, Kei-kun?"

"Kei-kun? Wait a minute. Why are you calling me that while we've just met?"

"We met earlier when I accidentally ran you down with my Vespa. But, I haven't properly introduced myself yet, have I?"

"Then, you're that crazy biker with the guitar."

Haruhara kicks Keitaro in the head for interrupting her. She looks a little annoyed, but not too angry.

"It's rude to interrupt someone trying to introduce their self, Kei-kun. My name is Haruko Haruhara."

Keitaro stands up after his kick from Haruko.

"You should be lucky I didn't hit you with my guitar or else you would have most likely opened up N.O."

"N.O?" Keitaro has a bewildered and confused look on his face.

"Ooops, I let out a little too much."

"Why is it that you want to stay at Hinata Inn exactly?"

"I came just to see you, Kei-kun."

Keitaro gets a flustered look on his face as a visible blush appears on his face.

"Wha, wha, what are you saying, Haruko-san?"

"I heard rumors of an inn manager being immortal and I wanted to see him for myself. And you, Kei-kun, are that particular manager seeing as you've been able to survive the pummeling of the inn's residents for the past year."

"It's normal habit for them to either pummel me or take advantage of me. Other than Shinobu-chan, everyone seems to think I'm a low-life, perverted ronin-manager."

"Ronin? Like Ronin Warriors?" Haruko quickly dresses up into a red armored-looking costume resembling what the team of warriors normally wore from the old 1989 anime. The costume change surprises Keitaro.

"No," he yells, "Ronin as in I haven't gotten into Tokyo University for two years."

"Ohhhhh, that kind of ronin. My mistake." Haruko rips off the Ronin Warriors costume like it's gift wrapping and she still has her original clothes on underneath.

"You are really not from around here are you, Haruko-san?"

"Well, I was a housemaid for a 12-year old kid a few months ago. But, otherwise, I'm not Japanese."

"I see."

"It's starting to get late. I don't want to be here all night. How about we get back to the inn so you can show me my room, Kei-kun?"

"Okay."

Both exit out of the café as Haruko walks to the side of the café and Keitaro glances at where she's going.

"What are you doing? Hinata Inn isn't too far from the café."

"Getting my Vespa."

Haruko drags out the same yellow Vespa she ran down Keitaro with from earlier.

"You had it there the entire time?"

"I didn't feel like walking."

"You mean you drove it here."

"Yeah, hop on."

"Huh."

"We can get up to the inn faster on this, Kei-kun."

Haruko takes Keitaro's hand and drags him onto the seat of the Vespa. She quickly puts on her helmet and scarf as she starts up the Vespa revving it up.

"We're gonna go up this hill." Haruko is pointing up the hill to the inn as she gets ready to drive up it.

"Are you crazy," Keitaro yells, "If you go up the hill at that kind of speed, you'll crash right into the inn."

"Relax, Kei-kun. I've got everything under control."

Haruko drives up the hill in a burst of speed as Keitaro can be heard yelling at Haruko's crazy tactic of getting to the inn from the distance as Haruka had watched the events happening from the café kitchen window.

"Hmmm. Keitaro's having a great time. Wonder how Naru and the other girls are gonna respond to Haruko?"

Chapter 2 Ended.

Next Chapter: Reactions

How will Naru and the other girls respond to Haruko's presence at the inn, especially with her close interactions with Keitaro?

Japanese Terms:

Oba-san- Aunt, a way of addressing someone who is middle-aged. Since Haruka is only 28, she takes offense to being called oba-san by Keitaro since she's still at young age for being an adult hence the reason she beats on Keitaro whenever he calls her oba-san.

Ronin- A term addressed towards Japanese university entrants who fail their admissions exams.

I'm still developing on the storyline as I go, so who knows where this Love Hina/ FLCL crossover fanfic will go. Anyway, please review my fanfic and I'll find some time to prepare for Chapter 3 of "Insanity of the Vespa Woman."
