Despite the chapters, it's sorta like a one-shot. This delves into the possibility of what if Motoko really followed through on her honor system?

A loud shout of 'pervert' could be heard from the distance and a loud crash resounded throughout the complex. Far from the chaos Motoko Aoyoma glanced over at where the sound had came from. Eyes widening she scolded herself for even caring at what was going on. Incidents such as this were commonplace enough where it shouldn't warrant her attention at all, she told herself. Standing tall and ever graceful she stood poised to attack. Her targets were simple, mere leaves that fell from the trees. However, the incessant yelping of one Keitaro Urashima, resident landlord of Hinata-sou, was disturbing her concentration to the point of no return.

Chanting a mantra to herself, she reminded herself that the landlord and resident evil pervert Urashima deserved what he got.

Slash!

With one elegant stroke a wave of ki energy was unleashed from her sword. It wasn't at maximum power but it was able to kick up most of the leaves that were all around her. Her katana was lowered near her feet, and as the leaves reached their peak, she unleashed her attack. A flurry of movements decimated the small army of plant life. With a sigh, she withdrew her sword from the heat of battle (or practice in this case) and sheathed her sword.

That was only a parlor trick and she knew it. It would impress most, but not her and those of the Shinmei-Ryu school. Because of her lack of concentration she had been reduced to the basic foundations of her craft. For her to practice fully while her mind was so clouded was a hazard to her and everything around her.

And I wonder who is to blame…

Things around Hinata-sou were hectic as always and the return of Mutsumi Otohime had only added fuel to that raging inferno which can be described as a 'relationship' between Urashima and Naru. Reappearing after several months she had decided to move right across the Hinata-sou The world was not blind to their antics and this sudden 'love triangle' is making life very complicated…

For starters, no longer can she hope to have a few hours of complete silence for meditation or for recreational purposes. She would be lucky if she could even sit on the couch for a moment before someone would either pounce on her, land on her, ask for her help, or get peeped on by Urashima. Things like this have become more frequent with each passing day.

Then there were the others...

In retrospect, maybe it was the season of presents and Yuletide cheer, but everyone seemed to be acting strangely for one reason or another. Naru seemed more possessive and angry towards that weakling… Mutsumi-san, for better or worse, seems to be getting into the spirit of healthy competition with Naru. Shinobu was more or less the same; however instead of just blushing, she had seen the young girl become braver in her advances towards Urashima. Even Kitsune seemed to have plans for him, no matter how devious and naughty it may be. Su was possibly the only one not affected at all.

Su and I are the only ones that see through his façade. Motoko amended quickly. Whatever the reason, this can't go on. My training schedule is becoming too far and in between for my liking.

Suddenly another shout of indignation was heard, which could only have come from Naru, and then she could hear Naru shout out her famous attack, the Naru Iron Punch. The unlucky Ronin flew from Hinata-sou and flew into the air without the help of an airplane or any other device.

Motoko watched him disappear off into the sunset and wondered briefly about her airborne landlord and his ill-fated life. Perhaps not everything was his fault she thought to herself. But she was convinced it was him that threw her concentration off somehow.

A/N: What do you think? Just a prologue for now, if I get good enough reviews I'll post up some more. Right now, I can't do KOF right now. I just can't seem to get the right inspiration. Yeah, so much for me staying on the right path… Anyways, this is just something for me to do in the meantime.
