Chapter 2 - Letting it All Out
Keitaro P.O.V
Suddenly everything was red. I couldn't hear anything, could feel a anything, except anguish. Oh the pain, the bitterness, the anguish, all of them fueling my anger. I had never felt anything like it, so utterly powerful. I could see myelf getting closer to Naru. My thoughts went to the day I came here. It had been the worst day of my life, only I didn't know it, because it was the day I became manager and heir to the Hinata Inn, turned girls dorm. I had always known her in High school, even though I was a junior when she was a freshman. She was popular for a freshman, all the guys were going after her, she had all the best grades and everything anyone could ask for. I admit, I liked her from the beginning. She always had that cue smile and cheery personality. At least I thought she did, but since I moved in I knew she wasn't at all that great. One thing was the way she would always but down Kitsune just because of her drinking. I never liked the way she bilked money out of me, but she was still a person. A complex on if you think about it. But Naru treated her like her goffer. I could go on and on about Naru. But the most important thing I've learned about her, is that I never really liked her to begin with. She was always so bossy and had a superiority complex, even though both of us failed the entrance exam. I don't know what I saw in her, but I don't't see it anymore.
Normal P.O.V
"You have no right to judge me! After all I've done for you and everyone else, the least I deserve is some kind of respect. There's no reason for calling me a ronin considering you spent fives times as much time studying than I have and yet, somehow, you fail as well. Do you honestly think it's right to call me a ronin?" "Wha." "No don't interrupt me Naru. I honestly don't know what I saw in you in the first place. You always had this superiority complex like you were better than everyone else. Even though you're younger than me, you still think you're more mature and adult. Even though I bleed for you, it's still not enough for you to consider me human. What do you want from me? Even more blood? Everyday, I get punched, kicked, and abused in all areas, from verbal to physical, and everyday, I have to swallow my pride and anger and bitterness and submit. But no more. I still had to do the chores, even though you all split it up before I came here. Oh yes, I knew, but I let it slide because I was the only male in an all girls dom. But no more." By this point Naru is furious, for all the wrong reasons, while, at her door, everyone else has gathered. They all watch in amazement as Keitaro continues his tirade, anger radiating from his body. Eventually the all wind up surrounding him in a circle, even though, none of them are sure how.
When Keitaro pauses, Motoko snaps, "What dishonorable deed have you done now Urashima?" She asked aggrievedly, taking out her sword and aim it at Keitaro, who turns to her with demonic eyes. "I swear to god, if you ever point that thing at me one more time, I snatch it and break it in half." "Be gone Urash." "Cut the crap. You're one to talk, Motoko. Who helped you get the courage to stand up against your sister? Me. Who is the reason that your skill has improved so much? Me. God Motoko, talk about dishonorable. I've done so much for you and everyone lese, that the least you can do is give me some respect. I'm six years older than you, and I'm your landlord. That should be enough. It's not my fault that me grandma chose a male to manage Hinata Sou, so get over it." He suddenly turned to everyone else. His gaze fell upon Sara "And you Sara. I have nothing to do with the fact that Seta left you in my care and supervision. I could care less what happened to you right now. But I figured, you're just a young girl, I might as well take you in. But no, I'm the bad guy because.? Well, tell me why I'm the bad guy in that picture." Only silence. "Is that it? Nothing at all, you just projected your frustration onto me, is that it? That's it huh? Well you know what, if I hadn't promised Seta I'd look after you, I might have kicked you out already. But no." Now it was Shinobu's turn, "And you Shinobu, you hurt me the most. I thought that off all people, you would understand and that I could come to think of you as a younger sister. You were fine until you started to act like Naru, only without the violence.
You blamed me for little thing I had no control over. You called me a pathetic ronin. You." "ENOUGH URASHIMA. If you are really a man then fight. If you lose, you must leave Hinata Sou." "And if I win?" "Hah! Like you will win. Let us spar." Keitaro left via the hole in between his and Naru's room, leaving everyone in stunned silence and Motoko in vicious anticipation.
