The Animator
I don't own any characters from Love Hina.
Chapter 2: Trapped
"Let me get this straight" Yumi said, amazed "This world we're in right now is the world of that manga 'Love Hina'?"
"The anime too" I reminded him.
"Right" He sighed, frustrated with my lack of concern "And that thing, what did you call it? The Animator?"
"Yup" I replied
"Anyway, that thing is broken and now we can't get back to the real world?"
"Reality is perceptual" I said "It's all about how you look at it"
"All I see is that we're stuck in an animated world and we can't get back!" He shouted at me "We need to fix that thing!"
Writer's Note: I should probably explain what's happening right now. First off, you need to understand that there are parallel universes. Usually these worlds are kept separate, but every now and then, someone in our world catches information from one of the other worlds. This phenomenon has become known in our world as 'being struck by inspiration' and has happened many times. Almost every anime, manga, or game you've ever seen has been thought up this way (the Japanese are more effective at catching the info from other worlds for some reason). That being said, I will now explain the Animator. Basically The Animator catches this data, and locks onto its location. The Animator then saves that location onto separate servers, where the location can be accessed at any time. Then, using the code for that world, called the Paraverse Location Code (PLC), the Animator's Teleportation Engine Drive (TED) can tear open a path to the desired location. However, these portals are very unstable and require something to stabilize them before the Animator will open them. So, actual doorsare used to stabilize the portals. The basic problem here is that the TED that opens the world portals is broken, so they can't get back to the real world. There are other things the Animator does, but I'll get to those when they come. And now, back to the story.
"I know" I sighed "but it'll take me awhile. Why don't you go exploring around here until I'm done?"
"Fine" he said, and left. It wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized I had just made a big mistake.

"This is amazing" Yumi thought while walking down a hallway "This is the actual Hinata House. Home to all those girls…" He continued to walk, and was soon approaching the famous hot spring baths. "I think I'll relax awhile until Koji fixes that contraption of his"
He slipped in and sighed "Now I could live like this" he thought, smiling. Then, he heard voices approaching the baths. Girl's voices.
"Ugh, If he does that one more time, I really will kill him" one said.
"Is that… Naru?" Yumi thought, and then looked around for a place to hide.
"Why do you put up with him Naru?" a second voice asked "I would have killed him long ago"
Yumi gulped "I know that's Motoko" he thought
"It's not like you haven't tried" Naru replied Yumi wrapped a towel around his waist and dived behind a rock just as the girls came in. They had towels wrapped around them, and Motoko had her sword with her. "True…" Motoko said "But…" she looked around suddenly, her hand on her sword, ready to strike "There's someone here"
"You're just paranoid Motoko" Naru said, getting into the springs.
"No I'm not!" Motoko said looking right at Yumi's hiding place "I heard something over here"
Yumi looked down at his foot, and saw a snapped twig underneath it. He cursed under his breath as Motoko swung her blade, shouting "Bolder Cutting Blade!"
The bolder shattered and the girls stared at Yumi. Yumi stared back.
"Never seen you before" Naru said, sinking deeper into the water "But we don't take kindly to perverts here"
"So true Naru" Motoko said, setting up for another blow "So true"

As a sneak preview, Yumi and Koji will be visiting the worlds of: InuYasha, .hack, Kingdom Hearts, and C.O.P.E. (Creations Of People Everywhere) in addition to Love Hina and the Real World. Sadly, this is where the quickly released chapters end. Chapter 3 is giving me trouble. By the way, Animator is an acronym. It stands for 'Artificial Navigator Into Many Alternate Terms Of Reality'.
