By: ~uNn@mEd~
This is taking longer than expected… exam week has ended but I'm kind of getting a little preoccupied at this time… and will update a little slower than usual but hang in there I'll finish this for those people who continue to support this fic!!!
I'm already thought of a way to make part 2 of this fanfic where Motoko's a ronin (someone who failed their college exams further reference Love Hina vol. 12) and I'm going to put the Motoko with short hair in it!!! further reference Love Hina vol. 13
(Looks around and sees he's the only one carrying a Soujiro and Motoko flag.) God this is lonely… can you guys give me lot of support I'm gonna need it…
**********
As the sun rises from the from the lush forest trees, to the clear blues sky. Ready to give its life giving rays to the world. Part of those rays shines down to a young warriors face.
Soujiro, feeling the warmth of the sun forces his eyes to open…
"Baka alarm… not waking me up… I'm gonna be late for…?"
As his mind starts to process his surroundings he notices he wasn't in his bed, he wasn't even in his own room.
'What am I doing here?'
Yesterday's events come rushing to him, he also remembers looking really closely at the female companion with as he drifted off to sleep. He felt his cheeks begin to heat up at the memory. (Hehehe… just imagine that!?!?)
He then starts to feel a figure beside him. It was soft and warm at the same time and it was starting to move as if it were waking up. He then stares at the direction of figure meeting with Motoko's half-awake eyes.
They just stared at each other as if it were all a dream… both trying to search the hidden truth beneath each other's eyes. It was just a simple eye contact yet they find it enjoyable. Just getting lost staring…
But all good things don't last. As sudden realization hits them both, their bodies then jump into hyper mode. They turned their backs to each other. Both of them feeling embarrassed being caught staring at each other.
Silence transcended them neither one knew what to say. Both of them still not having their thoughts on straight.
"…ummm… I'm sorry…"
Soujiro was intrigued why was she apologizing? He then begins to turn around. "What for?"
"It was my fault that you got hurt… even though it was just practice I let my temper get the best of me… so… I'm sorry." She apologized, gesturing a bow.
"No problem, it gets to the best of us don't worry. Hahaha…"
As she raises her head, for a moment their eyes locked on together, same as before. It took them a split second to realize it. And they again try to get away from each others stares, knowing that the heat from their cheeks was becoming more eminent.
Motoko's P.O.V.:
Why am I acting this way? Is it because I…
NOOOOO!!!! I 'm most certainly am not!!! Have that kind of feelings for him!!!!
Stage 1: Denial…
WHAT STAGE 1: DENIAL!?!? I'M NOT DENYING ANYTHING!!!!
They all say that…
AARRGGG…
Soujiro's P.O.V.:
Why am I feeling this way?
I can't stop thinking about her… her night black hair… her pearl white skin… her deep black eyes… her lips… I can just…
Aaarrgggghhh what is this I'm thinking?
Normal P.O.V.:
As silence transcended upon them both are still staring at the ground, too embarrassed to say anything, with their heads deep down in thought.
Slowly, they both raised their heads to look at each other. With their eyes again transfixed on each other, but unlike last time they stayed focus on each other for a brief moment. They just stayed at each other, savoring each moment. After of what seemed like eternity they stared back down reddening even further.
Motoko starts, with her head still bowed down. "I would like to apologize for what I did back there… I could've got you killed if I didn't let my temper get the best of me… I would understand if you don't for give me bu-"
"Don't worry about it…"
She lifts her head up to stare at him with tears in her eye.
"It happens to the best of us… so don't cry now, you look best when you smile, right?"
"Yes, you're right…" She answered, brushing off her tears. Smiling a bit, glad that she was forgiven (She wouldn't do this to Keitaro!!!! Laughs). She then tries to stand up, but accidentally falls. Luckily Soujiro was able to catch her before she completely fell.
"Careful."
"Ummm… thank you." She answered with a tinge of red in her cheeks.
"No problem…" He answered smiling a bit opening his eyes accidentally caught her staring at him. Before he knew it he found himself staring at her too.
It took her a moment to realize the position they were in. She was literally on top of him. Her legs were just between his left leg, and that their faces were inches apart. Realizing this, she tries to again stand up. But in between it all she suddenly stops. They just couldn't help but stare at each other. Asking a million questions at once, just by looking at each others eyes.
"Soujiro…"
"Motoko…"
Both were caught in a trance, their faces inching closer together. Their lips only mere centimeters closer, showing no signs of stopping, they would move closer and closer until…
"Hey Motoko- Chan!!! Are you in here!?!? (Couldn't resist… Sorry --_--)" a male voice called out from the cave entrance.
Hearing the voice they instantly moved away from their position.
"Motoko!? Ohhh… there you are he guys she's in here!"
As the gang arrives they were a crimson faced Motoko suspiciously staring at the wall and a flustered faced Soujiro awkwardly inspecting his sword.
"Motoko-chan where have you been? I missed you…" Su whined on the verge of tears instantly hugging Motoko.
"Since you didn't came back for dinner we were so worried!" Shinobu added.
"Yeah! Were have you been dork? It's not like you to go off and get lost not like this loser!" Sarah complained.
"Hey!!!"
"It's… ahhh… just that we were practicing and… uhhh… got caught in the rain and… ahhh… and decided to take shelter… yeah… that's right." Motoko stuttered.
"So what you are saying is that both of you all alone in this cave all night?"
"Uhhh… yeah…" She answered reluctantly, knowing where it was all going.
"So… did you two did the 'you-know-what' then did you?" Kitsune sneered.
"No!!! I absolutely did not!!!" Motoko dejected with redness in both her cheeks and Soujiro's.
"Come on you can be honest with me… So was he any good?" Kitsune added.
"Grrrr… YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!"
She then pulls out her sword and slashes at Kitsune's direction.
