Hello again! Welcome to yet another installment of this sad excuse for a fanfic. I'm kind of liking the pacing this time around. At this point in my first LHN fan fiction project, most of the girls had already fallen for Yamato and the climax was already being set up. Right now, Ami still just sees Shinichi as a good friend, Naoko simply has a crush, Junko respects him, Kairi also sees him as a good friend, Megumi doesn't make her true feelings clear, and Sakura is in love… with her cousin. Mwahahaha, I'm so screwed up. Anyway, it looks like this series is going to be much longer if I don't want the relationships to be rushed. And it's not as obvious this time around about who's going to get together, now is it? Almost everyone is the perfect candidate! Ami was the first of the girls to move in, Junko doesn't really get along very well with him, Megumi was his childhood friend, etc.
Anyway, with the previous arc now over, we go back to the usual craziness. And a character that I almost forgot makes an appearance…

Love Hina Next: Second Phase
Chapter 27: The Friendly Assassin!
From outside of Suichi Mansion, you could hear the scream of a young man. That man was Shinichi Suichi, son of the owner of this mansion. Due to fate, this lucky young man is currently housing 6 beautiful woman. The only problem is… One is a psychic, one is a bit strange, one is a violent tomboy, one is a 12 year old girl, one is his cousin, and one of them is even a ghost. Also, they are currently standing in his living room in nothing but towels, underwear, or an oversized shirt.
Shinichi crawled away, Megumi holding his shirt and Junko holding his pants. He stopped and started backing away, wearing nothing but plaid boxers. "W-w-why is everyone half naked?! And why are you all trying to take my clothes off?!"
Ami smiled, wearing nothing but an oversized male dress shirt. "Because it's laundry day, silly!"
Kairi, once again in living form and wearing nothing but the blue bra and panties that Shinichi bought her, giggled. "Yeah, so strip!"
Junko nodded. "But do it when I'm not looking…"
Shinichi sighed. "Do I really have to?" He smacked his head, muttering to himself. "It's a good thing that Naoko isn't here… Thank school…"
Sakura, who was wearing a towel, grinned. "Yes, you do…" She rubbed her hands together. "Because If you don't, I will…" She blushed, putting her hands to her cheeks and looking away. "And if I have to take your boxers off, I don't know what I'll do once their gone and all that is visible is your glorious--"
Junko, also wearing a towel, quickly ran over and pounded Sakura in the head. "That's enough out of you, you incestuous little--"
Sakura glared at Junko, rubbing the top of her head. "Hey, love is love…" She chuckled and crawled over to Shinichi. "It shouldn't matter if we're related…" she began, twirling a finger on his chest. "Right, cousin?…"
Shinichi sweat dropped. "Please don't ask me to answer that…"
Suddenly, the door was kicked down. Standing in the doorway was a man wearing a long black trench coat, the bottom tattered a bit, and baggy black pants. Hidden on him were two tanto, and at his side, a pair of katana. He was also wearing a baggy pair of black pants and t-shirt. His hair was a spiky ponytail with spiky bangs in front. He smirked, pulling out a katana and pointing it at Shinichi. "Suichi! I've been paid quite a lot to annihilate you! Prepare to be exterminated!!"
Shinichi's eyes widened. "Why me?! What'd I do?"
The man shrugged. "I don't know… Maybe it's because you are so wealthy… But sorry, a job's a job!" He growled and leapt at Shinichi, ready to slice him in half. His sword was suddenly stopped by Junko, who grabbed the sword between her hands. His eyes widened, his expression quickly turning into an amused grin. "Impressive…"
As Shinichi crawled away, Junko let go while jumping back. She looked to her cut hands and glared up at the assassin. "Leave him alone…"
Sakura nodded and protectively hugged her cousin/love interest. "Yeah, leave! Go away! Shoo!"
The assassin sighed. "Look, I really hate to hit women, but…" He looked around the room at all of the half naked women and suppressed a grin. 'Man, I heard this guy used to be a play boy, but damn…'
Shinichi stood up and shook his head. "No girls, stop it… He came for me, so this is my problem…" He reached up at a wall and grabbed a katana that was on display. "Forgive me, great grandfather…" He pulled the sword from it's sheath and stared at the man. "Well, I'm ready…" He tossed the sheath behind himself and held the katana in front of him. "I will fight for my life… It will be my last brave act…"
Ami blushed, her heart beating quickly. "Oh, Shinichi…" 'He's being so… Brave… Right now he reminds me a bit of Yamato-sama…'
Whether Junko liked it or not, she had a light pink flush on her face, too. 'The wimp is actually doing something manly for once… Watch him screw it up, though…'
The assassin grinned, then chuckled. "Hmm, that's honorable… I like that… A lesser man would have taken advantage of protection… For that I will give you a quick death with as little pain as possible!" He dashed toward Shinichi, stabbing at him. Shinichi dodged and swung towards the assassin, who blocked and swiped a few times at the younger man. Shinichi awkwardly blocked them all and backed up. The man grinned. "Not bad… Your technique is very sloppy, but you're not dead yet, right? Shinji Suichi was quite a man…"
Shinichi sweat dropped. "Wait, you're after my father?"
The man tilted his head in confusion. "You mean, you're not Shinji Suichi?"
Shinichi shook his head. "No, I'm his son! Shinichi!"
The assassin rubbed his chin. "So, you're not Shinji Suchi, but Shinichi Suchi?"
Shinichi nodded. "Yeah, confusing, isn't it?" He crossed his arms. "If you're looking for my father, then you're looking in the wrong place… He's rarely ever home, always at work or on a trip…"
The man raises an eyebrow. "That reminds me of someone I knew…" He muttered, putting his katana away.
"Mr. Alucard?! Is that you?!" Ami asked, squealing. "You look a little older, but I know that it's you!"
Jin froze up, looking to the person that called his name. His eyes widened slightly as he saw that it was Ami. He began to slowly shuffle away. "No no, you must have me mistaken for someone else…"
Ami glared, stamping her foot. "Don't you lie to me, Jin Alucard! I know that it's you! Why are you an assassin, huh?! And why did you disappear on us like that for all these years without telling anyone?!"
Jin sighed. "Ami, you s--" His jaw almost dropped as he got a good look at how much Ami had 'developed' in the last 5 years. "I…" His attention turned to her smooth long legs and the fact that she was naked under that shirt. "I…" He looked up and took in her nicely shaped hips. "I…" He got an eyeful of her now full breasts, squishing together as she crossed her arms. "I…!" He stared at her face, blushing. "Well, um…"
Ami smiled. "Aww, I can't stay mad at you!" She pouted. "But why did you leave us?"
Jin sighed. "Ami, I went into the mountains to train… The reason I became an assassin… well, because I needed the money, and there is a sudden rush that I get while on a job…"
Ami frowned. "I see…" She looked away. "So you kill people for money…"
Jin clenched his fist. "Look… I'm sorry about the misunderstanding… I'll just leave, okay?" He turned around and began to walk out the door.
"Noo!!" Ami screamed, glomping Jin from behind. "You can't leave now! You just got here, there's so much to catch up on!!"
Jin sweat dropped, Ami's breasts pressing against his back. "Ack!" He quickly slipped out of Ami's grasp. He sighed. 'Look at me, I'm turning into my old self… Falling for women… I've got to get a hold of myself…' He turned around to face her. "Um, maybe later… I see that you are all kind of…" He looks around at their state of dress and blushes. "Busy…"
Suddenly, Naoko walked in, dressed in the school uniform of sailor fuku. "Hello, everyone! I'm home from school and--" She looked around and screamed, covering her eyes. "Ack! I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone!"
Ami blushed. "Oh, no! Um, it was just laundry day so we all took our clothes and put them in the wash!"
Junko panicked, grabbing Junko and pushing Jin out of the building with a single push. "That's right, you've got to leave, bye!!"
Ami frowned. "Junko! That was so rude!"
Junko huffed. "Shinichi seeing me like this is one thing, but a total stranger?! No way! Sorry Ami, you'll have to meet him again some other day or something…"
Ami sighed, looking out the doorway and seeing that Jin has already left. "All right, fine…" Suddenly, there was a beeping noise. "Oh, the clothes are done cleaning! Time to dry! Naoko, you'll have to stay in that uniform a little while longer, is that okay?"
Naoko nodded. "That's okay! I'm going up to my room!" She happily skipped upstairs, while the others look around awkwardly.
Suddenly, several schoolboys popped their heads in through the doorway. "Hey, is Naoko-chan home?" They asked. Their eyes widened as they saw the girls. "Wow, this is even better!"
"Stay away from my sisters, creeps!!" Junko screamed, watching in satisfaction as the boys went flying off. She glared at the broken down door. "Damn it, now we have to get that fixed…"
"What's the problem?" Shinichi asked. "My family has enough money to buy everyone in Japan a solid gold toilet! Although I don't know who would actually want to use a solid gold toilet…"
Everyone sweat dropped. Kairi walked out of the room and came back a moment later with a curtain. She hung it over the doorway and smiled. "There! That should do until we can get the door fixed!"
Ami frowned. "Poor Jin… I wonder what he's doing right now?…"

Walking up to the steps of Hinata House, he smiles a bit. "How I missed this place… I wonder why Ami moved out, though?" He had a sudden flash to what Ami looked like when he first met her, then to what she looked like today. He smirked in a perverted manner. "Heh… She sure has 'grown'… And in more ways than one…" He smacked himself. "That will be enough of that…" He slowly began to walk up the steps…

A few hours later…
Shinichi sighed as he finished putting his shirt on before sitting at the table for dinner. Everyone was back into their usual outfits including Kairi, who was wearing her new clothes. He smiled as he looked to the food. "Wow, this really looks good, Naoko!"
Naoko smiled, blushing. "Thank you!"
Junko grinned, looking to Shinichi. "You know, you were really brave for once today… I like that."
Shinichi bit his lip. "You really mean that?"
Junko pounded her fist on the table angrily. "Of course I do! What do you take me for?!" She blushed as she realized that she had another outburst.
Sakura took a bite of her food. "Temper temper, Junko… You're never gonna get any guys with an attitude like that…"
Junko growled. "Who the hell said that I was trying to get a guy?!"
Megumi giggled. "Oh, so you're trying to get a girl? My, I didn't know you were like that!"
"Don't screw with me, half-breed!!" Junko screamed, standing up.
"But I thought that was what you wanted her to do?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, that tears it!" Junko yelled. "You wanna take this outside?"
Megumi laughed. "Oh, but in public like that? Naughty girl…"
"That's enough…" Ami said simply, glowing. Everyone calmed down and sat back down, not wanting to incur the wrath of an angry Ami. She smiled as the glow went away. "That's much better!"
Shinichi stared into his rice bowl. "What I wonder, though…" He began.
Ami looked to Shinichi with a concerned look on her face, as did the other girls. "Huh?" She began. "Shinichi-kun?…"
He looked up to the girls and finished his statement. "Is who was it that hired Jin in the first place?"
The rest of that dinner was in silence.
