Hello again. Sorry about not writing earlier this week. Had a weird error. I tried running maintenance wizard. Didn't work. I tried to scan for SpyWare. That didn't work. Then I scanned for viruses. Found one and got it, but that still didn't work. After several more different ways to try and fix the computer, I just said 'screw it'. Anyway, here I am now. I also have another run of writer's block, unfortunately. Until a few minutes ago, I didn't have any ideas of what this chapter was going to be about. Anyway, try to bear with me as I try and write this chapter out.

Love Hina Next: Second Phase

Chapter 29: Nothing to Do on a Rainy Day…

And so, it continued to rain for days. The droplets would occasionally cease to fall for a few hours, then resume to hit the ground and roofs with a 'pitter-patter'. The ground was completely soaked. Children would sometimes run out of their houses and run around before being caught and scolded by their parents. Stray dogs would sadly walked down the streets in the cold, wet weather. And at the Suichi Mansion, the current residents were sitting around, completely bored. T'was a rainy and boring Saturday evening. Junko growled lightly under her breath, face against the window, breathing in and out. She stared at the fog that she was making on the window with her warm breath. She then quickly wrote her name in it and watched as it faded away. She sighed. "Shit, I am bored…"

"Well whatever…" Sakura muttered. "That's good for you, but could you please not bother us about it? You've been saying stuff like that for hours and it's becoming very annoying…" She stood up from her seat and scratched her nose. "We're all bored… But seriously, you don't hear us complaining about it, do you? Geez…" She put her hands in her pockets and began to walk up the stairs.

Junko raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?"

"To go find something to do, of course!" Sakura replied, without looking back. "Maybe if I can find something that you're interested in, I can get you to shut up!"

Junko's left eyebrow twitched. "Why you--!!" She picked up a huge jade Buddha statue and tossed it at Sakura's head. "How dare you say that!!"

Just then, Shinichi walked out of the Game Room. He smiled. "Hey, anyone want to play-- Gyuh?!" His eyes widened as the statue came dangerously closer and closer towards his face.

"Oh shit!" Junko screamed as the statue smacked him in the face with a sickening 'thud' as it came in contact with his head, and a 'shatter' as his glasses broke into pieces. Sakura, knowing nothing of her cousin's predicament, continued to walk up the stairs. Junko smacked her forehead as she watched Shinichi fall to the ground. "Gyaah… Sorry 'bout that… I was trying to blast that bitch Sakura in the head, but…" She began to get a little worried as she realized that Shinichi was unconscious. "Um…" She stared at his body for a few moments in silence. "Eeeek!" She screamed, grabbing his body and shaking him. "Hey! Are you okay?! Say something, damn it!! Shit, he's not breathing!" She bit her lip, her cheeks turning a light pink. "I guess I'll have to… do CPR, or something…" She sighed, pressing her lips against his.

At that moment, Shinichi awoke. His eyes became wide as saucers as he and Junko looked at each other in shock. Junko quickly snapped her head back up, their lips making a 'pop' as they separated. Both Junko and Shinichi blushed heavily. "Um… What was that about?" He asked.

Junko huffed, crossing her arms. "Don't get the wrong idea or anything… I was trying to give you CPR after I 'beaned' you in the head with that Buddha statue… You weren't breathing, so…"

Shinichi blinked rapidly. "I wasn't?" He smiled. "In that case, thank you very much… Even if it was a waste and we basically ended up kissing…"

"And we saw the whole thing!" Ami said, grinning. "So cute!"

Naoko's eyes widened. "But but… That's not fair, Junko! You don't even like Shin-sama! Why did you get to kiss him before me?!" She gasped at her sudden outburst and quickly ran into the kitchen.

"Oh my…" Kairi said softly, in ghost form. "Even I haven't gotten to kiss him on the lips yet…" She began to giggle.

"Stop making fun of us, damn it!!" Junko screamed. She raised her fist. "Or I'll um… Uh…"

Ami shook her head. "Anyway, I'm just going to um… Make something to eat…"

Shinichi sweat dropped. "No offense Ms. Ami, but please get Ms. Naoko to help you…"

Ami sighed. "Yes, Shinichi-kun…" She walked into the kitchen, while Kairi floated away to wherever.

As Ami was preparing some rice balls, she sub-consciously created one in the shape of a bunny. A white rice bunny. Her eyes began to tear up. "Tenshi… Where are you? I miss you so much…"

Naoko, who was still in her school uniform by the way, frowned. "What is it, Ami-neesan?"

"My guardian, a white bunny named Tenshi that you've already met, has been missing for months…"

Naoko gasped. "OH!! You mean that cute widdle bunny-wunny that used to hang around you?! Yeah, where did she gooo?! Waaah!!" Naoko cried, tears like waterfalls.

Ami sweat dropped. "Wow, I think you might even be more upset than I am, if that's possible…" She smiled hopefully. "But… I just know that Tenshi is safe, and will return to me someday… I just know it!"

Naoko sniffled. "That's so sweet… Come home, Tenshi!!! WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

Ami sighed. "Um… I think I'm going to wash that laundry that everyone's been holding off on…" She opened a door and went into the laundry room. There were more than 50 washing machines and dryers. She walked over to a basket of dirty laundry and looked for the laundry detergent. She smiled as she found it, then screamed as a hand clung to the other side. "Kyaaah!! Hey wait… Megumi? What are you doing here?!"

Megumi yawned loudly and stared at Ami lazily. "Um… Sleeping?"

Ami sweat dropped. "Well can you please let go of the laundry soap? I need to wash these dirty clothes…"

Megumi yawned again, then stood up. She continued to hold onto the soap as if it was her child. "Don't worry about it… I'll do it myself Don't worry your freakishly white haired head, my short and flat-chested friend… Just you go and um… I dunno, stuff your bra or something?…"

Ami whined, her eyes big and teary. "Why are you so mean to me, Megumi?"

Megumi giggled and patted her on the head. "Because it's so damn fun! You're the only one that makes a big deal about it!" She watched as Ami sadly walked out of the laundry room, a black cloud over her head. She sighed and turned around to the basket of dirty clothes. "Now let's see… First, let's get all these clothes in the wash!" She dumped all of the clothes, regardless of color, into the machine. She rubbed her chin. "Now let's see, what did Mama always tell me about mixing colors and whites?" After a moment of thought, she shrugged. "Eh, doesn't matter!" She then took the soap and looked at the label for instructions. "Hmm… 'Pour in one cap full of 'Happy Turtle Laundry Detergent Soap into machine with clothes…' Okay!" She then opened the container, filled the cap with soap, and poured it in. She stared into the machine and frowned. "Hey now, that's not going to be enough… Is it? Those clothes look awfully dirty… Maybe a little more won't hurt…" She poured in another cap full, before taking the whole container and pouring it all in. "Aw, what the hell? Why not the whole thing?" She closed the door, set the machine on large load, warm water and walked off.

In the living room, at around that same time, Shinichi was resting his head in Junko's lap. His glasses broken, it was hard for him to see. He would occasionally fidget around uncomfortably, making Junko turn a light red. "Um… This is nice and all, Ms Junko but…"

Junko cleared her throat. "H-hey!" She stuttered. "Don't take it the wrong way! It's the least I can do after hitting you in the head like that! God, people these days…"

Shinichi gulped. "N-no! I didn't mean it like that! I um…"

Junko glared down at him. "Then what did you mean it like, huh?"

"Hey!" Sakura yelled, coming down the steps. "Quit picking on him!" Under her arm was a box of some sort. "And everyone get out here! I found something really cool!"

"What is it?" Naoko asked, bringing a plate of rice balls into the room. She set it on the table and tilted her head. "Please tell us, Sakura-neechan…"

"Hold yer horses, squirt…" Sakura muttered. "Gotta wait for these slowpokes to get here…"

Ami walked out of the bathroom, and Megumi just happened to walk into the room at that same time. Kairi floated through a wall and smiled. "Oh! What is it?"

The incestuous dominatrix wannabe smirked. "Well now that you're all here, I can show you…" She put the box and the table and stared at the label. "This, my friends, is a little game called Twister!"

(Author's Note: I also don't own Twister, obviously…)

Junko sweat dropped. "Twister? Isn't that game like, ancient? No one plays it anymore, not even the electronic version…"

Sakura stomped her foot. "That's the problem!! Mom and dad used to play it with me, but… Ever since mother died and father went all psycho and power hungry, I haven't gotten to play it with anyone…"

Shinichi smiled. "Well, I'll play with you!" He sweat dropped as Sakura hugged him and began to twirl a finger on his chest. "Um…"

"You can always 'play' with me, cousin… But only after I've given you a nice spanking!" She cried out as she was pounded in the head by Junko. "Ow! That really hurt, y'know…"

"I know…" Junko said, growling. "Fine, I'll play this stupid game if only to get Sakura to stop with the incest shit…" She shivered. "That really really creeps me out, by the way…"

Sakura, still hugging, Shinichi, stuck out her tongue. "So um… Who's going to spin the spinner?"

Ami, who was setting up the game, grinned while spinning the spinner with her mind. "I will!" She looked to Kairi. "Um… Ms. Kairi? Since you can't really play right now, would you mind telling us what the spinner lands on? I sort of want to play, too…"

Naoko nodded. "Um, me too…"

Megumi waved her hands in the air. "Me three!"

Kairi nodded. "It would be my pleasure…" She pouted her lip. "I wanted to play, though… Poo. Oh well…"

And so, the game began. As the spinner spun, Kairi watched. "Right foot, Red!" And so, that's what the others did. The game continued. "Left hand, yellow! Left foot, blue! Right foot, yellow! Left hand, green! Oh my, everyone's all tangled up! Don't fall, now!"

Sure enough, everyone was all tangled up and trying not to mess up and lose. Shinichi, his arms and legs all twisted around the board, struggled with all his might to stay up. Thankfully, his new muscles were helping out quite a bit. 'Heh, if I had been playing this a little while ago, I would have been doomed!' He looked up, his eyes widening. Right in front of him was Naoko, and his face had ended up her skirt. 'Pink! Gyah!! Damn it, why the hell am I ogling a 12-year-old's panties?! Am I really that deprived?! I'm ashamed…' He quickly looked back down to the game, hoping no one would notice.

Unfortunately for him, someone did… "Hey! Damn it, Shinichi! Stay out from under my lil' sis's panties!" She lunged toward him and… The whole group landed in a heap.

"Ow…" Naoko groaned, rolling over on her back and accidentally flashing her panties at Shinichi.

Shinichi, blushing slightly, pointed. "Hey, ducky panties… Cute…"

"Eep!" Naoko screamed, blushing heavily and pushing her skirt back down. 'Shin-sama saw my panties… How embarrassing… Now he probably thinks I'm just a little girl…'

Sakura stared at Junko, who had flown head first into the table. A small puddle of blood was quickly staining the floor. "Holy shit, I think she's dead…" She poked her in the butt a few times.

"KYAAAAH!!" Naoko screamed. "Junko!!"

"Ms. Junko?!" Shinichi yelled, gently picking her up. "Ms. Junko, speak to me!!"

Junko slowly opened her eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine… Damn, you gotta scream so loudly, Naoko? That hurt my ears!"

Everyone smiled. Shinichi set her on the couch and smiled softly. "Ms. Junko, are you going to be all right?"

Junko blushed, then quickly shook it away. "Yes! Of course!"

Ami frowned. "You're still bleeding, though… I'm going to get some bandages…" She turned around and ran towards the bathroom. She flinched, then fell to her knees. "Ahh! My ankle! I must have twisted it when we all fell!"

Megumi sweat dropped. "Wow, that was one dangerous game of Twister…"

Shinichi sighed, walking over to Ami and picking her up. He sighed, chuckling. "You girls have really got to be more careful…"

Ami giggled. "Hee hee… I'll try, Shinichi-kun… By the way, why exactly do you wear glasses?"

"I'm far sighted, Ms. Ami…" He replied. "I can't see things that are close up without my sight getting blurry…" He smiled. "I'd recognize your cute face anywhere, though…"

She blushed, looking away. 'Heh, he must be hanging around Yamato-sama, Mr. Urashima, and Mr. Noriyasu…'

Shinichi nodded, then looked to Junko. "Um…" He looked to Sakura. "Could you get Ms. Junko some bandages? They should be in the bathroom, in one of the cabinets…"

Sakura nodded once, then ran towards the bathroom. She suddenly stepped in something wet, then looked down. Soap suds, and the floor was quickly being covered with it. "Um… Is someone doing laundry? If so, how much did you use?"

Megumi raised her hand. "It was me! Me! And I used the whole thing, of course!"

Everyone stared at Megumi as a burst of suds filled the room. Soon, they were up to their knees in suds, Naoko to her waist. Sakura growled. "Megumi, you idiot!!"

Megumi began to chuckle nervously. "Um… oops?…"

Everyone screamed out as the suds got higher, higher, higher, h--
