And I'm back! Sorry, but I've had some writer's block going on, plus I'm alternating with another fic right now. But I'll try and write faster. Thanks for sticking with me.

Love Hina Next: Second Phase

Chapter 56: The Long Awaited Wedding (Part 2)

Our favorite trio of misfits were currently traveling along a road somewhere, miles away from Hinata House. Jin would occasionally give his brother a look that said 'I will kill you with a spoon…' How Static could read what his brother's face was exactly saying, who knows?

Yamato looked over the horizon, spotting a huge, somewhat old looking building. "Hey, maybe we should check that place up there out… They might have a phone or something…"

"I dunno…" Static began, looking at the building suspiciously. "I really don't like the looks of that place…"

The assassin patted his animal loving brother on the back and laughed. "You're too much of a worry wart, you know that?" He got a lecherous grin on his face. "Besides, there might be some beautiful women in there… You know how the story goes… Guy gets lost, finds a scary looking house, but it is filled with gorgeous, lustful women who want to"

Yamato burst out laughing. "Ha, ha! Jin, you perv! Though in a way, I hope you're right… It could be like a last minute bachelor party or something!" The three men then ran towards the house, not knowing what they would face…

"Hello?" the brown haired Urashima asked, walking into the building. For some strange reason, the door was open. The young men let their eyes wander around what seemed to be a hotel lobby. There was a kitchen directly in the back, and a door on the right that led to some room. There was a set of steps and the whole building seemed very gray. There was a sudden breeze, closing the door.

Static's eyes widened in fear. "…How did a breeze come from inside the house?"

"Welcome, gentlemen…" the voice of a slightly older woman said warmly. The trio looked towards the stairs to see a woman in her early 30's walk down. Her long dark blue hair went all the way down her back She was dressed in a frilly blue shoulder less dress that showed off her cleavage, and she wore a small pair of glasses on her face. "Hello boys…" She said in a sultry voice, staring at them with her yellow eyes. "Welcome to my home… My name is Maki Kagura… May I help you?"

After he finished ogling her like the author would ogle a donut, Yamato cleared his throat. "Um, yes, actually! I just wanted to ask if we could use your phone?"

The woman frowned. "I'm sorry… Our phone is dead at the moment… But you can 'play' with my girls for a few hours while I try to get someone to come over and fix it…" She snapped her fingers, and suddenly a huge group of girls dressed similarly to Maki came running down the stairs.

"Oh… my god…" Jin muttered. A grin spread across his face. "I was right… See, didn't I tell you?"

"Dude, I will never doubt you again…" Yamato said plainly, taking in the eye candy.

"Must resist, must resist, must resist…" the calmer of the brothers muttered to himself.

One of the girls, who had pink hair, smiled brightly. "I just love animals, don't you?"

Static grinned. "Finally! A woman who understands!"

"Wanna join us for a bath?" one of the woman asked.

Yamato frowned. "I dunno, today's sort of my wedding and"

"Yes, please!" they all shouted, grabbing their breasts and squeezing them together. "Join us, it will be fun!"

"…Well I guess we could stay a little while longer…" Yamato said, looking around and smiling.

And so, the boys enjoyed a nice bath with the girls. The women seemed to take pleasure in teasing the shy Static. He blushed heavily and tried to turn away, but he would then see that there were more girls behind him. Yamato laughed, patting him on the back "Hey man, relax!"

"Have you no shame!" He asked angrily, staring at his friend. "Today is your wedding day, and here you are frolicking with naked women!" He screamed as one of the women dunked him under water.

"Don't listen to him, Yama-pai…" The woman said, giggling. She had very short green hair and chocolate brown eyes. "Please, stay and play with us…"

Yamato grinned, nodding in agreement. "Yeah… It's not my fault that we are stuck here… Besides, it's like I said… Think of it as a last minute bachelor party…"


Meanwhile, back at Hinata House, the wedding had started. Or at least, it should have started. Unfortunately, as we know, Yamato had still not arrived. Everyone had mixed feelings of worried ness and annoyance.

Ema panicked, tugging on her hair. "Oh no! What if they got abducted by aliens or something! They could be getting anal probed or worse!"

"…Okay, I'm not hungry anymore…" Haruka muttered.

"I think I'm going to be ill…" Sarah chimed in. "I'm getting mental images now…"

Shinichi shuddered. "Ghastly…"

Kanako sighed, shaking her head as she walked past. "Idiots…" She frowned as she took a sip of non-sweetened tea. "Where is that step nephew of mine, anyway?"

"Damn it, doesn't he have a cell phone or something on him?" Junko asked, crossing her arms.

"Do you?" Sakura asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

Junko bit her lip, looking away. "Shut up…" she muttered to herself softly.


Yamato sighed, smacking his forehead. "What the hell am I doing?" He stood up and got out of the bath. He dried himself off and put his clothes back on. Static had already gotten dressed again.

"Yama-pai, where are you going?" another woman asked.

"Sorry, Kirika… Girls, there's someone that I'm very in love with… I almost lost sight of that…" He smiled to Static, who grinned back in approval. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a wedding to get going to!"

"You're right, Shima…" Jin said, getting out as well. "This… isn't right. Look girls, you should be so submissive… It's not healthy."

Maki stared at them from her seat on the couch. "…You're leaving so soon?"

Yamato nodded. "Yes, Ms. Kagura… You see, I'm an engaged man and"

Suddenly, Maki began to glow in a red aura. "I'm sorry… But we cannot let you go… We're not finished with you yet…"

Yamato backed up a bit, glaring. "I don't know or care what you are, but I cannot let you stop me… I… I will not let Tokimi down…"

Jin stood in front of his friend, whispering over to him. "Go ahead, man… I'll try and distract her…"

Yamato frowned worriedly. "You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Jin grinned. "Now get the hell out of here, you've got a wedding to get to…"

Yamato nodded, looking to Static. "Come on, let's go…" they both ran towards the door, but found that it was locked. "What the hell!"

Maki smiled evilly. "I'm afraid that I can't let you go… Our spirits cannot rest until we've taken the soul of a dedicated virgin man…"

The men looked at Maki plainly. After a few seconds of silence, awkward grins on their face. They then suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahahaha! Sorry, lady…" Yamato yelled, grabbing his sides. "But… I'm not a virgin and these poor saps behind me don't even have girl friends!"

"Is that really something…" Jin began.

"…that we should be proud of?" his brother finished.

"Oh!…" Maki put a hand to her mouth. "Sorry for troubling you, then…" She chuckled. "Oh fine then, go on your way… Good luck, boys!"


"…Well that was just plain ODD!" The calmer of the Alucard brothers shouted. The three men were currenty back o the road, walking.

"Yeah, more hot ghost women… Who woulda thunk…" Yamato muttered. "Now how the hell will we get back?"

"Relax, we'll figure out something…" the assassin muttered.

At that moment, a man in brown robes walked over to them. He had something long slung over his back and was wearing a hood. The shadows covered his eyes. "Hello, there… I heard that you were in trouble and I was wondering if I could be of some assistance…"

Yamato sighed. "Unless you can hook us up with a car to Hinata House, I really doubt it…" He raised an eyebrow as he got a good look at his attire. "And no offense, but you really don't look like the type to drive…"

The man laughed. "None taken… I get free frequent flyer miles anyway…" He reached back to bring out the long object, which seemed to be a long stick of some sort. "I do not have a car, but this will have to do…" He uttered a few words that were very foreign sounding to the trio.

They gasped as they began to fade. "Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Jin shouted. "I'm going to" and with that, they were gone.

Negi Springfield chuckled as Yamato, Jin, and Static were transported to Hinata House. He looked towards you, the readers and sighed. "Yes, yes, I know… It's a bit of a cop-out but hey… It works…"


Tokimi fell to her knees, tears running down her face. "Yamato, where are you? Please be all right… I love you so much, and if anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I'd do…"

Rikina put a hand on her best friend's shoulder. "I'm sure he's all right…" She glared. "He'd better have a damn good reason for missing his wedding!" It was now late in the evening. The weather was getting a bit cool, and everyone was starting to go inside.

"Well, maybe he'll show up tomorrow…" Kitsune began, taking a swig from a sake bottle she snatched earlier. She gave a reassuring smile to Tokimi. "Don't worry, Yamato is a strong guy… I'll bet you we'll see him soon…"

Naru, who was still sitting in her chair, sighed. "I guess that there's no choice…" She stood up and ran a hand through her sandy brown hair. "We'll have to postpone the we"

"Wait right there, mom!" shouted a familiar voice. The remaining people outside quickly turned towards the stairs to see a dirty, disheveled, and tired Yamato. Quickly following him were Jin and Static, breathing heavily. "Sorry we're late, but Mr. Turtle here made us trash our ride!" He smirked as everyone stared at him. "Well, what are you doing staring at me like I'm a ghost or something! Today is perhaps the most important and wonderful day of my life!" He looked to Tokimi with a bright smile, winking. "Hey there, babe… Sorry if I worried you…"

Tokimi smiled happily, tears flowing down her eyes like waterfalls. "Yamato… you… idiot…"

And so, after taking a shower and finally finding his white tux, the wedding finally officially began. Jin and Static found their own suits in the briefcase they lost, oddly enough, with the same strange aura that they sensed from the man who helped them earlier…

The wedding, despite it being in the evening, was gorgeous. The oranges and reds in the sky made for a great effect. Yamato cleared his throat. "Excuse me, everyone… I have something very important to say… Before today, I thought that getting married was the end of the world… I was only doing it because Tokimi wanted to… When I proposed to her 2 years ago, I did it on a whim… But as the days until we were to be wed got closer and closer, I began to dread it… What if it didn't work out? What if Tokimi became a nagging fat housewife in a decade or so?" He winced as his bride growled. "Anyway… While I was lost earlier today, I came to a decision… I love Tokimi too much to let anything like that happen… We'll make this work out somehow… I know I'm not the perfect guy, and I really don't understand why Tokimi loves me so much, but…" He looked to her and sighed happily. "She's gonna be my wife and I wouldn't have it any other way…" There were a few 'awww's as he said that.

"Oh, Yamato…" Tokimi said softly, suddenly grabbing him into a kiss.

Everyone looked on happily, relieved that the wedding hadn't been a complete disaster…


And so, the party went on. Shinichi and the others were getting acquainted with the other residents and former residents of Hinata House that they had never met. Megumi was having an interesting conversation with Static. "So you're a veterinarian?"

"A-actually…" he began, muttering. "I'm simply studying to be one right now…"

Megumi squealed, poking him repeatedly. "You're so adorable! Very proper, as well…" She smiled at him, pressing against him teasingly. "You know, properness in a man really turns me on…"

"Bwa!" the animal lover screamed, blushing heavily. "I-I really don't think that this conversation is-"

"You're so cute!" the Japanese-American screamed, grabbing him in a hug.

By the snack table, Saki and Kanako were talking. "So you tore the picture of her and Shinichi up? Damn, that's harsh…"

"I know…" Saki muttered, bowing her head. "It was a terrible thing to do…"

"I know how you feel, though…" Kanako began. "You were there before any of them were… You've loved him the longest… It feels like they're trying to take him away from you…"

"Huh?" Saki began, looking up. "That happened to you before?"

"Yes…" Kanako said sadly. "Keitaro…"

Saki, who had just started sipping on some punch, spit it out at that moment. "What the hell! You were in love with your brother!"

Kanako stared at her, then sighed. "I knew that you would react in that way… Stepbrother, actually… The Urashima's adopted me…"

Saki sighed in relief, grabbing her chest and breathing heavily. "Oh, wow… What a relief…"

And outside, couples were dancing. Of course, a few girls were fighting over Shinichi. "Ack! H-hey! Let go! You all already got to dance with me at least once! I'm tired!" He shouted.

Kairi giggled. "Hey, Junko didn't dance…" She mischievously glanced towards the tomboy wallflower, who was sitting in a chair nearby. "Isn't that right?"

"Huh!" she shouted, looking around. "Who, me?" She asked, pointing to herself. She quickly regained her composure, crossing her arms. "And what makes you think I would want to dance with that loser?"

The other girls coughed. "Riiigght…" Sakura muttered, staring at her. "Quit with the act, girl… You know you want him, just like the rest of us…"

Junko choked, falling out of her seat. "But… b-but…"

"It's all right, Junko…" Ami said to her, smiling. "Go ahead, dance! We're supposed to be having fun!"

Shinichi chuckled, walking over to her and offering a hand to help her up. "So what do you say, Junko? I think I can handle one last dance…"

Junko gulped, blushing heavily. "Shinichi-kun…" She bit her lip and smiled a bit, taking his hand. "Okay… I'll dance…"

Shinichi smiled back, pulling her up. "Perfect…" He put his arms around her waist as she awkwardly put her hands on his shoulder. A soft tune started playing as they started dancing.

Ami looked on sadly, but then smiled. "They look so cute together…"

"Excuse me, Ami…" Jin began, walking up to her and tapping her on the shoulder. "But… Would you like to dance?"

Ami smiled. "That's so sweet of you, Mr. Alucard… Of course!"

As the pair was dancing, the white haired girl looked up to her dance partner. "You know, Mr. Alucard… I had the biggest crush on you when I was younger…"

Jin raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You did?"

Ami nodded. "Yeah…" She pouted, glaring at him. "But you always ignored me…"

The man sweat dropped. "Um, sorry…" 'God damn it, it's not fair! I didn't mean to ignore her!'

The girl giggled, resting her head on his chest. "It's all right, Mr. Alucard…"

He blushed. 'Wow, she's so cute…' "Anyway, how have you been?"

"I've been fine, thank you for asking!" she replied. "What about you?"

"The same…" Jin said, trailing off a bit. He sighed. "So… how do you feel about Shinichi?"

"I… think I love him…" Ami began. "He's a really sweet guy, and he's become a much stronger person since I first met him… But… him and Junko have become awfully close in the past couple of weeks…"

"Shinichi is a fool if he would turn such a beautiful woman who cares about him down…" the assassin said suddenly and angrily, surprising even himself.

"Mr. Alucard?…" Ami was a bit frightened by his sudden outburst. "Well, he can't really help it… No matter what his choice is, he'll be breaking a lot of girls hearts…"

Jin nodded. "I know… Sorry about tweaking out like that…"

The psychic smiled. "It's all right! You were just concerned for me as a friend, right?"

"Yeah… friend…"


And so, the long day came to an end. Everyone headed to the rooms they were staying in for the night and got ready to go to bed. In Keitaro and Naru's room, Naru sat in bed reading a book. Keitaro entered the room and closed the door, and slipped into bed with her. "What a day, huh? Wedding almost turned into a disaster and instead turned out quite well…"

Naru closed her book and put it away, nodding. "Our son is finally married…" She sweat dropped. "I feel old now…"

Urashima laughed, kissing her. "Well you're still as beautiful as ever…"

Narusegawa giggled. "Why thank you…" She thought for a moment. "You know…. Yamato, you, and Shinichi have quite a few similarities, despite your personalities…"

The dark brown haired man laughed, shaking his head. "Yeah, for some reason we attract flocks of women… Despite the fact that I was a dork, Yamato was a jerk, and Shinichi was a complete loser… It's amazing what several cute girls, a few beatings, and some crazy experiences can do to a guy, though… And it looks like Shinichi's journey to manhood is about to come to an end soon as well…"

The lighter brown haired woman yawned, hugging her husband. "Yep… and his girls will be with him every step of the way, just like with you two…"


In Shinichi's room, the girls had somehow convinced him to let them all sleep with him that night. As he lay on his back, Junko and Ami peacefully slept on either side of him, the tomboy holding his right hand while the psychic girl held the left. Naoko slept on top of him, resting her head on his chest. Megumi and Saki hugged his legs tightly as if they were teddy bears, while Sakura rested above him, unconsciously running her hands through his hair. They all rested themselves after this long and eventful day, not knowing that a certain pair of neglectful parents would arrive the next day…

End Chapter 56.


Damn, finally finished this one. Sorry about that, but I'll try to get the next one up quicker. Then again, I may or may not be able to get online soon. It depends… Well, see you soon. Hopefully…
