Love Hina Next: Second Phase
Chapter 62: A Shocking Development!
Shinichi was being followed. As he walked down the upstairs hallway of Hinata House, he could sense that someone was behind him, watching his every move. Suddenly, his stalker pounced without warning, knocking him to the ground. "Junko! What the hell are you doing!" His girlfriend had him pinned down to the ground, dressed in her fighting gi. "And why are you wearing that?" He raised an eyebrow as she shoved his own gi at him.
She stared at him blankly. "You, me, forest. NOW."
The youngest Suichi male scratched the back of his head nervously. "Junko… This is insane… Why are you doing this?"
"Why won't you marry, me!" she screamed her reply, running towards him angrily. "Answer me, damn it!" She threw a punch at him, which he quickly blocked.
"Junko, I told you! I'm just not ready for a big responsibility like that!" he dodged her quick barrage of blows, trying to simply avoid her and defend until she calmed down… hopefully.
"But I love you!" she screeched, throwing a punch that made it's target.
"Ack!" Shinichi winced, rubbing his cheek. "You're really serious, aren't you?" He hated the thought of fighting his girlfriend, but she was out of control. As Junko kicked him, he grabbed her leg and spun her around. She went in for a back hand strike, and he easily blocked it. She backed away and punch him in the abdomen, knocking the wind out of him. He quickly grabbed her arms and got a good hold on her.
"Let me go, damn it!" she shouted. "I'll call rape!"
"Not until you stop this nonsense! Wha?" In Junko's attempt to trip him, she forgot that he had a grip on her and they both fell to the ground.
Junko groaned as she lifted herself slightly up, her hips pressed against Shinichi's. She gasped, her face turning red as a certain part of her boyfriend began to press against her. "Ah… Shinichi…"
"J-Junko!" Shinichi screamed. "I'm so sorry!" he was quickly silenced as Junko lightly pressed her finger against his lip. He stared as her gi began to slip down her shoulders, exposing the top of her breasts.
"Shinichi…" she began, in a mischievous voice. "All this fighting…" she panted, out of breath. "… has gotten me excited…" she grinned, looking down. "And it looks like it got you excited as well…"
He shook his head. "Junko, no… We don't even have a…" He yelped as Junko grabbed his shirt.
"I don't give a crap!" she screamed. "I'm horny, and you're gonna do me here and now!"
"Yes ma'am!" he squeaked, as she pulled him towards her and kissed him on the lips. He grinned, slipping his tongue into her mouth. He winced as Junko began to grind against him…
"Oh, wow…" Junko sighed, pressing her head against his chest. "Shinichi, that was amazing…"
"I know…" he replied, running a hand through her hair. "I must have been really good, because you scratched the hell out of my back!"
"It's only fair…" She glared at him. "That hurt when you bit me on the neck…"
Shinichi rolled his eyes. "That was because you bit me first!"
"Oh yeah…" she laughed.
He gave her a worried look. "Junko, I really think we should have used a…"
"Don't worry about it…" she said, in an assuring tone. "Whatever happens, happens… We love each other, right?"
Shinichi nodded. "Right… If you got pregnant, the last thing I would do is be like one of those deadbeat dads who leaves their family…"
"So you made love right there in the middle of the forest!" Naoko screamed. She pouted. "How romantic, yet kinky… I'm so jealous of you, big sister!" The girls were all having a conversation in the living room, where Junko had just revealed all the steamy details.
Junko sweat dropped. "It's not exactly something I'm proud of… I lost all self control that time… We both did, in fact." She ran a hand through her hair. "But he's wonderful lover… He put my pleasure before his and damn, he's good at eating p-"
"Okay, Too Much Information here…" Sakura said, interrupting. "I like a nice juicy story as much as the next woman, but I'm seriously not in the mood… I'm jealous of you too, and thinking about you getting nailed and not me makes me sick…"
"Did you use a condom?" Kairi asked, a worried look on her face. "I mean, I trust that Shinichi doesn't have anything icky and all, but still…"
Junko sighed, shaking her head. "No… That's another thing I'm ashamed of… I haven't even had a test or anything yet…"
Ami stared at her friend. "You should, though… Just in case…"
Junko groaned, staring at the ground. "I know…"
Junko nervously walked through the drugstore, wearing a huge sun hat, shades, and a trench coat as a disguise. She searched through the different brands of pregnancy tests, looking for one that was just the right price. "Let's see… I don't want a really cheap one, 'cuz those might be crappy… I also don't want any of the insanely expensive ones because those could turn out to be equally crappy, just in pretty packaging…" After picking one that seemed to suit her needs, she went up to the cash register to buy it. Not wanting to look too suspicious, she also picked up a bag of potato chips, a pack of chewing gum, and a magazine on the way up to the front of the store. Waiting in line, she began to become more embarrassed. She considered dumping the rest of the stuff and high tailing it out of the store, but she didn't want to embarrass Shinichi by being the 'Criminal Girlfriend of Japan's Richest Son' if she got caught. Taking a deep breath, she gathered up all her courage and walked up to the register as her turn came up. She chuckled nervously as she put all of the items on the counter. Suddenly, she stared, her jaw almost dropping as she realized that Shinichi was working the register.
Shinichi smiled at her as he scanned the items. "Oh hey there, Junko! Fancy meeting you here! I just started working here today as a back-up job!"
"Shinichi!" she screeched, eyes bugging out. "You… recognized me!"
The man stared at her as if she had grown two extra breasts. "Well, yeah… I wouldn't be a very good boyfriend if I couldn't recognize my own girlfriend through such a lame disguise…"
An anger mark appeared on Junko's forehead, and she proceeded to pick up another magazine and smack her lover on the head. "You jerk! What the hell is wrong with my disguise!"
Shinichi chuckled, shaking his head and continuing his work. The pregnancy test quickly caught his eye. "Hey, wait a second…"
Junko's eyes widened in horror. 'Oh shit! I'm caught…' she thought to herself, biting her lip.
"… is one of your friends pregnant?" he asked.
Junko face faulted. Getting back up, she quickly lied. "Y-yes! Well actually, she doesn't know yet! That's why I'm buying this test for her!"
"That's so nice of you, Junko!" he replied, smiling. "That'll be 8250¥, by the way…"
"Oh!" Junko nodded awkwardly, pulling out her wallet. "Right!" slapping the money on the counter. She quickly gathered up her things and ran. "Bye, seeya when you get home!"
"Why was she in such a rush?…" Shinichi asked himself, as he watched her run off.
"HEY!" an angry customer shouted. "I hate to be rude, but I've been waiting forever! Can I please get some service here!"
Shinichi screamed, quickly scanning the man's items. "Aaah! Sorry about that, sir!"
"Whew, that was close…" Junko sighed to herself as she closed the door.
"What was close?" Tenshi, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
"Gyaah!" Junko screamed, looking to the girl-bunny. "Tenshi, don't do that!"
Tenshi smiled. She had grown up quite a bit in the past couple of years. While she and Kai didn't age as fast as regular bunnies, they grew up quite quickly. Tenshi was now physically older than Naoko. She could almost be considered Ami's younger sister. What helped was the fact that she was wearing one of Ami's old outfits. "So, you bought a pregnancy test?"
"Y-yes… I almost got caught by Shinichi…" Junko replied, uneasily.
"Whoa, Junko got boned!" Kai shouted, grinning. "Right on! Shinichi, that stud!" Now taller and sporting a goatee, he had a ridiculously spiky haircut that stuck about a foot into the air. He wore a black bikers outfit, and even rode Yamato's old motorcycle that he fixed up himself. He winced as his sister pounded him on the head.
"You're such a perve…" she muttered, frowning. "Don't you ever learn?" Giving him a concerned look, she sighed. "Kai, I'm worried that your attitude will get you in trouble one day…"
Kai raised an eyebrow, rubbing his head. "You're concerned for me?"
Tenshi smiled, sticking out her tongue. "Of course, you dork!" she put a hand on his face. "I'm your sister, I love you…"
Kai's cheeks turned pink as he stared at her. "Sis…"
The white rabbit with a human form blushed, smiling brightly at him. "Brother…"
"Ahem…" Junko interrupted. "Hey, it's none of my business what you two do in private, but could you tone down on the incestuous stuff while the rest of us are around?"
Kai chuckled, shrugging. "What do you expect, we're rabbits…"
"I can't believe that we almost…" Tenshi began, turning slightly green. "Excuse me…" Tenshi trailed off as she ran off, presumably to the nearest toilet.
Junko sighed once again. "I guess I'll take the test in another bathroom…"
Junko's lip quivered as she dropped the test to the ground, staring down at it. It was official: She was pregnant. "Oh my god… What am I going to tell Shinichi?"
"Tell me what, Junko?" Shinichi asked, standing over to her right.
"Gyaah!" Junko screamed, jumping away from, him. "Shinichi! When did you get home?"
"Just a few minutes ago…" he explained, peeking into the bathroom. "What are you doing, anyway?" His eyes widened as he saw the pregnancy test on the ground. "Junko… That wasn't for your 'friend', was it?"
Junko slowly nodded her head. "Yes… Shinichi… We're going to have a baby!"
It took the man a few moments to process the new information that his girlfriend would be giving birth to their child. Once he did, however, he exactly what to do. He ran like hell.
"Shinichi! You bastard! Get back here!" the tomboy screamed, chasing him as he ran out of the building.
Shinobu rolled her eyes after almost getting plowed down by the two. "Let me guess… Junko was pregnant…" She watched as Shinichi ran down the steps, sweat dropping as Junko fell down. She ran over to help her up. "Junko! Are you okay?" She gasped as Junko began to cry. "Junko, what?…"
"How could he?…" Junko said softly. "How could he run off on me like that?" She cried out, reaching towards the steps. "Shinichi, please… Come back to me… Come back to me!"
And so, a few weeks passed. Still no sign of Shinichi. Junko, who was lying in her bed, kicked the wall. The room shook from the force. "Damn it… What the hell am I supposed to do?"
"He still hasn't come back?…" Naoko asked, walking in.
"Damn it Naoko, don't you know how to knock!" she snapped. "No, that shit head still hasn't come back…"
"Hey, don't give up hope… I'm sure he'll be back…" She stared out the window. "Strange… It sure has been raining for a long time…"
"Does it look like I care?" Junko muttered bitterly. "I love him so much… I was hoping that Shinichi would be happy about this…" She chuckled. "But I was also afraid… Looks like I was right to be afraid…" She ran a hand gently against her abdomen. "Some nights, I wish I could get rid of it…"
"Don't say that!" Naoko screamed. "You don't mean that! I'm sure Shinichi loves you and the baby! I… I bet he's just as scared as you are!"
"Ha… I wish… you should have seen the way he ran off…" Junko said with a sad smirk. "It was a 'no way in hell am I putting up with this responsibility' type of run… He hates me… I don't blame him… I forced myself onto him…"
"That's not true at all! He loves you very much!" Naoko shouted. "You… you have to stop beating yourself up over this!"
"You're right!" Junko suddenly exclaimed, shocking Naoko. "Instead of sitting here and moping, I should go out and find him! He probably ran to his parent's house, the wuss!" Standing up, she grabbed a coat and ran out of the room.
"Junko! What the hell are you thinking!" the youngest Sagawa sibling shouted. "You could catch a cold and the baby could be in danger!"
As Junko rushed outside, everyone she passed by looked on in wonder. She dashed through the rain, angrily thinking to herself. 'Shinichi! Whether you like it or not, I'm dragging your sorry, family abandoning ass back here!' As someone caught her eye, she quickly stopped. Standing in the distance, at the front of the steps, was Shinichi. As the rain continued to poor down on them, Shinichi smiled at her. Junko smiled back, warm tears running down her face in contrast to the cold rain lightly pelting her. "Shi…Shinichi!" She ran over to him, grabbing him in a hug. "I missed you so much!"
Shinichi hugged her back, smiling down at her. "Junko… I… I did some thinking at my parent's house, and…" he chuckled, putting a hand behind his back. "I'm ready to start a family with you!" Breaking the hug, he pulled a box from his pocket. He opened the box to reveal a ring with a Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond in it. "Junko… Will you marry me?"
The woman smiled coyly at him, grabbing his arm, swinging him around, raising a fist and slugging him right in the face. The force sent him flying across the front area, and he went sliding through the mud. "That's for running out on me, you jerk!" Her pissed off expression softened. "But of course I'll marry you…"
Shinichi laughed, half of his body covered with mud. "That's great…"
Everyone else looked on happily from inside, some of them standing in the doorway. "Hey you two, get in here before you catch a cold!" Ami shouted. "Besides, that can't be good for the baby!"
"That's what I said earlier, but does anyone listen to me?…" Naoko muttered.
"Okay!" they both shouted, running towards the building, and their new future together…
End of Chapter 62.
Whew, finally got this one up!
