Chapter Five: Hard Choices.
Keitaro kept running without looking. In his mind were still the words of Kitsune, he couldn't think of anything else.
After a while he arrived at the park. He stopped running and walked slowly to the sandbox.
-It is amusing how always that something like this happens I end here. It must be my fate-
He sat down in the sandbox and began to think about his situation.
-I should expect something like this would happen. It was too good to be true. I still can believe it, but there is no other explanation -
He was so sad that he almost cried. Then to make things worse he remembered what had really happened the day all of this began.
===========================FLASH BACK=========================
Keitaro was reading the book the old man had given to him about the turtle civilization.
"The Kame vase, nobody knows for sure is this ancient vase from the turtle civilization exist or not, but it is believed it can grant one wish to the one who holds it. The Kame vase was supposedly kept at the great temple of the turtle god "
As he read this words Keitaro fell down on the floor
"The Kame vase, could this vase be it"
Tama begun to nod
"myu, myu".
"This vase sure looks a lot like the one on the drawing, but this could be just a copy of the original"
Keitaro thought of it for a second
"It will be really cool, if it could grant me a wish"
He held the vase in his hand, began to think of it and smiled.
-I'll wish that Narusegawa fell in love crazily with my -
"Indeed it would be very cool"
Keitaro was about to continue reading when a noise from the entrance caught his attention.
===========================FLASH BACK=========================
- It was the Kame vase. It just granted my wish, Narusegawa isn't really in love with my, is just that stupid wish -
Keitaro fell very depressed. He fell worse than the time all the residents of Hinata were mad at him.
His entire life had change that day, he thought it was for the best, but now his dreams and hopes were destroyed. What was worst was that he didn't know what to do.
-What should I do now? Should I tell Narusegawa or should I stay like this-
"You should stay like this"
The answer came form Keitaro's left shoulder where a mini version of Kitsune with horns and tail was standing, grinning evilly at Keitaro.
"You know that's not right"
This time the answer came from Keitaro's right shoulder where a mini version of Shinobu with wings and an aureole was giving the mini Kitsune an angry look.
"It may not be rigth but you know that it'll be the only way you'll get Naru. Don't be silly trying to do the right thing"
"Don't listen to her if you keep trying as you have been, Narusegawa will sooner or later realize how important you are for her and will fall in love with you"
"Sooner or later? Why does he have to wait? He already has her, he doesn't have to do anything anymore, just keep things like they are now"
"He doesn't have her. She is in love with him just for the wish"
"So what? It doesn't matter how, what really matters is that she is in love with him"
"Keitaro, do you really want the things this way"
"I...I'm"
Keitaro couldn't answer. He wasn't sure of what he wanted, so he just stood there hearing both points of view hoping it'll help him decide what would be the best way to solve this problem.
"Of course he wants this. There is no other way he'll get her"
"He could keep trying"
He wasn't sure if he wanted to keep trying, what for? If Narusegawa hadn't fell in love with him now after all he had done, would she ever?
"He could keep trying, what for? She will never love you. Just look at you, you are a loser who never had a girlfriend, it took you four tries to get in Todai and you haven't gone to classes yet"
Keitaro was thinking that the mini Kitsune was right. He was a loser, why would Narusegawa ever look at him. The mini Shinobu looking at the sad expression of Keitaro began to talk.
"That doesn't matter. Keitaro you know that even though that is true, you still have a lot of qualities. You're caring, honest and you never give up. Just think of how the things in Hinata were before you arrived. The girls may not say it but they all care for you"
"Yeah, that's why they hit him all the time to show him how much they care for him"
"You know that's not true. They hit you because they misunderstand your mistakes"
"That doesn't give them the rigth to hit him"
"That's enough, I'm here to help Keitaro decide what to do. Keitaro I can't tell you what to choose but think is this is how you want your relationship with Narusegawa to be, forced by a wish not for her own will. Do you want to be always wondering what could have happened if you have tried without the wish"
"I have had enough of you"
The mini Kitsune jumped to Keitaro's right shoulder and began to wrestle with the mini Shinobu. Keitaro has been brought back to reality by the words of the angel.
"Stop this. I've made a choice"
They stopped fighting to listen what he had chose to do.
"I'm going to do the right, I'm going to find a way to undo the wish and then I'll try to get Narusegawa. Even if I never get her I'm going to feel better knowing I tried my best and didn't get her than to get her by force "
With those words the both sides of Keitaro disappear.
- Well now what? I've made my choice but ...-
Keitaro was interrupted by a yell.
"KEITARO! KEITARO!"
-I forgot about the girls. Better tell them I'm here-
"Hey Naru, I'm here"
When Naru heard him, she ran to him.
"Keitaro, where have you been? I was worried about you"
"I'm sorry Naru"
-I can't tell her about the wish rigth now. She could think it's just an excuse to break up. But I have to tell her something-
"I don't know why I did that, I think I had too much to drink "
-I hope she believes that-
"I was very worried I didn't know what to do when you just began to run"
"I'm very sorry, I won't drink that much again"
"Well, the important is that I've found you and that you're safe"
Keitaro smiled and scratched his head.
"Yes, you are rigth"
"We better tell the girls I've found you. They were all worried about you too and were looking for you"
- So they really care for me-
"Yes, let's find them"
"Don't worry I'll go look for them, you go back to Hinata and rest"
"Thank you Naru"
Keitaro was thankful to be left alone, this way he could think what to do without being bothered. He walked to Hinata.
-I have to find a way to undo the wish, but how? -
When he arrived at the Hinata, he went straight to his room.
-I'm so depressed I can't think of anything. But I had to do something even if I lose her forever-
He looked around his room trying to find something than could help him. An object in his desk drew his attention.
-What I didn't think of that before-
He walked to his desk and opened the book the old man had given to him.
- Maybe there's something in here than can be helpful-
Keitaro spent an hour reading the book, but couldn't find anything.
- There has to be something in here. And I'm going to find it even if it takes me all the night -
And he would have done it, if he hadn't been interrupted by the arrival of the girls. They wanted to see if him was all rigth.
"Hey Keitaro, how are you?"
"I'm fine Su, thanks for asking"
"Are you sure, Sempai?"
"Yes Shinobu, I'm fine. I'm sorry for make you worry"
"It's ok, I know how people can get when they drink too much"
"Now that everything's fine I should go make dinner"
"Yes! I'm very hungry"
"You always are, Su"
The girls left Keitaro's room laughing at that joke. Keitaro began to feel better.
-Maybe I won't get Narusegawa after I undo the wish, but I'll still have them-
He still hasn't found anything, but he had an idea.
-That's it, I'm going to ask the old man maybe he knows something. After all he gave me this book-
Not sure of how all of this will end, Keitaro went to the dinning room to join the girls.
