Mhm….guess what? I've got a secret! Know what it is! I don't' own love hina! MWAHAHA. Well….except for Kensai. He's mine! (laughs maniacally) ok. Back to the story.

Chapter 8: Love and Hate

Kensai blushed deeply. "What are you talking about?" "You know. You won, so now, I'm to be your wife." She said, her head down as she was blushing, just as deeply as Kensai. "But…I…" Kensai stuttered. "I…I've got to get going." He said as he blushed deeper and walked towards the hot spring.

Reaching the hot spring, Kensai put on a swimsuit. "I learned my lesson last time." He smiled reminiscently. Stepping into the hot spring, he put a towel on his head, letting out a sigh. "Geez, is it always this crazy in this house?" he said to himself out loud, smiling relieved. However, his concentration was broken as he heard a noise. Looking around, he couldn't see anything. "Keitaro? Is that you?" he asked confused. The sound came closer and closer until.. "Scrub Scrub." He felt a scrubbing feeling on his back. "BWAH!" he let out a shriek as he turned to see Motoko donning only a towel holding a brush up blushing. "I…I thought you might want your back scrubbed." She said, her face turning violet. Kensai was speechless. Seeing his expression, she got up quickly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…" she said as started to leave. Kensai stood up. "No, it's ok, really. I guess it would be all right." He blushed, putting his hand behind his head. Motoko looked shocked for a minute, and then smiled back.

Two Days later

Kensai's eyes looked like he had seen hell as he reached the breakfast table and collapsed. Keitaro looked up from his eggs. "Motoko still 'helping' you Kensai?" Kensai turned his head towards Keitaro. "She kept me up till 3 am telling me about the samurai, not that I wasn't interested, but she started at 12." "Ouch." Keitaro replied. "So I guess you're hitting it off with your new girlfriend." Keitaro replied slyly. "She's not my girlfriend." Kensai said tiredly. "I'm tired of telling you that." "Maybe someone should tell that to Motoko." Keitaro replied as he looked back down to his eggs. "Oh yeah, isn't today the day the ticket is for the amusement park?" Kensai asked changing the subject. "Yeah" Keitaro said smiling. "Going with anyone?" Kensai asked smirking. "Well, Shinobu has the other ticket, buts she's not sure if she wants to. She says she might just give it to Naru." "WHAT!" Kensai stood up and screamed. "What? What did I say?" Keitaro asked puzzled. "LIKE HELL!" Kensai said as he ran out of the door towards Shinobu's room. Knocking on the door he regained his composure. "Shinobu…" he said nicely as he lightly tapped on the door. The door slowly opened, Shinobu's eyes moist from crying Kensai guessed. "Oh, hello Kensai sempai." She said trying to force herself to smile. "Can I come in?" Kensai asked kindly. Shinobu nodded as Kensai walked in, closing the door behind him. "Now Shinobu, I hear that you may not go to the amusement park today." Kensai said as he sat down. "Well, I was thinking that Naru might…" Kensai slammed his hand down on the table. "Shinobu!" he said rather loudly. "You have to put yourself ahead of others once in a while. I know you like my brother, and I can tell my brother likes you. If you don't act now, you'll lose him forever! Sure Naru might be happy, but what about Keitaro? Do you want the knowledge that he's with someone he really doesn't love and gets beaten everyday by?" He said standing up and grabbing her shoulders. "Just say it." "I…I can't." Shinobu said, eyes tearing. "Please Shinobu, just say it." He looked into her eyes with a sad look. "I….love… Keitaro sempai." She said in a quite voice. "Good! Now are you going to let Naru muscle in and take your guy?" Kensai asked hopefullingly. Shinobu furrowed her brow. "NO!" "Good, now go out there, and when the time comes, confess!" "YES!" Shinobu said loudly as she walked out the door.

Looking where she left, Kitsune put her hand on Kensai's shoulder. "So I see you've already solved our little problem…" She said smirking. "Yeah, beat ya to it." he smiled back. "Well, I'm going to breakfast." He said as he walked back towards the kitchen. When he walked back in however, he saw Motoko attempting to cook some breakfast. Ever since 2 days ago she had been wearing her 'normal girl' outfit. Kensai thought it was rather cute, but completely different from what he was used to. However, at the current moment, Motoko was charring everything. "No, no no!" she started to get upset as she put out the fire showing what used to be a piece of fish. "Oh well…" She said as she started to take what remained of the fish to the garbage. "Hold on a sec." Kensai said as he took the fish out of the pan and put it on his plate and began to eat it. "It really isn't that bad." He said as he took a bite. Motoko looked shocked as she saw Kensai eating the charcoal, which barely resembled fish. Seeing him eat her food, Motoko started to blush a bit under the eyes. "It's actually really good!" Kensai said as he started to eat faster. "I'm…I'm glad you like it." Motoko said quietly as she blushed.

At that moment, Naru walked into the room. Giving Kensai a dirty look as she walked in, she sat down. "What's the matter with you?" Kensai asked Naru unenthused. "Nothing." She said simply as she picked up a cup of coffee. Yawning, Keitaro entered the room. "Oh, hey again everyone." He said seeing that some people had come back in the time he went to the bathroom. "Well, it seems that Shinobu…." He started, however, a loose board being on the floor, Keitaro tripped in his usual fashion and with a thump, landed on Naru, who fell over, him ending up on her lap. Getting up quickly he apologized rapidly. "I'm sorry Naru. I didn't mean to." However, in her usual dumb ass mannerism, her eyes turned to fire as she reared back, and once again, punched Keitaro out of the room. "That stupid per…." She said matter of factly, but she didn't get to finish her sentence before "BAM!" She felt a fist connect across her face, nearly knocking out a tooth. Kensai had gotten up out of his chair and punched Naru clear across the face.

Kensai, now full to the breaking point with anger, picked Naru up and held her by the scruff of her shirt against the wall, and then raised her up off the ground. "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!" Kensai screamed at her. "Why do you keep doing that? Do you ENJOY beating up on my brother! I told you once that I wouldn't tolerate this CRAP, but you did it again! Would you stop hitting the people I love!" He screamed as his eyes started to get moist.

Keitaro had gotten up by this point and looked towards Kensai. "Kensai, it's all right…" "NO KEITARO! It's NOT all right. You will no longer be taking a beating EVER AGAIN!" he said as he threw Naru to the ground. "One more time. One more time and you're out. I'm throwing you out of the Hinata House. I don't care what Keitaro, grandma, or Haruka says, I'll THROW you out myself." He finished as he walked out of the kitchen, Leaving a stunned audience behind.
