Chapter 10: I Love You Sempai

Two days later, everyone had done their best to forget what they had heard and to get back to their daily lives. An alarm went off as Kensai looked up at the ceiling. "Well, well…" Kensai said as he turned to look at his calendar. "It looks like today's the day Keitaro and Shinobu go to the amusement park. I better get ready." He said out loud smiling. "Oh wait, Mitsune had to leave to go to town today. Well then, I guess it's up to me then!" Kensai said determined.

Getting changed he walked downstairs. "Good morning!" He said to the residents of the kitchen cheerfully. "Good morning!" Shinobu smiled at Kensai as she turned from the stove. Motoko, who was being helped by Shinobu turned around too. "Oh, good morning husband!" However, Kensai seemed to unknowingly ignore her as his mind was on other things. "You remember what today is, right Shinobu?" Kensai smiled. "Of course!" She said happily back. "I take it you're all set?" Kensai asked her slyly. "Uhuh" she blushed deeply. "Well, when are you guys leaving?" He inquired interested. "In about an hour." She said flipping a pancake still blushing. "Awesome." He said happily. "I'll be right back. I'm going to check on Keitaro." Kensai said grabbing a cup of coffee as he walked back out.

Arriving at his brother's room, Kensai knocked on the door. After a few knocks, the door opened. "Oh, hey Kensai." Keitaro said stressed. "Come on in." He said as he walked back inside a toothbrush shaking in his hand. After walking in, Kensai said in one of Keitaro's chairs. "So, are you ready for today?" He asked bluntly. However, Keitaro looked like a nervous wreck, like he hadn't slept all night. "um, I guess." He said nervously. "What do you mean "I guess?" Come on Keitaro, This should be a fun time for you guys." He said happily. "Yeah, you're right." Keitaro smiled. "as usual." "Of course I am." Kensai said to this smiling deviously. "So go get ready!" He finished excitedly as he pushed Keitaro in the general direction of his closet. "You have a fun time you guys!" Kensai smiled as he left the room, closing the door behind him. Stopping in the hall he said out loud but mainly to himself, "Ok then, I guess following them a little couldn't hurt." Kensai finished as he smiled happily as he skipped back to his room.

About an hour later, Keitaro and Shinobu said their goodbyes as they left the house looking very nice. Walking to the bottom of the hill, they waited at the bus stop. Little did they know, a figure was already hiding in the bushes. "Keitaro, you're going to have Shinobu confess to you today, or my name isn't Kensai." He said smirking. When the bus came, Kensai, donning his trench coat and glasses, stepped onto the bus after Keitaro and Shinobu, sitting far away from them seemingly preoccupied, so they didn't notice him.

The bus ride only took a few minutes as eventually, it finally rolled in front of the amusement park. Stepping out of the bus, Keitaro and Shinobu walked towards the entrance. Waiting for them to move, Kensai got out of the bus and hid behind them, slowly getting closer to the entrance. Looking over, he saw Keitaro and Shinobu who were handing in their tickets as the entered.

"What do you want to do first Sempai?" Shinobu asked happily. Keitaro blushed slightly. "Anything you want to." He said smiling back as Shinobu looked around. "Oh, I know! Let's play a game!" She pointed at a stand where you had to knock down some bottles with a ball. "oooh….KAWAII!" Shinobu's eyes sparkled as she looked at one of the prizes, which was a cute little teddy bear. "You want me to win that for you?" Keitaro asked, a bit nervous. He then looked at a hopeful Shinobu. "Umm…ok though!" He smiled. Paying the man, he took 3 balls. He threw one, horribly missing. The second one was a little bit off. "ARGH! I can't get into Tokyo U, I can't protect myself, can I AT LEAST HIT THESE BOTTLES!" Keitaro thought angrily to himself as he prepared the last ball. "Come on you stupid…." He reared back, got ready to throw, and "BUMPF!" Keitaro felt a hand push him forward. Nearly tripping, he released the ball. After regaining his composure, Keitaro heard a "CLUNK!" Looking forward, he saw that all of the bottles had fallen over. "A WINNER!" the man at the booth said happily as he handed Keitaro the bear. Handing it to Shinobu, her face lit up. "THANK YOU SO MUCH SEMPAI!" She said joyfully. Looking around, Keitaro tried to see who had pushed him but saw no one. "Huh.." he thought. Shaking out of it, he turned back to Shinobu as he finally replied, "Think nothing of it!" he smiled happily

Sneaking back behind a bush, Kensai smirked. "Awesome." He said coyly to himself as he heard Keitaro say "Let's go on the Ferris wheel." "Guess that's where I'm going next." Kensai said out loud to himself as he got up and slowly headed over to the Ferris wheel while keeping out of sight. Sitting behind another bush, Kensai reached over to his bag. "Sempai," Shinobu called, waving Keitaro over to the entrance of the Ferris Wheel. Luckily there was no one else waiting on line, as they were momentarily seated inside one of the containers. Moving skyward, the Ferris Wheel stopped, putting Keitaro and Shinobu at the top.

Kensai though, who was keeping his eyes on where Keitaro and Shinobu were, felt around in his bag for something but couldn't seem to find what he was looking for. Moving his hand around, he finally felt the binoculars. "Here you go." A voice said. "Oh, thanks." Kensai responded taking the binoculars without turning around. "Now what are Keitaro and Shinobu….." But Kensai cut his out loud thought as something hit him. "Wait a sec…who handed me the binoculars?" Looking behind him, he turned to see Motoko in street clothes standing next to him. "BWAH! MOTOKO!" Kensai said surprised. "What are you doing here?" he asked confused. Motoko smirked a bit. "I should be asking you the same thing." Kensai coughed embarrassed into his hand "Well, I'm here to make sure that everything goes ok with Keitaro and Shinobu." "Kensai, I think too much of Mitsune is rubbing off on you." She said a bit worried. "I'm just doing this because I care about Keitaro!" he said turning to her. "I won't be there to protect him forever, he needs to do things on his own, but, if I help him on the right path to live with somebody who loves him, I think he'll be ok. I could never forgive myself if someone like Naru got her greedy claws on him. I just want to make sure he'll have a good life. I don't want to see anyone else hurt." He finished, his eyes starting to shimmer.

Motoko's expression turned from that of a stern and accusing, to understanding and happy. Placing a hand on Kensai's shoulder, Motoko said gently, "Let's get those two together." Looking up, Kensai smiled. "Thanks Motoko, you're a good friend." A solemn smile appeared on Motoko's face as she looked down. "That's right, I'm just a friend, nothing else." She said solemnly to herself. Looking back up she forced a smile. "Come on Kensai." She said getting up.

After the two got off the Ferris wheel, they headed over to the haunted house. "The haunted house, eh?" Kensai thought for a minute. "That gives me an idea. Come on Motoko!" he said as he grabbed her arm, rushing towards the haunted house. But, when they got close, they slowed down, and they began sneaking towards the back where the employee entrance was. Looking back and forth, Kensai and Motoko sneaked in and walked to the costume room. "Come on." Kensai whispered as he grabbed a mask, and used the back entrance to the customer area.

"Um…Sempai? I don't know about this…" Shinobu said nervously clutching Keitaro's shirt. "Wait! I can't get scared now!" Shinobu thought to herself. "This is my time to show Keitaro-Sempai I can be more adult-like an brave!" Shinobu finished, letting Keitaro's shirt loose. Slowly they walked in, Shinobu gathering her courage.

Meanwhile, Kensai was climbing onto a rafter, as he positioned himself so he was sitting on in, with him costume on. "ok, here they come.." he said, seeing the two. "3…2…1…" Kensai thought to himself. As he said "1", he flipped upside down so he was 6 inches from Shinobu and Keitaro's faces. "BWAH!" he said scarily. Shinobu's hair stood on end as she screamed in a high pitch and clamped onto Keitaro. "My job's done here." Kensai smiled as he saw this and, after flipping back up, waited until they left, and then slowly and silently made it out the employee exit door.

However, Shinobu realized she was holding onto Keitaro. "OH! I'm so sorry Sempai!" she said blushing deeply as she let go. "It's ok." Keitaro smiled happily as he put his hand on her head.

Over the next few hours everything seemed to go right as Kensai planned. They somehow always ended up sitting next to each other on rides and they always seemed to just make right before the cutoff on a line for a ride. Finally, it was about dinnertime, Kensai and Motoko collapsed with exhaustion, their backs to each other. "Geez, following these two around all day is hard work." Kensai said to Motoko exhausted. Motoko was still out of breath however, "You didn't have to fix the bumper car ride." She said, showing off a bruise. "Yeah, sorry about that." Kensai sweat dropped.

At this point, Keitaro had taken Shinobu over to a food stand as Shinobu was busy thinking to herself. "It's been all day, and still haven't told Sempai how I feel." She thought a bit dejected. However, a spark went off in her mind. "Ok, Shinobu, here's your chance…" she thought as she opened her mouth to say something when Keitaro put a hot dog in front of her face. "Here you go." Keitaro smiled as he handed it to her. Seeing her mouth open, he said a bit embarrassed, "oh, I'm sorry, were you about to say something?" Shinobu just smiled back. "No, it's nothing." She said out loud. "What am I thinking?" Shinobu then thought to herself taking a bite of the hot dog. "Why would Sempai ever want me when he can have Mutsumi or Naru-Sempai?" she said depressed. "I mean, they're so much prettier, older, and their bodies are amazing." She said, putting her head down onto what she thought to be her immature body.

By this time the sun had already set. Then an announcement came over the intercom. "Our last event of the day, the fireworks display will begin in five minutes." The voice said festively. "Ooh! Fireworks!" Shinobu said, breaking her out of her mood as she pulled Keitaro's hand. Looking around for a bit, they finally managed to find a rather unoccupied hill. Keitaro and Shinobu stood as they waited for the fireworks. "Wow, I bet this fireworks will be really pretty." She said in anticipation.

"Shinobu." Keitaro said very tense. "Yes Sempai?" Shinobu turned to him happily. "Shinobu, there's something I've been meaning to tell you." He said looking very nervous. "What is it Sempai?" she asked, confused, seeing his expression like he was in pain. "Shinobu, you remember when I first arrived at Hinata house?" he asked her bluntly. "of course I do." She said smiling reminiscently. "Even when I first came into that hot spring and you all thought I was some kind of pervert, you still have never hit me once. No matter what I've done, no matter how many times I've screwed up, you've done nothing but be there for me." He said looking down embarrassed. "Shinobu, what I'm trying to say is that, for the past year I've lived in Hinata house, I've had these feelings but I didn't want to say anything. I tried to fool myself into liking Naru so that I'd be reaching an unattainable goal so as to not think about my true feelings, but I can't do it anymore. Shinobu, I've wanted to tell you this for so long, but I was too afraid of what you'd say. Shinobu…I……I love you." Keitaro said as his eyes began to shimmer. Tears started to well up in Shinobu's eyes and finally, they began to fall down her cheeks. "I know you probably don't feel the same way, but I felt I should just tell you to get it off my chest. I understand if you don't…." However, Shinobu rushed over and hugged Keitaro in a big embrace as she said, looking up at him, "Of course I do! I've loved you for so long, but I never had the courage to tell you." She said through streams of tears. "I love you sempai." She finished as she looked up at Keitaro with still teary eyes. Tilting her head up with his finger, he put his face close to hers, getting closer and closer, until their soft lips met in the sweet embrace of a kiss. The fireworks began to go off in the distance, while in the foreground, two soul mates who had just confessed their love for each other stayed in the loving embrace of one another's arms, for a long, long time.
