Chapter 5:Kendo-girl Keitaro?!? Part 2

------------Hinata-sou----------------

::December 21st, Sunday, 6:30 AM::

The wind blew across the front yard of the Hinata-sou. Two women stood in front of the building in stone-like silence. The snow was scattered by the wind blowing again.

"You think you can beat me?" Motoko asked, breaking the silence.

"Heh heh..." Keitaro said. He had been practicing all night and he had perfected one – only one – jutsu: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. (A/N: In case you haven't read Naruto, which you should, it is awesome, this is the Shadow Replication technique that makes a clone that is physically there, though with one hit it disappears) He could successfully create one and only one clone. But perhaps that might let Keitaro beat Motoko.

"I have a new secret," Keitaro whispered. "I can do it this time."

"Hmmph...we shall see," Motoko said. "Prepare yourself!" She lunged. CLACK! Keitaro blocked her sword. Motoko swung again, and again, and continued to swing. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! Darn it, all that training made me tired! I don't have enough time to use my oh so cool ninja power, Keitaro thought. "Haha! I shall beat you again!" Motoko said. "GOD'S CRY SCHOOL: ROCK SPLITTING TECHNIQUE!" She swung. The ki waves flew towards Keitaro.

"Auggh!" he cried, jumping away. WHOOOOSH! The waves narrowly missed Keitaro. Now! Keitaro thought. "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" he shouted, performing the correct seal.

"Eh? What is this trickery?" Motoko asked. POOF! Instantly a clone of Keitaro appeared. "EH? Two?! Where did that come from?!?!"

"HIYA!" both Keitaros shouted, swinging their swords. Darn it, how is this possible? Motoko asked herself. She barely was able to defend herself. How are there two opponents?

"Hup!!" she grunted, as she jumped away onto a tree. I need to collect my thoughts.

"Hey!" one of the Keitaros said.

"Come down!" the other said.

"That's cheating!" the first one accused.

"Fine, we'll force you down!" They began to shake and slash at the tree. SHAKE! SHAKE! SLAAAAASSSSSH!

"Woah!" Motoko yelped, and she fell out of the tree. PHOOF! The snow cushioned her fall, but when she looked up, the impossible was happening. Keitaro had his sword at her throat.

"Heh heh heh, Motoko," he said. "Do I win?" Motoko gritted her teeth. This was not going to end this way.

"Never!" she bellowed, rolling incredibly fast and slashing in the direction of Keitaro.

"Eh?" he said, as the ki wave hit him. POOF! It disappeared.

"A clone!" Motoko said, and she immediately turned around but there was no one. "Where is he?" Motoko said. It was very exciting; she had never fought someone with this type of powers.

"Yo! Motoko!" a voice called. "What's up?" It was Kitsune.

"Kitsune! What are you doing?" Motoko asked. Suddenly all of the Hinata-sou appeared.

"Where's Keitaro? Isn't she supposed to be training with you?" Kitsune asked.

"I don't know! I'm supposed to be fighting-eep!" Motoko cried, as someone grabbed onto her from behind.

"Do I win now?" Keitaro asked.

"NO!" she roared in fury, and threw him off her back.

"Woah!" he screamed as he went flying towards the people watching.

"Incoming!" Su yelled. But surprise surprise, Keitaro landed on his feet!

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" he screamed again.

"What is he jabbering about?" Naru said. POOF! POOF!

"Huh?" Keitaro and Motoko said. This time two appeared. "How did that happen?"

"CHARGE!" Keitaro yelled, deciding to go along with his extra clone.

"How are there three Keitaros?!!" Naru yelled. All three swung.

"HIYA!" they cried, and they swung. "Take this!" SHLIINGGGGG! They entered a lock. Three Keitaros pushed against Motoko.

"Waaaaah!" Su said. "So cool!♥"

"Go Sempai!!" Shinobu cried.

"Motoko's really strong! She's holding out against three Keitaros!" Naru said. "But can that idiot win?"

"ERRRRGH!" There was a shout and Motoko fell down.

"No!" she said, and rolled backwards and threw a dagger.

"Motoko! You're going to kill him!" Naru said.

"Sempai!" Shinobu called out.

"Eh?" Keitaro answered. The dagger struck! POOF!

"NO! It was a fake!" Motoko said, spinning around and searching for the other Keitaros. She sensed something behind her. "HIYA!" she roared with the voice of a woman trained from God's Cry School. POOF! The second Keitaro disappeared. CLANG! Without warning, Motoko's sword flew out of her hand and Keitaro pointed two swords at her throat.

"Heh heh heh," he giggled lightly. "Do I win now?" Motoko felt something she had not felt before. The stinging pain of defeat from an inferior person. She wanted to yell "Never! You shall never win!" but that would do no good.

"Yes," she breathed, and collapsed onto the snowy ground.

"Motoko-chan?" Keitaro asked worriedly. "Are you alright?"

-------------------Hinata-sou Living Room--------------------------

::After the battle, 7:30 AM::

Motoko was lying on the couch. Keitaro worriedly looked after her, feeling her forehead every so often to see if she had a fever.

"Here's the tea," Naru said, holding a tray. "Is she any better?"

"No, still no change," Keitaro said.

"Err...want to study?" Naru asked.

"Yeah, I'll be up as soon as she wakes up," Keitaro replied.

"Okay..." Naru said, and she went up to her room. Keitaro sighed. Perhaps using a ninja technique was too cheap, he thought.

"Urg...." Motoko moaned. She opened her eyes and sat up. "Where am I?"

"Just in the Hinata-sou," Keitaro answered.

"Urashima?" Motoko said, and she looked and saw Keitaro.

"Are you okay?" Keitaro asked. Concern was written upon his face.

"Yeah, I'm okay...err...but..." Motoko stammered.

"That's good, don't want Motoko-sensei hurt!"

"Urashima?" Motoko asked.

"Hmm?" Keitaro answered.

"How did you do...that..." she said.

"I used this book and learned it overnight! It was a lot of hard work," Keitaro said, and he handed Motoko The Way of the Ninja – The Many Forms of Jutsu.

"Eh?" Motoko said. "Ninja?"

"Yeah, I went to the bookstore and bought this thing, cause I thought it might help me...though I didn't want to win that badly...err..." Keitaro trailed off. "Motoko?" She looked up. "I, uh, hope you don't hate me..."

"Urashima, you have proven today to be a worthy opponent. Learning this in one night is a hard feat to do. In fact, I personally could not do it. If you have mastered it, then it is fair. Though..." Motoko paused.

"What?" Keitaro said.

"Can I borrow this?"

"Err...sure. If your okay, I need to go study in Narusegawa's room..." Keitaro said, getting up.

"Sure," Motoko said. Keitaro got up. "But..."

"Eh?"

"Tomorrow you won't win."

"I'll be looking forwards to it."

-------------------Narusegawa's Room-----------------------

::8:00 AM::

SLIDE! "I'm here!" Keitaro said.

"Hmm? Oh good," Naru commented, upon seeing Keitaro come in. "I answered this problem, but when I looked I got it wrong. I don't understand why and I want you to help me find out."

"WHA–?" Keitaro said, jaw dropping. Naru looked up.

"What are you so shocked about?"

"You...are...asking...me?" Keitaro said.

"Yes," Naru answered. Keitaro turned around and cried with joy. Finally I'm getting smarter and Naru is recognizing it! Keitaro thought.

"Are you going to help me?" Naru asked.

"Coming!♥" Keitaro said, gliding over on a cloud nine.

"It's this one," Naru said, and gave him the Todai test book.

"Ah!" Keitaro said, and started to do the problem. Naru is counting on me. I must get it right, he thought with resolve. He scribbled down his work. And scribbled. And scribbled. Naru leaned over to see what he was doing. "Aha!" he shouted.

"Did you get it?" Naru asked.

"Err...never mind," he said. GOOMPH! Naru fainted.

"Why were you so excited?!?!?!" she asked.

"Well...I thought I had got it, see?" Keitaro showed her.

"Wait, this might work, if we look at it from this way!"

"Really?"

"Let's try this."

-------------Hinata-sou Living Room---------------

To release the Chakra properly, you must perform the correct seals, which often correspond to certain types of Jutsu. For example, the "Tiger" seal is often associated with fire type jutsu. Motoko stopped reading.

"How did Urashima manage to learn even one Jutsu? And such a complicated one as Kage Bunshin no Jutsu?" Motoko asked herself. Upon being left alone, the first thing she did, naturally, was to study the enemy, meaning she read up on the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. The section upon that was still in her mind.

There is also the Jutsu called Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. It is a "better" version of Bunshin no Jutsu, the illusion jutsu that creates fake copies of yourself. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu creates actual clones that can hit and punch, though very weak. Usually one or two hits will cause the clone to disappear.

"This is very complicated. Let me see..." Motoko mused. She flipped to another section of the book that had interested her.

Using you chakra, you can physically alter your appearance. For example, you can transform into another person, or into a block of wood. This is very useful for camouflage. A more important application is, however, body switching. If you transform a piece of wood into a clone of you, then when they uselessly attack the piece of wood, you can get them from behind. Though this is more difficult, as it requires extreme speed so your opponent does not know that you have body switched.

Motoko mused for a while. How did Keitaro learn that? It must be from his studying discipline. If he wanted to learn something, he would learn it. It was slightly less bad than it could have been – at least a girl only beat him. But it's a girl that was Keitaro! Her mind instantly shot out. How is it possible? Her mind swirled. She shook her head violently to clear her thoughts. It didn't work. Keitaro is a man...only with a woman's body... Motoko focused deeply. Suddenly, she felt something on her shoulder. What was it?

"Myu!♥" Tama-chan exclaimed.

"Tur-tur-tur-turtle!" Motoko shouted.

"Tama-chan?" Keitaro called out from the hallway.

"Myu!♥" Tama said again.

"EEEEEEEEK!" Motoko squealed. "TURTLE!"

"Motoko, watch out!" Keitaro called out. Motoko had jumped away, but tripped on an end table.

"Waaaaaaah!" she cried. Keitaro caught her.

"Got you!" he said. Motoko looked into his face. Of course, it was really her face, but you could still manage to make out Keitaro. Urashima... Suddenly, she blushed.

"You shouldn't be saving your opponent!" she said suddenly, standing up.

"Eh? Come on, Motoko, that fighting thing is over now, heh heh," Keitaro laughed.

"Maybe for you, but I still have to vindicate honor," Motoko said.

"Myu!♥" Tama-chan squeaked again. Motoko stiffened.

"DIE!" she bellowed, and slashed her sword at Tama-chan.

"Myu! Myu! Myu!" Tama exclaimed in panic, flying away as fast as possible.

"Motoko! What are you doing to the poor turtle?!!!" Keitaro yelled in question.

"DIE DIE DIE!" she said again.

"Myu!!!!!" Tama said in alarm. WHOOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! The ki waves missed narrowly as Tama banked away.

"Motoko, calm down!" Keitaro said, and he grabbed onto her.

"COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID TURTLE!" Motoko yelled, trying to free herself.

"What's all the noise?" Naru asked, poking her head into the living room. "Err..." she sweat-dropped, when she saw the scene. "I thought all you were going to do was feed Tama-chan..." she said to no one in particular.

"RELEASE ME!" Motoko yelled.

"Calm down! Please!!!" Keitaro said, still holding on for all his might.

"Fine, you leave me no choice!" Motoko said. "DRILL ESCAPE OF DEATH!" she shouted, and spun around so quickly that she sent ki waves in a circle around her.

"AIEEEEEEEE!" Keitaro cried, flying through the wall to the outside.

"Myu!!!!!" Tama squeaked in panic.

"Heh heh..." Motoko laughed evilly, with the serious "you're dead" look in her eye. "Time to pay, turtle!!!!"

"Myu!!!!!" Tama replied in panic.

"DIE!" Motoko roared, with the aura of a dragon behind her. She slashed her sword.

"Myuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!" Tama squealed, turning into a hallway.

"WATCH OUT, TAMA-CHAN!!!" Naru shouted. The ki waves again narrowly missed Tama. WHOOOOOOOSH! BAAAM! The wall broke. There was dust everywhere. Suddenly, a voice cried out through the confusion.

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" POOF! POOF! Immediately, three bodies moved. One grabbed Tama-chan, while two others grabbed Motoko.

"Noooo!!!!" Motoko said. "I almost got him!"

"Run, Keitaro!" Naru said, and the Keitaro with Tama-chan ran. "Motoko, please calm down!" Naru said.

"I...will...get...the...turtle!" Motoko said through clenched teeth. The two Keitaros struggled when Naru arrived and grabbed her too.

"Whatcha guys doing?" Su asked, appearing. "Hmm?" She noticed everyone hanging on to Motoko. "Oooo! Oooo! I want to hug Motoko too!" She also grabbed on. The Keitaros backed away.

"We, we're not hugging her!" they yelled.

"Oooo...getting defensive, are we?" Su said.

"SU!" Naru yelled. "Stop it!" Motoko had gone "swirly eyed" and was twitching.

Tur-turle-turtle..." she stuttered.

"It's okay, Motoko-chan," Keitaro said. POOF! He released his clone.

"Cool!" Su exclaimed.

"Turtle..." Motoko fainted.

----------------Hinata-sou Living Room----------------

::12:00 PM::

Black. Everything was black. Where am I? The darkness still continued to stubbornly persist. Wha-? Why am I here? Is it night? The last thing I remember...is Tama-chan. Okay, that's over now, but where am I? Light slowly filtered through into the world. Oh, my eyes were closed. She opened them.

"Ack!" she muttered, and closed them. That was really bright. She slowly opened them. Suddenly Keitaro's face appeared. Hmm? He looks really worried...

"Are you alright, Motoko-chan?" he asked.

"Uh..." Motoko groaned, and turned away. Great, she hates me, Keitaro thought.

"Uh...Urashima?" Motoko asked suddenly.

"Eh?" Keitaro answered.

"Thank you for taking care of me." Yes! She doesn't hate me after all!

"Of course, anything for a friend!" Keitaro said. Motoko looked around. She was in Naru's room, and Mutsumi, Naru and Keitaro were all studying.

"How do I do this question?" Naru asked herself, fooling around with her pencil.

"Like this," Keitaro said.

"Ara, Keitaro-kun, that's a different question," Mutsumi pointed out.

"Oops! Heheh!" Keitaro laughed.

"You're such an idiot," Naru said.

"Hey! I'm not that dumb!!!"

"But didn't you have an average of 49?" Naru asked.

"That was last year!"

"Idiot!"

"Violent woman!"

"Why you!" BAAAAAAM!!!!

"Aiiieeeeeeeeeeee!!!!" Keitaro shouted.

"Err...Naru...didn't you just prove his point?" Motoko asked while sweat dropping.

"Well...hmmph!" Naru said, refusing to answer.

"Err...I'm going to my room..." Motoko said.

"Oh sure, just don't go crazy again."

"Mi!!" Mutsumi looked up.

"Hello, Tama-chan!" Mutsumi greeted. "Come join us at this heated table!" Naru fainted.

"D-don't worry, Motoko!" she said quickly.

"I am okay," Motoko replied and walked to her room.

"Phew!"

"Oh, she nearly killed you, huh?" Mutsumi asked Tama.

"Mutsumi, why can you talk to Tama-chan?"

"Hmm?" Naru sighed.

"Never mind."

-----------Motoko's Room------------

Motoko sat in front of the samurai armor. It looked imposing, sitting in a stony silence. Motoko meditated on past things. She remembered her initial confusion with Urashima. He's a she. Or maybe she a he. He has been more girly. But maybe the girl has gotten manlier? Jeez, this is so confusing! Motoko breathed in and held it. Often, thinking without air cleared her thoughts. Urashima...is now a woman. He was turned that way by a genie. A genie? Motoko released her breath and breathed in again. He is almost just like another one of us. Odd, idiotic, clumsy, and if he wasn't a guy, he wouldn't be perverted. Maybe we should just adapt and all call him a girl. It makes sense. He will not be able to turn back. He should get used to it. If he ever moves on in life, then everyone else will not know he is a guy. Motoko repeated her breathing cycle. And he has been easier on the eyes as a woman. At least I don't have to worry about a man peeping every day, or about a man showing me perverted things. He even threw away all his "adult" magazines, because after being a woman for a while, he found them disgusting. Motoko breathed again, closing her eyes. Maybe he is actually starting to understand women. If he was a guy, he might be a good find. Her eyes shot open and she breathed heavily. What just happened? Was it...had she...just admitted that she liked Urashima? No no no! I was merely thinking that from the viewpoint of others, possibly. But that stuck in her mind. She had thought of Urashima as good "boyfriend/husband" material. Motoko thought about his physical changes. He obviously changed in the ways of physical to be in a girl...and "that" area. Of course she had not personally seen anything, but the chest area was enough to convince her. He also had grown out his hair, like a girl.

------------Hinata-sou------------

::Some time in the last month::

"Sempai! Breakfast is ready!" Shinobu called out.

"Ah, coming coming," Keitaro said, and he entered the kitchen. Most people were already there.

"Hey, you're so slow today!" Su said. "I want to eat!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Keitaro laughed.

"Itadakimasu!" they all said. Keitaro bent down to eat. His hair got in his face.

"Man, this is really annoying," Keitaro said, after several attempts to eat without eating his hair.

"Hmm?" Shinobu said. "Is something wrong, Sempai?"

"Oh...well...heh heh, I was just saying that this hair is getting in my way."

"Well, it is long," Naru said. "Why don't you tie it up?"

"How would I know how to do that?!!" Keitaro said.

"Well then ask someone, idiot!" Naru said.

"Fine, will you help me, Narusegawa?"

"No!"

"Did you just say ask someone?" Keitaro complained.

"Ask someone else!" Naru replied, and she continued eating.

"Motoko, how do you tie your hair up?" Keitaro asked.

"Eh?! Why would you ask me?" Motoko said, surprised.

"Well, you are a girl...and everyone else has short hair..." Keitaro stuttered.

"That doesn't mean I don't know how to tie hair up!" Kitsune shouted.

"Sorry!"

"Idiot!" Naru repeated.

"Ah...you'd better ask someone else," Motoko said.

"Why? You have nice hair," Keitaro pointed out.

"Yeah, but I don't tie it up!" Motoko said. "See?!" she shouted, holding up her hair.

"Heh heh, you're right of course," Keitaro laughed nervously again.

"What about me?" Su said.

"Well, you're a child...so..." Keitaro started.

"So what?" Su asked, jumping on him.

"Ahh! Su get off!" Keitaro cried.

"Tell me!" Su demanded.

"Mercy!" Keitaro begged, choking.

"Tell me!"

"I just wanted to ask someone more experienced! Aaaaaack!" he said, as Su kicked him in the face.

"Sempai!" Shinobu cried out in alarm.

"Haha...I'm okay," Keitaro said. They all continued eating. Motoko observed Keitaro's continued difficulty with eating.

"Urashima, you can just cut your hair," Motoko said.

"Hmm? Oh, no, you see, I have to have it long," Keitaro said.

"Why?"

"Oh, cause I've decided the genie was making some sense, to understand someone, you have to be it. So I have to be as girl like as possible. Otherwise my experience would be wasted." He talks like he's going to turn back tomorrow, Motoko thought.

"Girls do have short hair," Motoko told him, pointing to Shinobu and Kitsune. "They aren't any less a girl."

"Ah, well...true. Haha! Well, of course from a smart person like you, Motoko," Keitaro said. Motoko blushed.

"Motoko! You're all red! Are you okay?" Naru asked.

"Oh no, was it the food?!" Shinobu said worriedly.

"Ah...no...don't look at me!" Motoko said, and she left the kitchen.

-----------Motoko's Room-----------

::Present Time::

Actually, Motoko thought, now that I think about it, as anything goes, Keitaro is a girl. He will not change back. I should be using the correct articles and stop calling him a pervert, I guess. But at least she can fight. Fight! That's right! I have to crush him...I mean, her. Where is that book? Motoko got up and searched around her room.

"Aha!" she said, spying it by the doorway. "Urashima must have brought it here." She opened the page to the Jutsu she had decided she wanted to learn.

Kawarimi no jutsu is a basic jutsu but often a very effective one if you can catch your opponent unawares. It turns an object, often a log, into a copy of your body. When your opponent attacks the fake object, you can then attack your enemy in surprise.

Motoko examined the seals. She practiced them slowly at first. "Kawarimi no jutsu!" she said, moving very quickly aside. She was somewhere else, but a clone of her body was still there. She did it again. "Kawarimi no jutsu!" There was no clone this time. She tried again. And again. And again.

"Kawarimi no jutsu! Kawarimi no jutsu! Kawarimi no jutsu!" she yelled.

-----------Naru's Room------------

::4:00 PM::

"That's it, I'm dead!" Naru said, lying on the ground. "I just can't go on!"

"Ara, maybe we should take a break in the hot springs?" Mutsumi asked. "It would warm us all up!"

"That sounds like an excellent idea, Mutsumi-chan!" Naru said. "We should!"

"What about me?!" Keitaro asked.

"Why, you can come too!♥" Mutsumi said, clapping her hands together.

"Mutsumi-chan! He can't!" Naru said.

"Why not?" a voice came from the doorway.

"Eh?" Naru said, followed by Keitaro.

"EH?!?!" Keitaro said, when he saw it was Motoko.

"Motoko?! You are the one who most against these types of things!" Naru said. "How can we let this, this pervert see us?!"

"Well, I've been thinking..." Motoko started, but trailed off.

"Thinking what?" Naru asked.

"That...well...it's not like Keitaro's going to become a man anytime soon, if at all."

"Don't say that!!!" Keitaro said, though no one heard him.

"And he's basically a girl...he even thinks like one by now...so...he should enjoy all the rights of being a girl," Motoko finished not quite sure of what she had just said.

"What?!?!!!" Naru demanded.

"Oh me oh my, that's exactly what I thought!!♥" Mutsumi said. "Motoko-chan, you're always so brilliant!"

"Err...thanks..." Motoko said quietly.

"Well, if you think that then you should take a bath with us, then," Naru said loftily, thinking If this doesn't get her to snap out of it and call Keitaro a man, then nothing will.

"Uh...okay..." Motoko said. BAAAM!! Naru's jaw hit the floor.

"But-but-but..." Naru stuttered. She was supposed to say no!

"Let's go!♥" Mutsumi said, leading Keitaro out by the hand who was drooling and not quite knowing what was happening.

--------------Hinata-sou Outdoor Open Air Bath-----------------

::4:15 PM::

What is happening? Everyone is taking a bath, with no bathing suits! Auggh! I get dizzy just thinking about it! Keitaro thought. Everyone had truly joined in. Upon hearing that Keitaro was being let in, Kitsune demanded to come also.

"If this is happening, I have to be in on it!" she had said. Su naturally joined in followed timidly by Shinobu. Au! Sempai is bathing with everyone because he's girl, so I guess it's okay...

Keitaro got swirly-eyed and almost fainted again.

"Are you coming, Keitaro-kun?♥" Mutsumi asked.

"Ah...ah...?" Keitaro stuttered. I don't want to...and yet...

"Come!♥" Mutsumi said, and she threw him in. He also was naked too...his first time really in front on anyone. And this time it was not just anyone, but five girls. But I'm a girl too! I must get used to it! He thought determined.

"Yay! It's Keitaro!" Su said, bouncing around and hanging onto him.

"Ahhh! Su, get off!" Keitaro whined, blushing a deep red, which stayed on him for a while. Su's skin was touching his and he was feeling quite embarrassed.

"Su, don't go too far at once!" Naru demanded. Everyone was quiet, and everyone was red. I guess this really confirms that he is a woman, Motoko thought, which is what Naru was thinking. Ugg...I can't believe I'm doing this... Naru thought. She was resisting the urge to lash out and punch him.

"Keitaro..." Su said. "Let me wash your back!"

"Wha-?" Keitaro said. "No! I can, uh, wash it myself."

"C'mon! I want to have fun!" Su said, coming closer. Keitaro back away.

"It's okay, really!" he said nervously.

"Gotcha!" Su cried, as she jumped onto him again. Keitaro looked around for help, but all the other girls were meekly standing there, blushing, except for Mutsumi who was washing herself. Even Kitsune was red. I thought I would be okay with this... Kitsune thought. But I guess he's still a man to me. No matter what body, is it still Keitaro? Do we like the personality or the man Keitaro?

"Waaaaaaah!" Keitaro cried. "Help! Su, I can't see!" Su was hanging on his back, putting a towel over his face, and rubbing his back clean.

"I'll help you scrub till you're super clean!♥ Hee hee!" Su giggled.

"Eeeeeeek!" Keitaro shrieked. "Someone, anyone, help me!"

"Never, you are caught in my grasp!" Su said. Keitaro ran around blindly, trying to shake Su off who was giggling madly too herself.

"Ah!" he cried, tripping. He fell onto Mutsumi.

"Ara?" she said, before going underwater.

"Eh?" Su said, pausing from her onslaught.

"Mutsumi-chan!" Keitaro cried, but he fell underwater too.

"Blub blub blub!" Keitaro said.

"Su! Get off!" Motoko said, grabbing Su off.

"Hot hot hot!!!" Keitaro shouted, once Su was off and jumping out. He danced around. "Hot!!"

"Haha, Kei-kun is so funny!" Mutsumi said, fine even though she was the first one to fall. Naru and Motoko sweat-dropped. BAAAM! Keitaro had hit the wall and fell unconscious.

"Err..." the girls said, peering at the unconscious manager.

-------------Hinata-sou Living Room----------

::7:00 PM after Dinner::

"Okay, officially that was a failure," Naru said.

"Yes, I agree," Kitsune said.

"It is true," Motoko acceded.

"Keitaro?" Naru asked. "What do you think?" Keitaro looked away. He was too embarrassed now to talk very much to any of them, and blushed very often. He remained silent and turned away from Narusegawa.

"C'mon, you've been silent since dinner!" Naru shouted.

"Au! Are you okay, Sempai?!" Shinobu cried out. Keitaro was thinking hard. That genie said the only to understand woman was to become one. So I've been trying to, but this must prove I'm a total failure, he thought. He sighed in despair.

"Cheer up! We're not going to kill you!" Naru said. "After all, we agreed to it too!"

"Urashima, you must be calm and alert. I shall challenge you tonight," Motoko said.

"What are you talking about?!!" Naru asked loudly.

"Otherwise...you will lose," Motoko said.

"Motoko, don't spout such nonsense!" Naru said. Keitaro thought, I want to think about something else right now...

"We shall begin now!" Motoko suddenly roared, and she whipped out her sword.

"GOOD!" Keitaro suddenly bellowed, surprising Naru. He whipped out a sword also ("Err...where did Sempai get a sword?" Shinobu asked). CLACK! Their swords hit each other.

"Outside! Go outside!" Naru said, waving her hands. "Out out!" BAAAM! "Ack!" Naru said, barely dodging away. Keitaro and Motoko parried and lunged and defended across the room. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Keitaro yelled. POOF! One Keitaro appeared. They both swung. CLACK CLACK! Motoko parried both but was backed against the wall.

"Trapped now, eh?" Keitaro said.

"Kawarimi no jutsu!" Motoko yelled. Both Keitaros swung. BAM! BAM! Both attacks connected. Motoko went flying outside from the blow. POOF! Suddenly she turned into a couch.

"Eh?" Keitaro said. BAM! POOF! The clone Keitaro disappeared as Motoko suddenly appeared behind him.

"Waaah! Motoko's so cool!" Su said.

"Awesome!" Kitsune said. "This is better than watching horse races!" Kitsune said. "200 yen on Keitaro!"

"Idiot, of course Motoko will win, now that she knows Keitaro's trick," Naru said.

"What, doubting my superior gambling skills and good luck?" Kitsune said. What good luck? Naru thought.

"Fine! Whatever," Naru said.

"Fine, then you're on!" Kitsune said. "500 yen on Keitaro!"

"Go Motoko!" Su chanted.

"Go Kei-kuuun!" Mutsumi called out. BLING! The real Keitaro had barely managed to block Motoko.

"Pretty cool, Motoko!" Keitaro said. "But I'm going to lose anyways, you don't have to be so harsh on an amateur!" Motoko lunged.

"You...are...no...amateur...with that jutsu you use," Motoko said through clenched teeth. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!

"Well...maybe..." Keitaro admitted. Though he knew he really could not beat Motoko.

"Go Sempai!" Shinobu cheered.

"Huh!" Keitaro grunted, pushing Motoko away. He made the correct seals then shouted "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!" POOOOOOOOOOOF! Dust appeared in a monstrous cloud, and when it cleared, there was not only one clone, but about 50 clones.

"Wha...wha...Keitaro?" Naru stuttered.

"Haha, I should bet 1000 yen on Keitaro!" Kitsune said.

"Waaah! Sempai is so good," Shinobu cried.

"Cool move, Keitaro," Su said.

"Ready, Motoko-chan? Heh heh," all the Keitaros said. They all attacked.

"Ultimate form of God's Cry School Technique: THOUSAND WAVES OF POWER!" Motoko suddenly roared with an intensity never seen before by any of the residents. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!! KABOOM! BOOOOOM! Three huge explosions rocked the front courtyard. Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Every single Keitaro disappeared.

"Eh? Where's the real one?" Motoko muttered.

"Heh heh, Motoko-chan," a voice came from behind her.

"INSTANT DEMONIC SLAYER SLASH COUNTER!" Motoko yelled, and spinning around she swung and finally connected with Keitaro. BOOCK! BAAAM! Keitaro was hit and he flew back and hit the Hinata-sou. Motoko breathed heavily.

"Heh..." Keitaro said on the ground. "You win," he panted, giving her a thumbs up.
