Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina, any of its characters, or any thing Love Hina-ish. Ken Akamatsu does. So thank him for creating this awesome manga series.

A/N: Alright…I'll say it now…this might be offensive to some of the female or perhaps even male readers out there, but I hope not. It's just about a guy dealing with Periods and PMS! Kudos to my sister for helping me to know what it is and what is offensive (Yeah, I'll admit it, I'm a guy. Don't kill me!). If you're afraid to read it…then you can skip this chapter, I guess. At the author's note at the end I'll tell you all the important stuff that happened, but this is the reason why it's rated PG-13 (I really wanted to rate it PG, but I feared things like this might cause complaint and someone would take down my story.) Please R&R!

Chapter 7: Christmas, Exam Scores, and PMS?? Part 1

----------------Keitaro's Room-----------------

::December 22nd, Monday, 7:00 AM::

A bird tweeted a lonely melody, like it had no friends, nor any reason to be here. The sun was rising ever so slowly, crawling above the horizon, and Urashima Keitaro was waking up slowly. No matter what brave front he had put on last night, he was sore. Ow…can't even sit up with out feeling sore, he thought. Sore was what he felt, and sore was his body. Especially his chest. Heh heh, I guess Motoko knows what she's doing when she tells me to bind myself. It hurts even more now! But he sat up anyways.

"Ouch!" he groaned. He got up and changed.

"Myuh!" Tama-chan said.

"Tama, leave. Get out of my room!" Keitaro suddenly yelled.

"Myuh??" Tama in confusion.

"I'm just too sore to deal with you now," Keitaro said. He looked at the alarm clock. "Wha-? It's already seven? I have school!" he shouted, and quickly dressed (in woman's clothes; he was used to it by now, but still, Narusegawa came in every night to choose his clothes otherwise he a walking fashion Godzilla). He ran to the kitchen.

"Eh?" he said. Only Shinobu was there, cooking.

"Oh, hi, Sempai!" Shinobu said.

"What?" Keitaro said. "Where is everybody?"

"Oh, probably sleeping," Shinobu said.

"Wha-? Anyways, do you have breakfast ready, I need to go to school," Keitaro said.

"Hmm? Oh, it'll be ready in a sec," Shinobu said.

"Ah…okay," Keitaro said, and he sat down. He tapped his foot impatiently while Shinobu cooked.

"GOOD MORNING KEITARO!!!!!" Su shouted, and kicked him in the face. KEEECK! BAAAAAM!!!

"Aieeee!" Keitaro shouted, being flung against Shinobu.

"Ah!" she cried. Keitaro felt a sword on his throat.

"Just because you can beat me doesn't mean all of a suddenly you can do what you want!!!" Motoko said.

"It wasn't my fault!" Keitaro said.

"Hello peoples!" Naru said, refreshed-looking.

"And why do you always get to beat me?!" Keitaro continued to shout. "Just because an accident happens, you always explode!"

"Uh…" Naru said.

"AND YOU!" Keitaro shouted, upon seeing Naru.

"Eh? Me?" Naru said.

"NO! SU!" Keitaro yelled.

"Hmmphf?!" Su said, looking up with food in her mouth.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS KICK ME?!!!!??" Keitaro shouted. Su swallowed.

"Cause its fun!"

"IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME!!!!" Keitaro yelled.

"Why are you so angry now?" Naru asked.

"SHUT UP!" Keitaro roared. Woah, she's lost it! Motoko thought. I must knock sense back into her!

"ROCK SPLITTING –" Motoko started.

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Keitaro yelled. POOF! A Keitaro appeared and held Motoko back.

"Eh?" Motoko said. "Wha-?"

"LET ME FINISH MY RANT!!" Keitaro yelled. Kitsune walked in.

"What's with all the noise? You woke me up from my hangover," Kitsune said.

"THEN STOP DRINKING AND SHUT UP!" Keitaro yelled. He was seriously going bonkers over the littlest thing.

"Eh?" Kitsune said in shock.

"ARRGGGH!" Keitaro yelled again, and he passed out.

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

::8:00 AM::

"Urrgh…" Keitaro groaned, waking up. "What happened?"

"You went crazy angry for some reason," Naru said. "Are you okay now?"

"Uh…" Keitaro said. Shinobu was hiding behind Motoko. Au! He was so angry…so much angrier than I've ever seen! So scary! Shinobu thought.

"Angry? That's right, I woke up and felt very angry for some reason," Keitaro mused.

"How can you wake up angry?!?" Naru asked.

"Sorry, jeez!" Keitaro retorted.

"You such an idiot!"

"At least I'm not violent!!!" Keitaro shot back.

"Yeah, right, Mr. I have an average of 50," Naru said.

"Why you-!" Keitaro said.

"STOP IT!" Kitsune bellowed.

"Why?" Naru said. "He's just being dumb!"

"WILL YOU STOP IT WITH THE DUMB LABEL?!!!" Keitaro shouted.

"Arrrgh!" Naru said, clenching her fist in rage and raising it.

"Au! Please stop, Narusegawa-sempai and Sempai!" Shinobu suddenly begged.

"Eh?" Keitaro and Naru said. Shinobu's cute face begged them to stop. Keitaro sighed. "Sorry, it just seems today that I'm really angry all of a sudden."

"AHA!" Kitsune shouted.

"Eh?!!!" Keitaro said, surprised.

"I've go it!" Kitsune said.

"What? What?!" Keitaro said. "Tell me already, darn it!"

"Calm down, it just makes sense why Keitaro's always so angry!"

"WHY?!" Naru shouted.

"Ugh, do you have it too?"

"What?!!!" Keitaro asked.

"Heh," Kitsune said, wagging her finger in front of Keitaro's face. "It's PMS!"

"Eh?" Naru sweat-dropped.

"You seem to have it too, Naru," Kitsune said.

"DO NOT!" Naru denied loudly.

"What is, ah, this PMS thing?" Keitaro asked. Kitsune sweat-dropped.

"You really don't know?" Kitsune asked.

"Well…I sort of know you should stay away from people who have it…actually, as a guy I'd joke about that type of stuff…"

"And you still don't know what it is?"

"…No…" Kitsune sighed. Is he a complete idiot? She asked herself.

"Complete idiot," Naru said.

"Why must I always be the idiot? You're wrong sometimes too!" Keitaro said.

"When?" Naru demanded.

"Alright you two, stop arguing like teenage girls!" Kitsune screamed.

"Uh…" Keitaro sweat-dropped, "Aren't we basically teenage girls?"

"Ah…stupid!" Naru said. "How old are you now?! Twenty! Is that a teenager?!"

"Will you just lay off each other?!" Kitsune asked.

"Yeah, it's kind of annoying," Haruka said, entering.

"Haruka-san!" Naru exclaimed.

"Aunt Haruka!" Keitaro exclaimed also. SLAP!!

"Jeez, even though you're a girl, you still have to call me Haruka-san!" Haruka said. "Can't you ever remember?"

"Sorry, sorry," Keitaro laughed. "Why do you insist on being called Haruka-san anyways? It's not like you're not my aunt."

"Jeez, you're a girl and you still don't know," Haruka said.

"Just because I am a girl, it doesn't mean that I am omniscient!" Keitaro said.

"Ain't that obvious!" Naru said.

"There you go with the dumb thing again!" Keitaro shouted.

"All right, enough already!" Haruka said. "Jeez, you'd think one would get tired of this day after day. After day. And again, after day. And then perhaps–"

"Okay, I get it!" Keitaro said.

"Good," Haruka said.

"Jeez," Keitaro muttered.

"What was that?" Haruka asked.

"Oh, never mind him," Kitsune said.

"Eh? Why?"

"Keitaro's been acting very weird today," Kitsune said. "And we figured out why."

"Weird? Why is he weird?" Haruka asked.

"He has PMS," Kitsune replied. Haruka burst out laughing and her cigarette fell out of her mouth.

"What is so funny?" Keitaro asked, glaring.

"Pff!" Haruka continued to laugh. "P…M…S…HAHA!"

"WHAT IS SO DARN FUNNY?!!" Keitaro shouted. Au!! Sempai is so…different! Shinobu thought worriedly.

"Eh?" Haruka said, finally stopping her laugh. "Keitaro, you need to deal with this PMS thing. You're scaring Shinobu," Haruka commented.

"Eh? Oh, I'm sorry Shinobu!" Keitaro said, quickly grabbing her hand and bowing his head. "Can you forgive me?" So polite! Shinobu thought.

"O-of course!" Shinobu replied.

"Thank you!" Keitaro said, hugging her. Au! Sempai's hugging me!!!!

"You…" Naru growled.

"Ah, let him be," Kitsune said in Naru's ear. "They're so cute!"

"Uh, you know they're both girls, right?" Naru said.

"Yeah, but if you think about it…" Kitsune whispered. Naru blushed. That's right, he still is a guy after all…

"Thank you, Shinobu-chan!" Keitaro said, and released the hug. Shinobu was all swirly-eyed, thinking Sempai hugged me! Even though it looks like a woman, it still was sempai hugging me!

"So anyways…what's PMS all about?" Keitaro said. Haruka started to laugh again.

"P…M…S," she laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Err…what's wrong with Haruka-san?" Keitaro asked.

"She's just laughing because you've never had it before and so it's funny," Naru said.

"Um…" Keitaro stuttered, pointing at a Haruka who was laughing and shaking. "It can't be that funny, can it?"

"Don't know, don't care, idiot. I'm leaving," Naru said, and she promptly did so.

"But…but…" Keitaro said.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything you need to know," Kitsune cried.

"Uh…why do I not feel reassured?" Keitaro said.

"Lesson! Lesson! Woo hoo hoo! It's a lesson!" Su chanted, jumping up and down. Haruka was still laughing.

"Would you quit it with the laughing already?" Keitaro snapped.

"Boy," Haruka said, finally stopping. "I guess he is really crabby and pushy and angry and has PMS."

"Thank you very much!" Keitaro said sarcastically.

"Fine, I can see I'm not wanted," Haruka said, and she left.

"Well, I really don't need to hear this talk about PMS," Motoko said.

"What? You're the one that needs it the most," Kitsune joked.

"Wha-? Don't say such filthy lies, I never get PMS!" Motoko said.

"Cause she has it constantly," Keitaro muttered under his breath.

"URASHIMA I HEARD THAT! ROCK SPLITTING TECHNIQUE!" Motoko suddenly bellowed.

"Aieeeeeeeeee!" Keitaro cried, completely caught unawares.

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

::10:00 AM::

There was a white board set up. Keitaro, Shinobu, Su, and Motoko were all sitting on the couch while Kitsune was standing up and writing stuff down on the board.

"Now, we all know what PMS stands for, right?" she asked.

"PRE-MENAPAUSAL SYMPTOM!!" Su shouted.

"Correct!" Kitsune said.

"Wee! I get a point!" Su said, and she wrote her name on the board and put a slash underneath it to signify her "point." Why am I here? Motoko thought wearily.

"Okay, so by now we all know what are these symptoms," Kitsune said. The marker squeaked while she wrote down "anger," "annoyance," "general irritability," and "the general feeling that you want to kill everyone, or at least hurt them badly."

"Isn't that a bit over the edge?" Keitaro asked, pointing to the last one.

"Of course not," Kitsune said. "Didn't you just feel like you could kill them?"

"No," Keitaro said. Kitsune sighed. "You did all that shouting and still felt nice?"

"Nice, no. But it's not like I wanted to kill anybody," Keitaro said.

"Hmmm…we'll have to work on that…" Kitsune said.

"What?! You want me to have a killing ambition?" Keitaro said. Kitsune got closer and waggled her finger in his face.

"Most real women on PMS at one time or another have an urge to kill someone if they are angry enough. Haven't you ever heard the saying that 'to anger a chick on PMS is like signing your own death warrant?'" Kitsune asked.

"Well…I thought it was an over-exaggeration…" Keitaro said.

"Ha! Shows how much you know! Aren't you glad you're taking this class?" Kitsune said.

"Not if it teaches me to want to kill people!!!" Keitaro shouted.

"Okay, now that you know what it is, you should know it lasts three days or so," Kitsune continued, ignoring Keitaro.

"Three days?!!!" Keitaro said.

"Until you have your period," Kitsune said.

"Which is?" Keitaro asked.

"Do you really want to know?" Kitsune, grinning evilly.

"It's kind of important, since it's happening to me!!" Keitaro said. Kitsune whispered in his ear what it was. Keitaro turned red.

"You…you're joking, right?" Keitaro said.

"Of course not! Didn't your parents ever tell you about the 'birds' and the 'bees?'" Kitsune said.

"Of course, but not about women!!!" Keitaro shouted. "My parents aren't indecent like that!"

"Jeez!♥" Kitsune giggled. "You don't know anything do you?"

"Um…what did you tell Sempai?" Shinobu asked.

"Why, what a period was," Kitsune said. Keitaro muttered to himself in a corner.

"Ah…" Shinobu said.

"Now, this is the important part, so listen!" Kitsune said.

"What?" Keitaro said.

"How to deal with PMS!" Kitsune said.

"Deal?" Keitaro asked.

"Yes!" Kitsune answered. "And you three, listen up, cause being the oldest girl I have a lot of experience in this area!"

"Ah…isn't Haruka-san older?" Shinobu asked.

"Well…the oldest one who would teach you about this stuff," Kitsune corrected herself.

"You're the only one who would teach this!!" Keitaro yelled. Kitsune ignored him.

"So…what you do when you have PMS is to try to keep cool. If you can't, then just act on it and get angry and kill someone, I guess," Kitsune said.

"What do you know?!!" Keitaro asked.

"That's it!♥"

"What a waste of time!" Keitaro complained.

"Waste? Why it was very helpful to you, wasn't it?" Kitsune said. "You probably need to go buy the 'necessities,'" Kitsune said.

"What necessities?" Keitaro asked.

"Why, tampons of–" Kitsune began.

"SHHHHH!" Keitaro said, looking around. "Don't say it so loud."

"TAMPONS! TAMPONS! TAMPONS!" Su shouted gleefully, bouncing around the room. Motoko turned red and stood up.

"Well…if this is over, then I will leave now," she said, and left.

"I'm going too…" Keitaro muttered.

"TAMPONS! TAMPONS! TAMPONS!" Su continued to shout.

"Okay, Su, that's enough," Kitsune said.

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

::1:00 PM::

"Alright, ready to start the English section?" Naru asked.

"Yeah, let me just refill the tea," Keitaro answered, and he took his and Narusegawa's cups to refill. He returned and sat back down.

"Alright, we'll start with word cards. What is this?" Naru asked.

"To save," Keitaro answered.

"Yup, next," Naru said, holding up another.

"To maximize," Keitaro said.

"Good," Naru commented. Keitaro started thinking. Man, if I wasn't a woman right now, I might not be doing this. Studying in Narusegawa's room, drinking tea, chatting. Ah…if only I was a guy again…

################Keitaro's Daydream#################

Keitaro was a guy again. He was in Narusegawa's room.

"Idiot, we have to go get our scores," Naru said.

"Oh, I already got them," he said.

"Really? What did we get?" she asked.

"I don't know, let's look," Keitaro said. They both ripped open their letters.

"Ah…ah…fu fu fu fu…" Keitaro said.

"What is it?" Naru asked.

"I GOT AN A! YIPEE! WOO HOO!" Keitaro shouted, running around the room holding his paper. "LOOK! LOOK!" he said.

"Hmm…very odd…" Naru said. "Well, congratulations."

"THANK YOU!" Keitaro said, hugging Narusegawa.

"Ah, Keitaro!" Naru exclaimed.

"I am so thankful, it's all because of you that I got this!" Keitaro said.

"Hey, when do the scores for the latest mock exam come out?" Naru asked.

"Eh?" Keitaro said, returning to reality.

"I said when do we get the scores for the latest mock exam?" Naru repeated.

"Oh…err…the 24th?" Keitaro asked.

"Idiot! I'm asking you!" Naru said, hitting him with a pillow.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Keitaro said. Scores! If I get a good grade…

"I hope we both got good grades!" Naru said.

"Yes, me too!" Keitaro said. Then we can be in Todai together…ah…

"Hmm?" Naru said. "Are you okay?"

"OH NO!" Keitaro suddenly yelled.

"What?"

"I forgot it's Christmas in three days!" Keitaro said. "I haven't bought anyone any gifts!"

"Idiot!" Naru said. "You can't go shopping now!"

"Please?" Keitaro asked, begging. "Aren't we friends? Can't you help a friend in need?"

"All right all right. Jeez, you don't have to be so bothersome," Naru said. "We can go shopping for gifts. Though at this time of the year, it'll be so packed."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Keitaro said.

--------------Tokyo Mall----------------

::2:00 PM:: (A/N: I don't know anything about the mall in Tokyo, or even that there is one. So bear with me. Actually, I don't even know what kind of shops are in Japan, what the heck are the Japanese brand stores over there? The ones in America? So maybe I'll use American names, don't get angry!)

"C'mon, let's not spend any more time here then we have too," Naru said. "I don't like crowded malls."

"I don't like it either," Keitaro agreed.

"So…do you know what you want buy?" Naru asked.

"Heh heh…" Keitaro started chuckling nervously.

"I take that as a no," Naru said, her voice falling disappointingly. "Idiot! Think of something before we come!"

"Actually, I did," Keitaro said.

"Wha-? Really?" Naru asked, surprised at Keitaro's readiness.

"I even wrote it down!" Keitaro said, reaching into his pocket and showed Naru.

"Well, you're getting more responsible," Naru said. "It must be because you're a girl now!" she teased.

"Heh heh…" Keitaro chuckled again. "Well, let's say that I wrote the items down, but I don't know what stores to go to."

"Well, then, it's lucky you brought me. What are friends for?" Naru said. Eh?! Keitaro thought. She sees me as a friend? I'm so happy! He started crying.

"Stop crying, and let's go," Naru said. She took another look at the list. "What? You're buying jewelry? Since when are you rich enough to do that?"

"Ah…" Keitaro stuttered.

"And why are you getting jewelry for Motoko anyways?" Naru asked.

"Well…err…let's see…how can I put it…um…" Keitaro stuttered some more.

"Stop avoiding the subject!" Naru shouted.

"Sorry!"

"And what am I getting?" Naru said, scanning the list. "Hey, you didn't write any thing down for me!"

"That's because…err…" Keitaro continued to be unable to answer any questions.

"And you're getting bananas for Su? Can't you be a little more creative?" Naru accused.

"Ah…" Keitaro started to say something.

"And Kitsune doesn't need any more wine!!" Naru yelled. "Why don't you get her something that is healthy?!"

"Err..."

"Okay, this one is sort of a good idea," Naru said, pointing to where Keitaro had written down cook book for Shinobu. "Though you should be getting her something she will enjoy, not something that she'll use for you!"

"Sorry…"

"So?" Naru said, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Well, I didn't write down yours cause I didn't want you seeing it!" Keitaro exclaimed.

"Uh huh," Naru said. "So just when were you planning on getting mine, if not today?"

"Err…" GROPE!

"EH?!" Naru exclaimed. GROPE!

"EH?!" Keitaro said. They spun around, but only saw the usual crowd milling by.

"Did you?" Naru asked.

"Yes," Keitaro answered. "It must be…"

"THE PERVERT BRIGADE HAS ARRIVED!" a group of people suddenly shouted from the front of a store. "WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO GRABBING HOT LOOKING GIRLS' BUTTS!" Everyone sweat-dropped. "AND WE KNOW THEY LOVE IT, SO COME LINE UP HERE AND–" SLIIIIIICCCEEEEE! "AIEEE!" they shouted as someone tore through them.

"You'll live, but only if you never do that again," a voice said. "Being so indecent makes me sick."

"We…we…must…" a member coughed out.

"Someone call 911!" another member shouted. (A/N: I may have said this before, is there a 911 in Japan?)

"You don't need an ambulance, but repentance. Swear you will never join the pervert brigade ever again."

"Never!"

"Then, fools, prepare to die!"

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Keitaro yelled. POOF!

"Keitaro! What are you doing?!!!!" Naru whispered hoarsely. Nevertheless, a clone Keitaro appeared and rushed in between the raging swordsman and the pervert brigade.

"GOD CRY SCHOOL'S PERVERT ELIMINATIO–" the swordsman started to shout. "Eh?!" the swordsman cried when he saw Keitaro. "What are you doing?"

"You can't kill them!" the clone Keitaro said.

"Urashima! Out of my way!"

"Eh? Motoko-chan?!" Keitaro exclaimed.

"Yes, now let me punish them properly, with death," Motoko said.

"Don't kill them, just call the police or something," Keitaro whined.

"Urashima…don't make me hurt you…" Motoko growled. "Eh?!" Suddenly, the real Keitaro grabbed her from behind. "What? Two?"

"Heh heh Motoko…you don't have to kill them…" Keitaro said.

"RELEASE ME AT ONCE!" Motoko yelled.

"I can't, cause then you'll kill them…" Keitaro said.

"Oh, she cares!" a member of the pervert brigade said. "She must know that–"

"Shut up, and stay down," the clone Keitaro said, and kicked him.

"Ow!"

"So, will you just call the police?"

"Someone has," someone from the crowd said.

"NO! They must have more punishment…" Motoko cried, and continued to struggle.

"C'mon, Motoko, let them go to jail and just be that," Keitaro said.

"DIE!" Motoko jumped into the air, with Keitaro still holding onto her.

"Motoko!"

"You will release me!" Motoko said, and spun around several times, throwing Keitaro to the ground.

"Aieeee!" he screamed.

"Someone catch her!"

"I got her!"

"No wait!"

"Over here!" POOMFFFF!! Keitaro landed on someone.

"DIE!" Motoko shouted.

"Ahh!" Keitaro shouted.

"Get off!" Naru shouted from underneath Keitaro.

"GOD CRY SCHOOL'S INVINCIBLE ASSASAIN'S STRIKE!" Motoko yelled. BAAAAAAAAAAAM!!

"AIEEEEEEEE!" Keitaro cried flying through the ceiling.

"Eh?" Naru said, suddenly free of the weight that had been weighing her down. Motoko was panting hard, but she smiled.

"Now to kill the perverts…" she said.

"THIS IS THE POLICE! THE PERVERT BRIGADE IS UNDER ARREST. YOU MAY NOT MOVE AWAY, OR YOU WILL BE SHOT! I REPEAT…"

"Arrrgh!" Motoko yelled.

--------------Tokyo Mall Food Court----------------------

::An hour later::

"Sorry Urashima…" Motoko said. "But next time…"

"Heh heh, I just couldn't let you kill them…" Keitaro said.

"Hmmph!" Motoko grunted.

"Anyways, I have to go to the bathroom, so wait here, and DON'T FOLLOW!" Naru said.

"Heh heh…" Keitaro chuckled nervously.

"Why? Did you follow last time?" Motoko asked.

"Yeah…" Keitaro said.

"And I will never be able to forget the embarrassment I suffered!" Naru said, and she left.

"So…what are you doing here?" Keitaro asked.

"What are you doing?" Motoko retorted.

"I'm just, ah, buying Christmas gifts," Keitaro said.

"Ah. Well, I'm doing the same, simply buying gifts. I had them prepared, but forgot a couple people," Motoko commented.

"Who?"

"Ah my…" Motoko paused. "I don't have to tell you!!"

"Sorry!" Keitaro said cringing. "I'm just asking!"

"Hmmph!" Motoko said. They waited for Naru to come back. People milled about in the background. "Ahem!" Motoko coughed.

"Eh?" Keitaro asked.

"Well, I forgot to get a gift for my sister," Motoko said.

"Sister? You have a sister?" Keitaro asked.

"How can you be so dumb!!" Motoko said. "Everyone knows that!"

"Well, I've never met her!" Keitaro said.

"You haven't met a lot of people, so there!" Motoko said. The silence returned. Keitaro whistled a nameless tune.

"So…what does your sister look like?" Keitaro asked.

"You'll find out soon, she's coming over for Christmas," Motoko said.

"What!? When were you going to tell me this?!!" Keitaro asked. "Shoot, now I should get her something too."

"Oh, that is quite unnecessary. Err…actually…" Motoko began.

"What?" Keitaro asked. Motoko leaned closer.

"Could you…err…not get me anything…" Motoko said.

"What?! I'm your landlord, I have to. Plus, I've already decided what it is," Keitaro said.

"But…ah…never mind," Motoko said, blushing slightly.

"?" Keitaro asked.

"I'm back!" Naru said.

"Eh?" Motoko and Keitaro both said, turning to face Naru. Naru was surprised to see them so close.

"Ah…what's up?" Naru asked, trying to think the best of Keitaro. He's a girl now, so obviously he wouldn't be doing anything bad…would he?

"Oh, Motoko just says that her sister is coming for thanksgiving," Keitaro said.

"What? You have a sister?" Naru asked.

"That's what I said!" Keitaro commented.

"Oh yeah, that's right. Her name is Tsuruko, right?" Naru asked.

"Yes," Motoko answered.

"Ha!♥ I knew I've met her before!" Naru said.

-----------Hinata-Sou------------

::That night, after dinner::

"Ah, man, shopping today was like pulling teeth with chopsticks!" Keitaro said at the dinner table.

"That is simple to do, once you have mastered the technique. Would you like me to show you?" Motoko said.

"Ah…no thanks," Keitaro said. "All I meant was, it was really difficult, like hunting birds with butter knives."

"That is also quite possible," Motoko said, sipping her tea.

"Err…" Keitaro stuttered.

"Keitaro went shopping? Oooo, what did you buy?" Kitsune asked.

"Ah…nothing that important," Keitaro answered.

"What didja buy? What didja buy?" Su asked, hanging on to Keitaro in her usual manner.

"Su! Get off!" Keitaro complained.

"What did you get?" Motoko asked. "You just left afterwards."

"Oh, so Motoko and Keitaro were having a shopping trip!♥" Kitsune giggled. "Very good and feminine!"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Naru asked, sweat-dropping.

"Oh…just this and that…" Kitsune said.

"Keitaro! What did you buy?!" Su asked, gripping tighter with her legs.

"Ackkk!" Keitaro choked. "You're killing me!"

"Haha!" Su giggled.

"C'mon, Keitaro, spit it out," Kitsune said, putting her hand on his cheek.

"Just…some…Christmas…gifts…" Keitaro managed to say.

"Ha!♥" Su said, and she jumped off. "Time to raid Keitaro's room!"

"No wait! Come baaaack!" Keitaro screamed, racing after Su.

"Nyah nyah! Can't catch meeee!" Su taunted.

"So Motoko, what did he get for Su?" Kitsune asked.

"Why would I know?!" Motoko said hotly.

"Well…you went shopping with him…right?" Kitsune said suggestive.

"I did nothing of the sort. I was there and simply met him and Naru-sempai at the mall!" Motoko said.

"Aha! So Naru, you were the one who went shopping with him!" Kitsune said.

"Well…so?" Naru said.

"Why would you do that? Hey…you didn't even go shopping with me!!" Kitsune shouted.

"Well…he was just so pathetic, begging me you know? And he had this look on him that even you would have done it!" Naru said.

"Or…you like him!"

"Do not! He's a girl anyways!"

"But essentially…she's a he…and maybe one day, he'll change back!"

"I don't care! I just couldn't do anything, I mean he's my friend…eep!" Naru said, blushing.

"Aha!"

"Go away!" Naru shouted, and she left in a huff. Kitsune said nothing, thinking.

"Hee hee, I've got the perfect plan!" she said. Oh no, what is she going to do now? Motoko thought, sweat-dropping.

A/N: Holy moly, this chapter is way longer than it should be. I mean, I meant it to be a one part, but things sort of happened and now it's gonna be two chapters. Okay, if you actually felt that anything above was offensive, please don't kill me! And if you actually skipped this chapter…then the important stuff is that Motoko's sister is visiting sometime for Christmas. That's basically the important stuff. Actually, nothing is really that offensive after they finish the PMS lesson, so read from there. I doubt anyone actually skipped, but better safe than sorry, eh? Please R&R!
