DISCLAIMER: No, I don't own Love Hina. Bummer.

"Imminent doom was never one of my best motivations," Commented Brainy Keitaro dryly, as he kept up a brisk pace behind Haruka, Suu, and Sarah, as they ran down the road. Haruka rolled her eyes.

"Shut up, and let's just hurry. The sooner we stop your evil twin, the better."

"He is only acting out our innermost desires," Brainy Keitaro pointed out.

"Which may make him lethal if those desires get out of hand! Now are you going to keep complaining, or do I have to drag you along?" Haruka shouted. Brainy Keitaro sighed and picked up the pace, running alongside Suu now with ease.

"Suu... What is that thing you're carrying?" He asked. The blonde turned and smiled broadly.

"A weapon for stopping Evil Keitaro! Won't hurt him, just stop him!" Brainy Keitaro nodded.

"Why don't I carry it? You don't want it to break..." Suu looked considerate.

"Well... Okies! But let me use it when we find Evil Keitaro, okay?"

"Deal," Brainy Keitaro smiled, easily catching the device as the blonde Mol Mol princess tossed it to him. A gasping shout forced them to skid to a stop and turn around.

"Wait... Just... A... Moment..." Haruka gasped, on her knees and panting. Sarah stood nearby, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.

"You really shouldn't smoke, Old Woman." The blonde got a whap to the head, which made her cry out. Haruka, still gasping for breath, glared at her.

"Don't call me... Old... Woman... Brat..."

Unnoticed by anyone else, Brainy Keitaro quickly made some adjustments to Suu's weapon. When Haruka had caught her breath, they resumed their frantic pace, though Brainy Keitaro now wore a small smirk on his face rather than the indifferent mask of before.

"WOO! I get to do my sister! I get to do my sister!" Fun Keitaro chanted, while Kitsune shook her head in exasperation, Timid Keitaro sniffled pathetically, Mutsumi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and the police station's occupants all stared at the perfect twins, and the cool, catlike girl paying their bail to the astonished seargant.

"Now then, let's get going," Kanako said matter-of-factly. "I want to have all my oni-chans back where they should be-In one body."

"And in your bed?" Kitsune quipped. Fun Keitaro continued his chant, to which Kanako only smirked.

"Good Lord..." Kitsune rubbed her forehead sadly. Timid Keitaro clung to Mutsumi harder, whimpering.

"But... But... I don't wanna go back to one body!" TK moaned. Kanako glared at this copy of her adopted brother/love interest.

"You have no choice. You are simply a copy of the original. Now let's get going and collect the others, so I can strangle that blonde monkey myself..."

Urashima grimaced from his hiding place in the treetops. As various Tokyo U students milled about underneath him, he sneered at their pathetic, meaningless lives. He might have become one of them, if he'd stayed one with that jellyfish Keitaro. Some disgusting prep.

But freed of his confinement, he now chose his own destiny. And it would be a destiny that all would feel.

"S-Sempai! I can't keep my balance!" Urashima reached out and caught Shinobu, once more, from falling out of the tree. She blushed profusely at the smile he shot her, part comfort, part amusement.

"Really Shinobu… You should tumble into beds, not out of trees," he admonished playfully, making her face burn even brighter. He then froze, before leaping to the ground below.

"Semp-!"

"Stay there," Urashima ordered, adjusting his sunglasses as he glared straight ahead.

"Come out already. I already know you're here."

Kanako Urashima emerged from what had appeared to be a little old lady feeding the birds, while Kitsune, TK, Fun Keitaro, and Mutsumi moved out from behind a few trees. Kanako raised an eyebrow.

"Impressive."

"Hello, sister," Urashima smirked. Kanako snorted.

"You are not my brother."

"Of course I am. It's all in your perspective, Kanako-chan." Urashima's gaze turned to his "brothers" and the two other girls. He snorted.

"What? You haven't figured it out yet, you two?"

"What?" Fun Keitaro asked.

"W-What?" TK offered. Urashima rolled his eyes.

"We're being led here so that they can-"

"DIE, URASHIMA!" The evil Keitaro dodged just in time, as Motoko struck with a near-lethal blow. Urashima glared at her, and Confident Keitaro behind her, wielding a bokken. Urashima then smiled darkly.

"Fine. You figure it out." With this, he leapt into battle, Italian-leather shoes flying.

"Keitaro! Hand me gun!" Suu ordered, as the small group finally came upon the sounds of battle near Toudai. Dutifully, Brainy Keitaro did so, as the little blonde foreigner set up the device on the ground. It seemed like a cylinder with dozens of tiny lights blinking on and off, with several wires haphazardly plugged in. Haruka frowned.

"I thought this was supposed to be a gun?"

"It is! Flux gun… Wide-beam. Fire repeatedly. Hit all Keitaros, and reintegrate!"

Haruka blinked, and looked over at Brainy Keitaro, who shrugged.

"I'm fine with this."

"What? But, you'll die, dork!" Sarah griped. "Doesn't that mean anything to you!"

"Of course it does," Brainy Keitaro said quietly. He then shrugged. "But I believe things will turn out far better than you might think." Sarah gaped at him, before throwing up her hands in disgust.

"Ugh! We had to get the suicidal dork, didn't we!"

"Suu ready! Suu… SWITCH ON!"

"So…"

"So…?" Echoed Kind Keitaro, patient. Naru scowled and snuggled a little closer to him.

"Nothing. I forgot what I wanted to say." Kind Keitaro smiled and shook his head, as he adjusted himself on the bench so that Naru could more comfortably lean on him.

His eyes widened, and he went rigid. Naru blinked and looked up at her Keitaro. His eyes began to glow with bright white light.

"Keitaro? KEITARO!"

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil! To Be Continued!
