Chapter 4: "Naru, Who Are You?"

Previously we found that Keitaro had lost all of his memories of the girls back at Hinata House. You can only guess how this will affect his relationship with Naru (because I already know. hee hee)! And what about the other girls? Will they take this as a chance to steal Keitaro for themselves?

Stay tuned for partial excitement!

Note: If anybody wants to review and suggest a pairing, I'll take and use the result that is the Popular Vote! Just no Keitaro/Shinobu, it's not that I'm a Keitaro/Shinobu hater, I just have a secret plan in the works. (Again, hee hee)

Right now I would like to address the people who reviewed (because only two people reviewed the last chapter!)

Dimitri Plabato- Hey man, you're right Word Pad sucks! It's all I have because my Microsoft Word is all locked up.
Faith of the Forsaken- Hey Jen! I hope I annoyed you immensely by changing my penname (DON'T HURT ME)
Artful- I appreciate your big worded review. And your use of "wacky" in a fragment.
Innortal- Dude, what's wrong with your name? Isn't it supposed to be "Immortal". Whatever. Tanks fo' readin!
tainted gump- um, I'm not even gonna ask.
Dante Eegret- ooh, cool name, dude, ever hear of lower case letters? yeah, we had a few drinks and she said some nice things about you.
Mantis Man- Hey, Insect Man! WHAAAAT are you doing? Yeah, sorry, implusive stupidity. I am in quite a lot of thankfulness of your, um, oh crap, I can't think of the word... support! Yes, support and like of my story. It make me feel like fuzzy bear slippers!

On wit' da story!

"Hey, Keitaro! You packed yet?" Seta called out to Keitaro from the door, "We're gonna be late"
"I'm coming! Just hold on... ow... be right there... ow!" Keitaro yelled scrambling out of the apartment into the van.

Later, on the way to LAX

"Hold on, Keitaro! I feel like we're gonna have to outrun some cops to get on the freeway!" Seta screamed as he gunned the motor and sped off to the airport... with Keitaro screaming the whole way.
Just as suspected, the entire Los Angeles high speed chase squad was chasing after Seta's van at about 140mph. "How the hell are we supposed to outrun that!" Keitaro screamed, "I told you to pay those parking tickets!"
"I'm an archaeologist, not a millionaire! Besides, why don't you use your leg rockets and FLY the van out of here!"
"Just one problem, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FREAKIN' USE 'EM!"
"Not a problem," Seta said as he gripped the wheel. He veered through a construction barrier and drove through weaving in between the construction workers and debris. Suddenly, the van was out on the runway... driving straight at a plane that was barreling RIGHT TOWARDS THEM!
"Um, Seta? WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO A PLANE!" Keitaro screamed as the van abruptly turned and threw him out of the van and onto the ground with his bags way too conveniently placed beside him.
Seta's teeth sparkled in his signature way and he looked at Keitaro and said, "Well, Keitaro you'd better get on that plane! Naru's probably worried sick. I gotta go dig more stuff up. BYE!"
Then, Keitaro was completely alone with Seta speeding down the runway like a maniac... as usual.
"Yeah, that girl in the print club book... I wonder who she is?" he wondered as he picked up his stuff and started walking to the airport.

Kobe International Airport

Keitaro arrived all right, got a rental car all right, got into Tokyo all right, but when he got to Kanagawa... everything went wrong...

"So... this is Hinata House?" Keitaro said as he walked up the steps. At that moment, his life would never be the same... and the steps exploded.
Or, rather, the steps exploded because of the giant energy ball thrown from the air above Keitaro from the very menacing enemy guy who I have decided to put into the story as a cohesive plot element. To summarize, baaaad stuff's happenin.
"What the hell was that!" Keitaro yelled as he tried to rub the scorch marks from his face and picked himself out of the rubble.
There was someone floating in the air above him in a large black robe. Obviously, this was not a very friendly enemy.
"Keitaro Urashima, you will give me the Stone of Shamar, or I will take it from you!" the figure boomed down at him.
"BOULDER CUTTING STRIKE!" yelled a voice as the figure was blasted with a wave of ki, forcing it into the ground. A woman with tied-back black and wearing a kendo uniform asked him, "Urashima! Are you all right"
"Um, how do you know my name?" was all Keitaro could say and passed out, because of the incredible shock of almost dying, among other things.

"Sempai? Sempai, are you all right?" said a girl's voice as he slowly rejoined, and painfully, mind you, the world.
"Ugh, Wh-Where am I"
"Sempai, you're back at Hinata House. I missed you so much!" said the same voice as he leaned forward. He looked around. It was a very large room that he was sitting in. His vision was still blurry but he could make out five girls sitting next to his futon. The one closest to him had black hair to her shoulders, the ones in the back were the girl with sword, some girl with glasses, and fox-eyed woman who was looking at him strangely. There was another girl with a tan who just kept smiling.
"Um... hello everyone, my name is Keitaro Urashima and I think I'm your landlord," he said as he got up and bowed to them.
They looked at him like he had offered them a plutonium rod as a gift.
The fox-eyed woman walked up to him and put her hand on his head, "Hey, Keitaro, you feelin' all right? Maybe I should get you back in bed... my bed, that is..."
Keitaro's eyes bugged out of his head as blood gushed out of his nose.
Naru, as always, got into a rage, and, also as always, sent him into orbit with his signature, "UWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Haruka came in with her usual cigarette and laid back attitude, "So, Keitaro finally came back did he"
Keitaro came back down in a flurry of leaves with... rocket feet?
Again, weird looks all around. Apparently, the plutonium rod I was talking about earlier has grown 117 legs and started doing the Can-can.
"Hey! What's the hell is wrong with you? You could've killed me! I just got here! I don't even know you!" Keitaro screamed at the four-eyed brown-haired girl.
She seemed like Keitaro had hit her as hard as he could. Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran back into Hinata House.
"What's with her?" he said as he saw the other girls come up behind him. Kendo girl with a very sharp-looking sword. The fox-slut with a way too big liquor bottle, the foriegn girl with the tan held a gun that was too big too exist, and the cute one with a very heavy frying pan.
"Oh, god," he said simply as he ran for his life.
"SOOOMEBOOODY HELP ME!" he screamed as he ran down the steps, racing to save his life. (think the big panel in the first volume, you know, the one where they try to kill him... the first time)

End Chapter Four Hey, guys! Sorry I took so long. School, other stories in the works... you know the drill... wait up for the next chapter. Chapter 5: Keitaro, Remember Me!
