Keitaro Levels Up!

Chapter 5: Remember Me, Keitaro!

Previously, we found Keitaro returning to Hinata to a masked vigilante ready to kill him and was, totally, utterly, and figuratively, beaten the living crap out of by Motoko Aoyama. Unfortunately for the fragile Keitaro, he passed out. Awoken by Shinobu... things got really funny... Another words, explosions, face-kicks, rocket feet, yada, yada, yada, you probably read the last chapter already. Now we find Keitaro trying to figure what just happened...

A bush slowly scittered up the stairs leading up to Hinata House. "Okay, Keitaro... nice and easy..." thought the pathetic co-protagonist in this story. (yes! i said CO-protagonist XP) The bush slowly creeped into the hallway and through the living room. "Phew, at least no one's here" he sighed out as he heard a door open and the sound of steam and voices. Keitaro panicked, "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, what the hell do I do!"

The first one to come in was Kitsune. And, of course, since it was a girl's dorm, they all thought clothing was uneccessary since no one was around to ogle them.

Motoko was the first to spot the "bush". "Um... was that bush always there? Su! DID YOU TURN SHINOBU INTO A BUSH AGAIN!" she screamed as Su made a cute face.

Keitaro slipped out of the bush while they all looked at Su and were questioning her sanity... again... Crawling very quietly up the stairs he heard sobbing. He stopped at Room 304. The sobbing seemed to be coming from in here. "Uh... Miss? Are yo alright in there?" he said as he tapped softly on the doorframe.

The girl opened the door and Keitaro just stood there for a few seconds waiting for her to say something. Her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was a mess. The inside of her room was littered with pictures of himself. "Kei-Keitaro? Is that you?" she said slowly, holding back sobs.

Keitaro felt confusion seeping farther and farther into the crevice between the halves of his brain. "Uh... yeah... I think so..." he said with one of his adorable/cute smiles.

Tears welled up in Naru's eyes. She grabbed onto him and held him close. She began sobbing again and choked out the words, "I missed you so much!"

Keitaro... dude, you have no idea how weirded out he felt... It's pretty funny, though... ahem Anyway, Keitaro just did the first thing that came into his head and put his arms around her. Too bad Motoko came up the stairs at that precise moment that he put his arms around her.

"Naru! We figured out Shinobu's not a b- URASHIMA!" she said going from sort of annoyed to raving mad. Unsheathing her sword, she pushed Naru out of the way and went for the poor, poor man (He's so abused... kinda reminds me of how it is with my girlfriend T.T).

Keitaro didn't even move. His head turned and his eyes rolled into his head so all you could see was the whites of his eyes. He ducked down and did a sweeping kick and, as Motoko's leg flew into the air, flung her body to the floor. He came up and his fist flew down towards her and stopped right in front of her windpipe. His eyes changed back to normal. "Oh my god! Motoko... are you all right?"

Motoko sat up slowly. "Wow... Urashima-sempai... I'm so sorry... about everything..." she said as tears welled up in her eyes. She jumped up suddenly and ran out of the room.

Keitaro held out his hand in front of himself. "Motoko..." he said with a sad tone in his voice.

Naru just sat there puzzled. "Wow... I've thought he'd finally crack someday... but this is crazy..." she said as Keitaro turned around and faced her. She curled up slightly, not sure of what he'd do.

Keitaro looked at the floor. "I'm sorry, miss, that you had to see that..." he said slowly as he quickly turned and walked out.

She started crying again. "He doesn't really remember me at all..." she choked out.

Kitsune was the only one who hadn't realized what had happened to Keitaroand she didn't know what would happen so she went ahead and gave him a "special" welcome...

"Hey, Kei-baby..." she said to him as he walked down the stairs.

Keitaro turned as he saw a girl in only a towel winking at him "suspiciously". (This is gonna be great! XD) "Um... hi?" was all he could get out of his mouth.

"Heh... I thought I'd get a better greeting than that..." she said as she walked over and grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him over towards her and smirked.

Keitaro did something he never did before. He didn't pass out, he didn't have blood explode from his nose, he ran... He turned, put his tail between his legs... and ran... like hell had been unleashed and he was the only living human left.

Just as he made his harrowing escape, a van pulled up. Out came Seta and another man. The man looked about nineteen with glasses, spiky blonde hair, and had a laptop under his arm with wires and cables in his hands.

"So... this is were he is?" the blone man asked Seta.

"Of course it is, Josh... What did you think? That this place makes good breakfast sandwiches?" Seta said with an air of sarcasm as he took a drag on his cigarette. Just then, Keitaro bolted past them. They didn't see his face but Josh yelled out, "Watch it, you maniac! You could have hurt somebody!"

Seta didn't even seemed fazed, in fact, he seemed to be in another dimension, comtemplating his task. "So... you ready?" he looked over to Josh and asked.

"You bet." he simply said with a smirk and started walking up the stairs.

Keitaro was still running... for how long no one knows...

Sorry it's a bit short guys... Easter was a killer and Spring Break made me lazier than usual... Well... Stay tuned for the next one! Chapter 6: Keitaro Times 2!
