Keitaro Levels Up!

Chapter 10: Ambush! Don't let your blade break, Motoko!

-First off, I'll go ahead and do some responses for the (!) three reviews I got.

Havenoname- You know... I think you're the only non-writer on this site who isn't an asshole who flames everyone and I really enjoy your comments! So, keep it up because most of your feedback is helping me a lot. And as a special gift, a message from Tsuruko!

Tsuruko: Hello there, Havenoname... You've been making him very happy so I'll make you happy... Oops. giggle My gi top just came open... (Note: I'm not a perv. I can just write smut if I feel like it... if you can even call what I just did smut.)

Now then... speaking of assholes...

de DUMBASS!- Howdy there. You live in Florida? The place where America goes to die? Happy joy. First off, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE !#$ING NARU BASHING! Seriously, I know she's a pretty insane bitch and I can't stand her myself BUT I don't want to listen to you whining about it. She's actually a good person at heart... just violent. And you know what, I don't live at your house and I don't live in Florida and this is MY story and if you want Keitaro to not get beat up so much then YOU WRITE A STORY ABOUT IT AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! This is why this is then... next I'll tally the votes.

Naru: ...Back up to -1.

Tsuruko: Right in the lead with 2.

...How is it that no one wants to vote on this? If you guys can't give me more ideas this might keep going on forever... (though I think most of you would like that.)


The rest of the afternoon of Takeshi and Mutsumi's date had gone by as slowly as possible for the girl's back home. Kitsune had drunk herself to sleep, Motoko was training, Shinobu was making dinner, and Naru was breaking things in frustration. So, you know, absolutely normal day. Now if we shift to Mutsumi and Takeshi however... it was quite the opposite...

"Oh, Kei-kun! You didn't have to bring me to this expensive French restaurant!" she gushed.

"Anything for you, Mu-chan," he said, giving his teeth one of those strange glitter things that you see on toothpaste commercials.

But enough of that, TIME FOR THE ROMANTIC FLASHBACK!

As they flew out over the city, Mutsumi couldn't help but stare at "Kei-kun's" amazing metal wings.

"Like them, do you?" Takeshi asked.

She giggled and just clinged to him a little tighter, taking in his scent like a love-sick schoolgirl.

Takeshi inwardly drooled at the sensation of Mutsumi so... erm... close. 'She sooooo sooooft...' he thought, perverted ideas jumping into his head.

He landed down behind a dumpster, retracting his wings and "wincing" for effect.

Mutsumi blushed and ran her fingers down his back, "Does it hurt, Kei-kun?"

He smiled at her, working his charm already, "Not now it isn't." He slipped his arm around her waist and put on another smile, "Shall we go?"

Montage: (romantic acoustic guitars play in the background) Mutsumi and Takeshi riding a ferris wheel, she blushing and he plotting, Mutsumi with cotton candy all over her face and Takeshi laughing, Mutsumi carrying a huge Generically Super-Cute Japanese cartoon-derived doll after Takeshi won it for her in the Rifle Game, The two of them holding hands and walking on a boardwalk, fireworks lighting in the sky. End montage.

END FLASHBACK... NOW!

He held up his glass and toasted his glass to her, "To a wonderful night."

She was already a little tipsy so she just sipped her wine in reply.

He smiled, the wheels turning in his head.

But enough of that... I'd better tell you guys what happened back at the Hinata House while all this romance was going on...


Motoko swung her sword around absent-mindedly, fixated on understanding this situation.

She though back to the black-haired boy that she found in the woods a few days ago... She gazed off into the sky, dreaming about his raven-black locks that just accentuated his amazing blue eyes... She stopped, blushing profusely and then whacking herself with her bokken.

"NO! NOOOOOOO! I can't be in love again!" she screamed and then started beating herself in the head. After being unable to knock herself out she went inside to put some ice on the giant red blotch that was her forehead.

Naru tapped her pencil on the answer sheet. She had been fuming all last night and all today about Mutsumi and Keitaro going out... She snapped her pencil in half and her eyes burned, "I HAVE TO STOP THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!" She jumped up and grabbed her coat, making a mad dash toward the door... only to be stopped by a... HELICOPTER!

A short black-haired girl with a cat on her shoulder stepped out and addressed Naru, "Where is my Onii-chan?"

Naru gave her the weird eye, "Like I care. Now get out of my way." She tried to push past her but this crazy goth chick was stronger than she looked.

The girl walked down and then slapped Naru suddenly, "You should remember your manners, Miss." She then picked up Naru and threw her back into Hinata House. "Now... Tell me what you've done with my Onii-chan!"

She jumped up and charged at her, screaming, "I don't even know who the hell your 'Onii-chan' is!" She threw as many punches as she could and the girl just dodged.

She grabbed Naru's fist and forced her to her knees, "I...am Kanako Urashima. Where is my Onii-chan, Keitaro?"

She spat at the ground, "That pervert? I could care less where he is..."

Kanako drew back her hand and slapped Naru across the face, "Don't you dare talk about my Onii-chan like that!"

"EVIL CUTTING SWORD!"

Kanako threw up her arms and was thrown back a few feet, but just flipped onto her feet effortlessly.

Motoko walked to the top of the steps and whipped out her sword menacingly. "You have no business with us here. The one called Keitaro Urashima is on a...," she gulped, "...date."

Her eyes slowly narrowed, "...Where?"

Motoko jumped up and sliced down towards Kanako, "I'll die before I let an insane girl like you find him!"

She jumped away and pulled out a rope from behind her, "Insane, am I!" She threw the rope and caught it around Motoko's arm, pulling her up the steps.

Motoko let her arm go forward and then pulled it back with all her force, throwing Kanako down the steps as she pulled the rope off her arm.

Both of them were breathing hard, staring daggers at each other as Haruka walked out.

She took a drag on her cigarette and deadpanned, "Oh, Kanako. I didn't realize you were here..."

...BACK TO THE DATE!


The second after they clinked glasses together... the water exploded.

A certain white-haired psychopath cackled from above them and screamed, "That was a warning shot, Urashima, Keitaro! GIVE ME THE STONE OR EVERYONE WILL DIE!

Takeshi sighed and looked over at Mutsumi, "Forgive me, my dear... This will only take a moment." He jumped up out of his chair and hovered up to where the enemy was, bringing out the sounds of awe from the surrounding patrons.

He smirked at him, "You know... Your plan has only one flaw. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Now then, why don't we get this over with now, my steak's getting cold."

His opponent gritted his teeth in anger. "FINE! NOW DIE!" he growled, flying straight at Takeshi, energy flying off of his fist.

Takeshi just dodged, yawning.

A white lock of hair flipped in his face as the enemy grinned back at him.

Takeshi felt searing pain hit his stomach right where the punch flew by. He doubled and growled, "What the hell did you do to me!"

He smirked, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Takeshi growled again, forcing himself straight again, "...I thought I should let you off easy, but this time... your ass is MINE!" He charged blue energy into his hands and fired them both straight at the other combatant's face.

He smirked once more as he put his hands together in the middle of his chest (think Kamehameha Wave.) and charged up a massive ball of red energy, firing it just as the blue hit.

Takeshi watched the explosion disappate, the restaurant evacuating in a panic. His eyes widened as he saw his blows didn't connect.

Another smirk as his fingers crackled with energy and his eyes became red aiming reticules. His fists flew in a flurry as Takeshi was whipped and thrown around by more blows than he could see.


"So, Kanako... you're buying the Hinata House?" Haruka asked her, setting down her tea on the table.

"...Yes, Haruka-obaasan. Grandma doesn't think the dormitory is making enough money anymore..." She explained, taking a sip of her tea.

Haruka nodded, though inwardly cursing Kistune's rent-skipping ways. "Do you plan on letting the girl's stay here?"

She shook her head, "I need people to help me run the inn. Not lazy slackers... unless they want to work, that is."

Haruka sweatdropped.


Bokken- For those who don't know, it's just Japanese for "wooden sword"
-Onii-chan- informal Japanese for 'big brother'-Obaasan-aunt
Heeeeee! Cliffhanger! So... will Takeshi survive? Why is Kanako really buying Hinata House? And does anybody think Mutsumi is even REMOTELY aware of what's going on? ...Review. Now. THE BUTTON COMMANDS YOU!
