ON WITH THE FIC
Early Evening
Hanku meditates on the rooftop of Hinata-sou, but with a look of struggle as he hears a voice in his head. A sharp, piercing, sinsister voice.
"hahahahahahaha……here I come…ready…or…NOT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Hanku flinches back into reality as he just sighs with exhaustion.
"No reason to dwell on him any longer; he's dead…and that's how it'll stay. Speaking of staying…"
Keitaro sits in his room, studying as always, as Hanku opens and waits at the door.
"Yo Kei!"
"Hm? Yeah, Hanku, what's up?"
Hanku tosses Keitaro a brown envelope with "Rent" written on the front.
"What's this for?"
"Well…if I'm going to be staying here, I'll have to pay the rent right?" (smirks and leaves)
Keitaro smiles as well-"Thanks, Hanku."
As Hanku walks away from the room he hears Keitaro shout and cheer
"YES! OH YES! I GOT IT RIGHT! Where's Naru? Gotta tell Naru!"
Keitaro bursts out of his room and starts heading for the hot springs.
"WAIT! KEITARO! NARU AND THE OTHERS ARE IN— (gets a look of interest) hmmmmm…"
Hanku runs afterKeitaro and they BOTH enter the hotsprings, simultaneously. Hanku quickly takes off and puts on Keitaro's glasses on himself. Naru and Motoko wind-up for their attacks, by instinct…
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING IN HERE?"
"I SAVED YOUR LIFE, ROYIAKI, AND THIS IS HOW YOU THANK ME!"
Hanku raises his hand-"Hold it!"
The two women come to a screaming halt in confusion.
"Keitaro doesn't have his glasses on, because I'M wearin' 'im. Keitaro can't see clearly, and neither can I, so we can't see ANY of you at all, so…we'll just be leaving."
Naru gets a look of suspicion and walks up to Hanku.
"What is it, Naru?"
"If you're wearing Keitaro's glasses…and we're in the hot springs…then why aren't the lenses fogging up?"
(sweatdrops)-"UMMM……"
Naru pokes Hanku's eyes through the glasses and proved that the lenses were taken out. Instantaneously, Naru punches Hanku dead in the face and sends him flying.
As for Keitaro, he was just simply thrown out into the living room. The landlord could only jaw drop in shock.
"Holy crud! They showed mercy!"
Meanwhile, Hanku just made his landing a few blocks away from the apartments.
"……ow……geez…She seems to hit harder every time! Oh well."
Hanku begins to fly back.
"Ironic. I'm known as the superior fighter and I get my butt served by two young women no older than 18! What is this world coming—AHHH!"
Hanku is interrupted by a bird flying just in front of his face causing Hanku to lose focus on his flying…in other words, he begins to fall into Hinata-Sou through the roof!
Keitaro, whom was just about to head back to his room, "broke" Hanku's fall! The two tumble, turn and twist around until they bust through a wall and come to a stop…at a wet area. Both are dizzy and have spirals in their eyes.
CRASH! SPLISH!
"Owww…Nice 3 point landing, Hanku."
"Oh, shut up! I'd kick you swiftly in the butt right now if it wasn't for the fact that I'm drenched and you appear to be just as wet as I am."
"Naw…you think so?"
"Smart a-……wait……"
The two young men were right back where they started…in the hot springs with 2 VERY ticked off women whom are about to open up another can of whoop-ass on 'em. Kitsune, however had look of interest.
"Hmmm…two peepings in 30 seconds. I think that's a new record Keitaro!"
Naru and Motoko give both men STRONG death glares.
"I swear, if you two do this one more time………you're gonna regret it!"
"If you wish to have children in the future than I suggest you listen to Narusegawa's warning."
"Now, BEAT IT YOU PERVS!"
Once again, sent flying into the night sky, were two men praying for a safe and non-violent night!
Later, Keitaro and Hanku sit in Hanku's room, not moving an inch.
"Hey Hanku. I'm getting hungry, don't you think we should eat?"
"I don't trust fate bringing us good fortune Kei! We stay!"
"Sheesh why do you have do be so paranoid?"
"WHAT! YOU HAVE INSULTED ME! I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO A DUEL!"
"HUH? Oh c'mon Hanku! You and I both know you could kick my –SLAP!"
Hanku stands with a glove in his hand after just striking Keitaro with it.
"HAVE AT YOU SIR!"
(sweatdrops)-"……forget it."
"Forget? Forget YOU!"
Hanku walks out of Keitaro's room heading out to the balcony, as he turns his head, while walking, and sticking his tongue out at Keitaro. He should've watched where he was going.
Hanku falls over a railing onto rocks.
"WAAHAA! (lands) OW! EH?"
To his dismay, yet luck, Hanku sees all of the girls asleep in the springs.
"WHEW! It seems Kitsune couldn't keep all the sake to herself."
Keitaro rushes out and leans against the railing.
"Hey! What happened? Han—SNAP—WAAA!"
Keitaro's weight breaks the wooden railing as he falls right next to Hanku. (both guys will be whispering now)
"We're in luck, Kei! They're knocked out! We can still creep our way to the door and we're home free!"
"Great, but we have to go clear across the springs and the girls are ummm…"
"Don't look! I'll go in front, you stay close to me and don't let your eyes leave the back of my head, okay?"
Keitaro now trying to avoid a nosebleed-"Okay"
Slowly but surely the two make it across the springs. Now they have the door in sight. Keitaro's nosebleed however begins to drip into the small puddles creating small droplet sounds.
"Hey we did it! Home free!"
"Um Hanku."
"What?"
Hanku turns and sees Motoko and Naru with demonic eyes staring at them, not saying a word, while getting ready for the beating(s).
"How could they've heard your nosebleed Kei?"
"No clue. What do we do now?"
"I got it! You…try to calm them down…"
"Eh-heh"
"…and I'llllllllll…RUN!"
"WHAT!"
Upon ending his statement Hanku runs off in a rush with a petrified look. Keitaro soon follows suit. Both men, already upstairs neck-and-neck with two women closing in on them discover two hallways and split up. Motoko following Hanku; Naru following Keitaro. (They quickly got their clothes on……anyway, moving on)
Hanku quickly finds his room to the left, skids to a halt, enters and slams the door. Motoko continues her chase as Hanku hears Keitaro's wailing for help. Hanku opens his door, pokes his head out and sees Keitaro running in his direction.
"Kei! In here!"
Keitaro stops on confusion-"Wha?—AAAHHH!"
Hanku yanks Keitaro in just before Naru was in sight, as she too passed by the room. Both men have their ears pressed against the door taking deep breaths. Hanku looks at Keitaro.
"Take a peek outside and see if the coast is clear."
"Righto"
Keitaro sticks his head out and suddenly instant sounds of beating is heard as Keitaro closes the door with a pretty beat-up face. Hanku gives a blank look.
"Are they still there?"
In a dazed tone-"Still lurking about."
"I tell you what, how 'bout if you go outside and act as a decoy and I'll make a clean getaway."
"No more for me, thanks. I'm drivin'."
Keitaro collapses down and out.
An hour later, Keitaro wakes up in a very tight, enclosed space.
"Uggghhh…Wha…Where am I?"
"Don't tell me you forgot about the secret passageways here. Didja'?"
Hanku crawls in front of Keitaro with the door to Hanku's room behind him.
"Here, Kei. Grab a snack. We're gonna be here for a while."
Hanku lays a few bags of chips, soda, and other sorts of snacks. Keitaro had to admit that the tunnels in Hinata-sou weren't the most comfortable of all places, especially with the fact that you have to lay down to move around the place.
"Just how long do you plan to keep us in here, Hanku?"
"Until those two hot-heads cool down, at least. You might wanna get comfortable since it's nearly 11 at night right now. I'm shutting my eyes in a few minutes myself. G'night."
Keitaro was lost and confused at what was currently happening, but he did understand that if he went back up there, Motoko and Naru would gang up on him, and after seeing what they both did to Hanku, he didn't want to suffer the same fate. He just had to go with the flow for now.
"Um…Goodnight."
End of chp. 14
Please excuse my late update. I'm not having writer's block and I'm not planning to stop working on this fic. HELL NO! The best is yet to come, but then again it's also the worst. I don't think I did as well in this chapter as I have done in the past, but the future chaps will be SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!
