Take Me Away

A Love Hina Fanfiction

(I don't own Love Hina!)

Chapter One

Kumiko Moves In

-------

Kumiko walked up the long flight of stairs. "Wow, it's a whole lot bigger in person..." she said, only to have seen the Hinata House before in pictures in the manga Love Hina.

"I always wondered what it would be like to live here... and I guess now I can experience it, since I'm moving to Tokyo University."

She started to hum to herself a song she had written.

When you are far away

I am crying inside

you aren't here today

my my my

Ohhh

I loved you so much

But now you're gone away

Hey stay by my side today

Her childhood sweetheart had left her a long time ago, well, more she left him when she moved away from Hinata. They had promised each other that they would get into Tokyo University. She couldn't remember his face, though he'd probably changed by now, so she decided she would go by his name, or the nickname she called him when she was younger, Kei. If he was still in Hinata, she would make sure they were reunited.

When she arrived at the front door of Hinata House, she was greeted by Keitaro Urashima.

"Hello, you must be our new resident, Kumiko." he said.

"Yes, and you are?"

"Keitaro Urashima" he smiled.

Kumiko stared blankly, Kei? Is this Kei?

She then said, "Haven't I met you before?"

"I don't know... maybe we can talk more later... aren't you moving into Narusegawa's old room?"

"Yes, 307 I believe."

She walked up to 307 and started to unpack. She turned her radio on, and she heard that 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt was on. She loved that song so much, and she wished it were Keitaro singing it to her. She blushed when Keitaro came into the room.

"Oh, Keitaro... Hajimemashite." Kumiko said politely.

"Uhm, yes, Kumiko, I am wondering... my aunt Haruka said you used to stay in the Inn when you were younger, and she said that you and I were good friends... do you perhaps have a picture of yourself when you were younger?" he said.

"Oh, yes... Kei" Kumiko said.

She handed him a picture from her suitcase.

"Kumi?" He said, remembering finally what the girl from his childhood was called.
"Kei?" Kumiko smiled.

"It's really you?" he said.

"Yes, its me Keitaro... I remember you..."

He embraced her.

"I am so glad I finally found you!" he smiled.

Chapter 2

The Relationship Begins

-------------

Kumiko had just moved into the Hinata House, and was already headed towards her new future. She had found the boy from her childhood, and they were surely going to be together forever. Well, after the reunion of theirs, they talked for a long time about what they were going to with their lives, their majors, and other things college students talk about.

Kumiko's major was singing, and she was going to pursue it. Somehow, they actually did have a singing major at Tokyo University, so she was able to start her career as a singer. She loved the way that now she could actually have a boyfriend, as she had studied very, very hard to get into Tokyo University. Even though she was a really wonderful singer, she never actually thought she would get to become a singer. She had always dreamed about being on American Idol, or a similar show to it. She loved the thought of becoming famous, and being loved by millions all over the world. She had already planned out the song she would sing for her debut album-- when she got one. Though she never really though much of it until this day, she remembered that girl from a long time ago... wasn't her name Mutsumi? The girl that helped Keitaro and Kumiko make the promise to each other. Kumiko wondered where she had been.

"Keitaro, you wouldn't happen to know a Mutsumi Otohime?"

"In fact, I do!" He smiled.

"Isn't that so weird! I am reuniting with all of my childhood friends!" Kumiko smiled. Just then, Naru walked in the room.

"Oh, Keitaro, I was... just coming to get the rest of my things..."

"That's fine Narusegawa... have you met the new resident Kumiko? She's the girl I made my promise to!" he said smiling like a 6 year old.

"Oh, that's nice..." she didn't look particularly happy about this though...

"Is something the matter Narusegawa?" he asked.

"Iie..." her voice quivered. She briskly walked out of the room.

"I wonder what's the matter?" Kumiko sounded concerned.

Kumiko finished unpacking her things, and then scurried down the hall to Narusegawa's new room, 314. She quickly knocked on the old door.

"Hai?" Naru's voice called from inside.

"Sumimasen...Not to intrude... but I just want to know what's the matter..." Kumiko said.

"Oh, I'm fine... don't worry about me, besides, the reason is stupid anyway!"

"No reason is ever stupid." Kumiko said.

"Well, its just that, before you came... Keitaro was in love with me... and I had started to fall for him... and now that he finds out that you are his promise girl... oh forget it."

"Gomenasai Narusegawa-sosama. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble..."
"Don't sweat it, I'm sure things will work out..." she said quietly.

"Okay." Kumiko said, and headed downstairs for the hotsprings.

When Kumiko reached the hotsprings bath, she wrapped her sky blue towel around her and splashed into the hotsprings. The warm sensations she was getting from the bath were flowing through her entire body. She let out a big yawn, and raised her arms above her head.
