Chapter 3

So, Narusegawa, how was your day?

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

(Author's Note: For those of you who wanted to know if this is a self insert, I guess you could say yes, though I probably wouldn't act like this! Well, enjoy chapter 3! If my Japanese grammar is wrong, please help me learn how to compose sentences... I'm not that great yet! R&R... SERIOUS NARU BASHING! Literally too! )

Returning from the hotsprings, Kumiko sighed... 'I wonder how she is doing... I don't really think I should trust her though... maybe... no wait... what if she is pretending to be upset so that I will give up Kei? If that is true... I'm not so sure about this...' Kumiko began to believe that Naru was dead set against her... and of course, as Kumiko normally was, she was right.

"That filthy beast! How dare she try to take the one thing I hoped for in life away! I will make sure this dosen't happen!" she said, her eyes suggesting that she was scheming an outrageously devious plan.

"Naru?" Kumiko said knocking on Naru's door cautiously. She tried her best to sound like Mitsune, and when she did, she ran away, leaving only this on the door.

Donna baka ga anata suru desu ka?

Anata wa bakabakashii desu!

-Mitsune-

What kind of idiot do you take me for?
You are foolish!

-Mitsune-

Kumiko quickly ran away, and since Mitsune was in on the project, she had nothing to worry about. She went to Keitaro's room, and to her surprise, found him there. She wondered what people around here did all day. She decided to ask Keitaro out on a date.

"Kei?" Kumiko quietly asked.

"Yes Kumiko-san?" he replied in the same tone.

"Will you accompany me to the Sakura Omatsuri?" she said, referring to the Cherry Blossom festival that they were having near by tonight.

"Oh... yes, I would love to Kumiko-san!" he said happily, "Just let me prepare my self."

Just then, Keitaro thought about Naru. 'Why does that girl haunt my life? Gee whiz! She is all over the place! It's like she wants to kill me... we'll see who gets the last laugh this time!' he thought, then began to get ready. Meanwhile, Kumiko left another note on Naru's door.

Keitaro-kun wa ishoni tsuite iku watashi ni made Sakura Omatsuri kono ban desu.

-Kumiko-

Keitaro is accompanying me to Cherry Blossom Festival this evening.

-Kumiko-

Kumiko was sure this would enrage Naru, so she left to go show Keitaro her beautiful geisha's kimono.

"Keitaro... you like?" she said sweetly gesturing to her kimono. With this, Keitaro's nose began to bleed, and Kumiko merely laughed. Her kimono was a solid aqua color, with a cherry blossom design on it. It reminded her of the nightsky in the springtime, and it was the perfect kimono to where to the Sakura Omatsuri. Though Kumiko new that it hadn't been right to do that to Naru, she still decided that Naru deserved that. Kumiko and Keitaro, holding hands looked like the perfect couple walking down the Hinata House steps, but it looked like a horror movie with Naru following behind in all black clothing. Naru looked like she was ticked off extremely, so she decided that she would follow them to see what happened.

"Watashi wa futari no ugoki o chibu-bukaku kansatsu shite iru" Naru said under her breath. She wasn't going to let herself down on this situation she was in. She watched Kumiko and Keitaro so closely, she could have been considered a stalker, or better yet, a top spy. She was everywhere they went together, and following Kumiko every step of the way. At one point she couldn't find them, and then... WHAM! Naru was hit on the head with a brick and was lying in the mud.

Kumiko smiled, brushed off her hands and went back to her beloved Keitaro.

"Kei! I found someone was stalking us! Can you believe that Narusegawa would do such a thing?" Kumiko said sweetly, though she new that Naru was dead-set against her.

"I do see what you're talking about. Of course she was going to stalk us... do you think she's mad at me?" Keitaro asked.

"No, Kei, I know that she is mad at me. I think she was in love with you, and then, well, then she really didn't know what to do when I came. She feels as if I have taken you away from her." Kumiko said, even though Narusegawa had mentioned earlier not to say this to Keitaro.

Keitaro turned a bright red, and then he said, "Well, now that we found out why she's mad, don't you think we should apologize?"

At that moment, Narusegawa awoke from her daze, and still muddy all over, walked up and kissed Keitaro hard on the lips. Naturally, Kumiko was stunned, and she just stood there as Keitaro kissed back. Kumiko's mouth was gaping open, and she was so stunned that when Kaolla Su came and poked her, she tipped over.

"Kei!" Kumiko said still on the ground.

"Kumiko... I-I... I'm so sorry... just... don't..." it wasn't working, instead, Naru kissed him again.

"Keitaro! Why don't you love me anymore? I was waiting for the perfect time to tell you..." Naru said, and she started crying.

"Kumiko! I'm sorry... but, you didn't believe me--" Naru started but was cut off by Kumiko's punch.

"Keitaro! I can't BELIEVE YOU! YOU ARE STILL IN LOVE WITH THAT NARU FREAK OF--" she began, and in mid-sentence, Keitaro began to French-Kiss Kumiko.
