Note: I do not own Love Hina and I'm not really sure who does—other then Tokyo pop for publishing it in North America.
Dear Diary,
Life is great. Before last week I probably would never have thought to say that. But ever since that kiss… that second kiss—which felt like the first none the less—was great. It was like Keitaro had said all those years ago. "It doesn't matter how many times you kiss some one, as long as your heart beats fast each time you do." That may not be the exact words but that was the point.
Mei seemed happy for me and she actually congratulated me with lunch. It was a fast food restaurant so I could tell she still wanted him, though every time they pass Mei kicks him. When I first returned Sara was ready to spit on me, or something of the like. When she saw Robert with me though, she smiled. She hugged me and told me that she was the nicest person she knew.
Naru checked Mei and she's still a virgin. Mei seemed quite relieved by this and once again she seems to like him.
I have to wrap this up soon because Kaolla's about to show up. According to her letter her big brother and sister are not coming with her. I bet Sara and Kaolla are going to go out of their way to make hell for Keitaro, if not then maybe Robert. Let's hope neither of those, okay?
"So who is this girl?" Robert asked Sara.
"She's not a girl," Sara said. "She's the leader of an entire country."
"She's the wife of the leader of an entire country," Shinobu corrected.
"Yeah but he didn't have to know that," Sara said rolling her eyes.
Shinobu smiled. "You're going to have fun this week I'm sure."
"So when's your date?" Sara asked.
"Tonight," Robert said smiling.
"Is she here yet?" Naru asked rushing into the room, dragging Keitaro behind her.
"Nope," Motoko—who was holding a sign saying "couldn't you visit sooner?" with a picture of Tama on it—said.
"We don't expect her," Shinobu said, "until-"
"Whoa Keitaro is still a weakling," Su said with a jump kick to Robert's head.
"-now," Mitsune finished Shinobu's sentence.
"I'm not Keitaro," Robert said.
"You're not?" Kaolla said looking at Naru who was still dragging Keitaro. "Who cloned Keitaro?"
"This is Robert," Mei said helping him back up. "He's here from Canada. He's also necking with Shinobu now."
Robert blushed.
"Hey Shinobu found a boyfriend," Kaolla said hugging Shinobu. "What a coincidence that he looks so much like Keitaro."
Shinobu sweat dropped and blushed.
"Hey your husband looks like Keitaro," Naru said.
"But a hundred percent more handsome," Mei said with a grin.
"Hey I'm handsome," Keitaro said.
"In bizaro world," Sara said.
"Burn," Shinobu managed through the grip that Kaolla had around her.
"Hey Su," Sara said, "got any cool new inventions?"
"Yeah!" Su said pulling a mechanical contraption from out of thin air. "I upgraded Mr. Cherry 2.0. Introducing Mr. Cherry 2.5!"
She slammed the device onto Roberts head.
"Not again!" Shinobu screamed running off and Robert chased after her, his lips puckered.
"But Shinobu the kiss will be great," Kaolla yelled chasing after them.
Keitaro sighed.
"Who else wants to come?" Keitaro asked rushing after them.
Mei got off the couch and started off.
Shinobu was screaming as she ran down the hall way. She made it outside to the balcony where the clothing was flapping in the wind while being dried. She closed the door behind her. Less then five steps and the door smashed open.
"Don't hate me Shinobu," Robert begged. "It's not my fault."
"I know," Shinobu shrieked.
Shinobu felt her legs bump into the railing. She turned around and saw Robert flying at her. She bent backwards and Robert flew over him. He was quickly over come by gravity and fell down to the ground. Dust flew up high enough for Shinobu to see. Mei grabbed Shinobu.
"Are you okay?" Mei asked.
"Just a little shaken," Shinobu said.
"Shinobu!" Keitaro said—some how Mei had gotten in front of him—running onto the balcony. He took one step too many and fell over the railing.
"Keitaro," Shinobu said looking over the railing.
Keitaro fell right on top of Robert who was getting up. The door slid down stairs open and Naru ran out. Robert, who still had the Mr. Cherry on his head, kissed Naru. Motoko rushed forward to try to pry the Mr. Cherry off. Robert turned around and started to kiss Motoko. Motoko closed her eyes blushing.
"It must be good," Shinobu said. "I mean since Motoko hadn't snapped yet."
"Oh that's a strange device," Mutsumi said as if popping out of no where.
Motoko finally had the frame of mind to kick Robert off of herself. She drew her sword and took a swing cutting the Mr. Cherry off Robert's head with out touching Robert some how.
"Your device needs fixing," Motoko said sheathing her sword.
"You didn't need to do that," Kaolla said picking the Mr. Cherry up off the ground.
Robert got up. "Owww my back."
Shinobu rushed downstairs.
"Hey Robert," Shinobu said. "We still are going on our date tonight right?"
Shinobu lent over and kissed him. Robert stood up really fast.
"Hell yes!" Robert said.
Shinobu was wearing a backless dress and a V-neck. She had her hair tied up in a bun and she had blue lip stick that matched her hair. The dress was a sparkling red. Robert was wearing kaki pants and a green golf shirt which was tucked into his pants with a belt. He had his hair straight down.
"So where're we going?" Shinobu asked.
Robert pointed at a McDonalds.
"I see you won't be getting any," Shinobu said coolly.
"I'm just joking Shinobu," Robert said. "Remember how I said I love you?"
Shinobu smiled. "Then where are we going?"
Robert took Shinobu by the hand. He led her down the street to the nicest Restaurant within walking distance from Hinata.
"You know this is very expensive right?" Shinobu asked.
"I know I just love you that much," Robert said.
"No really, we could go some where that you can afford more," Shinobu said.
"Well my reservation stands," Robert said. "It's just something that I can't break it. It's kind of like a promise, you know?"
"Oh," Shinobu said, "what kind of promises have u made?"
"Well you know," Robert said. "A little of this and a little of that. I'll tell you during dinner."
Shinobu smiled as Robert took her elbow in his and escorted her into the restaurant. She pulled her chair out for her and then sat down him self.
"I'm like a walking cheesy romance movie," Robert said chuckling nervously.
"No it's really nice," Shinobu said.
"Really?" Robert asked.
"Uh-huh," Shinobu smiling across the table.
Robert's heart melted. Shinobu's smile was lighting up the whole room, dimmed for romantic effect.
They ordered their dinner and the waiter took their menus. Shinobu turned to Robert.
"So what's this promise?" Shinobu asked.
"Well…" Robert said unsure where to start. "When I was younger, there was this girl. She and I became good friends, and then some. Well one day she was talking about growing up and going to the same University. It's kind of stupid, and well I've found you so the girl might be disappointed."
"That's sad," Shinobu said. "Keitaro made a similar promise and ended up with Naru instead. I can't think of how sad that girl felt when she got into university and she saw Keitaro on the other side of the Garden, and then Naru comes out and kisses him."
"That's really descriptive," Robert said. "Did you meet this girl?"
"No," Shinobu said. "It's just, you know, sad."
The date was over, and Robert and Shinobu retired to Robert room.
"So tell me more," Shinobu said kissing Robert on the cheek. "Why did you and this girl chose to go to Tokyo U when you live in Canada?"
"Well," Robert said thinking back. "We were both ten years old and she told me of this story that if two people go to Tokyo U together they would fall in love forever. She was on a student exchange program from Japan and she said her sister actually feel in love with some one who she had made a promise with to get into Tokyo U."
"It really is Romantic," Shinobu said.
"Oh I have a picture of her," Robert said. "It's with a few of her friends who were on the trip with her. Problem is I can't remember which one she is."
Mei stood up in her room. She knew that Shinobu and Robert were on a date but she needed to talk to Shinobu. She got up and walked to Robert's room.
"…made a promise to get into Tokyo U."
"It really is Romantic."
"I have a picture of her. It's with a few of her friends who were on the trip with her. Problem is I can't remember which one she is."
Mei quietly opened the door and looked inside.
Shinobu was looking at a picture. Her eyes widened. Her mouth opened in shock. Robert was moving to kiss Shinobu but she stood up. She dropped the picture and lent over to pick it up. Robert's kiss landed on Shinobu's butt cheek.
"Pervert!" Mei yelled running into the room kicking Robert in the jaw.
Shinobu dropped the picture which landed face down. Robert grabbed it off the ground.
"What's wrong Shinobu?" Robert asked.
Shinobu gave Mei a cold look, with tears in her eyes, and ran out of the room.
"I heard…" Mei said. "A promise to go to Tokyo U?"
"A girl," Robert said, "when I was ten. She was a foreign exchange student for half a school year."
Mei's mind went blank. "Oh that's cool." She said and turned to go.
Ten years old, Mei thought. Foreign exchange student. That cold look. The picture. No wonder the name Robert was so fucking familiar.
Mei ran into her room and looked through her book shelf. She found her diary and flipped to eight years ago when she went to Canada for half a school year to study as a foreign exchange student.
She flipped to the right page—from 2001—and started to read in her head.
Dear Diary,
I'm the only one of the exchange group that doesn't speak English well. I can make basic conversation but not much more. Because of this the teacher had me sit beside this kid named Robert. Because his dad works for a company whose head office is in Japan; his dad had him learn Japanese so that when he needs to go there on Business he can take his family. He's kind of cute and since I've been in Canada I've taken a liking to him.
I don't really know what he thinks of me though. I talked to one of my friends and she says I should tell him. I'll do it some time tomorrow… I hope.
Dear Diary,
I haven't told him yet but today my friends and I went to the mall with him. There was a picture booth and we went in. There was a copy for every one.
Mei picked up the picture that was in between the two pages. Her arm was around a ten year old Robert. He was smiling.
I swear that I'll tell him tomorrow, I'll get him alone at lunch time.
Dear Diary,
We kissed! It was so good. My heart stopped beating for a second and then it raced like a cheetah. It was only for two or three seconds but it was my first. I told him about Tokyo U and how Keitaro and Naru got in together. I told him that it two people get in together they would live the rest of their lives together.
He said yes. We kissed again.
Mei held the Diary up to her breast, hugging it. She smiled while at the same time feeling sorry for Shinobu.
"I win," She said with a smirk.
Mei sat beside Robert. She held a picture of her self with she was ten.
"What do you want?" Robert asked taking the picture.
He inspected the picture for a few moments.
"That's me," Mei said pointing to herself. Then she showed him another picture, the same one he had.
"So you know… knew the girl?" Robert asked.
"You idiot!" Mei said turning the picture over.
She pointed at the words spelt in English.
"I'll meet you at Tokyo U in eight years. Love Robert."
"We switched photos as part of the promise," Mei said.
"But I don't remember seeing any words on the back of my picture," Robert said picking out his own and turning it over.
There was a black smudge at the bottom right corner of the paper.
"You idiot," Mei said giving him a playful noogie.
"So is this a yes to me asking you out?" Robert asked. "Shinobu seemed a little sad about something; I don't think she wants to go out with me anymore."
"We'll see," Mei said. "Remember that we need to get into Tokyo U first, and I have to talk with Shinobu."
Mei turned to go. Her heart raced. She closed the door. She pushed him to the ground and kissed him, lifting up his shirt and rubbing his chest.
"You got me this one time," She said lifting up her own shirt over her head.
"Just don't kick my ass this time," Robert said letting his hand be guided to her breast.
"Last time didn't happen," Mei replied with a moan.
No one reviewing? well i still gotta write this thing any how.
