1st Chapter – The Murder

Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina, if I did cupid would have a field day.

Author's Notes: I don't know how the Japanese justice systems works, so I'm going to make it up in later chapters. Also I haven't decided who the murderer is yet.

An uncharacteristic thick fog rolled into the Hinata province obscuring everything but the shadows. Two close friends who had by coincidence meet were walking home. Naru was starting to be concerned about her friend's sudden introversion.

"Keitaro has really become more mature ever since he got back from America hasn't he." Naru's friend stated with an odd monotone.

Naru felt odd with that comment but replied, "Yes, he certainly has. Being around Seta has really rubbed off on him. Those digs he's done has really put some muscles on him. Is there something wrong?"

"Do you love him?"

Naru couldn't comprehend why her friend was asking THAT question.

"Do you love him?"

Naru blushed and hesitantly said, "Yes. Yes, I believe I am. I don't think I'm ready yet."

"Why?" Her friend painfully said.

Naru was confused at what she meant. Her friend was acting very strange.

"Why do you have to love him?" she sobbed out as tears streaked down her face. "You can have any man out there but why do you want him?"

Naru didn't know what to say, it is true that she had always been popular with men but she never gave them any attention. Keitaro became special to her. He became someone who she wanted to start a family with. She wouldn't let him go, but her close friend loved him too. All the residents of the Hinata House loved him.

Naru tried to reach out to comfort her friend, to make her understand. Her friend stepped away from her.

Then pulled out and aimed a gun at her face.

Naru froze at seeing the weapon's silencer almost poking her eye.

"If you are gone he can be mine." She said with cold conviction.

"NO! PLEASE DON'T-!" Naru screamed before being cut off by a bullet entering her brain. Death does make it difficult to say things.
