(crawls over to the computer)

……ughhghhh….sorry. I've had a hell of a time trying to keep up with my college work. And family. And friends. I have had time where I could've worked on some of my fics, but then Kingdom Hearts 2 came out and…well, let's say I've learned the meaning of being a fanboy, since the game kicked so much ass. Auron, especially. If there's one character outside of FF7 who could go toe-to-toe with Sephiroth and having a chance of winning, it'd be him. FCK CLOUD. . ………….maybe I shouldn't have said that….anyway, here's chapter 3 of Shichinin no Naru. I'm really sorry about the wait.

I do not own Love Hina. The rights are property of Ken Akamatsu.

Chapter 3: The Next 2 hours…from Motoko's point of view. (That is the chapter title. Guess why.)

Motoko managed to wake up with a huge ringing in her head, as if she got knocked unconscious. Or had a lot of alcohol to drink.

Motoko: Yaaaahh…dammit my head…

Suddenly, Motoko was glomped from behind by someone wailing their head off.

Crybaby Naru: WAAAAGHHH! Motoko, what's going on! First Angry Naru wakes up and starts breaking down buildings in her path, and then the police come by, start firing at her and-

Motoko: Wait, HUH! THEY FIRED AT HER! AS IN WITH GUNS!

Crybaby Naru: sniffle ..yeah, but she just dodged all the bullets, and any that got really close to her she punched away…

Motoko: O.O……….shit….we need to find her.

Crybaby Naru blanched back as if she was stricken by Motoko's words.

Crybaby Naru: ..b-b…but she's mean….and throws things at people….sniffle

Motoko began to get seriously irritated with Naru. Wait, scratch that. This part of Naru's personality. This person, who looked like the woman she looked up to and then competed for Keitaro's affections for, was nothing like Naru. What she was feeling must have showed on her face, as Crybaby Naru shrunk back like a child, as if petrified by her. Which only pissed off Motoko more.

Motoko: Can't you show some backbone, for God's sake! Why Keitaro fell for you I-….I'm sorry.

Crybaby Naru looked a bit surprised at how Motoko's expression changed.

Motoko: I'm sorry. You're not Naru. Or, you're not FULLY Naru. I guess I should be a little more careful with what I say. Can you forgive me?

Motoko holds out her hand to Crybaby Naru, with a sincere look in her eyes. After several seconds, Crybaby Naru took her hand, and the two of them went off looking for the others.

23 minutes later…

Motoko hadn't seen any of the other residents of Hinata House. However, she did see plenty of people who, at catching sight of Crybaby Naru, ran away at break-neck speeds, so she assumed that Angry Naru was close by. What she saw, though, was the results of Dynamic Naru being loosed upon the population.

Motoko: O.o….holy cow…

Apparently, Dynamic Naru had started firing a laser rifle she swiped from Su's lab on the populus. As of Motoko finding her, she was still going at it.

Dynamic Naru: BOO-YAH! Lasers, explosions, fire, oh my! THIS IS AWEZOME! Like out of a Van Damme movie!

Su: Wow! I didn't know that laser would be this effective! This field test is great!

Motoko ran to Su, pulling Crybaby Naru with her, who was starting to sniffle at the wreckage, and began to yell at Su.

Motoko: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE! Why aren't you trying to stop her!

Su: I was planning on doing something along these lines anyway.

Dynamic Naru then leaped from where she was (which was over ten meters away), and landed right in front of Motoko and Su.

Dynamic Naru: Watch'a doin'?

Su: Just playing with Motoko. (big grin)

Dynamic Naru: Cool! I wanna play!

Motoko, thinking on her feet, took advantage of where the discussion was heading.

Motoko: Naru…how about playing "hide and seek"?

Dynamic Naru: Hmmmm…hide and seek isn't that much fun…do you have any special rules to spice it up?

Su: I've got one! You've got to find everybody by…..tomorrow at noon, or the device that made the six different Naru(e?)s will explode, making a seven kilo-ton detonation.

Motoko had to replay that information in her head before she understood what it meant.

Motoko: WHAAAAAAAAAAT!

Crybaby Naru: …w-what does sniff that mean?

Motoko didn't want Crybaby Naru to go into a mass panic, so she kept her mouth shut, but Su almost spilt the beans about what it meant.

Su: It means that everybody-MPPHHPHHH

Motoko (whispering into Su's ear): If you tell her what will happen, so help me, I will NEVER let you make another Mecha-Tama for as long as you live.

Su: But, you'll have died of old age before I die of old age. So that won't happen.

Motoko: Do you want to face the wrath I'll have from BEYOND THE GRAVE? Tsuruko will seem a fraction as scary as I will be if my spirit CURSES YOU FOR ETERNITY!

Su: o.o……………………………………………………….okay.

Elsewhere, in Kyoto…

Tsuruko: choo! Is someone talking about me?

Tsuruko's husband: Don't worry about it. Now, let's get back to what we were doing. (grins)

Tsuruko: Oh, something to do with your "turtle"? (smirk)

Back to Motoko…

1 hour, seven minutes later (a total of an hour and a half)…

Motoko, Su, Crybaby, and Dynamic Naru managed to find Kitsune and Kanako about 32 minutes ago (Kitsune was passed out from drinking all the beer and vodka she looted from a nearby store), and had them come along in order to find the others within the district. The times they met other people, different reactions came. A few ran away, while some were congratulating one of the Naru(e?)s for a good job getting everyone calm and fixing up the crushed buildings from the main explosion at Hinata House before seeing the other Naru among the party and saying they needed to take some medication, and the rest were commenting on how Dynamic Naru beat everybody on DDR at various arcades, gaining perfect scores on most of the songs.

Kanako: So, this is the Naru that has the energy of a thousand five year olds.

Su: I'm thinking this part of Naru is actually the origin of where the original Naru gets her uber-strength. Although she probably can only access it when she's angry.

Kanako: Which would explain why Angry Naru has uber-strength as well.

Motoko glanced in Kanako's direction at that time, seeing her look up on top of some of the two and three story buildings, seeing Dynamic Naru jumping on the roofs like Spider-Man.

Kanako: …this is crazy…

Motoko: Not as crazy as you wanting to become your step-brother's wife.

Kanako eyed Motoko viciously.

Kanako: I'm not giving up on him. EVER.

Motoko threw an irritated glance in Kanako's direction.

Motoko: I don't intend on giving up either. But you do realize that he chose Naru over you and me. He cares for us, but he LOVES Naru.

Kanako: (pointing at Dynamic and Crybaby Naru) You mean that Naru or that Naru?

Motoko: (shaking her head)…nevermind. It's your turn to carry Kitsune.

Kanako: -.- No. I carried her for fifteen minutes last time. You've only carried her for twelve.

Motoko: You're going to hold me over for three minutes, when I have a massive backache?

Kanako: You're not the one who had to fight Angry Naru when you accidentally ran into her.

Crybaby Naru: sniff Please…no more fighting…I can't stand seeing you all like this…

This got Kanako and Motoko to seriously consider the predicament they were in.

Kanako: Fine. Truce. Until we get this problem of Angry Naru busting up everything in her way solved, we work together.

Motoko: (slightly grins) Sounds good.

Just then, Su's stomach made a loud, audible rumble.

Su: Eheh…sorry. What time is it, anyway?

Kanako looked down at her watch, stating it was 7:16 at night.

Motoko: The others must be moving around looking for us. I just hope Shinobu has found one of the others besides Angry Naru.

1 hour and 27 minutes elapsed…

Motoko and the others passed by an area of town that was completely unharmed. After walking through a large portion of the district, they were surprised that the damage that resulted from the explosion at Hinata House wasn't as big as they thought. Most people were still doing what they usually do during the weekend. They saw a large group of people milling into a local bar. At first, Motoko thought nothing of it, but then Dynamic Naru took a look inside and yelled to them about two young women who were getting tipsy from the first drink.

Kanako: ….didn't Keitaro say that Shinobu couldn't hold her liquor, when he accidentally gave her white wine?

Kitsune (she was awake at this point, with a massive headache): Whatever the case, I need a drink.

They walked into the bar, seeing a crowd of men and women cheering around a table near one of the windows. Motoko, getting a closer look, was surprised to see Shinobu and Easygoing Naru knocking back drinks.

Shinobu: gulgglugglguuglug AAAhhhh! (slams the glass on the table) Keeep 'em comin'! I could goooo allllll nigh'. Woooo!

Easygoing Naru: YEAAAHh! God, I've got such a buzz!

Shinobu: (staring Easygoing Naru down) Naa-ru. When am I gunna have boobs lik' yours, huh? I want bigger tits, now!

Shinobu reaches across the table and gropes Easygoing Naru's breasts a bit, much to the applause of the men in the bar, and some of the women.

Easygoing Naru: Ha-HAAA! You want boobs lik' mine? Yer getting' clos' aready!

Easygoing Naru reaches across the table and gropes Shinobu's breasts back, with Shinobu moaning a bit. The guys in the bar started going wild, yelling about two women on the floor getting it on with each other.

Easygoing Naru: (wide grin) Ooooh, ya like that, huh?

Motoko, blushing, had had enough, and decided to get involved.

CLIFFHANGER! MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Alright. I'll be honest. The way I'm having the story progress, this will be a short fic. Eight chapters at the VERY most. So, I'm going to increase the craziness from here. Also, I have a third Love Hina fic that's out right now, called Mr. UrashimaMs.Mikamura. Some of you may have already read it. I will spare you the details, as it's midnight my time at the time I'm finishing this chapter. Anyway, I will put up chapter two for that fic within the next two months. Yes, I said MONTHS. I've been insanely busy. Don't worry though. Chapter 2 of dothack/CRAZY will be up this weekend. It took me a long time to come up with a suitable base for that chapter, but you should be pleased. And keep an eye out for a Kingdom Hearts 2 parody fic. I just came up with a ton of ideas to put down for it. The thing is, it will be a one-shot. I only intend to put up one chapter for it, since it's all a bunch of skits and outtakes on the game that I thought up while playing it. I promise I will work on updating more. As of right now though, it will still be problematic. As soon as my second semester of college is done (which is in three weeks), I should have more time to devote to writing. So, just be patient a little longer. Until then, happy reading/writing!
