I do not own love hina
Greetings,
This text is an account of all I have learned in my time upon this earth. Inside I have recorded all of techniques that I have used and the reasoning behind them.
When this text falls into your hands dear reader I ask only one thing, that you learn this art and add to it. I have lived a long life that is now at its close. If you do not take heed and learn this art you will be unable to protect those that are dear to you from the coming trials.
Take this warning seriously. Not for yourself but for those that you love. If you do not than I fear for what might come to pass.

Chapter one - The Finding
Keitaro was minding his own business and moping the floor as he normally did. He was feeling pretty good today. No small part of that came from the fact that he had not been sent flying yet. As he passed over the kitchen he could smell Shinobu making lunch. As he smiled he thought about how this would be the last floor of moping that he had to do. Plus he was safe because the girls (minus Shinobu) were out in the hot spring.
Keitaro turned the corner at just the wrong instant and collided with Motoko. She had been carrying a towel and had obviously just come in from the hot spring. The force of the blow knocked her off her feet and onto Keitaro who had ended up on his back from the force of the collision. Keitaro found himself looking into eyes that were cold enough to freeze fire. Without a word she stood up and unsheathed her sword. Keitaro start backing away and trying to explain that it was an accident. He knew it was useless but somewhere deep inside him he believed that maybe this once he would be believed. The blade went up. The blade came down.
"Perverted no-good ronin!" these were the last words that Keitaro heard as he went flying up and over the balcony.
"Why does that always happen just before I finish the work? Why not after? Why not run into one of the girls that doesn't want to kill me?" Keitaro stopped an then amended "Why not when one of the girls that wants to kill me is not involved OR nearby?" The wind gave no answer. As he neared the ground he spotted Seta's van near where he was going to land. wonder what Seta's doing out here? Maybe he needs some help. The girls don't want me around right now anyway. That said he curled up into a ball and put his head between he legs. Not the cliff, not the cliff… "Not the cliff!" so saying he slammed into the cliff.
And the cliff gave way He skidded across a small cave and thanked his head against the table. Table? Keitaro groaned and stood up. Sure enough the cave that he was in looked more like a temple. Sitting in the middle on the table that he had just bumped into was a old looking book. The light from the hole he had made illuminated it and made almost glow.
"Hey part-timer. What's up?" Seta's voice broke through his examination of the old text. Keitaro turned around to see Seta sitting outside with several pickaxes and boxes of dynamite.
"Morning Seta. Come in and look at this book I found. I take it that this is your latest dig site?"
"Yep. But I'm sorry that I can't oblige you. I can't go in." Keitaro looked closer and realized that he was leaning on thin air about halfway through the tunnel. What! But how…? Keitaro's mind tried to reconcile what he was seeing before it gave up. This was Seta. He had seen Seta jump high enough to clear small buildings. He had seen Seta send a death ray back to where it came from with no more thought then he would give squashing a fly. That he could lean on mid air shouldn't be surprising.
That's when what Seta had said hit Keitaro. "What? Why not?" Oh, great. I am in a cursed area that even Seta dares not set foot in. Par for the course. Why Me? Keitaro stood, muscles tensed waiting for the lightning to strike. Growing more scared with each passing moment.
"Well it's like this. There is a barrier around that cave that you are in which none may pass. The barrier can withstand a hydrogen bomb and not break. However you made it inside. How did you do it?" Seta leaned on the wall of the barrier and smiled at the now confused innkeeper.
"Um… I don't know." Keitaro replied truthfully. "I just got a free air ticket courtesy of Motoko." Keitaro thought a moment before saying "Would you like me to bring out the artefacts?"
"That would help, While your at it check the writing in that book. Is it Tamanise? You know the ancient turtle language?"
Keitaro turned and picked up the book and opened it to the first page. At first he thought it was blank but after a moment words seemed to swirl out of nowhere and filled the page. Even though Keitaro knew that he had never seen the language before he could understand it. What in the? He turned to Seta and grinned. "No but here, look at this." So saying he walked over to where Seta was standing and handed him the book.
"Eh? Hey, that's odd. The pages are blank. What did you want me to see?" asked Seta looking at Keitaro leaning over his shoulder.
"No it isn't! It goes something like… 'Greetings, This text is an account of all I have learned in my time upon this earth.' I thought it was blank at first too"
"It still looks blank to me. Let's see what is the title…" Seta closed the book and looked at the front cover. "Now that is odd, it's in the ancient arcane script. Huh, I wonder what it says."
Keitaro looked at it for a second. "Oh. It just says 'Fighting from the Heart, Fighting for the Heart'"
"How can you read this?"
Suddenly Keitaro looked confused "I don't know."

And a cliff hanger…
First story I have ever wrote so a review or two would be nice. (Flames Wanted)
Each page will start off with a quote from the text and then the chapter will come after
Final thing. This happens when Shinobu is sixteen and a half and after episode 25 but before any of the specials. This will eventually be ShinKei
