A/N: I have good news and bad news. Good news is that after a year, I finally produced this chapter. The bad news, it's the not the final chapter that I had promised. Someone said that it would hard or impossible to finish all up before and I'm sad to say they were right. For real though, after this chapter is going to be the final chapter. As for my reason as to why it has taken me a year to do this, I have no excuse. It just took me long to do this. Anyway, here's the chapter of For His Own Sake.

Chapter 27

Keitaro was gingerly opening his eyes and the he glanced around.

"What am I…?" Keitaro asked himself and then he recalled what had happening before he passed out, "Oh right…"

Keitaro looked and then he noticed that he was sitting in a chair tied up and then he looked and saw that he was in a building.

"Where the hell am I?" Keitaro asked.

"You're awake," A female voice said.

Keitaro looked over and saw someone sitting in a chair and it was Kagura.

"Huh, who are you?" Keitaro asked.

Kagura smiled as she stood up walked towards Keitaro and then she stopped in front of Keitaro.

"It's nice to finally meet you Keitaro Urashima," Kagura said, "I'm Kagura Hajime."

"Kagura Hajime…" Keitaro said, "I see, so you're her."

"Oh, have you heard of me?" Kagura asked, "From Nagisa I assume."

"Yeah, that's right," Keitaro replied, "and none have been pleasant."

"I thought so…" Kagura replied.

"So, what's going on here?" Keitaro calmly asked, "Why do you have me tied up here?"

"Because it would be a problem for us if we didn't have you tied up," Another female voice said.

Keitaro looked and saw Chisato and Naru and Mutsumi were with her. Keitaro sighed as he was not happy to see Chisato.

"Chisato Ichimura," Keitaro spoke.

"My my Keitaro," Chisato said with a smile, "how nice of you to remember me."

"Of course I do," Keitaro replied back, "but not in a pleasant way."

"Oh come now Keitaro," Chisato said, "surely you don't mean that. I would have thought that you would be happy to see me."

"How can I be happy to see someone who had my cousin beat up back in high school?" Keitaro asked bitterly, "How could I be happy to see someone who had to lie and cheat through her academics? Not to mention what you said back then in high school was a lie."

"It wasn't my fault," Chisato replied.

"The hell it wasn't," Keitaro replied back.

"Don't act like you were innocent," Chisato said as she was a bit annoyed.

"I'm not," Keitaro said, "I know I was part of the problem. I'm guilty but I at least admit that I was wrong. I've been wrong about a lot of things in the past and you're one of them Chisato. I never should've believed a word you said. Anyone else would have had the common sense to not let you do what you did."

"You are so full of yourself," Naru said.

Keitaro looked and saw Naru who walked and then stopped and crossed her arms while glaring at Keitaro. Mutsumi was with her and she had a look of concern for Keitaro.

"You're still the same idiot that you've always been," Naru said.

"Oh that's rich coming from you," Keitaro shot back, "you're the idiot who's full of herself participating in this kidnapping," Keitaro shook his head, "I'm genuinely shocked, I'm genuinely shocked that you and Mutsumi would actually do this dirty trick."

"It's not like you gave us much of a choice," Naru insisted.

"No, you had a choice," Keitaro replied, "and made this despicable choice so don't make it seem like it's on me," Keitaro sighed, "look, I don't know what you're planning to do with me but I strongly, strongly suggest that you stop this. Just let me go and we can move past this because if you go through with whatever it is that you're planning, it'll just been a lot worse for you and I'm serious when I say that it will be a lot worse."

"Shut up Keitaro," Naru said coldly, "you have no right to be lecturing any of us."

"Keitaro, I know this isn't a pleasant situation for you," Mutsumi said, "but please see that we're really trying to help you."

"You're not helping me," Keitaro said calmly, "what you are doing is digging yourself deeper," Keitaro sighed, "you know Mutsumi, I've talked to you about this and the problem is that you simply refuse to listen and what's annoying about it is that you have no absolutely intention of ever doing so. You just want to go with what you want," Keitaro then looked at Naru, "surely you can't agree with what Mutsumi is going on about."

"Keitaro," Mutsumi said feeling hurt.

"You're just a stupid perverted idiot Keitaro," Naru said harshly, "although I do actually agree with you in what you just said."

Naru then glared at Mutsumi who just shook her head.

"You two are just being…well shy," Mutsumi insisted with a strained tone in her voice.

"No you refuse to listen," Naru said and then she pointed at Keitaro, "I don't ever, ever want to get back together with him."

"Naru…" Mutsumi said with a sad expression and then she shook her head in denial, "no, you don't really mean that."

Keitaro sighed and shook his head, "This is just sad."

"Mutsumi, why are you insisting that I get back together with this pervert?" Naru asked angrily and she pointed her finger at Keitaro, "This pervert has ruined my life. He always has and he made things worse for me. You know that I suffered because of him," Naru threw a hateful glare at Keitaro, "and I will never forgive him for it."

Keitaro gave a humorless chuckle as he shook his head.

"There you go again," Keitaro said, "blaming me for your own actions that led you to your own misery."

"But it is your fault!" Naru insisted angrily, "You're the cause of everything that went wrong for me when you ran away like a coward. You screwed up on things and yet you're going on all happy and full of joy while I'm the one who suffered in every turn and it's because of you," Naru clenched her teeth in anger, "you're the one…you're the one that who got me expelled from Tokyo University. You did it when you conspired with that woman!"

"Naru, we're both screw ups," Keitaro said, "but do you know what the difference is in that regard?"

"What?" Naru replied with a glare.

"I at least acknowledge my bad habits and take responsibility for what I've done and that most of the bad things that happened to me is the result of my own bad choices," Keitaro explained, "but you Naru insisted on blaming everyone else instead of accepting the fact that everything that had happened to you recently was all you. For all the time that I've known and spent with you, that part of you has never changed. You still refuse to acknowledge of the bad things you've done and instead, you rather point the finger on someone else. That is what you've always done Naru and you have no intention of changing that, no intention in thinking about the things you've done and admit that it was all you and that Naru makes you nothing more than a coward and a spoiled brat."

Naru was livid and punched Keitaro hard. The punch caused Keitaro to fall back along with the chair and fell on the floor.

"Keitaro, you idiot!" Naru screamed in rage.

Naru went on and started punching Keitaro again and again and Mutsumi tried to stop Naru by pulling her away from Keitaro. Kagura and Chisato simply looked on as they watched Naru continue to pummel Keitaro.

"Naru, please stop!" Mutsumi pleaded loudly.

Mutsumi somehow managed to pull Naru away from Keitaro who was still tied up in the chair and was on the floor. Keitaro was bleeding from the mouth and had some bruises with his glasses crooked with one of the lenses broken but he didn't much care and just looked at Naru with a glare.

"Well Naru," Keitaro said in a venomous tone as he spit blood from his mouth, "did you enjoy yourself? Did it make you feel good about yourself?"

Naru just looked at Keitaro and was even angrier at the expression Keitaro was giving to her. Naru couldn't stand the defiant look that Keitaro was giving her.

"All right, that's enough of that," Kagura said as she clapped her hands, "Naru, you need to calm down."

"After what he said to me…" Naru responded turned to Kagura.

"We know," Chisato said, "and that's exactly why you need to calm down. Don't give in to his childish taunts."

"Childish taunts?" Keitaro spoke up, "All I did was spoke the truth and Naru just responded as she always does. She never likes it when people call out on things that are true."

"That's enough out of you," Kagura said as she grabbed Keitaro's hair, "you seem to have develop a bad habit of running your mouth, saying whatever the hell you want," Kagura narrowed her eyes at Keitaro, "if you keep it up, I may have to—"

Kagura stopped herself and looked away.

"What, you'll kill me?" Keitaro spoke with a glare, "Are you going to pommel me to death just like you did to Takeru Oyame?"

"Keitaro, stop!" Mutsumi spoke upset, "Don't say such things. Of course she's not going to kill you and what happened to Takeru Oyame was a terrible tragedy."

Naru looked away feeling uncomfortable and Chisato placed her hand over her face.

"Don't you start," Kagura said, "don't start talking like Nagisa and her friends. You don't know a damn thing."

"I know that you murdered someone in cold blood," Keitaro spat, "Nagisa told me everything."

"You don't know anything," Kagura spat back, "Nagisa doesn't know anything either," Kagura looked away from Keitaro with a frown, "he wasn't suppose to die."

Keitaro narrowed his eyes at Kagura and then he thought about all of his friends and family and felt regret.

"It'll be my fault if Nagisa, Yoshinari, or anyone else get led to this trap," Keitaro said in his head.

Tokyo University

On campus, Ohana was talking to Seta and Takeda and she told him what she had witness which led to both teachers being in shock.

"Are you certain of this?" Takeda asked.

"Yes, I know what I saw," Ohana said, "I saw Mutsumi taking part of it as well."

"Keitaro," Seta said and then he frowned, "I never would have imagined that Naru and Mutsumi would do this," Seta looked at Ohana, "thank you for informing us Ohana."

Shinobu's High School

The two men in suits nodded as Shinobu had just finished talking to the two men in the faculty office.

"Thank you Miss Maehara," One of the men in suits said, "that will do."

"Sure," Shinobu said, "then I will take my leave. I'm willing to answer any more questions that you may have."

"We appreciate it," The second man in a suit said.

Shinobu bowed to the men and left the office and the men in suits discussed the next step to each other and they also spoke with the teachers and thanked them for their cooperation. Meanwhile Shinobu was walking through the hall and then went outside. She stopped for a moment and looked at the sky began to reminisce of the times she spend in the Hinata Inn and when she met the others.

"Those were good time," Shinobu said to herself and then she had a sad expression, "I'm really sad about all this. It felt genuine…but at the same time, it wasn't," Shinobu thought about Keitaro and blushed, "Senpai…"

A Chinese Restaurant in Osaka

There was a middle aged woman with dirty blonde hair who had her eyes closed. It was Mitsuko and she just handed a plate of food to one of the customers with a smile and customer smiled back and was excited to start eating. Mitsuko nodded and headed back to the counter. The door opened with the bell ringing. Mitsuko looked and saw Mitsunari and was happy.

"Oh Mitsunari," Mitsuko said.

"Hi Mom," Mitsunari said with a smile.

"Well don't just stand there," Mitsuko said happily, "sit down. I'll be there soon."

"Sure and Mom, I brought someone with me," Mitsunari said.

"Hmm?" Mitsuko responded.

Mitsunari looked back and signaled someone to come and it was Mitsune and she looked nervous. Mitsuko was shocked to see her daughter.

"Mitsune," Mitsuko spoke.

"H-Hi Mom," Mitsune said.

"Well, I certainly didn't expect to see you here," Mitsuko said.

"Yeah…um, so how are you these days Mom?" Mitsune asked feeling nervous.

"Fine," Mitsuko said, "serving a lot of customers these days," Mitsuko said, "well go ahead and sit in a table you two. I'll be there soon."

"Sure Mom," Mitsunari said.

Mitsune and Mitsunari sat in a table and waited for their mother.

"It doesn't seem like Mom was happy to see me," Mitsune said with a sad expression.

"Don't worry Mitsune, all is taking one step at a time," Mitsunari assured.

Mitsune felt a bit better, "Thanks and you're right, I just have to keep working on it."

"Exactly and I'll help you as well," Mitsunari said.

"Mitsune," Mitsuko spoke.

Mitsune and Mitsunari looked at their mother.

"Hi Mom," Mitsune said nervously.

"I have to say that I'm shocked that you would come back," Mitsuko said.

"Y-Yeah, I know," Mitsune said.

Mitsuko sat between her son and daughter.

"So Mitsune, why did you come back?" Mitsuko asked, "As I recall, you were quite clear in saying that you were never going to come back and that you would be fine staying at that place, the Hinata Inn. So what happened? Oh, let me guess, you got evicted, didn't you? The owner of the place must have finally got fed up with your irresponsible behavior."

Mitsune didn't like her mother's tone but she had expected it since she recalled that she left in bad terms.

"I deserve it," Mitsune said, "I was such a pain. I just came back to make up with you Mom and I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

"And what makes you think that you can just come back here just like that?" Mitsuko asked bitterly.

"I know I've hurt you in the past Mom," Mitsune said sadly, "I'm really, really sorry for it. I came here to atone for what I did, how I acted and I want to assure you that I've changed."

"You'll have to excuse me if I find it hard to believe you," Mitsuko replied.

"I know," Mitsune said, "I have a lot to make up for and you know it's understandable that you won't believe me right away. I know I've been a pain when you tried to help me. Even so, I still want to try Mom…I really do. Is there any way you can give me a chance?"

"Mom, I would like to ask the same thing," Mitsunari genuinely said, "Is there any way you can give her a chance?"

"You actually believe her?" Mitsuko asked Mitsunari.

"Yes I know she's being genuine," Mitsunari said, "I can always tell. I know she's not like Dad."

Mitsune clenched her teeth at the mention of her father and Mitsuko thought about it and looked at her daughter. Mitsuko wanted to believe Mitsune but it was hard for her to do so and she sighed.

"It's not that easy," Mitsuko said.

"I know," Mitsune said, "I know I'm asking a lot from you Mom but I'm serious when I say that I'm sorry for being a horrible person and that if you'll let me, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

Mitsuko looked at her daughter and then she looked at the side and wondered if she could really believe her daughter's word.

"Please give me a chance," Mitsune pleaded, "give me a chance to show with my actions and then you decide."

Molmol Embassy

Amalla was on the phone with Lamba and she had frowned.

"So you thought it was a good idea to confront Keitaro Urashima and hold him responsible for what Kaolla did?" Lamba asked not sounding pleased.

"It really was his fault," Amalla insisted, "he and the rest of them at that inn are the ones to blame."

"The very least they may be guilty of is not reporting Kaolla's dangerous actions in the first place but they are not to blame for everything that Kaolla did," Lamba said, "Kaolla is responsible for her own action. She's not a child no matter how much she tries to present herself as one."

"I know and I'm not saying that Kaolla isn't responsible for what she did but I'm saying is that they are a bad influence," Amalla said, "mostly Keitaro Urashima is real bad influence. He has caused nothing but trouble"

Lamba sighed, "You want to talk about causing trouble? How about the fact when you had Shiro attempt to eat Keitaro Urashima and one Kentaro Sakata on one occasion or how about the fact that you tried to sleep with Keitaro Urashima in your attempt to make Kaolla give up and come home. I understand that Keitaro Urashima was beaten as a result when those other girls accused him of being a sexual deviant and you did nothing to stop it nor did you tell the truth."

Amalla was shocked when he heard Lamba say those things.

"W-Wait Lamba, I was just trying to help Kaolla," Amalla said nervously.

"All you really did is cause trouble," Lamba said, "and frankly, I'm surprised that your actions with Shiro didn't land our country in deep water in the past."

Amalla got upset with what Lamba said.

"Lamba, this isn't about me," Amalla said, "this is about Kaolla and what's she has done."

"…You're right, this is about Kaolla," Lamba said, "and that is why there is nothing that can be done. Kaolla caused serious problems and she has to face the consequences for her actions and going after Keitaro Urashima or any of the tenants of the Hinata Inn will not help in the matter."

Amalla just had her head and nodded.

"Do you understand Amalla?" Lamba asked.

"Yes…yes I understand," Amalla said.

Moments later, Amalla hung up the phone and sighed sadly.

Shichimura Apartment Complex

In the Aoyama Family Apartment, there was a ringing on the phone that was placed on a small drawer next to the couch. Nagisa came by and answered the phone.

"Hello?" Nagisa responded, "Aoyama Residence."

"Hello Nagisa," Kagura responded on the other line.

"Kagura," Nagisa said with a venomous tone, "What the hell do you want?"

"It's time that we settled things between us," Kagura said.

"What are you talking about?" Nagisa asked.

"Do you remember what I said back in the supermarket?" Kagura asked.

Nagisa was confused and then she flinched as she remembered something.

Flashback: Supermarket

"There's someone you seem to be getting close to," Kagura said as she put her finger on her forehead, "what's his name…hmm…oh that's right, Keitaro Urashima."

Nagisa's eyes widened as she looked at Kagura surprised as Kagura had a wicked grin.

Flashback End

Nagisa was wide eyed and clenched her teeth in anger.

"Kagura, you better not have Keitaro," Nagisa said angrily.

"I think it's pretty obvious," Kagura replied.

Kagura did an evil chuckle and it made Nagisa angry.

"If you want to see Keitaro again, you'll have to come," Kagura said, "oh and don't involve anyone else into this. You just come alone. Refuse and Keitaro will suffer for it."

"Kagura, you bitch!" Nagisa said livid, "Why are you involving Keitaro? He has nothing to do with this?"

"Yelling and cursing at me is not going to help you," Kagura said calmly, "anyway the place to come…"

Kagura was telling Nagisa where to go and Nagisa clenched her teeth and clenched the receiver of the phone. After hearing Kagura's instructions, Nagisa hung up the phone and was sad as she dropped herself on the floor.

"Why did this happen?" Nagisa said upset, "Keitaro has nothing to do with this. How dare her…how dare her using Keitaro. Keitaro had had been through enough. He doesn't deserve this," Nagisa clenched her teeth and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I don't have a choice. I have to help him," Nagisa then had a cold expression, "Kagura has gone too far this time. She's not going to get away with this."

Hinata Inn

Yoshinari walked down the long stairs of the family inn. As he was getting to the end, he saw Haruka who was standing and smoking a cigarette.

"Don't you get tired of those disgusting things?" Yoshinari asked.

Haruka looked back and saw Yoshinari.

"Oh Yoshinari," Haruka said.

"They are not good for your body," Yoshinari said.

"I know that," Haruka said as she proceeded to take another puff, "but it's my choice to make."

Yoshinari sighed, "I know but I just want you to live longer."

"You're sweet," Haruka replied.

Yoshinari stood next to Haruka.

"Say Haruka, did Seta come by to speak to you?" Yoshinari asked.

"Yeah he did," Haruka said, "first he apologized for the things that happened and then he said he wanted to start over with me and him."

"Oh, that's nice," Yoshinari said.

"Yeah, it is," Haruka said, "I'm willing to give it a shot."

"A lot has happened," Yoshinari said.

"Yeah and to think this all started on the day that Keitaro left this inn," Haruka said and then she sighed sadly, "I'm ashamed of myself that it took me so long to realize."

"Haruka…" Yoshinari said.

"It may be a lot sadder for you both," A female voice said suddenly.

Haruka and Yoshinari looked and were annoyed to see Chisato was all smiles.

"Chisato," Yoshinari said.

"Hello Yoshinari," Chisato said.

Haruka stood in between Yoshinari and Chisato.

"What the hell do you want?" Haruka said glaring at Chisato, "You've made a huge mistake since you decided to come here. I guess I do need to involve the police."

"You can relax," Chisato said, "I'm not here to try step in the property. I just want to show you something."

"Really?" Yoshinari replied with glare, "Well we're not interested in whatever it is."

"Actually you'll want to see what I plan to show you," Chisato replied.

"Okay that's it," Haruka said annoyed, "it time for you to leave right now."

Chisato showed them a picture to Haruka and Yoshinari and they were shocked to see that it was a picture of Keitaro tied up in a chair.

"Hey, what the hell?" Yoshinari asked upset.

"Now do you feel like listening?" Chisato asked with a grin.

Haruka and Yoshinari looked at Chisato with glares.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Haruka asked.

"Hmph Yoshinari, I'm sure it would be upsetting for you to see your cousin harmed," Chisato said, "You wouldn't want him to suffer like you did back in high school."

"Chisato," Yoshinari said with a growl.

"If you don't want any harm to come to Keitaro, you'll have to come with me," Chisato said with a glare, "right now."

"And what makes you think that I'll believe you?" Yoshinari asked, "You're a liar and a cheat so I don't see keeping your word."

"Besides, there's no point of Yoshinari going along with this," Haruka said, "I'll just call the po—"

"If you do that, you'll never see Keitaro again," Chisato interjected, "if you don't believe me then go ahead and try and see what happens. Keitaro is at a place where you don't know about. All I have to do is make a quick call and Keitaro will be taken and you'll never see him again," Chisato grinned, "I'm sure that it won't sit well with you two. I bet it won't sit well with his parents, his sister, or his friends for that matter."

"You would go this far?" Yoshinari asked angrily.

"I swore that I was going to get you back for what happened," Chisato said still glaring at Yoshinari, "now you're going to do what I say unless you don't care what happens to Keitaro. This time, there will be no one to help you and so with this, don't even inform your own parents of what's going on."

Haruka and Yoshinari clenched their fists and then they looked at each other and then they glared at Chisato who was confident that things were going as planned.

"It will much worse when Keitaro declares to be on our side," Chisato said in her head, "Kagura will be getting him with her charm."

Hinata City Park

Naru was sitting on a bench and thought about the university she had worked so hard to get in and how she felt that it was all stolen from her.

"Naru?" A female voice said.

Naru looked and was surprised to see Motoko and she saw that Motoko was not in her usual gi and hakama that she would usually wear but instead wore a light blue shirt, jeans, and white shoes.

"Motoko," Naru said as she stood up from the bench, "I'm surprised to see you here."

"Yes but what are you doing Naru?" Motoko asked, "Why aren't you at Todai? You usually have class at this time, right?"

Naru looked away and had a sad expression.

"Yes, that would be the case normally but it is no longer a fact," Naru said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Motoko asked.

"I was…I was…" Naru cringed sadly, "I was expelled."

"Wait what?" Motoko replied shocked, "You were expelled?"

"Yes and it's because of Keitaro!" Naru said angrily.

"How do you mean?" Motoko asked.

"I don't know how he did it but he somehow conspired with that woman and convinced the Board to expel me."

"Naru, are you sure?" Motoko asked, "I don't think Keitaro is capable of such a thing."

Naru shook her head, "I know he did. It's the only thing that makes sense. Keitaro is hell bent in ruining my life. This is his doing, it has to be!"

"Naru," Motoko said as she had a sad expression and then she shook her head, "I believe that you're mistaking."

"What?" Naru replied shocked as she looked at Motoko.

"Keitaro may be many things," Motoko said, "but he's not one who would intentionally get someone expelled."

"Motoko, what's going on with you?" Naru asked suspiciously.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Motoko asked.

"You're defending that pervert," Naru said, "why?"

"I just think that we shouldn't blame Keitaro for everything that has happened," Motoko pointed out, "and besides he's not really a pervert. He never was."

"What are you talking about all of the sudden?" Naru replied shocked, "Of course he is."

"No," Motoko replied back shaking her head, "he's not a pervert. He has more respect than that. It should have been obvious to us a long time ago."

"Keitaro?" Naru replied, "What's with you calling him by his first name?"

"Why, is that a problem?" Motoko asked.

"I…guess not but still," Naru said, "why are you defending him? Have you forgotten everything that has happened? Keitaro started this whole misery for us. He even influenced Shinobu to turn on us."

"No Naru," Motoko said, "we did that to ourselves and we haven't exactly been understandable and respectful to Shinobu as well."

"Motoko, I don't understand," Naru said upset and then she shook her head, "you know what? It doesn't really matter right now. I don't know why you're acting strange but it will be okay."

"Huh, wait, what do you mean?" Motoko asked.

"Keitaro is going to learn his lesson today," Naru said, "in fact his jerk of a cousin Yoshinari will learn his lesson as well. Oh and Nagisa as well as I know you've had a hard time with the way she treated you," Naru smiled, "but don't worry, she'll get hers as well. She won't be able to act so big and better than you."

"Naru, what's going on?" Motoko asked suspiciously.

"Huh, well I met these two people who understood my situation and said that they would help us," Naru informed, "in fact, it was Mutsumi who introduced them to me."

"I see," Motoko replied not liking what she was hearing, "Naru, these people you met, do they go by the names Kagura Hajime and Chisato Ichimura?"

"Huh, oh yeah," Naru replied impressed with Motoko, "How did you know?"

Motoko flinched and had her head down and then she faced Naru with a serious expression.

"Naru, don't do this," Motoko said.

"Huh, don't do what?" Naru asked confused.

"Whatever it is that you're involved in with those two, stop it right now," Motoko said, "Mutsumi needs to get out of it as well."

"Wait what?" Naru replied shocked, "Motoko, what are you saying?"

"There is a reason that I came back and it was to stop those two," Motoko said.

"What, why?" Naru asked shocked.

"They are horrible people Naru," Motoko said, "in fact one of them, Kagura Hajime is a killer."

"That was an accident," Naru replied.

Motoko was shocked, "Wait, what? Naru, did she tell you that?"

"Yes Kagura did tell me what happened," Naru replied, "She never intended to kill someone and I admit that I was quite disturbed by it…but she went through the court and they deemed Takeru Oyame's death as an accident."

"That doesn't make it any better!" Motoko said upset, "It doesn't change the fact that she killed someone and you're okay associating with someone like that? I thought you were better than that!"

"Nothing's going to happen!" Naru insisted, "And Keitaro is going to get taught a lesson and his cousin and your cousin are going to get off their high horses. Don't you see Motoko? I don't understand why are you're upset? Why are you against this? Why are you so concern for that idiot pervert who ruined our lives in the Hinata Inn?"

Motoko was frustrated and couldn't believe what was going on and at the same time she knew why Naru was going down this path.

"Naru, I'm going to say this for your sake," Motoko said, "please don't go through with this. Help us stop them."

"Motoko…" Naru said surprised.

"Naru, if you go down this path, it will only be worse for you and you'll suffer the consequences for your actions," Motoko said, "Naru, I'm begging you please, don't do this. You and Mutsumi should get out of this," Motoko smiled, "if you and Mutsumi stop this, you won't get much trouble. If you change your minds on this, I can talk to Keitaro and convince him and my family on your behalf."

Naru was shocked and she had the expression of someone who felt betrayed.

"You let him get to you, didn't you?" Naru asked upset.

"Naru," Motoko said.

"I should have known," Naru said angrily, "you let that pervert get to you or maybe cracked under the pressure of your sister who betrayed you. So you betray me as well?"

"Naru, you're not making any sense," Motoko said, "Just please calm down."

"No, I won't listen to you!" Naru replied angrily, "I thought you were better than this! But I guess in the end, you're the same as the others and you just buckle down," Naru sneered at Motoko, "I guess you're not much of a warrior after all or maybe you lost it when you were sent back to Kyoto."

Motoko frowned as she didn't like the things that Naru had said.

"You don't know a damn thing," Motoko said coldly, "You're just as bad as I was or worse!"

"Excuse me?" Naru replied upset at Motoko's tone.

"You heard me Naru," Motoko said, "You really don't know anything. I didn't know anything either but I finally opened my eyes and finally realized the things that were obvious but I ignored them. Naru, I'm going to be honest with you. I know what you and Mutsumi are planning with those rotten girls but all you two are doing is digger yourselves deeper to the point where you'll never be able to recover."

"You don't know a damn thing Motoko," Naru replied back, "at least I haven't forgotten my resolve and thrown away my pride."

"I admit that I don't have the right to talk about pride," Motoko replied, "but Naru that goes the same with you," Motoko sighed, "well it seems that woman that tipped us was right."

"Woman?" Naru asked, "What woman?"

"Someone who knows how vile Kagura Hajime is," Motoko said.

"What?" Naru reacted surprised.

Mutsumi's Apartment

Hina had arrived back in the apartment and when she entered, she looked and saw no one was around.

"Mutsumi!" Hina called, "Naru!" Hina was confused, "Did they go somewhere?"

The phone suddenly rang and Hina looked over and went to answer the phone.

"Hello?" Hina answered.

The person spoke on the other line.

"Yes it's me," Hina said.

The person spoke on the other line and Hina shook her head.

"No, I don't know where Mutsumi and Naru are," Hina replied, "there were gone when I just got back."

The person on the other spoke again and Hina was shocked and mortified.

"A-Are you sure about this?" Hina asked.

The person on the other line reacted angrily and Hina shook her head and realized what was going.

"I had no idea that they were going to do this," Hina said, "I told her to not have anything to do with those two. She was suppose to listen to me and now she got Naru involved," Hina shook her head as she was upset, "look I'll—"

Hina was interrupted by the person on the other line and Hina got upset.

"But I…" Hina spoke but then she had a sad expression, "I know, I know," Hina shook her head and had her thoughts, "Mutsumi, why didn't you listen to me?"

Hinata Police Station

Officer Nikawa was sitting in his desk on the phone with someone and he nodded at what he was told.

"Okay, I understand," Nikawa said.

Nikawa waved at one of his fellow officers and the officer went to Nikawa and was told of a certain situation.

A Park in Nerima

Akane was sitting on a bench with her thoughts and she sighed sadly.

"It's not the same," Akane said sadly, "without him around."

"Akane," A female voice called.

Akane looked and saw it was her eldest sister Kasumi. Kasumi sat next to Akane and was told what had happened between her and Ranma.

"I see," Kasumi said sadly, "so Ranma really has no plan to ever come back."

"Pretty much," Akane said sadly as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Akane," Kasumi said sadly.

Akane looked at Kasumi and then she shook her head.

"No, it's not your fault," Akane said, "It's my own fault. I drove Ranma away."

"I made things worse," Kasumi said, "we all did. Me, Nabiki, Daddy, Uncle and Aunt Saotome, the others here in Nerima…all of us."

"Ranma said that both he and I were too immature to continue with the relationship we had," Akane said, "he was right."

"I see," Kasumi said, "anyway Akane, why don't we head home?"

"…Okay," Akane said and then she frowned, "but I don't want to talk to Daddy…or the Saotomes for that matter."

"I know," Kasumi said, "and I understand."

"Nabiki," Akane said, "is she still trying to get the dirt on the Aoyamas?"

"Yeah, she is," Kasumi said with sadness, "I just wish she wouldn't resort to blackmailing people."

"She has done it for years," Akane said, "it's just only recently that we really noticed."

"Yeah, you're right," Kasumi said.

"Beside, even if Nabiki does find dirt on the Aoyamas, it won't make a difference. Ranma still won't come back. I mean, she already tried to blackmail Ranma and Ranma didn't even flinch, didn't give in to her demands."

Kasumi stood up and looked at Akane, "Let's go home. I'll make something that you'll really like."

"Yeah sure," Akane said as she stood up, "thank you for indulging me. I know I can be a real pain most of the time."

"Don't worry about it," Kasumi assured as she held Akane close to her, "under these circumstances, it is best that we stick together."

"Yeah," Akane said with a nod, "you're right."

Akane and Kasumi went on their way to their home.

Shopping District, Hinata City

Kazuya was walking and with him was Ranma, Nyamo with her turtle Gidget, Zack, and Duncan and they met up with Haitani and Shirai.

"Great, glad you guys are here," Kazuya said.

"Yeah, thanks for letting us know what was going on," Shirai said.

"Well we have my cousin Tsuruko to thank for that," Kazuya said.

"Let's do this," Haitani said, "our buddy is in trouble so we have to help them out."

"Yeah, I'm worried about my sister," Kazuya said.

"Keitaro," Nyamo said with worry.

"Don't worry," Ranma assured, "we'll get to them on time. Both him and Nagisa."

Nyamo looked at Ranma and nodded in agreement, "Y-Yes, you're right Sensei."

Maximum Security Prison

Su was sitting in her cell and she had a dead expression. Su shook her head and came out of it and saw a guard and knocked on the bars.

"Excuse me!" Su called.

The guard looked at Su and raised an eyebrow.

"Huh, what do you want?" The guard asked.

"I want to make a call," Su requested, "I want get in contact."

"You already had your phone call," The guard said.

"I know but that was to my sister," Su said, "I want to get in contact with Big Brother Keitaro."

"You already had one phone call today," The guard said, "You're not getting another until another time."

"Please, it's important!" Su said in urgency, "I need to talk to Keitaro. He'll really help me."

The guard glared at Su, "You're not getting another phone call, end of discussion. Now be quiet in there!"

"Listen to me!" Su said upset with tears, "Please!"

"Be quiet!" The guard shouted angrily, "Not another word!"

The guard left and Su fell on her knees and clenched her teeth in sadness.

"Why?" Su said as she started to cry, "Why won't things go as I want to? I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be bad. I didn't know that what I was doing was harmful. I didn't mean it. Please Big Brother, please forgive me! I didn't mean to hurt everyone at the Kuromitsu Inn. I was trying to help out. That's all I was doing," Su shook her head as she was still crying, "I'm not a monster! Please believe me, I'm…I'm not a monster!"

Su broke down and continued to cry.

Somewhere on the Hinata Street

Seta was driving his van and he was upset as he had learned from Ohana of what was going on.

"Naru, I've never imagine that you would go so far," Seta said, "I'm partly to blame. I've been a damn fool for so long. I swear I'll make this right. I'll help Keitaro in any way I can…for Haruka's sake."

St. Clavius Boarding School

Sarah was sitting in a room all alone and she looked out of the window and saw other students on campus having fun on their breaks and some were heading to their dorms. Sarah pouted as she was angry and stood up from her seat and tried to open the door. She tried to break the door open and kicked it as she screamed for someone to get her out and ranted that they didn't have the right to treat her like this.

"Get me out of here!" Sarah yelled, "If you don't, you'll be in so much trouble! When I get out, I'll tell people and then you will all be in trouble."

The door suddenly opened and the headmistress simply glared at Sarah.

"Stop with the noise child," The headmistress said.

"I want to go out!" Sarah demanded glaring at the headmistress, "You can't treat me like this!"

"Actually we can," The headmistress countered, "because you're a problem child."

"Just you wait," Sarah said pointing her finger at the headmistress, "I'll tell on all of you and then you'll all be in trouble!"

The headmistress simply sighed and shook her head.

"It seems that you still don't understand," The headmistress said, "well that's okay," The headmistress glared at Sarah, "you'll eventually understand that you can't have everything your own way. Especially not here in St. Clavius."

Sarah clenched her teeth and suddenly felt shaken with fear.

Shichimura Apartment Complex

Ritsuko was in her apartment typing something on her laptop computer. She sighed as she stopped and stretched her arms.

"This should do for now," Ritsuko said.

Ritsuko's phone suddenly rang and Ritsuko looked over and went and answered her phone.

"Hello?" Ritsuko answered.

The person on the other line spoke and Ritsuko arched an eyebrow.

"Oh my, I'm surprised that you would call me," Ritsuko said.

The person on the other line continued and Ritsuko shook her head.

"You can forget it," Ritsuko said, "I'm never going back. It's clear to me that you never loved me from the beginning. You were just using me," Ritsuko sighed, "No, I knew that from the start but I believed that if I worked hard for you, you would finally genuinely love me back. But that was never the case. It's clear that you only love her and nothing that I or anyone else would do could ever change that. I'm done working for you. I'm done destroying the lives of children including your own son."

Ritsuko listened to what the person said and Ritsuko frowned.

"Stop it," Ritsuko said upset, "trying to guilt-trip me to go back to you will not work. I know what I've done and I have to live with the burden forever but nothing you say or do will ever get me to go back to NERV."

Ritsuko listened to what the person said on the other line and she scoffed off what the person said.

"You go ahead and try and see what happens," Ritsuko said.

Ritsuko hung up her phone and sighed as she shook her head and placed her hand on her forehead.

"That selfish egotistic bastard," Ritsuko said.

NERV Headquarters

In the large office, Gendo Ikari sat in his desk and angrily slammed his phone on his desk.

"That damn bitch," Gendo said in anger, "She thinks she can just walk away from this? I'll teach her."

The NERV commander calmed down and then he picked up his phone again and dialed. He got a response.

"Yes it's me," Gendo said, "I need you to take care of something."

Somewhere over a bridge, Hinata City

Tsuruko in her own casual clothes was looking over the river with Kanako who was in her school uniform with Kuro resting on her shoulder.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Tsuruko asked.

"My brother is in the clutches of those evil witches," Kanako said, "of course I'm going to do everything to help him," Kanako frowned, "Naru and Mutsumi, they have gone too far. I'm going to make sure they pay severely. Oh and don't worry, I'll help your cousin Nagisa as well."

"Thank you," Tsuruko said, "well then, let's go. Have you told your parents?"

"Yes, they already know and doing their part as well," Kanako said.

"Then let's go," Tsuruko said, "my grandmother should be waiting for us by now."

Kanako nodded as she and Tsuruko walked to go meet with Etsuko.

"Don't worry Keitaro," Kanako said in her head, "I'll save you."

Cemetery

Mayako Oyame was doing a silent prayer in front of the grave of her younger brother Takeru. Afterwards, she opened her eyes and looked at Takeru's tombstone.

"Everything has gone as I planned," Mayako said, "just be patient a little longer Takeru," Mayako had a sad expression, "I'm sorry that I failed you. But don't you worry, I'm going to make it up to you very soon. When it's over, no one will mourn for me," Mayako had a sad smile, "that's I made sure that people hated me…after all it's what I deserve. No one will waste a tear when I'm gone," Mayako shed her own tears, "you deserved so much better my dear baby brother," Mayako wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up, "Well, it's time that I started and Kagura will finally pay for what she has done to you. I dedicate this to you Takeru."

Mayako turned around and left ready to so what she planned to do.

An Abandoned Building Somewhere

Keitaro was still tied to a chair and still bruised from Naru's attack.

"I don't know what they have planned for," Keitaro said in his head, "but I'm sure that I'm part of their plan which means that if I can escape, it won't cause problem to Yoshinari and Nagisa."

Keitaro heard footsteps and he looked and saw Kagura approaching him.

"How are you feeling Keitaro?" Kagura asked.

"How do you think I feel?" Keitaro responded with a snarky tone.

"No need to be like that," Kagura responded back, "you realize that it's your own fault for what happened to you, right?"

"All I did was told the truth and Naru responded poorly like she always does and refuses to take responsibility for her own actions," Keitaro turned to Kagura with a glare, "anyway, what the hell do you want?"

Kagura smiled, "There's no need for you to be all snippy with me."

Kagura slowly approached Keitaro and sat on his lap and stroked his chin. Keitaro was surprised at this action.

"Um, what are you doing?" Keitaro asked not liking what was going on.

"You know, as I look at you, I realize you're quite handsome, in a geekish sort of way," Kagura said as she continued to stroke Keitaro.

"Umm…" Keitaro spoke as he was surprised and confused as well as blushed.

"You and Nagisa," Kagura said, "you two are not an item, right?"

"W-Well not officially…" Keitaro said.

"I could show you a better time than Nagisa could ever hope to do so," Kagura said seductively.

"What do you mean?" Keitaro asked feeling uncomfortable with what Kagura was doing.

"It's obvious that both you and Naru have no intention of ever getting back together but it seems that you and Nagisa have gotten close," Kagura said, "you know, I wouldn't mind getting close to you as well."

Kagura stroked Keitaro's head, cheeks, and his lips and Keitaro jerked away and looked away which had Kagura taken aback.

"You really are a despicable," Keitaro said.

"E-Excuse me?" Kagura reacted shocked.

"I know what you're trying to do," Keitaro said, "you're not acting this way just because you actually have feelings for me. You're doing this just to emotionally hurt Nagisa in hoping she would see this and that she would be heartbroken. You can forget it. I won't go along with you. I know the kind of person you are, the kind that would seduce people just to hurt another person. I wonder, was that how you ensnared Takeru Oyame?"

"H-How dare you!" Kagura responded upset and offended, "You're just going to ignore all of this for that bitch Nagisa?!"

"Way to show your true colors," Keitaro snarly replied, "You're not really attractive to me anyway."

Kagura clenched her teeth and moved away from Keitaro as she felt her pride as a woman took a hit.

"You're going to regret this Keitaro Urashima," Kagura said as she was red with embarrassment and resentment, "mark my word. Nobody makes a fool out of me and gets away with it."

"Kagura!" Mutsumi called.

Kagura flinched and she saw Mutsumi ran and got near Kagura and Keitaro.

"Kagura, you shouldn't do that," Mutsumi said upset, "Keitaro is Naru's beloved."

"Oh for god sake…" Keitaro said irritated.

"Hmph, he's not much anyway," Kagura said venomously, "I can see why Naru wants nothing to do with him."

"No, that's not true," Mutsumi said.

While Mutsumi and Kagura were disagreeing with each other, Keitaro was discreetly moving his hands that were still tied behind him.

"I've had enough," Keitaro interjected.

Mutsumi and Kagura stopped talking and looked at Keitaro.

"I'm going to stand up and leave right now," Keitaro declared.

"Oh really?" Kagura replied and chuckled a bit, "It's going to be hard for you to do that since you're still tied up."

"Keitaro please," Mutsumi pleaded, "I know this is unpleasant but please understand that we're trying to help."

Keitaro laughed and looked at Mutsumi with a mocking expression.

"Really?" Keitaro asked, "And the beating I got earlier…?"

"That was a mistake," Mutsumi said sadly, "Naru shouldn't have done that but Keitaro, you weren't being fair yourself."

Keitaro sighed as he calmed himself down.

"Oh well, I'm not going to play this stupid game," Keitaro commented.

"This isn't a game Keitaro," Mutsumi said.

"Mutsumi, I'm going to do my part," Keitaro said, "I'm going to protect the two that you are trying to lure in. I care about them. As for you Mutsumi," Keitaro shook his head, "I don't care about you and Naru," Keitaro brought out his arms as he was able to free himself, "not anymore."

Kagura and Mutsumi were shocked to see that Keitaro got freed from his binds.

"Keitaro, when did you…?" Mutsumi spoke.

Keitaro just looked at Mutsumi and Kagura and he grinned.
