AN: Writing is not a great thing I like to do. I started this because I was bored one day. I'll try to keep the story going to the end. And maybe even write another. Thank you for all your support.

The sun is rising outside; all is quiet except for the quiet bustle of cars far below going out and about. "Yawn…" Keitaro slowly sat up in his bed and looked over to his clock, 6:50 blinks back at him. "It's been two weeks since that dream started to haunt me and now I think it has finally passed. Nothing more from the dream has come true, I think it was coincidental." he said as he got up to turn his alarm off. "At least I can get some sleep, I was really lucky Naru came to find me when I passed out in the bath tub, if she hadn't I could have drowned. Come to think of it that was the last time we talked was after I woke up, then she hurried away saying she needed to study alone, strange even for her." Keitaro mumbled as he walked, as always, to the tub. "Well when we get on the train to head for school I'll ask her what's up and why she is being so aloof." He sat down and reached for the soap, at the same time high in the sky an orb appeared, blindingly white and transparent. It hovered for a few seconds before rocketing down to the surface. Splash. Keitaro slowly opened his eyes after pouring a bucket of water on his head. "AHHH, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Keitaro shouted as his vision cleared and he sees the orb right in front of his face.

"I'm not a that, I'm a spirit of pure energy, and I'm here to warn you." said the floating orb.

"Warn me of what?" asked Keitaro, now more curious than freaked out.

"Your power is evolving much earlier than anyone predicted, and you will see something no one is supposed to know about until it happens. I, or should I say we, know that once you see it you will feel you are required to step in and stop it, but you must let it go; you must not interfere with what has been destined to happen." 'said' the orb.

"What are you talking about; can you be more specific?" Keitaro queried.

"No, what is destined to happen has yet to start; if I tell you it will be easier for you to stop it. Just remember, your powers are getting stronger, you have always had one even if you never knew it, in time what will happen will show itself to you, just don't mess with it."

"You are very wise."

"I know I am, now you should probably answer the door." The orb said while slowly floating towards the outside edge of the balcony.

"Huh? What do you"-DING DONG- Keitaro's eyes widened he whips around and looks at the door of the bathroom, "woa." he looks back and the orb was gone. "Guess I'll go see who's at the door." he said as he put on the clean clothes he brought with him and walked out the door.

"Thank you." Naru said as she closed the door.

"Who was it Naru?" Keitaro asked as he walked towards her.

"It's a letter from Seta." Naru replied. "Wait didn't this happen in that dream of yours?"

"Nah, in my dream Seta sends a small package with a lacy outfit in it for Haruka."

"Ok because I was getting kinda worried when I saw who it was from."

"Don't worry besides we have to be making out for my dream to come true."

"Like I'd ever make out with you!" Naru shouted while trying to stop from blushing, as always she failed miserably.

"Yeah I guess it never would happen." Keitaro replied, completely oblivious to Naru's blushing.

"So wanna open Seta's letter now?" Naru asked hurriedly, ready for a change of subject.

"Sure."

Dear Hinata House,

It's been one week since I left I hope Sarah hasn't been too much trouble. We have just uncovered the top of the building we think we were searching for, we wont know for sure until we entirely uncover everything. I did find something really nice in the stores when I went for supplies, I hope you like it Naru. Anyway I thought I would drop you guys a line so you all didn't think something had happened to me. See you guys when I get back.

Best wishes,

Seta

"Well at least he dropped us a line." Keitaro replied after he finished reading the letter. "Look at what he sent you." he said as he pulled out a very nice gold-chained necklace with a heart shaped pendant with a small ruby in the middle. "It looks familiar for some reason…"

"It's beautiful, I'm so glad Seta sent it to me." Naru said as she hooked the necklace around her neck.

"I swear I've seen that necklace somewhere before." Keitaro said slightly perplexed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." Naru said walking away.

"Umm… hey Naru, you want to go get something to eat? It's not a date, it's just because." Keitaro fumbled his words around.

"How about we just go all out and call it a date." Naru replied.

Keitaro turned a deep shade of crimson, "uh, um y-yeah s-sure."

"He he, I'll be ready to go in 20 minutes."

"R-right, I'll go get ready and be right here when you are ready to go N-Naru." 'I cant believe me and Naru are going on a real date, I thought it would never happen. Oh no I'm wasting my valuable time, I need to go get ready. I need another bath. I need newer clean clothes, I need to fix my hair. Ah there's too much to do in just 20 minutes.' Keitaro ran off to the bathroom.

'I hope I can tell him tonight. Better have some drinks so I don't get really nervous. I know I always make fun of him, or be mean to him but I guess I realize now that it was just to try and cover up my true feelings and I think Keitaro deserves to know how I feel.' Naru said to herself as she changed her clothes. "Well I think Keitaro should be about ready now, so might as well not keep him waiting." Naru closed her door and happily walked down the hall.

'AH it has been 15 minutes, I need to hurry up!' Keitaro thought after he looked at his watch as he ran to his room to change his clothes again.

"Hmm, he's not here. I thought he was just gonna sit here and wait." Naru said as she looked around the lobby by the front door. "Nothing else to do but sit here and wait for him, I guess."

"Hey Naru, sorry for keeping you waiting, ready to go?" Keitaro said as he hurried down the stairs.

"It's no big deal; sure, where are we going?"

"Wanna go to a sushi bar?" Keitaro suggested.

"Yeah, that sounds delicious."

"Well let's go." Keitaro said.

"I'll have the calamari." Naru said as they placed their orders.

"And I'll have the unagi." Keitaro said as he took a sip of his Dr. Pepper. "So Naru, what made you want to go on a date with me?"

"Well you have wanted to go out with me since forever, so I thought one date wouldn't hurt."

"Hmm, I see, I think. Here comes our food." Keitaro said as the waiter brought their food.

"Wow that was fast, glad you suggested it. Hmm, this calamari is superb, wanna try it?"

"The unagi is good too, try it if you like." Keitaro said taking a bite of eel. "I think I will try some calamari." he said reaching over and taking some.

"The eel looks good, I try a little." Naru reached over and took some of the eel. 'Well I guess it's not or never.' "Keitaro, there is something I want to tell you."

"Yeah what is it?"

"I wanted to say that I l-love y-you." Naru said stammering profusely.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't understand."

"I SAID I LOVE YOU!!"
