Hey again. I just finished this chapter, and I couldn't really think of it any faster. Enjoy.

Love Hina: Aoyama Generation

Ch.5: The Musical One

"So, what brings you here to this place, Rexx?" asked his brother, Shadic. "It's not like you would come to Japan without a reason."

"Actually," Rexx was starting," the band and I are taking a break from our America Tour. We figured about a few weeks of vacation to visit any other family, and you know that my family is here in Japan."

"Well, I guess that's cool." Shadic never really thought about why it was that he and his brother were so far apart. He knew that Rexx's band was famous in all of the country and the Americas; Shadic loved that, but it was more of a burden on him than his parents. His mother didn't care for Rock music, and his dad didn't show his face in over ten years. Shadic cared for Rexx's safety around the world.

"Well, how does America feel like?" asked Sakura to Rexx. "How are the people there, and is there anything neat about it?"

"I believe that it's one of few greatest countries in the world," Rexx started. "The people are amazingly unique and happy, and the neat things there are Twinkies, a steakhouse named Longhorns', and the Xbox."

Sakura, Naru, and Kitsune were astonished by all the stories that Rexx told about while on his America Tour. They were amazed by the events and the amounts of people that he had seen. Shinobu and Nyamo left the room to check on the damage that was caused, but Shadic left the building.

'Is there a real reason that he had to be back in Japan, and try to kill me when it was obvious that I was trying to stay safe from pancaking the ground?' Shadic thought to himself. 'Just why now, and how did Rexx know that I was here?' He looked to the sky and cleared his head, mainly to get rid of his thoughts. He closed his eyes and tried to release his anger without violence.

Shadic opened his eyes and looked to his left. He saw his swords lying there, sheathed and untouched. He walked to them and re-equipped them. Looking to his room, he leaped up and flipped onto the balcony. Shadic knew that it would have been possible for this to happen; however, he would not have been able to confirm his suspicions.

"Hey Shadic!" yelled the voice of Nariko from outside his dorm. "Can you open up the door? I have to ask you about something."

He rushed to the door, opened it rather quickly, and saw Nariko standing against the wall, crying. Shadic realized that it was probably about either himself or a young man. "Come on in," he said to her, almost in a question.

Nariko sat on his bed, and Shadic removed his swords to put them on their corresponding stands. "Is there something wrong, Nariko?" Shadic asked her, trying to understand what was going on. "You seem saddened, but terribly."

"I found out that the boy that I was dating is cheating on me, and he's dating my rival," Nariko answered, sniffing even more tears. "Not only that, but no one else seems to like me at all. Can you help me out?" This caught Shadic's attention, though it bothered him that she wanted his help.

"I guess that my amount of wisdom on love will make its way to you now," was the only response that he could conjure up on-the-spot. He pulled her head close to his chest and held her close, mainly to keep her from losing any hope of happiness. Her crying lessened, and she somehow fell asleep on Shadic's lap, making him more uncomfortable.

After about five minutes, Sakura stopped in the doorway of his room, her face starting to turn red. Shadic paused her before she became angered, and motioned her to come inside quietly. She complied and sat next to him.

"Nariko is having some problems with her 'love life', and she wants me to help her out on this. I found it kind of embarrassing, but I decided to help her out. Don't worry about thinking that I'm trying to betray you by helping Nariko. I still love you." Shadic said the truth in the straightest way possible, and Sakura understood.

"I never knew that she could sleep on someone that deeply," Sakura said, embarrassing him. "But the fact that she asked you somewhat disturbs me. And why would she trust you with her body and mind?"

"Brother…" said Nariko's voice from her sleeping body. "Please, stay with me," she continued, hugging Shadic tightly around the torso. Shadic and Sakura stayed still, trying to put this together. Nariko then released him and, still asleep, repositioned herself onto the bed.

Sakura finally found the missing link between them. Shadic reminded the young Nariko of her older brother, who died of leukemia two years before Shadic moved in. It was the only real reason that Nariko would trust him.

"She had a brother, Shadic," Sakura told him. "His name was Yukaru. He looked like you a little and would have been nineteen this year." She paused. "He died of leukemia two years ago. She cried a week for him, since he was the only family, other than her parents, that she really cared deeply for." Sakura got up and was about to exit the room, but Shadic stopped her. "Could you grab my guitar for me, please?" he asked her. She looked around the room and saw a black 'Doyle Dykes' Taylor Guitar sitting near the wall. She grabbed it and handed it to Shadic. Sakura then exited the room, also closing the door behind her.

She turned left, but immediately stopped in front of the door, hearing a song from behind it. The music sounded like what she heard the night that she told Shadic that he could live there with them. After a few seconds, Sakura knew that it was the song of that night. She waited a little longer, then left to her room next door.

***Night of this day***

'It's exactly 11:14pm of Nov. 13th.' Shadic was writing in his log again, rare for two in one day. 'Apparently, Nariko had a brother that died of leukemia two years ago, which is surprising. I said that I would help Nariko in her new quest to find "love." My twin, Rexx, is now moved in with us until the 28th of this month, in which he will restart touring with "Black Blossom," his band.'

He finished his entry, and closed the book. He stood from his desk, and exited his room. He needed not his blades, since he would not use them at night. Walking down the hall, Shadic only thought of his broken promises, the ones he couldn't keep anymore. He jumped onto the roof and began his hour long Kel-Nar-Riemm. His soul purpose this time was to erase the dead promises from his memories, in which he was haunted.

The hour passed, and he got up, no longer in contact with his curses. He heard footsteps behind him, moving towards him at a slow steady pace. It sounded like a young woman's pair of slippers, and the sound of her hair flowing in the light wind told Shadic to whom the hair belonged.

"Why are you up so late, Sakura?" he asked her, turning to see her in a long gray robe with black slippers. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and her eyes shone in the pale moonlight. She held a Pikachu plush doll in her arms. "I could be asking you the same thing, Shadic."

"I came up here to clear my head of the broken promises I've made. One of them being the one with the dead girl that I tried to protect." He turned to look at the moon above them. "I never could lose that promise, even though I wish to never remember it." He looked at Sakura again. "Even if I removed it from my memories, the dreams of her could never be erased from me."

"I guess you could call it funny, but I came up here to see you," Sakura responded. "It was kind of awkward that I never said anything to you earlier, but … I…" She couldn't finish at all. "I…um. I…r-really like…you." She turned her eyes to look at Shadic's, but she met them a lot closer than where she saw his eyes last. Sakura blushed greatly.

"If that's true, then I truly have nothing to fear," Shadic whispered to her. She noticed that there was something different about his voice: a deeper sound than normal. Shadic walked away from her and his hair turned dark gray. "But I need to know something first." His voice was now distorted, and he turned his head to show his pitch black eye. He also had black liquids flood from his eyes. "How could you ever love a demon?" the dead voice of Shadic now asked darkly.

'No! His voice, it's…' Sakura's thoughts held back in concern for what might happen if she said anything. If she said that she truly loved him, it could end badly. But if she said no, she would have lied to keep their relationship in a recessive state. She had no time to think.

Sakura ran at Shadic fast. 'He has to know, whether he likes it or not!' she thought. She jumped onto him, knocking them both onto the ground, but she held one hand behind his head, and the other behind his back. She kissed him, her lips on his, and she kissed him long.

Shadic's eyes turned back to normal in a second, opened up wide, and his pupils dilated greatly. His cheeks turned dark red, and his mouth tingled. 'So this is what Sakura's love feels like!' he thought to himself. He noticed that she was really enjoying this a lot more than he was. So he wrapped his arms around her body and decided to get into this too. It wasn't long before they both had to breathe in to keep going.

After about a minute, Sakura decided that it was too long for this. She backed her head away and got off of Shadic, allowing him to rise from the ground. Shadic slowly got up and hugged her goodnight. They both walked down together to their respective rooms, holding each other's hand. They said goodnight and entered their own room.

Well, that ends this chapter. I couldn't believe that I wrote this ending at all. I mean, I don't really do love stories that much. Anyways, peace out.
