The Continuation of My Dream

Author's Note : Hey there. It's still kind of sad, but I'll reply the only review I received so far. I won't allow reviews by people who're too lazy to even register for an account, when the only review that I received for the story doesn't qualify as one. That's that I suppose. With that said, here's chapter 6. Please read and start reviewing, it'd be much appreciated, thanks!

Chapter 6 : Conflicted Heart of a Young Swordswoman, Aggressive Beauty in Disguise

As the four walked out of the room and headed downstairs, Keitaro couldn't help but notice that the next person he wanted to speak to next wasn't in the living room. "I guess Motoko-chan must be in her room or something. I'll go find her, I'll see you in a bit OK?" With a nod from the girls, he turned to check said girl's room first, while the others headed back downstairs.

Taiga gave the three girls a questioning look as she asked, "Well? What did he say?" Rin coyly replied, "That, sensei, is a secret." Ilya echoed in a comedic fashion as she hopped around happily, with Kaolla joining her, seemingly oblivious, "Secret! Secret!" The former guardian was fuming at the answer and was about to head upstairs to confront the young man when Haruka put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Calm down and wait. We'll know when he decides to talk to us. If you jump the gun and confront him now, he'll just not say anything because of how you're acting." She was about to retort, but noticing the looks of annoyance she was getting, she meekly sat back down and had anime-style tears hanging off her eyes, muttering that her charge's turned all these women against him. What the women didn't notice however, was that the blonde and another young lady was missing from the group waiting, including her pet.

Meanwhile, Motoko was indeed in her room, trying to get her mind off the kanrinrin. Seeing as how she already had a workout this morning (despite how it was more of a crushing defeat than a workout), she decided to perhaps do some studying to get her mind off the young man that she held deep affection for, despite her denial. As she was writing, however, her mind drifted into writing about a romantic scene where Keitaro suddenly opened the door, took her in his arms, whispering sweet words into her ear and was about to kiss her. Once she realized what she was doing, she snapped up in frustration and exclaimed, "Gah! Why am I thinking about things like that? I'm supposed to be focusing my mind on studying! STUDYING so that I can eventually get into Toudai so that I can-"

As if the timing couldn't be worse, Keitaro picked this time to knock on her door, causing the raven-haired beauty to jump in surprise. "Motoko-chan, you there? It's Keitaro. Can I speak to you for a few minutes?" "Jo-jolto matte (Just a minute)!" With that, she scrambled to put things away, not wanting the object of her affection to see what she wrote. Little did she notice, the very thing that she was trying to hide was in the corner on the floor when she yelped in surprise. "Yo-you may come in now."

With that, Keitaro opened the door and walked in, and he couldn't help but notice how rigid the resident swordswoman looked, not to mention the white headband on her head with a pencil sticking out on the side of it with the words "Toudai or bust!" written on it. He sat down on the floor and asked, "So, you're studying to get into Toudai too huh Motoko-chan? That's a great goal, but I didn't know that you were trying to do that too. How come you never mentioned it before?"

Noticing what he was looking at, Motoko scrambled to get said headband off her head and replied indignantly with a blush on her face, "No-none of your business Urashima. I merely wish to broaden my horizons by going to one of the best universities in the country, as both you and Naru-sempai have done."

The young man with eyewear laughed sheepishly, put one hand up behind his head and said, "Of course Motoko-chan, I'm sorry if I was being intrusive. Anyway, I'm sure you can get in easily on your first try, unlike an ex-ronin like me who failed three times before I finally got in."

Not wanting to hear him put himself down, Motoko retorted, "You mustn't think that way Urashima. You persevered despite your failures, and that's an admirable trait." He laughed and said, "Thanks Motoko-chan, but I'm not that great," Noticing the piece of writing on the floor, he went to pick it up and asked, "Oh? Is that the written portion of the practice exam you're taking? Let's take a loo-" "NO! Don't read that!" But it was too late, as Keitaro began to read through the rather suggestive content of this one piece of Motoko's heart.

When he finished, the young man was blushing as he asked, "Wh-what is this? Motoko-chan, why does the guy in your story sound like m-" Knowing that she was exposed, she tackled Keitaro to the floor as tears continued to flow and she spoke, "It's you! It's always been you! Why do you make me feel like this? You're supposed to be a weak male! I even want to enter Toudai to follow you now, because I want to get in so that we can go to class together when you get better! Are you happy now? Well? Trample on my feelings! First you chose Naru-sempai, now that blonde warrior who I could never hope to defea-"

She was interrupted by a kiss on the lips by the man alone in the room with her. At first shocked by this, she moaned into the kiss as he returned her embrace. After a few long seconds after, they broke the kiss and sat back, breathing hard. "Wha-what was that for you lecherous male?" She instinctively reached for her sword, only to realize that she didn't have it next to her as she wasn't in her usual clothes, so she did the only other thing that came to mind and blushed.

Keitaro instinctively got in his usual cowering position until he realized that she didn't have her sword within easy reach and wasn't going to hit him. After that, he regained his composure and said, "Motoko-chan, I had no idea that you felt that way. When we were trying to help you to defeat your sister, I thought you merely tolerated the idea of being stuck with me in case you couldn't win. If you can actually find it in your heart to like an idiot like me, I-"

He was cut off by Motoko as she pointed a finger at him angrily and asked, "Are you trying to take advantage of me at my moment of weakness? You already have made your choice at who you wish to be with, or are you trying to make me your mistress? Because I will not play second fiddle to-"

She was surprised again as Keitaro once again hugged her. She relaxed at what she always wanted, as he replied, "No Motoko-chan, I'll never make you do anything that you don't want to. I do care for you, and there's a reason that I came here to tell you this. Arturia was the one who told me that I should pay attention to those that may have feelings similar to her own, and she would allow it if they truly care about me. I plan to ask Su about the polygamy thing later, if that actually would work. As for right now, I'm not asking you to marry me Motoko-chan. But if you could find it in you to give me a chance, I want to try and make us work too."

Tears of happiness flowed down her face as she moved towards him and gave him a few quick kisses on the lips and said, "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that, although the circumstances I had in mind were a bit different. My answer's yes you clumsy fool, yes." With that, she was holding the young man against him again in content.

Keitaro couldn't help but ask, "Ano Motoko-chan, what was that thing that I was reading? Exactly how long have you written stuff like that with us in it?" Said girl blushed in embarrassment, not knowing what to say as she moved back into a sitting position. The romantic atmosphere was interrupted when they both heard a cough. They looked in the direction of the sound to see a slightly agitated Arturia. "I'm sorry for interrupting, but what was that I heard about her writing stories with you and her in it doing unspeakable things?"

With that, Motoko suddenly felt very small, as she squeaked and moved herself with her feet, inching back from the fuming former Servant. Keitaro waved his hands around nervously as he said, trying to calm her down, "Arturia, don't be mad at Motoko-chan. I'm sure that she wouldn't show anybody what she wrote. Right?" Looking at Motoko for support, said raven-haired girl nodded furiously in agreement, almost like a bobbing head.

Arturia sighed and let it go as she said, "Very well. I'm only here because I wanted to see how things are going, and also due to the fact I knew who you plan to speak to next once you cleared things up with the one that reminded you most of me." Motoko looked at Keitaro with a questioning glance, and the blonde spoke again, "Worry not. He stated that you remind him of me, but he cares for you for being you, not as a replacement to me."

Much to Keitaro's relief, the young woman's expression lightened. "You do realize that we'll have to tell ane-ue about this. She won't exactly be thrilled at this news." Keitaro took her hand and grasped it reassuringly, "I know, but whatever fury she unleashes, we'll face it together." At hearing that, the two exchanged a smile, Arturia couldn't help but do the same as she saw Motoko looking at Keitaro the same way she looked at her love.

She then sat down next to them and said, "While I am not against this relationship, I feel that some ground rules must be set, so as to prevent anymore occurrences such as the actions taken by you two earlier." Motoko nodded to this, as they continued their conversation.

A Few Minutes Later

"So who is it that you plan to speak to next that you wished both of us to accompany you Urashi-Keitaro?" Motoko asked as the three headed upstairs. "Who else? The only other girl besides you who would send me flying." Both women's looks darkened as Arturia was angry at the recollection of the harm inflicted on her love, while Motoko felt ashamed at her own past behavior, now determined to protect her first and only love, "I see, so it's Naru-sempai huh? Worry not, I pledge on my honor to protect you with all that I am from any further unreasonable cause of violence." With a reassuring hug from both women, said young man relaxed a bit as they approached the room of the self-proclaimed pervert basher.

That came screeching to a halt however, when all of a sudden the trio saw a carbon copy of Arturia standing in front of them. At being exposed, the fake Arturia jumped back before either women could attack her, but wasn't able to come out unscathed as the real one transformed in a flash and struck her at the wrist of one arm with Invisible Air, causing a small cut to show. The imposter leapt all the way back down to one of the boulders around the onsen, with the three following up to the balcony of the third floor. Arturia was about to jump down to give chase when Keitaro grabbed one of her arms and asked, "Please stop Arturia! You can seriously hurt her with that, please put it away! Let me talk to her. I know who that is."

Agreeing reluctantly, Arturia held Keitaro by the waist as both she and Motoko jumped down onto the onsen grounds, which thankfully was empty at the moment, or the usual Air Naru would probably occur. Noticing the purple flying cat landing on the young woman's shoulder, the young man was now certain that his guess was right. "Come down Kanako-chan, we'll talk. And take that mask off, it's no wonder Arturia got angry."

Said young woman complied as she took her disguise off, jumped down and hugged her adoptive brother. "Oni-chan! Please think about our promise! I'm glad that you gave up on that stupid promised girl, but please don't leave me for this blonde bimbo!" Arturia, angered by her insult was about to attack again, but stopped at Keitaro putting up his hand.

He had a scolding look on his face that softened as he said, "Now Kanako-chan, don't say that about Arturia. After all, she's the reason that we can be together." Now the girl was confused as she asked, "What do you mean oni-chan?" "What I mean is that she told me to return the affection to those around me that deserve it, and that includes you Kanako-chan."

The young woman now had a content smile on her face and she hugged her love even harder, "So that means that she's giving you up right?" The trio sweatdropped at her one-track mind as Keitaro responded, "No Kanako-chan. What this means is that we'll try to make Su's idea work, after I ask her about that of course. But it means that we can pursue things in THAT direction. How does that sound to you?"

Said young woman looked at the two women next to her love with a small pout, "I'd much rather have you all to myself," She then changed her face to a small smile as she looked at Keitaro lovingly, "But it means that I get to have you, I'll take whatever I can get oni-chan," She looked at Arturia briefly and said, "Oh and sorry for calling you a bimbo." The other two women were yelling at her to get off him, not that she paid them any attention. When the rest of the people in the living room came running at saw the siblings in such a scandalous manner however, let's just say that he was getting some pretty interesting looks. Keitaro laughed nervously and said, "Ehehe hey minna. Sakura-chan, could you get something for Kanako-chan's arm? She got a small cut by her wrist a few minutes ago." With a nod, the purple-haired beauty immediately complied and headed back inside the house, the rest of the group still looking at him. He sighed, knowing that his plan just had a monkey wrench thrown into it.

Motoko : I loathe to admit it, but thank you for putting me and Keitaro together.

Protoman 0 : No problem Motoko-chan. Anything for my favorite Love Hina girl. Besides, if there's anybody that I would want to lose to (Yeah I have a crush on Motoko. I used to be disgusted by guys who have a fetish for anime girls, and now I actually have crushes on some of them. How ironic, I'm a fricking hypocrite), it can only be Keitaro since he's the only one besides me (Told you, crush) in my opinion who deserves your affection.

Kanako : Don't even think about laying a finger on me. I belong to one man and one man alone, and that's my oni-chan. Got it?

Protoman 0 : (Sweatdrops) I got it. You are cute, but I don't even dare come near you since he's the only guy that you will never hurt, except for maybe Seta, and he's interested in Haruka anyway.

Kanako : Ah-ha! So you DO admit to have those thoughts about me! Shin-ne! (Lunges at me)

Protoman 0 : (Runs away) Motoko-chan, help me!

Motoko : Very well, since you did help me and complimented me before, and I have a score to settle with her in the canon story. Lecherous bisexual sibling of Keitaro, have at thee! (Lunges at Kanako with her sword. I can always use my author powers to defend myself, but somehow this was funnier, at least to me.)
