Keitaro merely froze in shock. If he agreed with Kitsune, then he'd get hit many more times than usual today. If he lied he'd have this argument forever, and have Kitsune bugging him about the topic for at least a week. He decided to go the quicker, and more traveled, route.

"Sure, Kitsune, whatever you say. May I go get breakfast now?"

Unfortunately for him, Motoko came in at the wrong times in this conversation, and naturally assumed Keitaro tried to force himself on her friend.

"YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!" she yelled, delivering him a heavy blow that sent him, literally, through the roof.

"WAAAAAAHHHHH!" He screamed, as Motoko's blow sent him through the roof, and through some trees, with an uneven landing on some rocks.

"She could've at least let me explain." he mumbled, getting up and headed for the long walk back to the Hinata Inn. 'Of course she hit you, she probably thought you had sex with Naru.'. As he walked back to the Inn, he contemplated if he should have put himself in this situation. However, back at Hinatasou...

"Motoko, what was that for?!" Narusegawa shouted. "He didn't do anything this time!"

"Didn't you hear he and Kitsune talking? He said he..." the warrior stuttered, face flushed at the mere thought of saying the word 'sex'.

"He didn't do anything to me, Motoko-chan, relax." She said assuringly, patting her shoulder.

"Very well, as long as your sure he didn't do anything to you."

About an hour later, Keitaro arrived back. 'It took me much longer since I haven't had any food yet today.' he said to himself. 'Well I better go apologize to everybody. Wait, why am I apologizing to everybody? Oh yea, so I don't get killed for not doing anything...'

"Everyone! I'm back!" He shouted upon arrival. He paid no mind that nobody responded, and decided to go up, first, to Naru's room to apologize.

Knock "Narusegawa? Are you in there?" -silence-

"Are you in there?" -silence-

'I guess I can go in...'

He walks in the room, and luckily for him, she wasn't in there. He decided that he'd wait for her to return from wherever the heck she went. He sat down meshing his fingersfor about 10 minutes, when he heard the door slide open.

"Um, Narusegawa? I uh..." He said unfinished, for he gazed upon Naru wearing only her classic yellow towel, since she and the others had been in the hot spring, and hadn't heard him return.

"Oh! Keitaro! Why are you in my room?!"

"I was waiting for you to return so I could apologize! I didn't know you and the others were in the hot springs, I'll, uh, leave now..." He said. As he walked towards the door, however, Naru shut it before he could reach it.

"Naru...se...gawa?"

"Not yet."

"Huh?"

"Don't leave yet. I need a favor."

"Uh, sure. What is it?"

She walked towards him, close enough that he was forced to sit down. She sat in front of him, leaning close to his face.

"Kiss me."

"WHAT?!?!?!?" He yelped, startled that she'd ask such a thing.

"I wanted you to kiss me," she says innocently while drawing away from him," but if you don't want to..."

"No! It's not that I don't want to...it's that...did you really ask me that?"

"Yes. Will you kiss me? Please Kei-kun?"

That sent him over the edge. He was surprised he didn't have a nosebleed right then and there. Here she was, clad in only a towel, asking, no, begging him for a kiss. Then calling him 'Kei-kun'. He couldn't refuse her. What he didn't hear was Su coming up through the hole that connected his and Naru's rooms. Just as he leaned in to kiss her, Su jumped on his back, pushing him into, well, more like onto Narusegawa. Yea, he kissed her, but he also fell over her.

"Never mind onii-chan, I don't need you anymore!" Su said, then left as quickly as she came.

However, neither party heard her, they were too enveloped in the kiss. Keitaro, positioned sitting over Naru, hands on either side of her head, was into the kiss, but also freaked out.

Narusegawa, on the other hand, had her eyes closed, arms around Keitaro's neck, putting all of her feelings into the kiss.

All common sense was damned. All they could focus on was the kiss. When Keitaro finally broke the kiss for air, Naru took in one breath, and pulled him back in for a deeper kiss.

"I told you he's go for it."

"Umm, it's not right to spy on them!"

"That lecher!"

"Are Naru-chan and onii-chan together now?"

They looked up to see, Kitsune smirking, Shinobu crying, Motoko very ticked off, and Su staring.

"Naru, you can stop now, the point has been proven." Kitsune said, still smirking.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!" Keitaro shouted, very confused, and also very mad that his kiss was interrupted.

"When we were in the hot spring we bet on if you would be able to actually control yourself around Naru depending on what she was wearing." Su chimed in enthusiastically.

Naru rose, and touched Keitaro's face gently. Then she drew her hand back and slapped him. Not as hard as usual, since it didn't send him through a wall.

"Try and control yourself Keitaro!" She yelled. However, she next said something low enough only Keitaro could hear it. "You were an excellent kisser though."

She flipped her hair and walked out of the room, to get her clothes she was previously wearing out of the laundry room where she left it when she entered the hot spring.

'Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.' He sighed. At least he was awake this time.

'I wonder how tomorrow will go.' He thought, and went to bed exhausted, praying that the next day, they'll have an honest, uninterrupted kiss.

'That was a day, and a night, to remember'. Were his last thoughts for the day, as he drifted off to sleep.
