Chapter 6: Ai yai yai! The Secret Revealed!
"Komachi!" Naru and Motoko yelled, running down the hallway that led to the stairs.
"Komachi-chan!" Keitaro called, catching up to Naru and Motoko. A figure retreated in the distance and ran up to the second floor of the Hinata-sou.
"Darn it, I'm too sore from Urashima's weak body," Motoko hissed.
"Sorry," Keitaro said. They continued running up the stairs until the reached the second floor. They saw a figure run into Naru's room. SLAM!
"Hey! That's my room!" Naru exclaimed. They reached it and struggled to open the door. RATTLE! It was locked. "My room doesn't even have a lock!"
"Here, I'll go from my room and enter. You guys stay here," Keitaro said, and he left. A silence ensued, and Naru and Motoko just stood there, not sure what to say. Naru cleared her throat.
"So…what's going to happen if she knows?" Naru asked quietly.
"She won't. Even if she heard us, we will deny it. I know she won't be able to function if she knew the truth," Motoko said. Suddenly there was a scream and the door in front of them opened. SLIDE! Komachi tried to run out, but was caught by Motoko easily by the collar.
"H-hey you jellyfish! LET GO!" Komachi yelled. It didn't work.
"Komachi-chan, why are you running away?" Keitaro asked, coming through the hole. Komachi stopped struggling and started to speak.
"Well…I heard Urashima say…though it seems preposterous…that Motoko-chan was really Urashima, and that you must be Urashima in Motoko-chan's body!" Komachi said haltingly. "Of course, that's wrong, now that I say it, it's ridiculous."
"Of course it is, Komachi," Motoko said.
"Hey! I was talking to Motoko-chan!" Komachi said.
"It's true, we were just practicing for a play," Keitaro said. Komachi turned around while Motoko glared at him from behind Komachi. A play? Motoko thought. Can he get any more stupid?
"A play?" Komachi said, now even more suspicious than she was a while ago.
"Yeah, but it, uh, was a failure, so we stopped it," Keitaro said, lying even more lamely. "Anyways, where were we?"
"I was going to take a bath…" Komachi said. "I've got it!"
"Got what?" Naru asked, almost scared.
"Motoko-chan, let's take a bath together to prove you are Motoko-chan!" Komachi said. ERRKKK! Keitaro thought. He managed to not visualize what would happen, and luckily his nose didn't start bleeding. However, he could not say it would stay that way…
"Ah, that's not a good idea, Komachi," Naru said.
"Why not?" Komachi asked. "Unless Motoko-chan is really in that body." Komachi pointed to Motoko, currently inhabiting Keitaro's body. Naru turned around and lifted her hands in frustration, making the motion "it's all up to you guys."
"No, Motoko is herself," Motoko said, crossing her fingers.
"Eh?" Keitaro responded.
"Great! I love hot springs, let's go Motoko-chan!" Komachi said. As they walked down Motoko muttered something to Keitaro.
"You'd had better be respectable and don't do anything. I want Komachi to be kept pure!" Motoko growled.
"I wouldn't do anything to the contrary!" Keitaro said. "Don't worry, Motoko. Your friend is my friend." Motoko for some reason actually felt reassured. They went down the flight of stairs and ended up in front of the changing room. They paused.
"Let's go!" Komachi said, and she grabbed Keitaro and dragged him inside while Keitaro showed Motoko a thumbs up.
"You're going to trust him in there alone?" Naru asked.
"Yes," Motoko said. "But you're going to go in there and tell me what happens."
"What! Komachi already doesn't like me because I called you an idiot," Naru said. "And I don't want to be naked in front of that pervert!"
"Naru-sempai, please?" Motoko asked.
"Well…" Naru said. "Only this once."
-Hinata-sou Open Air Bath-
Splash! Komachi slid into the hot water slowly, sighing as she did so.
"Ahhh, it feels so good after a tiring day," she said. Keitaro meanwhile was shaking nervously but slid in slowly too. It does feel good. Since I don't get to come in here very often, I should enjoy it, Keitaro thought. He closed his eyes and relaxed, his nervousness going away. He actually stopped shaking. This will be a good way to bathe without seeing anything. All I must do is keep my eyes closed. Keitaro also remembered that if he even looked at himself, Motoko would kill him for peeking. It would probably involve a very painful technique, too. Splash!
"Oh, Naru, greetings," Komachi said. Keitaro suddenly stiffened. Narusegawa came in? Oh no oh no, I'm dead!
"And how are you, Komachi-chan?" Naru asked.
"I'm fine," Komachi said. Keitaro kept his eyes closed tight. Suddenly he felt someone grab his arm. Do not look, do not look… he chanted to himself.
"Motoko-chan, can you wash my back?" Komachi asked. Keitaro tried, but he could not help it. He formed an image in his mind about the situation and immediately his nose started to spurt blood.
"Acck!" he cried, and to make a pretense of why his nose was bleeding, he hit his head purposely on the rocks. Otherwise Komachi-chan will know I'm a guy! Keitaro thought worried.
"Motoko-chan!" Komachi exclaimed.
"Motoko!" Naru shouted as well. Keitaro turned around laughing.
"Hah hah, I'm okay," he said, forgetting to keep his eyes closed for a moment. Komachi and Naru were standing there in front him, basically in the buff except that Naru was wearing a towel, which still didn't cover much because it was wet from being in the water. "Eep!" Keitaro squeaked, putting his hand over his nose. Somehow he was able to hold all the blood in.
"Motoko-chan?" Komachi asked. Keitaro turned back around and washed away the blood in the water. (A/N: Yuck!) Komachi tapped him on the shoulder.
"Y-yes, Komachi-chan?" Keitaro answered.
"Here," she said, and Komachi handed Keitaro a towel. At least she'll be turned around, Keitaro thought, and she was when Keitaro turned around. But Keitaro was still nervous as he went closer to Komachi's back. He hadn't actually seen a girl this naked this close nor actually touched a girl's back, or at least not on purpose. His hands were shaking when he finally started to wash. "Hey, you need to be firmer, otherwise you won't get the dirt off," Komachi said. Keitaro was having a hard time, since he was leaning back as far as possible while trying to wash her back. He managed to do it, and finally Komachi told him he was done.
"That's enough," Komachi said. Keitaro mentally wiped his forehead in relief and sat back down, remembering to turn around and close his eyes.
"Eeeek!" Keitaro uncharacteristically shrieked when he felt someone washing his back.
"What is wrong, Motoko-chan? I am merely returning the favor," Komachi said, scrubbing. Keitaro blushed red and didn't answer. He could feel the heat of a glare from behind him and guessed accurately Naru must have been staring angrily at him.
That perv! Look at how he's smiling! Naru thought, even though she really couldn't see whether he was smiling, because in reality he was nervous. Ooo, I bet he loves it that PERVERT! If he makes even one move towards any of Motoko's friends…
"Mo-chan!♥" Keitaro turned around and immediately wished he hadn't. Sakura and Kitsune were walking towards him, both wearing towels but it was not enough for poor Keitaro's mind.
"Acck!" he cried once again, and this time dived under the water where it was burning hot. "YEOW!" he cried, not actually expecting it to be so hot and jumping off he caused Komachi to fall backwards, though she only drifted due to her reflexes. Keitaro just shut his eyes and didn't look anywhere.
"Mo-chan!" Sakura cried again. She jumped and hung on to him, pressing two squishy things against his back. Keitaro blushed the deepest shade of red ever seen on anyone.
"Ah…" Naru stuttered. "Sakura-chan, perhaps you shouldn't hang on like that…"
"Of course I should!" Sakura said, and she stuck out her tongue at Naru, which surprised and slightly annoyed her. Who is she? Why is Keitaro so intimate with her? Grrrr… she complained to herself. Kitsune came in and sat down by Naru.
"Hey you," she greeted. Naru however, was still fuming. "Hey!"
"Huh?" Naru asked, not really paying attention. Sakura was still hanging on to Keitaro and generally bothering him.
"What's up?" Kitsune said.
"How come you guys came in? You know, with that pervert around, you'll never know what will happen!" Naru said, irritated to her very core. She turned back to watching Sakura and Keitaro, who were occasionally interrupted by Komachi.
"You're just jealous," Kitsune said, smiling like she does, which is to say slyly like a fox.
"Jealous? Me? What!" Naru asked in fury. "I am NOT jealous." She made a "hmmph!" sound and crossed her arms in defiance while turning back to watch the trio. Kitsune smiled again.
"So why is there steam coming from your ears?" she asked.
"There is no steam!" Naru snapped. Kitsune giggled.
"Ooo, angry and defensive now, eh? Obviously a sign of jealousy!" Kitsune said.
"No! It's not, I mean, just look at Sakura! She seems like she's trying to tease Keitaro like she knows it's him!" Naru said, pointing at them, exasperated. Indeed it might be that way, since Sakura kept on leaning on him with her chest, and "accidentally" brushing his hands on her breasts.
"That's because she does know it's a guy," Kitsune said, offhandly.
"WHAT!" Naru shouted. She turned towards Sakura and Keitaro.
"Mo-chan, can you wash my back," she asked with a seducing smile on her face.
"Uh…" Keitaro stuttered, and he nervously grabbed a cloth.
"Are you JOKING ME!" Naru shouted at Kitsune who was cringing but giggling at the same time.
"Scrub harder, Mo-chan, you're barely doing anything at all," Sakura said, giggling. Keitaro didn't hear the giggle. He leaned slightly forward, when he tripped (on goodness knows what, he's in the hot springs) and fell on top of Sakura.
"Sakura! Pervert!" Naru exclaimed, mistaking the trip for a perverted attack. "YOU IDIOTIC PERVERT! DIE!" she shouted, and hit Keitaro (A/N: Try to imagine Motoko's body) into the starry sky.
"Aieeeeee!" Keitaro screamed as he felt the connection. BAAAAAM! Naru stood there, a vein twitching on her forehead. Kitsune and Sakura giggled while Komachi cleared her throat.
"So," Komachi said, watching Keitaro blink out of sight. "You guys lied."
"Uh…" Naru said, sweat-dropping.
-Hinata-sou Living Room-
Most of the Hinata-sou residents were sitting on a couch, except for Keitaro who was standing in front of everyone, shaking from fear, and Shinobu who …somewhere, but she was purposely avoiding this confrontation.
"So, it is true that Motoko-chan has transferred into this, this Urashima's body!" Komachi demanded to know, gesturing from Motoko to Keitaro.
"Yes, it is true," Naru said. Komachi glared.
"I am sorry for this deception, Komachi-chan," Motoko said. "But I thought you would not believe it nor accept it." Komachi went over to Motoko.
"Motoko-chan, of course I could accept it," she said. "But how can you let a man, especially a man like Urashima inhabit your body?"
"But he's cute!" Sakura said, turning around from playing with Su.
"Sakura-chan, stop it!" Komachi demanded. "He is like an evil demon inhabiting Motoko-chan's body! With that body he could even peep on…eep!" Komachi squeaked. "You…you perverted male! YOU SAW ME UNCLOTHED! SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN! YOU DESERVE TO DIE! COME HERE!"
"Waaah!" Keitaro cried, afraid for his life. Komachi whipped out a sword and swung. SWOOSH! BAM! A wave of ki slammed into Keitaro and he face-planted into the ground.
"Hah!" Komachi said, sheathing her sword.
"Ow…" Keitaro said, standing up. "That might leave a scar."
"WHAT! You're still conscious!" Komachi asked.
"Yeah, for some reason he's invincible, and that seemed to have kept with him when he changed bodies," Naru said.
"Hmmph!" Komachi said. "You are a perverted male and that is it!" Komachi left the room. A pause ensued.
"Well, that went well," Kitsune said.
"Well! WELL!" Keitaro asked, getting angry. "She hit me! She hates me! AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Keitaro said, pointing an accusatory finger at Kitsune.
"Hey, it's not like you would've kept it a secret anyways," Kitsune said.
"OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE!" Keitaro yelled.
"Keitaro, you're so loud," Su said. She and Sakura were playing a video game, or at least Su was trying to teach Sakura how to play a very new popular game – Katamari Damacy (A/N: This is the new popular in America Japanese where all it entails is you rolling a ball around, collecting stuff and getting bigger and bigger. It seems dumb, but apparently it's a really fun game. And I don't have anything to do with it other than mentioning it)
"I still don't get it," Sakura pouted.
"No, you have to roll the ball into smaller objects before you can get bigger ones," Su said.
"Su! This is slightly more important than teaching Sakura a stupid video game!" Keitaro yelled. He had dropped all the "chan" suffixes at the notion that they might find him obnoxious. In fact, would Komachi even let him use her first name any more? Perhaps she'll come back and demand that I call her Iida-san now, Keitaro thought wearily. His whole demeanor become sad and his face drooped.
"?" Sakura asked. She put down the controller and walked over to Keitaro. "Don't be so sad!" She shouted, tackling him.
"What! Get off!" Keitaro said, surprise. Who is this girl? Another Su? Isn't she in high school already? Keitaro thought.
"I'm going to make you laugh since you're so sad," Sakura said, and immediately started to tickle him.
"Waaah!" Keitaro yelped, and he started laughing hard. He was writhing on the floor in complete agony from his laughter. "Haahaahahahaaheeelp!" he cried. Naru, Kitsune, and Motoko stood there frozen for a moment. Kitsune was mentally congratulation herself for training Sakura so well, Motoko and Naru were angry for different reasons, Motoko angry that Sakura was being so close to Keitaro and Naru angry for…well, for Keitaro reacting like anyone would.
"Sakura-chan!" Motoko yelled.
"Eh?" Sakura asked, halting her attack. Keitaro breathed heavily, thankful of the pause.
"Get off that pervert before—" Motoko began but didn't finish as Komachi came in and, as expected, assumed the "vile lecherous male" was taking advantage of her friend – again.
"Why, I'm only gone for several seconds and you…you do THIS!" Komachi shouted, pointing at them, clearly not seeing the fact that Sakura was the one on top. She walked over as she said this.
"DIE!" she bellowed, and she swung down.
"Yipes!" Sakura squeaked, jumping off and letting Keitaro take the brunt of the attack. BAM! Keitaro was hit and he cracked the floor, making a Keitaro shaped hole in it. Komachi sheathed her sword once again. Motoko looked on, actually feeling sorry for Keitaro. Wait, is it like this whenever I hit him? Do I rush in and jump to conclusions? Motoko thought in horror. She didn't want to be known as rash, but calm and intelligent, especially by Urashima.
"Ow…" Keitaro moaned, rolling out of his pot hole in the floor. Komachi spun around.
"You're still conscious? Again!" she asked, whipping out her sword.
"Ah! Don't kill me!" Keitaro cried in fear.
"Komachi-chan, please stop!" Motoko asked.
"Yeah, Komi-chan!" Sakura agreed.
"Sakura-chan…" Komachi growled.
"No, Komachi-chan, this time you simply over reacted, like any good human being would have done, but it was really Sakura-chan, err…tickling Keitaro…" Motoko said, stuttering at the end because she realized she sounded ridiculous.
"Tickling," Komachi stated again. Motoko nodded her head.
"Isn't that right, Sakura-chan?" she asked.
"Yes, of course, Mo-chan!" Sakura said with her usual enthusiasm. Shinobu appeared.
"S-sempai?" she asked. "Err…do you want some food for lunch tomorrow?"
"Oh, ah, sure…" Keitaro said.
"That's right, school!" Komachi said. "Of course I had imagined that we would have time to do homework—"
"Well, let's do it now," Keitaro said. "Err…Komachi."
"Komachi? You are not allowed to say that! Iida-san is more proper, since we've only known each other for a day," Komachi said. I knew it! Keitaro cried.
"But let us do it," Komachi said, bringing out her backpack and work.
-Keitaro's Room-
:Later:
They had finally finished their work, Keitaro not being the total idiot he usually was at anything academic, as he had been studying for a long time now and knew how to study. Well, in theory, at least.
"Do you get it now?" Komachi asked. Sakura had finished a couple minutes ago and was looking for Su.
"Yes," Keitaro said.
"Are you sure? You're English isn't that good, you know, for being a third year ronnin," Komachi said. She had heard about Keitaro's history.
"Did you have to bring that up?" Keitaro asked pathetically.
"Yes," Komachi said. She had had a surprisingly good time finishing her homework. What this means is that she enjoyed it more than she thought she would, since it was with a guy. Though the guise of Motoko-chan's body often deceives me, Komachi thought. She watched Keitaro scribble down some more stuff.
"What are you doing?" Komachi asked finally.
"Well, I also have to study for my Todai exams, next week, when Su returns me back to my own body," Keitaro said. He continued writing down stuff, then turned around to face Komachi. "I usually do it with Narusegawa, but right now she has to teach Motoko how to do it, so she can do the practice tests. Right now I'm brushing up on Calculus. These inverse trig function integrals are a devil of a problem, you see they—"
"I didn't ask for a long winded explanation!" Komachi shouted.
"Sorry," Keitaro said. He turned back around. Still, I didn't know this Urashima was capable of such a thing. That seems like a lot of work, Komachi thought. He may have a spine after all. Komachi continued watching, and a smile crept onto her face. Keitaro paused, then flipped to a different section in his book, and wrote something more down. Hmm… Komachi thought.
"Komi-chan, I was wondering…" Sakura started, coming in, but no one noticed her and Komachi didn't respond. "Eh?" Sakura looked at Komachi, who was smiling oddly. She usually only smiles like that when we're having lots of fun, Mo-chan and all of us together. What's wrong? Perhaps she forgot Mo-chan was cute Keitaro-kun?
"Oh, hi Sakura…err, yeah, hi," Keitaro said.
"Oh, you can call me Sakura-chan if you want to, Keitaro-kun," Sakura said with an innocent smile on her face.
"Ah, uh, yeah, err, Sakura-ch-chan," Keitaro said, flustered a bit. The only person who liked to use the "kun" suffix was Mutsumi and Seta. And then Mutsumi attached it too his nickname when they were young and could only pronounce short syllables, like "Kei" or "Na" or "Mu." Komachi snapped out of her smile.
"Sakura-chan, you should not let him say that!" Komachi said. "You shouldn't let men use the "chan" suffix so easily!"
"Why not?" Sakura said, putting a pout on her face.
"Be-because so! What has he done for you?" Komachi asked.
"Well he saved me before from that Judo guy," Sakura said.
"True…hey, how did you do that move, if you weren't Motoko-chan, Urashima?" Komachi asked.
"Err…I don't know," Keitaro said, laughing in his typical manner with a hand behind his head.
"Idiot," Komachi said. "Anyways, goodnight Urashima." Komachi headed towards the door.
"Err, Iida-s-san…" Keitaro asked. He wanted something from her really bad, because without it and the way things were going, he might get into a lot more trouble than he was in currently. And if I don't seem serious, she might not say yes. How shall I do it? Keitaro thought nervously. I know…
"Yes?" Komachi said, spinning around. Sakura watched with her finger in her mouth. Keitaro suddenly bowed down before Komachi and spoke.
"I request your assistance so Motoko can still retain her reputation at school."
Shock registered on Komachi's face, though Keitaro could not see it. Her mouth opened and closed several times, but nothing came out. Why can't I speak? Komachi wondered. She shook her head, her short black hair waving silently. Didn't work, Komachi thought. Sakura was quiet – and quite interested in Komachi's reaction, because it hadn't happened before. Keitaro was thinking, Why isn't she saying anything? Was it wrong to do this? Uh oh, she might hurt me! Too late to back out now, too late…
Komachi finally cleared her throat. Ahem! "Uh, y-y-yes," she managed to stutter. She coughed again and looked away. "Uh, stand up, please." She never had anyone bowing before her and was rightly embarrassed. Perhaps he has the makings of a man. Keitaro was also slightly embarrassed, since he had never begged quite that much, or formally, for that matter. "Of course you need my help to, uh, maintain Motoko's reputation." Keitaro opened his mouth as if to speak, but was interrupted by Sakura.
"EEEEEKK!" She cried.
"Sakura-chan?" Keitaro and Komachi both shouted in worry at once.
"Co-co-co-COCKROACH!" She shrieked, pointing. Keitaro looked, and saw at once a monstrous cockroach.
"Aieeee!" Keitaro shrieked, and he dived into the closet and brought out bug spray. His hand shook as he aimed for the bug. BZZZ! The cockroach flew and landed on Keitaro's face. "Aieeeee! Get it off, get it off!" he shouted. I take that back. Urashima is a spineless jellyfish, Komachi thought. Suddenly Komachi heard a very familiar cry.
"ROCK SPLITTING TECHNIQUE!" Motoko yelled, busting into Keitaro's room and slicing. BAM!
"Aieeeeeeee!" Keitaro screamed once again, and he flew out his window, making a rather large hole in the process. The cockroach followed and flew out the window lazily.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay? Did Urashima attack you?" Motoko asked.
"Is the cockroach gone?" Sakura asked timidly.
"Yes, there is nothing to be afraid about," Motoko said.
"Phew! Ah…no, actually I was just scared of the cockroach…" Sakura said.
"Oh," Motoko responded. She turned to Komachi. "Nothing happened, right?" Komachi, however was looking through the hole.
"Will Urashima survive?" she asked.
"Yes, somehow he's invincible," Motoko answered.
"Aren't you afraid that you're hurting your own body?" Komachi asked. Motoko sighed.
"Yes, but I'm afraid that protecting people from his perverseness is more important. When I am in control again, then I will be okay. His body," Motoko said, showing Komachi, "Is in prime condition from the beatings I usually give him, except for the fact he has no muscle on him. Oh, I meant to ask you, will you wish to train with us tomorrow morning?"
"Us?" Komachi asked.
"Yes, unfortunately I have to force Urashima to practice so my body doesn't degenerate in to fat. Plus, if he learns any kendo skill, he'll be better prepared to take on other people in school, especially Hiaski and Co."
"Agreed," Komachi said.
"And learning Kendo is always good for the soul, a week of waking up can't hurt him," Motoko said.
"You both mention a week. How do you know you will change back?" Komachi asked.
"That's because of Su!" Sakura interjected. "She's a crazy inventor! I'm sure she can invent a mind switching machine!"
"Ah," Komachi said. "Is this accurate?"
"Well, it was her electronics in the first place that caused it, so hopefully after this week we'll all survive," Motoko said. "By the way, could you, ah, you know, look out for him? He's a big loser, dumb, and clumsy in every possible way, so any assistance you can give to deflect his natural state to preserve my honor will be greatly appreciated."
"Yes, he, ah, has already asked," Komachi said, turning slightly red. "Very politely, too."
"Oh?" Motoko asked, intrigued. Her face lit up, curious. "Polite?"
"Yeah, Keitaro-kun bowed down before Komachi and even "requested" her help!" Sakura joyously said.
"Really," Motoko said. He's never bowed before me before, she thought. Wait, why would I need him to do that?
"Uh, yeah…" Komachi said, coughing to draw attention away from herself.
"Well, then, good night, Komachi-chan," Motoko said, and she left. Komachi and Sakura started to pack their things, since it was all splayed out in Keitaro's room. Keitaro finally came back, a slight limp apparent.
"Ah, Iida-san," Keitaro greeted. "And Sakura-chan also."
"Keitaro-kun!" Sakura greeted back, and she ran over to him jumping on him.
"Ack! Sakura-chan, your hair is too long!" Keitaro complained, her hair getting into his face and blocking his vision. He was also blushing slightly.
Sakura took a lock into her hand and nuzzled against it. "Isn't it pretty? It's so brown and silky smooth and—"
"Sakura-chan, get off him right now! That is not Motoko-chan," Komachi ordered.
"Awww…you're such a spoil-sport," Sakura moaned. She jumped off Keitaro. "Well, I'll see ya tomorrow!" she said waving and leaving with her stuff. Komachi lugged her backpack onto her shoulder.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early, Urashima," Komachi said. "You had better be prepared for a good training session." She left. Keitaro felt an inexpressible urge to run away from this morning session. But, after all, I just asked for assistance. I can't not do it and seem like I don't keep my promises, Keitaro said. He hated scum that lie like that the worst. It caused him anger. He pulled out his futon and went to bed. He did not fall asleep immediately, but instead thought about the past events of the day. Tomorrow will be worse, he thought nervously. But, perhaps with help it'll be better. Komachi-chan seemed like she would go along…oops, I guess it's Iida-san now. Keitaro mentally reflected that it was like there were two Motokos in the house now. And of course, they're both really pretty… Keitaro fell asleep with that thought.
A/N: Sorry, guys, but this is a shorter chapter because I just got an idea for a good Naruto story that I'm bursting inside to write. If any of you actually read my other Love Hina story in progress right now (or even care), but that will take a place on the backburner for now, because this Naruto idea seems very interesting. But this story (since I think it is the better of the two Love Hina stories) will keep on with the every other week (usually…hehe I actually don't know if I keep this up) update. Please RR!
