I do not own Love Hina except for my OCs, which they are somewhat similar to the Hinata residents, but completely different, personality-wise.

Keitaro was sitting at the sofa beside Ebi and Lai as he began to explain what happened to him.

"And they blamed me for hurting for hurting my friend Shinobu, without letting me explain myself!" Keitaro ranted as he went on. "I wasn't even there when it happened! I was out getting food for the girls!" The residents of the Murasaki Inn were appalled as Keitaro told them about his constant abuse by Naru and the rest of the Hinata girls.

"Holy shit..." Ebi's eyes widened at the boy's tale. "This Kitsune girl smashed a beer bottle on your head? Someone should call the damn cops on her!"

"That damned Aoyama scum!" Masako hissed. Her ninja clan had a long rivalry with them in the Sengoku Era which had recently faded, since her elder brother had married Motoko's elder sister, Tsuruko Aoyama.

But Masako's anger was not directed at her; rather it was aimed at Motoko. "Honor, my ass!" She snorted. "That woman is honorable as a two-faced coin! Using her sword to harm an innocent!"

"How could they do that to you, Keitaro-san?!" Sayaka was angry and upset as well. From what she heard from Keitaro's story, The Hinata girls sounded like a group of man-hating, self-righteous bitches that used him as their daily punching bag. "What kind of people are they?!"

"Keitaro-niichan should be our Kanrinnin!" Lai piped up. "Don't be stupid, "Lai!" Hitomi shouted. "Keitaro has his own place to run! He can't be bothered with us!"

Keitaro looked up. "You guys don't have a Kanrinnin?" He asked. "We used to, but ever since the bastard quit, he's left us with debts and taxes for us to pay!" Ebi hissed in annoyance.

"And he never came back! Some manager he was!" Hitomi growled as she clenched her fists. "I'm sorry about that." Keitaro apologized. "Don't be, Urashima-san. That man is long gone, thank god." Masako shook her head.

"I have an announcement to make." Keitaro stood up and looked at the girls. "From now on, I am resigning from the position of the manager of Hinata-sou. I will become the manager of the Murasaki-sou!"

The girls gasped and began to protest. "But, Keitaro, what about your residents?" Ebi asked. "TO HELL WITH THEM! THOSE FUCKING BITCHES CAN GO DIE OUT IN THE STREETS FOR ALL I CARE! AND IF I EVER SEE THEM AGAIN, I'LL KILL THEM!" Keitaro roared.

Everyone jumped or flinched from Keitaro's outburst. "I'm sorry about that," Keitaro bowed his head. "But I'm serious about leaving that place behind. I want nothing to do with them."

"I understand." Hitomi put a hand on the boy's back. "But how will you help us with our debts?" "I have an idea that will help us with that." Keitaro shifted his glasses and pulled out his cell phone. "But first I have to tell someone goodbye."

Meanwhile, at the Hinata-sou…

The girls were still steamed about Keitaro, since they thought he was the one that hurt Shinobu. "That asshole." Naru hissed. "I hope he doesn't come back."

"Yeah." Kitsune agreed. "He can rot in hell."

"Indeed," Motoko concurred.

Suddenly, Shinobu dashed down the stairs. A desperate look was on her face. "Where's Senpai?" She asked.

"You need not worry about him. Urashima is gone forever." Motoko told her.

"That's right! That perverted fucker that hurt you is gone!" Naru cried.

"YOU'RE LYING! SENPAI WOULD NEVER HURT ME! I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS!" Shinobu cried.

"You don't have to cover for that bastard!" Kitsune snapped. "STOP CALLING HIM THAT! HE IS NOT A BASTARD!" Shinobu's eyes began to water as she glared at the girls.

"She's telling the truth." Haruka walked in with a glare on her face. "I saw her fall down the stairs when she tripped. I went to call the ambulance when all of you came back to the inn and you all naturally assumed Keitaro attacked her."

The girls were shocked at the new revelation. "But, we thought… I didn't…" Naru stammered. "You thought he beat her up? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK, NARUSEGAWA?!" Haruka barked fiercely at her.

"Auntie Haruka, I didn't mean-" She was cut off as Haruka slugged her in the face. "Gimme a fucking break, bitch. You think he'll come trotting back to you as if nothing happened?!" The Elder Urashima leaned into the tomboy's face and glared hard. Naru weakly nodded.

"Then you're sadly mistaken." Haruka continued her rant. "You think you know my nephew? Well, you don't. Not even I know him. The only thing that kept him here in this forsaken place was his love and trust for you damned brats." Haruka looked at all the residents with anger in her eyes, sending shivers down their spines.

"And with his trust broken, he has no reason to come back here. I'm glad he's not coming back to this hellhole you girls have made for him." Haruka growled at them.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang. "Excuse me." Haruka stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

"Haruka? It's me." Keitaro's voice answered her. "Keitaro? Where the hell have you been?" Haruka demanded.

"I can't explain, But, I won't be coming back to the Hinata Inn for some time. I just want you to tell Shinobu that I'm all right and I'll see her again soon." Haruka could have sworn there was a touch of sadness in his voice.

"All right, but they'll try to find you." Haruka warned. "I don't care. My new friends might have something to say about that." Keitaro chuckled evilly. "It was good talking to you, Auntie." With that, he hung up.

Haruka smiled as she lit a cigarette. "Damn troublesome kid." She snorted as she walked back inside, ignoring the girls' protests and questions.

At the Murasaki-sou…

Ebi was busy fixing up the place as Hitomi began repairing the roof. Masako, Lai and Marie began to paint the new inn sign. Keitaro was talking to one of his friends.

"Yeah, I need you to loan me some money to fix this place up. Think you can do that? Really? Thanks, Satoshi." Keitaro hung up his phone and smiled.

"Good news! Murasaki Inn is now officially debt-free and open for business!" Keitaro announced. The girls cheered as they hugged their new kanrinin.

"I love you, Keitaro-niichan!" Lai shouted.

"Monsieur Keitaro is Magnifique!" Marie cheered.

"Way to go, Keitaro!" Hitomi yelled.

"Thank you, Kami-sama, for sending us Urashima-san." Masako bowed respectfully.

"Come on, guys… you're making me blush." Keitaro scratched his head in embarrassment.

"SODA FIGHT!" Ebi shook up a can of soda and sprayed it on Masako. "ACK!" Masako coughed. "EBI!" Hitomi grabbed another can and splashed her friend.

Soon, everyone was covered in the sudsy drink. Keitaro hid behind the sofa and watched the chaos. He fought to control his nosebleed as he saw Ebi's large bust covered in the sticky soda; her nipples sticking out from her yellow shirt.

'Down, boy! Down!' He thought as Masako ducked an incoming soda spray, letting Keitaro see her well-rounded butt. Keitaro yelped and panted as he buried his face into a sofa cushion. 'Maybe Naru was right. I am a pervert.' He thought before he forced himself to look up again.

Hitomi was soaked in the tasty liquid as some of it seeped into her cleavage. She looked so beautiful when wet. "I GOTTA GO DO MY TAXES!" Keitaro yelled, panicked as he ran up to the room of the former kanrinnin.

Lai blinked. "What's with him? Doesn't he like soda fights?"

"I don't know, but it's his loss!" Ebi whooped as the lobster sprayed champagne she found on the table at the blue-haired kunoichi's backside.

"AAAH!" Masako screamed as she turned around and began to chase Ebi.

Hitomi looked after the retreating ronin. "Keitaro…" She sighed. 'Those stupid Hinata girls really made him so miserable! Especially that Naru chick! I'm gonna make her pay!' She thought heatedly as she clenched her fists.

Meanwhile…

Keitaro sighed as he looked out the window. "What am I doing? I must've sounded so stupid to them." He held his head in his hands. "They think I'm probably weird or something…"

He dropped his arms to his sides and fell onto his bed. "I hope things just don't get any worse."

Keitaro would soon be proven wrong in the following days.

To be continued.
