The Love I Have Chapter 5: It all began with a Twist of a wrist
Written By: Thowell3
Disclaimer: I don't own the Love Hina Series. Although I do have the Whole book series on my book shelf and the DVD's of the whole series. I never thought of the Characters but I wish I did.
A/N: Sorry I haven't updated recently but I have been busy with school for the last 3 months. College takes a lot out of you, Thank you for your all your reviews and everything. Also the reason for this lateness of this chapter is partly because of lack of muse to continue. I am currently on my short break before going back to college. Also the girl I am dating came back from Thailand early and seeing her has taken up a bit of time. I am glad she is back and since she will be closer (But still in another Province over and I will not be able to see her during her time in college) She will probably be a bit of influence to keep writing. That and I'll get to see Kytrans again. He is the Fan Fiction Author that got me to write this story. I had had this planed out a long time ago but I feared no one would like it but he convinced me to write so I am happy for that. Any ways the next chapter will be up some time before the end of October. Don't rush me but do encourage me to keep writing. If you bother me enough I may just try harder to finish. But I ask you to do so maybe later on like possibly around the middle of November. Thanks.

I couldn't have done this story with my Wonderful Beta. She makes it possible for you to enjoy this story with proper grammar and spelling. )
Keitaro was still reeling at what had happened this morning. He felt like he was still in a dream world.
'Maybe I was hit on the head and put into a coma' Keitaro thought to himself.
Keitaro had been watching Seta for the last 2 of Seta's Classes only half taking in what he was saying he went back to Seta's office to Catalogue the findings that he and Seta had found a year ago. Seta had never really had the time to really catalogue stuff they had found so in his spare time at the University he would catalogue as much stuff as he could. He was currently working on the box of ancient bowls and urns, He never heard the door open or see the little blond girl walk in. She was no more than 11 years old, and had brilliant blue eyes. Although she looked cute she had a temper a mile wide and a tendency to be mischievous, Especially around Keitaro.
Keitaro Had Just finished another pot when he felt a presence he had felt before, but he couldn't tell where. All of a sudden the pot was knocked from his hands by the little mischievous girl and Keitaro Acted fast and caught the Pot.
He looked over at the little girl who was laughing on the ground flailing her arms and legs with joy.
"SARAH Why did you do that?" Keitaro asked in an aggravated tone
"Awww Relax Dork." Sara Said Calming down a little. "It didn't break. All of Papas training worked out on you"
"Thanks for your vote of Confidence" Keitaro said sarcastically "And Why do you keep calling me Dork? I thought I had earned your Respect after saving you from being crushed at that Dig sight in the Amazon." Keitaro Finished by adjusting his glasses
"Yup I respect you" Sara Said looking up at him "But doesn't mean I can't play around with you" She said with a Cheeky grin on her face
Keitaro sighed loudly "Can you please just stay out of my way for a little while?" Keitaro asked nicely as he could "I promise that I will train with you in a little while"
Sarah stood there folding her arms with a Humph "And what makes you think I want to Train with you?" Sarah asked not looking at Keitaro at all trying to seem more interested in what was on the wall
"Well because you always like to train with Seta and I so I assume since Seta is busy right now you want someone to help you with your training and usually that come to be my job because I'm one of the only ones that can hold up against your dirty fighting" Keitaro explained while finishing another urn
"I don't fight dirty!" Sarah said sticking her tough out at Keitaro
Keitaro rolled his eyes "Yes you do. Last time we spared you tried to hit me below the belt which is just a cheap shot." Keitaro said Taking off his glasses to clean them "Any ways Seta will be out of his meeting soon so you can have all the fun you want with him." Keitaro said as he finished cleaning his glasses and put them back on.
"Ooo But I want to fight you. Papa doesn't run much; it's not as fun!" Sarah said with a bit of pout
"Heheh, well, once Seta gets back I have to head home." Keitaro Said rubbing the back of his head
Sarah Looked at him sceptically "Home? I thought you got kicked out of your last place and you were going to stay in the Van with us for a little while?"
"Na I have different sleeping arrangements right now. My Grandmother invited me to stay at her Inn for a while till she gets back."
"Oh well that's good now I don't have to worry about any dorks sleeping near me "Sarah Said to hide her disappointment
A Few minutes later the Door flew open and Seta came in
"Pa, you're back" Sarah screamed excitedly.
Seta caught her in mid air, "Hi Sarah, I am glad to see you too but I am afraid I can't stay long."
Sarah looked sad and with a pout on her feature she whined,, "Oh, Why?"
"Well the meeting is going to go late tonight so I was hoping that you wouldn't mind going with Keitaro to where he lives now." Seta looked over at Keitaro "What do you say Keitaro
"But...." Keitaro started.
"Great, I'll be around later to pick her up"
Seta Put Sarah down "But Pa why do I have to go with the Dork? " Sarah asked with a little tear in her eye
"Because I can't leave you alone for the next few hours without food, or anyone watching you." Seta stated "Besides I know Keitaro will take care of you. Now I'll see you later. BYE" Seta Said slamming the door.
Keitaro Sighed 'I hate when he does this' Keitaro though to himself
Sarah hit Keitaro in the back of the head "Well looks like you're Training me tonight Dork-Sensei." She said bowing to him.
"Maybe I can teach you some lessons about respect." Keitaro mused to himself.
Sarah glared at Keitaro "Just hurry up I want to start training and its boring having to wait for you to finish." Sarah Stated
After a few minutes Keitaro had completely cleaned up his work area and headed to the door with Sarah behind him. "Come on Sarah hurry up I haven't got all day." he said reaching in his pocket for the key so he could lock the door to the work room. Before he could turn around to call Sarah Again she had jumped on his shoulders.
Keitaro was thrown off slightly "what are you doing Sarah?" Keitaro asked.
"I want a piggy back ride." Sarah told him, her voice like a 5 year old.
"Sarah your 11 years old... Why do you still do this?" Keitaro asked as he turned and closed the door. When he got out to the hall way, he locked the door swiftly.
"Because its fun and I like the view from here." Sarah replied
Keitaro sighed "Fine. We better get going before we miss the train."
After short train ride, they were back at the Inn. Haruka saw him and waved at him, trying to get his attention.
"Hey Keitaro!" She yelled in his direction.
"Hey Aunt Haruka!" Keitaro yelled back. "Any news from Granny Hina yet?"
Haruka thought for a moment and looked at the fax she had just received.
"Nope, nothing. You two have fun!" Haruka said, taking a drag of her cigarette.
Keitaro continue up the stairs with Sarah on his shoulders.
"I know I should tell him soon but I think Ill make his life little more hellish for calling me Aunt." Haruka mused as she went back into the tea house.
Keitaro had just gotten to the top of the stairs when Sarah spoke up.
"Is she really your aunt?" Sarah asked as they reached the door.
"Yes she is," Keitaro said with a smile on his face. "She actually knows Seta too... She used to date him, I think."
Sarah looked in awe. "Really? Maybe she might have known my Mom…" Sarah said out loud.
"Well, if you want to visit her after training, you can." Keitaro suggested
"Really!?" Sarah shouted excitedly. She hugged Keitaro's head tightly "THANKS KEITARO!"
Just as she was doing this Kitsune came in
"Well look who's home. I never knew you had a Daughter." Kitsune Said with a mysterious tone to her voice
"O she's not my..." Keitaro started to explain but then Naru Came bounding down the stairs with her fist ready "YOU PERVERT I KNEW YOU WERE NOTHING BUT A LETROUS MALE " She Screamed as she was about to hit him He through Sarah out of the line of path having her land right on the Couch , But the fist was still going towards Keitaro so he grabbed the fist and pulled it behind Naru's back using an wrist take down. A loud crack filled the air.
"AHHH YOU PERVERT!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO A WOMAN?!?!?!?!" Naru screamed.
Motoko came running down the stairs with her sword ready.
"WHATS WRONG NARU?" Motoko said before she spotted what happened.
"KEITARO!" She shouted.
Keitaro snapped out of his daze and released Naru.
Kitsune ran over to Naru. "Jesus Keitaro, You broke her wrist!" Kitsune said after examining Naru's wrist.
Keitaro stood there looking at Naru, trying to say something "I'm soo sorry!" Is all they heard before Keitaro ran out the front doors.
"Wait Dork! Come back!" Sarah shouted as he ran away.
"Should we go after him?" Shinobu asked in a small voice after coming out because of all the commotion.
"No let him get away for a little bit. He needs to sort out his thoughts". Motoko said seriously.
Su jumped on to Sarah with her usual curious nature. "HIYA I AM SU. Who are you?" Su Asked in her usual manner.
"My name is Sarah. I am the dork's teacher's Daughter." She said trying to get Su off of her.
Motoko looked at her with a small smile "I thought I recognised you" Motoko said looking at her. "We met years ago. Back when you were only 5" Motoko said becoming eye level with Sarah.
Sarah looked questioningly at her "Really? So dose that mean I met the dork before then?" She asked seriously
Motoko chuckled at this. "Yes you did" Motoko said with a smirk on her face "When ever you came to visit you always wanted to see Keitaro you were quite taken with him."
Sarah's eyes opened wide "W-w-w-w-What? no! Me?! never?! Not with that Dork!" Sarah said trying to sound as tough as she could.
"You don't believe me than ask Seta then." Motoko said turning away from Sarah and moving up stairs.
"HEY!" Sarah called after her. "What about the dork? He is supposed to be training and teaching me."
Motoko thought for a moment "Well you can come with me I suppose and I can teach you a little and maybe teach you some moves to take Keitaro down without fighting dirty. " Motoko Responded
Sarah Thought for a moment "Ya I wanna do that, Let's go!" Sarah Said excitedly following Motoko to the roof to learn something new.
====== Tea House=====
Keitaro had run, run fast to get to his destination the Tea House.
He knew that Haruka would help him make sense of what he did and give him some advice as to what to do.
He ran into the Tea house to see Haruka sitting in one of the chairs with a cigarette in her mouth puffing away peacefully.
Haruka looked at her Nephew curiously "Keitaro what did you do this time?" She asked
Keitaro started to stammer and try to explain quickly which made it sound like gibberish.
Haruka smacked Keitaro with a paper fan. "Keitaro Calm down, Take a deep breath and then explain." Haruka said calmly
Keitaro took a deep breath and calmed down.
Haruka poured a glass of tea and handed it to him. "Feel better?" Haruka asked nicely
Keitaro nodded "Good" Haruka responded "Now tell me what's wrong"
"Well..." Keitaro Started "You know how I brought Sarah home with be?"
"You mean that little girl that you were carrying on your back Is Seta's daughter Sarah?" Haruka asked shocked
"Ya that would be her, well I was carrying her up and when I got to the house Kitsune was making a joke about asking me if she was my daughter well Naru didn't take this too well and tried to hit me." Keitaro paused to take a sip of his tea " Well I caught the fist out of reflex since I was thinking more about protecting Sarah , and I took her down with a wrist take down but I held it to tightly and I.....I Broke her wrist." Keitaro looked down at the end of explaining.
Haruka Sighed "O Keitaro "
"I know it was stupid and wrong and she may never accept my apology. I wish I could somehow make things right, But she hates me...."
Haruka sighed "well I suppose I should tell you this now so you can start and try and fix things between her and yourself." Haruka said reaching into her apron pocket and pulling out the fax "Granny Hina sent a fax for you finally"
Keitaro perked up at this "Really what does it say?" Keitaro said before taking a sip of tea.
Haruka sighed again "She made you Land Lord of the Inn"
Keitaro spit all the tea that he had just taken in his mouth out "WHAT??"
"Thought you would respond to it in that way." Haruka said seriously
=== Up at the Inn====
The Doctor had made a house call and Naru now had he hand in a soft cast for a short time till she could go to the hospital tomorrow.
"Naru why didn't you just go to the Hospital Sugar?" Kitsune asked as she handed Naru a small glass of Sake
"Because" Naru Started downing the whole little glass lifting it up to her for more "I would rather see how it is tomorrow even the doctor said it might not have been a full brake it may just be a fracture."
Kitsune refilled her glass muttering "I still think you should go just to be sure"
"It is his entire fault" Naru said angrily "He hurt my wrist. When I see him next I will beat him senseless" Naru said downing another Glass of Sake.
"I really wish you would go easy on this stuff ... This is my strongest stuff" Kitsune said filling the glass again which Naru had pushed in her Direction. "Also you can't hit Keitaro with your Right hand for a while you might make it worse"
"I may not but I can at least beat him up using my left." Naru said downing the glass of sake again.
----- The Roof----
Motoko was teaching Sarah some of the basics of her fighting style. What surprised her was that Sarah was learning fast. She reminded her of Kanako very quick learner and a bit of a brat.
"You are improving Sarah." Motoko said seriously "You may even be a match for Keitaro now
"Well I dunno about that Motoko" Sarah started "He is still pretty good. But at least I can give him a run for his money "She said with a grin on her face.
"Perhaps it is time to see if Keitaro is back." Motoko said looking at a watch she had hidden in her robes "He has been gone for about an Hour he should be back soon." She said headed for the stairs "Maybe you can even challenge Keitaro to a fight"
------The Living room----------
All the other girls were already there Su was Perched like a bird on one of the sofas Shinobu was sitting next to Naru looking sort of nervous and Kitsune was sitting on one of the chairs near Naru with a bottle of sake.
Motoko came down the stares with Sarah Following behind
She looked around confused as to why all of the other Girls were already here and waiting for something.
"What is the meaning of this?" Motoko asked Curiously
Kitsune looked over at Motoko "Haruka called a meeting she says it's something important."
"Then why hadn't you gotten me?" Motoko asked Kitsune
"We didn't want to bother you just yet." Shinobu said meekly.
"Well it doesn't matter now." Every one turned to the door to seek Haruka with Keitaro behind her keeping his head down. "She is hear now and So am I. Lets get this meeting started"
Naru saw Keitaro and was going to hit him. Haruka saw this and so did Motoko; She grabbed Naru by the shoulder.
"LET GO OF ME HE DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED" Naru shouted
Motoko kept a firm hand on her. "He did not start that fight. You did" Motoko stated
"Thank you Motoko" Haruka stated "Yes Naru you did start the fight and Keitaro was merely defending himself isn't that right Keitaro" she said turning to Keitaro
"Yes, Naru I am sorry if I hurt you and I will pay for any Medical bills that you may have by my cause" Keitaro said bowing
Naru sat back down muttering an angry "Whatever."
The reason Naru said this is because she knew she wouldn't win. Not with Motoko and Haruka here.
"Well now that's taken care of I got a Fax from granny Hina." Haruka Started
The girls began to ask questions some of them were: Is she alright? Where is she now?, How much longer will she be gone?, Is she bringing me back Bananas?
Haruka Took a deep breath "She is fine and she has told me she will come back to visit and that she has given the Inn to someone in the family. They will take over as Landlord and Manager."
All the girls were curious
'I hope its Keitaro he is nice' Shinobu thought
'Please don't let it be that pervert Keitaro" Naru thought
'Let it be someone easy to play practical jokes on.' Kitsune thought
'I hope its Kei Kei. He reminds me of Big Brother" thought Su
'Please let it be Keitaro, I could finally stand a chance of being with him now' Motoko thought
Haruka Looked at the sheet of paper
"There are some rules about the new manager that Hina herself has set down. Here they are 1. If you don't like her selections of Manager than you don't have to stay. 2. You cannot vote them out of the position 3. If you do leave you may stay here for 2 weeks before you find a new place to stay, any questions?"
The girls were silent till Kitsune broke the silence
"who are the new Manager/ Landlord?"
Haruka took a drag of her Cigarette "Well you know them. Well, the new manager is Keitaro, my nephew."
Naru erupted "WHAT???? I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!!" Naru shouted.
All the other girls seemed not to care too much
Su looked over at Naru "Whys don't you like Keitaros?"
"HE IS A PERVERT AND A MALE CANNOT BE A MANAGER OF AN ALL GIRL DORM!!!" Naru shouted.
Haruka looked over at her "Naru if you don't like you then you better start looking for a new place to live. You know what Granny Hina said."
Naru crossed her arms with a 'humph' "Fine I'll tolerate it for now."
Kitsune stood up "Well in that case..."Kitsune started.
"WELCOME TO HINATA- SOU " (1) Motoko looked on watching the other girls welcome Keitaro with a happy smile on her face
'Now I can try and win him over,' Motoko thought 'Now begins my chance at him being mine!'
