Confrontations
Keitaro was walking to the building of the university with his girlfriend Miyabi and his two best friends Shirai and Haitani. Keitaro had just told them what happened when he walked Mutsumi to cram school and when Naru sucker punched him.
"So that's what happened," Haitani said.
"Yeah, pretty much," Keitaro replied.
"So Naru assumed you were cheating on me just because you were talking to Mutsumi?" Miyabi asked.
"Yeah…"
"Oh man, sounds like that girl has got a few screws loose," Shirai commented.
"Seriously…"
"And she's one of those girls that live in your grandmother's inn?"
"Yep…"
Miyabi felt anger and Keitaro looked at Miyabi with concern.
"Miyabi…"
"Huh?" Miyabi responded surprised.
"…Miyabi, I'm fine…really."
"Yeah, but still, that damn Naru, she should have never hit you," Miyabi had her thoughts, "If I see her, I'm going to have a little talk with her and warn her what will happen if you attacks my boyfriend again."
Hinata Inn
Haruka was on the balcony smoking one of her cigarettes. Things didn't go as she hoped when she invited Marumi to have a talk with her and she regretted doing it in the first place. She then went inside and went to her room and looked over the list that she made. There were some considerable repairs that needed to be made in the Hinata Inn. She calculated them to see how much it would cost and saw that it was going to very costly. Haruka then simply began looking over the records of the Hinata Inn regarding the tenants and the monthly rent payments to just simply check. As she looked over, she noticed something and narrowed her eyes and sighed.
Haruka got up, "I'm going to have to talk to her."
Haruka went downstairs and went to the lobby and found Kitsune watching television with a beer in hand. Haruka sighed and shook her head as she puffed her cigarette.
Kitsune looked and saw Haruka, "Oh, hey Haruka," Kitsune shook her can a bit, "want to join me?"
"No Kitsune," Haruka replied, "actually, we need to talk."
"Hmm, about what?" Kitsune asked raising her eyebrow.
Haruka took the remote and turned off the television, "Kitsune, we need to talk about your rent."
Kitsune flinched a little, "My rent…?"
"Yes," Haruka went and sat down next to Kitsune, "Kitsune, I've been looking around in the Hinata Inn and there are many things that need to be taken care and fixed here and it's going to be very costly. It was then that I looked over the records and when I looked over the monthly rent payments of the inn, I noticed yours. Kitsune, I've noticed that you haven't made any payments for the last three months."
"Oh, that…Haruka, I've talked to Granny about that when she was here, she said that I don't need to worry and just pay up when I'm able to."
Haruka was surprised to hear this, "Granny actually said that?"
Kitsune nodded happily, "Yeah, she said not to worry and that as soon as I get my job in writing, I will be able start my payments again. Don't worry, I will be getting one real soon, I can feel it."
Haruka shook her head, "Kitsune, you've been saying that for the past year and I haven't even seen you go out and get any jobs for writing. So far, for the past month since Granny left to go back to her world tour, all I've seen you do is sit around, watching television, drinking alcohol, and going out to party every night and coming back the next morning."
"Well, things are a bit hard for the moment, you understand, don't you Haruka? It's like when you lost your teashop, it's the same thing for me you know, hard times."
Haruka glared at Kitsune, "No, it's not the same. It's true that I lost my teashop but you don't see me laying around here looking for a free ride which is what you're doing right now."
Kitsune was shocked at what Haruka was saying, "Haruka, what are you…?"
"Kitsune, we going to have a meeting with the others as soon as they all get back from their schools but Kitsune, I want you to start to seriously look for a job, even if it's not for writing. We can't afford to have you just sitting around in the inn and really doing nothing. The Hinata Inn needs to be kept well maintained and it won't do well if the people that live here do absolutely nothing. I seriously want you to be serious about looking for a job because if you don't get one soon, I'll have to evict you."
Kitsune was shocked, "Haruka, you can't be serious."
"I'm dead serious, so you better be serious of looking and not just sit around and continue to get money from guys you trick out of with your charms and yes, I know about it and don't ask why I do but you need to know that if you keep at it, you may give some guy the wrong idea of what you're offering or worse. I suggest you stop that as well…for your own safety."
Haruka stood up leaving Kitsune and her eyes widened.
"But Granny said that-" Kitsune tried to say.
"Granny doesn't always know what's best," Haruka interrupted.
Kitsune was shocked again, "Haruka, what are you saying?"
Haruka just left and Kitsune didn't know what to do.
Shinobu and Su's Middle School
It was lunch time and Shinobu was sitting on a bench that was by a tree and had her thoughts in. She then proceeded to open her bento and looked at the food she made herself. Su came by and saw Shinobu.
"Hey Shinobu, you want to eat with me?" Su asked.
Shinobu looked at Su and just nodded. Su had a huge grin and went to sit next to Shinobu to have her lunch, which was just bananas. It was then that three girls looked at Shinobu and Su. The first girl had dark brown hair that was tied to pigtails, the second had long dark purple hair, and the third had short black hair.
Shinobu saw the three girls and waved at them, "Oh, Miyuki, Sana, and Hiroe too, would like to join us?"
Su saw them and waved, "Hey, come sit with us."
The three girls looked at each other and then looked back at the duo.
"So Shinobu, you still want to hang out with that crazy foreigner," the dark brown hair girl Miyuki said pointing at Su.
Su was shocked at what Miyuki said.
Shinobu flinched, "W-What do you mean?"
"Gee, did you forget what happened three months ago?" the short black hair girl Hiroe asked with disdain.
"Oh, n-no, but it was all a misunderstanding, she and the others didn't mean anything by it. I'm sure if we can all talk about it-"
"Forget it," the long dark purple hair girl name Sana interrupted, "let's go, I personally don't want to be anywhere near them."
"Yeah, let's go," Miyuki said.
"Hey, don't be mean to Shinobu," Su said angrily with a glare for the three girls.
The three girls left.
Su didn't like what the three said, "That was mean," Su looked at Shinobu who was upset and was about to cry, "Shinobu…"
"Do they even consider me as their friend anymore?" Shinobu asked with tears stating to flow down from her eyes.
Tokyo University of the Arts
Keitaro was sitting through his architect class with lecture that came with the history. Keitaro was very fascinated as he looked around and saw that the class was full. He considered himself to be lucky to be in the particular architect that he was in as it was very popular. After some time, the class was over and Keitaro was ready to go to his next class. Keitaro walked in the halls going to his next class.
"Are you Keitaro Urashima?" a male's voice asked.
Keitaro stopped and looked at the person that asked him, a young man that had long brunette hair tied to a ponytail and wore glasses wearing a brown polo shirt, gray slacks, and black shoes.
"Yes?" Keitaro responded.
The young man pushed his glasses and smiled, "I thought so."
Keitaro was confused, "I'm sorry but do I know you?"
"No, but I've seen you before, you're Haruka's nephew."
Keitaro was surprised, "You know my Aunt Haruka?"
"Yeah, my name is Ryoji, Ryoji Sumeragi. I used to work at your aunt's teashop and…"
"And…?"
"I testified against your aunt in the lawsuit."
"Oh, so you did," Keitaro responded not shocked at what Ryoji said.
"Yeah, anyway, I'm glad to run into you," Ryoji said and then had a serious look, "there's something that I need to talk to you about."
Keitaro looked at Ryoji and then nodded, "I'm going to my next class," Keitaro pointed in front of him, "if you're going to the same direction, I can hear what you want to tell me."
"Yeah, sure."
Keitaro and Ryoji walked to same direction
Motoko's All-Girl High School
Motoko was walking with her three fan girls. They soon arrive at a door.
"Well, this is my stop, I have kendo practice," Motoko said.
"Oh, that's right you do," Emi said.
"Motoko-senpai, good luck, we'll see you again," Kikuko said.
Motoko nodded, "Indeed, have a good day you three."
"Motoko-senpai," Sachiyo spoke.
"Yes?"
"Don't worry about that stupid male that made you angry, you're still the best and usually guys like him are all bark and no bite."
"That's true and he should consider himself lucky for if not for his grandmother, you would have wiped the floor with him," Emi said with confidence.
Motoko nodded pleased what she was being told, "Thank you, I appreciate what you said. A male like him will only earn to be put in his place."
"Still though, it's irritating that he would insult you and your friends at that inn," Kikuko said, "I would enjoy seeing him being taught a lesson."
"Well, don't worry, there's nothing I can't handle, that disgusting perverted cowardly male doesn't stand a chance against me and I know I can prove it. Anyway, I have to go; I'll see you three later."
"Bye Motoko-senpai," the three fan girls responded in unison.
Motoko went inside for her kendo practice and the three fan girls left. They soon went outside and were leaving their school.
"I can't believe that Motoko-senpai had to deal with such a male," Sachiyo said.
"As always, all guys are the same, there's nothing good about them," Kikuko said.
"That is so true," Emi added.
Kikuko stopped, "Hey, Emi, Sachiyo."
Sachiyo and Emi stopped and looked at Kikuko.
"What is it Kikuko?" Emi asked.
"Let's go find him."
"Find who?"
"You know that stupid perverted guy that Motoko-senpai mentioned, Keitaro Urashima."
"Huh, what for?" Sachiyo asked.
Kikuko narrowed her eyes, "To make him understand that he's a stupid male and he should face Motoko in a duel."
"What do you mean?" Emi asked.
"You know Motoko wants to fight him and prove that she's better than him but he's thinks that senpai doesn't really have any skill and that he believes that he can walk all over her and her friends at the Hinata Inn."
"You want to create a situation where he would have to fight Motoko-senpai and so that Motoko-senpai can prove that she is better."
"That's right, Motoko-senpai has helped us so much and taught us that we can be better and independent, I believe that it's our turn to help her."
"I see…" Sachiyo said, "If we can do that and watch…"
"It would help our role model and then…" Emi nodded and then looked at Kikuko, "Kikuko, it sounds like a good idea."
Sachiyo nodded, "Yeah…okay, so where do we find this guy?"
Kikuko had smug look, "Don't forget what Motoko-senpai said…let's go."
"Yes," Emi and Sachiyo said in unison and the three went to find Keitaro.
Cram School
After some time later on, cram school was over and students were leaving the campus. Naru was walking and sighed. Naru never expected things to go as they did and she was very annoyed by it. Naru looked over and saw Mutsumi walk passed her and Naru frown when she saw her. It made her upset the way Mutsumi spoke to her like she did. Naru decided to walk and then she noticed someone at the gate and recognized that person and was shocked to see it was Sakura Tanigawa.
"What the…?" Naru spoke surprised, "Why is she here?"
"Hi Sakura," Mutsumi greeted as she rushed over to Sakura.
Sakura saw Mutsumi and smiled, "Hi Mutsumi."
Naru was surprised, "Do they know each other?"
Naru got curious and decided to get a closer look. As Naru got close enough where she could hear and not get noticed, she raised her eyebrow.
"How was it?" Sakura asked.
"Well, it was fine, despite an unpleasant incident that happened," Mutsumi answered.
"Hmm? Well, you can tell me about it as I give you a ride."
Mutsumi nodded, "Yeah, sure."
Naru watched as Mutsumi and Sakura left and went to and got in Sakura's green sports car and Sakura started the engine and drove off. Naru walked a bit more and looked on.
"So Sakura is actually friends with that Mutsumi person," Naru said, "Sakura Tanigawa, she's the reason why Haruka lost her teashop," Naru got upset, "how could she live with herself knowing that she destroyed Haruka's livelihood and for what?" Naru shook her head, "I should just head back and maybe I can ask Haruka."
Naru started to head back to the Hinata Inn.
With Shinobu and Su
Shinobu and Su were walking back after they had finished their classes and school was over for them.
"I have to go get some groceries to prepare dinner," Shinobu said.
Su got excited, "All right, let's go, I wants some more bananas."
Shinobu stopped, "Su."
Su stopped and looked at Shinobu, "Hmm, what?"
"Su, you do know where you're suppose to go now, right?"
Su puffed her cheeks as she knew what Shinobu was referring, "I'm not going."
Shinobu was surprised, "You're not going?"
Su crossed her arms, "That's right, I'm not going. I'm sick of having to go work there. They don't even let have a little fun there."
Shinobu sighed, "Su, that's not up to you. That was the condition that was made for you. You know what will happen if you don't go and work there."
"But I don't want to Shinobu, it's not fun, they won't even let me make things there."
"It's not supposed to be fun and of course they wouldn't let you make things. Su, are you forgetting that if you don't, things will go bad for not only you but for the Molmol."
Su whined, "Granny wouldn't let this happen, she would have helped us."
"They wouldn't let Granny interfere and besides…even if Granny was to try, I don't think she would have been able to do much anyway."
Su looked at Shinobu, "I really don't get you Shinobu."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"It seems like you're on their side."
"What?" Shinobu shook her head, "I'm not on anyone's side. I'm just saying that you can't just shirk off your responsibilities. You can't act a kid who doesn't know any better. It's not how it usually works. Besides, remember why this happened in the first place."
Su puffed her cheeks again, "I don't like them, those meanies, just because I ate the brownies."
Shinobu sighed and went to Su, "Su, please understand, you know that what you did was wrong and I can understand what they're feeling. My parents owned a restaurant and if that had happened to me and my parents in our restaurant, we would have reacted the same way."
Su just looked at Shinobu and Shinobu was sad as she figured that her friend still didn't understand.
"Granny would have fixed this," Su said with her head down and went to the other direction to where she had to go.
Shinobu was getting a bit depress, "I hope Su's not mad at me…it's just…" Shinobu just went silent and just decided to head for the supermarket.
With Keitaro and Miyabi
The young couple walked on the sidewalk after they both finished with their classes for the day. They stopped at a cross section.
"I'm going to buy some groceries at the supermarket and I'll see you at your place," Miyabi said.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it," Keitaro said with a smile, "I'm curious, what are you going to make when you come over?"
Miyabi waved her finger with a smile, "Uh, uh, uh, I'm not telling, you're going to have to wait."
Keitaro rubbed the back of head with a goofy grin, "Oh well…"
Miyabi simply smiled, "Keitaro…"
"Hmm?"
Miyabi went and whispered something in her boyfriend's ear and Keitaro's eyes widened and looked at his girlfriend with a surprised expression.
"Mi-Miyabi, are you-" Keitaro spoke only to have Miyabi put her finger on his lips silencing him.
"I'll see you at your place," Miyabi said and then kissed him on the lips.
When Miyabi released her lips from Keitaro, she smiled seductively and went on her way. Keitaro was too stunned to move and then flinched with a jolt.
"Oh boy, I wonder if…" Keitaro spoke but stopped himself and shook his head comically, "damn, what the hell am I thinking?" Keitaro sighed, "I really shouldn't read too much of it."
Keitaro started walking again.
Hinata Park
Keitaro arrived at the park. He looked around and remembered the last time he was here. He frowned because it was the time that he was on his date with Miyabi to which it was spoiled when his Aunt Haruka and the girls from his grandmother's inn showed and tried to get him to accept the management position.
Flashback: One month ago
Keitaro and his girlfriend Miyabi were facing the Hinata Girls and Haruka and Keitaro was irritated in what was going on.
"What the hell do you all want?" Keitaro asked upset.
"We came to see you jerk," Naru responded in anger.
"See me about what?"
"We came to ask you to please take the job as the manager of the Hinata Inn in place of Granny," Kitsune said.
Keitaro couldn't believe it, "You have got to be kidding me."
"This is no joke Urashima," Motoko said glaring at Keitaro.
"I made it clear to all of you and to my grandmother that will not, absolutely not run the Hinata Inn. I thought you would all get that and why are you all here to try to convince me anyway. None of you liked the idea anyway so why are you here to try to get me to run the inn."
"We came to help Granny and she really feels that you should be the one even if we don't agree with it."
"Did Granny put you all up to this?"
"No, we're here on our own," Haruka said, "Granny doesn't even know."
Keitaro was shaking his head, "You're all annoying, you know that, don't you?"
Flashback End
Keitaro sighed as he was annoyed at that memory, "Things got messed because they really wouldn't take no for an answer. The plan I had for my date with Miyabi was ruined, all because of my damn grandmother…well, at least I no longer have to worry about it anymore and I'm glad my grandmother finally got the message."
Meanwhile, Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko came by the Hinata Park as well to simply relax for a while. They learned from Motoko where Keitaro lived and how to get there so they planned to go there and pay him a visit with the intent for their plan. They had also learned from Motoko of what he looked like. After a bit of time, Emi looked on and saw someone and it was someone that matched the description Motoko provided.
"Hey Kikuko, Sachiyo, look over there," Emi said pointing.
Sachiyo and Kikuko saw where Emi was pointing and they were surprised to see Keitaro.
"Is that him?" Sachiyo asked.
"Let's go find out," Kikuko suggested.
The three girls went to Keitaro. Keitaro was walking around in the park and was on his way to his apartment.
"Excuse us," a girl's voice said.
Keitaro turned to see three girls, "Hmm, can I help you?"
"Are you Keitaro Urashima?" Sachiyo asked.
Keitaro raised his eyebrow a bit surprised, "Oh, yes, I'm Keitaro Urashima."
"Figured as much," Emi said glaring at Keitaro.
"So you're the one," Kikuko said as she and Sachiyo were also glaring at Keitaro.
Keitaro didn't like the glares, "What's going on? Why are you three glaring at me?"
"You really are just a typical stupid guy," Sachiyo said.
Keitaro was taken back, "Excuse me? You don't even know me."
"We know all that we need to know from Motoko-senpai," Emi said.
"Motoko?"
"That's right, Motoko Aoyama, you met her at your grandmother's inn."
Keitaro closed his eyes irritated, "Oh, that's right," Keitaro opened his eyes, "Am I to assume that you three are friends of hers?"
"We consider Motoko-senpai as our role model," Kikuko said and pointed her finger at Keitaro, "a strong and independent girl who doesn't take nonsense from stupid guys like you."
"Really? So exactly why are you three here to see me?"
Sachiyo huffed, "You think you're so much better than Motoko-senpai, don't you?"
"You don't know how strong Motoko-senpai really is," Kikuko added.
"Yeah, if you had dueled against her, she would show you how weak you really are," Emi added, "you're just a typical guy that talk all the talk but can't back it up."
Keitaro simply pushed his glasses, "I don't know what Motoko has been telling you about me and frankly I really don't care," Keitaro turned, "I'm not going to bother telling you mindless followers since you seem act like Motoko is some sort of god, putting her on such a high pedestal. All I'm going to say that Motoko is immature and sexist and you three are having that same mindset but that won't get you far in life. I'm going."
Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko got irritated at what Keitaro said.
"You got some nerve," Kikuko said and then had a grin, "you're nothing compared to Motoko-senpai."
"Whatever…" Keitaro responded uncaring of their opinions.
"It's hard to believe that someone like you actually has a girlfriend," Kikuko shook her head, "it sad, that person, Miyabi Aizawa, right? She must be just some dumb bitch to go out with someone like you."
"Oh yeah," Sachiyo added, "A stupid ignorant woman."
"I bet that Miyabi would go for just any guy because she's a weak willed woman who can't be independent, just like Motoko-senpai said," Emi said with venom.
"What did you three say?" Keitaro said with venom as he stopped suddenly.
"What, you have a problem?" Sachiyo gloated.
Keitaro turned to face the girls with a vicious death glare, "I could really care less if you insult me but you three disgusting brats have the nerve to insult my girlfriend…now that bothers me."
Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko suddenly got nervous.
"H-Hey, what's with that look?"Emi asked as she, Sachiyo and Kikuko felt they needed to defend themselves.
"Wh-What's with you?" Kikuko said nervously.
"You better…you better not try anything or you'll be in serious trouble," Sachiyo said trying to put up a brave front.
Keitaro started walking towards them, "You three are just like Motoko all right, you really have absolutely no manners."
Three girls didn't know why but each of them felt a terrible chill and felt scared.
Hinata Supermarket
Shinobu was getting supplies so that she could cook for not only dinner but to prepare meals and snacks for the week. As Shinobu was picking up things, she saw someone and was surprised to see the person as the person turned and saw Shinobu.
"Oh, it's, uh, Shinobu, right?" Miyabi said as she had her hands with some food as well.
"Uh…yes, h-hello again Miyabi," Shinobu replied nervously.
"Buying food for your dorm mates?"
"Um yes, I do the cooking and they always enjoy what I make."
"…I see…"
"Um Miyabi, are you doing the same for yourself?"
"Actually, I'm going to cook for my boyfriend at his place today."
Shinobu was surprised, "R-Really?"
"That's right."
"Just the two of you?"
"Yes…"
"Oh…" Shinobu then had some thought of how a couple would spend time alone and then blushed.
Miyabi looked at Shinobu and sighed, "Can I ask you something Shinobu?"
Shinobu looked at Miyabi a bit surprised, "Hmm? What is it?"
Shichimura Apartment Complex
Keitaro had just returned to the building and when he got inside, his landlord/boss, Shinsuke was there waiting for him.
"Finally back," Shinsuke said.
Keitaro nodded, "Yes."
"All right Keitaro, there is some things that I want you to do today. So put your bag in your apartment and then meet me on the third floor."
"Yes Shinsuke," Keitaro obliged as Keitaro went to go to his apartment.
Motoko's All-Girl High School
Motoko had just finished with her kendo practice with her team and was leaving the gate. As she did that, she saw her fan girls running to her very upset.
"Motoko-senpai!" Kikuko screeched.
Motoko was surprised to see Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko running to her and she saw that each of them crying as they went to hug Motoko.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Motoko asked with concern.
"Motoko-senpai, it was awful," Emi said.
"It was horrible," Sachiyo said upset.
"What…?" Motoko looked at the three, "Okay, I need you three to calm down."
They did just that as they let go of Motoko.
"Tell me, what happened?" Motoko asked.
Sachiyo started, "We…we ran into Keitaro Urashima."
Motoko was surprised, "Are you sure it was Urashima?"
The three girls nodded.
"Yes Motoko-senpai, it was him," Kikuko said.
"Did he…did that vile male did something to you three?" Motoko asked.
The three girls nodded again and they were shaking and that made Motoko angry.
"We just saw him by chance and we told him that he was wrong in what he said to you and your friends at the Hinata Inn," Emi said.
"We're sorry Motoko-senpai," Sachiyo said with guilt, "we tried to be as strong as you showed us but he…that guy was too much for us and we couldn't…."
Motoko sighed, "It's okay, it's really not your fault and you did the best as you could."
"Motoko-senpai," Kikuko spoke.
"I'll deal with him myself."
"What will you do?" Sachiyo asked.
Motoko had serious expression, "I will challenge Urashima to a duel and prove how weak he really is."
The three fan girls had widened eyes with hope.
"Motoko-senpai…" Kikuko spoke.
"You'll take him on?" Emi asked.
Motoko smiled at them, "Yes, don't worry, I'll take care of everything and when I'm done with him, he won't bother or harass any other female. In fact, I'm sure that even his so-called girlfriend will see that he's not worth it."
Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko were moved by what Motoko said and they went to hug Motoko, surprising the God Cry School heir.
"Motoko-senpai!" The three girls said with happiness.
Motoko had her thoughts, "Urashima, you have gone too far."
In front of the Hinata Supermarket
Miyabi and Shinobu stepped out of the supermarket with their bags.
"Will you at least think about what I said?" Miyabi asked.
Shinobu looked at Miyabi, "Um, well, I get what you're saying but…"
"Well, really, it's up to you, you decide. I have no intention to make you do anything."
"Shinobu?" A voice spoke.
Shinobu and Miyabi looked over and saw Naru.
"Naru?" Shinobu spoke surprised seeing Naru wearing such thick glasses and her hair tied in twin braided tails, "Is that you?"
Naru looked at Miyabi and glared at her with her thick glasses.
"Wow, I never knew you wear thick glasses, Naru," Miyabi commented.
"Miyabi…"
"But…" Miyabi narrowed her eyes at Naru, "since you're here, I have something to give you."
"Oh really, and what would that be?" Naru asked suspiciously.
"Shinobu, can you hold my two bags for a moment?"
Shinobu was surprised, "Huh? Um, sure…okay…"
Shinobu held Miyabi's bags and Miyabi went and stood in front of Naru.
Naru was taken back with Miyabi standing in front of her with a vicious glare, "Wh-What?"
Miyabi gave Naru a huge slap to the face causing Naru's glasses to fall off her face, dropping her bag, and making her fall on the ground. This caught Naru and Shinobu by surprise.
"Miyabi, what are you doing?!" Shinobu asked horrified at what she saw.
Naru's eyes widened and she put her hand on her slapped cheek and looked at Miyabi with surprise and rage, "What the hell was that for?!"
Miyabi went and viciously grabbed Naru by her collar and picked her up off the ground making Naru look her as he she had her vicious glare, "That's for sucker punching my Keitaro at cram school for no real reason."
"What?" Shinobu asked shocked, "Naru, what is she talking about?"
"Naru punched Keitaro at the cram school because she made the assumption that Keitaro was cheating on me with our friend Mutsumi and it never occurred to her that they were just friends."
Naru gritted her teeth, "I guess Keitaro told you."
Miyabi pulled Naru further staring at Naru with cold eyes, "Of course he did, although he didn't seem like he wanted to tell me. I guess it was too shameful for him that he got sucker punched by an immature, selfish, spoiled, man-hating bitch like you. What do have to say for yourself, you damn psycho."
Naru still gritted her and Shinobu was shaking.
"Mi-Miyabi…she's very scary…" Shinobu said feeling very scared and hoped that she would never get on Miyabi's bad side, "I wonder if Keitaro's the same way."
Hinata Inn
Motoko was coming back and walking the steps of the Hinata Inn. She glanced at the closed Hinata Teashop. Motoko sighed and continued upstairs and got to the front entrance of the inn. Kitsune opened the door and saw Motoko.
"Hey Motoko, you're back from school," Kitsune said.
"Yes," Motoko replied as she nodded.
Kitsune sighed, "Su not back, but of course, she wouldn't be as she has to work."
"Hmm, she had no choice; it was either that or backlash for Su and her homeland."
"That's true; still, I'm still surprised that she's a princess from a country that I have never heard of until now."
"The same goes for me as well."
Haruka stepped out and stood next to Kitsune, "Welcome back Motoko."
Motoko nodded to Haruka, "Yes, it's good to be back."
There were two more girls coming up and meeting them and it was Naru and Shinobu.
"Hey Shinobu and Naru too," Kitsune greeted, "welcome back."
"Hi," Shinobu said.
"Hey Naru-" Kitsune cut herself off as she as well as Haruka and Motoko saw something on Naru's face.
"Naru!" Motoko spoke surprised.
Haruka went to Naru and checked on her and saw a mark on her face, "Naru, what happened to you?"
Naru just looked at Haruka irritated, "Miyabi is what happened."
"Miyabi?" Motoko spoke surprised.
"What happened?" Kitsune asked.
"Miyabi slapped Naru," Shinobu spoke upset.
Haruka looked at Shinobu and then looked at Naru, "Let's go inside and get some ice for that and then I want to hear what happened."
Haruka and the four Hinata Inn tenants went inside and Motoko and Kitsune were asking Naru if she was okay and if Naru needed anything.
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Naru tells Haruka what happened, Motoko challenges to Keitaro to a duel, Haruka conducts a meeting with the girls regarding the inn and the living expenses, and Keitaro spends time with Miyabi in his apartment.
A/N: I don't know if some people might think with what happened regarding Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko but I will say that Keitaro did not touch any of them. Just felt that it needed to be said.
