A/N: Now, finally onto something a bit different! I hope you enjoyed the last couple of chapters. Though I hope to move on a bit and get a bit more action into the story.

KjC71790: I'm not sure how I'll fit Kanako into the story yet. Don't worry, I have planned to include as many characters as I can, as long as I enjoy it and find them interesting.

IdiAmeanDada: I'm glad you see an Improvement. I have tried changing my style slightly, to make it easier to read.

Though making Naru understand can sometimes be quite tough. I might just leave that incident be. I see no reason to begin explaining it now.

I think Kitsune know she crossed a line, but the two will definitely make up again.

Samhan: 'Did it'? I'm writing a T-rated story here, so I couldn't cover it, if they did.. Though it would certainly move things along!

Keitaro meeting Naru's parents.. I can't say anything, but look forward to it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Hina or any of the characters, Ken Akamatsu does. Damn you! *Raises fist in the air*

Timeline of Love Hina: Keitaro Urashima has already failed twice in his entry exams to get into Tokyo University. Naru hasn't graduated Highschool yet, so she is spending most her time either at school or at her room, studying with Keitaro. Last month they both passed their center exams, after Keitaro had fled, when he failed the mock exam again. It's the 1st of February 1999 and Valentines Day is coming up...

- An hour later: On a train -

Naru was sitting beside Keitaro on a train, heading to the Narusegawa residence in Mejiro, where her parents and her younger sister lived. The armrest had been put up, so Naru could rest her head on his shoulder.

Not much was said at first, during the trip. Both too busy, being deep in thought, thinking about their destination. Even though Naru knew her parents to be quite understanding and accept most of her decisions, she hadn't done anything like this before. Bringing home a future husband, certainly weren't an everyday happening.

Things were quite different for Keitaro. He hadn't met her parents yet and Naru hadn't told an awful lot about them. All he knew, was that she had moved into the Hinata, because she didn't get along at home. His grandmother had always been kind enough to lend a hand, were it was needed. Keitaro smiled a bit, at the thought.

All he could do, was be at his best behaviour and hope for the best. They didn't sound like totally irrational people, from what Haruka had told him.

Keitaro had promised Naru, that they'd stop at the next station to get some breakfast. "Sorry Shinobu.." He was apologising inside his head, seeing as they hadn't told Shinobu, they wouldn't be joining them for breakfast. He hoped she wasn't mad at Naru or him, for leaving so sudden and without a word.

Hearing the next station being announced over the speakers, they both got up. Naru had to snap Keitaro out of his thoughts, by pulling gently at the sleeve of his shirt.

Keitaro shook his head quickly and looked at Naru. "Oh, yeah! Sorry." She just chuckled and grabbed his hand, leading them out of the train, walking amongst the many other passengers.

- Shiroishi city -

They had arrived in Shiroishi, a sizeable city. They didn't waste any time, heading for the first and best location they could find, to have their breakfast at.

Keitaro had suggested a simple bakery, but Naru had something different in mind. It was their first day out, as a real couple. She definitely wasn't going to let Keitaro ruin it, by just buying them some plain bread, they could chow down on the train.

Keitaro had a feeling this was gonna hurt his wallet, seeing were Naru was dragging him. She was probably dragging them to some expensive café, were he would have to sell his left arm, just to get a table.

Lucky for him, Naru hadn't picked an overly expensive café. It was rather nice, located a bit outside town square. They had gotten a small table outside. It was a pretty nice looking wooden table, with matching wooden chairs and a couple short unlit candles.

Naru saw Keitaro's worried expression and grabbed his hand on the table. "Don't worry. It isn't as expensive as it looks. I've been here once before, with my parents." She assured him, hoping to calm him.

It looked to have helped, as he gave a small sigh of relief and smiled. "Alright.. I'm just always pretty stripped for cash." He replied, scratching the back of his head with his free hand. He had wanted to see if he could keep a job, beside his studies and the landlord work at the Hinata, but it seemed like he could never find the time.

Naru gave him a kind chuckle. "You know, seeing as marriage is about sharing your lives, we could also share the bill at times. I know how hard you work at the Hinata, so it's only fair I give a little back." She told him, feeling happy from talking about the marriage again. The little they had discussed it, had only been to pick a date, so she hoped they continue one day. It wouldn't do, if her wedding wasn't properly planned.

Keitaro gave her a nod in agreement. "At least let me pay for today. I won't mind." He told her, insisting she let him treat her breakfast.

Sighing, she gave in. "Okay. But don't go spending all your money on me." She told him with a wink. Keitaro chuckled at that and squeezed her hand gently.

It didn't take long, before a waiter showed to up take their orders. "Konnichiwa. May I take you orders?" The female waistress asked. She looked to be in her mid twenties.

Naru took a glance at the menu, before looking up at her. "I think we'll just have the steamed rice and miso soup, with the various side dishes you offer." Naru said, handing the waitress the menu, Keitaro doing the same, seeming satisfied with her choice.

"Also, could we get some green tea?" Keitaro asked and the waitress nodded in return.

"Of course, right away." She said and bowed, before going back inside the café with their orders.

Naru kept a sharp eye on Keitaro, the whole time the waitress had been here. Once she had left, he decided to ask her why. "Uhm.. Naru? Is something wrong?"

Naru sighed, before replying to his question. "Do you think she was pretty?

"What?" He looked at her and blinked a couple times. It was a weird question. "I guess she was okay." He answered her, not really seeing what she was getting at.

Naru made a 'Hmph' sound and crossed her arms, looking slightly offended.

Keitaro quickly caught on after that. "But I prefer the long haired, hot-tempered, blond girls." He said with a cheeky grin, making Naru slightly redden and slowly look at him again.

Naru and Keitaro enjoyed breakfast, once it had arrived, without any unpleasantries happening. It was probably the first time, the two had been able to sit down and enjoy themselves, without being interrupted in the midst of everything.

Naru was discussing some potential types of wedding cakes, flowers and decorations, while Keitaro tried to keep up. She was really wanted this wedding to be perfect.

Keitaro most of all just wanted them to be together. But he wanted it to be an enjoyable day, so he didn't mind whatever Naru wanted for the wedding. Naru did seem to have a sense for such things after all.

- At the Narusegawa residence -

The rest of the trip had gone by uneventful. Keitaro had paid for the food and the two had left for the next train to Mejiro. Having just gotten out of the train, Naru hooked her arm with Keitaro, who accepted it happily. He gave his a peck on the cheek, making her giggle sweetly.

"Let's get going, my parent's house is only a couple blocks away." Naru told him, directing him through the pack of people at the platform. She knew the streets they walked in, having grown up here.

It didn't take more then 10 minutes, to walk from the train station to her parent's place. When they stood at the gate, Naru saw her parents through the big windows at the front. It sounded like a small voice alerted them, that the two were standing outside.

Moments later, three people emerged from the front door and a young girl ran up to hug Naru. "Naru!" She yelled in joy, making Naru smile and giggle slightly.

Naru and Keitaro went a bit inside, past the gates and got greeted by Naru's mother. "Hey Naru, nice to see you!" She said, in a warm welcoming tone.

Naru looked at her mother, with the same kind of smile and replied. "Hey mom! I have someone I want you to met.." She made a small paused, before grabbing Keitaro's arm again and pulled him up close to her side, making Mei, her little sister, back off a little. "My fiancé, Keitaro Urashima."

Naru's father walked up to the two and gave Keitaro a handshake, while he put his other hand on his shoulder. "Well, welcome to the family. I'm Mr. Narusegawa. The fine young lady at the porch is Naru's mother, Mrs. Narusegawa." He told Keitaro, but not being done yet, he turned his attention to the young girl before them. "And this is Mei, Naru's little sister."

Keitaro accepted the strong mans handshake and presented himself as well. "Well, I'm Keitaro Urashima. I've been studying with your daughter, to get into Tokyo U, for the last year." He said and also gave a big smile. They seemed like nice people. He wondered what had caused Naru to move out.

Mrs. Narusegawa had walked up to them, during they exchange of handshake. Instead of grabbing the hand, Keitaro had offered her, she had pulled him in for a hug. "I'm happy Naru found someone she loves. Take good care of her, alright?" She asked Keitaro, being awfully sweet in her plead.

Breaking up the hug, Keitaro smiled and agreed. "Don't worry. She hasn't regretted accepting my ring yet, anyway." He received a gentle puff from Naru to his shoulder, making him chuckle and give her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm kidding. I love you."

Mei's expression was a mix of confusion, sadness and happiness. She hadn't yet decided what she felt about the situation. One was for sure. Naru had agreed to marry a guy, she had never spoken of before and was possibly deeply in love with him. She was afraid of loosing her, seeing as she would have no reason to ever come back, as long as she had him.

- Break -

A/N: I did a bit of research. It seems like the Hinata building is based off a hotspring inn in Hanamaki and some other hotsprings hotels in Yamagata. The Narusegawa residence is in Mejiro, Tokyo. For the sake of the trip, I wanted to be sure where we were.

About what Naru ordered at the cafe.. That's pretty much a very traditional Japanese breakfast. Steamed rice with miso soup, Natto (fermented soy beans), Nori (dried seaweed), Tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) and other small dishes. Very nutritious.

I promise I'll get more into what happens at Naru's parent's place, in the next chapter.

But please, I will need NAMES for 'Mr. and Mrs. Narusegawa', unless you want me to keep calling them that.

My opinion on the Hinata Characters

Mei Narusegawa:

Mei is kind of forward like Naru, but also has quite a baggage like her. It hit Naru pretty hard, when Mei and her father moved in with her mother and her. Since Naru was so down about it, Mei felt that it was her fault. So she really cares for her sister.

Back in the Manga/Anime, she isn't especially good with the others at the Hinata (I don't know about her interaction in general with others - but Im figuring it's not the best either?)

Mei's quite hostile towards them, seeing as she want her sister back home.. But I guess after all the mess at the Hinata, she might be on Keitaro's and Naru's side now.

I believe she's quite innocent and I hate to see her so troubled. Letting her take part in the story or any other story, is definently something I could enjoy.
