A/N: Hello guys! Very sorry for the greater delay to this chapter. I've been watching a new anime and got so hooked, I spend all my time watching it.

I thank everyone who's read my story this far!

Life's meant to be lived and that's what I intend to do. How this is done, is up to the individual. All I can hope for, is that all of you do the same.

Samhan: Thanks for the help with the names. Ushio (M) and Saori Urashima (F) it'll be than!

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...

- At the Narusegawa residence -

"Naru?" Everyone looked to see young Mei, not looking especially pleased with the development of things. "H-how could you?" Mei bursted into tears and ran inside the house, leaving the her parents, sister and Keitaro with worried expressions.

"Why did that idiot have to come and steal away my sister?" Mei thought, running through the house. "Baka!"

Naru didn't hesitate to follow Mei inside and just as quickly calling out to her. "Mei!" She didn't know, what she had expected to happen. Mei had always wanted to spend more time with Naru, but with her moving out, it hadn't made her particularly happy.

Keitaro stood behind, looking confused at Naru's parents. Her mother just sighed and shook her head. "Don't worry, they'll be alright in a little while. Let's go inside." She said and invited Keitaro to follow them back into the house.

"Alright.. I guess." Keitaro replied and went inside right behind them.

Once inside, Naru's father turned around to face Keitaro again. "Oh, and by the way. My name is Ushio. My wife's Saori." Naru's father explained, trying to get on first-names basis with his future son-in-law.

Keitaro bowed and said. "My pleasure to meet you." Giving them a nice smile, before walking further into the house.

"The pleasure is all ours. You're practically a part of the family already, after all." Saori told him, stiffling a giggle.

Seeing Ushio and Saori taking their seats at the dining table again, Keitaro took a seat opposite them, being gentle in pulling out the chair and slowly sitting down. They had a lovely home. Keitaro could imagine this, to have been a good place to have grown up in.

- In Naru's room -

Mei had, out of pure instinct, run into Naru's room. It stood untouched, from the last time she visited. It hadn't even changed much, since she still lived at the residence.

She had often come to Naru's room. Just to be there, out of pure loneliness from missing her sister. Mei knew they weren't related by blood. That their parents had gotten married, after she was born. But she still loved her as much, as if they had been.

"It's not fair! Why does he get to be with Naru, when I don't?" Mei thought to herself while pouting. Mei had jumped on Naru's bed, curled up in a ball in an upright position and put her pillow between her chest and legs, holding it close to her.

Naru entered not long after, stopping in her tracks in the doorway. She was almost surprised, to see the room so untouched. Of course it had been kept clean. But she still felt somewhat home, remembering her studying in the beginning of high school.

She snapped out of it and looked over at Mei. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, but she kept her gaze at Naru. Naru opened her mouth, but stopped before she said anything. Instead she just walked up to the bed and sat on it beside Mei.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Naru asked, receiving a small shake on the head from Mei. She took off her shoes and moved closer to Mei. Naru had her legs slightly bowed and kept her hand in her lap. But once she gave Mei a small smile, Mei closed her eyes and put her head into the pillow.

Naru's smile disappeared as soon as it had come, replaced with an expression of concern. When she tried putting a hand on Mei's shoulder, Mei retaliated with the pillow, throwing it at Naru. "Mei.. Can we talk about it?" Naru asked, again trying to lay a gentle hand on Mei.

"It's just like when u left!" Mei shouted, looking at Naru without turning her body around. "You never cared about anyone else!"

Naru saddened a little and looked down slightly, from receiving eye contact with Mei. "I'm sorry. That was a long time ago.."

"No! You're just gonna leave me again!" Mei shouted, letting her tears flow freely. "With him!"

Naru quickly took initiative and pulled Mei in for a hug. "Listen. I'm sorry for what happened back then. But this, with Keitaro, it's gonna change things for the better, I promise." Naru explained, while gently stroking Mei's hair.

Mei burrowed her head in Naru's chest, but managed a reply. "How? I'm still not gonna be able to see you!" She had a hard time believing, that it would do much good about the situation.

"Of course you will! I want my sister at my wedding and the preparations to it." Naru replied, smiling to Mei, who moved her head to look at Naru again.

Mei smiled a little and asked. "Really?" Naru just nodded and ruffled her hair, making her giggle.

Naru let Mei set up straight again, before saying. "I bet you'll like him. You have a lot in common."

Mei just looked at her strangely, as she wiped away the tears. "Hmm?" What could that guy possibly have in common with her?

"Well, you're both very caring and you want the best for others. Also, I happen to love both of you." Naru continued, making Mei smile again.

- At the dinning table -

After sorting out the mess, Mei had been quite cheerful the rest of the afternoon. Meeting Keitaro properly, had first seemed kind of awkward. But soon she was all over him, seeming to like him quite a bit. She had practically sat on his lap, as she was jumping up and down very close to him on the couch, talking about the different things that happened in her life. Like how her classes had been and what she did with her friends the other day.

Keitaro was glad she didn't hate him. What ever had troubled her before, had long gone and been replaced with happy thoughts.

Saori had prepared a big meal for them, really showing great skills in cooking. Keitaro complimented her food with a smile. "This really looks good Mrs. Urashima! I can't believe you eat like this every day."

Saori just chuckled and replied. "Thank you! I always do my best, when I cook for my family." It had seemed like the extra pressure, that had been put on the last word, had been directed towards Naru.

Naru knew what her mother was getting at and instantly blushed. "Mom!" Making her chuckled at her daughter.

"Hey, all I'm saying is that I wouldn't mind having grand children." Saori said, dishing out the food. "Perhaps even another little girl wouldn't hurt." She said, referring to the already seated two kids of her own.

Ushio also joined in with a suggestion. "Or a boy! I could teach him to play basket!" Naru's parents speaking so openly about it, was making her quite flustered. She didn't dislike the idea, but it was kind of embarrassing bringing it up like this.

She looked to Keitaro for support, who just smiled at her and joined hands with her under the table. Naru was almost ready to faint, when Keitaro kissed her on the cheek.

"I know, why don't you borrow our bed tonight?" Ushio suggested, getting an agreeing nod from his wife. Even this got Keitaro quite flustered as well. Hitting it off with Naru at her Parent's place.. It just seemed weird, doing it under the same roof of your fiancé's parents. Besides, they hadn't even yet.. Shaking his head and snapping out it, he just got started on the food.

Naru replied for the two, nicely declining their offer. "Keitaro will just sleep in my room. We'll be fine." She was still quite flustered, but started eating with everyone else as well. How could her parents just suggest that they do something like that? And in the very same house, they live in! She wouldn't want Mei traumatized for the rest of her life.

- During the evening: In Naru's room -

Keitaro and Naru were getting ready for bed in the evening. While Naru was slowly undressing to her bra and panties, Keitaro was standing around in Naru's room. Naru thought it was kind of weird, that he wasn't paying much attention to her. Normally he would have gotten a nose bleed, just at the sight of her panties under her skirt.

Keitaro snapped her out of her thoughts, saying. "I'll take the floor. Do you have a futon or some blankets?"

Naru put her hands on her hips and looked at him angrily. "I can't have my fiancé sleeping on the floor. You can sleep in my bed." She offered, gesturing for him to also get undressed.

Keitaro looked at her slightly confused. "Then where are you going to sleep?" He asked and took off his shirt.

Naru smiled at his silly question and replied. "We slept together last night, didn't we?" She moved forward towards him and put her hand on his cheek, to give him a kiss.

Keitaro freaked out and stumbled a bit backwards. "But Naru, we're at your parent's house!" He told her nervously.

Naru giggled and played with the button of his t-shirt, making him blush. "I would have taken them up on the offer, about borrowing their king sized bed, if it wasn't because Mei is home." She told him flirtingly.

Keitaro fell on his behind, having fallen over the a small pillow on the floor. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" He said, rubbing his sore bum in pain.

Naru seeing as he was in a very compromising situation, quickly moved and grabbed the waist of his pants, pulling them down past his angles in one swift move. "Don't worry, Mei's room at the other end of the hall. She won't be bothered." Naru told him, making him blush even more. He was thinking about the different things they would do, that could be a bother to Mei.. He just ended up, making himself grow even more nervous.

Keitaro just let Naru strip him of his t-shirt as well, leaving him in just his trunks. He loved her and had enjoyed the time, they spend together last night. Besides, her parent's had even suggested that they did 'it' tonight and in their bed none the less. Keitaro guess it must be okay with them, if they shared her bed tonight.

Keitaro took a deep breath, before reaching out his hand to her. She grabbed it and pulled him up his feet. He put his hand on her hips and brought her in close, kissing her gently a couple of times. Naru returned the kisses, leaning in more when he pulled away. It didn't seem like he was gonna start again, so she gentle put both her hands on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Keitaro looked at her confused, as he saw a mischievous grin on her face. Naru increased her grip on his shoulders and pushed him forward, making him land on her bed. He made a slight gasp, as he fell backwards.

Naru rushed over to shut the lights. Turning around to looked at Keitaro, who was lying openly on her bed. She grinned and giggled, quickly walking back to the bed and crawled on top of him. Before she got a chance to do anything but kiss him, he had put his one arm around her and pulled close, while user the other to grab the covers and pull them up over their heads, burying their whole bodies under the soft cloth.

Naru punched him somewhere in the dark, letting out a yelp from the surprise. "Argh! Keitaro-!" But she was quickly silenced, feeling Keitaro's lips pressed against hers.

- Break -

A/N: I hope it was still worth the wait. I'll try to see if I can't keep up with it from now on and perhaps even make up for lost time.. somehow.

I went back and forth in this, writing the different scenes out-of-order.. I found my inspiration jumping around, so I just wanted everything down quickly, in case I'd lose it.

I might just have watched quite a bit of anime, but I wanna keep this clean. Though, that's not to say I haven't thought about 'it' and not because I can't write that kind of stuff.

Please review and tell me what you think! Share your thoughts with me and I shall share mine with you.

Until next time!

My opinion on the Hinata Characters

Keitaro Urashima:

I guess he's one of the reasons, you fall in love with Love Hina! To me, Keitaro's the first person to pop into my mind, when I think of luck. Seeing as he has nearly none of it, you can't help but feel for the guy. Besides being a general klutz, he's a good guy and I feel he deserves the role he was given. No other character would've been able to fit in better, then him. His personality is unique, making loveable weirdo he is.

I can see myself continuing to write and reading Love Hina fanfics, purely out of wanting to see the many funny situations, this guy can get into. Keitaro lifts my spirit with his interesting personality and I'm glad he has lived on in the memory of so many, for so many years. Everyone's thoughts of him I can accept, even whether it's bashing or not. I don't mind which girl, you best imagine him with either. I'm quite fond of all the girls as well and could easily see him with someone else then Naru.

All I'll say is, 'please let his soul stay intact!'
