Don't own Love Hina, Duh

Ch.1 The Karmatic arrival of Keitaro

Urashima Keitaro was smiling. (Life is good).  So what he failed the Tokyo University exam twice, he had to leave midway through the test to tend to family emergencies; nothing bad happened and so he was happy.   It started raining but Keitaro didn't notice, he subconsciously picked up an abandoned umbrella and started whistling a tune.  He reflected how his parents had asked him to leave their home.  They just didn't have the moneyfor him to stay, so he took up his traveling pack and told them he was going to his favorite grandma's inn to stay while he take the test a third time.  Seeing how he didn't need his umbrella anymore, he gave it to the nearest person of which turned out to be the grateful original owner.

"Thank you kind sir!  This is my son's favorite thing!  I wouldn't know what I would of done had I lost it" 

The woman choked back some sobs, which got Keitaro's attention. He turned and smiled serenely at her.  She blushed and calmed down.  She thanked him with a kiss on the cheek and went her way.  Keitaro once again got lost in his cheerful thoughts.  A gun pressed into his back soon interrupted those thoughts.

 "Give me your wallet our I'll shoot!"

Keitaro shrugged and handed the man his wallet.  The man smirked and ran down the street and was immediately hit by a police car.  The wallet flew through the air and landed squarely in Keitaro's hand. (More good fortune) he thought as he walked into oncoming traffic, avoiding every car that almost hit him.  He finally got to his destination:  Hinata-inn.  (Wow it is so huge!)  He thought, walking through the oak doors.  He deposited his bags in his grandma's room.  He then just plopped onto the floor and looked into the ceiling.  That was where he noticed a plank covering a hole in the ceiling.  (Hmm I have to look into that later.)  He thought  (But first a bath!)  He got up and got a towel out his huge bag.  He walked out the door and looked at the hallway  (I wonder where the bath is?)  He opened the first door he saw and walked into a hot spring.  He jumped in and sighed at the comfort he was feeling.  He dozed off to sleep.  He had dreams of rainbows and golden fields, but a sound woke him up.  He opened his eyes to see several scantly clad females get into the water. (This must be a hot spring for both genders)  he thought.  Being the nice guy he is, he swam over and yelled a greeting.


"Hello!"

The result he got was them jumping up in fright, dropping their towels.  (Skittish bunch aren't they?)  He laughed and scratched his head

"Sorry. Must of scared you"

He didn't notice one of them bring out a Katana and other crack her knuckles because he was still chuckling.

Point of View:  Mitsune

I was surprised to see a guy bathing in our hot springs.  I mean he just called out and greeted us.  I wasn't that offended because he was sort of cute, the way he smiled just reached down and touched me somewhere in my soul.  Alas I knew he was in trouble because of my companions, Naru and Motoko.  As expected of them, they were already ready to castrate the poor boy.  He had his eyes closed, chuckling at some thought.  You know he never struck me as perverted.  I gave me goodbyes to the poor boy as both women charged at him.  Motoko, being the kendo expert, reached him first.  She slashed at him with her chi attack…

"Hey look a quarter!" He exclaimed and pointed.

He ducked his head and reached down to pick up the cash, missing the attack completely.  My jaw as well as Motoko's jaw dropped as this happened.  Naru was too much in a blind rage at being peeped on to notice this.  She threw an uppercut that would of send the boy into the next country only…

"Opps my towel slipped!"


Naru missed as he stepped back with such speed that was unheard of, just to readjust his towel.  She stumbled and fell into the water.  Motoko slashed at him with her blade to find that a small branch fell from a tree above us and reflected the blow towards Naru, destroying her towel.  I winced because there was something worse then a scantly clad pissed off Naru and that was a naked pissed off Naru.  She charged at the boy again with murder in her eyes just to find him gone. 

"Wow what interesting people!!"  Came a voice next to me.

I turned my head in surprise to find him drinking a cup of tea, watching the whole thing.  (How did he do that?)

"Oh forgive me.  May I offer you some tea?"

Dumbfounded I nodded.  He bowed to reach for a cup, avoiding another slash from Motoko's sword and he turned towards me, causing Naru to miss her punch by an inch and crash into Motoko.  The boy looked at the two unconscious women


"Oh my how did that happen?"


I couldn't help it:  I started laughing, long and hard.  I actually felt my own age again.  The boy just watched me in amusement, until I could calm down.  The first thing out my mouth was

"I don't know who you are, but you must be either very skilled, or very lucky!"

Before he could answer, he was interrupted by…

"Nephew?  What are you doing here?"


The boy turned to the entrance to the spring

"Aunty Haruka!"


He ran in her direction and hugged her, despite his state of undress. He twirled her around and two my amusement. Her feet knocked Motoko and Naru back into the water as they charged at him.  Neither one noticed.

"How long has it been, Aunty?"

Haruka surprised me by laughing and playfully bopped the boy on the head

"It hasn't been that long. So call me Haruka.  Aunty makes me sound like a old woman"

"Still it's good to see you.  Let me get dressed and an tell you why I'm here."

So the two went out the door and Keitaro closed it right into Motoko's face, causing her to stumble into Naru and both of them fell into the water, again.  I walked over and looked at the two girls.  They looked liked dead fish floating in a barrel.

"Something tells me that things are about to get very fun"
