First of all I don't own Love Hina, if
I did I would be spamming the world with sequals and omakes :P
I didn't stop writing Black and White
and will probably update this week if I can find the time.
This takes place 4 years after Keitaro
stumbled into the Hinata Sou and 2 years after getting into Todai.Keitaro is 24 years old now, Mutsumi 25, Kitsune 23, Naru 21, Motoko
19, Su 17 and Shinobu also 17.
Sarah is tied up in a corner and never
heard from again. Did I say that out loud:( .
She's visiting friends
somewhere far away and probably won't make it for this story .
Not really manga or anime verse.
If you
consider the manga it would be kind of AU.
In this story Keitaro has confessed to
Naru after getting into Todai but got no reply so nothing changed for
the next 2 years.
Keitaro Urashima finally had enough
after being launched for the 6th time that day.
He silently walked back in the house
and went straight up to his room, ignoring a startled Shinobu and
Kitsune.
He made it without being harassed by
one of the girls and once inside his room he broke out in tears and
huddled in a corner unable to keep up the mask he had been wearing
for over 4 years now.
"4 years I gave it my all and even
made it into Todai, and nothing has ever changed." he thought
dejected.
"I confessed to Naru only to be
ignored and when I tried again they launched me into outer space."
Suddenly he jumped up and said out
loud:
"I've had it with all the abuse, I'm
leaving tonight."
Within seconds the hole in his ceiling
opened up and Naru's head popped out.
"Keep it quiet Baka, I'm trying to
study." and she slammed the board down again without waiting for a
reply.
Keitaro burst out in tears again.
"I wonder what I ever saw in her"
And still sobbing he started to pack his meager belongings in his
suitcase.
Meanwhile Su had followed the whole
incident from her own room.
She was trying out her new Mecha Tama
Surveillance Camera, Version 3.1 Mark 4 ® and decided to test it
on Keitaro.
After searching for over an hour around
the inn she finally send it to his room where she found him crying
cuddled up in a corner.
Nothing could have prepared her for
seeing him, the always friendly and happy ex-ronin looking so down
and even crying.
She had trouble keeping from crying
herself seeing her "Onii-San" unhappy.
Then she heard him say "I've had it
with all the abuse, I'm leaving tonight"
and the following
incident with Naru and this time she couldn't keep her eyes dry.
"Onii-San is leaving?" she said to
herself in between sobs.
New emotions came welling up from deep
inside her.
She felt guilty for treating him so
badly over the years and felt he was leaving because of her
A stronger emotion also came, she
wanted to protect him just like he did when she changed under the red
moon all those years ago.
Not knowing what to do with these new
emotions she silently stared at the screen till Shinobu called for
dinner.
Keitaro was thinking about what he
should do after he left."Maybe I should call Seta and see if
he has a job for me." he mumbled.
Just then he was shaken out of his
thoughts by Shinobu calling:
"Sempai, dinner is ready."
and he felt a pang of guilt for leaving
her but he reasoned within his mind:
"She doesn't need me, she's probably
better of without me being here."
and he called out "I'm sorry
Shinobu-Chan I'm not feeling very hungry at the moment."
"Okay Sempai I'll leave something to
warm up for you."
and Keitaro continued to sit in the
corner thinking about his past life and the new future ahead of him.
All the girls except Su where sitting
down already and looking uncomfortable at each other.
"Su not being the first down?. That's
new" Kitsune started.
"I hope she's alright" Shinobu
added a bit worried about Su and of course Keitaro.
Naru started to say something to
comfort the shy little girl but stiffened in her seat when she saw Su
coming down with red eyes and looking very down.
Immediately she and Motoko jumped up.
"What did that hentai do to you?"
Motoko screamed in anger.
"Nothing" Su managed to get out
after swallowing a few times.
She added in her happy childish tone:
"My experiment didn't work so good
and I got some in my eyes." and she raced of towards the table with
a happy smile.
They first wanted to know more about
what happened but seeing Su happy again and racing towards the table
they shrugged it off.
Dinner went as usual except a little
quieter because of a certain male missing.
Shinobu kept stealing glances at an
eating Su and saw that she hardly ate before jumping up and racing
off again.
Shinobu
gasped; where those tears she saw in Su's eyes?
Looking around she saw that she was the
only one who noticed it and decide to go talk to her later.
After dinner was finished Motoko got up
and suddenly stiffened a bit.
"Is that Urashima I'm feeling?"
she closed her eyes and then followed his Ki as he snuck out and made
his way to the teashop.
"Thank you for the meal Shinobu-chan"
she hastily left the room and went outside to follow him.
"If the pervert is doing something
dishonorable I'll make him pay"
Keitaro made his way to the teashop
without noticing he was being followed and quickly went to his aunt."Can we talk aunt Haruka?"
She wanted to hit him but then she saw
how he looked and withdrew her hand at the last moment
"Sure, Mutsumi could you take over
the shop for a minute while I talk to Keitaro"
Mutsumi popped out of nowhere.
"Sure Haruka-san" and then
looked at Keitaro
"Are you okay Kei-kun, you look a
little down."
Keitaro nodded because he couldn't
trust his voice anymore, another nice girl who he is going to leave
behind.
Haruka seeing the fact that he hd
trouble at the moment took his arm and pulled him into the kitchen
seoonds before Motoko entered .
Mutsumi seeing her looking around
walked up to her.
"Are you looking for Kei-kun?"
"No why?" Motoko quickly replied in
a defensive manner
"Because he came here, looking down.
He's talking to Haruka right now."
"You don't know what's wrong with
him?" Mutsumi added after a short silence.
"Why would I have any interest with
that pervert."
"You didn't come here looking for
him?" Mutsuni asked a little surprised
"I wanted to talk to Haruka-san about
sparring sometimes." and then she turned around and left Mutsumi
thinking about what Motoko just said.
Haruka was shocked, she knew Keitaro
wasn't as happy as he claimed to be but seeing him bursting out in
tears was the last thing she expected.Quickly holding him in her arms she
tried to comfort him for several minutes and after a while he finally
calmed down.
They now just sat staring at each other
and had been doing that for 5 minutes.
Keitaro cleared his throat and finally
started speaking up:
"I'm leaving tonight."
This came as the second shock he had
given her today.
Barely speaking out her words she said
"Why?"
"I've had it with all the abuse and
exploiting the manager around there. If it wasn't for Shinobu,
Mutsumi and you I would have left a long time ago."
"And Naru don't you love her
anymore?" she carefully asked.
"No" he almost spat out "How
could I love someone who doesn't love me back and keeps hitting me
all the time."
Haruka started to speak but was quickly
interrupted by Keitaro who was becoming angrier and angrier.
"It's her and Motoko I'm most
disappointed with, after all we've been through they still keep
beating me up and calling me pervert."
"And the other girls?"
"Kitsune keeps abusing me and
extorting me, like she would ever change."
and then his voice
changed and became softer again."
Su, I've forgiven her. She doesn't
know any better, she just acts that way because she is lonely but I
can't take it anymore from none of them."
He fell silent
"What about Shinobu and Mutsumi?"
"I'll leave a letter for Shinobu
saying that it's not her fault and she is better off without me." a
slight pause "and for Mutsumi, It's best if I leave her a letter
too."
Haruka thought to herself "He's still
dense about not needing him but I can't stop him and the girls,
they've had enough chances."
"Are you sure about this?"
"It's hard"
and tears welled up in his eyes again
"but I have to do this."
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'm calling Seta to see if he has a
job for me somewhere far away and I'll work something out with
Todai."
Relieved that he had some sort of plan
before leaving she said:
"You can call him here."
She hugged him again and started to
leave but turned around on the doorstep and said with a low growl
"If I find you gone tomorrow I'm
going to give the girls a little talking too they wont forget"
Keitaro shrugged and went for the phone
He wasn't surprised to see Seta's
number on the fast dial button and so he called.
"Moshi Moshi Seta here."
"It's me Keitaro."
"Heya part timer how are you doing?"
"Not so good, do you have a job
opening for me?"
Missing Keitaro serious voice he
excitedly started to talk.
"Well we're going to work on
Parakelse in a week time again."
Keitaro quickly interrupted him.
"Can I come with you? I need to get
away from here."
"Sure."
Finally getting that something was
wrong with Keitaro he added :
"Need a place to stay?"
"I'll manage by myself. I'll come by
your office in a couple of days."
"See you then part timer take care of
yourself you hear."
It was the first time Keitaro ever
heard Seta talk seriously and he was bit relieved that he wasn't
joking about it."
"Will do."
and they both hung up.
He left the teashop in too much thought
to even acknowledge Mutsumi who was waving him to come over.
A little confused she turned to Haruka.
"Is something wrong with Kei-kun,
Haruka-san?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, now back to
work." but the rest of the night they both had their minds
elsewhere.
He encountered Motoko in the hallway"Urashima what where you doing out?"
She demanded
"Family business."
he mumbled before walking past her and
straight to his room, leaving a grumbling Motoko behind him.
When he got there he wrote letters to
Shinobu and Mutsumi before going to bed early to try and leave so
early everybody would still be a sleep.
In her own room Su couldn't think about
anything else then Keitaro leaving and how she could stop him without
hurting him even further.
She even ignored Shinobu when she came
asking what was wrong and when Tama came looking by she didn't even try to catch her (or him don't really know).
It was almost midnight before she
finally gave up and just wanted to be with him for the last time, so
she went to his room and cuddled up besides him.
And instead of her normal death grip
she gently but strongly put her arms around him and fell a sleep with
an angelic smile on her face.
Keitaro awoke at 3 o'clock and wanted
to get up but something was holding him back.
Flicking on his reading light he saw Su
holding on to him and surprisingly not with her normal death grip but
now gently and caring.
He tried to get loose from her but
stopped as he heard her mumble:
"Don't leave Onii-san."
Thinking she had another nightmare he
tried again but know he heard something else:
"Don't leave Kei-kun."
He gave up his attempts to get away
from her and instead focused at her angelic face
"She's really cute when she's asleep"
he thought while watching her.and soon he fell back into sleep again,
his last conscious thoughts where
"I'm in a lot of trouble tomorrow."
A/N I'm sorry about the lack of the
other girls but I'm trying to focus on Keitaro and Su here.
I would
also like to apologize for any OOC-ness there might be in this story
and for Kanako-fans she'll probably make an entrance somewhere.
If you like Kei/Su I would recommend Child of the Crimson Moon and For Love and Honor by M. Blade they simply rock :)
That's all folks please r and r and
don't flame because you don't like the pairing.
Flames will be used to light cigarettes so don't kill me please :P
