Disclaimer: I do not own Love Hina and the characters in this story. However, since this a fictional story which is somehow an alternate universe, the characters in this story might not very much resemble the true characters of the original Love Hina series. I tried my best to somehow make them not too different from the original one, so please bear with it!


For You I Will

Prologue: I Love You Goodbye

It was another busy evening in Kanagawa Prefecture. A lady with long straight auburn hair is walking alone in the street, about to go home from school. As she continued to walk, a very familiar built caught her eyes which caused her to make a sudden stop.

'Wait… isn't that guy… K-Keitaro?'

Keitaro Urashima is inside a restaurant, having dinner with his friend Mutsumi Otohime. However, from another person's point of view, the two don't look like they are just casually eating. From the perspectives of people who do not know them personally, they could be mistaken as a couple since their distance with one another, as they eat, is not that far. Actually, he is even holding her close while Mutsumi is resting her head on his chest—it seems that they are having some sweet moments with one another. That was the exact scene that the lady with long straight auburn hair saw, she then entered the restaurant with raging fury in her eyes and approached the two, "Urashima Keitaroooooooooo!" she furiously yelled.

"Eh? N-Narusegawa?" Keitaro stuttered in shock as droplets of sweat formed in his forehead and he immediately let Mutsumi out of his embrace.

Naru Narusegawa positioned herself into her usual ready-to-punch-Keitaro position, "Oh you goddamn pervert!" then she screamed in anger.

"H-Hey, it is n-not w-what—" Keitaro tried to explain but it was just too late. Narusegawa already gave him the punch she always gives him when he's acting like some perverted fool and as usual, it made Keitaro fly towards the sky.

"That damn stupid pervert." Narusegawa muttered and then she walked out of the restaurant.

After the incident, Keitaro dropped Mutsumi off her house and he hurriedly looked for Narusegawa to explain the true story before she saw him embracing Mutsumi and punched him right into the night sky. This was actually the true story…

"K-Keitaro…" A broken voice called him as he is cleaning the Hinata hot spring, the broken voice was Mutsumi's.

"H-Hey Mutsumi, why are you crying?"

"Can you accompany me? Please? I just need someone to be with right now. Come on. Let's… celebrate! Let's drink! Please Keitaro, I need someone tonight." Mutsumi uttered and then she let out a smile—a painful one.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes I am alright, I'm perfectly fine! Come on Keitaro! Let's go! Let's be happy and drink till we get drunk!" Mutsumi exclaimed and then she quickly pulled Keitaro out of the Hinata Inn and they went to the nearest restaurant in Kanagawa.

Keitaro is worried about his good friend Mutsumi, she seems to be keeping something from him, like some kind of a depression or something like that. "Hey, are you sure you are alright, Mutsumi? You seem so… depressed."

"I am alright. Don't mind me. Let's just eat and celebrate! Yay! Let's drink! Cheers Keitaro! My friend!"

He nodded, "Oh… okay then." and mumbled.

They went inside the restaurant and ate, after eating Mutsumi ordered a wine and they drank, though actually, Mutsumi is the only one drinking the wine, Keitaro is just there to guide and watch over her.

The mood suddenly became gloomy. "Why is love so unfair Keitaro?" Mutsumi asked, her eyes looked so reddish, it seemed like the spirit of the alcohol has already entered into her system.

"H-Huh? Why the sudden question? Do you have a problem Mutsumi?" Keitaro worriedly asked.

"Yes… I do have a problem! My boyfriend left me, he told me that he wants some space but I know that he's lying! He just fell out of love and he is saying that he wants space! That is so nonsense Keitaro! I hate him! I hate him so much! Why can't he just tell straight to my face that he doesn't love me anymore? Why does he have to lie and tell me he just wants some space to breathe? Am I a bad girlfriend, huh Keitaro? Tell me!" She exclaimed, and then she sobbed.

Keitaro got shocked with all of the words that came out of her mouth. It was the first time he saw Mutsumi weeping in pain like that, it was the first time he saw the cheerful and sweet Mutsumi blurting out hurtful words like what she just uttered. "Mutsumi… it's alright. You're not a bad girlfriend at all. You're very sweet, caring, thoughtful and loving. He's just an idiot because he did not realize that. Don't worry, there is someone meant and destined for you out there. Just wait… wait for that certain someone and don't rush yourself too much." Keitaro said and then he let Mutsumi cry on his chest as he wrapped her inside his arms.

"If that's true, then where is he? What's taking him so long? When will he come into my life? I need him… so much. When will he come? When Keitaro?" Mutsumi said between her tears and painful sobs.

"Sshhh… Mutsumi, stop crying… Sshhh…" Keitaro tried his best to comfort her. Mutsumi is just like a sister to him, she is a very dear friend to Keitaro.

She continued crying and murmured, "I can't wait anymore Keitaro… I'm just so-" she suddenly lost consciousness.

"Mutsumi! What happened? Are you okay? Mutsumi, please wake up!" Keitaro tried to wake her up but she wouldn't. So he decided to just let Mutsumi sleep on his chest for a while because he knows that she's just drunk.

Then, that's the time Narusegawa came into the picture, and it all happened. She gave him the famous Naru punch, he flew towards the sky and then she ran away.

After the said incident, Narusegawa went to the park and there, she let the tears fall from her eyes. She couldn't just go back to the inn because the girls would notice her condition, and she didn't want to explain to them what happened.

"Maybe you just don't love me anymore Keitaro…" She mumbled. "I know... I'm not like the other typical girls. I'm not sweet, I'm not caring, I'm not very feminine and I guess, I'm just not like Mutsumi… I always hurt you. I act as if I'm not your girlfriend. I'm so cruel and violent. I'm so numb! Maybe those are the reasons you are looking for another girl. Maybe those are the reasons you are already falling in love with Mutsumi..."

Lately, she has been noticing that Keitaro and Mutsumi seem to be so sweet with each other. It looks like there is something going on between them. And that night, she saw him embracing Mutsumi. They were so close, so close it hurt her. She saw with her own eyes how Keitaro looked at Mutsumi, how he looked at her with such deep affection. She crying hard, it's been a while since she cried this hard and what's even funny is that she's crying because of Keitaro, that guy which she always thought was there to just annoy her, that guy which she always thought would always be there for her even when she's acting like a complete fool hurting and punching him. However, it seems like these things cannot last forever. And there she is, crying, alone, thinking whether she should continue being with him or not. She thought hard about it for a while, and finally, she came up with her final decision, "I have decided Keitaro. I will now set you free." Narusegawa finally mumbled with a broken voice, then she bowed her head down and cried some more.

After some time, the sound of footsteps coming towards her direction made her look up. It was no other than Keitaro Urashima's footsteps.

"Narusegawa…"

She hurriedly turned her back to wipe her tears and breathe, when she felt that she was ready to face him, "Why are you here?" she asked.

"I came here to explain everything to you…"

"You don't need to explain anything Keitaro, I know exactly what it is and I have made my decision." She firmly said, looking straight into his eyes.

He got confused, "What do you mean? W-What d-decision?"

She breathed heavily, looked at him straight into the eyes and said, "I think we should end this nonsensical relationship."

"W-What are you s-saying? Y-You're kidding right?" Keitaro asked, stuttering because of nervousness.

"No, I'm not even close to joking. I really think this relationship is going nowhere. So, let's just end this." Narusegawa uttered. She's trying to control her feelings from bursting out. She's trying her very best to stop her tears from falling down, for she doesn't want him to see her cry. She must remain cold and numb, she knows she must.

He just couldn't take it anymore, so he finally let all his feelings out. "Damn it Narusegawa! You know what's nonsensical here? That! What you are saying is nonsense! What do you mean this is going nowhere, huh? It's not going anywhere because we're not working on it! You, you are always jumping into conclusions without even trying to seek the whole truth! You let your feelings control you without even trying to know the stories behind! You think you know everything, but you don't Narusegawa, you just don't know every fucking thing! Stop trying to be so great will you?" Keitaro shouted and then he knelt down quietly, staring into the empty ground. "S-stop trying to be so brave and let me take care of you, Narusegawa…"

Deafening silence surrounded them.

He is hurting, so much. He's mad—he's so mad he just couldn't take the silence anymore. So he finally stood up and uttered, "I guess we're really through now. You know what? Maybe you are right. Let's just end this stupid relationship."

"We should." Narusegawa said without looking at him, she's afraid that once she looks into those eyes, she might just give in and break down. She doesn't want Keitaro to see her hurting, she must be strong.

He turned his back. "I guess this is goodbye."

But she couldn't see him go just like that, "Wait… K-Keitaro… C-Can we still be… friends?" Narusegawa asked.

"I don't know but I guess not now. Not now Narusegawa, I can't be friends with you right now. Maybe someday, when the wound you inflicted on me heals, let's just hope it heals. Goodbye Narusegawa and I hope you're happy to see me hurting like this." He uttered and then he finally walked away… away from her.

"Goodbye Keitaro… I love you. Please forgive me." Narusegawa murmured as she watched him walk away from her—their distance getting bigger and bigger until she couldn't even see his shadow. "I'm not doing this because I don't love you Keitaro. I'm doing this because I love you so mich. And I want you to be happy… if your happiness would mean that I have to set you free. I'd sacrificed for you. I love you Keitaro... goodbye." She mumbled as the crystal drops of tears fell from her eyes. She finally let all the tears she tried to hide in front of him fall. It is indeed true that all good things must come to an end, and it was now the end—the end of their story.
