Writer's_notes: Hello my readers, you are about to step into an alternate ‘Love
Hina’ universe. 
I first came up with the idea for this fic after reading other AU fan fiction
stories based on Akamatsu-Sensei’s tale. It inspired me to write a general
outline before turning it into a rough draft on where I wanted to take the
'Love Hina' universe. This story does not follow the canon very much expect for
the basic concepts.
In addition, there are no Anglicized contractions in this story.
Be aware, this very adult story: It is a harem fic done in arc fashion, will
contain both hetero- and lesbian sex acts described in great detail, one or
more orgies, incest, swearing, and possibly extreme violence.
Less adult aspects of my tale will be the use of magic and the supernatural.
The characters are mostly OOC with both major and minor changes in everyone. I
will be introducing many new OC’s as well, such as new lovers for Keitaro and
the others. Also added in profusely will be many new friends, bit players and
even many enemies during the course of this tale.
Unlike the manga or anime, the story is set in a more recent time, which is,
early- to mid- 2010's. Such items as smart phones, the internet, laptops,
tablets and other digital devices will be in common use by the characters.
Just as a side note, I am using Japanese words and phrases quite liberally
throughout the story. Translations provided when necessary. (See bottom of
chapter for examples) In addition, surnames will be first.
I will be playing fast and loose with ancient Japanese culture, along with
events from the middle ages up to the Meiji Restoration. This will be for
continuity sake. (Most events will not affect the main time-line)
In my research, it seems that under Japanese law first cousins can marry under
certain circumstances to provide heirs in certain upper-class families,
although their society now frowns upon this practice.
Please enjoy this very different story about the adventures of Keitaro and the
Hinata Honeys.
Here we go…
-Some background history-
For over four thousand years, long before the reign of Jimmu-Tenno the first
Emperor, the Urashima have secretly ruled the central part of Japan through
political manipulation and secrecy.
Throughout the centuries, the Urashima clan has had a hand in secretly
manipulating the events in the territory under their control. Even after the
Tokugawa Shogunate had begun back in the early seventeenth century, they still
managed to maintain control over Kanagawa Prefecture as well as the nearby city
of Edo and the port of Yokohama. Today, they still wield their power in the
financial and political circles of modern Japan, along with parts of central
and southern Asia.
Somewhere throughout all of this history during the past three thousand five-
hundred years, a commissioned curse was place on the Urashima. This has plagued
them a various times throughout the centuries. Only after finding and beheading
the fake shrine maiden during her incantation prevented it from spreading to
the Aoyama, Otohime and a few other of their allies.
The damage, although bad enough, was not as severe as it could have been if she
had finished casting the rest of her spell.
Not long after this, they learned that the Fire Horses and their acolytes gave
the witch the contract, which then later also led to the extermination of that
witch's order. The Dragons assisted the Urashima by immolating them before they
could put up any defense.
Throughout their history, the Urashima at one time or another, have been
pacifists and ruthlessly so since after the age of the gods in ancient times.
Their clan has produced many monks, priests and priestesses, notaries, farmers,
fishers, husbandman and business owners in the past four millennia. To protect
themselves from the thieving Samurai and roving bands of bandits, they
developed many forms of fighting arts so they could protect themselves and
conquer their opponents. This is the reason why they and their allies could
defend their lands and stay semi-autonomous
They believe in peace through strength and guard themselves very zealously to
keep it that way.
This is also true of the early Aoyama clan. A rival clan sought permission from
a local warlord to take their lands from them. Though smaller in number, the
Aoyama butchered the rival clan to the last man taking their women and children
into their ranks for fresh blood. The Aoyama needed to do because they had
mistakenly inbred themselves to maintain strong bloodlines. Partially, the
elders did so because it was due to their clan's marriage strictures. In the
fifteenth century, the senior elders acted to change their laws and this alone
made them into a power to a deal with later in the next century.
The Otohime clan were originally from Osaka, they extended their influence down
to Okinawa and the Kerama Islands. Being a seafaring family, their wealth came
from the ocean, and places where the Shoguns and Imperial governments had no
idea existed.
This is because they are great sailors, and did not support the Toyotomi
invasion of Joseon on the Korean Peninsula. They thought it was foolish and a
waste of valuable resources. The Otohime did not weep when Admiral Yi
slaughtered the Japanese fleet at Noryang in 1598.
They are the Urashima and Aoyama oldest and closest ally. With their mysterious
and clandestine abilities, they had helped the other clans remain free, even
during the dominant Tokugawa Era Shogunate and up until the present day. Such
was their strength…
In all of the main Japanese islands, they lived a shadowed existence that
escaped even the notice of the Emperor.
However, the Aoyama Alliance as they called themselves in later years, are
still extremely loyal to his Imperial Majesty.
Members of the Aoyama Alliance still hate many of the people who had ruled
Japan in his name to this day. Most of them though have paid the ultimate price
for being their enemies and have done so with their lives, or at the very
least, with their fortunes.
Many years ago, even the Shoguns at that time came to fear them, and for very
good reason.
The Aoyama Alliance has stretched back, in one way or another, for almost four
thousand years. They are even more formidable now due to their political and
familial authority, as well as their financial stability and power.
An Urashima by the name of Taro personally killed five thousand Samurai with
his bare hands after the Battle of Sekigahara to keep the freedom that his clan
so craved. His Chi was so powerful that he killed a hundred men using only his
Ki focused through a tree branch as a weapon.
Taro was just one of a long line of Urashima males through the ages whom the
gods, Furred Dragons and Giant Flying Turtles blessed with many meta-human
abilities. The Motk Master is the name that they called him in an ancient
Japanese language long since dead. One usually appears in the clan about every
three to five hundred years.
Those who are born into the Urashima display a few of these abilities now and
again but they are not the actual Master. These abilities appear to be sharper
and more focused in the true line.
Up until the Meiji Restoration at the end of the isolationist Shogunate Eras,
the Urashima held the peace on their own lands.
Now, the newest one comes.
-Modern_day_Japan,_about_24_years_from_the_present_day-
Mid-October…
Urashima Keiichiro drives his wife to the OB/GYN's office. The office is on the
other side of the prefecture and makes for a very pleasant ride. From their
experiences in the past and with how his Yoko-Onee-san's own pregnancy went a
few years before, this OB/GYN is gentle with her patients and helped greatly
with Haruka's difficult delivery.
This does not make Narumi any less nervous. She is hoping for a healthy baby
this time after a few miscarriages. Together with her husband, they are in the
waiting room until the nurse calls her name.
"Urashima-san," says the nurse.
"Hai," answers Narumi nervously.
"Come with me please. Koga-Ishi will see you now," the nurse says with a smile
on her face. She opens the door that will lead to the exam room.
Narumi stands and looks at her husband who just smiles warmly at her as the
nurse leads to the exam room. The nurse hands her a hospital gown and asks her
to strip before putting on the garment. Narumi then sits up on the table in the
corner and waits. She sees that the end of the table has the ubiquitous
stirrups for intimate exams of pregnant women and people with problems in their
private areas. She gulps when she thinks a stranger will be examining her body
shortly.
"Konnichiwa, Urashima-san," Koga-Ishi says coming into the exam room, "I see
that you are a bit nervous today, I promise I will be very gentle like before.
If you need to we can call your husband in to hold your hand while I examine
you."
"I will be fine, Koga-Ishi. I am in your hands," says Narumi taking a deep
breath from her diaphragm and letting it out slowly through her nose.
First comes the pelvic exam, some blood work and then after calling Keiichiro,
the ultrasound. Her husband comes in and sits next to her by the exam table.
They hold hands as the couple sees their unborn child together. The doctor puts
some clear gel on her now bulging stomach and starts in just below her navel.
Next, he places the wand on there so they can all see what they hope is a
healthy baby.
"Urashima-san, if you watch the screen we will be able to see your baby," the
doctor says with a smile. After a few seconds, the wand stops and she says,
"look at what we have here!"
"What is it? Is everything okay?" asks a very nervous Narumi. She has a
flashback of previous visits.
"If you look here, this time I think you will have a very healthy child and it
will be a boy. See," says the doctor. The couple looks at each other and
smiles. They see the developing sex organs and that the child is moving around
quite vigorously.
"He kicked," she says smiling.
"My son," Keiichiro says looking in awe at the small TV monitor. Being an
Urashima he smiles inside because he can feel minor waves of Chi coming from
his wife's womb.
We will see another witness to this very phenomenon a later on.
-Later_that_day_at_The_Hinata-
Overlooking the whole of the Kanagawa Prefecture is Urashima Castle in its
modern disguise as the ancient home of the head of the most powerful family in
all of Japan. This structure has stood the test of time just like the family
that has occupied it since they built it in the early 17th century.
However, Urashima Hinata lives here with her coterie of staff and attendants
who see to her every need. However, no one resides here in the colder months.
With the old western-style annex abandoned in the rear of the property, only
certain parts of the Hinata see anyone during the year now.
Keiichiro and Narumi are living here temporarily until their own house is
finished. He has just bought a small building to put in a pâtisserie and candy-
making store. Not that he needs to, but Keiichiro wants to create treats that
the everyday Japanese person can enjoy. His Okā-san has even thrown her support
behind her son’s project. Of Hina’s two children, neither likes sitting around
and just enjoying the clan’s vast wealth.
“My husband and I brought them up right,” Hina says to just about anyone who
will listen.
Now…
Earlier, Keiichiro had called his Onee-san and her family to come on over to
the Inn to celebrate the good news about Narumi's healthy pregnancy.
The after dinner conversation starts in very general direction with such
innocuous things as gossip and recipes that the women share. All three are
women are happy that Mariko is not here because her caustic would have them all
in stitches. Haruka does not need to hear such language at her age.
The two men sit in the old banqueting hall discussing politics and baseball
while sipping saucers of Sake. They disappeared from the others but not before
getting Hina’s butler to join them. The English-trained butler politely
declined their offer saying he had other duties to perform.
Narumi feels the baby kick.
"He is a strong little bugger," says Hina touching Narumi's belly.
She feels her future grandson kick and smiles at her daughter-in-law.
As with Narumi, Hina has spent some time praying in the ancient shrine out
behind the property for another healthy grandchild. Selfishly, she wants a
healthy grandson to go along with an equally healthy granddaughter.
The recent death of Hina’s beloved husband saddened her as well as the rest of
the family.
Later, in the common room…
"Kaa-san, the OB/GYN said that the baby should be very healthy this time and
come to full term. Can you not feel the Chi that just radiates from her belly?"
asks Keiichiro looking over at Hina.
Although partially psi-blind, he can still feel things that even well trained
adepts cannot sometimes. He does have a couple of his ancestors' minor gifts,
and even with them, Keiichiro is too busy right now to focus on the family arts
other than what he has already learned. He is a successful executive in the
family enterprises and with his new candy/bakery store opening soon, has even
less time for them.
"I have felt the powerful aura that emanates from her belly, Kei-kun,” says
Hina knowingly, “I have known about this for some time". She knows about her
son's gifts and limitations.
"I feel it too, Kaa-san,” chimes Yoko smiling, “Though I cannot read Chi like
you can, it is there nonetheless".
Her seven-year-old daughter Haruka sits on her lap. The young girl is very
quiet right now and listens intently to what the grown-ups are saying about the
baby.
The young girl feels the aura coming from her Oba-san's tummy and it strangely
attracts Haruka.
After a few minutes, Haruka gets off Yoko’s lap and sits on the big couch next
to her Oba-san.
"Oba-chan, do you have a name for the baby yet?" asks Haruka looking up at
Narumi. The young girl places a hand on her belly and feels the emanations
arising off it.
"Yes I do, Haruka-chan,” answers a smiling Narumi, “When he is born, I will
name him Keitaro".
The innocent girl smiles sweetly at her belly and says, "Konnichiwa, Kei-kun."
The baby kicks, as he seems to recognize her voice.
Haruka does not know it yet but fate will intertwine her life inextricably with
his. This will be something that neither of them can, or will, want to escape. 
"Have you thought about where we will have him yet, Narumi-chan?" asks
Keiichiro of his wife.
"I really have not thought that far ahead yet. At first, I did not believe this
pregnancy would go as far as it has, because of the other miscarriages. But
now…," answers Narumi trailing off. She is finally coming to terms with the
reality of this situation.
A servant comes in pushing a British-style tea service and prepares everything.
"How about delivering him here,” suggests Hina handing her daughter-in-law some
tea, “it would be safer than at the hospital. We could get a midwife from the
Otohime and you would be surrounded by those who care about you”.
"That would be a good idea," says Narumi nodding.
Keiichiro nods in agreement with his wife.
-Another_discussion_about_matters_that_are_more_serious-
Early November…
"I called Aoyama-sama in Kyoto earlier today,” says Hina looking at her
daughter-in-law, “Since he is the head of the Council, I thought he should know
about the strong Chi that radiates from your womb. He said that he would get a
hold of the Otohime Priestesses in Okinawa because they are very knowledgeable
about what could be happening here. I believe, but am not sure, if this child
could become like an ancestor of the Urashima named Taro. He lived around the
time of the Tokugawa Shogunate. When I felt the first emanations from you, I
went to consult some of the ancient scrolls that we have locked away in our
clan’s vaults. I had to know for sure before speculating any further on this
matter".
"So what are you telling me, Kaa-san?" asks Narumi not truly understanding the
implications. She has little clue about her husband's rich and exceptional
history except for minor details.
"I am not totally sure yet, Narumi-san,” says Hina thoughtfully, “When your son
is born, he may be blessed with gifts and abilities far above us mere mortals.
A few of our ancestors were like this as well. We do not know why this has
happened to our family in the past, but for some reason it seems that the gods
chose to bless our clan. From what I can glean from our history, none of our
ancestors has ever abused any of the gifts endowed upon them, so maybe that is
why it maybe continuing with him".
Narumi knew that when she married into such an important and very powerful
family as the Urashima that there would be many secrets. However, she does not
have a clue as to the extent of them, or their possible consequential reach.
One is especially embarrassing…
She has learned a few things after falling in love with, and then marrying
Keiichiro. Although it still is not very much to go on, she does not pay it
much heed.
Soon though, it will be more than she wishes to know. For now, with this bit of
knowledge, her understanding of the situation is becoming clearer.
Suddenly, Hina’s words become clear to her…
"Do you mean that my son could be like this powerful ancestor of yours?" asks
Narumi, who then adds, "it is my hope to have a normal boy, not this".
Keiichiro hugs his wife as Narumi snuggles into him.
Hina wonders if she should have kept quiet about her Urashima ancestors. 
Too late for that now, the genie is out of the bottle…
"If everything is done in the proper order, my daughter,” responds Hina taking
Narumi's hand, “you will have the normal son that you want". She gently rubs it
to soothe her.
"What can we do until then, Kaa-san?" asks Narumi feeling slightly crestfallen.
"Let us all go to Kyoto and consult with the full Council on this matter," says
Hina in a thoughtful manner.
"Hai, Shūtome-san," says Narumi. In her husband's arms, she feels a little
better about this situation.
The room gets very quiet as Hina and Yoko go to make dinner.
-A_few_days_later-
It is quite a trip for her even though they take the families' jet down to
Kyoto and the Aoyama compound.
Hina is convinced that a meeting of the whole Council is very necessary due to
the implications of her grandson's impending birth. Her family means everything
to her and she is going to re-iterate it to the others there to ward off any
panic. She knows that there will be some anxiety among the lesser clans during
this conclave. Some are newer members know little of her ancestor's great deeds
that helped preserve the Urashima's sovereignty over central Japan. She hopes
that her powers of persuasion will see her though the day.
If they do not, Hina brings her Imouto Mariko with her. Trusting her
implicitly, she did this because the woman has an extensive vocabulary that can
just about tear someone literally to pieces.
Throughout all of the Aoyama Council, it is an undeniable and very well known
fact that if ever there was a more perfect companion to complement the strong
steady presence of one Urashima Hinata, it would be the fiery fierceness of her
Imouto Mariko. No one personifies loyalty or to keeping their clan in line like
this Yukata wearing, Yamato Nadeshiko looking woman of slight stature. The
exterior covers a personality, which if ever crossed, would shred the offender
with language so vile that can almost peel the paint off any wall and a scowl
that will instantly curdle milk. Her tongue though is not her only weapon as
she can easily back her up words with an extensive knowledge and use of the
infamous Urashima fighting arts. Those who have seen her in action know Mariko
to be one of the dirtiest fighters that there is within the Urashima. Even
though Mariko has a vocabulary that could make a US Marine Drill Instructor
blush, she is highly educated with several advanced degrees in business and
economics from leading universities in Japan, the United States and Great
Britain.
"No one, and I mean no one, is going to harm or make any decision about my
future grandson without his Kaa-san's say so," says Hina to Mariko and Yoko.
They are with her in the limo ride to the meeting.
"I am glad you had Narumi and Keiichiro go with Ruka and Haruka in the other
limo. She would be pissed if she knew what we are planning to do," responds
Mariko with a scowl. She feels the same way as her Nee-san.
"It cannot be helped, because who would have expected a Motk master in this day
and age," says Yoko looking at Hina and not realizing what she had just said
here.
"Yoko, please do not ever use that word outside of the Council room or our
ancestral home. That term has implications even beyond the dead language that
it comes from. Narumi has no real idea of the real power that her son one day
will wield. She thinks that he may just have a few minor abilities like his
Otō-san. So never use that word again," says Hina scolding her daughter.
Bowing her head, Yoko says, "Gomenasai, Kaa-san".
Hina pats her hand understanding her daughter's concern for her unborn nephew,
because she is very close to her Otōto-san and this situation bothers her.
Mariko sits quietly because she has read quite extensively of Taro's exploits
and just smiles.
-Relaxing_with_a_friend-
"This onsen is so nice, Tsubasa-chan," says Narumi. She has a towel wrapped
around her pregnant body as she steps down into the warm water. She finds that
relaxing in an onsen help to settle her frazzled nerves. This situation is not
what she wants but she is making the best of it.
She is in the onsen with Yoko's best friend Aoyama Tsubasa.
She is the wife of Aoyama Taichi, who is the head of the Aoyama Council. He is
also the owner and Senior Sensei of the Shinmeiryu School of Swordsmanship.
Even though Narumi is much younger than the woman next to her, their friendship
has allowed them to be intimate with each other.
Tsubasa is not on the Council, nor is she a practitioner of the Aoyama Arts,
because she is both Psi-blind and immune to Chi applied pressure.
Whenever these women get together, it turns into a gossip and gabfest. These
times really deteriorate when Yoko and Otohime Natsumi join them because of the
embarrassing things they talk about when the men or kids are not around. It
gets downright disgusting whenever Hina or Mariko Oba-san join in.
Natsumi's Okā-san has commented many times, as have others that Hina and Mariko
both need to have their mouths washed out with soap. Mariko has an acid tongue
that gets raucous laughter from the others when it is especially spicy.
“Hina encourages her too much sometimes it seems,” comments Tsubasa trying not
to laugh. Her face is red and not because she is sitting in hot water…
When the two elder female Urashima siblings are together, all the others
prepare themselves for a filth fest of epic proportions.
"Not as good as the one you have back home, Narumi-chan,” says a smiling
Tsubasa who then asks, “How is the baby by the way?"
"He is doing very well and growing quite big,” answers Narumi, “He is going to
be a strong child by the way he is kicking all the time. I hope that one day he
will be like your Tsuruko-chan is". The girl in question is off playing
somewhere with Haruka.
"She is the joy of my life, as Haruka-chan is for Yoko," says the proud Okā-san
smiling. She takes a lot of pride in Tsuruko's accomplishments.
"Has Taichi-sama gotten over the fact that Hina-san still seems to rule the
Council?" asks Narumi giggling.
"I think your Shūtome-san gets under my Taichi-kun's skin because of her
powerful personality,” answers Tsubasa, “We all know that when Mariko-sama is
with her that they rule the Council because neither woman puts up with any crap
from anyone. But you are right though, he may be the titular head of the
Council but she holds sway over it". She looks over at her friend with mock
exasperation.
"I just hope Yoko and Kei-kun can keep them in check before there is outright
war in there. Sometime those two are too much for anyone to take," says Narumi
seeing her niece and Tsuruko coming into the onsen dressed in towels.
Both women fail miserably to stifle their laughter.
The smiling girls step into the water and sit on either side of Narumi. They
both feel the very positive Chi radiating from her belly, and it is very
peaceful right now.
They then all hear some loud debate coming from the Council chambers on the
other side of a dividing wall. That is before someone has the courtesy to shut
the doors and to shutter the windows.
Both women share a laugh before getting out of the onsen and dressing for the
evenings' festivities. The two girls look at each other a bit perplexed at what
the commotion could be.
Later on in the evening, the banquet hall is quite full of council members,
their families' and important guests. This is the most people that anyone has
seen in the compound here in many years, since before even Hina was born.
This is a short take on the daylong discussions.
-A_contentious_Council_session-
The startling thing about this gathering is the people who are not involved in
it directly can indelibly feel the tension emanating from the main
participants. The tension in the air is quite palpable to those even if they
cannot sense aural pressure coming from not too far away.
This is where we begin…
On one side of the Great Hall is Aoyama Taichi, the host of the gathering,
along with Urashima Hina and Mariko. These three, along with their closest
allies, are attempting to keep civility and decorum. It is an extremely
difficult undertaking due to the issue at that has befallen them.
No one sitting here has ever had to handle anything closer to this situation in
a little over four hundred years.
The possibility that a MotkMaster could exist in this day and age has everyone
present on edge.
On the other side of the room, there are those in the Counsel, who see this as
an opportunity. They would like to take the child from his parents and raise
him to become some type of 'Akira', or maybe used as a symbol of the Council's
power and authority.
Hina, usually the levelheaded of the two elder Urashima sisters, wants to
explode and have Mariko verbally shred the person who brought this subject to
the floor for discussion.
Keiichiro and Yoko prevent their Okā-san from almost declaring war on them.
Right now, it takes both of her children to quell their Oka-san's unleashing
her legendary wrath in this place. It is a difficult task at best…
Keiichiro is a good martial artist and with his Onee-san Yoko to back him up,
he says he will defend his family against any rash action taken by the Council
towards his unborn son. His wife wants a normal child and by all of the gods,
he will go through hell and high water to see that she gets her wish.
In addition, Hina has a little back up in her purse if things get too far out
of hand.
Mariko, sharp-tongued as ever, dares the Council to try to cross the Urashima
in this present situation.
Otohime Natsumi, who has just had a daughter a few months before, reminds
everyone that according to the history of the Motk masters, only the family of
the child can raise him. She is more knowledge of these matters than even of
Hina and Taichi. Natsumi is just 23 years old, too.
Yoko smiles at her.
"I wish to know something, Otohime-san. How someone so young can understand
these matters so well?" asks a newer member of the council.
"Natsumi is the eldest of my daughters and heir to the Otohime legacy," says
Otohime Sumiko. She is the head of the Otohime matriarchy, and someone who
carries a lot of power and authority as well, but in a more subtle vein than
either Hina or Mariko.
"Remember your place, Sasaki-san! The Otohime clan is never to be questioned on
matters of history that are this important," says Aoyama-sama in a commanding
voice.
"I ask forgiveness of this council, Aoyama-sama. I meant no disrespect to any
of the Otohime Priestesses, but knowledge is everything to me when it comes to
dealing with a matter of grave importance such as this," says Sasaki Buntaro.
He bows low to Sumiko and Natsumi from his seated position.
"I understand Sasaki-san, so no offence is taken," replies Sumiko bowing in
return, and then she adds, "In times like these, we need all of the knowledge
and assistance from all sources. It does not matter the age of the one
assisting or not. My daughter's wisdom in these matters belies her youth."
The others in the council chamber agree with this assessment of Natsumi's
knowledge.
The Urashima calm themselves since the Otohime are backing them. This is how
close the two families are to each other.
"The most important thing of all is that we must keep the imminent birth of
this child a secret from those who are not one of us, and this includes the
government. He could be used as a weapon that could destroy an entire country
with very little thought," says a council member from the back allied with
Hina.
"I agree with that assessment, Toyoma-san,” says Hina gravely looking around
the room, “If Tokyo were to find out about my unborn grandson, some in the
government would try to take and use him to resurrect the country's Imperial
might of the 1930's. We Urashima have always been pacifists and are ruthlessly
so. The knowledge of his power must never go outside this chamber on the
penalty of death".
Her anger quells at this suggestion.
Only three times in the Aoyama Council's long history have the members ever had
to invoke this clause, and only for important matters that were analogous to
this.
"I must agree fully with Hina-sama,” responds Aoyama-sama, “As head of this
Council I deem this matter is too important to let the public-at-large know
about it, so the death penalty is now invoked until such a time as the child
comes into his own". Without needing any consensus from the rest of the
Council, he can invoke this and make it an ‘iron-clad’ decree.
"Arigato gozaimasu, Aoyama-sama," says Hina bowing her head to him. She is now
satisfied that her unborn grandson will enjoy the full protection of the
Council.
"Hina-sama, with your permission,” asks Aoyama-sama looking to her, “We should
move this to the Hinata at a more appropriate time to await the arrival of the
child. We can deal with the rest of this situation then. Do you agree?"
Consulting with her family first, Hina stands and declares, "That is acceptable
to the Urashima, because Narumi-san wishes to have her child delivered in a
home birth. The Hinata can hold all of the major representatives from this
enclave along with any priests and shamans that they wish to bring with them.
One more thing though, Aoyama-sama. We may need some of the more ancient Dragon
and Turtle scrolls for spells and sutras just in case."
"What about the Fire Horse scrolls, Hina-sama?" asks Bato Daichi. This member
of the Council is the most knowledgeable among them about their ancient
enemies. He has secretly studied their history with help from Hina and Taichi
since he was young.
"No, Bato-san,’ replies Sumiko, “that would be very harmful because of their
evil nature, and whatever knowledge they possess would go against everything
that we stand for". She too has an understanding of the evil Fire Horses and
their wanton thirst for destruction.
"I agree with Otohime-sama. Those blasphemous scrolls should have been burned
ages ago," says another member from the back of the chamber.
"That has been tried quite a number of times, Namura-san. You of all people
should remember what happened to the elder Kazehara-san," responds Bato without
hesitation, "the spells on them are too powerful and only a fully-
realized Motk master can destroy them. When Urashima Taro was alive, the
scrolls had not yet been re-discovered. However, when the newest master is old
enough, he can deal with them".
"My Sōsofu-san died in an attempt to destroy them. He was immolated to death,"
says Kazehara Hiro remembering the tragic events as relayed to him by his Otō-
san.
Everyone bows for a moment out of respect for the late valued member of the
Council.
"Bato-san, that sounds good to us," says Hina.
There is unanimity on this. The murmurs begin before Aoyama-sama knocks on a
small table for silence.
"We will leave those scrolls behind and meet at the Hinata when Urashima Narumi
is ready to give birth," he says and then promptly adjourns the meeting.
End of the short re-cap.
So now, it is dinnertime and that at least diverts everyone's attention. When
you are shoveling food in, it is difficult to be argumentative without being
rude. Things settle down for a while, at least through the mealtime that is.
Sitting up on the dais Narumi is between little Tsuruko and her husband. The
young girl is dressed traditionally in her families' Hakama and Gi while eating
next to her Okā-san. She keeps looking at Narumi's protruding belly and
flinches slightly. Many of the other highly trained adepts here in this room
are also having an adverse reactions to the emanations as well.
When Hina and Sumiko place sutras on the walls and above the doorways, these
help to quell much of the uneasiness around the banqueting hall. With these
strictures in force, everyone it seems can now eat in peace.
"Kaa-san, can you not feel it at all?" asks Tsuruko looking up at her. She does
not yet understand about her Okā-san's lack of sensitivity to aural pressure.
"Sorry, Tsu-chan. I cannot," she answers shaking her head.
"Can Tsuruko-chan really feel my babies' aura, Tsubasa?" asks Narumi astounded.
Tsuruko has her hand on her belly and smiles. It is clear that she must feel
comfortable around the unborn child. People around the room are taking notice
of the young girl's gifts. Everyone of importance in here knows them very well.
Haruka is slightly jealous of her best friend as she is sitting next to her
Oba-san because her own senses are not as developed, yet.
"Yes she can, Narumi,” replies Tsubasa nodding, “It seems that my Tsu-chan is
more sensitive to Chi emanations than her Otō-san".
She looks at her daughter with pride.
-At_the_Hinata-
Late December…
Although the Urashima are a strict Shinto family by practice, they still accept
some western customs because they are fun. Especially with the New Year’s
holiday coming up.
For instance, Valentine's Day is one such day. Girls from all over Japan make
chocolate as presents for their sweethearts each year. Yoko and Narumi do this
for Ruka and Keiichiro, and then their spouses spoil the two rotten on White
Day a month later.
More apropos to this time of year is the western tradition of Christmas. Not
the religious aspects of day mind you, as they enjoy celebrating the part about
gift giving, being together as a family and eating a large meal together along
with another excuse to imbibe excessively. This is a fact on many Japanese
holidays, of which there are many…
The other thing they like to do is decorate a Christmas tree. Nineteenth
century Imperial Germany influences a lot of thinking in modern day Japan.
In school, Japanese students learn about western traditions and about the
German people back erecting a Yule Tree, which the Germans call a Tannenbaum.
It is supposed to symbolize the warding-off of evil spirits. In keeping with
that tradition, many people around the country now decorate one and since they
are animists' anyway, they use it to ward off bad Karma before the New Year's
Day holiday.
Narumi sits on the couch and watches her husband along Ruka, Yoko and Haruka
get ready to go outside to get a tree for the Hinata. She is just a few weeks
away from giving birth so she has been sedentary since her belly protrudes out
as it does.
Hina stays with her daughter-in-law and makes tea for them.
The pregnant woman feels trapped because she can hardly move and can only get
out of bed or up from the couch with assistance from her husband.
Keiichiro, handy with tools and equipment, has a chainsaw all gassed up, primed
and ready-to-go.
“I feel so useless,” whines Narumi as the quartet head down the hallway to the
back door.
Hina can only smile remembering what it was like with Yoko those years back.
Outside, the weather is not all that cold as the four cross the traditional
bridge. Yoko and Keiichiro look wistfully where the ancient Dojo once stood.
Hina had it removed after the roof collapsed some two years before.
“At least the shrine still stands,” says Keiichiro looking in and seeing some
of the statuary. A particular jade one of a dragon catches his eyes.
His Onee-san nods and smiles.
Little Haruka's eyes light up when her Oji-san asks her to pick a tree out for
their display this year.
There are plenty of pine and spruce trees up on the Hill, so she can pick out a
good one.
After they cut down the one Haruka points out, Keiichiro and Ruka drag it back
to the Hinata and bolt it to a stand. It is a nice full one at a little over
two meters tall.
Later, while decorating the tree…
"I remember when I was pregnant and how demanding I was," says Yoko laughing.
She is putting some garland on the tree with her daughter.
"You were not that bad dear," responds Ruka smiling at his wife.
"That is not what you told me after rushing out for Pocky™ and Korean kimchi
one time,” says Keiichiro laughing remembering what his brother-in-law told him
once, “You said you could not wait for Haruka-chan to be born so you could
sleep again".
He said this while balancing on a short ladder stringing some lights together
and putting them on the upper part of the tree.
They all laugh, as Yoko turns red with embarrassment. She gives her husband the
look and wants to knock her Otōto off the ladder.
"Kimchi, that stuff is nasty,” says Narumi cringing, “I like sour things but I
have not gone that far yet".
If Narumi admitted to some of the things that she has had cravings for, Yoko
would tease her remorselessly until the baby comes.
Sitting quietly and not saying a thing, Hina remembers her own cravings for
pickled octopus and fried duck livers. Right now, only her strength and inner
discipline keeps her from blanching at those memories.
"You are so lucky, Naru-chan,” declares Yoko not wanting to let this go, “It is
hard to believe that you did not have those disgusting cravings for the sourest
and most off tasting foods imaginable. To this day, it makes me sick to think
of some of the shit I ate back then. Ruka-kun, just where in the hell did you
get that Norwegian Lutefisk anyway? I still cannot believe that I ate that crap
and actually enjoyed it".
Yoko says in mock disgust after finishing and sitting with her sister-in-law.
"If I tell you where I got that stuff from you will probably kick the living
daylights out of me,” responds Ruka chortling, “Let us just say that I know
certain people in the import grocery business who can get me anything from
around the world any time I want".
The others all look at him right then because they know that he has a tendency
to eat things imported from other countries.
"Oba-san, I feel Kei-kun kicking," says Haruka smiling. She is sitting next to
Narumi with a hand on her belly.
"Did you feel that, Kaa-san?" asks Yoko also smiling.
"Yes my daughter, I did,” answers Hina smiling back, “Even with all of the
sutras in place around here I can still feel it".
"What is it that you are feeling here, Yoko?" asks Narumi seeing the smiles on
the three adepts in the room.
"The positive flow of Chi coming from your belly when Haruka-chan put her hand
on it, this is not the first time I have felt it either. It also happened in
Kyoto when Tsuruko-chan had her hand on it and also when I touched it too,"
answers Yoko.
"It is like all of your fates are somehow tied together and that he can sense
it from in there," says Hina in response to Yoko's statement.
“Amazing,” quips Keiichiro after cleaning up the common room.
'I no longer have any doubts that this child will be like some of my
ancestors,' thinks Hina. To her, this simple act seals away any remaining
doubt.
Harumi smiles.
-Drawing_one's_luck-
New Year’s Day, Kanagawa Prefecture…
Many important people have gathered themselves together at the Hinata now that
the birth of a certain child is near. It has been many years since the manse
saw this many people stay on these ancient grounds. However, there is enough
room for all as the Urashima had previous westernized many of the rooms with
electrical outlets, lighting fixtures and upstairs water closets.
Just as Aoyama Taichi had ordered, the whole Council has come here for this
very important event. Settling in, everyone waits for the upcoming momentous
event to happen.
Amongst this group of luminaries includes many powerful spell-casters,
purveyors of ancient wisdom and those who are knowledgeable about the history
of the person called ‘The Motk Master’.
Unknown to only a few, many guards with special skills occupy spots in both
Hinata City and forest behind the manse. This, along with many Aoyama Samurai,
stand vigil and watch for any signs that their oldest enemies may try to
intrude.
Conversely…
Patiently biding their time, a certain interested party calmly observes the
proceedings upon Hinata Hill. Not wishing to tip their hand, this party does
not bother to send in any spies to assess the situation.
Much to the chagrin of his associates. Knowledge of what happened during
previous encounters with their hated enemies and the disappearance of so many
operatives over the centuries leads the present head of this cabal to stay
watchful.
“We will wait and keep watch. That is all,” comes the new mantra, “Modern days
call for modern thinking”.
Old memories run very deep.
The aura nonetheless, which emanates from the sight of the gathering, is just
too powerful for him to ignore.
“So, a new master is coming,” whispers a voice that has a smile behind it.
For now, it is their wish just to remain quiet and hidden.
Back inside the Hinata…
Coming down the main staircase into the main room, Keiichiro notices that there
are sutras and spells on just about every wall, door and window of the ancient
place.
‘My unborn son must be really bothering these people,’ he thinks with a smirk.
He is very thankful that the emanations do not bother him.
Keiichiro heads over to the foyer to put on his shoes and jacket. His is going
over to a local shrine with Yoko and her family to draw luck for three people
this year.
Narumi, now totally bedridden, is too uncomfortable to move on her own. She
kissed her husband before he left and is now watching TV. An impromptu birthing
area was set up in the old family ‘Noh’ theater.
Before her husband left her side, she said that it was her hope that he would
draw only the best luck for them and their son.
He smiled at her in return.
Hina and Otohime Natsumi stay with her to see that she is comfortable while
Keiichiro is gone.
With Natsumi is her baby daughter, Mutsumi. The nearly ten-month old girl is
her pride and joy, who now sleeps peacefully on a futon. Her Okā-san tends to
needs of the woman whose child will one day be very special to them both.
A short time later…
"Konnichiwa, Koji Oji-san,” says Keiichiro to a man in Shinto priestly
vestments, “Are there a lot of people here today?"
"Not as many now as there were at midnight or at sunrise, Kei-kun,” replies
Urashima Koji, “people are mostly coming now in dribs-and-drabs".
Having spent some time in America, Keiichiro chuckles at his Oji-san’s use of
an American expression.
Keiichiro’s youngest Oji-san Koji has been a Shinto priest at this shrine for
the past two years after having a new house built nearby. He spent twenty-five
years working as a stock analyst for the family in New York and Chicago before
retiring young and moving back to Japan with his wife. With his Onii-san
Daisuke, he has helped the Urashima become even wealthier.
The younger of his sons assists him on weekends when not studying for his
Doctorate at Tokyo University.
"I came at a great time then," says Keiichiro smiling.
Then Koji asks, "How is Narumi-chan doing? Hina Nee-chan asked me to send her
as many sutras as I can come with. That unborn child of yours is burning
through them almost as fast as I can create them. It seems that he will be like
our ancestor Taro".
"That is what everyone thinks, Oji-san,” responds a snickering Keiichiro, “And,
that is why the Hinata is up to full capacity right now and then some".
Urashima Koji is also a member of the Aoyama Council and a powerful mage in his
own right.
"I heard that Otohime Natsumi-san is going to be her midwife,” Koji says
smiling at his nephew. “If she is, Narumi is in great hands. Not only is she a
good at birthing babies, she is also a first class spell caster. Her Okā-san
told me not to long ago that she has memorized most of the ancient Turtle
texts. That in itself is hard to do because I have only been able to do about
fifty Dragon scrolls and I am almost twice her age too".
Keiichiro throws a handful of ¥500 coins into the offering box before Koji
hands him three small charm pouches that contains their luck for the upcoming
year. For once, he does not bother to open them. With the impending birth of
his son and the knowledge that he will be special, Keiichiro believes that he
has already drawn the best luck for the coming year.
He stops by a dormant Sakura tree and ties the unopened charms to a low-hanging
branch.
Both men see Yoko and Ruka wave to them after taking Haruka to ring the bronze
bell. They wait by the gate.
"I will be up tomorrow morning to help my Onee-san and the others ward off my
new grandnephew's excessive Chi,” says Koji, “I will also be bringing a couple
of scrolls that might help". The man has his own extensive collection of
ancient scrolls and tomes.
"Kaa-san told me that you would be and said that I am very lucky to be
partially Psi-blind in this instance,” says Keiichiro. Another coincidence that
seems to confirm his luck for the upcoming year.
"Well, enough slacking for me, Kei-kun,” says Koji looking at his watch, “I
have a temple to run and worshippers to greet. So then, I will see you
tomorrow". He then walks with his nephew to the Temple gate and greets his
niece’s family.
"Arigato gozaimasu for the charm, Oji-san," says Keiichiro bowing.
"Dō Itashimashite, Kei-kun," responds Koji returning the bow.
The other three bow too.
The two men shake hands warmly.
"Matane," says Keiichiro before turning and walking down the short flight of
steps with the others.
No one sees the luck charm that Keiichiro received for his son glow brilliantly
and then turn to ash. What was in the pouch will forever remain a mystery.
A lone string sits on tree branch moving with the light breeze.
-Back_at_the_Hinata,_late_morning-
Narumi sees a constant flow of people in and about her makeshift room who see
to her comfort.
“All this fuss over just one baby,” comments a Yukata clad Mariko sipping hot
tea by the old stage. She provides comedy relief to keep everyone loose. This
tiny woman also has four huge grown boys of her own.
Hina checks in on her daughter-in-law constantly to make sure that all
continues to go well.
Natsumi is also in there and keeps the expectant mother company.
Sutras and spells cover all of the walls in here and on the surrounding areas
in an attempt to ward off the extremely powerful aura that still emanates from
Narumi's belly. It has only gotten stronger as she gets closer to the delivery
date.
Narumi sees her husband come back from the shrine and ask if he had read the
contents of the luck pouches. Like her husband, she believes that they have
already drawn the best luck because of her babies’ impending birth.
A little later, Narumi and Natsumi are alone.
"Have you been to the shrine yet, Nat-chan?" asks Narumi. She is trying to stay
comfortable, but the baby is really kicking now and is causing her some minor
discomfort. She is very close to labor.
"Yukino-kun went there with my Okā-san earlier this morning while I and my
Mutsumi-chan stayed here with you," answers Natsumi. She is breast-feeding her
daughter even as they speak.
"I just hope that my Kei-kun drew the best luck for the three of us, Na-chan,”
says Narumi about whining, “Right now, I need all the luck I can get”.
Her pregnancy is beginning to affect her mood and she is feeling a little
bitchy today.
"That is why I am here, Narumi-chan," responds Natsumi smiling at her friend.
Somehow, this smile reassures the expectant mother.
Around the room that these two are in are items that any new Haha would expect
to find: a western-style bassinette and crib; a diaper changing table with
wipes, washcloths, a small plastic wash basin; and to top it off, a lot of
fresh clean nappies for a newborn child.
Should Narumi go into labor, Natsumi has her midwife equipment there all clean
and sterilized ready to go at a moment's notice.
Meanwhile, out in the large common room where the Sake and beer freely flows,
Keiichiro is now the butt of many crude and extremely nasty jokes. All of the
centering on becoming a new Otō-san and what that entails.
Mariko, of course, is the crudest of them all and busts his chops trying to get
him to relax as the evening progresses.
Ruka remembers what his beloved Yoko went through even trying to have baby.
Though she is a trained martial artist and knows all kinds of pain suppression
techniques, she cursed him to his face when she went into labor and threatened
not only his manhood, but his very life as well. Then, following her tirades,
she would smile at him as if nothing had happened. That was until the next
contraction…
When Haruka was born soon afterwards, he was the proudest new Papa on earth.
After the birth of her daughter, Yoko discovered that had an excessive amount
of polyps in her uterus and that some of them were pre-cancerous.
Shortly afterwards, she needed to have major surgery and underwent a radical
hysterectomy. Ruka has done every possible to comfort his wife and spoil his
daughter with the best of everything. He is happy at least that they could have
one child. At least for now, until a special miracle later on…
"Wait until you have to change a shitty diaper and wipe their ass. That will
give you pause right there," says a guest who brought some good quality Sake to
celebrate with after the child is born.
"It is not that bad, Kei-kun," says another friend from the Council,
"especially when you get to see them grow up and make their way in this world."
-January_5th-
Everyone settles down for the evening and have gone to bed. Keiichiro is
sleeping in a futon on the floor so he can be close to Narumi.
On the ground, many guards hidden and in plain sight are on watch to keep
unwanted people from poking around the Hinata.
Some on the Council suspect that rival factions or disreputable people like the
Yakuza may take an interest in the proceedings up here.
There is also rumors about the possible resurrection of the long dead Fire
Horse cult in Yokohama and Chibe. The Council fears that it soon may rear its
ugly head once more.
The perimeter around both this part of Kanagawa Prefecture is eerily quiet.
On the other hand…
"Kei-kun, the baby!" screams Narumi.
Keiichiro wakes out of a sound sleep and rushes over to his wife's side. The
blanket between her thighs is soaking wet which is a telltale sign that her…
“Shit, shit, shit, shit,” mutters Keiichiro as he runs for the main house.
Running upstairs, he hollers, "Natsumi, come quickly! Okā-san! Narumi-chan's
water has just broken. The baby...!"
All the lights come on in the manse as everyone wakes from a sound sleep.
After Hina nods to him, Keiichiro rushes back to his wife’s side until the
midwives get there.
"The baby is coming, Kei-kun," says Narumi squeezing her husband's hand. With
an almost panicked look on her face, she knows that she has a long night in
front of her.
Natsumi and some of the other women rush into the makeshift birthing room and
gently push Keiichiro out. He looks over at Narumi as Aoyama Tsubasa is trying
to have him go out to the common room. The latter is here because her Psi-
blindness helps in this situation.
During the next several hours of Narumi's labor, Keiichiro paces back and forth
surrounded by friends and fellow Council members who are all awake now.
They try their best to be supportive of the man who is now nervous as can be.
Moreover, they see him blanch when the first threats of physical violence begin
to come.
Ruka hands him a snort of Sake to help settle his nerves.
Keiichiro keeps looking back to the old theater.
In the birthing area…
"Breathe in short breaths, Narumi-chan," says Natsumi showing her friend what
to do. She is in so much pain that she kind of ignores the advice and comes up
with her own way to deal with it...
"I am going to cut your fucking balls off, you son-of-a-bitch," screams Narumi
in the midst of some very painful labor.
She is going in and out of wanting to emasculate her husband to wanting his
testicles cut off and nailing them to a pike for public display.
When the pain subsides, she looks around the room wondering why everyone is
staring at her.
Yoko looks over towards the common room sympathetically at to where her Otōto-
san is as the others laugh and tell him that they have also heard the same
threats coming from their wives too during labor.
"That useless motherfucker had better not ever stick that shriveled up needle
dick into me again," screams Narumi cursing loudly.
After the contraction passes this time, she asks why everyone is looking
askance at her.
No one there is going to tell her that she has been threatening her husband
with the vilest tortures and invectives imaginable. Narumi is the least
offensive person in the room and under normal circumstances avoids using bad
language.
The other women here with her have not heard filth come out like this since
Urashima Mariko vocally shredded her last target in public, and she has quite a
vocabulary too.
That said, Mariko has a little smirk on her face and highly approves of
Narumi's inventive usage of some very nasty language.
Hina smiles at her.
"Good Narumi-chan, now push! One more and you can hold your son. Again, push,"
says Natsumi.
Hina is holding one hand of Narumi’s hands as Yoko has the other.
Do not worry about Keiichiro though. The laughter of the others there helps his
nerves as the dawn arrives over this part of Japan. He hears one last ear
piercing scream from Narumi, then...
"WWWAAAAAAHHHHH!" comes the lusty cry of a newborn baby. He has a vigorous wail
that tells everyone that he is strong and has a healthy set of lungs.
"My son," says the new Papa listening to the cries of his newborn son.
The others here all congratulate the new Papa and toast him with some special
Sake.
For some in the common room the cries make many of the more Psi-sensitive
adepts cringe. The aural pressure radiating from the newborn baby hits some of
them here very hard, as the raw force of it absolutely startles them.
This is when the Otohime Turtle Priestesses and other specially trained adepts
with the Alliance put up more sutras and cast spells at an ever-increasing
rate. The chanting of mantras somewhat works to counter the newborn child
increasing his use of Chi.
In the birthing room, a mother cries happy tears when she hears her son's voice
for the first time.
Natsumi lays the baby on his Narumi's stomach for a moment of quick bonding
before cleaning him up.
Then following Natsumi's directions, Yoko kneels on the bed behind her sister-
in-law and massages her breasts to help ease out the afterbirth.
‘Definitely like Taro,’ thinks Hina smiling.
While cleaning the newborn Keitaro over off to the side, Natsumi sees the child
open his rich chocolate brown eyes for the first time.
They captivate her instantly.
Somehow, as of that moment, a bond forms between the two of them. Call it
enishi if you will…
Natsumi realizes it herself. This child's life somehow will forever entwine
itself with hers, though she does not know in what manner just yet.
In addition, Mutsumi is sleeping next to where her Okā-san is tending to
Keitaro. In coming years, a special bond will form with her as well.
Hina and Sumiko join the others by chanting in ancient tongues that no one
speaks in modern Japan anymore.
Notaries, which are in other rooms all around the Hinata, join them as the
cacophony builds.
Mantras and prayers to the ancient gods go up as they prepare to bind the
baby's power, or at the very least, put strictures on it.
The Chi radiating off Keitaro is almost visible to the most sensitive of the
adepts within the Hinata.
All of those participating in this ritual are dressed in traditional shrine
vestments and begin. The chanting started softly and now carries out in low
tones with more voices joining in every second.
The Council chose Hina to lay the Spells of Binding on her grandson and so
smiling, she waves the sutras over him. She hopes that when they touch his skin
the words of the spells will be absorbed instantly and make him the normal
child that his Okā-san wants, but...
This does not go the way it was planned at all much to the shock of those
present.
POOF!
“Well, well…,” says Hina looking down at her grandson. She was not totally
shocked and even expected this to happen.
When she laid the paper on Keitaro's skin, it shrivels up before catching fire
and turning to dust.
Hina, trying not to laugh, takes another sutra and says the same spells over it
before placing it again on Keitaro's belly.
POOF!
She gets the same result with even Sumiko, Natsumi and Taichi looking on.
They are all mystified.
It is difficult to be upset with a newborn child cooing while you are trying to
do something to help him. …or, helping yourself at this moment.
Sumiko and a few of the other Council members, along with Natsumi, look into
some of the more ancient of the scrolls that they have with them. They hope to
come up with a solution to this situation which has them all stumped.
"You are not going to believe this," says Natsumi after rolling up one of the
most ancient scrolls in her possession. She has discovered that no one has ever
attempted to bind a newborn Motk master's Chi before.
"Then there is no written precedent or proof that spells from these scrolls
have ever tried on someone like Keitaro before," says Hina shaking her head in
disbelief, but smiling at her grandson nonetheless.
Collectively, everyone present scratches their heads as a solution stumps them.
The Council convenes an impromptu meeting to discuss what they should do next.
A member makes a suggestion to raise the boy in Kyoto to keep him safe.
Hina and Mariko along with Keiichiro and Yoko vigorously object. The Urashima
will defend the boy and his Okā-san from the others in the Council if it comes
to that.
"I also reject that suggestion," said Aoyama-sama, "the child will stay with
his family like we had decided in Kyoto. However, I will want to convene a
special meeting of the full Council in two years to learn about how the boy is
progressing. Is this acceptable, Hina-sama?"
"Yes it is, Aoyama-sama," answers Hina getting a nod from Keitaro's Otō-san.
"This then is the decision of the Council. No one will interfere with the boy
or his family," decrees Aoyama-sama and promptly closes the meeting.
This averts a crisis that could have possibly split the Council.
-The_first_encounter-
Haruka and Tsuruko are still upstairs soundly sleeping in one of the back rooms
of the Hinata.
A cry from downstairs and a jolt of uncontrolled aural energy wake the two
girls. They nearly bolt upright at the suddenness of it all.
"Tsu-chan, do you hear that?" Haruka asks looking over at her best friend and
sitting up.
"Hai, Haru-chan. I can feel it as well," answers Tsuruko looking back and
blanching slightly.  
"Let us go down and see Kei-kun," says Haruka
The two girls get out of there futons and run out the door as they head
downstairs.
Haruka and Tsuruko hear their elders chanting, but it stops when they reach the
bottom of the main stairwell.
Reaching the room, they see Narumi feeding her newborn son as she and Tsuruko
come over.
The girls are wide-eyed at the miracle of life suckling at his Okā-san's
breast.
"Oba-san, can we please say hello to Kei-kun?" asked Haruka.
"Sure, Haruka-chan. This is Keitaro," says Narumi smiling. She turns slightly
so the girls can see him.
Haruka is mesmerized when she looks into his eyes for the first time. This
encounter affects her more deeply that others who have seen him.
Instantly, she falls in love with him and vows right then within her young
heart to always be with, and watch over him.
Something similar happens to Tsuruko, but not to the same degree.
Until noon and they go have lunch, the two watch Narumi feed Keitaro and keep
them company.
Later that same day while Narumi is sleeping, Natsumi feeds Keitaro from her
breasts after she finishes with Mutsumi. A special bond forms between them as
the milk from her body enters into him.
From_this_point_until_the_end_of_the_chapter,_the_story_skips_to_snapshots_and
snippets_from_Keitaro's_early_life.
-Jumping_ahead_two_years-
For the most part, Keitaro is the normal little boy that Narumi had wanted.
He gets hungry at the normal time, messes his diapers at the normal time and
even teethes at the proper time. For the first year or so of his young life,
Keitaro shows little sign that he possesses the amazing abilities that will
mark him one day when he is older. He learns to sit up, crawl and even walk at
the proper time.
There is one particular thing that his parents' are beginning to realize and
that is Keitaro's seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy. As soon as his
little legs were strong enough to stand on, Keitaro began to run everywhere.
Keiichiro and Narumi, though proud of their son, are exhausted at the end of
the day even, more so than even he is.
Needing help in raising her hyperactive son, Narumi asks Yoko if Haruka could
come to her house over after school and watch him.
Yoko cannot help but laugh at the ‘handful’ her nephew has become since he was
born. She drops Haruka off and even picks Keitaro up when Narumi needs some
quiet around the house to study for her MBA.
Keiichiro, with his own business concerns growing and watching over some of the
other Urashima enterprises, has absolutely no time to help. In addition, he is
considering getting his Doctorate in business and finances.
…and so it goes.
Haruka loves her little cousin because like her everything fascinates him.
One of the biggest things that she notices is that Keitaro has absolutely no
fear of anything. She found out about this as he tried to climb a tree because
he saw a squirrel do it. Going up halfway, Haruka has to climb up herself and
get an objecting Keitaro down out of the lower branches.
“This kid,” she says laughing and chases off after him again.
When Haruka relays tales to her Oji-san about Keitaro’s antics, Keiichiro
laughs causing Narumi to swat him on the arm for being silly.
Later, during the middle of summer…
The Council convenes as Aoyama-sama had requested to hear about Keitaro's
progress.
In Kyoto, a happy little toddler is running around happily with his cousin and
Tsuruko.
Haruka is watching him because Narumi insisted on sitting with her family in
the Council chamber this time since the discussion is about her son. She is a
doting Okā-san and although she is not a martial artist as is her family, she
has the total support of those who are. You know the old axiom about coming
between a mama bear and her cub. (Very dangerous if I say so myself.) 
Much to her surprise, she is happy to learn that everyone is pleased with how
her son is progressing.
Additionally, there are no sutras posted anywhere in the Aoyama compound. No
comments of irritation, blanching or even feelings of discomfort even as
Keitaro runs around in the midst of them.
Many of them have said to Harumi that they are surprised by how normal little
Keitaro seems to be.
Then, everyone in the room hears a little boy's laughter as a door slides open
and a giggling Keitaro comes running into the chamber. Keitaro makes a beeline
straight towards Narumi.
Some murmuring and stifled laughter comes from those sitting here in the room.
They all see a normal Okā-san pick up her amazing son.
"I will not have it any other way," says Narumi to the assembled group. She
holds her son in her arms and hugs him close.
Breathlessly, two exasperated girls enter the hall red-faced. Hearing some
chuckling and giggling, the two head to where Narumi is standing.
"Gomenasai, minna-san. Kei-kun got away from us again," says Haruka as she and
Tsuruko bow to everyone.
Harumi sets Keitaro down on his feet and motions to the two girls to take him
back outside.
Haruka and Tsuruko take him in hand and quietly leave the room. All except for
some chattering from Keitaro.
"Like I said, minna,” re-iterates Narumi, “I will not have it any other way".
She gets a few muted laughs from those present.
Hina smiles as things are proceeding according to the wishes of her daughter-
in-law, that is to say, having a normal son. 
For now that is...
-Three_years_later,_a_very_special_relationship_begins-
Summertime around the Hinata is a lot of fun for those who wish to find it.
Yoko sits under the shade of the open air Tea Room watching the kids play out
in the Hinata Hill.
The other adults are shopping at the markets in town.
The now thirteen-year-old Haruka is babysitting five-year-old Keitaro and six-
year-old Otohime Mutsumi today. These three along with Tsuruko are having a lot
of fun playing together out on the hilltop.
Hina invited friends of the family to come this year and celebrate O-Bon at the
Hinata this year.
The ancient shrine out back will be the site for the rituals Koji Oji-san will
officiate. Keiichiro and Ruka cleared away any brush from around the old
covered building.
Hina led the other women in the family in cleaning off many ancient statues and
idols before the family place them inside the shrine for the three-day
remembrance of their ancestors.
Running through the fields here on the hilltop, the kids are having a lot of
fun chasing each other around.
Their little friend, two-year old Narusegawa Naru, tires out quickly because
she is not feeling well. She sits with Yoko who smiles at her.
Keitaro gets very frustrated because he is the first one who the others find as
they play hide-and-go-seek. The other three easily hone in on his Chi which
makes Keitaro stand out like a 'beacon along the shore'. They find him in the
old wood box, a hollow log, up a tree and even behind the old dilapidated
Annex.
Starting to whine, Keitaro steps into the shrine to hide this time.
His Okā-san and Obaa-san have told him many times not to enter the ancient
shrine alone. There are too many ways a small boy can be hurt even though he is
immune to such things.
Little Keitaro goes in anyway because the ancient statuary just fascinates him…
Inside the shrine, he sees a statue of Amaretsu and a pantheon of other Shinto
gods. What really captures his attention the most is a beautifully sculpted
meter tall green jade statue of a Dragon by the side of the altar. The age of
which, no one knows.
Crawling behind a small wooden dais, Keitaro hunkers down behind the main altar
in hopes that the girls will not find him here. He wants to win this time.
Sitting here quietly, Keitaro looks over at the fine Dragon statue and thinks
that it looks like the monster Gojira (Godzilla in the west) from the movies he
has watched on TV with his Otō-san. He smiles and does not fear the idol
because it looks so real.
Outside…
"Kei-kun, where are you?" says an exasperated Haruka. For once, she cannot
detect Keitaro’s aura.
"Maybe he went over by the Hinata," says Tsuruko who is just as exasperated.
She is more attuned to Keitaro than Haruka is, but senses nothing as well.
Taking Mutsumi's hands, the trio heads back to the ancient manse.
Thinking that he is home free since the girls cannot find him, Keitaro gets
ready to sprint out towards the Annex.
However, something happens that forever changes his life when he backs into the
finely sculpted Dragon statue and knocks it over.
Shattering, it flashes brilliantly.
Never in his young life has Keitaro seen the likes of what he is looking at
right now.
Somehow filling the whole of the shrine is the spectre of a bluish-white furred
Dragon. Hovering above the floor, the smiling beast looks down at Keitaro. At a
length of forty meters, its slender body coils around the ceiling.
Keitaro shows no fear and looks up in awe at the specter before him.
"Hello, my son,” says the Dragon, “Did you free me from that statue?" It is
smiling because it can feel the positive aura coming from the little boy.
"Hai, masutā-ryū," answers Keitaro without hesitation. (Writer's note: "Yes,
Master-dragon" in Japanese)
"Arigato gozaimasu, my son. You are not afraid of me, are you?" asks the giant
creature laughing. He sees an opportunity here to teach and impart wisdom
again.
Keitaro shakes his head side-to-side and smiles.
"May I travel with you and see what you see, my son?" asks the Dragon.
Keitaro nods.
"By the way, my boy. What is your name?" the Dragon asks in a polite manner.
"Keitaro, my name is Urashima Keitaro, Master Ryu. How are you going to go with
me?" asks Keitaro innocently. He is genuinely curious now.
"Watch," Master Ryu answers with a brilliant smile.
Gathering speed, Master Ryu circles his long spectral body around the shrine
and disappears into Keitaro's chest.
Clapping his hands together happily while jumping up-and-down, Keitaro watches
as his ethereal new friend enters into him.
"That tickles," says the little boy giggling. He feels the Dragon-Sensei
smiling back at him.
Master Ryu will become the most important teacher that Keitaro will have in
years to come. A symbiotic relationship has only happened a few times in the
ancient past when a Dragon or a Turtle Sensei's spiritual essence needed a host
after their physical body takes damage that is beyond healing after battling
against the evil Fire Horses.
Keitaro walks out of the shrine with an enigmatic smile on his face.
Later at dinner, no one has any idea of what happened in the shrine. Only
Haruka notices a change in Keitaro, but says nothing.
The shards of the broken statue disintegrate in little puffs of smoke and
leaves behind no trace that it had ever existed.
-Keitaro_learns_a_few_things_about_girls-
Over the past four years, Keitaro and Haruka have been practically inseparable.
The sight of them holding hands either at his or her house, in public, at a
demonstration tournament or even here at the Aoyama compound, these two are
constantly together when not in school. Neither care about the PDA taboo…
Haruka's love for Keitaro is absolute.
An example of this is when Keitaro comes to her house to spend the night.
Instead of having him sleep on the floor in a futon, Haruka has him share her
large comfortable bed. She loves to feel him snuggle into her after he kisses
her goodnight.
In the morning, she helps him get dressed so they can go out and have fun
together.
Even when they go to the store, their hands are always together. Haruka refuses
to let him go as she watches over him like a hawk. He is hers and as long as
they are with each other, nothing will ever happen to him. Like it could in the
first place…
Although he has all of the power in the world, Keitaro behaves himself and
always listen to Haruka as they hold hands.
This includes when they take a bath together. Haruka sits on the stool and
giggles while watching him wash her large breasts. She holds him close to her
in the tub as he sits on her lap.
Although she fills out quite nicely into a gorgeous teenager, this does not
stop her from being in the nude around him when they bathe together.
Haruka knows he is too young to react to her right now but she still likes it
when he touches her body. Haruka is waiting for Keitaro to become old enough so
he can appreciate what he cannot right now.
They talk about everything under the sun when together. She tries to let him
know that she will always be here for him.
Master Ryu is the only thing that he keeps secret, but he will not be able to
keep this from her when he is older. We will learn why when he is an adult.
Keitaro likes to straddle her lap when the two are alone together. After taking
a walk on the Hinata Hill, they will sit under one of the big maple trees that
grows in such abundance up here.
Haruka likes it when he faces her, because she likes to look at him like this.
He puts a flower in her hair that he picked out of a bunch that lies near them.
She gives him a brilliant smile.
"Haru-chan, you are so beautiful," he says right out of the blue.
"Arigato, my Kei-kun. You are so kind to me," says Haruka. She gently pulls him
forward and kisses his forehead.
He blushes bright red when she releases him.
The smile on her face is just beaming.
This is just one of many kisses that the two will share over the coming years.
-First_signs_of_brilliance-
Visiting Yoko Oba-san's office with his Otō-san, she gives him some paper and a
pencil so he can keep himself occupied.
She is discussing some plans with Keiichiro about a new store he would like to
build. Business has been very good.
After the adults finish their discussion, Keitaro stays behind because
Keiichiro needs to conduct some family business upstairs with his Okā-san.
Yoko says she will watch him.
A short time later…
"What are you drawing, Oba-san?" asks Keitaro looking up from the table he is
sitting at.
"Just a building that someone asked me to draw for them," Yoko says lifting her
head and looking back at him from the mechanical drawing desk in her huge
office.
Even though she owns Urashima and Partners Architects, Yoko keeps her hand in
the drawing aspect of the business besides the contracting and sales end. At
thirty-nine, many consider her a star in this particular field, not only Japan
but also in South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. She has just added some
new computer equipment into her office and has something new called CAD on the
main screen.
She then adds, "What do you have there, Kei-kun? Bring it on over."
Surprising her with his raw talent, Keitaro listens when she shows him a few
tricks on how to improve what he has already drawn on paper.
He absorbs everything she tells him because he remembers everything he hears
and sees, as well as what he reads or watches on TV.
Yoko thinks he is showing signs of having an eidetic memory.
Keitaro proves this to her by repeating everything back verbatim that she says
or shows him.
She believes that her nephew is beginning to show some of the same traits that
their ancestor Taro did four hundred years ago.
Hina smiles and nods when Yoko informs her.
-Learning_something_new-
Aoyama Taichi invites the Urashima to come down to his families' compound in
Kyoto once more to discuss the possibility of testing Keitaro's newfound
abilities. The Council wants to see if him demonstrate his prowess before them.
They also want to check to see if he has control over his great power and to
what the extent it is.
Hina laughs, but Narumi is rather leery of this ‘invitation’.
Haruka and Keitaro, along with Tsuruko and her Imouto-chan Motoko, have been
walking around the grounds while the adults discuss so-called important matters
concerning him.
Keitaro has to stop and use the bathroom because he tells Haruka that he has to
pee.
Motoko whines when her Okā-san calls her in to take a nap. She is not happy
because she is having fun with the other three. She likes being around Keitaro
and has a crush on him. Who would have thought this?
Keitaro steps out of the bathroom and is almost outside when he sees something
that totally surprises him.
Haruka has her arms around Tsuruko's neck and the two are kissing. Not just
touching lips mind you, it is an out-and-out full-blown French kiss.
The scene playing itself out before him fascinates a red-faced Keitaro. He has
seen his Otō-san and Okā-san kiss like this, as well as his Oba-san and Oji-san
too, but never two girls before.
Silently he watches them make out and hears his Haruka-chan moan when Tsuruko
puts her hands on his beloved cousin's large breasts. Then Tsuruko begin to
kiss her neck and nibble on her ear.
Haruka softly moans.
'Why is Tsu Nee-chan lifting up the front of Haru-chan's skirt?' he thinks
watching Tsuruko put her hand into Haruka's panties.
“Tsu-chan,” gasps Haruka.
The taller teen giggles.
He does not have a clue, as of yet... Oh well.
Mystified by this scene, Keitaro does not react to it because he is still a few
years away from puberty. He does not want to embarrass them and gets an idea of
what to do. Going back to the bathroom door, he plans to make a lot of noise so
his Haru-chan and Tsu-chan have a chance to break out of their clinch.
Slam!
He comes back and sees the two smiling at him before taking his hands to
continue their walk. Both teens have a slight blush on their faces as they move
on.
In years to come, Haruka will explain to him why she was making out with
Tsuruko.
-A_public_display_of_control-
A short time later…
Hina Obaa-san takes Keitaro along with Haruka to a Martial Arts tournament that
the Urashima clan is sponsoring in Tokyo. She has been teaching him in the ways
of their family arts for the past three years and wants him to see what others
can do in the arena. Entering the exhibition hall, the trappings that are about
the room fascinate Keitaro.
One thing in particular catches his eye as he passes by a pile of bricks that
has a sign on it, which reads, 'Only the finest warrior can break the bottom
one without disturbing the others'.
A yellow painted brick has a Kanji symbol on the side. (Writer's note: the
Kanji is 'shinjitsu' meaning- truth, reality) 
Since this challenge came into being, not one challenger has successfully
completed in shattering that single brick. The bricks are stacked thirty high
and are staggered in such a manner that you cannot concentrate on breaking the
bottom yellow one in a straight line.
This challenge has stymied many great champions who have tried it so far. Many
consider this challenge impossible and unfair.
"Baa-chan, may I try that?" asks Keitaro innocently looking up at her. He likes
challenges.
Haruka smiles at her cousin because she has seen his abilities lately start to
appear. The first ones, like increased strength and speed, started showing up
about six months ago before tonight and knowledge of how to incapacitate
someone instantly by popping out and striking faster than the eye can see has
come to him within the past week. As he gets older, his ancestors' gifts are
showing up in increasing numbers.
In addition, Master Ryu is also teaching Keitaro how to concentrate and work
through a matter by thinking clearly, especially when no one else is around at
night. After finishing his homework and calling Haruka to say goodnight, Master
Ryu would pop out of him enough to instruct him on some ancient Dragon wisdom.
"Sure Kei-kun, why not. Go have some fun and liven things up a bit in here,"
answers Hina Obaa-san with a smirk. She knows of his great strength and
concentration.
However, Narumi has told her that he cannot fight in tournaments even though
she will allow him to learn the Urashima way. She believes that her son will do
well in learning her husband's family arts so that he will have the physical
and mental discipline to keep himself out of trouble.
Upon hearing this, Hina Obaa-san as head of the Urashima officially bans
Keitaro from competing in tournaments. This ban does not really bother Keitaro
that much because he just likes the forms and the exercise he gets. He abhors
violence anyway.
With his sharp young mind, Keitaro picks up most of the Urashima Arts just by
observation alone. His innate skills are becoming more evident and he has
already surpassed everyone in his family or even in the Aoyama Alliance. This
is much to the chagrin of the Shinmeiryu Swordmasters.
Walking over to the main table where three men in Hakama and Gi bearing the
crests of the Urashima clan are sitting. Keitaro bows politely and asks,
"Hayao-Sensei, may I please try the challenge of the yellow brick?"
The center judge, who is Hina Obaa-san's oldest nephew, smiles at him and
responds, "Sure Keitaro, go ahead if you want to." He too is a member of the
Aoyama Council being Mariko's oldest son. 'I bet everyone will just shit their
pants when they see him break that bottom brick'. Hayao is also one of
Keitaro's teachers in the Urashima Arts.
Keitaro steps over to the display to try his luck. Some of the tournament
participants look on as they see him look over the puzzle before him. He sees
the yellow brick at the bottom of the others.
"You might want to tape your hand little boy if you want to try that," says a
young man sarcastically as he prepares to mount the center platform for his
next bout.
Hina Obaa-san, Haruka and any of the others in the auditorium who are sensitive
to aural pressure feel a sharp ramping up of Chi.
'Close your eyes and see the brick with your mind, my son,' instructs Master
Ryu inside of Keitaro.
Closing his eyes, Keitaro sees the yellow brick and concentrates only that,
nothing else.
The audience is slowly quieting as some feel wave after wave of aural pressure
come from him. No one in the place has ever felt anything like it.
The young man who had mocked him stands there and watches.
Keitaro, at first touches the top brick with the flat of his right palm before
tapping into the Chi that he is exuding. Faster than anyone in the Basho can
follow, he strikes the top of the pile.
Exploding into powder, the yellow brick disintegrates without the boy making
another sound.
The resulting noise echoes loudly through the place, which then follows a
moment of sheer silence.
"Oh shit," shouts the rude young man who nearly falls over backwards and shits
his pants.
Other people witnessing this are also having difficulty in believing that
Keitaro, a non-descript nine-year-old boy, could accomplish it.
Those though who are familiar with the boy and his emerging abilities just
smile like it is an everyday occurrence.
Haruka nudges the person next to her and says, "That is my Kei-kun for you." He
gives her the thumbs up and Obaa-san musses his hair up sharing a laugh with
him while they hug.
The next time he meets the rude young man it will not be under the same
pleasant circumstances.
-One_year_later-
A small, dark-haired five-year-old girl sits quietly in the main office at a
well-kept orphanage. This is her last day here.
The director of the place tells her that she is going to have a new home and
family. Kanako has it explained to her so she can understand. This place has
been very good to her as there are many other little ones here for her to play
with.
The Urashima generously support this orphanage so it can have the finest staff
and facilities.
However, when she finds out that she is finally going to have an Otō-san and
Okā-san as well as an Onii-chan of her own, she is very happy.
The other kids and staff have a farewell party and wish her the best with her
new family.
Narumi went to the OB/GYN after she could not conceive again and finds out she
cannot have another child. He tells her that she was very lucky to have had her
son. She then talks to Keiichiro about adopting a little girl as an Imouto-chan
for Keitaro. He likes the idea and uses his family contacts and their
solicitors to get the ball rolling. Not too long after this, they receive a
packet stating that a little girl is available for adoption right away.
Narumi wants a daughter to spoil and teach her things that her mother taught
her. She knows that her son will be very happy when he meets her.
In their large house, they pick out the perfect room for her and order
everything that a five-year-old girl could ever want or need.
Picking up the little girl with some toys in hand for her, they sign the
adoption papers. Being that they are Urashima, the process goes by very
quickly.
The head of the family's law firm sent the necessary forms to the orphans' home
as soon as Keiichiro set down the receiver to the phone.
Sitting in the back seat, the girl is holding a toy of a black cat she tells
her new parents' that she now calls Kuro. (Writer's note: Kuro in Japanese
means black) 
Keiichiro buckles Kanako into her new booster seat for the ride to her new
home. She is not afraid and has no fear when she held her new Okā-san's hand to
walk outside of her old home for the last time.
Kanako smiles when the other kids' wave goodbye as Keiichiro pulls out of the
parking lot.
On the way home, both of the adults in the front seat notice how quiet she is.
Narumi then turns and asks, "Are you okay, sweetie? Do you need anything?"
The girl just shakes her head and plays some more with her stuffed animal.
Narumi nods at her and smiles before turning back around for the rest of their
journey.
The car pulls into the driveway and they see that Keitaro is home. His bicycle
is in the rack between the house and the garage.
Coming inside her new home, a wide-eyed Kanako looks around at everything.
"Okaeri, Kei-kun,” says Keiichiro into a wall-mounted speaker, “Please come
down here for a minute son".
"Hai, Tou-san," answers the boy through the speaker.
After a minute, Keitaro comes down into the living room and sees a little girl
standing there. When he sees them standing there, he says, "Tadaima".
He smiles at her and she stares at him.
She does not seem to be afraid of him.
"Keitaro, this is your new Imouto-chan, Kanako. You are going to be an Onii-
chan from now on," says Narumi.
As soon as Kanako hears the words for 'dear brother', she hollers, "Onii-chan!"
Then, she rushes over to hug him.

***** -Part 1: Establishing Dominance- Chapter 2: Keitaro’s early years Pt.2
*****
-Writer's_special_note: As with chapter 1, this will be a collection of
snapshots and snippets into the rest of Keitaro's early life. It starts right
after he meets Kanako, and concludes when he begins his Master’s program at
Tokyo University.
Some of these events will be short and others will be much longer in length.-
-Kanako_learns_just_how_special_her_Onii-chan_really_is-
It has been a few months since Kanako's adoption into the Urashima. Everything
has gone very well between her and Keitaro, to the point where she only calls
him Onii-chan now.
Whenever they go anywhere with their parents or to the nearby park together to
play, Keitaro always holds onto her hand.
In the short time that they have been together, Kanako has come to trust her
Onii-chan without reservation. She believes that there is something special
about him. She has already seen him do some very spectacular feats in that
short space of time.
With third year high school student Haruka studying for her Tokyo University
entrance exams, Keitaro is sad when she cannot come over to his house whenever
he wants to see her right now. To make it up to Keitaro, she calls every night
and says hello to him without fail.
She asks how he is doing and if he is getting along with his new Imouto-chan.
Speaking of which, the situation with his beloved Haruka gives him an
opportunity to bond and become very close to Kanako.
She loves her Onii-chan and will soon get to see him use more of his amazing
powers.
Here is an example when the siblings are playing together…
On a beautiful spring day, Keitaro takes Kanako to a nearby park. He has a lot
of fun pushing his Imouto-chan on a swing and enjoys listening to her laughter.
After this, they go and play around the slide and the 'monkey bars'.
Out of the blue, Kanako decides to get a little daring and climb the bars so
she can show-off to her Onii-chan.
Walking over, the little girl places her foot on the bottom rung and begins her
ascent.
Although they are only two meters high, it seems like a mountain to a six-year
old girl with an adventurous streak. Using her uncanny strength and agility, it
only takes her a few minutes to climb to the top.
The space between the bars is not very wide, so grabbing on to them did not
take very much effort, but...
"Onii-chan. Look at me," says Kanako. She is laughing from up on top of the
bars.
"Be careful, Kana-chan. Please come down, you are up too high," says Keitaro
concerned for her safety. He is playing with a small car in the nearby sandbox.
"Okay, Onii-chan," says Kanako.
Reaching for a bar to start climbing down, her hand slips.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" she screams. Her momentum carries her through a hole and
towards the ground.
However, she never reaches it…
Hearing his Imouto-chan's scream, Keitaro moves faster than the human eye can
follow and mangles one whole side of the bars to reach her in time.
Running underneath to where she is falling, He feels Kanako's tiny body as her
weight drops into his arms and the screaming girl comes to a sudden stop.
At this moment, Keitaro does not care if someone sees anything or not. Only
Kanako’s safety matters to him.
It takes a few seconds for her young mind to process the fact that she is now
safe in her beloved Onii-chan's arms.
"I am so sorry, Onii-chan," cries Kanako in between sobs. She then hugs him
very tight.
"I told you to be careful, Kana-chan,” says Keitaro holding her in his arm, “It
will be okay now". He rubs his face affectionately against hers, which helps
her calm down.
A smile comes back on her face as she starts to giggle.
“Better,” he asks pulling back some.
Kanako looks at him and just nods her answer. This event still somewhat stuns
her, and she knows that he has just saved her from a very bad fall. 
Now, her trust in him is absolute.
"Just be careful next time," says her eleven-year-old Onii-chan.
They smile at each other as he sets her back on her feet.
After a minute, Kanako looks off to the left of Keitaro and points at
something. In awe, she then asks, "Onii-chan, did you do that?"
He looks to where she is pointing and turns bright red with embarrassment. The
damage that he did to one whole side of the bars is quite extensive.
Without hesitation, Keitaro steps over to where the damage is as Kanako follows
close behind.
Smiling at her, Keitaro says, "Watch this, Kana-chan."
Making it look easy, Keitaro straightens all of the bent steel rods in front of
her.
Kanako's jaw drops in wonder at what her Onii-chan is doing to the bars. Her
love and reverence for him right then goes up exponentially.
After Keitaro finishes, it amazes her that all of the bars look the same as
they did just a few minutes before.
"Kana-chan, you must promise to never tell anyone what I just showed you. Pinky
swear with me," he says smiling. Holding out his right hand, he extends his
little finger.
"Okay, Onii-chan. I promise," responds Kanako with a brilliant smile. She
copies exactly what he does.
The two then interlock their right pinkies and shake them down.
Kanako will remember this event for as long as she lives.
Inside of him, Master Ryu smiles his approval at how his pupil has conducted
himself towards his Imouto-chan and that he is using his gifts wisely.
After straightening Kanako's shirt and pants, Keitaro takes her hand and
decides that it is time for them to go home.
This incident catches the notice of certain unsavory characters who are sitting
in a van from across the park. They have had the two children under
surveillance for the past couple of hours.
What they have witnessed here a few moments before completely stuns them. The
boys' speed and reaction time is beyond anything that they have ever seen.
Later, one of them reports that the boy is beginning to show his higher
abilities to a certain nefarious faction.
“So, I was right,” says a shadowy figure.
-One_year_later,_some_family_fun-
Keitaro enjoys having fun with Martial Arts, especially the Urashima ones.
Sometimes, he gets into trouble with Haruka or his Otō-san for showing off too
much.
However, Keiichiro does not punish him because he is very proud of Keitaro.
When Keitaro works on his Katas, Kanako stands next to her beloved Onii-chan
and tries to imitate him. Although she tries and works very hard at it, he does
that no one could ever hope to duplicate, but Kanako perseveres anyway. Later,
Kanako will become a Master in the Urashima Arts and only Keitaro himself will
surpass her.
A short time afterwards, on a beautiful spring day after the Sakura have
peaked, Keiichiro and Narumi bring Keitaro and Kanako over to the Hinata. Some
of the clan elders wish to see for themselves how Keitaro is progressing and to
what extent his abilities have manifested themselves.
Hina Obaa-san personally takes great interest in Keitaro's training and notices
that he puts a lot of effort into all of the moves that their style possesses.
The other clan members see this as well.
His movements have no wasted motion and his concentration to detail is very
exact.
This alone endears him to the elders of the Urashima.
When everyone else is breaking boards, Keitaro ups the ante by turning logs
into firewood. The same thing happens when his other cousins are breaking the
smaller bricks. He steps up to a giant boulder by the waterfall on Hinata Hill
and prepares to strike it.
"Come on, Keitaro-kun. That is too big for you," says his cousin Tomo. The boy
is a little jealous of what Keitaro can do, nevertheless the two are very good
friends.
Keitaro, since the moment that he became cognizant of his surrounding, has
never liked hearing that there is something that he cannot do. Not when it
comes to misbehaving mind you, but physical and mental challenges or exercises,
so ramping up his Chi he focuses in on a spot and punches the rock.
The release of aural pressure at that moment is almost overwhelming, as is the
noise.
They all get the surprise of their collective lives when the big rock that some
of their ancestors used to meditate on explodes loudly and in a huge cloud of
dust.
When the dust settles, he find that he had scared the living daylights out of
Hina Obaa-san and the other elders standing nearby when he ramped his aura up
and struck the rock.
"Show-off," says Hina Obaa-san smiling after the fact. She has a lot of
justifiable pride in him, and with good cause.
The other elders are just incredulous until Mariko Ōoba-san quips, "So the
little son-of-a-bitch is showing off again".
Standing here with the look at her, Mariko’s words flabbergast them.
When the others see the snarky smile on her face, they all laugh.
Sarcastically, she then adds, "How many of you almost shit your pants when Kei-
kun destroyed that fucking rock, eh?" Mariko does not know how to be discreet
in public. She has a very crude way of saying things when she is trying to get
a point across.
Anyway, Mariko is very proud of the boy and is mildly jealous of the fact that
her Onee-chan is his Obaa-san.
Nevertheless, that is something she does not let bother her.
"Well said, Mariko-chan. But a little crude," says Hina laughing very hard at
her choice of words. 
Hinata and Mariko are like two-peas-in-a-pod, as you will never find two people
who are closer or more loyal to each other. Though crude as stated, Mariko
loves Hina very much and runs their family empire with an iron fist. Hina is
the one who provides the velvet glove when she has to.
"Come on, Hina,” says Mariko with some exasperation in her voice, “You know
that I love that boy as if he were my own, and maybe more so. That bastard
Aoyama-sama is not going to go easy on him next summer and you know that. The
son-of-a-bitch is probably going to devise some complicated test for him and it
will be a shitty one too. You know too how that will set Narumi off, plus how
do you think Haruka will react?"
Mariko said off to the side so that only her Onee-san can hear. Even though she
knows how powerful he is, she still bothers her immensely.
Haruka and Kanako are off to the side holding Keitaro's hands, as others in the
clan now do their Katas.
"We will see. We will see," says Hina smiling confidently.
-How_to_make_someone_look_very_stupid,_without_really_trying…-
A week later, Hina Obaa-san and Keiichiro take Haruka, Keitaro and Kanako to a
local Basho for a tournament that the Urashima is sponsoring this year.
Beforehand, there will be various Martial Arts demonstrations, a few exhibition
matches and then two championship contests.
Keitaro, dressed resplendently in a Hakama and Gi bearing the five crests
Urashima clan, will be performing on the main platform before the main
championship match. He is going to do a demonstration of the Urashima Arts
along with some moves that he has come up with himself.
"You look very handsome tonight, Kei-kun," says Haruka kissing his cheek.
Smiling shyly, her compliment causes him to blush.
Now a student at Tokyo University, Haruka finds that she has even less time to
spend with her beloved. Class, studying and writing papers takes up most of her
time.
Kanako does not hear what she said to him because she is getting some ice cream
with her Otō-san, or she would be very jealous.
Any time Haruka gets to spends with him is now very precious to her. When the
summer break begins, she wants to spend as much time as she can with him, and
has already planned a two-week getaway for them.
Today though she just wants to see her beloved Kei-kun perform.
Around the Martial Arts circles of central and southern Japan, Keitaro has
garnered quite a reputation for doing complex and very intricate Katas. The
memories of what he accomplished at the previous years' Basho is still fresh in
the minds of many fighters who are here.
Keitaro sits between Haruka and Kanako enjoying the bouts. Holding hands with
Haruka, he is not nervous about performing just before the main championship
bout.
Down on the main floor, Keiichiro hears some buzz that a few of the older
champions would like to take a crack at Keitaro. Seeing those who are with him,
no one is willing to do so, or have the strength to defy the Urashima ban on
him fighting here.
Hina knows that her grandson just wants to have fun, so she sees to it that he
does.
In addition, Keiichiro likes to see his son show off because he is very proud
of what the boy can do.
The first few contests of the evening are preliminaries between some of the
younger fighters.
Backstage…
In the main dressing room, a young man who uses the stage name of ‘Kuroite’
Kenichi is sitting on a bench taping his hands for his bout. (Writer's note:
'Kuroite' means 'Black Hand' in Japanese, apropos because many consider his
hands to be lethal weapons)
He is the same fighter who was rude to Keitaro the previous year. Time it
seems, has not improved his arrogant disposition one iota.
He has it in mind one day to challenge the Urashima boy, ban or no ban. Some
people are just pig-headed it seems. Kenichi hears the murmuring of the others
standing by the open door that looks out onto the main platform.
When it is time, Keitaro steps forward and jumps onto the platform. He warms up
before beginning his demonstration in front of the large audience.
Nothing prepares Kenichi for the spectacle that he is about to witness.
Mistakenly, he still thinks that breaking the brick at a Basho last year was a
trick after watching Keitaro walk away so calmly afterwards. There are too many
people around for him to fool everyone twice.   …or so goes his delusion.
Seeing a twelve-year-old boy doing things that he could never ever hope to
duplicate is a huge blow to Kenichi's considerable ego. At the same time, his
anger rises because he feels that Keitaro is unjustly stealing the spotlight
away from him.
Having had enough, Kenichi spots his manager over by the stands and walks over
to him. Noticing where the Urashima family are sitting, the young champion
points at them and tells him to arrange a match with Keitaro. He wants to put a
possible twelve-year-old usurper in his place.
His manager looks at him as if he is crazy, but does it any way before the
sixteen-year-old titleholder starts beating on him instead.
Keeping his eye on Keitaro as the exhibition continues, Kenichi pounds his
fists together because he wants a piece of his ass, and he wants it now.
"Sorry, Kenichi,” says the manager nervously, “The boy is not allowed to fight.
It seems that there was some kind of lifetime ban placed on him by the head of
the Urashima. They say that he is much too dangerous or some such shit".
This does not sit well with the volatile teenager at all.
Therefore, in a fit of rage he charges the center platform where Keitaro is
performing.
"You are a fucking coward for hiding behind your Obaa-san’s Yukata,” hollers
Kenichi up at Keitaro, “I am going to kick your ass".
Many in the audience scream in terror and think that the teenage champion is
going to kill the young boy.
‘Baka,’ thinks Keitaro trying not to smirk.
However, it takes less than a minute for the audience to see something that
they never expected.
Except for the Urashima family members that is…
Everyone gets the surprise of a lifetime when the spectacle on the platform
turns one-sidedly comical.
Standing in the middle of the raised platform, Keitaro sidesteps a charging
Kenichi. For the next fifteen minutes, he gives the audience a free clinic on
how to block punches and kicks. Not once does he throw a punch in return, even
when he has an opening.
Nonchalantly, Hina Obaa-san saunters over to the platform and watches Keitaro
with a huge smile on her face. Technically, he is not supposed to fight, but
Hina enjoys watching her grandson's proper use of their clan’s defensive
techniques. 
Most of the punches thrown could have easily sent a lesser martial artist to
the hospital, or even the morgue.
Starting to look bored, Keitaro changes his stance and blocks everything with
one hand while stifling a yawn with the other.
"Showoff," says Hina Obaa-san laughing.
Looking away from his opponent, Keitaro smiles and even bows to her.
"You asshole," screams Kenichi when he sees that Keitaro is no longer taking
this seriously.
"Hey, I did not start this,” says Keitaro looking back at his angered opponent,
“Plus, I can keep this up all night if you want. Can you?"
Kenichi is beginning to annoy to him. He hopes that the older teen has had
enough and will stop soon.
"Oh fuck this," says Kenichi breathing heavily and running out of steam. He
stops fighting and looks out into the audience to see that people are actually
laughing at him trying to hit one young kid who is not moving very much.
Hina gives the lad a look of, ‘See, we told you’.
Bursting into tears at his humiliation, he jumps off the platform, runs past
Hina Obaa-san and heads towards the relative obscurity of the locker room.
Hina beams with obvious pride, as the applause from the audience is thunderous.
"I am very proud of you, Kei-kun,” says Hina Obaa-san,” You did excellent in
defending yourself without fighting". She the hops up on the platform to
receive a bow from him.
Haruka and Kanako both have stars in their eyes.
Keiichiro is a very proud Otō-san at this moment.
However, Keitaro learns how ‘too human’ he is as well…
Near the end of the spring semester of his first year of junior high, Keitaro
is riding his bike home by a different path due to some construction. Peddling
by a railway overpass, he passes near an old closed middle school partially
torn down.
The building is from the end of the Meiji period and so the prefecture closed
it down about five years ago. There are two groups fighting over what to do
with the building: either to restore it into a museum because of the Prussian-
Germanic style of architecture, or maybe just tear it down.
With little to do today since Kanako is with their Okā-san, Keitaro decides to
stop for a few minutes to see if he can feel any residual aura that permeates
from the old place. Tapping into his Chi, he reaches out to it.
Nothing, it seems that the spirit of this bygone era structure has long since
departed.
Nevertheless…
Putting the kickstand down on his bike, Keitaro walks past the orange cones and
hops over a Jersey barrier.
He wants to feel for lingering impressions from happier times, if they still
exist here. Although not seeing any faces or images, Keitaro does hear some
lingering laughter from those who were once students here. Smiling, he touches
a support column and feels some of the life that was once present long ago.
‘Nothing much left, but those days were happy ones,’ he thinks rounding a
corner to the building’s west side.
After a few minutes of this, Keitaro notices that most of the back of the
structure has collapsed. It saddens him to think that a once wonderful place
has slowly died. He hates it that this is now just another abandoned building
condemned to the ash heap of history.
The tinkling of window glass being broken then breaks his reverie.
Coming around to the front of the building again he sees three older boys
throwing rocks knocking out what few panes of glass remain in the place.
This does not sit too well with Keitaro and actually makes him very angry.
'Do not do it, my boy,' says the voice of Master Ryu from inside of him.
"Hey! Stop that," says Keitaro in a very loud voice.
'Onegai, calm down' pleads the Master.
"Make us," says one of them back before throwing a rock at Keitaro. The boys
laugh when it nearly hits him. They then ignore him and start in on the glass
again.
"I SAID STOP!" says Keitaro once more in a voice that is unearthly loud voice.
He also ramps up his Chi to the point where he starts to glow.
'NO!' comes a second plea from his Sensei.
Then to put emphasis behind his words he strikes a main exterior support pylon.
This causes a very loud explosion and the rest of the building collapses in a
big heap of rubble.
Shitting their pants, the boys run away after seeing what Keitaro had done to
the old building.
"Oh no," says Keitaro aghast after powering down, "Hina Obaa-san and my Otō-san
are going to kill me."
Inside of him, there is only silence. He knows he has disappointed Master Ryu.
Shocked beyond all credulity, two Tokyo police officers arriving on site
witnessed this event as it unfolded. They had originally received a call about
some vandalism in the area.
As the two officers were about to chase the miscreants away, they hear a loud
voice, an explosion and see the rest of the building collapse.
When everything settles, the duo see Keitaro standing in the midst of the ruins
all covered in dust blinking in horror at what he had just done.
Warily, the officers get out of their squad car and walk over to confront
Keitaro. Neither of them can believe what they had just watched happen here.
"What is your name, young man?" asks the older of the two officers.
"Urashima Keitaro, Yakuin-san," answers Keitaro respectfully as he bows to
them.
When he says that he is an Urashima, this startles them.
‘Shit,’ thinks the senior of the two officers.
Making matters worse, Keitaro tells them who his Otō-san is and leading them to
discover that he is the grandson of Urashima Hinata.
‘Shit! Shit!’ thinks the senior officer at these revelations. He now has to put
his years of experience to use to keep from getting a transfer to traffic
control.
“Come on,” says the younger officer opening the back door to the squad car. His
partner is calls the dispatcher back at the precinct to wrap up the previous
complaint.
Placing Keitaro in the backseat and his bike in the trunk, the officers give
him a ride home.
"Nakamura, let me handle this," says the senior officer to his Kōhai as they
drive off.
His junior just nods his head sheepishly.
A short time later…
Standing out in front of his house getting the mail, Keiichiro wonders why a
marked Tokyo PD patrol car would stop in front of his home. This is something
he did not ever expect to see.
When he sees them open the back door and trunk of the squad car, this gets his
attention very fast.
With a boys bicycle in hand, two officers and a dust covered Keitaro come over
to where he is standing.
Bowing nervously to the younger son of the powerful Urashima Matriarch, both
men attempt to resolve this situation in a quiet and professional manner.
The junior pulls the bike out of the trunk as the senior explains what they saw
Keitaro do to an old school building nearby to Keiichiro.
Eyeballing his son, Keiichiro listens as he sees a grimy Keitaro look downcast.
"Urashima-sama,” says the senior of the two officers, “We do not want to know
how your son can do what he did. So we will let you handle this". He knows
Keiichiro from having gone to high school with Yoko.
"Arigato, Yakuin,” says Keiichiro, “I appreciate that you brought his home
safely and promptly. My family would appreciate if you would not report this
incident". (Writer's note: Yakuin means 'police officer' in Japanese)
"As far as we are concerned, Urashima-sama. That building fell by itself,"
replies the senior of the two officers. Both bow and head back to their squad
car. Neither of the two is willing to either fill out, or even attempt to file
a report on this case. They just want to forget what they saw.
Keiichiro, trying not to laugh, stands here with is son. Both watch the
officers leave as fast as their car can go.
It does not take very long for the word to spread to certain others about this
incident, but… how do you punish and discipline the world strongest boy?
Hina Obaa-san and the rest of the family cannot give him any corporal
punishment. Any kind of physical discipline would definitely not work in his
case
Therefore, they have to be original and punish him in a different manner.
At the behest of his parents and Mariko Ōoba-san, Keitaro is 'grounded'. He has
his entire summer break plans rescinded and has to re-learn all of the basic
Urashima Katas.
Keiichiro tells him that he has to work the whole summer in his downtown bakery
and cannot go away on holiday with Haruka for the two weeks that they had
planned.
Everyone is disappointed with him for his actions, as even Kanako calls him a
baka (idiot). She has never done that before.
Haruka is upset the most and lays it on telling him not to call her until his
punishment is over. To prove her point, she pulls her cell phone out and right
in front of him hits the 'call block' on her new smart phone.
This is a big shock to a saddened Keitaro and leaves him feeling crushed.
However, a spark of hope resides within Keitaro and so he does not feel sorry
for himself. He will figure out and do whatever it takes to get back into
everyone’s good graces.
As he does in the future, Keitaro sits at the desk in his room and organizes
what he plans to do in a notebook. Laying the foundation on how he is going to
get through this situation, he absolutely refuses to mope around his room and
keeps busy. Before bed each night, Keitaro works on all of the Urashima Katas
perfecting them in just the first few days alone.
Then, doing whatever his Otō-san needs him to do in the bakery, Keitaro easily
gets a handle on the huge mixers and their bowls. He washes all of the dishes
along with the pots and pans without complaint. Usually it takes three or four
full-grown adults to handle and move the heavy equipment in here, but he
handles them like children’s toys.
After the first week, Keitaro finds that he actually enjoys working at the shop
with his Otō-san and begins to have fun.
Besides, Keiichiro enjoys watching his world's strongest son ‘sling’ bakery
equipment and heavy mixing bowls around they were a pile of plastic blocks. The
two strengthen their bonds as they work together to make things to sell to
customers.
Narumi tells her husband not to have Keitaro show off or spoil him because he
is under punishment. She knows that her husband has a bad habit of indulging
their son but, as always, he cuts his son a lot of slack and sees the
determination in Keitaro's eyes to get through this. Just because he does
something stupid, it does not mean you have to always hold that against him.
On the other side of town, Haruka feels lonely because she misses her Kei-kun
during his punishment.
“He brought it on himself though,” she whispers. Counting the days, she will
just have to wait it out until summer is over before seeing him again. In the
meantime, she is at her parents' house helping her Okā-san because she has just
gotten some very bad news.
Through the whole month of July and almost halfway into August, Keitaro
continues his punishment without a single complaint or murmur.
When no one is around, Narumi gives her son a hug. She has never been one to
stay angry at anything for too long, him especially…
“Just think next time, sweetie,” she says before kissing his forehead.
-Turning_a_corner-
It is almost time for the O-bon Festival…
Even so, Hina Obaa-san, Mariko Ōoba-san, Keiichiro and the other elders decide
to have Keitaro demonstrate the basics of their Art to them.
In a clan Hakama and Gi, Keitaro puts on an exhibition for them and does not
deviate one iota from the traditional Katas. Much of the family Arts fall
outside of the outdated traditional Japanese forms.
Afterwards, the elders all agree that he could have done no better with his
Urashima Arts demonstration if he tried.
Nevertheless, this was just part of his punishment and it all went off without
a hitch. The elders cut him some slack by believing that Keitaro has
sufficiently learned his lesson.
Hina chuckles when Keiichiro tells her and Mariko about some of Keitaro antics
along with the hard work he has been doing at the bakery.
Keitaro bows in respect to his elders.
"Hey, Kei-kun. Do not be such a shithead next time. Okay," says Mariko giving
her grandnephew a swat upside the head and then hugging him. She may be a very
tough woman, but around her Onee-san's three grandkids, she can be a pussycat.
"Hai, Ōoba-san," responds Keitaro. He smiles when she hugs him because he
enjoys making her happy.
Kanako is also happy that her Onii-chan is almost through with his punishment,
because she missed playing with him at the nearby park.
With him out of the picture, she did take an opportunity to get to know Haruka
better. One of the biggest things that strikes her is the amount of photographs
that she and her Onii-chan have taken together over the years. Kanako is not
jealous of this, and even though their relationship is cool at first, the two
warm to each other very quickly. She also has many questions for her nearest
rival.
For now though, the summer is beginning to wane…
On the last day of his punishment, Keitaro is washing out the biggest mixing
bowls in the back sink area.
It still amazes Keiichiro how his son can lift so much with very little effort
and no straining.
A 100 kilo bowl is sitting next to two 50 kilo ones that are used to mixing
large amounts of batter and candy base. Keitaro is leaning inside of a bowl
bound and determined to get it clean. He is sopping wet from head to toe with
hot water and soap flying everywhere as he continues to scrub it out.
"Kei-kun, after that bowl is clean just empty the sinks back there and run the
last few utensils through the dishwasher. After you mop the floor, you are
done. Your punishment is over," says Keiichiro taking a fresh tray of pastries
out of the oven.
Keitaro is so happy to hear this that he shows off for his father by doing a
one-arm handstand on the edge of the sink. As stated, he likes watching his son
show off, but only allows him to do so when Narumi is not around the shop.
At the same time, Kanako comes into wash area from the office and cheers for
her beloved Onii-chan.
At home…
"Hey, now that you are through, go get cleaned up. After that come back down
because I have a treat for you and Kana-chan," says Keiichiro flashing an open
box of his pastries at them.
"After I clean up and we have our treat, Kana-chan. Let us go to the park and I
will push you on a swing," says Keitaro putting the mop away in the closet.
"Yay! Onii-chan," says Kanako happily clapping her hands together.
Later, when Keitaro crawls into bed, Master Ryu says, 'you have done well my
son. You have taken the high road and did not complain once, I am very proud of
you'.
Keitaro smiles that his master is pleased with him again. He makes a vow to
Master Ryu to think next time.
-The_next_spring,_a_very_important_time_in_Keitaro's_life-
The news of how Keitaro had destroyed the crumbling school spreads throughout
the Aoyama Council like wildfire. It makes a number of the members extremely
nervous as soon as they learn more about his emerging powers and abilities.
On many weekends both through and after his punishment period, they put Keitaro
through a series of tests. A number of times, Aoyama-sama and the Council
subject him to tests that would ordinarily injure or kill a normal human being,
not in the least a twelve-year-old boy.
Aoyama-sama personally comes up with many of these trials, but only with Hina
Obaa-san and Keiichiro's permission.
Mariko Ōoba-san had predicted at the clan get together is now coming true, but
she does not feel smug about it.
Seeing that some of the things that the Council are subjecting her son to,
Narumi notices that these ‘so-called’ are beginning to take a toll on her son.
She has never seen him whine or cry about anything before in his young life,
but this is starting to change, and not for the better. For his sake, Narumi is
going to insist that these trials end, as she still wants her son to experience
being a normal teenager from here onwards. If that is at all possible…
Keiichiro echoes his wife’s sentiment on this matter as well.
On the present trip flying down to Kyoto, Haruka provides her lap as a pillow
for Keitaro to rest his head on. She is far from happy with the trials that
they have already inflicted on her beloved. He tossed and turned as they slept
together in her bed the night before making this trip. When she pulled him
close, there were tears falling from his eyes.
As is Narumi Oba-san, Haruka’s patience with the Aoyama Council is at an end.
Unity rests on the edge of a sharpened Katana…
Now convened, the full gathering of the Council, but one notable absence marks
it. Urashima Yoko is absent as she can no longer travel.
Keiichiro and Narumi sit here in the main hall with a much larger contingent of
the Urashima clan this time. Not a one of them is in an agreeable mood right
now.
The Council members, as well as Aoyama-sama, see that the Urashima are in mood
for war as their anger is very palpable.
Narumi is on the verge of declaring war herself even though her skills as a
fighter are very limited. Hina had to do a lot of mollifying to get her
daughter-in-law to agree have Keitaro come down to Kyoto one more time. It is
also very upsetting to Kanako after hearing about some of things that they have
subjected her beloved Onii-chan to since they started. Moreover, Keitaro would
only come if Haruka and Kanako could accompany him down there. With everything
that is about to happen down here, Haruka is not about to let him out of her
sight.
Mariko Oba-san promises Keiichiro that she will hold her tongue for now, unless
someone says or does something to his son. She figures that the boy has already
atoned for destroying the school and these tests 'are nothing more than
bullshit'.
Many of the most important Urashima clan members are here as witnesses, and
none of them are in a very good frame of mind. This is the first time that
anyone in the Aoyama Council can remember seeing so many clan members here to a
meeting such as this, or even of this importance, in many years.
Earlier, Hina and Mariko had put the word out to the rest of their clan.
In short order, the other families take notice and recognize that their ally
means to protect one of their own.
This action alone heightens the tension here at this conclave.
This is especially true when Daisuke Ōoji-san flies in from America just to
stand with his grandnephew. This dour and plain looking man is the financial
wizard of the clan as well as the second youngest of Hina and Mariko's
siblings. He also worships the ground that Hina walks on, so a request from her
is a formal command to him. Normally, he wears a business suit but on this
occasion dresses in the Urashima colors just like the rest of the family.
Tsuruko, wearing both the Katana and its equally ornate Wakizashi, sits with
the Urashima. She defies a ban on such weapons during Council meetings and
dares someone to take them away from her. Tsuruko wears them to protect the two
most important people in the world to her even though Keitaro has no need of
it. No one, not even her illustrious Otō-san matches Tsuruko’s skill with a
blade.
There is much sadness in the eyes of the boy she loves as he sits and holds
hands with Haruka.
Motoko is with her Okā-san as Tsubasa is watching Kanako and the younger
children.
Kanako got very angry because she could not sit and be beside her beloved Onii-
chan in his hour of need. The young girl just about threw a tantrum when the
Urashima elders would not allow her to enter the hall.
It takes Keitaro himself to calm her down and only after he promises to spend
more time with her when this trial is over.
Now we get on with it…
"Hina-sama, do you agree to this trial before a final judgment is rendered,"
says Aoyama-sama breaking the tension. The question is only a ceremonial one as
the answer is a foregone conclusion.
Hina stands and steps towards the dais and sits on the edge. Bowing her head in
exasperation, she says, "We have agreed to this last test and this will be the
last one. Afterwards, we of the Urashima along with his Okā-san will no longer
accept anything that even hints of testing the boy. It will cease, or we
Urashima will know why."
Even though Hina is the senior elder of this conclave, to hear her address the
Council like this, shocks all of the non-Urashima sitting in the room.
"Do you challenge the wisdom of what we are doing here Hina-sama?" asks Aoyama-
sama looking at her in askance.
"No, Aoyama-sama,” answers Hina evenly, “I do not challenge the wisdom of this,
just the necessity. Do I need to repeat what he did to a certain dilapidated
school building back in Tokyo not too long ago?”
Aoyama-sama has no answer for her and so he remains silent on this.
Many seated here cannot believe that she has doubts about these proceedings,
but she speaks as an Obaa-san who only loves her grandson dearly, and not as a
Council member.
With everything now said and out of the way, she looks over and nods to the
boy.
Master Ryu nods.
Keitaro, wanting to get this over with, releases Haruka's hand and jumps to his
feet.
Already, many can feel him powering up as he passes by. His anger flares up
catching may off-guard.
Determined, he walks over to the main floor of the Dojo. When he stops in the
middle, Aoyama-sama climbs down off the dais and stands next to him.
At the same time, twelve fully armed Samurai of the Aoyama clan walk into the
hall fully armed.
Haruka sees this and fears for her beloved Kei-kun. It causes her to look at
her Oji-san and ask, "Are those are real Katana?"
He nods.
She almost rushes to Keitaro's side, but Hina Obaa-san raises her hand and
stops Haruka in her tracks.
"All will be well, Haruka-chan," says a confident Hina to her and the family.
Haruka relaxes a little, but only a little and sits back down.
The clamor around the room ceases as Aoyama-sama raises his hand for quiet.
"This will be a test between one who would be 'the master' and twelve of
Shinmeiryu Dojo’s finest warriors,” says Aoyama-sama evenly, “When I raise my
hand, you will be ready. When I lower it the contest will begin".
A dozen traditionally dressed men in Aoyama Dojo Gi and Hakama, each with a
Katana in the Uwa-obi, walk in and around the edge of the floor, forming a
circle to surround Keitaro evenly spaced apart. They all look at the young boy
standing in their midst and fully understand what is required of them. All of
them know not to take Keitaro lightly as they have heard stories about his
strength and speed.
Aoyama-sama looks at Keitaro for a moment and sees no fear or nervousness in
him. This is something that he has come to expect from him.
Keitaro, not looking around, powers up. Producing vast amounts of aural energy,
he goes beyond what those present thought capable, and those who are sensitive
to Chi levels of this magnitude, blanch or pass out from his output.
The Swordsmen take their stances and ready themselves. They all feel his aura
radiating out and use their training disciplines to try and blunt its effects.
For a few of them, the energy wave almost bludgeons and distracts the more
sensitive. Although he might have a lot of potential, what can one young boy do
against twelve of the finest warriors that the Aoyama Dojo has ever produced?
Taking a deep breath, Keitaro plots how to end this so he can sit with his
Haru-chan again.
As one, the clicks of Katanas ready to be drawn is most audible.
The wave of aural pressure becomes just about unbearable and a few around the
room succumb to its effects by passing out.
"Keitaro,” says Aoyama-sama wincing noticeably, “Stand ready". Knowing that the
boy is set, he raises his right hand.
This is when Keitaro begins to glow.
Narumi sees this and is in awe of her son.
Master Ryu smiles and is quiet.
The hand starts its downward path…
Waiting for the exact moment when he should strike, Keitaro blinks out faster
than the eye can follow and twelve men drop like flies.
Dead silence follows, as well as mass astonishment…
No one in the room could follow what happened and when the shock finally wears
off, they all see Keitaro sitting and holding hands with Haruka. He has a ‘ho-
hum’ expression on his face and all she can do is stare at him.
“Fuck,” hisses Mariko getting her wits back the fastest of the others.
The aural pressure he had exerted has dissipated back to nothing as those
affected begin to stir.
Just when order is about to re-establish itself, some of the newer members’
demand that the Council take Keitaro from his family and make him a ward.
Hearing this, the Urashima form a defensive ring around Keitaro and Haruka.
Narumi, places herself in front of her son. Though the room is in chaos, he
smiles at her.
Tsuruko joins them and grabs the handle of her of her Katana.
"Damn it to hell, will everyone calm down!” says Mariko at the top of her
voice, “Sit the fuck down before we have a damn war on our hands".
The mood of all of the Urashima present has just gone into the shitter, which
is a sight you never want to see.
Kneeling down by her two grandchildren, Hina says, "Haru-chan, you and Tsuruko
take Kei-kun outside now, we need get this mess straightened out and it would
go better if he were outside".
Haruka nods, then she and Tsuruko lead Keitaro quietly out of the building.
Narumi mouths her thanks to her Shūtome-san as her eyes follow Keitaro.
Aoyama-sama tries and utterly fails to restore order as Sensei from the Dojo
come in to assist the downed Swordsmen.
Narumi looks at her husband right then and says, "Kei-kun, why did I know this
was going to happen?" She is just about ready to hit the first person who comes
near her because she is seeing red, then...
"That is it! I have just about had it with you crazy fucking people,” screams
Narumi shocking everyone, “That is my son you assholes are fighting over and I
hate every one of you lousy shit-eaters". She then turns into her husband arms
and cries.
All order is now lost and no one has a clue of what to do, until...
Picking up her purse, Hina opens it and pulls out a western style billyclub.
Stepping over to the edge of the dais, she pounds the ‘noggin-knocker’ on the
edge of the raised platform.
Quieting the room and getting everyone's attention, Hina shows a face that
speaks volumes as she folds her arms across her chest.
The racket quickly ceases.
When she sees Narumi going off as she did, Hina knows she needs to take matters
into her own hands. No one fucks with her family.
"Okay, the next person in here who opens their fucking mouth gets their damn
skull bashed in. Do you understand me, minna?" asks Hina with eyes a-blazing.
An angry Urashima Hinata is not a sight you ever want to see. (Writer's note:
minna- everyone)
Like a shelf full of bobble-head dolls, they all nod not daring to say a word.
This includes Aoyama-sama and Mariko. Narumi is still crying and Hina does not
disturb her.
"Okay then,” says Hina tapping the dais to emphasize her point, “now that I
have your attention, sit your asses down. Aoyama-sama let us call a meeting
right now to discuss this situation calmly and rationally because I have had it
with you sons-of-bitches. Remember, I have this and know how to use it". Hina
is a master of the Urashima style of fighting, and is more than willing to give
the first person who crosses her a personal demonstration.
Once they restore order, Aoyama-sama asks that everyone take a few minutes to
calm down before the discussion can continue. He too needs a few moments
himself after seeing his finest pupils go down so quickly.
Meanwhile…
Outside the Dojo, Haruka and Tsuruko lead a visibly upset Keitaro into some of
the back gardens of the estate. He thought that if he just got through this
little test without incident, people would just calm down and allow him to live
a peaceful life. He just wants to be with his Haru-chan, Kanako and his family.
"Are you going to be okay, Kei-kun?" asks Haruka as they walk along. Right now,
there is nothing in heaven or hell that could separate them because he needs
her right now.
Tsuruko just wants to be a steadying presence for them and nothing more. She
understands her place right at the moment, her time to interact with them will
come at a more appropriate moment.
For the time being, all three just walk among the shady maples and sand
gardens. In the midst of one glade, they find a stone slab bench and sit down.
"Why am I not allowed be a normal, Haru-chan? I did not ask for this," whispers
Keitaro who lays his head on Haruka's shoulder. She holds her beloved close as
he begins to cry.
Keitaro hates seeing people argue as they were doing in the Dojo and wants it
to stop. This is especially true when what they were arguing about concerned
him.
Master Ryu understands that his pupil’s adrenaline is wearing off. He waits
quietly and says nothing allowing Haruka to comfort him.
Tsuruko sits next to Haruka and places a hand on his shoulder to let him know
that she is here for him. She is still armed and will protect him in any way
she can while he is in this vulnerable state.
"Go ahead and lie down if you need to, Kei-kun," says Haruka trying to smile.
As soon as his head hits her lap, Keitaro falls into a very sound sleep.
Seeing him rest peacefully, Haruka brushes a few strands of hair away from his
face and grieves at the turmoil that must be going on in his young mind.
"Tsu-chan," says Haruka putting her head on her girlfriend's shoulder, “I wish
that everyone would just leave my Kei-kun alone”.
Tsuruko puts her arm around Haruka and kisses her forehead.
‘Her Kei-kun,’ thinks Tsuruko noticing how Haruka described the relationship
she has with the boy they both love.
Back inside the Dojo…
"I offer no apologies for anything that was said by me or my family just a few
minutes ago," says Hina. She watches with everyone else as the now semi-
conscious Samurai stumble off. She then continues, "You saw with your own eyes
what my grandson is capable of and the power that he summoned to accomplish his
task here. Some of you here would like to take him away from his family, and
from his Okā-san, to raise him as what pray tell. Some kind of symbol of a
bygone era! Bullshit, I say. And here is the funny thing, anyone in this room
have the courage to take him away from his Okā-san?"
It is a rhetorical question, but she wants to see if anyone is stupid enough to
answer it.
After a minute, someone in the back finally gets up the courage to ask her
something, "Urashima-sama, do you think that the boy, for his own sake should
at the very least continue to be overseen by the Council?"
Hina smiles because at least one person in the room can ask an intelligent
question.
"Overseen is something we Urashima, and even his Okā-san can live with, Hamza-
san,” answers Hina looking and smiling at the man who asked, “However, we will
never tolerate anyone suggesting Narumi give Keitaro to the Council against her
will again. Do you understand me? That shit is over with and it could get very
messy if anyone here ever tried used force with him. You should have seen what
Keitaro did to a large rock back on Hinata Hill a while back, but like the
school that I had mentioned, I leave that one to your imaginations".
"What do you propose then, Hina-sama?" asks a clearly bewildered Aoyama-sama.
For once, he has no solutions or answers after witnessing something
unbelievable.
Harumi, a lot calmer now, rises to her feet and stands next to Hina.
Hina steps aside to let her speak.
"I know that I am not a member of this Council, but I am still his Okā-san.
That in of itself should count for something,” says Narumi in a measured tone,
“If you want to keep an eye on him, go ahead, I do not care but as I have
always said, I will have a normal son. My husband and I will raise him. There
will be no more tests, no more trials or anything else. He is my son and not
some stone to push around on a Go board. I know how much my family cares about
us and, they have my permission to do whatever is necessary for Keitaro to be a
normal teenager. This is my final word on the matter, end of discussion". She
then promptly sits back down next to her husband.
Keiichiro hugs his wife and Mariko gives her a supportive pat on the back.
The room is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"You have all heard this for yourselves, minna,” says Hina giving Narumi’s
words a few moment to sink in, “and speaking for our whole clan, she has my
full backing".
The Urashima elders all nod in agreement at her words.
"I concur with what was just said here,” says Aoyama-sama, “as no one but his
parents’ will raise Keitaro. There will be no more tests or trials for him
either. If I may add a personal word, Hina-sama. Keitaro is always welcome to
come here if he ever wishes to train with the blade. I believe that others here
would happy to train him in their various styles as well. This would be
strictly on a voluntary basis and with your consent".
Hina looks over to Narumi, who looks at her husband.
“The choice is up to you, Narumi-chan,” he whispers in her ear.
Looking at Hina, she nods.
"Then, with this done, the matter concerning Urashima Keitaro is hereby a
closed matter. You are all dismissed," says Aoyama-sama breathing a sigh of
relief. He quickly gets off the dais to check up on his now recovering
students.
The Urashima are very pleased with the outcome. Narumi heads out to go find her
son.
“It does not look like everyone agreed with the final verdict,” whispers Mariko
to her Nee-chan.
Hina can only smile as she puts her billyclub away in her purse.
“Where did you get that from?” asks Keiichiro trying hard not to laugh.
“Never mind, my son,” says Hina looking smug. She leads the clan from the Dojo
with the sound of Mariko’s laughter.
That night, the clan celebrates with the Aoyama, the Otohime and a few other of
their closest allies.
Not everyone who sat through the contentious conclave is happy about the final
decision.
There is some grumbling from a few members, but that is all.
-The_great_miracle-
Yoko had not been well since late spring, and after a battery of tests by the
best doctors in Japan and American, learns that she has Stage 4 Pancreatic
cancer.
The news devastates Haruka.
A once active and very vital woman rapidly wastes away and becomes bedridden by
late fall, and activity around Yoko grinds to a slow crawl. Ruka does what he
can, but he feels helpless watching her slip away.
This is where it all begins…
BRRRR! BRRRR! Keiichiro’s new smart phone rings from his belt clip. Reaching
for it, he sees the number and runs his finger across the screen.
"Moshi, moshi. Keiichiro here," he says. This call he has been expecting for a
while, and rues that it has finally come.
"Hey, Kei,” says Ruka in a broken, hesitant voice. He is trying not to cry,
“Yoko-chan is doing poorly and does not have very long. Your Kaa-san is here
and is doing her best to keep her as comfortable as possible. Plus, Haruka-chan
is on her way over from her apartment near Tokyo U".
"We will be over there shortly, Ruka-kun,” says Keiichiro trying not to cry,
“Just hang in there until we get there".
He looks over at Narumi who is helping Keitaro and Kanak get ready.
She nods quietly to him.
"Thanks, Kei," says Ruka, “See you soon”. The line goes silent.
When Yoko told him of her diagnosis, it devastated Keiichiro because he could
do nothing for beloved Nee-chan. Harumi spent a lot of time with her sister-in-
law seeing to it with Hina and Ruka that everything was in order before Yoko
passed from this life.
The call this evening only confirmed that Yoko Nee-chan would soon be gone.
Across Tokyo, a heartfelt conversation is going on…
“Promise me, Kaa-san,” says Yoko rasping as she sits up in her large bed, “That
you will look after Ruka-kun and Haruka-chan for me after I am gone. I know my
only child is an adult now, but I want to know that she will be well looked
after”. She has many soft pillows propped up behind her and is as comfortable
as her husband could make her. In this state, she is only a shadow of her
former self.
"I promise that I will take care of the both, Yoko-chan,” says Hina sitting in
a chair holding her emaciated hand, “Plus, if anything happens to Ruka-kun, I
will take Haruka and adopt her as own my daughter".
"Arigato, Kaa-san. Is Kei on his way?" asks Yoko wincing slightly. The pain
meds are no longer working as they once did, because her system has built up a
tolerance to them.
With the bedroom door ajar, Hina hears the kerfuffle of guests arriving
downstairs.
Haruka was already up here spending time with her Okā-san. She could not stay
up here for very long, because memories of her vivacity caused too much
distress.
"I think he has just arrived with Narumi and the kids,” says Hina standing up
and turning her head towards the door, “You rest sweetie and I will see you
after you wake up". It is her hope that she does…
Saying this, Hina releases her hand and leans to kiss daughter's forehead.
Placing it under the warm coverlet, she smiles wanly on the way out the door.
Yoko hits the pain pump, but hardly feels any relief.
Downstairs…
"Kaa-san,” says Keiichiro after taking off his coat and shoes, “How is Yoko
Nee-chan?" He puts on some house slippers and prepares to go upstairs, but...
"She is sleeping right now, Kei-kun,” says Hina coming downstairs, “I do not
want her to be disturbed right now".
Narumi helps the children with their jackets and shoes alone because of how
distressed her husband is.
Keitaro, seeing Haruka alone on a loveseat to the right of the main staircase,
makes a straight line towards her. After sitting down, she takes him into her
arms as they hug each other. She has been crying since arriving home and needs
the comfort of his arms.
Kanako also comes over and hugs Haruka because she knows something is wrong.
She also gives one to Hina Obaa-san and Ruka Oji-san. Sitting with her Okā-san,
the adults all make small talk and try to bring some comfort to Ruka.
Ruka seems to be holding up well under the circumstances, as his beloved wife
sleeps upstairs.
The lighting in the living room is very subdued and somber, like the mood of
the people in it.
Comforting Haruka in his arms, Keitaro thinks about the wonderful Oba-san who
helped him learn how to draw. She it was, also on his eleventh birthday, who
gave him his first easel and artist pencil set as a gift. This memory thread
also spirals out to all the times that she took him, Haruka and Kanako out to
eat, to the zoo or the times they had had fun at amusement parks around Tokyo
and Yokohama.
'I do not like seeing everyone so sad,' thinks Keitaro as the grim mood begins
to affect him, 'I have to do something to help my Oba-san'.
Not wanting to sit here idly by, Keitaro wants to use one of his gifts to help
her feel better. He knows that he capable of doing things that no one else can,
so maybe he can go upstairs and help her.
'Go to her my boy,' says Master Ryu reassuringly.
Keitaro feels his mentor smiling at him.
Haruka has her arms around his neck, and head on his shoulder for comfort.
Then Keitaro whispers to her, "I have to go help Oba-san, Haru-chan. I cannot
sit here anymore and do nothing".
"What can you do, Kei-kun?" she asks whispering and lifts her head.
“Anything I can. Maybe pour some of myself into her,” he whispers back while
steeling himself.
Releasing him, Haruka believes that if anyone can help her Okā-san it is her
beloved.
Leaning towards the edge of the loveseat, he readies himself.
Pulling back, Haruka sees through the dimmed lighting his determination to do
something.
“Keep an eye on them for me, Haru,” he whispers softly so that only she can
hear him.
"I will, sweetie. Gambatte," she whispers kissing his cheek in return.
Looking over at the adults sitting on the other side of the room, he sees that
Kanako is now asleep on the couch.
A good sign for both as no one is paying attention to this corner of the large
living room.
Getting up quietly, Keitaro feels Haruka pat his arm as she keeps watch on
their elders.
Stealthily, he goes upstairs and walks up to Yoko Oba-san's bedroom door.
Having been here many times in the past, he has no difficulty in finding the
right room.
Grabbing the knob, Keitaro turns it silently before opening the door and
slipping inside. So as not to make any noise, and if need be make a quick
getaway, he leaves the bedroom door halfway open.
In the large darkened room, he sees his Oba-san sleeping peacefully thanks to a
very large dose of her pain meds.
'Do not be afraid, my son' says Master Ryu, ‘go to her’. The Dragon Sensei
gives his pupil some extra encouragement.
Keitaro almost has to leave because he is have difficulty looking at her. It
breaks his heart to see her like this as he feels that something is sorely
lacking in the vital woman who has always been very kind to him.
"For Oba-san," he whispers setting his resolve once more.
Walking over to the side of the bed that she is lying on, Keitaro prepares
himself.
Clearing his mind of all thoughts except for ones of the wonderful woman whose
sickness he wants to go away, Keitaro reaches under the blanket and takes her
hand. It feels so frail that he almost begins to cry again. However, her
delicate state right now does not discourage him as he will pour a part of
himself into her and make his Yoko Oba-san happy again.
In Yoko's unconscious state, she does not stir when Keitaro lifts her hand off
the bed.
Holding her hand firmly in both of his now, Keitaro concentrates and activates
his immeasurable aural power.
Slowly, he begins to glow.
At first, it is an ethereal pale-blue light barely visible to the naked eye. As
he thinks about her and only her, he pours some of himself into his beloved
Yoko Oba-san's hand.
A slight stir on the bed…
Ramping his Chi up to levels beyond anything that he expended at his final
trial, the glow swiftly changes from the light blue it was to a now brilliant
white light.
The intensity of it increases as well.
Lying here partially conscious now, Yoko senses that something is happening to
her.
Keitaro’s concentration does not break.
Waking up and feeling something odd, which is pain not wracking her body for
the first time in months. Yoko, at first thinks she is dreaming or that she has
died and smiles for the first time in weeks.
The aural pressure slowly increases.
Then, through her closed eyelids, she sees a brilliant white light and
understands what might be happening. In addition, she feels the powerful
opiates, which had been suppressing her pain quickly dissipate from her system.
"Kei-kun," says Yoko softly after opening her eyes.
Seeing the intense apparition that is her nephew, she now fully comprehends
what he is doing here to her.
Thinking that this expenditure of power could hurt him in some way, Yoko tries
to pull back her hand. However, he holds it in a gentle grip of steel.
She too begins to glow and feels other changes in her body as it begins to
morph. It is almost as if he is making physically changes to her on the outside
as well.
Never has Yoko felt so alive…
Downstairs, both Hina Obaa-san and Haruka feel a huge spike of Chi coming from
somewhere inside the house.
Keiichiro feels it as well, even with his partial Psi-blindness.
The sensation is more powerful than anything that the three of them have ever
experienced before.
Hina looks over to see that Haruka is sitting alone and suddenly realizes what
may be happening.
“Come on, minna,” she says rising up off the large couch.
Rushing upstairs, and turning a corner, five people see a brightly lit hallway
with the main bedroom door halfway open. Opening the door wider, everyone steps
in to see Keitaro bathed in a dazzling white light holding onto Yoko's left
hand.
Yoko is now shining just as bright as her nephew is.
The power sloughing off Keitaro makes both Hina and Haruka blanch
uncomfortably, but they endure it for the sake of what is going on here.
Keiichiro is a lot luckier though, as he sees the glowing apparition that is
son and Nee-chan.
Ruka sees what is transpiring in here and almost tries to stop Keitaro, but
Hina prevents him from interfering.
"Stop and watch, Ruka-kun," Hina commands in a quiet tone. She believes that
her grandson is healing her daughter because of how much his Oba-san means to
him.
After a few minutes, Keitaro's aura begins to flicker and both begin to fade
back to normal. Releasing Yoko's hand, he collapses in exhaustion onto her bed.
Keiichiro rushes in and catches his son before he slides to the floor.
Someone turns on a light in the room.
Cradling Keitaro in his arms, Keiichiro knows what his son has just done for
his Nee-chan.
Narumi comes over to see if her son is all right.
"Otō-san, I am very tired," says Keitaro before closing his eyes and falling
into a deep sleep.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" asks Ruka incredulously. This
event is beyond his comprehension right now. He is not totally up to speed on
the abilities of his wife’s nephew.
"I believe I know Kei-kun has just done, Ruka-kun. I will tell you when we go
back downstairs," says Hina smiling and adds, "Go to her."
Narumi looks concerned only because her son has gifts that she will never
understand. However, he is still her beloved son.
Heading out of the room, Hina is very happy and can feel a significant
difference in Yoko's aura. It is so much stronger than when she was up here
earlier.
Out in the hallway, Keiichiro asks, "Where can I put him?"
"In my old bedroom, Oji-san," says Haruka. She leads Keiichiro down the hallway
and opens the door for them. Coming over to the bed, he gently lays his son on
it.
"Will he be okay, Kei?" asks Narumi following them in.
"Yes, Narumi-chan,” he says answering his wife's concern, “He will be. Whatever
it is that he did for Yoko Nee-chan must have completely worn him out".
"I will stay with him," says Haruka now sitting on the edge of her old bed with
Keitaro. She brushes some stray hairs out of his face.
The two know that their son will be well cared for by her until he wakes up, so
they turn to leave and close the door.
"Arigato, my little Kei-kun," she whispers and kisses his cheek. Haruka hugs
the sleeping form of her beloved as tears of joy burst forth from her eyes.
Coming back out into the hallway after closing the door to Haruka's old
bedroom, Keiichiro turns the light on out here and sees his beloved Onee-san
standing there trying to shoo her stunned husband away. At first glance, she
looks healthier than he has ever seen her.
"I have not felt this good in months, Ruka-kun,” says Yoko still trying to
brush off her bewildered husband, “so there is no way in hell that I am going
to stay in that damned bed one second longer. Where is Keitaro?"
She is walking rather quickly for someone who has just gotten out of a sickbed.
"He is sleeping off the effects of what he did for you, Nee-chan. Haruka is
with him," says Keiichiro smiling brightly as he almost does not recognize her.
Yoko smiles back at her Otōto-san and says, "I owe that wonderful boy of yours
everything, Kei."
They hug each other. Then turning to Ruka, they both attempt to explain what
Keitaro had just done.
However, for some reason the shock of seeing his darling wife standing here in
front of him looking healthy and walking around is beyond his understanding
right now.
They all then head downstairs, and leave Haruka to watch over a sleeping
Keitaro.
"Right now, I am so hungry that I could eat a whole fast food franchise by
myself," says Yoko smiling. She sits at her dining room table for the first
time since she can remember.
Ruka has not heard her say anything like this in quite a while because of the
cancer.
“I could use a bite to eat too,” says Keiichiro smiling as he gives his flat
stomach a pat.
Hina and Narumi go into the Yoko’s big kitchen to cook dinner for them, as they
all need something to eat. The shock of the events upstairs is wearing off and
everyone's adrenaline rush is diminishing rapidly.
Although Ruka has seen his nephew do a myriad of seemingly impossible things
over the past few years, this totally escapes him. 'Damn it to hell, why am I
feeling so stupid right now?' he thinks asking himself while sitting at the
table next to his wife.
Kanako wakes up after hearing her elders talking rather loudly about something,
so she gets off the couch to find out why.
"Oba-san!" exclaims Kanako in surprise at the sudden turn of events. Running
over, she hugs her Yoko Oba-san and cries her own tears of joy. She knows that
her Onii-chan must have done something wonderful for Yoko Oba-chan. Kanako will
understand everything one day when she is older.
"Before we go any further with this, Kei. Just what in the hell did your son do
to my wife?" asks Ruka still not totally getting it.
Yoko smiles at the befuddled look on her husband's face.
This is when Hina and Narumi come back into the dining room with the food.
Placing it on the table, they all see Yoko ravenously dig in.
“We made plenty, so eat your fill,” says Narumi trying not to laugh as she
watches her sister-in-law shovel eat.
“This is so good,” mumbles Yoko who seems not able to move her chopsticks fast
enough.
“Whoa,” says Keiichiro losing a battle to her for a dumpling.
No one makes the obvious comments as the laughter continues through dinner
After they clean the table off and wash the dishes…
"Ruka-kun,” says Hina subsequently sipping some tea, “I do not know how he did
it, but I believe that Keitaro has healed my Yoko and restored her back to full
health”. Something else then hits her.
“Okay,” as the fog lifts in Ruka’s mind.
“Just look at her," adds Hina smiling.
They all do, and no one sees the emaciated scarecrow of a woman who was lying
in bed and dying of a horrible disease less than an hour ago. She is positively
glowing and looks like a twenty-year-old, not as a woman who is in her mid-
forties.
"Where is that small mole on your jaw line, Yoko?" asks Ruka. The gist of what
Keitaro has done for her is sinking in and he notices many other changes in her
as well.
“Are you serious,” says Yoko surprised.
'Wow, she is absolutely gorgeous,' Ruka thinks after assessing what is before
him. Normally, it does not take very long for things like this to sink into his
skull, but there is a first for everything.
Yoko puts her hand up to where the mole to be and feels nothing on the side of
her mouth. Then, she notices another huge change.
Standing up, she heads to the large first floor bathroom.
Ruka follows her in there and closes the door behind him.
The three adults laugh, as they could not help notice but notice that change as
well.
Kanako looks thoroughly confused.
Turning the lights on, Yoko steps in front of the full-length mirror and looks
at her reflection.
“Fuck,” she exclaims not recognizing the woman who is looking back at her.
“By the gods,” squeaks Ruka getting a better view of his wife in here.
Her hands do not feel numb when she bends her wrists, and the old ache in her
right shoulder is completely gone. Moving her right arm around in a circle,
Yoko finds that she now has a full range of motion in it.
"Damn," she says pulling out the front of her nightie. Yoko sees a body that
she has never seen before, not even when she was in University. In addition,
this one seems to be superior to the one she had before her illness.
Ruka stands over by the vanity and tries to keep from getting an erection.
"Where did these large tits come from, sweetie?" says Yoko loudly to her
husband before covering her mouth. Stupefying her, she smiles anyway.
He laughs.
Giving her much larger tits a good fondle, Yoko likes it so much that she opens
her nightie up to let Ruka caress them too.
Gently caressing Yoko’s newly enlarged treasures, he can only stare at how
perfectly round they are. The man softly tweaks her erect upturned nipples and
get a gasp from his wife.
Throwing her arms around his neck, Yoko gives her husband a passion-filled
French kiss. She feels hot right now, even after not being horny for such a
long time.
"Hehehe," she snickers after a few minutes of admiring the new look with her
husband.
“This is nice, I could really get used to this, Yoko-chan,” says Ruka kissing
her this time.
"That nephew of mine has not only healed me, but I think he has also re-built
me too. Shit, Ruka-kun," she says after looking into the mirror once again.
Gulping, she the thinks, 'I am going to spoil that boy so rotten that Narumi
just might kill me instead.'
"It is a good thing that Haru-chan lives close to Toudai," responds Ruka with a
gleam in his eyes.
Yoko does not blush at his innuendo and nods with a smirk of her own.
“When everyone leaves, you are going to take me upstairs and fuck me silly all
night long,” declares Yoko before straightening her nighty.
Not wanting to cause a ruckus by having sex in their own downstairs bathroom,
Yoko heads back out and re-join the others.
Ruka, for obvious reasons, has to wait and puts up with a lot of innuendo from
Keiichiro until leaves.
Yoko has had her fire re-kindled and Ruka may be in for a night that he may
never forget.
Not long after this, Haruka and Keitaro come downstairs holding hands. They
both notice a much livelier atmosphere in the dining room.
"Onii-chan," hollers Kanako running over and squeezing the stuffing out of him.
The young girl is not the only one to react like this as Yoko and Narumi hug
Keitaro as well.
Keiichiro is very proud of his son.
Ruka wants to find some way to thank him for returning his beloved wife to
perfect health, and improving her too.
‘Let him breathe, Kaa-san,” says Haruka, She and the other are laughing because
Yoko is nearly smothering the boy between her newly-enlarged boobs.
Everyone in the room laughs as the celebration continues late into the night.
"Ruka-kun, I think you should make a doctors' appointment for her,” says Hina,
“this is so we can find out the extent of what Keitaro did for her. Do not say
anything to anyone until we know everything for sure". She wants to keep this
miracle on the ‘down-low’ for right now.
"Hai, Hina-sama," says Ruka.
Later, news of what happened to Urashima Yoko spreads like wildfire throughout
the Aoyama Council.
Calls come again to separate Keitaro from his family, but Aoyama-sama quickly
quashes these by brooking no dissention. The last thing Aoyama-sama needs is to
unleash the full wrath of the Urashima on anyone in the Council.
Nevertheless, certain nefarious persons get wind of what Keitaro has done this
time. They continue to standoff in the shadows to observe for others, nothing
more.
-The_aftermath_and_the_surprise,_miracle_no._2-
First…
Yoko sees the doctor who had earlier diagnosed her with the terminal illness.
When the doctor begins to examine her, he wonders if she is the same woman that
he has known for years.
Puzzled, the doctor sits at his desk and pulls Yoko's chart up on his computer
from all of her previous visits. He is especially mystified that the scars on
her lower abdomen from the hysterectomy he performed are all gone. With further
examination, a lifetime full of scars, tears, disease and skin abnormalities
also have disappeared.
“This does not make sense,” the man mumbles while updating her chart. Looking
at the chart on the screen, and then at the beautiful woman before him in his
exam room, he has to scratch his head. A silly notion enters his mind that a
clone of Yoko has replaced the woman that he has known and treated for years.
All he can do is shrug his shoulders and give her a clean bill of health.
While sitting in the waiting area for the final verdict, something odd strikes
both Ruka and Yoko. She is receiving a lot of stares from the other patients,
both male and female.
Ruka smiles at his wife and knows why.
Yoko is now an extremely beautiful, very well endowed woman who looks quite a
bit younger than her real age. She maybe almost forty-five, but her looks could
be more like a young singing idol or a gravure model.
After the exam, Yoko waits by the front door for Ruka to get the car and bring
it around front. At the same time, a young man walks up and begins to flirt
with her. He thinks that Ruka is her Otō-san because of how young she looks.
After less than a minute, the young man asks her out on a date.
Looking at him with her eyes wide in astonishment, Yoko feels flattered by his
invitation. Wanting to let him down easily, she says, "Young man, I am old
enough to be your Kaa-san".
The man gasps in surprise and blushes when he sees her wedding band and the big
diamond with it.
"Gomen’nasai, Oba-sama," says the man bowing sheepishly to Yoko as Ruka pulls
up.
When she climbs into the car to go home, Yoko decides to keep what happened to
herself.
Ruka seems oblivious to this situation, as he knows his wife can handle herself
very well.
'Shit. A couple of the guys there were really cute too,' thinks Yoko smiling
and trying not to laugh.
Second…
Yoko goes through her all of her clothing and sees that she needs to buy a
whole new wardrobe. Everything she owns is now either way too small up top or
too big everywhere else. Grabbing Narumi to come with her, the duo hit all of
the major high-end shopping districts in Tokyo and Yokohama spending a lot of
Yen along the way. It helps when your family is fabulously wealthy and you
yourself own many successful businesses.
Ruka does not complain because it is her money and he likes the results. The
dresses and lingerie alone gets his motor humming when Yoko brings it home.
Third…
On Keitaro's birthday and right after that, Yoko spoils her now teenage nephew
extremely rotten just as she had promised to do. Not only does she take him out
to dinner to all the finest restaurants in Tokyo, but also anywhere else he
wishes to go.
Spoiling a now thirteen-year-old Keitaro rotten, Yoko buys him new clothes,
game consoles and any other bit of electronic hardware that he could want or
need.
Narumi does not want her sister-in-law to go too overboard with her son and
leave Kanako feeling left out. She has nothing to worry about though as Keitaro
shares everything with his beloved 'Imouto-chan'.
Haruka also becomes involved in spoiling him as well.
Nonetheless, he takes everything in stride.
Fourth and most surprisingly…
Yoko's libido kicked into hyperdrive shortly after Keitaro had healed her.
After everyone went home, Yoko promptly took Ruka upstairs as promised, and
without hesitation ripped his clothing off. Tossing the man on the king-size
western-style behind them, she jumped onto him and raped her husband until the
wee hours of the morning.
Not having had sex in a longtime, these two had a lot to make up for as they
went at it like minks.
“What the fuck,” he blurts when she is ready to go for a fifth time.
“I like your attitude,” responds Yoko smugly.
“SHIT!” he screams as she mounts him again.
It seems that Yoko now has no off switch and Ruka is beginning to look a bit
haggard. This gets a lot of laughs from Keiichiro.
This is how it has been for him since her restoration…
Amazingly, through all of this, her period returns after almost twenty-plus
years. This shocks both Yoko and Ruka to no end, because she had to have her
uterus and ovaries removed shortly after Haruka was born.
Going back to her doctor for a follow up visit, she surprises the poor man yet
again.
"I do not know what to say, Urashima-sama," says the doctor as Yoko and Ruka
sit in his office. This is after she underwent another battery of tests.
However, this is not the end of it by a longshot.
Her period disappeared once again just as fast as it started…
Three month later, Yoko goes for a supplemental visit to the same doctor and
almost gives the man a nervous breakdown. She wanted to find out why her period
started up again before stopping just as suddenly.
"Here, Urashima-sama. Take this into the bathroom over there,” says her doctor
shaking his head with a bewildered look on his face, “This is something that
you have to see for yourself".
Yoko cannot believe what the nurse had just handed her as she stepped into the
bathroom.
The nurse us just as surprised.
Following the instructions on the package, Yoko does what the doctor had said
to do and waits for the results.
Throughout the clinic, everyone hears…
"You have got to be fucking shitting me," she hollers at the top of her lungs
like Mariko Oba-san. This is the last thing that she would have ever expected.
Later that day in front of Haruka and the rest of the family, Yoko confesses,
"I am pregnant, about twelve weeks along".
After the initial shock wears off, she gets congratulations from everyone.
"I guess I have Keitaro to thank for this, or even blame," says Ruka to
Keiichiro laughing. This gets him a backhand upside the head from Yoko.
Around the time of the O-tsukimi Festival in early October, the miracle child
Harumi is born.
-Keitaro_is_about_to_learn_something-
Back in late January, right after his thirteenth birthday, Keitaro spends an
evening one weekend with Haruka at her apartment near Tokyo U.
However, this evening is about to be a little different.
In her bathroom, these two are washing each other before stepping in Haruka’s
bathtub to soak.
Kneeling behind a naked Keitaro, an equally nude Haruka sees that the boy she
loves is growing into a fine young man. He is taller, his voice is cracking in
a lower register and puberty is actually being very kind to him.
Noticing that there is also something different about him, Haruka smiles as she
scrubs his back.
Sitting on a stool in front of her, Keitaro blushes as he sees the woman he
loves in a different light now. He still does not have a clue about ‘that’,
yet. 
This is all about to change.
Acting very shy around her, he squeezes his knees together and covers his groin
area with both hands. Keitaro cannot bring himself to look at Haruka in the
eye.
Keitaro has no clue that Haruka has been hoping for such as what is playing
itself out here now.
For her opening salvo…
"What is wrong, Kei-kun?" asks Haruka knowingly. She wants to see for herself
what the underlying cause of his unease is and help him through with it.
For some reason he has difficulty being naked in the bathtub with her. There
are also times when Keitaro wraps himself in a towel before climbing in.
"N-n-n-nothing, Haru-chan," stammers Keitaro turning away from Haruka. He is
blushing and too embarrassed to look at her.
"Ah, is my Kei-kun growing up?" she says teasing him with a sooky voice. Haruka
"P-p-please! It is b-bad enough, Haru-chan. D-d-do not do that," replies
Keitaro bringing his chest down to his knees and still not facing her.
Her teasing just makes it worse.
"Okay, Kei-kun. Sorry about that,” says Haruka getting closer to him on her
knees, “Can I at least help you?"
She knows what is going on and does not want to scare him. This is what Haruka
has been waiting so long for with Keitaro, and knows now is not the time to
screw it up.
"Do not get mad at me, Haru-chan,” says Keitaro with tears forming in his eyes
as he finally turns to face her, “I am so sorry about this".
In a soft voice, she re-assures him that everything will be all right.
"Kei-kun, I love you," says Haruka putting her hands on his shoulders, “Let
your hands down, this is only natural for some of your age. You have nothing to
hide from me".
Getting off of the stool, Keitaro turns his back on Haruka. He is still too
bashful to face her because of this particular condition.
Standing as well, Haruka steps in very close and takes hold of his shoulders
once more.
Looking him squarely in the eye, Haruka says, "Onegai, Kei-kun. Trust me".
Something must have finally clicked for him.
"Okay, Haru-chan," he says moving his hands aside.
Looking down, Haruka sees something unexpected causing her to smile.
“Whoa,” she says unconsciously.
Smugly, Haruka takes satisfaction that the boy she loves is finally thinking of
her this way. In addition, she thinks he is rather large for someone his age.
Therefore, it begins...
"Would you like me to help you out with this, sweetie?" asks Haruka. Seeing his
obvious displeasure at being so hard, she readies herself to ‘help him’.
On the very cusp of discovering his own sexuality, she has been wanting to
teach him everything when he was ready.
Nodding, he gets a big surprise when she kisses his lips and slips him some
tongue.
'My first adult kiss,' he thinks.
When the kiss breaks, Keitaro watches as Haruka gets down on her knees in front
of him. Gently placing her left hand on his thigh and his right around his
swollen young cock, she leans in and licks the leaking head.
He gasps aloud.
Opening her mouth, Haruka slides his hard member in and begins to suck on it.
“Haru-chan!” he gasps loudly. Never has he felt anything like what his beloved
is subjecting him to at this moment.
'This is our first,' she thinks taking care of Keitaro's problem.
He can feel the cap striking the back of her throat.
No gagging sounds come from her as she continues.
"Haru-chan, I am feeling a little funny down there," cries Keitaro.
Without stopping, she looks up and sees a different look in his eyes.
Groaning, he feels his prostate convulse for the first time.
Just as she promised, Haruka brings Keitaro the relief that she promised and
almost gags for her effort.
When he starts firing off, it is a lot more than she had bargained for, as
there is a lot of force behind his first shot too. She has to swallow his seed
very quickly.
Because…
"Haru-chan," gasps Keitaro squeezing his eyes shut. Never has felt anything so
good in his young life. It does not take long for him to paint the back of her
throat as his prostate convulses eight more times.
'Damn,' she thinks, 'will he ever stop cumming?' She did not expect him to be
able to cum so much at his age.
Pulling back, she continues to swallow the large volume he puts out. Not once
does she consider spitting it out even though it is salty and very bitter.
Haruka has no regrets.
In the tub…
"Kei-kun, the next time that that happens to you and I am around, please let me
know about it. I will help you then too, okay," says Haruka holding hands with
him.
He nods.
Later in bed, Haruka holds Keitaro very close and makes this silent
declaration, 'I do not give a fuck anymore about how old Kei-kun is. He is mine
now'.
We will now jump ahead a couple of years to when Keitaro graduates from junior
high. He passes his exams with extremely high marks and gets into an exclusive
high school.
The jumps will continue right up to the time he inherits the Hinata. Some of
the events from here onwards will be time-compressed.
-Keitaro_becomes_a_man-
The summer break is about to begin and Keitaro is a very happy. He stands in
front on the main signboard at the All Boys' Academy he attends and waits for
the posting of the semester grades.
Some of his classmates are nervous, but he does not seem to be.
The Academy could post the grades electronically on the internet, but this
school has its traditions, and this is one of them. That is, having the
Headmaster and four Sensei's walk through the main Quad and pin the grade tally
sheets onto the main signboard by hand. After all, this is a school for only
the most elite and the brightest students in this part of Japan.
Keitaro stands here at the signboard with his best friend Isao. He is the son
of Mariko's butler and has excellent grades as well. None of the Academy board
members could refuse a recommendation from both Urashima Hinata and Mariko.
A cheer goes up when the staff posts the sheets.
Before the cheering or crying can begin, the Headmaster thanks everyone for
their hard work and wishes them a good summer holiday.
Isao congratulates Keitaro for being on top their first semester together.
The Urashima limo drives up and the chauffeur gets out, he bows to Keitaro and
opens the backdoor.
He wants to walk home, but from the front seat Isao's Otō-san will have none of
it. He too gets out and says, "Urashima-dono, it is unbefitting for the heir to
the most prestigious family Japan to walk anywhere like a commoner."
The two teens then look at each other and shrug as Keitaro gets inside. He
feels rather sheepish in the back of the limo, as his best friend goes to sit
up in front to sit with his Otō-san and Onii-san. With all of the room that is
in the back of the limo, he would not mind sharing a ride with one of them even
though there is ample room up front for three people.
Keitaro stews as the chauffeur takes him home.
Soon afterwards…  
All of the Urashima attend Haruka's Tokyo U graduation ceremony. She received
her Bachelor's Degree in Business, for which she had worked very hard. Haruka
had earlier applied to and the University accepted her into their prestigious
graduate school. Starting in a couple of weeks, she will work towards her MBA,
as it is her wish to work for her Okā-san's rapidly expanding company.
The oldest of Hina Obaa-san's grandchildren will soon learn that Hina has other
plans for her.
For now, Haruka and Keitaro are driving away from the Tokyo environs in her
brand new car for their summer holiday. She bought it so they can take off
together in style whenever they want to go out on a date or away for a weekend.
As they head off to their destination, he has no clue about the major life-
changing event that Haruka has planned for him.
Near Mt. Fuji, a close friend of the Urashima has a beautiful resort with a
private onsen outside each room. Haruka made reservations for them here so they
could have a romantic two-week stay under the faithful watch of the sacred
mountain.
As they pull up, Keitaro is awestruck by the view of the place.
"This is so beautiful, Haru-chan," says Keitaro.
Someone greets them at the entrance and an assistant carries their luggage
inside. Looking at the style of the building, he sees that the owners have
recently had the place restored to its former glory. Hina Obaa-san had a huge
hand in financing the work done here.
Thanks to Yoko Oba-san, Keitaro has learned to appreciate traditional
architecture.
"I thought you would like this Ryokan, Kei-kun. My Okā-san has told me that she
and Otō-san come here quite a lot. So I want us to start making our own
memories together here as well," says Haruka. (Writer's note: Ryokan is a
Japanese style inn)
After receiving an escort to their room by the Teishu, the two decide to go for
a walk. (Writer's note: Teishu is Japanese for Innkeeper)
It is a warm clear day outside, so outside they hold hands along a trail
adjacent to the main building.
In a small out-the-way glen, they stop under a large maple tree and lean
against it. Keitaro takes Haruka by the waist and pulls her in close.
"Are we going to start taking the lead now, Kei-kun?" asks Haruka teasing him.
With him being taller now, she puts her arms around his neck and smiles.
"I think I should, Haru-chan," answers Keitaro smiling back at her, “You have
taught just about everything that I need to make you happy".
They kiss. At first, it is gentle then it leads to some deep and passionate
French kissing.
‘Tonight, he is so mine,’ Haruka thinks feeling his manhood up rubbing against
her. This makes her very wet.
Wanting him to have plenty saved up for later, Haruka foregoes giving him head.
Later, dressed in Yukatas, they have a romantic dinner together in their room.
Sitting close to him, they romantically feeds and in between bites of their
delicious dinner, act as lovers have down through the ages.
After dinner, our couple decides to go for a soak in their own private onsen.
Outside the traditional sliding door, Haruka washes herself because Keitaro
needs to use the bathroom. Slipping naked into the warm water, she waits
patiently for him.
While he is absent, Haruka thinks about what she has planned for him later
tonight. ‘Wait until he sees what I bought just for this occasion,’ she thinks
turning a brighter red. The water is plenty warm, but that is not the cause of
her blush. The anticipation of consummating another milestone in their lives
together as becomes one with her beloved and give him her gift is almost too
much for her.
Breaking away from her reverie, she sees a naked Keitaro step into the water
and wade over to her. He no longer blushes at the sight of Haruka’s naked
body. 
Slipping into his arms, she begins to kiss him in earnest with Fujiyama in the
background to watch them.
Moaning softly, she feels him touch her and the sensations give Haruka the
shivers. 
Tweaking and tugging gently at her nipples, Keitaro plays with his lover’s
large magnificent treasures.
"I love you, Haru-chan. You are so beautiful," says Keitaro when the kiss
breaks.
She stops kissing him for a moment. Her arms are around his neck and she looks
into his eyes.
"I love you too, sweetie. I love you so very much," she replies and then kisses
him again.
Wanting to escalate things, Haruka reaches down and grabs his cock under the
water. In the subsequent two years, he has grown very large and this pleases
her very much.
Instead of having him stand before her as she always has him do, Haruka says,
“I have something else very special planned this evening”.
Keitaro instantly gets harder, which causes her to laugh.
Later that evening…
Seeing a large doublewide futon laid out for them in their room is nothing new
for him. Keitaro and Haruka have been sleeping together since he was two and
strangely enough, the implications of this one bed seems somehow different to
him.
Keitaro does not wear pajamas to bed anymore, especially when he is with
Haruka. Lately, she has also developed a habit of relieving him of his 'morning
wood'.
Sitting on the futon in a loose tee shirt and boxer shorts, he waits.
For some reason it is taking her longer than usual. Most of the time she just
puts on a short clingy slip nightie and crawls right in, but who knows what is
on her mind right now. Before going to sleep, they would kiss and pet each for
a while after the light was off. Then she would snuggle into him and they would
fall asleep in each other's arms.
The bathroom door opens, Haruka steps out dressed like every teenage boys'
fantasy, and 'wet dream' come to life.
Master Ryu begins to laugh in the back of his mind.
"Whoa," he says staring her. He is so awestruck by her that he get the most
painful erection of his young life.
Standing there, Haruka is all in white. A lacy bodice with garters surrounds
her slender waist and lace stockings attached that caresses both of her
gorgeous legs. The rest there is no imagination for…
She says in a sultry tone, “I have some platform spikes to go with this, but
you can see those some other time”.
He cannot take his eyes off her as she saunters towards him.
Haruka smiles at his reaction to her ensemble and the look on his face is just
priceless. The thing poking itself out to salute at her indicates strongly that
she too will be in for the evening of her life. 
Keitaro still cannot move.
Straddling him, she stands with her legs spread across his hips and looks down
into his eyes. She sees love, lust and anticipation all rolled up together in
his gaze.
"Kei-kun my love, tonight is our night,” she announces confidently, “I have
been looking forward to this evening for a long time. It is time for me to give
my gift to you and for me to accept yours. I love you my darling with all my
heart and always have".
Although writing and rehearsing this little speech herself, Haruka was never
nervous when she memorized it. She could only think of him.
Squatting down over him, Haruka grabs his big cock and places the purple head
on her virgin nether lips. She then continues, "This is my gift to you, Kei-kun
as I take your first time too."
Keitaro nods and lays back. He wants her and wants her badly, but he did not
think that she would take him until he was a few years older.
Coming out of his musings and back to reality, he feels the spongy tip of his
hard cock spread the lips to her virginal well.
Then…
"I love you, my Kei-kun," says Haruka wincing as she pushes down. There is a
single thin line of crimson as his cock tears away her hymen. When her barrier
breaks, she screams in both pain and pleasure, as they become one.
His body is now hers.
They need no more words as they consummate their love for one another.
Sensing some distress in his beloved Haru-chan, Keitaro reaches out with
his Chi and eases the pain of giving him her virginity.
Haruka feels his powerful aura helping her through his shaft as the pain
quickly dissipates. The use of his aura also makes her feel even hotter.
She smiles.
Getting the measure of what to do now, Keitaro slowly pushes up into Haruka as
he begins to make love to her in return.
Their eyes join, their bodies become a single entity at this moment as it
throbs and pulsates with life. Haruka has never wanted anything more than the
preciousness of what she is sharing with Keitaro.
The speed and intensity of their passion grows as his aura caresses hers.
She feels wanted and loved joined together with him in their combined struggle
to have a mutual release.
She cries out…
He growls for the first time…
"Kei-kun, do it inside me," screams Haruka. Their hands clasp and fingers
interlace. Her back arches and they both cry out in harmony.
Haruka feels his hot semen fill her womb as he releases each one of his
powerful jets.
‘So much,’ she thinks.
Squirting heavily at the first convulsion of his prostate, Haruka drenches the
front of his boxers.
Eleven times, she feels his seed as it fires up into her. She smiles at the
future implications, but we will just leave that right here…
Lying on his back, Keitaro cannot move and whimpers during his massive first
internal orgasm.
Collapsing on his chest, she squirts again even harder.
After such a wonderful first time, she is sweating and out of breath.
“Are you okay, Haru-chan?” asks Keitaro putting his arms around her waist. He
still does not comprehend this yet.
Enjoying the afterglow with him, Haruka lies on top of Keitaro with his cock
still buried deep within and answers, “I feels wonderful, sweetie. Would you
like to go again?” There is no pain or discomfort after he used an ability with
her.
Without another word, Keitaro rolls his lover over still balls deep within her
pussy.
Haruka then puts her legs around him as he gently begins to make love to her.
Kissing romantically for a while, they then scream together and climax once
more.
Later, as she snuggles in his arms, Haruka is the happiest that she has ever
been. The evening that she had planned the last six months for went beyond all
of her expectations.
Holding his lover very close, Keitaro whispers, "I love you very much, Haru-
chan. This has been the best evening in my life".
Feeling a bit naughty before drifting off, she replies with, “This is only the
beginning, sweetie”.
Not truly understanding her innuendo, Keitaro falls asleep in ignorant bliss.
Master Ryu laughs in the background of his pupil’s mind…
After this trip, Haruka gets her inheritance from Hina Obaa-san, and it is
something that she has wanted since she was a little girl. It is the Hinata Tea
Shoppe at the bottom of Hinata Hill. Continuing her education in the meantime,
she has the place gutted, modernized and has a large apartment put in upstairs.
Yoko tells her that they can still work together and that they can do it
online.
This makes Haruka happy because she is a hard worker like her Okā-san.
-Three_years_later-
As an old saying goes, ‘those who have never had sex, obsess over it. Those who
have, just smile’.
Throughout Keitaro’s high school experience, his classmates always wondered why
he never talked about girls, dating or collecting porn. During all three of the
summer breaks, different schoolmates of his reported seeing him with a very
beautiful older Tokyo grad student and it angered them to no ends.
On the day of their Graduation Ceremony, not only does Keitaro finish number
one in the class, he also comes into the auditorium with that same beautiful
grad student on his arm.
With Keitaro beside Haruka and his family, is his best friend and fellow
student Isao. He is the youngest son of the Urashima Hina and Mariko’s butler.
Isao comes in with Keitaro and has to stifle his laughter. His Otō-san is also
with them and has always said that laughing aloud would look undignified for a
member of such a prestigious household. Be that as it may…
However, Keitaro has had three years' worth of making memories with Haruka and
all they have had is just porno magazines and sweaty palms. Not only does
Haruka show up, Yoko Oba-san does too and both women are wearing little black
dresses.
To make things worse for some of his classmates, they see Haruka French kissing
him when they are out of the sight of the family.
Subsequently, nothing prepares him for what she has cooked up for him later
that evening…
The family throws Keitaro a celebratory dinner at the most expensive restaurant
in Tokyo.
The Urashima invite Isao and his family to join them. Being one who holds very
high standards for himself, his station and his family, the butler almost
refuses until Mariko Ōoba-san personally intervenes. Not even he is willing to
undergo a verbal castigation from her.
When dinner is over and Haruka is alone with Keitaro, she takes him to a
reserved posh hotel suite. Master Ryu was the only witness to what the two did
in that room that night. Next morning, she walked a little funny and had a
satisfied smirk on her face.
Earlier in the year, he passed his University entrance exam on the first try.
To celebrate, Haruka took him out on a very romantic date in downtown Tokyo and
had her way with him on that particular evening as well.
Keitaro texted Isao to congratulate him when he passed his two-day exam as
well.
This all happened a few days after his Otō-san threw him a huge party and
invited much of the family over to celebrate.
However, Kanako hits puberty and her feelings for her Onii-chan have greatly
intensified.
-A_year_and_a_half_later,_Keitaro's_20th_birthday-
In later years, the subject of Haruka taking Keitaro to a resort down in
Hiroshima on his twentieth birthday will become the source of a ‘running joke’
between them. The fact that he is very aggressive towards her now when it comes
to their sex life does nothing to dissuade her from trying new things with him.
Haruka has never complained once about his sexual prowess and actually
encourages him to take her multiple times when they are in bed.
Thankful to be on the 'pill', she knows that they would go through Japan's
supply of store-bought condoms in a very short time if this were not the
case. She does not want him to use those things anyway. 
The smile on their faces early the next morning is a testament to what they did
the night before.
Over the past five years, Haruka and Keitaro have taken great pains to keep
their affair from both the family and the Aoyama Council. This subject is a
ticklish one to the Urashima and for good reason…
Being that they are the only ones' staying at another exclusive and very
expensive resort, Keitaro decides that right then that he wants to pleasure
Haruka as much as he can for the two weeks they are there.
Haruka cannot fully describe the ecstasy she experienced as her lover decided
to add a third orifice when they have sex. Taking his big cock up her ass for
the first time had Haruka almost over the edge. She had never cummed so hard,
or so much, in her life.
With an almost inexhaustible supply of stamina, Keitaro takes and wears out all
three of her holes.
'Thank the Kami for this onsen,' thinks Haruka after each time allowing the
warm waters to soothe her violated sphincter. Laughing to herself, she smiles
as her lover holds her close.
Thoroughly exhausted from sharing herself with him so much on this trip, she
regrets none of things that he has done to her.
“How about you fix me down below?” she asks not giving him a choice in the
matter.
“I guess I got a little carried away,” responds Keitaro looking a bit sheepish.
“A little…,” she adds sarcastically giving him a dubious look.
Firing up his Chi, Keitaro insert a finger into her despoiled anus. Allowing
his aural energy to flow into his beloved, he watches as Haruka nearly has
another orgasm.
As he snickers, she growls, “Asshole!”
She has always been thankful for his special abilities.
Occasionally, Keitaro uses the memory of this time to tease her when he is
feeling silly.
Neither it seems knew that the owner and her three daughters watched them go at
it during their stay. In the subsequent three years since, Keitaro has received
many invitations to come down again and stay for free, but only if he leaves
Haruka home. The four were extremely beautiful too.
On a side note, the next spring Hina Obaa-san decides to give Keitaro the
Hinata as his inheritance. This is something he has always wanted.
He knows the reason why there are six female residents living there now.
Nevertheless, there are also additional bonuses for living out here as well.
-A_year_and_a_half_later,_the_most_precious_moment_for_Haruka-
Walking out of a high-end jewelry store in downtown Tokyo, Keitaro is euphoric
by what he has just purchased. He understands the ramifications of the small
package in his hands and does not care about them. Only one thing prevents him
from total elation…
Haruka is more than happy to let him plan their summer holiday this year. She
looks forward to seeing what he has in store for them.
Now twenty, Keitaro is a fully licensed driver and drives her car to their
destination. He could easily afford any car in the world, but Keitaro enjoys
using public transportation.
After passing the outskirts of the Tokyo city limits, they drive in a northerly
direction towards a more mountainous part of the central Honshu.
After about an hour, Haruka recognizes where they are going as soon as he turns
onto a narrow road. Her parents come up here all the time.
“Why did you bring me up here, Kei-kun?” she asks bewildered, “You do know that
this is a honeymoon resort".
"Because I love you Haru-chan, and have something very special planned for
you," answers Keitaro enigmatically. He is not forthcoming with any hints.
Coming up to the main desk just inside the main door, the man behind the
counter sees Keitaro sign the register book.
"Konnichiwa, Urashima-sama,” says the Teishu bowing, “Everything is ready just
as you requested."
Haruka looks at him and wonders what he is up to now.
The Teishu leads them to their suite and opens the door for them.
Keitaro smiles as he and Haruka step in and look around.
"The main room is ready for you when you come downstairs, Urashima-sama,”
announces the Teishu, “Also, the special item that you had delivered here is
where you wanted me to put it." The man finishes, bows to them smiling before
leaving the suite and closing the doors behind him.
She is in awe that her lover has picked out such a magnificent place for them
to spend their time together.
'Why here of all places?' Haruka silently asks herself still not understanding
his motive.
She turns around and gets her answer.
On one knee, Keitaro holds an open jewelry box with the most beautiful diamond
ring that she has ever seen.
A tear forms in her eye when she hears him say, "Haru-chan, you are the love of
my life and have been with me since the day I was born. I know we cannot get
permission to be married from our family right now. But, will you still consent
to be with me forever."
Thrilled beyond words at his proposal, she cries as her hands clasp together.
Smiling through her free-flowing tears, Haruka throws herself at him and hugs
her beloved very tight. She then says, "Yes, my darling Kei-kun. A million
times yes".
This is one time that Keitaro is happy with his tremendous strength.
When some decorum restores itself, she sits his knee so he can slip the ring on
her left hand.
They kiss.
"If I am not mistaken, there should be a little something special hanging for
you in the other room," says Keitaro after the kiss breaks.
Standing together with him smiling, he turns them slightly and points the way
with his eyes.
Haruka steps into the outer waiting room and turns on a light before opening
the door to a spacious boudoir. What she sees hanging there astounds her.
"Kei-kun, you wonderful marvelous man. I love you so much," she says crying
joyful right now.
Closing the door, she walks over and prepares herself.
He readies himself as well.
Half an hour later…
Smiling, Keitaro waits in the main room for his beloved Haruka. It is here that
he plans for the two of them to make their best memory yet.
By a large picture window that looks out onto a magnificent view of the local
hills, there are two cushions on the floor facing each other along with a
backdrop against the back wall. Set up in front of the backdrop is a
professional camera on a tripod and photography lights. Other lights surround
the spot where pictures are normally shot.
In the same window, Keitaro uses the partial reflection to adjust the tie on
his tuxedo. (Very expensive, and like Haruka’s dress, not rented)
Now ready, Keitaro looks outside the window and calmly watches a crane fly by.
‘Why am I not nervous?’ he thinks asking himself. This puzzles him, but only a
little.
Master Ryu laughs.
Hearing footsteps and the rustle of clothing, he then turns and sees the most
breathtakingly beautiful sight that he has ever seen. That is, Haruka standing
there in the doorway of the room wearing a white western-style wedding dress.
He had an interesting time getting her sizes for the tailor. The dress is an
original and cost him quite a lot.
Holding a small bouquet of flowers, she brings a tear to his eye. ‘Worth every
Yen,’ he thinks as this vision of loveliness ingrains itself permanently into
his mind, heart and soul.
Smiling at Keitaro standing there in his tuxedo, Haruka joyously walks over to
the man she loves.
Kneeling before each other with interlaced fingers, these two lovers exchange
unrehearsed vows.
Her happiness is beyond anything that she could ever describe in a million
lifetimes. Haruka sees him pull out another small box that he opens and when he
slips the gold band on her finger, she then feels like a real bride.
Taking the other ring, she places it on his left ring finger.
He kisses his 'bride'.
Haruka gets an added surprise when a photographer comes in and takes a few
formal portraits of them as an official couple.
In one of the photographs, Keitaro holds her hand out with the ring on it.
This is not the end of it though, either here or in their future…
Heading back to their suite, Keitaro picks Haruka up in his arms bridal-style
and carries her over the threshold.
Deciding to forego dinner until later, these two instead decide to indulge
themselves in a lot of good old-fashioned sex.
Haruka displays the photo openly on her headboard and keeps their rings
together in her jewelry box.
Just a year later Keitaro gets his undergrad degree and begins his Master's
program.
More abilities manifest themselves as Kanako begins to long for her Onii-chan.
Now onto the rest of our story…
End_of_Chapter
***** -Part 1: Establishing Dominance- Chapter 3: Keitaro's Plans- *****
-An_early_evening_in_late_June-
Keitaro heads down to the Tea Shoppe to have dinner with his beloved Haruka
this evening. He just had an earful from a certain brunette.
Quietly, he heads out the kitchen door taking the shorter route down to
Haruka’s place. Ignoring his surrounding, Keitaro’s mind is awhirl right now.
Feeling a bit down after blocking Naru's latest attempt to put him into lower
earth orbit, Keitaro stops by the back door to Haruka’s place to assess things.
No matter how hard he tries not to antagonize her, the brunette keeps taking
swings at him when she is upset about something. Today was no exception,
especially since her monthly has just stopped.
Not only that, she has a thing about calling him a hentai by saying that he
does ecchi things around the Hinata all the time.
Keitaro smiles when she said this to him after remembering all of the things
that he and Haruka have done up here when the residents were out. His lover
cringes slightly at the memories because of what they did in the onsen and his
bedroom on those occasions. The pervert thing is all a matter of personal
conjecture…
He cracks another slight smile.
In addition, and if that was not bad enough, she constantly ridicules his
manhood and intelligence. When she ridiculed his manhood, she would be a lot
less bitchy if she were ever to undo his zipper and pull his pants down.
Naru thinks that he is weak because he does not raise his voice to her or send
her home to her family. If she knew the truth, it would quickly change her
attitude. 
For one thing, Naru is very ignorant about many things about Keitaro, and you
can hardly call him a virgin.
As for his intelligence, he passed the difficult Tokyo University entrance exam
on his first attempt with a perfect score and is now in their Science
Departments Master's Degree program. That in of itself is hard to do…
It would also shock the fiery brunette to find out that he spends a good amount
of time kibitzing with top experts from Japan, Asia and the Western Hemisphere
about the fields of mathematical theories, archaeology, architecture and
paleontology. It seems having an eidetic memory is a good thing.
Stupid people do not accomplish this now, do they?
Motoko on the other hand on the other hand, is a much different story. She
willfully ignores him and he does not understand why. They have known each
other since she was born.
She knows what he is capable of since she can read his powerful aura with her
own well-honed abilities. Her capabilities with a Katana and the Martial Arts
are quite formidable in of themselves as well.
Not long ago, in a fit of pique, she challenged Keitaro to a Bokken duel with
up on the roof deck. When he said no, she unwittingly called him a coward.
Motoko then was about to strike at him with a powerful Aoyama technique, but
using one of his innate abilities, Keitaro stunned her by swiftly taking the
wooden sword out of her hands.
Without a word, Keitaro took the weapon back into the manse and left Motoko
standing there feeling very stupid. A tear fell from her eye as he went back
inside. 
Nevertheless, she knew better than to challenge or insult him in the first
place.
Never wanting to hurt her, and as with Naru, there is an underlying cause to
her problems.
Master Ryu shrugs, as even he has no answers for his pupil.
Since coming into possession of the Hinata, Keitaro has sat and outlined a plan
that he hopes will help him become closer to all who live under his roof. Not
just his two most difficult charges.
Planning his scheme was the easiest part…
Steeling himself for what he has to disclose to the woman he loves, Keitaro
takes a deep breath and heads into the backdoor of his beloved’s Tea Shoppe.
Meanwhile, a little earlier…
Haruka closes the Tea Shoppe after another long and very profitable day. She
locks the front door and an employee places a small block the track to bar it
from sliding open.
Wearing a huge smile on her face, she knows what tonight means. It is her only
hope that she has enough stamina to last through it all. ‘I sure as hell am
going to need it,’ she thinks laughing to herself.
Haruka’s employees wonder where the smirk on her face just came from as the
gather by the backdoor. Her floor manager already knows about Monday's schedule
changes since they are not open tomorrow.
"Oyasumi nasai," they all say after bowing to each other as the Shoppe
employees leave to enjoy their day off. The gab and gossip begins as the group
collectively heads down the steps and across the tracks to the nearest bar.
Haruka takes a minute to turn off all the neon signs. She had them installed
about a year ago.
Stepping into her now deserted kitchen, Haruka walks through her pantry and
walk-in cooler to gather the necessary ingredients for tonight's dinner with
her beloved.
Turning on her tablet, it quickly shows the menu on the main screen. Pressing
an icon, it pulls up the page with tonight’s menu on it allowing to goes over
the recipes. Haruka takes her cooking very seriously and has taken many courses
over the years. There is a special man who loves her cooking, so whatever she
spent on courses, was Yen well spent.
Pulling down a large fresh-washed and well-seasoned copper wok, Haruka sets it
on her large kitchen stove. Unlike most Japanese eateries, Haruka has western-
style appliances in her place as well as a large restaurant counters, a deep
triple sink and an automatic commercial dishwashing machine.
“This here makes life so much simpler for me,” she says walking over and
putting her tablet on the counter.
Haruka loves cooking for Keitaro.
Whistling a tune while she works, Haruka cuts the veggies and preps skewered
meat by marinating in a special teriyaki sauce of her own creation. Picking up
a few tips from the petite chef up on the Hill has only helped her as well.
One thing that she loves about cooking for him is the fact that Keitaro is not
a fussy eater. He will eat anything she sets on the table. Especially her fish
and chicken dishes.
After washing her hands from handling the meat, she measures out the proper
amount rice and places the cup next to the cooker.
Next, she checks the miso ingredients. Haruka chops the seaweed and cubes the
tofu. 'He loves my miso too,' thinks Haruka happily getting the spring onions
ready.
She then places the marinating meat in the cooler for when Keitaro gets here.
To top everything off, Haruka pulls out her best small porcelain plates and
sets them on the counter next to the stove.
"Shit! I had better hurry, says Haruka looking at her watch, “My Kei-kun is
going be here soon". One of the many presents that she received from Keitaro
back on March 14, which is ‘White Day’ here in Japan. On her birthday at the
beginning of the month, he spoiled her much worse than that.
After doing a cursory walk-through of her shop, she goes through the kitchen
and looks out the back door for a moment.
Satisfied that she has her menu ready and the food all prepped, Haruka doffs
her work apron and runs upstairs to her large apartment.
In her large bedroom, Haruka strips, runs into her good-sized bathroom and
quickly hops into her equally large shower. Turning on the multi-directional
sprayer, she uses a body wash he loves to cleanse her work-a-day world away.
The cascading water caresses her body as she runs her hands down her large
breasts and slender waist. She wishes Keitaro were here to share this moment
with her and thinks about some of the showers here that the two have shared
together in the past.
He would take her and...
"Son-of-a-bitch!" screams Haruka realizing what she was about to do.
A deep breath…
Taking a moment to restore her clarity, Haruka shakes her head not wanting to
waste any of her limited time masturbating in here. His large penis ramming
itself inside of her pussy would be much better than any finger, dildo or
electronic device that she possesses.
To Haruka, there is nothing worse than being in a horny mood and wanting to
‘get laid’ when Keitaro is not here.
Needing to hurry and finish up, she turns off the shower and gets out of a
refreshing shower. Grabbing a large towel, she dries off her luscious body.
Blow-drying her shoulder length hair, she combs it out and makes it look
lustrous.
Looking inside of her medicine cabinet for some reason, she sees a certain oval
box on the bottom shelf that has been part of her life for the past eight plus
years. Coming to the forefront of her mind, an idea forms that lately had been
only lingering in the background. No regrets mind you, just nature giving her a
reminder of something else she wants badly. Haruka’s monthly has just ended and
a new opportunity…
‘What made me think of that?’ she asks herself without speaking the words.
Closing the cabinet door, she shakes her head as she takes one last look into
the mirror.
Unlike her beloved, compartmentalizing important thoughts for later a later
time is a bit more mentally strenuous… but somehow she manages to put it away.
For now…
Stepping naked back into her bedroom, she saunters over to her large closet and
opens it. Stepping in, Haruka searches for the perfect outfit to wear this
evening.
Perusing through different items hanging here in front of her, she wants
something a little sexy but also sophisticated at the same time. Keitaro said
that he wanted to discuss some very important matters with her, so there will
be no ‘slut’ look this evening. She tries not to giggle.
Pushing an extremely short cocktail dress aside (too sexy), Haruka sees a
beautiful sheer white silk blouse that is just daring enough to attract his eye
and opaque enough to keep it a mystery of what she has on underneath.
‘This will pop his clutch and get his motor revving,’ she thinks laughing out
loud, ‘and it will keep his eyes on me until later’.
She has little trouble doing that as it is…
Next, she smiles at a hot looking mid-thigh length skirt with a slight slit up
both sides she wore on a date with him last Valentine’s Day, and pulls it out.
‘He always says that it makes my ass look nice,’ she think again as her pussy
dampens.
“I had better stop with the dirty thoughts for now,” says Haruka on the brink.
Recovering her focus for the umpteenth time since she has been standing here,
Haruka pulls out a new very short, extremely thin silk Yukata for later on when
they are outside together on her ‘perch’.
Tonight, Haruka hopes for a clear view across both Sagami and Tokyo Bay.
'First however, I need the proper foundation to make all of this work,' thinks
Haruka trying to curb her rising heat. 
Keitaro likes to play with her big tits when they make out. 
Opening the intimates' drawer in the top of her dresser, Haruka sees the
sheerest white lace bra that she owns and puts it on.
'Just in case,' she thinks while doing up the single clasp in front.
In a drawer right underneath, she pulls out a tiny leopard print string bikini
and ties it onto her slender hips.
Turning side-to-side in front of the closet’s full-length mirror, she smiles
while looking at her flawless body.
Finished dressing, she steps before the mirror again to see the finished
product.
“I am definitely going to get laid tonight,” says Haruka feeling smug now as
she steps out and closes her closet door.
Then…
Taking a moment before she heads back down, Haruka gazes at a very special
gilded-frame portrait on her headboard. It was from a very special and happy
time for her just two years before…
Smiling brightly, this happy memory fades as another one begins. Getting back
to the matter-at-hand, she puts on her best slippers and happily goes back
downstairs.
As an aside, a jewelry box sits next to the frame with some very special tokens
to show just how special her relationship with Keitaro is.
That is for another time…
-Starting_everything_off_with_a_good_meal-
Sitting at the kitchen table now, Haruka waits for Keitaro to arrive and ‘wakes
up’ her tablet. As do the residents of the Hinata, she is thankful that Kaolla
Su included the Tea Shoppe in the Hinata Hill Wi-Fi hotspot.
Texting Tsuruko down in Kyoto, her best friend bombards her with many questions
about Keitaro as well as her Imouto. More of them concern Keitaro though…
Haruka laughs and quickly tries to reply because the tall Samurai texts very
rapidly.
Shaking her head in disbelief, she calmly sits and reads the latest gossip from
Kyoto. Then, Haruka asks when her divorce decree comes due.
‘Asshole never knew I got there first,’ thinks Haruka feeling smug. She had no
qualms about carrying out her best friend’s wish the night before her wedding.
The backdoor opens…
Haruka looks up to see a pre-occupied Keitaro enter the kitchen and sit down.
Needing to go, Haruka says goodbye to Tsuruko, but not before reading: *Tell me
how everything went. I mean everything…*
‘How did she know?’ she thinks smirking before changing gears.
Setting her tablet down, she knows something is wrong because his usual
greeting is missing. She has seen this look on his face once too often lately.
"What is wrong, sweetie?" asks Haruka reaching across the table for his hands.
Looking at him intently, she takes his hands and tilts her head slightly to get
his attention.
"Uh... Oh sorry, Haru-chan,” replies Keitaro looking up, “I did not mean to
ignore you. It is just that there is a lot on my mind right now and for some
reason I am having trouble storing it away".
He reaches over and squeezes her hands gently before they interlace fingers.
"Naru and Motoko problems again, Kei-kun?" asks Haruka knowing that those two
are just a minor part of his woes. Nevertheless, she hated it when he asked her
not to get involved with this situation. It pisses her off to no end that Naru
and Motoko treat him so rudely. Especially when he is heir to the most powerful
family in Japan, and her lover.
Deflecting slightly, Keitaro sighs and replies with, "That, along with Grad
school, the coming rebuild of the Hinata this summer, Seta-Sensei wanting me to
head up the inventory team and then to top it off there is the clan business.
Haru-chan, I have a full plate and being the Urashima heir makes me nuts
sometimes". It helps that Sarah, Seta-Sensei's adopted daughter, has been
sending him regular updates from Pararakelse letting him know what the field
team will send to the University beforehand. The now twelve-year old girl has
developed quite a little crush on him, so she at least is making things a bit
easier for Keitaro.
"Well, Kei-kun,” says a smiling Haruka wanting to change the atmosphere, “With
any luck, my company and some good food in your belly should brighten up your
evening".
He nods.
Letting go of his hands, she stands and while heading to the stove adds, "I
know I am not as good of a cook as Shinobu-chan is, but no one has died from
eating my food yet." She knows deep down for all of his great strength and many
amazing abilities, he is still very much a man. Her man, which is why she loves
him so much.
She puts on an apron so as not to get anything on her blouse or skirt.
"Haru-chan, what are you talking about, you are a great cook,” says Keitaro
looking at the back of her skirt, “Shit, it is because I ate your healthy meals
as a kid that I am now five-plus centimeters taller than Motoko is, so there".
Looking at her gorgeous backside sway while she begins cooking, Keitaro has to
‘will’ himself not to go over and delay dinner any.
“True,” Haruka responds knowing where his eyes are.
'Her ass should be illegal,' he adds to himself with a lust-filled smile loving
how great the back of her legs look with that mini skirt on...
Haruka does nothing to discourage him from doing what he is doing.
Taking a deep breath to control his rapidly growing hard-on, Keitaro hears her
snicker since she can feel him manipulate his Chi.
“You are making this very hard for me to deal with right now, Haru-chan,” says
Keitaro before catching on to his faux pas.
Not willing to let this go, Haruka turns her head and with a huge grin teases
back with, “No, Kei-kun. I want you very hard later on”.
Looking up at the ceiling, he thinks, ‘When am I ever going to learn?’
Master Ryu is beside himself with laughter…
To take his mind off this bit of silliness, he pushes his chair back to stand
up.
Knowing that Keitaro wants to come over there and help her, Haruka says in a
commanding voice, "Kei-kun, stay. Good boy". She considers it a privilege to
cook for him.
"Hai, Kaa-san," he responds with a mock pout. Keitaro is a good cook as well,
but… her kitchen, her rules.
She laughs.
He pulls himself back up to the table and waits for her to finish.
Haruka loves cooking for the two of them, and has done it for quite a while.
Except for the sizzling of the meat and other kitchen noises, it stays quiet
for a few minutes.
His mind then brings forth the reason why he came down here this evening. An
eidetic memory helps in this instance as he sees everything clearly now in his
head.
Needing to break the silence…
"Haru-chan," says Keitaro. He wants to tell her what is on his mind and hopes
that she does not get upset with him. Under these circumstances, he sees that
there is no other choice.
"Yes sweetie," she answers glancing back at him.
"While we eat,” says Keitaro looking directly at her, “I am going to tell you
about the planned changes that I am going make around up there, and there will
be a lot of them". He places a lot of emphasis on the last part of his
sentence.
Having shared his plan with Master Ryu, his Dragon-Sensei thought that it would
be a perfect time for a teachable moment. That is, to show the girls some of
his gifts and do something unexpected to gain the respect of two beautiful
hotheads that live with him. At least in Naru’s case.
"Kei-kun, are you sure that is wise to do right now?" asks Haruka who is very
familiar with his gifts, "Hina Baa-chan has told you many times not to get too
carried away with those girls".
A re-iteration…
Keitaro has inherited incredible strength and many amazing abilities that put
him on the meta-human level. He is more powerful than his family and the whole
of the Aoyama Council combined, but like his ancestors, he has never been one
to flaunt or misuse his gifts. Too many members of his family and others
associated with them closely watch and monitor his progress to see that he does
not. Keitaro has never given them cause though, except for the school incident.
(Writer's note: ibid chapter 2)
Many times over the past few years, he has said to both Haruka and Hina Baa-
chan that he wants to be just like everyone else, but with more abilities
making themselves known that may very well be impossible.
He has foreseen that everything around him is about to change.
Back in the kitchen…
“True, but I have taken just about everything into account,” he replies
thoughtfully. He is well aware of people’s trepidations when it concerns his
‘gifts’.
However, the kitchen smells wonderful as Haruka plates the food and brings it
to the table.
Taking her apron off, she sits next to Keitaro.
"Itadakimasu," they say clapping their hands together to invoke the traditional
blessing.
Haruka's smile goes wide when he picks up his chopsticks and fills his mouth
with her delicious looking offerings.
"Oh Kami, Haru-chan,” he says after swallowing his first mouthful, “This is so
good". He is very hungry this evening after a stressful day.
"I am glad you like it, Kei-kun," says Haruka eating her own dinner with a bit
more restraint.
He nods with a grin.
Haruka delights in eating with Keitaro as a couple, and after a few minutes she
breaks the quiet that they are enjoying to ask, "Kei-kun, what do you want to
do about the situation up at the Hinata?"
A momentary pause on Keitaro’s part to finish his mouthful and put the proper
words together.
She understand that whatever he has to say, many things are about to change
between them and the ones up on the Hill.
After swallowing a mouthful of food he begins by saying, "well Haru-chan, you
know those three huge boulders in back of the property that overlook the valley
inland?"
"Kei-kun, you mean the eyesores that my Okā-san wants to blast out when we do
the re-build?" asks Haruka for clarification. She did not expect him to begin
with this question.
"Yes them, Haru-chan. Well, I am going to take them out myself and at the same
time give a demonstration to the girls of what I can do," answers Keitaro after
swallowing some more food. After a short pause he continues, "Mutsumi and
Motoko already know what I am capable of because ten years ago they were there
at my last trial. Mutsumi is not the problem here though, it is Motoko who
needs to have her attitude adjusted somewhat. Besides, we both know that Naru
has been a real bitch lately. I just want to put a little bit of a scare into
them and bring the two around if you know what I mean."
He finishes and waits for her response by taking another mouthful of food.
"I agree, Kei-kun. I have always wanted to slap some sense into Naru, but you
would not let me. I just hope you do not end up hurting her," says Haruka. She
hates the way that Naru always treats him, she also knows that the brunette
loves him and is too stubborn to admit her true feelings.
Then, there is also Kanako to consider when it concerns her Onii-chan.
"No, Haru-chan,” Keitaro says chuckling, “I am not going to touch her, though
she just may piss herself after I am done with my little demonstration". He
then finishes off the rice in his bowl.
Haruka covers her mouth and giggles at the mental picture of the young brunette
wetting herself in front of the others.
“That will be a sight to behold,” she says after control her mirth.
Sitting back in his chair, Keitaro relaxes while Haruka goes to make tea and
rubs his full stomach contentedly. In addition, he gets another nice view of a
perfect sight.
-A_needed_discussion_they_had_to_have-
"Maybe that will drain some of the anger out of her soul, Kei-kun. Even so, can
you give me some specifics," inquires Haruka in a more serious tone.
Her interest in what he plans to do has her rapt attention as she come back to
the table. Waiting for the water to boil she turns her chair to face him before
sitting down.
Moving his chair back, Keitaro becomes very thoughtful and says, "What I want
to do will take building up of a lot of Chi, total focus and concentration, the
proper setting and the girls. Then, tomorrow morning at sunrise, with all of us
gathered I will begin”.
“Good start,” whispers Haruka hanging on his words.
“First though, Haru,” he leans forward a little and continues after a slight
pause, “I will head out back by myself and make a lot of noise out by taking
out two of the large boulders as well as the large dead maple by the cliff
face. This will let the girls know that something is going on out back.
Probably scare the shit out of Motoko because of that Chi sensitivity of hers
and will give your Okā-san something less to think about when she starts in.
Secondly…"
"Do you want me to do anything, Kei-kun?" interjects Haruka breaking through
his chain of thought.
"Yes, Haru-chan,” replies Keitaro happy that she asked, “I want you to go up
with me, cause a ruckus in the Hinata and get them all out to the back
property".
His plans had included her help in this, as the girls all respect her. Haruka
can be very scary when she wants to be.
"I can do that, Kei-kun," says Haruka with a predatory smile on her beautiful
face.
"Thanks, Haru-chan," says Keitaro leaning in to give her a quick kiss on the
lips, "Take no bullshit from anyone because I am very serious about doing
this”.
Enjoying the kiss, she says, “I have always been there for you when you needed
me”.
A pause…
“And, I have an ulterior motive as well," Keitaro says getting thoughtful
again.
"What is that, sweetie?" she asks without hesitation slightly puzzled.
Before answering her, Keitaro takes Haruka's hands and looks her in the eye,
"Haru-chan, as much as I love you, it kills me that Obaa-san would forbid us to
marry under the present circumstances”.
“I know, Kei-kun,” she whispers understanding know where he is going. At least
she thinks she does…
“If we were to defy her, then that picture of us on your headboard would have a
much different meaning than it does now, and so would our rings that sit in
your jewelry box,” he finishes spitting the words out as if he had just eaten
something sour.
Haruka would do just about anything to be his wife, and only Hina Obaa-san's
blessing keeps them from wedded bliss.
Moreover, their wizened Matriarch is very upset with her own Oji-san and Oba-
san for running away on the eve of World War 2. The siblings are still alive,
very active although near a hundred and have had a very happy life together
living just outside of Sapporo. The Urashima never disowned them because of the
curse and they have had quite a family of their own. Haruka and Keitaro are on
very friendly terms with that branch of their family.
However, these are two different cases…
Tears begin run down her beautiful face because she loves him so much.
Leaning in to hug her, he is about to broach the hardest subject next.
Nervously, Haruka looks up at him through her tears and asks, "What are you
going to do, Kei-kun?"
The kettle whistles…
Keitaro releases her so she can go and tend to it.
Haruka wipes her eyes as she prepares their tea. It stings her heart that he
would touch on their families’ burden in such a manner.
Moreover, if it were up to Haruka, she would wear a couple of aforementioned
items on her left ring finger all the time. Who knows what fate may bring them,
ne?
"Haru-chan, I am sorry that I said it that way,” says Keitaro looking at her
intently, “I cannot say that I regretted it, but it was something distasteful
that finally needed to be brought out into the open. Now that that is out of
the way finally, I want to talk to you about us starting our own branch of the
Urashima".
He feels her cringe when after saying those words.
"New family?" asks a puzzled Haruka. Hitting her sideways with this, she has
never heard Keitaro talk with her like this before.
Turning to face him for a moment, she sees fire in his eyes and knows he is
very serious about this.
Haruka has their tea ready and brings it over to the table.
"As you know, some of the girls up at the Hinata were chosen by Hina Baa-chan
to live there as bridal candidates for me. She probably wants me to choose one
of the even though marriage has been elective in our clan since before the
Heian era," he starts knowing that ‘shoes are about to drop’.
"What does this have to do with our present situation as it stands now, Kei-
kun?" interjects Haruka a little confused. Although he is stating the obvious,
the clues do not mesh somehow…
First shoe…
"You remember the mess that my Otō-san and Okā-san had with the Watanabe
heiress. Well, I plan to shake things up in this family starting with the
residents upstairs at the Hinata" he says angrily.
Neither of them realize that the Watanabe Suki has not given up on him. In
addition, her Okā-san and Imouto also have their own ideas about Keitaro.
(Writer's note: I will touch on this later.)
Getting out of her chair, Haruka sits on Keitaro’s lap and wraps her arms
around his neck. As her head rests on his shoulder, she begins to cry.
Wrapping her up in his arms by the waist, Keitaro pulls her close and whispers
softly, "I love you, Haru-chan. If you were my wife now, none of what I am
about to do would be necessary".
"I love you too, Kei-kun and I always will. It hurts me that you feel the need
to do this, but I will support you in every way," she says sitting up and
looking into his eyes again.
"Haru-chan, I promise you," he says looking back into her beautiful eyes, "That
no matter what happens with the others, you will always be first in my heart
and we will always be together. I am going to tell them about us after I make
all of them mine". (Writer's note: their affair is still quite secret, but some
have their suspicions…)
Second shoe…
“What was that, Kei-kun?” asks Haruka after jolting upright.
“It is the only way I can pull this whole thing off, Haru-chan,” responds
Keitaro using a serious tone, “You would be my wife and help me run the house.
The others would be the modern-day equivalent of concubines. I did some
research on the subject and in certain upper-class families’ the practice is
still permissible and quite legal. Especially when it comes to producing
heirs”,
"Are you serious? What about Hina Baa-chan and my Okā-san?" asks Haruka pulling
back. He has just pushed her ‘jealousy’ button, and in more ways than one.
"This I cannot help, Haru-chan,” answers Keitaro straightforward, “I believe
that your Okā-san will say nothing since I am the reason that she is still
alive and was able to have Harumi-chan. However, as for Hina Baa-chan, she will
obviously get very upset with us and me especially because of the history of
incest that has plagued our clan over the millennia. Although we are first
cousins and you are older, I do not see that helping us at all".
"Damn it to hell, Kei-kun,” declares Haruka in a louder voice than she wanted
to use, “That damn curse has plagued out family for so long, but let me say
this (a pause) even if the curse did not exist, I would still love you just as
fiercely.”
“I believe you,” replies Keitaro taking a moment to kiss her lips, he then
adds, "That may be true, but I think that there is more to it and neither one
of us sees it yet".
"Personally, like you I do not believe that my Okā-san will be upset since you
are her healer. Hina Baa-chan, like you said, is a whole different story," says
Haruka getting off of his lap and sitting back over in her own chair.
"Yeah I agree, Haru-chan,” says an exasperated Keitaro, “There are too damn
many secrets in this family as it is, so this fucking bullshit has got to end
right here and now. We are going to straighten out things around here before
some bad Karma comes along and really takes a big bite out of all our asses".
Haruka takes his hands again and hates most of what they are talking about
tonight. She feels powerless to do anything and can only listen to what he is
saying.
He leans in and kisses her once more.
She agrees with everything that he has said, but…
-In_Kyoto,_Part_1-
“A few more days and I will finally free of that son-of-a-bitch that I was
married to,” whispers Aoyama Tsuruko out of sight of everyone else. She hurries
to her next class in basic forms. This is one of her more enjoyable classes, as
the students here take their lessons very seriously.
For the previous year, everyone around the Aoyama Compound has noticed a huge
difference in a certain someone’s demeanor. That someone has been smiling a lot
more as well in the company of those who call her Sensei.
Rounding the corner and entering a secondary Dojo, Tsuruko is happy to see all
of the fresh young faces of those taking her basic Kendo class. Being National
and Imperial champion three years running in high school, she has much
knowledge to pass on.
The smile is a welcome sight to her young charges, and for the last year, the
female students are especially happy that her hentai of an ex is no longer
around. (Writer’s note: hentai is pervert in Japanese)
Not being a taskmaster as during previous years when ‘he’ was around, Tsuruko
calmly and with much patience, shows her students the how to do proper basic
forms. It is her desire to find and then cultivate the next Imperial Grand
Champion.
Speaking of why she is now happy…
It started with the wedding, which had intended by her Otō-san to be a happy
affair, but nearly turned out to be a war. Not once did the ‘bride’ pay any
attention to the ‘groom’ after they read the vows of commitment and drank the
traditional Sake. It seems that Tsuruko paid more attention to her best friend
than to the man she had just married.
No one knew about the night before when she shared a very intimate act with
another woman, which went like this:
“Onegai, Haruka-chan,” pleads Tsuruko just about frantic and upset over her
upcoming wedding in the morning, “I sure as hell do not want to give it to him.
Take it, because I may never have the one I truly want”.
After the sting of losing her hymen, Tsuruko had a wonderful night of Sapphic
sex with her best friend. At least that memory made the next morning more
tolerable.
Although continuing to live on Aoyama grounds, Tsuruko did not speak to her
Otō-san for five whole years after the wedding ceremony. She showed him nothing
but disdain, and in front of her Okā-san as well. All communication was either
through her Okā-san, notes or text messages.
When an elder had the temerity to try and correct Tsuruko on this matter, all
he received was the click of a blade in its Saya to make him back down. This
sent a loud message to the rest of the clan not to press this particular issue
any further or even interfere in her affairs.
Being the 21st century does not matter to her, because a Katana can slice just
as deep as it did five hundred years ago.
Aoyama Tsubasa knows of the contempt her daughter had for her husband and did
nothing to correct her attitude. She actually support it and Urashima Hinata
along with Mariko had to come down to mediate so there would not be a divorce
between the parents.
“You brought this upon yourself,” she would tell her husband many times.
This went on with no ending in sight and it was beginning to affect their
younger daughter. At least Tsubasa had the foresight to have Motoko go live at
the Hinata when Keitaro took ownership and moved in.
‘We shall see,’ she would think knowing of her younger daughter’s love of the
now Urashima heir.
In addition, she had warned her husband that no heirs would come from the
marriage and many times would tell him, “Urashima Keitaro would have been a
much better choice, dear”.
All Aoyama Taichi could do was nod with her, as he finally gave into his elder
daughter’s demands for a divorce.
A little over a year ago when everyone was present at the Dojo, Tsuruko
presented her ex with a divorce decree.
With reconciliation in sight, Aoyama-sama said it would be best if said husband
would sign the document and leave the grounds immediately. At least for the
sake of his health…
When the soon-to-be ex signed and began to castigate his soon-to-be ex-wife,
Tsuruko used an ancient technique to send the man flying unceremoniously over
the main gate and out of her life.
Six and a half years was enough for her as she began to burn for someone else.
Although his family are members of the Aoyama Council, he was never a fighter
in any sense of the word and only married Tsuruko because of her money. The man
knew of his ‘bride’s’ total disdain for him and actually feared for his life if
he ever tried to touch her in any way. In addition, sleeping in separate rooms
did nothing to dissuade him of this fact either…
Presently…
Tsuruko sits at her desk and brings up a special calendar on her laptop.
Ticking off another day, she smiles that there are so few remaining. Before
shutting the device down and going to bed, she takes a moment to smile at a
wallpaper of a picture that her best friend sent in a recent email.
“I love you, my Keitaro-sama”.
-Back_at_the_Tea_Shoppe-
After the discussion ended and they had dessert, Haruka and Keitaro cleared off
the table. Placing their dinner dishes into the large dishwasher, she pulls the
lever down closing it. Hearing it cycle, Haruka nods as Keitaro finishes
cleaning the counter.
“There,” says Keitaro rinsing a kitchen rag out and draping it on the faucet.
Never has he been one to shirk any chore assigned him, as his Okā-san has
trained him only too well.
Wanting time to change gears and decompress from their difficult discussion,
Keitaro and Haruka hold each other in the middle of the kitchen. Neither of
them move one iota, as they just want a little time and the comfort of each
other’s arms.
The sun has set and the sky is darkening, it is a comfortably warm evening
outside.
On her perch, Haruka wants them to share watching the wonderful sights of
Yokohama and Tokyo together. This is something they do as often as they can,
whenever they can.
Later, when neither one can wait any longer, Haruka wants Keitaro spending the
night in bed fucking the shit out of her until she passes out on him.
Needing to change the mood, Keitaro takes Haruka and gives her a big wet French
kiss. Her arms go around his neck and his hands come up to fondle her large
breasts. Tongues twirl and dance together as their heat builds up. Both of
their lower bodies come together and he rubs his very hard cock against her
lower belly.
'By what is poking into me, he must be feeling much better now,' thinks Haruka.
She is very wet as well, and the crotch of her panties are soaking through.
This is what starts many a great evening for them in bed.
The kiss breaks and they look into each other's eyes.
"Kei-kun, I want you so much," says Haruka quietly touching her forehead to
his.
"Haru-chan, we have all night," says Keitaro as he playfully tugs her stiffened
nipples.
"Okay then, Kei-kun. After taking me to ‘heaven’, you are going to take a bath
with me after I wash your back," says Haruka who then gasps when he tweaks both
nipples at the same time.
He nods, and says nothing else.
Looking at him with a definite leer in her eyes, she moans he continues to play
with her tits.
With her motor beginning to rev in high gear, she says, "Grab a couple beers
for us out of the fridge, sweetie. I will lock the backdoor before we go up to
my perch".
They kiss again.
"Haru-chan, I would like that very much," says Keitaro smiling after releasing
her lips because he loves it when Haruka uses her large tits on his back. He
lets go of her to grab the beers out of the fridge.
She heads over to lock the door and feels a trickle run down the inside of her
right thigh.
With her back turned to him, Haruka wordlessly mouths, “I am so fucking horny”.
A knowing smile.
Seeming forgetting about his acute hearing, Haruka almost stops in her tracks
when she hears, “I know”.
The knowing smile may have gone a bit far when she greets it with a sheepish
look, a slightly red face and a playful backhand across his arm.
“Do not blame me,” replies Keitaro putting his hands out in the posture of
surrender, “you know what I can do”.
“That is not why I smacked you, you smartass,” says Haruka not liking to be
embarrassed. She knows that however hard she hits him, he will never feel the
pain of it. 
“Message received,” he says scratching the back of his head and feeling
sheepish himself.
Grabbing his hand and laughing, the woman leads the man she loves up the inside
staircase in the hopes of satiation. He had pushed the right buttons and she is
now all lit up.
On the stairway, Haruka says to him "Kei-kun, please wait on the deck for me. I
will be right out".
“Okay,” he says knowing better than to ask why.
With this, she runs into her room.
Looking out from Haruka's deck, Keitaro loves the view of the city lights
shining on the periphery. It amazes him that she had this built for just such a
purpose because from here there is a great view of everything across both bays.
The windows to her bedroom are right behind him, but he does not look in. Even
so, the lights are off.
'She must have something interesting in store to surprise me with,' thinks
Keitaro with a lusty smile.
Sitting in one of the wooden chairs that Haruka had especially built for them,
Keitaro attempts to refocus on why he is up here. Opening one of the beers, he
takes a big swig of it.
Hoping against hope that the alcoholic beverage can help him unwind. Somewhere
through all of this, a memory comes to the forefront of a funny situation that
happened three years previously…
His body metabolizes alcohol very rapidly and he cannot get drunk no matter how
much he consumes. This is where the next paragraph gets its relevance… 
Remembering the Hiroshima trip after he had turned the legal drinking age,
Haruka spent most of the evening trying to get him drunk in revenge for him
taking her in the ass so much. Though eventually healing her sphincter, this
did not end Haruka’s attempts at seeing him get wasted. Massive quantities of
Sake and beer did nothing as he consumed them in generous amounts. She though
slurred her words and got a bit miffed when he began to laugh at her. When she
took a swing at him, he grabbed her arm and pulled her close for a kiss.
Straddling his lap, a Yukata clad Haruka impaled herself on his cock and fucked
him until fainting. Next morning, a hungover Haruka called him, “a fucker”
before he used his Chi to relieve her pain. (Writer’s note: In Japan, legal
drinking age is 20)
“Shit, I never thought that she could get that drunk,” whispers Keitaro looking
over his shoulder at the darkened window behind him.
They have shared so much together and now their relationship is about to turn
another chapter.
Leaning back and putting his open can on the table, Keitaro also thinks about
what he shared with Haruka during dinner. It still bothers him quite a lot.
Nevertheless, he would never do anything without saying anything to Haruka
first and getting her support. However, Keitaro has just one secret that he
will keep for now and tell her when the time is right. 
'Shit, I just had to fall in love with my first cousin,' thinks Keitaro getting
somewhat introspective. He hates introspection.
‘For this, my son,’ says Master Ryu sagely in the background, ‘It is a matter
that even I cannot help you with’.
‘I understand that, Sensei,’ responds Keitaro in thought. Transitioning thought
and compartmentalizing them is normally easy for him, but tonight he knows that
he needs a lot of distraction to assist his eidetic memory in doing thus…
…which, Haruka is so good at providing when he gets into these moods.
Silence, except for a few cicadas in the background…
The smile is gone, but that does not last very long as Haruka makes her grand
re-appearance.
…as she now provides the impetus for gears to switch very rapidly.
"Wait long sweetie?" she asks giggling while showing off a lot of skin.
"Whoa...," Keitaro responds gasping as he sees Haruka stand there in the
ambient light from the cities off in the distance. It makes her look extremely
sexy.
Haruka stands at the top of the landing barefoot, traditionally wearing a sheer
extremely short white silk Yukata covered in blossoming Sakura trees.
'She probably has nothing on under it,' he thinks getting the distraction that
he needed to put the last of the dinnertime conversion away until another time.
His dick hurts.
"Like it?" she asks. Haruka has his full attention now because his mouth is
wide open like a fish about ready to chomp on a baited hook. He cannot take his
eyes off her.
"You are in a lot of trouble for wearing that, Haru-chan," he answers. Keitaro
has a smirk on his face that lets her know she is in for long night of
screaming in bed a little later on.
"Oh I hope so," says Haruka giggling.
“Me too,” he whispers picking up the second can of beer and popping the tab.
Slowly sauntering over to where he is, and before sitting next to him, Haruka
bends over to kiss his lips. She knows he has a raging hard-on, because of a
spike in his Chi that sends waves of lust through her causing Haruka to shiver
in delight. 
That wave hits the two adepts up on the Hill as well, with different results
however. 
Taking the beer that he had opened for her, Haruka takes a big swig and
swallows it down. Sitting next to her lover, she allows the alcohol to give her
a ‘buzz’ for later on. She knows she will need it and can only prepare for the
inevitable.
Keitaro does nothing but smile.
-Up_in_the_Hinata-
Unbeknownst to the two down at the perch, Motoko feels Keitaro's Chi coming
from down below and gets the same urges as Haruka. Her meditation has failed
this evening because her lust is starting to win out over her resolve to stay
angry with Keitaro for ignoring her. She has always had difficulty admitting to
herself that she is hopelessly and madly in love with him.
Secretly like Kanako, Motoko worships the very ground he walks on, but the
stubborn streak that the Aoyama clan is famous for clouds her judgment
regarding this fact. She wants to tell him thus but her stupid pride,
stubbornness and the rotten things that she has said to him recently make her
reluctant to do so.
She needs to call her Ane-ue or Okā-san soon and come to terms with her
weaknesses as a woman. 
Many things in this proud Samurai's life are about to change.
In her room now, Motoko is writing a new romance novel. She uses a pen name to
get her stories published so none of the others here knows what she is doing.
All of her characters involved the same man in different guises and she is the
Samurai maiden that takes him away before pleasuring herself with him.
Kitsune already suspects that the Samurai maiden is in love with their
Kanrinin. The Fox loves him as well, as this revelation will surprise everyone.
"Keitaro-sama, please forgive me for the terrible things that I have said or
done to you. I am in love with you and my only wish is that you would see me as
a woman," whispers Motoko. A tear falls down her lovely face. She knows that
somehow she has to drop the façade of being angry with him and change her
attitude so that she can ask for his forgiveness.
'But it is so hard,' she thinks as an afterward. Motoko knows it is time for
her to grow up and start acting like an adult. She is eighteen and in
University after all.
Then, out of sheer lust, Motoko drops her Hakama so she can touch herself. It
is to a fantasy of Keitaro tenderly taking her, as she gives him the gift of
her virginity in his futon. Groaning and muffling her screams on the sleeve of
her Gi, she collapses onto her futon while squirting heavily. 
She does not know that her Keitaro-sama already has his sights set on her. When
this eventually happens, it will make Motoko very happy.
Passing out, Motoko is sound asleep still half dressed.
Mutsumi is in her room studying with Naru and feels the same thing as her
younger roommate. His aura does not affect the Okinawan as strongly or in the
same way. She just smiles and gets a little wet.
-Back_down_to_Haruka's_perch-
Holding hands across their chairs, Keitaro and Haruka enjoy the beautiful
evening together watching the city lights.
Besides Hinata City, the horizon lights up across Sagami and Tokyo Bays as
Yokohama, Tokyo and faraway Chibe are on full panoramic view before them.
"Feeling better now sweetie?" asks Haruka lolling her head over to look at the
man sitting in the next chair. She does not bother covering up any body part if
it becomes exposed.
"Yes, and I will feel even better later on, Haru-chan. You are making it very
difficult for me right now," answers Keitaro in return.
"What makes you say that, sweetie?" asks Haruka not hiding the sultriness in
her tone. She want him very badly, although she wants to tease him and draw
this out first.
"For Kami's sake, Haru-chan. I think all you ever want is sex," Keitaro replies
in mock exasperation.
Haruka, enjoying every second of watching him squirm, cannot deny it when he
states the obvious. She must have understood what he was trying to convey to
her earlier because her attitude is more playful now. She likes playing this
game to get him going along with using a lot of suggestive language and
innuendo.
Hey, he likes it too.
"No, sex with you is not all I think about. It is the only thing I think
about," says Haruka trying to stifle a laugh.
‘Oh, so that is your little game,’ Keitaro thinks. He hears what she just said
and then decides right there to do some teasing of his own.
She gives him a self-satisfied look, however…
"Do you remember the time that we went to that resort down by Hiroshima on my
twentieth birthday?" asks Keitaro in his own playful manner deciding to tease
her with this now.
"Kei-kun, you had better not even think about doing that to me tonight,”
replies Haruka as the smugness leaves her face, “Shit, even after you healed my
ass I could not sit still or walk straight for two days after all the times you
took me back then. Those memories still cause me some discomfort as I lost
track of how many times you fucked me back there that week. In addition, you
fucking baka! I thought I would be never able to talk again after all of the
screaming that I did".
Laughing loudly when she finishes her diatribe, Haruka’s face is bright red
with embarrassment as she recalls what he did to her that time. She releases
his hand.
"I could remind you of all of the fun we had that week," says Keitaro with a
smirk on his face. He knows that he has her in a bind now.
"Damn it to hell, Kei-kun,” she replies with a bit of mock exasperation, “You
had better not even fucking dare go there. It is bad enough that you have that
fucking eidetic memory of yours. I do not need to have you give me a blow-by-
blow description of our sex life. And, if you think that you can talk to me
like that and still get some pussy tonight, think again you silly baka". The
last part is almost a shriek.
Then, she surprises Keitaro with her next move.
Needing to do something that is a bit more drastic to get the upper hand back
in this situation, Haruka hurriedly gets out of her chair and without
hesitating, straddles her lover. Putting her arms around his neck, she proceeds
to kiss the heck out of him.
"GACK! (Hnnnn...) Haru-chan, wait! Shit, oh Kami, please slow down!" gasps
Keitaro sputtering in between kisses while waving his arms about. For once, her
speed surprises him as she catches him totally off-guard.
"Absolutely not, Kei-kun,” says Haruka in a commanding voice, “I have to find
some way to shut us both the fuck up before neither one of us wants to have
sex. Now, shut your fucking mouth and kiss me". She is in no mood for taking
prisoners right now and attacks his mouth with her tongue.
His lack of understand at how women think puzzles Keitaro to no end and only
serves that he still has a long way to go. In this case, he will just ‘go with
the flow’ and take the lead when the time is right. At least this is what he
thinks…
Rubbing her exposed pussy along the very hard swollen bulge in his pants, there
is no way Haruka is going to slowdown now that her motor is revving in high
gear.
Getting the clue, Keitaro reaches up and fondles her large tits that have
fallen out of her open robe. At least he knows how to follow up.
Happily moaning through their kisses, Haruka gasps when he gently tugs her at
hardened nipples. Her back then arches causing the kiss to break.
"Shit, Kei-kun,” says a rasping Haruka sticking her big tits out, “That feels
so fucking great". She loves it when he plays with her large treasures. Unlike
most big-breasted women, she has cummed many times from him just playing with
them.
“I have something that will make you feel even better,” he whispers
enigmatically.
“What?” she asks not realizing that he finally has it in him to unlock her
fully.
Reaching his left hand down to her gorgeous ass, he pulls her body up closer to
him. This causes her robe to open and expose everything she owns. Ignoring the
fact that she is molding her body to his, Keitaro’s other hand slowly descends
the silky material of her robe causing her anticipation to rise. On the
receiving end of some intense kissing from her, he cups her ass causing her
back to arch again as the kissing stops.
“Shit,” cries Haruka enjoying his playfulness.
With his target in range, Keitaro brings her up a little more and latches his
mouth on her right nipple.
Losing it, Haruka screams. She does not care who hears her.
Keitaro's tongue circles the engorged teat of the left one before he sucks on
that one too.
Audible, but very primal sounds emanate from her as Haruka holds his head while
nursing him. She wishes she just had some milk to give him. 
Keitaro has something even more sensational for her.
Haruka arches her back even more as he begins attacking her back door. The
sounds from her become even more primeval when his left middle finger enters
her ass and two fingers from his right hand go deep into her pussy.
“What are you going to do,” she hollers expecting that he could do anything.
He does not disappoint…
Purposely, Keitaro puts his Chithrough his fingers and sets his Ki off getting
some very spectacular results.
"AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!" screams Haruka at the top of her lungs as her eyes
roll up into her head. Before collapsing onto his chest, she climaxes hard and
squirts heavily all over his lap.
Powering down for the moment, Keitaro does not notice a smug little smile of
satisfaction that a barely-conscious Haruka has plastered on her face.
Slowly getting her wits back about her after enjoying her first afterglow of
the evening, Haruka pushes herself up smiling and says, "That was so fucking
intense."
"That was just a sample, Haru-chan," replies Keitaro licking his right fingers.
“Well?” asks Haruka flippantly taking a lick herself. Apparently, she has no
more patience for any kind of delay.
Gently shifting her body around and standing up, Keitaro carries a laughing
Haruka over to her apartment and says, “Remember, you are the one who started
it this time”.
-To_the_‘scene_of_the_crime’-
Coming inside and walking over to her bed, he unceremoniously dumps Haruka onto
it and quickly strips off his clothes.
“Whoa,” says Haruka smiling after throwing her robe off and tossing it to who-
knows-where. Haruka lies on her back and waits for whatever he has in mind.
Knowing that his lover likes things a little rough, Keitaro takes hold of her
ankles and gently pries her legs open so that he can quickly get to his prize.
Powering up, he wants to give he an extra special treatment.
Next thing she knows, waves of his aura smash into her when he goes down onto
her pussy, and savages it with his tongue. With his arms around her slender
thighs, she shrieks and feels him hit all of the special places that only he
knows about. Held in grip of steel, although thrashing about, Haruka can do
little but suffer the agony that comes from so much pleasure.
He puts just a little more Chi on the tip and goes a bit deeper into her folds.
The results are spectacular as Haruka drenches his face.
This flips Keitaro's switch as he shift his elbows and goes for something a
little kinkier.
"Shit, Kei-kun! Not that!" screams Haruka knowing what he is going to do next.
Lifting Haruka’s ass off the bed with her feet dangling in the air, Keitaro
circles his tongue around her rear pucker. He knows that giving her a rimjob
will release any last inhibitions she might have about having any kind of sex
with him.
"Damn it, Kei-kun. You fucker," screams Haruka once more. She is on the very
cusp of cumming once again.
Seeing that he has his cousin in a bind, Keitaro decides to escalate things
even more.
Reaching his hand around to press her clit with a Chi laden finger, he violates
her rear sphincter with his tongue at the same time.
With his aural pressure touching two spots at once, it causes her brain to
overload with way too much pleasure.
"SHIT!" she shrieks bucking before hitting his forehead with a huge splash.
Haruka collapses once again just as she did outside.
"I thought you might enjoy that," says Keitaro looking up and smiling from
between her legs. Setting her back down, he continues to lick her pussy and
nips at her labia with his lips.
Staring at the ceiling breathing hard, she rasps, "I needed that".
“Glad I could help,” quips Keitaro offhandedly while feeling smug.
She giggles some as he continues to go down on her and lap up her essence.
Smiling at her, he releases her thighs and kisses his way slowly back up her
beautiful body.
Needing a little revenge from him for the way that he had savaged her pussy and
asshole twice without response, Haruka decides that it is time for her own bit
of fun.
He relaxes, and then…
Catching him when he least expects it, Haruka grabs his arms and throws Keitaro
off balance. Switching places with him by default, Haruka is on top and eyes a
prize of her own.
Slightly stunned and lying on his back, Keitaro knows exactly what she is going
to do to next. He knows that he has this coming to him for teasing her so
badly.
"My turn, you little meanie," says Haruka grabbing his large throbbing cock
with a smirk of her own.
Just as mercilessly and without warning, she goes down on him.
"Shit," squeaks Keitaro as her tongue begins to work its magic. He knows that
she is going to draw this out and torture him the way that he did to her.
Licking slowly around the top of his swollen purple head, she laps up some
precum from the tip as it leaks profusely from the hole. Then, following the
path of a large vein down the shaft, Haruka tongue-tickles the bottom of his
scrotum and pulls at it with her lips.
“Uhhhh!”
Hearing his pleasured moaning, Haruka slowly follows a different vein back up
as his eyes roll back into his head. Using her nimble fingers, she pulls down
the foreskin to expose the weeping head of his engorged cock. This monster does
not scare Haruka in the least.
"Haru-chan, oh shit!" says Keitaro arching his back a little and sucking air
through his teeth. He knows what is coming next.
Making sure that his shaft is moist enough, Haruka takes the head of his cock
slowly into her mouth, down her throat and then back up again. She does this a
couple of more times…
"DAMN!" he yells. Keitaro feels her tight wet throat as she takes him deep. He
loves it when she does this to him.
Haruka has deep-throated him enough that her gag reflex no longer kicks in. She
just has to be careful of what comes out when he has an orgasm.
"Oh my fucking word, Haru-chan," gasps Keitaro. His eyes nearly bug out from
his skull when she combines throating his shaft and tonguing his nuts. If she
keeps going like this, he will not last much longer.
'I hope he has a lot in him,' she thinks taking him down once again.
"Hnnnn…," he whimpers when she adds more suction.
Haruka adds a little vibration knowing this will get him to fire off quicker.
Keitaro's prostate convulses as the rest of his body goes rigid. This took him
completely by surprise, as he was not expecting her to do that to his dick.
Jerking violently, his large cock just about pulls free from her mouth. She did
this because he reacts severely to vocal vibrations on his exposed cockhead.
Since this is nothing new to her, she calmly backs off when he begins to fire
off the first of a dozen large shots of his hot spunk into her mouth. There is
so much that it immediately paints the back of her throat.
Swallowing it, she savors some of it and purrs her pleasure.
“Oh fuck, Haru-chan!” screams Keitaro arching his back again and grabbing her
head.
She enjoys pleasurably torturing him when he teases her too much.
Lying here on the bed, Keitaro is breathing hard after she hummed on his dick
and he came so hard. Very few things can cause Keitaro to shudder that
violently, and what Haruka has just done to him is one of them.
"Now we are even, my little Kei-kun," says Haruka in a sarcastic tone after
releasing his cock. She teases him by rolling and slurping some of his cum
through her teeth before gulping it down as well.
"I guess I did owe you that one, Haru-chan," says Keitaro sitting up and giving
her the ‘I get it’ look.
"You had better have a lot more than just that in you tonight, lover" says
Haruka sternly. Once is never enough for her…
"Well, let me see," replies Keitaro.
Mounting her, she spreads her legs wide once again, Haruka's mood is such that
she wants him to fuck her senseless tonight. She has no doubt that he will take
care of everything now that the pre-amble is over.
With everything lined up perfectly, Keitaro rams the head of his cock into
Haruka's pussy up to the cervix in one push. He is about to show her no mercy.
"OH SHIT!" she screams at the top of her lungs.
Keitaro, grabbing the blanket underneath them, has Haruka pinned while her legs
and feet dangle freely in the air.
Barely able to move, Haruka lies there and enjoys hearing the bedsprings
squeak. She wants him to pound her into submission.
"Come on Kei-kun, you can fuck me harder than that, I know you can. Fuck me
like a man. SHIT!" shrieks an almost senseless Haruka. Having his forearms in a
grip of steel, she loves it when he slams her deepest spots.
Keitaro is almost glowing as he now begins to piston fucking her.
Up in their rooms, the two adepts are sleeping soundly. They would be
masturbating furiously, if they were not.
"Take this... and this..., Haru-chan. Shit," growls Keitaro. He rams his whole
cock deep into her sopping hole and gets into a very primal state of mind.
Keitaro is going so hard that he is just about raping her.
"Augh! Cumming, you fucking shithead," replies Haruka screaming even louder
totally out of it. Squirting again like a fountain this time, she adds to the
mess that the two have already made.
"Oh, fuck me," says Keitaro on the edge of whimpering. Letting go of his second
huge load, he ejaculates deeply inside her and feels each shot of his hot cum
exiting his prostate.
“Geezus! So good, Kei-kun,” squeals Haruka in a high-pitched tone. Feeling each
of his warm shots fill her womb, she squeezes her legs around his lower back.
Much of his seed leaks out of her pussy and onto the blanket beneath them.
'Plenty more where that came from,' she thinks smiling through her mental haze.
Not taking any time to rest or even reset himself, Keitaro utilizes his
tremendous strength and lifts Haruka up off the bed. Standing on the floor
still connected, he gets a good rhythm going with her.
Placing his arms under Haruka’s knees and cupping her ass, he hears, “Come on,
Kei-kun! Is this all you have?”
She wants a good night of fucking and for him to abuse her pussy. Haruka has
been waiting all week for him to fuck her senseless and no matter what happens
here, she is going to be sated, even if it takes all night. Her last cogent
thought before she blanks out is, 'Kei-kun will probably keep this up all
night, just like he did in Hiroshima'. She misses seeing him glow as his
intensity increases.
‘Oh, is this how she wants it,’ he thinks smiling and powering up.
Loving this position, Haruka puts her arms around his neck and hangs on for
dear life. Pulling herself closer to him, she kisses his lips as he fucks her
even deeper. It is him doing these wonderful things when they are together that
keeps her coming back and wanting more.
Glowing now as his aura leeches out, Keitaro feels her shuddering wildly while
holding her body close.
When she glows in sync with him, Haruka loses sight of her surroundings. The
Tantric bliss is almost too overwhelming for her
A throaty growl from Keitaro is the only sign that he is about to let ago
again. The glow intensifies.
Not able to scream, Haruka smashes her cheek into his ear as she releases
another orgasm. Almost separating from him because of its intensity, Haruka is
glad that Keitaro is strong enough to keep the together.
Nevertheless, after enjoying the warm feeling for a few moments, they are off
again…
Keitaro takes his Haru-chan in a many different positions when he resumes.
Missionary, doggy-style, cowgirl and reverse cowgirl, standing from in front
and behind, those are just some of the ways he continues ‘taking her to
heaven’.
As he shoots his last load into her pussy, Haruka buckles like an old bridge
support that can no longer support any weight when she passes out. Before she
did however, Haruka saw the train wreck coming as spots formed in her eyes
during her final orgasm.
Lying here together in a tangled heap on her bed, neither of them wants to
move.
He does not want to and she cannot. She had passed the threshold into Nirvana
and is presently floating in Tantric ecstasy. 
She does get the last laugh though…
Even though Haruka is unconscious when he finished blowing his last wad into
her vagina, said body part clamped down in revenge on his still rock hard cock.
'Shit, now I have to concentrate and go limp before I can pull out,' he thinks
laughing. It amuses Keitaro as to how tight Haruka's pussy can get when she
passes out on him.
Out of it, Haruka has a smug little grin on her face.
Lying here and needing to pee, he applies a little Chi to rectify things.
"Oops, better not use too much. Motoko must be a mess upstairs," he mutters
quietly. He does not know that both adepts are asleep.
Breathing normally after all of his exertions, Keitaro is finally flaccid
enough to exit Haruka. He chuckles some after seeing how she is leaking like a
rusty old bucket onto the bedding below.
That was only the first step…
'Damn it to hell, I really have to go. I hope I fucking make it,' thinks
Keitaro who has stopped snickering.
Finding that he has to extricate himself from Haruka's vise-like grasp without
waking her, the situation turns into a comedy of errors as she tries to snuggle
into him when he goes to stand up.
On the other hand, his bladder is in need of some serious relief.
She tends to be a light sleeper.
Walking quickly across the floor, Keitaro makes it just in time and after
closing the door, pumps his bilges out like an old cargo vessel. (Writer's
note: my apologies for the last two anachronisms.)
Meanwhile…
Haruka stirs and quickly wakes up from her short nap. Reaching for her lover so
she can pull him near, Haruka tents her hand and touches different spots on the
bedding before opening her eyes. Feeling nothing, she opens them and spots a
light coming from underneath her closed bathroom door.
Smiling after the fucking she had just received from her Keitaro, she lets
things go for a moment and enjoys the afterglow by herself.
After a few minutes of this, Haruka stretches out and yawns.
"What the hell? Oh yeah," says Haruka laughing.
Her arms and legs run across the different wet spots on the old blanket that
she had put on the bed earlier.
'Shit, he sure did have a lot in him tonight,' she thinks with a devilish grin
on her face. Then, she hears the faucet filling up her large tub and is sure
that Keitaro will come back to wake her.
Sitting up, she sees him open the door allowing light into the bedroom.
"Good, I was just coming to get you," says Keitaro seeing his lover there on
the bed smiling back at him.
As she moves to get up, he sees what they had done to her blanket and blurts
out, "Gomen, Haru-chan."
Haruka laughs watching him sheepishly stand there in the doorway all red-faced
and scratching the back of his head.
“At least you are not backed up anymore,” she says sarcastically getting out of
bed. Grabbing the blanket by the ends, Haruka throws it into her laundry bin.
No matter how hard he tries, Keitaro cannot get that sheepish look off his
face.
"Shit, Kei-kun. I do not regret a single one of those wet spots," says a smug
Haruka sauntering towards him with that hot body of hers. Kissing his cheek
while passing by, she needs to empty her own bladder as well.
“Oh,” says Keitaro loitering here while the tub fill. Though she fell
unconscious during sex, he feels that she still got the best of him.
Squatting on the commode in a very suggestive way, Haruka gives him a show as
she pees and drains her pussy. She does this by using some exaggerated facial
movements to show her pleasure and tease him at the same time.
“Whoa,” he says with his eyes transfixed.
"Hentai," she replies with a smoky voice as he stares at her naked body.
-Winding_down_a_great_evening-
Sitting on a stool as Haruka lovingly washes his back with the liquid soap that
she always uses, he feels like he is now in heaven. She previously had told him
that this soap suits him perfectly.
She buys most of his toiletries at high end men’s stores and spares no expense
in securing them. That is why he always smells so good on one of their dates.
He appreciates it as well as a shelf in his room has many of the products
sitting on it that she and her Okā-san has given him.
As is her usual, Haruka enjoys using her large breasts to scrub his back. Along
with draping her arms down the front of him, she feels his chest, tweaks his
nipples and kisses his neck. For now, she just wants to spoil him.
Humming his pleasure, he turns his head allowing Haruka to kiss his lips.
When she comes around to his front, she straddles his knees for a moment to get
the front of his shoulders and chest. It is certainly no surprise to Haruka to
see a certain friend saluting her once again.
Keitaro gets a bright idea while she is in this position.
With the sponge and soap bottle flying out of Haruka’s hands, he lifts her up
using his feet. Sliding up his thighs, she impales herself on his very hard
cock and loudly moans.
He laughs.
Not surprised at all with what he is doing, she slid all the up his cock until
the head slammed up to the door of her womb.
Haruka, trying not to laugh, asks, "Again, Kei-kun? I just finished getting you
clean, you silly baka."
"You want to, Haru-chan?" asks Keitaro grabbing onto her ass as he stands up.
For some strange inexplicable reason, she never tires of him doing this to her.
Putting her arms and legs around him, Haruka says, "Shut up and fuck me".
Kissing his lips, she lets him know that she means it.
Standing here in the middle of her bathroom, Keitaro fucks Haruka silly. Their
sex is very intense with her doing a lot of screaming. She cums and squirts
again as he floods her with another dozen massive shots of his hot semen.
Afterwards, Keitaro sits back down on the stool with a shit-eating grin on his
face. She just looks at him with mock exasperation.
Laughing after playfully backhanding his arm, Haruka washes him again and says,
"If you keep doing that we will never get out of here." She is trying to stop
her laughter because he does this to her all the time.
"Is that such a bad thing, Haru-chan," he retorts. Keitaro snickers when she
washes his penis off as he is making it throb.
She playfully backhands him again and says, "You stop that right now or I will
cut you off."
She hates it when he teases her so successfully again, consequently she dumps a
bucket of warm water over his head in retaliation to get him to stop. She does
think that the water makes him look very handsome.
When she sits down, he pampers her by gently washing every part of her body.
Turning her head this time, they share another long tender French kiss.
"Kei-kun, that feels so good," says Haruka wrapping her arms back around his
neck. He is being playfully gentle with her now swollen tits.
Slowly, things begin to wind down…
Keitaro washes around her pussy and asks, "Are you sore at all, Haru-chan?" He
always asks this after they have sex and worries that he sometimes gets too
rough with her.
"Actually no, Kei-kun. I am feeling very good right now," she answers smiling.
Rough handling by him is nothing new to her, as she actually encourages this
behavior when they have sex.
Rinsing Haruka off with a bucket of warm water, Keitaro sees how truly
beautiful his cousin is.
Stepping into her large tub, Keitaro sits back and relaxes.
Haruka quickly climbs in, sits down and leans against her lover.
"Ah! This is perfect, Haru-chan,” says Keitaro emphasizing the first word while
wrapping his arms around her slender waist, “I have a feeling that everything
will go well tomorrow morning".
The warm bath water seems to soothe away any residual angst and anxiety that he
may face come morning.
"Do you really think that what you are planning will all work out, Kei-kun?"
asks Haruka turning slightly to look at her lover, “Will those two actually
listen to you?
"Things had better change up there with Naru and Motoko, Haru-chan,” responds
Keitaro in all seriousness, “Because something needs to give, and it will no
longer be me".
"Okay, sweetie. I trust you,” says Haruka more relaxed resting her head on his
chest, and then changing tack adds, “And oh yes, I loved my birthday present by
the way".
She tilts her head up at him and smiles.
"Glad to hear it, Haru-chan. But, where did you ever get an affinity for
rawhide bullwhips anyway?" he asks in response to his lover's statement.
It took him almost a month to find her such a rare, high quality item like the
ones she has collected in the past. He know that she has six of them coiled up
on the walls out in her bedroom and knows that there more stored away in her
huge walk-in closet. Haruka is also an expert with the bullwhip as some have
found out in the past.
"Everyone has to have a hobby, sweetie. Plus, Harumi-chan likes to look at them
when she comes over," says Haruka enigmatically.
"To each their own, I guess," responds Keitaro offhandedly trying not to think
anymore tonight.
Haruka softly moans when he reaches up and gently fondles her large tits.
Neither one of them says another word as they soak in peace.
Afterwards, they dry off with soft towels and crawl back naked into her king-
sized bed. Before they go to sleep, they share one last kiss.
Snuggling into him, she is out like a light. He smiles at her for a moment
before joining her.
Right after dawn tomorrow morning, most of the others up at the Hinata will
witness something different from their Kanrinin.
Keitaro is ready to reveal his true self…
