AN: Hey guys! This will be my first fic ever. I've read through almost all of the other fics on here that have over 30k words to feel my way through. I don't know exactly what I'm going to put into this thing so bear with me. Love Hina was one of my favorite anime/mangas. I'm currently reading my way through Mahou Sensei Negima! Which is another manga by Ken Akamatsu. I highly suggest a read through if you enjoy Love Hina! This fic will be mostly UC (unoriginal content), but will derail from the main story line shortly after Keitaro, Naru, and Mutsumi were in the sandbox as kids I.E the first chapter. *Small update - This fic WILL reach over 100,000 words, I so promise!*

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Hina and if Ken decides that he wants to crush my little dream world I'll be severely disappointed. I just like the thought of playing with another man's toys!

Explanation of actions and stuff: They are self explanatory.

*****************************************************

Lazy sunlight spilled onto a small playground where two children played. They were building a small sandcastle in the warm summer wind. One of the childen was a boy with short dark hair and intelligent dark brown eyes. The other child was a little girl with golden brown hair and sparkling light brown eyes. They laughed as the light and wind danced around them, swirling leaves here and there.

"Hey Kei-kun", the little girl said, while slapping more sand on top.

"Hrm", stated Kei-kun, distracted, as he looked at the sand castle from the other side to make sure there was enough support.

"Did you know that when two people get into Todai together that they will find eternal happiness?"

The little girl squinted up at Kei-kun as the sun was shining brightly over his shoulder.

Kei opened his mouth and…

Keitaro woke up in a sweat. The blankets on his futon were tangled up around his legs. Wiping the sweat off his brow he frowned.

"It's that dream again"

"I wonder who that little girl was…"

Keitaro swung his legs over the side of the futon and yawned, scratching his sides in the process. "Geeze these late night study sessions are killing me" he exclaimed standing up, wobbling over to the bathroom.

Taking care of his morning toilets he walked down stairs ready for another day of extreme study. Getting to the bottom he started to call for his mom when a fist crashed into the side of his face. "UGU"! Falling over and crashing into the wall he shouted "WHAT THE FUCK"!

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH YOUNG MAN", his mother shouted back while shaking the pain out of her hand.

"Your father wants to talk to you about something, RIGHT NOW!"

Keitaro blinked from his upside down postion against the wall. He flipped himself upright and brushed the dust off of his clothes as he looked at the wall with glum eyes

"I just know that they are going to make me pay for that" Keitaro whispered to himself, shaking the clouds out of his head.

Turning around he was confronted with glowing red eyes.

"Mo..mo…mom?" Keitaro said while backing up.

Keitaro felt his back hit the wall while she stalked him with a rolling pin.

"What did you say" his mother said softly.

Keitaro felt her words slip into his ears and squeeze his brain. He screamed and tried to run for the den where his father was.

Feeling the dark presence coming up behind him he screamed like a little girl. He looked over his shoulder to see his mother standing in the entry way to the den with murder dripping from her eyes.

"Keitaro, this is the day that your insignificant life; ENDS", Keitaro's mom said through clenched teeth.

Keitaro turned back around to make a run for the front door. *WHAM* Keitaro's conscience was fleeting as a foot slammed into his face.

His father shook his foot trying to un-lodge it from Keitaro's nose.

"Ugh, Keitaro". "When was the last time that you cleaned that thing out", Keitaro's father said disgustedly while shaking his foot loose.

Keitaro got up off the floor and winced as he felt a hand drop on his shoulder. Whimpering, he was spun around and kneed in the crotch, multiple times. Tears streamed down his face as the breath was beaten from his body through his junk.

"Next time", his mother declared "If you want to disrespect me, or your father, you will need to speak a little softer!"

Keitaro wheezed out an apology and tried to stand up. Getting half way up, he gimped over to the stuffed chair in the corner and eased himself down into it.

"You wanted to talk to me dad?" said Keitaro, trying not to rub his dangly bits in front of his mother and father.

His father stood up and walked over to where Keitaro was sitting. Kneeling down he said, "Keitaro, it's time that you did something with your life."

"I understand that you like martial arts, but there comes a time in every man's life where he has to step up to the plate."

Keitaro blinked, "I thought that you liked me staying at home."

"I do a lot of the chores for you…"

Keitaro's father looked at him his eyes slightly shining with fear, "Well your mother wants…"

"Time to man up, is what time it is!" Keitaro's mom stated, glaring at Keitaro.

"It's about time that you grew up a little bit and decided what to do with your life."

Keitaro's mom walked over to him and grabbed him by the lapels.

"You really need to find a woman as well," she said while shaking Keitaro back and forth.

Setting him down, she sat down next to Keitaro's father and hrmphed noisily.

Keitaro looked at his parents and opened his mouth then closed it again. This continued for a couple of minutes before he actually spoke.

"Well… mom, dad, I guess I could try to get into college"

Keitaro's parents had smiles like sharks. "Well son, let's get you started…"
