Chapter 28

Nagisa was walking and making her way to the place where Kagura had told her to go. Meanwhile a limo was being driven. It was inside in the back of the limo was Chisato and Yoshinari. Chisato smiled while Yoshinari frowned.

"Tell me Chisato," Yoshinari spoke, "What do you hope to accomplish?"

Chisato still smiled and it was at Yoshinari's question.

"What I hope to accomplish?" Chisato replied, "Ha, what you'll see is something that will teach you a lesson."

"You intend to use my cousin just to teach me a lesson?" Yoshinari asked.

"Not just you," Chisato said, "there is someone else who has been annoying to my friend."

"Why do this?" Yoshinari asked, "Why go so far?"

"Do you really need to ask why?" Chisato replied annoyed.

"Nothing will change," Yoshinari said, "in the end, I don't know what you and your 'friend' is planning but it will not get you far in the end. You should know considering what happened to those guys you sent after me years ago."

"Don't say it Yoshinari!" Chisato said upset, "After what you did to them…"

"It was retaliation," Yoshinari said, "I'm sure they now regret of having to ever listen to you," Yoshinari had a dark expression, "not it does them any good now."

Chisato got angry and grabbed Yoshinari by the collar of his shirt and Yoshinari just looked at Chisato with the expression of looking down on her. Chisato got angry and was reminded of the expression Keitaro gave to Naru after the latter had beaten the former. Chisato calmed down and let go of Yoshinari's collar. Yoshinari fixed his collar like it was no big deal.

"You won't act so mighty after what you see," Chisato said as she smiled feeling confident, "you're going to know what it feels like to be disrespected and humiliated."

"Hmph, I doubt it," Yoshinari said, "besides, if you really have my cousin Keitaro then I'm not really worried."

"That's not how you were when I showed you the picture," Chisato rebuked.

"I was annoyed, not worried," Yoshinari clarified.

"Hmph, you can talk all tough you want," Chisato said, "you won't act like that in the end."

"It's over and done with," Yoshinari said in his head.

Meanwhile in the building, Keitaro sighed as he calmed himself down.

"Oh well, I'm not going to play this stupid game," Keitaro commented.

"This isn't a game Keitaro," Mutsumi said.

"Mutsumi, I'm going to do my part," Keitaro said, "I'm going to protect the two that you are trying to lure in. I care about them. As for you Mutsumi," Keitaro shook his head, "I don't care about you and Naru," Keitaro brought out his arms as he was able to free himself, "not anymore."

Kagura and Mutsumi were shocked to see that Keitaro got freed from his binds.

"Keitaro, when did you…?" Mutsumi spoke.

Keitaro just looked at Mutsumi and Kagura and he grinned.

"Like I said, I'm not going to play this stupid game," Keitaro said as he stood up from the chair.

"How did you get out of your binding?" Kagura asked.

"It wasn't the first time that I was held against my will," Keitaro said, "it's just only this time I have learned how to get out of this like so."

Kagura clenched her teeth as she was upset and annoyed.

"Sit back down now," Kagura demanded pointing at Keitaro.

"Nope," Keitaro responded.

"Do what I say and sit back down now," Kagura insisted.

"Not happening," Keitaro said, "I'm leaving."

Keitaro started to walk and Kagura got agitated.

"Did you not hear me!?" Kagura said angrily, "You don't just get to leave!"

Kagura rushed over to grab Keitaro but Keitaro easily dodged and then quickly grabbed Kagura's arm and then he flipped her over. Kagura hit the floor and she screamed in pain.

"Keitaro!" Mutsumi said being shocked and then rushed towards Keitaro, "Keitaro, please—"

Keitaro quickly let go of Kagura's hand and moved away in which Mutsumi looked at Keitaro and then she tripped on Kagura's leg and fell on the floor as Kagura yelped from the contact on her leg.

"That's just embarrassing," Keitaro said, "but anyway, I'm leaving."

"No, you can't leave!" Kagura said as she got up.

"Watch me," Keitaro said.

Keitaro turned and started to walk away and then he got to the door. He opened the door and was surprised to see Nagisa and Nagisa was surprised to see Keitaro.

"Keitaro," Nagisa said.

"Huh, Nagisa?" Keitaro said surprised, "You're here already."

"Yeah, I was told to come here," Nagisa said but shook her head, "never mind that for now, Keitaro, are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"Oh no, I'm fine," Keitaro assured, "and if you're looking for Kagura…"

Keitaro showed Nagisa where Kagura was who was looking upset and saw Mutsumi on the ground. Nagisa was confused on what was going on but she had a feeling that Keitaro was able to take care of himself and figured that there was no need for her to be so worried.

"Nagisa?" Keitaro spoke.

"Huh?" Nagisa replied.

"You were called here by Kagura, right?" Keitaro asked.

"…Yes I was," Nagisa replied, "Did she tell you?"

"Sort of, yes," Keitaro said, "and I'm assuming that my cousin Yoshinari is being called here as well… properly coming here with Chisato."

"Do you think so?" Nagisa asked.

"Yeah," Keitaro replied, "so I'll wait for them to get here and surprise Chisato."

"I see," Nagisa said with a smile, "do you mind if I stay with you?"

"No of course I don't mind," Keitaro said happily.

Nagisa's cheeks turned red as she was pleased and Mutsumi saw what was going between Keitaro and Nagisa and she was not happy with what she was seeing.

"Keitaro, why?" Mutsumi asked upset.

"What?" Keitaro responded annoyed with Mutsumi.

"Why are you willing to betray Naru like this?" Mutsumi asked as she got herself up, "Are you that cold hearted? Are you that selfish?" Mutsumi shook her head as she looked sad, "Keitaro, why must you be like this?"

Keitaro was irritated and couldn't stand that Mutsumi was still insisting on something that was never going to work and that he had no intention for in the first place.

"Mutsumi, I don't know how else I can tell you," Keitaro said, "I have said it to you already so many times and even Naru herself has said it to you. You need to give it up because your excessive whining and obsession about me and Naru getting back together is just annoying, plain and simple."

Mutsumi had her head down and she also clenched her fist.

"How can you say that?" Mutsumi asked.

"Listen, you need to stop," Nagisa said, "can't you see that what you're doing is wrong. You need to stop. Stop insisting on forcing people to do what you want. You have no right to take away other people's freewill."

"If only he had not met you," Mutsumi said bitterly towards Nagisa, "Keitaro and Naru would have been able to worked things out."

"Stop it," Keitaro said, "Nagisa is not to blame. Don't you dare blame her or my cousin Yoshinari for that matter. This is me making my own choices. The thing is that you know it to be true but you refuse to face that hard fact and you rather delude yourself in your fantasies."

"F-Fantasies?" Mutsumi responded upset, "I just wanted people that I care about to be happy. Naru was sick and frail as a little girl and so I gave up my own happiness for Naru's sake. I figured that you Keitaro would take care of her and be with her because I knew you were kind. The promise for Tokyo University was motivation to get better and be happy and I gave it up for myself for Naru because I was sad of how she wasn't able to truly have fun. Are you really going to say that everything that I've done has been for nothing?" Mutsumi looked at Keitaro with tears in her eyes, "Are you going to say that I wasted my time and energy and my efforts for absolutely no reason all this time, for all these years?"

"…I think you already know the answers to the questions you just asked," Keitaro said.

The sound of the car was heard and the others in the building heard it. Not long after that, the door opened again and it was Chisato and Yoshinari. Chisato was shocked in what she was seeing and Yoshinari was pleased.

"Hi Keitaro," Yoshinari greeted casually.

"Hi Yoshinari," Keitaro casually greeted back.

"Hi there," Nagisa said, "you must be Keitaro's cousin Yoshinari."

"Yeah and I take it that you're Nagisa," Yoshinari replied, "My cousin speaks so fondly of you."

"Oh really," Nagisa replied as she was flattered.

Nagisa looked at Keitaro who chuckled and rubbed the back of his head blushing.

"Hey, what the hell is this?" Chisato asked annoyed, "Keitaro, why are you—"

"Oh, I simply got myself out," Keitaro said showing his hands.

Chisato was annoyed and then she looked at Yoshinari who just smiled much to Chisato's disdain.

"It's quite obvious that whatever it was that you wanted me to see did not come to pass," Yoshinari said.

"And with that," Nagisa said, "are you and Kagura done playing your stupid little games?"

Kagura and Chisato were feeling red. They both looked at each other and then after a bit of pause they looked at the three people with disdain.

"You two think you're funny?" Chisato asked, "You think that you've won. You two and you Keitaro, you three think that you won. You three think that this is over and that you have gotten the best over us."

"You three don't get it," Kagura said as she was feeling confident, "we don't lose. The two of us, me and Chisato, we don't lose. We never lose, we always win and you're going to see that."

"So yeah, the plan didn't work and you Keitaro didn't respond as we thought that you would but you know what, that's okay," Chisato said, "we can still make you pay."

Chisato took out something and pressed a button. It was then that people showed up and it was a gang of thugs.

"Huh, what is this?" Keitaro asked.

Yoshinari and Nagisa looked around seeing a number of thugs that just showed up and surrounded them and Mutsumi was surprised. It was something that Mutsumi was not aware of.

"Hey, what's going on?" Mutsumi asked, "Who are these people?"

"Hey, so do we still go with the plan?" One of the gang members asked.

"Yes, just add him as one of the targets as well," Kagura said as she pointed at Keitaro.

"Oh me?" Keitaro asked.

"Oh brother," Yoshinari said, "this is just like what happened in high school."

"Huh, this happened before?" Nagisa asked.

"Yeah and that was unfortunately my fault," Keitaro said feeling ashamed.

"Don't beat yourself too much on it Keitaro," Yoshinari said, "besides, looking back, we may have judged you too harshly on that incident."

"No, it really was my fault for being so stupid and naïve," Keitaro insisted.

"Wait a minute," Mutsumi said as she was confused, "what's going on here?"

Suddenly someone had arrived and the person panted. The others looked and saw that it was Naru who looked as though she was out of breath. After catching her breath, Naru sighed with relief.

"Okay, I made it," Naru said and then she looked at what was going on, "oh, so this is happening."

"Huh, who is this?" Nagisa asked.

"Naru," Keitaro said.

"Naru?" Nagisa asked and then looked at Naru, "Oh so this is her, this is Naru Narusegawa."

"Naru, you running back here means you didn't want to miss the show," Kagura said, "but don't worry, you made it back."

"Well actually, it was something else," Naru said.

"Something else?" Chisato asked as she and Kagura were confused.

"I was being chased by Motoko," Naru said with a frown.

"Motoko?" Keitaro asked surprised.

"Motoko?" Nagisa asked surprised.

"Motoko?" Kagura asked and then she looked at Nagisa seeing her expression and then realized, "wait, Motoko? As in Motoko Aoyama, Nagisa's cousin?"

"Yes," Naru said with a frown.

Flashback: Hinata Park

"They are horrible people Naru," Motoko said, "in fact one of them, Kagura Hajime is a killer."

"That was an accident," Naru replied.

Motoko was shocked, "Wait, what? Naru, did she tell you that?"

"Yes Kagura did tell me what happened," Naru replied, "She never intended to kill someone and I admit that I was quite disturbed by it…but she went through the court and they deemed Takeru Oyame's death as an accident."

"That doesn't make it any better!" Motoko said upset, "It doesn't change the fact that she killed someone and you're okay associating with someone like that? I thought you were better than that!"

"Nothing's going to happen!" Naru insisted, "And Keitaro is going to get taught a lesson and his cousin and your cousin are going to get off their high horses. Don't you see Motoko? I don't understand why are you're upset? Why are you against this? Why are you so concern for that idiot pervert who ruined our lives in the Hinata Inn?"

Motoko was frustrated and couldn't believe what was going on and at the same time she knew why Naru was going down this path.

"Naru, I'm going to say this for your sake," Motoko said, "please don't go through with this. Help us stop them."

"Motoko…" Naru said surprised.

"Naru, if you go down this path, it will only be worse for you and you'll suffer the consequences for your actions," Motoko said, "Naru, I'm begging you please, don't do this. You and Mutsumi should get out of this," Motoko smiled, "if you and Mutsumi stop this, you won't get much trouble. If you change your minds on this, I can talk to Keitaro and convince him and my family on your behalf."

Naru was shocked and she had the expression of someone who felt betrayed.

"You let him get to you, didn't you?" Naru asked upset.

"Naru," Motoko said.

"I should have known," Naru said angrily, "you let that pervert get to you or maybe cracked under the pressure of your sister who betrayed you. So you betray me as well?"

"Naru, you're not making any sense," Motoko said, "Just please calm down."

"No, I won't listen to you!" Naru replied angrily, "I thought you were better than this! But I guess in the end, you're the same as the others and you just buckle down," Naru sneered at Motoko, "I guess you're not much of a warrior after all or maybe you lost it when you were sent back to Kyoto."

Motoko frowned as she didn't like the things that Naru had said.

"You don't know a damn thing," Motoko said coldly, "You're just as bad as I was or worse!"

"Excuse me?" Naru replied upset at Motoko's tone.

"You heard me Naru," Motoko said, "You really don't know anything. I didn't know anything either but I finally opened my eyes and finally realized the things that were obvious but I ignored them. Naru, I'm going to be honest with you. I know what you and Mutsumi are planning with those rotten girls but all you two are doing is digger yourselves deeper to the point where you'll never be able to recover."

"You don't know a damn thing Motoko," Naru replied back, "at least I haven't forgotten my resolve and thrown away my pride."

"I admit that I don't have the right to talk about pride," Motoko replied, "but Naru that goes the same with you," Motoko sighed, "well it seems that woman that tipped us was right."

"Woman?" Naru asked, "What woman?"

"Someone who knows how vile Kagura Hajime is," Motoko said.

"What?" Naru reacted surprised.

Flashback End

Naru frowned finishing what telling what had happened in the park.

"It took me a while but I was able to lose her," Naru said, "it would be a problem if she interfered."

"I'm so proud of her," Nagisa suddenly said.

"What was that?" Kagura replied glaring at Nagisa.

"I'm so proud of my cousin," Nagisa said, "it sounds like she's a better person."

"Yeah it does," Keitaro said, "I'm glad Motoko has changed for the better."

"Of course you would be glad," Naru snidely responded, "after all you did it. You made her into a coward."

"I didn't do anything and Motoko doesn't sound like a coward to me," Keitaro said, "it sounds to me that she has a clear mindset. I say she's better for it."

"You would say that," Naru said with disgust.

"You know what you can make all the praises that you want," Chisato said, "it won't help you three in your predicament."

"That's right so with that," Kagura said, "we're going to be taking our leave."

"Whoa, whoa, hold on," Keitaro said, "you going to just leave?"

"Yeah and since you three seem so close, you can suffer together," Chisato said, "Yoshinari Urashima and Nagisa Aoyama and… Keitaro Urashima," Chisato turned to the thugs, "hurt them all."

"Now hold on," Yoshinari said, "you two are serious that you're just going to leave?"

"We are," Kagura said, "Naru, you're coming with us, right?"

"I guess," Naru said, "I wanted to see it personally but considering that Motoko was chasing me, I guess we shouldn't stick around any longer."

"It'll be fine when we get to my place," Kagura said, "I'll talk to my father."

"Mutsumi, let's go," Chisato said, "Hurry up."

"But things haven't been solved yet and who are these people?" Mutsumi asked with concern, "You two never told me about any of this."

"Just forget it Mutsumi," Chisato said waving it off, "it was never going to work. Besides, it was a need to know bases about these people we hired and… you simply didn't need to know at the time."

"Wha…?" Mutsumi was wide eyed to hear what Chisato said, "But Chisato, Kagura, we were going to help Keitaro. Make him see things and help him work things out with Naru. This is not going to help by having these people cause harm to him."

"Damn it Mutsumi, will you just shut up about it?" Naru spoke angrily.

"Are you still going on with that?" Kagura asked, "A child wouldn't be so naïve as you are right now."

Mutsumi was shocked, "Then what was the point? Why did say that you would help me?"

"Because they just said it because it was a means to an end to them," Keitaro said.

"Huh?" Mutsumi said still shocked as she looked at Keitaro.

"You were just part of their plan," Keitaro said, "they never had any intention to really help you 'help me'. It was obvious but you were so closed minded in what you wanted to happen that you were too blind to see that Kagura and Chisato were obviously just using you. They had you do some things for them in order to get me so that it would help their revenge against Yoshinari and Nagisa but since I was not giving in and knowing the kind of people they were, it was sort of messing up their plans so they resorted to kidnapping me and doing this and all the while you were too blind and naïve to really see what was going on. Even Naru saw what was going on and she went with it just because she blames me for all the misery she brought upon herself."

"Shut up Keitaro!" Naru responded angrily, "It was you, not me, you! You caused all the misery that I suffered for it."

"You still refuse to take responsibility," Yoshinari said, "How can any take you seriously?"

"I can't believe that my cousin was actually friends with someone like you," Nagisa added.

"Shut up," Naru said, "you two don't know anything!"

"T-That's not true, isn't it?" Mutsumi asked shocked and looked at Chisato and Kagura, "Please… tell Keitaro that it's not true. Hey…"

Mutsumi slowly went to Chisato and Kagura who just frowned.

"Please say that's not true," Mutsumi pleaded, "what was just said was not true. We're friends, aren't we?"

Chisato sighed and then she suddenly slapped Mutsumi hard in the face and caused her to fall on the floor. Keitaro, Yoshinari, and Nagisa were shocked at what Chisato had just done and Kagura just looked at Mutsumi with a glare. Even Naru was shocked in what Chisato had just done.

"Will you just shut the hell up?" Chisato asked as she was annoyed, "Even Naru said that she didn't want to work things out with Keitaro so what makes you think that after all that was said, all that you heard that things were going to go as you wanted?"

"It was so easy to have you wrapped around our fingers," Kagura said and then she frowned, "but even so, we didn't think that you were so… well so stupid. I mean there has to be a limit of how stupid someone can be, right?"

"Why on earth would we ever actually be friends with someone like you?" Chisato said, "That is the kind of thing why even Naru can't stand you."

"Stop it please," Mutsumi said as she was starting to breaking down, "we're friends. You said it that we're friends."

"Hey you three," Kagura said to three thugs and then she pointed at Mutsumi, "deal with her as well."

"Wait what?" Mutsumi replied shocked, "No what are you…?" Mutsumi shook her head in disbelief, "No don't do this."

"Wait a minute," Naru said surprised, "hold on—"

There were sudden groans and several thugs were on the ground. Chisato and Kagura were surprised and they looked and saw that it was Yoshinari and Keitaro who took out the several thugs. Nagisa then pummel and defeated four thugs on her own and they fell on the ground in pain.

"The hell?" Kagura said surprised.

"You didn't think that it was going to be so easy, did you?" Nagisa said.

Three thugs then grabbed Mutsumi who was pleading and crying to let them go and pleaded them not to hurt her. Keitaro, Yoshinari, and Nagisa were about to stop them but then the three thugs were suddenly taken out. It was a surprise to the others and then they saw who it was that took them down and it was Motoko who used a bokken.

"Motoko?" Keitaro spoke surprised.

"Glad I made it in time," Motoko said and then she saw Keitaro, "Keitaro, are you all right?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Keitaro said.

"Nagisa, are you hurt?" Motoko asked.

"No, I'm fine," Nagisa said, "I'm surprised that you're here."

"Wait, who…" Kagura spoke and the realized, "wait, Motoko? You're Nagisa's cousin."

Motoko glared at Kagura and Chisato, "You vile witches… I will not allow you to hurt anymore people."

Urashima Residence

Hina was meeting with her son Kyoshiro and her daughter-in-law Nanami.

"Listen Kyoshiro and Nanami," Hina said, "I am so sorry about this. I had no idea that Naru and Mutsumi would get involved with those two horrible girls. I told Mutsumi to not get involved with them," Hina shook her head in disbelief, "I can't believe she would do this and worse she got Naru involved."

"But it's all true," Kyoshiro said, "as I called you and told you about it."

"I know but listen," Hina said, "I'll handle this."

"No, you will not," Nanami said.

"Excuse me?" Hina replied surprised.

"You heard her," Kyoshiro said, "you will not get involved in this. We already have the police on it. Of course it seems that the Aoyamas are getting involved as well as Keitaro's friends."

"That's even more reason that I should get involved," Hina insisted.

"Mom, don't," Kyoshiro insisted, "you'll just mess things up and make things complicated."

"Kyoshiro," Hina replied upset.

"Besides, you already messed things up already in the past," Kyoshiro added.

"Kyoshiro," Hina said upset, "that was uncalled for."

"It's the truth Mom," Kyoshiro said, "look what happened in the past and recently."

"How can you say that to me?" Hina said upset, "Me, your own mother."

"I don't like saying things like that to you," Kyoshiro said, "but you caused trouble. You put Keitaro in an unsafe environment and you enable most of the girls in the inn of their terrible habits. Do I need to go anything further on the subject?"

"It wasn't supposed to be like this," Hina said, "I didn't know."

"You can't use that as an excuse," Nanami said.

"Nanami, please," Hina said, "it's not like that."

"Well you'll have to excuse us if we don't believe you," Nanami said upset, "that selfish and horrible brat… you're willing to defend her and coddle her and yet you'll put my own son in danger because of what you wanted."

"You think I like what happened?" Hina said angrily, "Do you really take me as someone who enjoys seeing my own grandchild harmed?"

"You make excuses for those who do," Nanami said, "just like what happened at the Kuromitsu Inn."

"That's just hitting below the belt," Hina said getting more upset.

"Anyway Mom, you're not getting involved," Kyoshiro said, "there are others doing just that and with that we don't have to worry and… you won't be able to make excuses for Saori's horrible daughter and Natsumi's foolish daughter this time."

Hina clenched her teeth upset at the things her son and daughter-in-law said to her and cursed the fact that Kagura Hajime and Chisato Ichimura were around and involved Mutsumi and Naru.

An Abandoned Building

Motoko approached Keitaro, Nagisa, and Yoshinari and saw the thugs that were hired on the ground and in pain.

"I see that you three did it," Motoko said and then sighed, "It seems that my worries were groundless."

"Oh you were worried about us?" Nagisa asked.

"Yes I was," Motoko said and then looked away feeling embarrassed.

"Thanks for coming with the intent to help us," Keitaro said.

Motoko was surprised and looked at Keitaro who smiled. Motoko was caught off guard and Nagisa smiled at Motoko as well.

"Y-You're welcome," Motoko said, "I-It was the least I could do… to make amends."

"I don't believe this," Naru said upset, "how Motoko? How did you find this place?"

"It wasn't hard," Motoko said glaring at Naru, "you didn't really lose me as you thought you did. The truth is I'm not the only one here."

"Wait, what?" Kagura replied.

"Motoko, what are you—" Naru spoke.

"So you're the rotten girls that we've heard about," Tsuruko's voice said.

Naru, Mutsumi, Chisato, and Kagura were surprised and they turned to see Tsuruko along with Kanako.

"Kanako," Keitaro said happily.

"Tsuruko," Nagisa said happily.

"Keitaro, you're okay," Kanako said with relief.

"Yeah I am," Keitaro said.

"Yoshinari, I'm glad to see that you're okay as well," Kanako said.

"Thanks Kanako," Yoshinari said with a smile.

"Aunt Marumi was confident that you would be fine but Uncle Sosuke was so worried," Kanako said.

"Yeah, that's my dad," Yoshinari said although he was touched.

Kanako then turned to Naru with a hateful glare which caught Naru a bit of surprise.

"Naru, you would sink so low to have my brother and my cousin hurt," Kanako said as she felt her blood boil, "I should beat you to a bloody pulp right now."

"No, stay away," Naru said and stepped back.

"Calm yourself Kanako," Tsuruko said as she placed her hand on Kanako's shoulder, "there's no need for you to waste your energy on her. She's not worth your fists."

"But even so…" Kanako replied.

"Although," Tsuruko said as she looked around, "it seems that you three didn't need our help," Tsuruko sighed and then turned to the side, "they took care of things on their end."

"Ah man," Ranma's voice said, "I guess we shouldn't be surprised."

"Well this is Keitaro and my sister we're talking about," Kazuya's voice said.

More people showed up it were Kazuya, Ranma, Duncan, Zack, Haitani, and Shirai and they all greeted Keitaro, Nagisa, and Yoshinari. The three in question were surprised they came to help them. Kagura and Chisato couldn't believe what was happening and they looked at Naru and figured that she was responsible for leading them here and then they suddenly heard sirens. They were shocked to hear the sirens and sure enough, they looked outside and saw several police cars had just arrived.

"Is that the police?" Naru asked surprised.

"You brought them here," Chisato said upset.

"Yeah we did," Haitani said.

"The police have actually been looking in about you two for some time," Kanako said, "and these thugs you seemed to have hired."

"That we have," A male voice said.

A police officer showed up along with Nyamo and it was Officer Nikawa. Naru was shocked and was shocked to see Nyamo.

"Nyamo?" Naru spoke, "Is that you?"

"Yes it is," Nyamo said, "You're a horrible person Naru. You were going along to hurt Keitaro. You are a terrible person."

"Don't you start as well," Naru said upset.

Naru was about to walk towards Nyamo and Nyamo was ready to retaliate if Naru had decided to attack her but Naru was stopped by Motoko.

"Don't even think about it," Motoko said.

"I wasn't even going to do anything but are you seriously stopping me?" Naru said angrily at Motoko, "Do you really think you're in position to do so? After all you smacked Shinobu or did you forget that?"

"I didn't forget and what I did was despicable," Motoko said, "and I intend to apologize for my heinous behavior towards Shinobu but that doesn't mean that I'm just going to stand by and allow you to do any harm to Nyamo."

"You don't have to worry," Nyamo assured, "even if she tries, I can defend myself."

Ranma responded happily as he felt proud.

"Nyamo knows how to defend herself," Ranma said.

More police officers showed up and were able to get the gang of thugs to surrender.

"Kagura Hajime," Nikawa spoke, "Chisato Ichimura, Naru Narusegawa," Nikawa saw Mutsumi who looked felt broken, "and Mutsumi Otohime. You four are under arrest for kidnapping and solicitation of violence."

"No, this can't be real," Naru said shocked.

"This is no joke," Nikawa said.

Other police officers showed up and had handcuffs.

"Put your hands behind your back ladies," Another officer said.

Mutsumi just looked on and had a sad expression as she simply complied with the officers. Naru was about to resist and point at Keitaro to blame but she looked at the others who glared at her and clenched her teeth. For Naru, it was like what happened at the Kuromitsu Inn in Ikebukuro all over again. Naru was frustrated and just did what she was told as an officer placed handcuffs on Naru and she had tears streaming from her eyes and clenched her teeth. Chisato and Kagura looked on as officers were approaching them. Kagura looked on and shook her head and made a decision.

"Chisato," Kagura said.

"What is it?" Chisato replied.

"It's nothing personal okay," Kagura said.

"Wait what?" Chisato replied surprised, "What are you—"

Kagura suddenly pushed Chisato to the approaching officers and Kagura quickly went and threw the chair that they had Keitaro sat in and it went to the other officers including Nikawa. It caught the police officers by surprise and they looked and saw Kagura run as fast as she could as she escaped from the other side of the building. The officers were shocked and scrambled to go after her while Chisato was quickly placed with handcuffs. Chisato couldn't believe what had just happened and seeing that Kagura just practically threw her to the wolves.

"Kagura!" Chisato yelled, "Kagura, you bitch!"

Keitaro, Yoshinari, and Nagisa were shocked in what they saw as did everyone else.

"Hey, what just happened?" Yoshinari asked.

"It seems that Kagura sacrificed Chisato to save her own skin," Nagisa said.

"Kagura!" Naru yelled as she was still in handcuffs, "Kagura… are you kidding me?!"

Mutsumi just looks on and then a few moments she laughed sadly.

"I see," Mutsumi said sadly, "not even loyalty to each other," Mutsumi continued to laugh sadly, "I can't believe… I can't believe just how stupid I was."

Kagura was able to outrun and lose the officers chasing her and as she was outside, she saw the limo that was hidden and got in.

"Eita, let's go!" Kagura ordered.

The limo took off before the officers that had been chasing Kagura noticed. After some time and getting some good miles away from the area, Kagura sighed in relief as she was riding in her limo.

"Unfortunate for Chisato," Kagura said, "but I can't allow myself to get arrested. S-She'll be fine. I don't know about Naru and Mutsumi served her purpose. Chisato will be fine," Kagura nodded convincing herself, "yeah, she'll be fine. I'm sure she'll understand. Anyway Eita, take me to the airport. With the way things are going, I can't stay here. I'll get Keitaro and that bitch Nagisa for this. I won't let them get away in humiliating me like they did."

"That's not going to happen," A female voice said.

Kagura was shocked and looked at the limo driver.

"Hey, who are you?" Kagura asked, "Where's Eita?"

The limo did a sudden stop and Kagura wondered what was going on. The driver turned and showed her face and it surprised Kagura to see that it was Mayako.

"M-Mayako?" Kagura spoke, "What are you doing? Why are you in my limo and where's Eita? Where's my butler?"

Mayako looked at Kagura with a serious expression and Kagura was confused with what was going on.

"Seriously Mayako, what is going on?" Kagura asked, "Are you going to answer or are you just going to look at me all weird?"

"Your butler won't be around for you," Mayako said.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Kagura asked.

"He was picked up a while back," Mayako said.

"Picked up?" Kagura asked, "By whom?"

"I had someone take him," Mayako said, "and not only, your father has been picked up by the police earlier today."

"Wait, what?" Kagura replied shocked, "What's going on?"

"Your father finally got caught," Mayako said, "he got caught of all of his criminal activities that he had been involved in and covering up."

"No way," Kagura replied in disbelief, "you're lying."

"I assure I'm not," Mayako said, "I should know because I'm the one that gathered all the evidence against your father and presented them to the police. The police had been looking into your father for some time and I simply gave them what they needed."

"What's going on Mayako?" Kagura asked as she was feeling livid, "What is the meaning of this? Why has my father been caught and taken to the police? What happened to my butler? Where did you have him taken to and by whom?"

"There's someone you need to see," Mayako said, "look at her left."

Kagura was confused and she looked to her left and saw a something moving. It was something that was covered in a black cloth.

"What is this?" Kagura asked.

"It's not what Kagura," Mayako said, "It's more of whom."

"Huh?" Kagura asked confused.

Kagura removed the black cloth and she was shocked to see that it was a girl who was the same age as her. This girl had short brown hair and wore glasses and girl looked terrified.

"Akemi?" Kagura said surprised.

"K-Kagura," Akemi said.

"Yes Kagura, it's your old friend Akemi Kuga," Mayako said, "the last time you two saw each other was when you killed my little brother after Akemi made the false statement of him being perverted with her."

"N-Now hang on," Akemi said still upset and terrified, "you can't hold it against me! She's the one that killed him!" Akemi frantically pointed at Kagura, "Kagura killed Takeru!"

"You bitch!" Kagura responded angrily towards Akemi, "You told me that he was sexually harassing you and making perverted advances towards you. You lied to me and all because he ignored your advances!"

"It was just a joke!" Akemi defended, "Besides I didn't think you were actually going to go crazy and actually kill him. It's not my fault that you went all ax-crazy!"

"You bitch!" Kagura responded livid, "I should have killed you! You made me look stupid!"

Kagura angrily grabbed on Akemi and Akemi resisted in response.

"Let me go!" Akemi shouted, "It's not my fault! It's not my fault! I didn't kill Takeru! You did it, you killed him!"

"You instigated it!" Mayako spoke strongly, "You're just a much to blame for my brother's death."

"Like I said, it was just a joke!" Akemi insisted as she pushed Kagura off her, "It's not my fault!"

"Fine, keep refusing to take responsibility, keep on lying," Mayako said, "In the end, it doesn't matter," Mayako turned to the front, "the three of us are to blame for my brother's wrongful death. You Akemi for instigating the incident knowing full well of how Kagura would respond, Kagura of course for killing my little brother, and me for practically forcing my brother in such a terrible situation and environment. But that is why the three of us are here together right now."

"M-Mayako," Kagura said, "what's going on? You knew that I never really meant to kill Takeru. It was a terrible accident and besides…" Kagura pointed at Akemi, "it's her fault."

"You really are a fool Kagura," Mayako said, "I'm amazed that you actually believed that I would be okay with you after you murdered the only family that I had. My life became meaningless after Takeru died."

"Then why did you act like you understood if you really felt this way?" Kagura asked.

"It's amazing after what you did, you acted so arrogant about it," Mayako said upset, "acting like you didn't do anything wrong. I was stupid to think that you were be remorseful but you weren't at all and worse is that you have the audacity to make comments about how my little brother was so stupid," Mayako had tears streaming from her eyes, "do you have any idea how hurtful is?" Mayako shook her head, "Of course not because in the end, all you care about is yourself. I was stupid to have my brother go to you. I practically placed him there to die… but that's why we're here now."

"What the hell do you plan to do?" Akemi asked upset, "Where are we going?"

"To receive our just punishments for what we did to Takeru," Mayako said with a sad smile.

"Wait a minute," Kagura said, "what does that mean? Answer me Mayako!"

"People will know and start looking for us," Mayako said, "but by the time they do find us, it'll already be all over."

"All… over?" Akemi asked as now she and Kagura were starting to get horrified.

Mayako had sad smile.

Flashback: Cemetery

"Kagura will stop by later on," Mayako said surprising Nagisa.

"What?" Nagisa spoke surprised, "Why?"

"She wants to give her prayers to him as well," Mayako explained, "We ran into each other at the park and she told me that she wanted to pay her respects. I told her that if she really meant that then she should stop by and she said she would be here."

"Mayako, why would you do that? She's the one who killed him," Nagisa replied angrily and disgusted.

"She didn't mean to," Mayako replied, "it was an accident."

"You actually believe that?" Nagisa replied upset, "How could you?"

"Nagisa, listen, we all suffered when my brother died," Mayako said, "Don't you think that we should try to have peace with each other? I know that's something Takeru would have wanted?"

"You…" Nagisa just couldn't take what was happening, "If you want Kagura Hajime, you're brother's killer around, that's your business but don't expect me to be around for this. You make me sick, I can't believe you. It was bad enough that you put him in the situation that eventually got him killed and now you want to continue with this farce and truly disgrace his memory, I'm going to be sick."

"Nagisa, try to understand—" Mayako tried to put in her words.

"You're disgusting and one day, Kagura Hajime will get what's coming to her," Nagisa interrupted with venom and stormed off.

Mayako watched as Nagisa walked away and looked at her brother's tomb, "You understand, don't you brother… I know it would be something you would have wanted, right?" Mayako had a sad smile, "Of course not and that's logical. I'm glad Nagisa bought in the stupid things I said. Now she won't mourn for me when the times come. I deserve to be hated for what I did to you. Be patient with me Little Brother, I'll atone for your death. I just hope you can forgive for what I've done but I promise that Kagura will pay for what she did to you… her and that selfish bitch Akemi Kuga."

Flashback End

"This is the end for the three of us," Mayako said.

Kagura and Akemi both tried to get out of the limo but they saw that they unable to get out and Mayako drove the limo with Kagura and Akemi having no chance to get out.

"Don't bother," Mayako said, "you won't be able to get out now. I made sure of that. We're going to get our just punishments and you two will not slip away.

"Listen Mayako," Kagura spoke as she was now horrified, "I don't know what you're planning to do but please don't do this," Kagura was starting to be in tears, "Please… I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened to Takeru. You know I didn't mean it. Please Mayako."

"Look I'm sorry," Akemi said as she was in tears as well, "Please don't do what you're planning."

"If you were really sorry Akemi," Mayako said, "you wouldn't have ran and shift the blame on Kagura alone and Kagura, if you were really sorry, you wouldn't have had your father cover for you so that you can escape responsibility for what you did. No, your apologies are meaningless… ah, but we're almost there… the end of the line for us."

"Mayako!" Kagura shouted, "Mayako!"

"Heh, I bet now you wished you would have stayed at that building and just let yourself get arrested by the police but instead you scarified someone who you called a friend just to save your skin. Too bad."

Kagura and Akemi screamed at Mayako to stop but Mayako ignored them and continued on as a bright light shined at them and Akemi and Kagura looked on horrified and they both screamed.

The Next Day, Shichimura Apartment Complex

Keitaro was sleeping in his room within his apartment and was sleeping soundly. Keitaro gradually woke up and looked around.

"Ah morning already," Keitaro said.

"Good morning Keitaro," A female voice said.

Keitaro looked and saw that it was Nagisa who was sitting on a chair.

"Nagisa?" Keitaro responded, "You're here in my apartment… in my room."

"Yeah," Nagisa said, "I came by to see how you were doing and you were still asleep. You looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake you up."

"Really?" Keitaro responded as he sat up.

"Yes but of course I'm not the only one," Nagisa said and she pointed at a direction.

Keitaro looked and was surprised to see Motoko sitting by a wall and was asleep as well.

"Motoko," Keitaro said.

"She said that she didn't want any perversion going on," Nagisa said.

"Really?" Keitaro said and then sighed.

"The thing is though she wanted to keep her eyes out," Nagisa said, "to me."

"Huh, to you?" Keitaro replied.

"Yeah, you should have heard her," Nagisa said shaking her head, "accusing me of trying to take advantage of the situation being perverted towards you. Can you believe that?"

"Well is she wrong?" Keitaro asked.

Nagisa flinched at the question and she looked at Keitaro who smiled. Nagisa shifted her eyes and looked nervous.

"I don't know what you mean," Nagisa said and she chuckled nervously and blushed.

"Nagisa," Keitaro said, "How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Nagisa said and then she had a sad expression, "I'm sorry Keitaro."

"Huh, why are you apologizing?" Keitaro asked confused.

"For what happened to you yesterday," Nagisa said, "you were kidnapped by Kagura and the others and she did it to get back at me."

"It's not your fault," Keitaro assured, "besides it wasn't just you. Chisato got involved to get back at Yoshinari and Naru went along with it simply because she refused take to responsibility for her own actions and blamed me for all the problems she went through and then there's Mutsumi who…" Keitaro shook her head, "she just didn't want to face reality. So really Nagisa, it's not your fault. I'm just glad it all worked out and I'm glad that you're okay," Keitaro smiled, "I would not have forgiven myself if something had happened to you so," Keitaro took and held Nagisa's hand which surprised her, "I'm just glad."

"Keitaro," Nagisa said as her cheeks turned red and then smiled, "I'm just glad that you're okay. In fact…" Nagisa went and hugged Keitaro which surprised Keitaro, "thank you for worrying about me and I'm happy because even with that unpleasantness that happened, you stayed strong and didn't give in. You really are amazing."

Keitaro smiled and hugged back, "Thank you Nagisa. I do have people to thank for it and you're one of them."

"You're sweet," Nagisa replied happily with a giggle.

"Hey," Motoko's voice said.

Keitaro and Nagisa flinched a bit and they slowly looked and saw Motoko who just blushed.

"Nagisa, what did I tell you?" Motoko said upset, "Taking advantage of Keitaro like this…"

"I don't know what you mean?" Nagisa said, "Besides, he's not bothered by it."

Keitaro grinned happily about it and Motoko was wide eyed and then looked away with her cheeks red.

"It can't be helped," Motoko said in her head, "I had my chance and I blew it. But even so…"

"Anyway Motoko," Keitaro said suddenly, "Thanks for showing up and helping us."

"Oh," Motoko replied with a flinched and looked at the two, "you're welcome although it seems that my help was not required," Motoko had a sad smile, "I should have known that was the case."

"But you came and helped us," Nagisa said, "and so we're appreciative for it and it seems that Naru told us what you did and how you tried to talked some sense to her."

"Yeah," Keitaro said, "it's just a shame that Naru refused to listen."

"Yes it is unfortunate," Motoko said, "and to think I was the same way not too long ago."

"The same can be said about me," Keitaro said.

"Okay that's enough," Nagisa said as she clapped her hands.

"Nagisa," Motoko said.

"You two don't need to keep berating yourselves over and over again," Nagisa said with a smile, "the important thing is that you learn and keep moving forward. You can't move forward if you keep looking back."

"Yeah, you're right," Keitaro said.

"So with that in mind…" Nagisa said.

There was a sudden knock on Keitaro's door and they looked at the direction of the door. Keitaro went out of his room and went to his door and opened the door. Keitaro was surprised to see who it was and it was Mitsune and Shinobu.

"Morning Keitaro," Mitsune said happily, "How are you feeling?"

"Senpai!" Shinobu said happily as she rushed and hugged Keitaro.

"Hey Shinobu no fair," Mistune complained, "Don't just go giving yourself a head start."

"I'm just so happy," Shinobu said, "we heard what happened yesterday and we were so worried."

"Oh," Keitaro replied, "um if I may, who told you about it?"

"I did," Kanako said as she showed up with Kuro, Kyoshiro, and Nanami.

"Kanako, Mom, Dad," Keitaro said, "and Kuro too."

"Keitaro, how are you feeling?" Nanami asked concerned.

"I'm fine Mom," Keitaro assured, "don't worry. But it seems that I caused you all to worry."

"You don't need to apologize son," Kyoshiro assured, "you're not to blame and… oh."

Kyoshiro, Nanami, Kanako, Shinobu, and Mitsune noticed Motoko and Nagisa in Keitaro's apartment.

"Keitaro, what's going on here?" Nanami asked.

"Mom, please don't misunderstand," Keitaro said calmly, "they both came by to check on me and nothing more."

"Oh, are you sure?" Kyoshiro said as he placed his hand on his chin.

"Of course I am," Keitaro said.

"Relax son," Kyoshiro said with a smile, "of course I believe you," Kyoshiro then turned to his wife, "right Nanami?"

"Oh um, y-yes of course," Nanami said.

"Don't worry," Nagisa assured.

"Of course nothing would happen," Motoko said, "rests assure Mrs. Urashima, I was just making sure that my cousin was not taking advantage of your son."

"Hey!" Nagisa responded upset.

"Oh so now you're concern in protecting Keitaro," Mitsune said, "the old you would have accused Keitaro of being perverted."

"The old me was foolish and blind," Motoko said disgusted with herself, "not to mention pig-headed… and a bully. Which reminds me," Motoko had a sad expression and looked at both Mitsune and Shinobu, "You two… I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for how I treated both of you."

"Motoko," Shinobu said.

Keitaro placed his hand on Motoko's shoulder and Motoko looked at Keitaro.

"Why don't we all take time to talk," Keitaro suggested.

"Keitaro, are you…?" Motoko replied.

"That's fine," Mitsune said, "I think that'll be good," Mitsune turned to Shinobu, "How about you Shinobu? Are you willing to hear Motoko out?"

Shinobu looked at Motoko who looked away feeling ashamed of herself. Shinobu then nodded and smile.

"Yeah, I'm willing," Shinobu said."

"Then you all take your time," Nagisa said and then turned to Keitaro, "along with Keitaro and his family."

"Thank you Nagisa," Keitaro said happily.

"Thank you," Kanako said with a bow.

"My pleasure," Nagisa said.

"Mom, Dad, Kanako," Keitaro said, "come on in. Make yourselves at home."

"Great," Kanako said happily.

There was a meow and Keitaro looked and saw Kuro and he smiled in response as his family came in his apartment and so did Shinobu and Mitsune.

"Oh Nagisa," Motoko said, "what about you?"

"Oh me?" Nagisa replied, "I'm going to take care a bit of business. I'll be back… and the rest of the family will be coming by."

"Really?" Motoko replied surprised.

"Mmhm," Nagisa nodded happily.

Later Nagisa arrived in the lobby where she met with her friend Tamaki.

"You ready Tamaki?" Nagisa asked.

"Yes I am," Tamaki replied with a nod, "I appreciate you coming with me to do this. I don't know if I would have been able to do this on my own."

"It's not a problem," Nagisa assured, "and besides, he was involved as well and he made it my business even more so but even so, you weren't going to be alone on this."

"Yeah and he's going to answer for what he's done," Tamaki said determined, "by the way, I assume you heard about Kagura and Akemi…" Tamaki had a sad expression, "and Mayako."

Nagisa got upset and looked away, "I can't believe I didn't realize what she was planning. The whole time when I talked to her last… it was all an act… pretending that she was okay to be around Kagura."

"It seems that she couldn't live with herself with what happened to Takeru," Tamaki said.

"But still for her to…" Nagisa shook her head and sighed, "C'mon, we should go."

"Right," Tamaki said with a nod, "but Nagisa, are you going to be okay?"

"To be honest, probably not," Nagisa said, "if I had known, I would have realized and stopped her from she had intended to do. I would have preferred it for Kagura and Akemi to be arrested, not for Mayako to just drag them down with her and…" Nagisa had a sad expression for Mayako, "and…"

"Yeah I know what you mean," Tamaki said.

A Prison in Tokyo

Naru, Mutsumi, and Chisato were sitting in their own cells. They had been in their cells since last night when they got arrested. Naru was upset and couldn't believe that she had been arrested and taken to prison for the second time.

"Damn it why?" Naru asked herself in her head upset, "Why is this happening again?" Naru clenched her teeth, "No, I know why," Naru clenched her fists, "I should have never gotten involved in this," Naru held her head, "Why am I the one who gets humiliated?" Naru looked across from her cell and saw Mutsumi and Chisato and gave a hateful glare, "I should have never gone along with them… all because Mutsumi had to be so stupid!"

Chisato was sitting in her cell and was biting on her right thumbnail as she was angry, frustrated, and livid. Chisato had felt betrayed with what Kagura did last night and couldn't believe what Kagura did it to her to save her own skin.

"I should have seen this coming," Chisato said in her head, "that bitch. If I see her ooh… I'll make her regret it painfully… but I'm so screwed. I wanted to get revenge on Yoshinari for what he did. Damn it, I never should have bothered with that cousin of his. How is it that Keitaro was able to do those things? Damn it, I would have thought that he would be the same idiot that he was back in high school. Damn it, if wasn't for these idiots."

Chisato looked at Naru and then looked at the side and was barely able to see Mutsumi. Mutsumi was just sitting in her cell with her head down looking at the floor and her eyes seem to lose the life in them.

"I've been a fool," Mutsumi said in her head sadly, "I've been a fool this whole time. I sacrificed a lot and it was all for nothing," Mutsumi slowly looked at Naru, "Why did I bother?" Mutsumi wrapped her arms around herself, "I have destroyed everything. It's all over for me and it's my own fault."

There were footsteps that were heard and Naru, Chisato, and Mutsumi looked to see who it was. It was a female prison guard and Hina that had arrived.

"Granny," Naru said.

"Granny," Mutsumi said.

"Naru and Mutsumi," Hina said sadly and then she saw Chisato and glared at her, "Chisato Ichimura."

"Oh well," Chisato said, "hi there."

"Chisato Ichimura," Hina said with disdain, "I made it very clear that you years ago that you were to stay away from my grandsons and yet you saw fit to target them. What are you even doing back here in Japan? You're supposed to be in America… along with that rotten Kagura Hajime."

"Wait, what?" Naru spoke confused.

"What can I say?" Chisato said, "I missed Japan too much. I just wanted to come back home."

"I told you to stay away from my grandsons," Hina repeated, "and yet you dare went after them."

Chisato glared at Hina in response, "You need to back off you old bat."

"Hey, don't insult Granny!" Naru responded angrily.

"Oh that's right," Chisato said looking at Naru, "you were living in her inn at the time…" Chisato looked at Hina with a mocking expression, "the inn that she lost to Yoshinari's mom."

"Shut your mouth you heinous child," Hina replied, "you not only targeted my grandsons but you involved Mutsumi and Naru."

"A lot of good that did me," Chisato said with disdain.

"So you have no remorse for what you did?" Hina asked angrily.

"Oh come on," Chisato said, "You use people all the time. It's no different."

Hina was shocked at Chisato's words.

"How dare you!" Naru spoke upset, "You don't know Granny!"

"I don't use people," Hina said, "You don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh please," Chisato responded, "you think I don't know," Chisato looked at Naru and then at the sides where Mutsumi was, "Mutsumi told me everything that has happened. You used your own grandson to get what you want."

"Mutsumi, what have you been telling her?" Hina asked glaring at Mutsumi.

Mutsumi didn't say anything and just looked down on the floor with a sad expression.

Hina just glared at Chisato and sighed, "You know, I don't have to take this from a miserable brat like you," Hina turned to Mutsumi and Naru, "don't worry you two. I have a lawyer that will represent the two of you. It'll be okay."

"Okay," Naru said feeling relieved, "thank you Granny."

"Not like it matters," Mutsumi said bitterly.

"Mutsumi?" Hina and Naru replied surprised.

"I still lost in the end," Mutsumi said, "and all because I was too foolish. I'm done with everything."

"Mutsumi, what's with you?" Hina asked.

Naru looked away with a frown.

"Naru, what's going on?" Hina asked.

"I don't know," Naru said.

"I see," Hina said and then she had a sad expression, "but in the end, it will be it so I suppose it is as Mutsumi said."

"Huh?" Naru replied, "Granny, what do you mean?"

"After everything is settled, I'll be leaving," Hina said.

"Leaving?" Naru asked, "Granny, what do you mean?"

"Naru, I'm sorry but after everything that has happened, there is nothing much for me," Hina said sadly, "I have nothing now. I lost the inn and my family…" Hina was on the verge of breaking down, "my children, my grandchildren, they have decided to cut me out of their lives. I've tried to speak with them but they weren't interested."

"Well that's okay," Naru assured, "they're just ungrateful and don't know that you're a great person. You don't need them at all."

"Don't need them?" Hina responded, "Naru, don't be foolish child!"

"G-Granny?" Naru replied as she was taken aback.

"You don't get it, do you?" Hina said upset, "My family is important to me. They always have and always will and now they want nothing to do with me."

"Granny…" Naru spoke taken aback.

"Nothing matters anymore," Hina said upset, "I've lost everything and I don't have much stance in anything anymore…" Hina shook her head, "Who am I kidding? I didn't have much stance in anything from the beginning."

"Granny?" Naru asked.

"Naru, after everything gets settled," Hina said, "I'm going to have leave and you need to take care of yourself."

"Wait a minute Granny," Naru said, "what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is that you'll have to find your own way from now on," Hina said, "maybe… you should get in touch with your family."

"I can't do that," Naru said and then she shook her head, "no, I refuse to do that. They don't care about me. But you do and if you have to leave as you say then take me with you."

"I can't," Hina said.

"Huh, but why?" Naru asked.

"Because there's no point," Hina said.

"No point?" Naru asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is there's no point in continuing to help and bring someone who basically destroyed everything," Hina said.

"Huh?" Naru spoke shocked, "Um, what?"

Hina looked at Naru upset.

"Naru, I went out of my way to help you most of all," Hina said, "but it has done right for me at all."

"G-Granny, I don't understand," Naru replied.

"You don't understand?" Hina asked, "Here what I don't understand. What I don't understand is your enjoyment that you seem to take to continuously harm my grandson Keitaro."

"Huh?" Naru replied.

"Don't 'huh' me," Hina said upset, "that kidnapping you and Mutsumi were involved in. You were willing to have my grandson Keitaro harmed along with my other grandson Yoshinari. Did you actually think that I wouldn't be upset about it?"

"Granny I…" Naru spoke and frowned, "it was… it was his fault Granny, he made me upset and he humiliated me. He… he had to pay."

"Did you ever consider the possibility that my grandsons could have been killed or did you not care about that?" Hina asked.

"Granny, why are you getting upset with me?" Naru asked feeling hurt.

"Answer me Naru," Hina insisted.

"That was never going to happen," Naru said, "I'm sure of it. I just wanted Keitaro to learn his lesson."

Hina clenched her teeth and thought about all the things that was said to her by her children and grandchildren and she realized all the things she was told. Hina knew but ignored them as she had faith that things would work out it was at that moment that she finally admitted to herself that she was wrong about everything.

"Naru and Mutsumi, I will help you two out," Hina said, "but after, it will be the last time."

"Last time?" Naru asked.

Hina looked at Naru upset, "You're a hopeless child Naru. A stupid hopeless child."

Naru was shocked with what Hina had just said to her. Mutsumi just looked on and had a sad expression.

"Hey, what about me?" Chisato asked.

"Huh?" Hina replied giving Chisato a hateful glare, "What about you?"

"Help me out," Chisato said, "I was sold out and if you do, I'll help you tell you everything about Kagura Hajime."

"Oh yes about her," Hina said, "you don't know the terrible fate that happened towards that girl."

"Huh, terrible fate?" Chisato asked.

Somewhere in Saitama

In an apartment within a complex, Tetsuhiko was pacing around in the apartment with someone sitting on the floor who was lean built man wearing a white T-shirt with a black leather jacket and jeans along and had had black hair that went to his shoulder.

"You need to take it easy Tetsuhiko," The lean built man said.

"I can't take it easy Itsuki," Tetsuhiko said upset, "we haven't heard anything from them and they were suppose to give me a call last night."

"I'm sure it's fine," Itsuki said.

"I made a deal with them," Tetsuhiko said as he was getting upset, "and she's suppose to have her out of the way but I've heard nothing," Tetsuhiko clenched his fist, "I swear of that bitch goes back on our deal…"

There was a sudden knock on the door. It surprised Tetsuhiko and Itsuki and they wondered who it was.

"Maybe it's the ones that you expected," Itsuki said with a smile.

"It better be," Tetsuhiko said as he went to the door.

Tetsuhiko went and opened the door and was surprised to see who it was and it was his sister Tamaki.

"Tamaki," Tetsuhiko said.

"Hello Brother," Tamaki said.

Tetsuhiko was all happy to see his sister.

"I see," Tetsuhiko said happily, "you finally decided to come back home," Tetsuhiko nodded as he was pleased, "I'm so glad. After all, family should stick together. There was no need for you to stay in that ridiculously huge and expensive apartment complex. This is perfect and Itsuki is here as well," Tetsuhiko turned to Itsuki, "you two can make up," Tetsuhiko turned back to his sister, "anyway come in Tamaki. We have much to talk about."

"And what makes you think I came here to do all of that?" Tamaki asked.

"Huh?" Tetsuhiko replied surprised, "T-Tamaki."

"C'mon Tamaki," Itsuki said as he came by, "don't be like that. Let's work things out."

Itsuki was leering at Tamaki perverted and Tamaki glared at Itsuki. Itsuki placed his hand on Tamaki's shoulder and sort of caressed it and Tamaki was feeling creep out.

"Don't touch me," Tamaki demanded as she slapped Itsuki's hand away from her, "we're not going to have a repeat of you trying to… force yourself on me."

"T-Tamaki," Tetsuhiko said nervously, "I'm sure Itsuki wasn't trying to do that just like before. It was just a misunderstanding."

"And still you make excuses for him," Tamaki said shaking in anger, "you know what he tried to do to me and you happily ignore it."

"That's not it," Tetsuhiko insisted and then looked at Itsuki, "right Itsuki?"

"Yeah I'm just messing around," Itsuki said, "no need to be such a prude."

Tamaki sighed as she was annoyed, "You really are despicable," Tamaki then tuned to her right, "I'm not misunderstanding anything, right?'

"Of course not," Nagisa's voice said, "you didn't misunderstand it back then and it's the same now."

Tetsuhiko was shocked and sure enough, Nagisa appeared.

"Hello Tetsuhiko," Nagisa said and then she looked at Itsuki, "Itsuki."

"What?" Tetsuhiko asked surprised, "But why…? You're supposed to be…"

"I'm supposed to be… what?" Nagisa replied.

Tetsuhiko flinched and looked away, "Uh… n-nothing."

"I'm sure we can guess," Tamaki said, "you're surprised to see Nagisa, aren't you Brother? Well of course you would be surprised," Tamaki glared at her brother and Itsuki, "since you two made a deal with that bitch Kagura Hajime."

Tetsuhiko and Itsuki flinched and looked at Tamaki and Nagisa who glared at them.

"Don't know what you're talking about," Tetsuhiko said.

"Uh yeah," Itsuki said, "uh who is that? Who's Kagura Hajime?"

"There's no point in playing dumb," Tamaki said, "we know and how we know… well, that's because of a video."

"A video?" Tetsuhiko asked.

"Yes a video," Nagisa said, "you weren't aware of this but you were videotaped having a conversation with Kagura and Chisato."

"What?" Tetsuhiko spoke shocked.

"The video tape shows both of you talking with Kagura and Chisato," Tamaki said, "it shows that you my brother asked that bitch Kagura to harm Nagisa and to do whatever it took and you requested that she not only harm Nagisa physically, you went far to request Kagura to intentionally find a way to traumatize her."

"That's a lie!" Tetsuhiko said strongly.

"It's not a lie," A male voice said.

Tetsuhiko and Itsuki were surprised to hear a voice and the voice belong to the person who appeared and it was Officer Nikawa.

"The video tape shows that you two were involved in the planning of the incident that occurred yesterday," Nikawa said, "in fact, it was you Tetsuhiko who provided information to Kagura Hajime and Chisato Ichimura about the tenants of Shichimura and you hired the gang that was paid to harm her and Keitaro and Yoshinari Urashima," Nikawa looked at Itsuki, "the gang that you're part of."

Itsuki flinched and shook his head.

"That is not true," Itsuki denied.

"Don't bother denying it," Nikawa said, "We already know and have solid evidence. Now then, Tetsuhiko Hojo and Itsuki Tokimura, it's time for you two to come with us to the station."

"Us?" Itsuki asked.

Tetsuhiko and Itsuki looked and saw more police officers waiting for them and they were upset.

"I can't believe that you would go this far," Tamaki said upset.

Tetsuhiko looked and saw that his sister was very angry and upset at him.

"You would go this far," Tamaki continued, "You would go this far as to have my friend hurt and for what?"

"Tamaki," Tetsuhiko said as he clenched his teeth, "I just wanted you to come home so that we can live together as a family but you would constantly refuse," Tetsuhiko glared and pointed at Nagisa, "you would rather be with her and her family than be with me, your own brother."

"You don't have the right to be upset with me or Nagisa for that matter!" Tamaki rebuked strongly, "You would rather suck up and give exceptions to him," Tamaki pointed at Itsuki, "then actually help me. He done harm to me mentally and tried to do so physically and yet you rather look the other way! You rather ignore my pleas and my concerns just because he's your friend."

"Tamaki, you're being unfair!" Tetsuhiko replied upset, "Itsuki here is my friend. I don't have any other friends and he's really cool when you get to know him. He's not so bad. If you just take the time to talk and understand him…" Tetsuhiko stopped himself a bit, "look I get that he can take things a bit too far but he doesn't mean any harm."

"It's still not right for him for the things he did," Tamaki said upset, "he shouldn't even joke about it," Tamaki sighed as she calmed herself down, "it's obvious that you care more about your friendship with this thug than you do with me, your own sister and since that was the case, that's why I moved out of here."

"Tamaki," Tetsuhiko said upset.

"You have no right to be upset with anyone," Tamaki said, "you have no right to blame Nagisa. She helped me and had been there for me when I needed someone, something that you, my own brother were not willing to do."

"Okay sorry but I need to cut in," Nikawa said.

"Oh right," Tamaki said, "sorry about that."

"No, you don't need to apologize," Nikawa assured and then he looked at Tetsuhiko and Itsuki and brought out a pair of handcuffs, "you two need to come to the station."

Another officer showed up and brought out a pair of handcuffs. Tetsuhiko and Itsuki clenched their teeth as they were upset and looked at Tamaki and Nagisa who didn't feel any sympathy for them.

"Please don't resist," Nikawa said, "it wouldn't do you any good."

St. Clavius Academy

Sarah was being accompanied by the headmistress and Sarah didn't know what was going on. Sarah soon realized as she saw her papa. Sarah frowned and looked away.

"Hello Sarah," Seta greeted.

"I'll leave you two alone," The headmistress said.

The headmistress left and Seta went to Sarah and kneeled to face her.

"Sarah," Seta said.

"I hate you," Sarah said bitterly.

"Now that's hurtful," Seta replied.

"You abandoned me here," Sarah said upset and turned to face Seta with tears forming in her eyes, "you put me here."

"I didn't have much option Sarah," Seta said, "I honestly didn't want to do it."

"It's no fun here," Sarah said upset, "why do I have to be here?"

"Sarah, you know why," Seta said sadly.

"It's because of that dork Keitaro," Sarah said with disdain.

"Don't blame Keitaro for this," Seta said, "he's not to blame for this… and you know it."

"It would have been so much better if Keitaro was just gone," Sarah said vindictively, "it would have been better if he just died!"

"Sarah!" Seta said upset, "Don't say such terrible things!"

"I don't care!" Sarah said angrily, "You abandoned me! You don't care about me anymore!"

"Sarah, that's not true," Seta replied, "I—"

"You're a liar!" Sarah interrupted, "I hate you! I don't want to see you anymore! You're not my papa anymore!"

Seta was shocked and felt crushed. Seta was taken aback and looked at Sarah and saw she had nothing but hatred and contempt for him. Seta was about to speak and but stopped and then he stood up.

"Okay, if that's how you feel," Seta said.

"It is!" Sarah said, "Just you watch, Naru will come and get me. Naru, Motoko, Kitsune, Su, and even Shinobu. They will come and get me and things will be just like before. That old lady, she'll come and rescue me. She's older and they have to listen to her."

"Sarah, they're not—" Seta spoke.

"They're my friends and they're so much better than you and that dork Keitaro!" Sarah insisted.

"Sarah, please listen to me," Seta said.

"No shut up and leave me alone!" Sarah yelled, "I don't want to see you anymore! You can just disappear!"

Seta clenched his teeth and then just gave in.

"Fine, I'll leave," Seta said.

Seta slowly turned around and walked away and Sarah huffed as she went back bragging how Naru and the others were going to save her. Seta got in his van and was sad as he placed his head on the steering wheel.

"I have failed miserably," Seta said with sadness and then he thought about Sarah's mother, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I was never fit to take care of anyone much less your daughter."

Meanwhile the headmistress had been looking out from the window of her office of the display she saw between Sarah and Seta and she shook her head.

"One of the worse things that can happen to a parent is when their own child tells them that they hate them and want them out of their lives," The headmistress said, "that child is truly hopeless. Well I'm sure she'll realize soon enough and then she'll be begging… oh well."

Shichimura Apartment Complex

Keitaro was having a great time talking with his family along with Mitsune, Shinobu, and Motoko.

"I see," Keitaro said, "so you were able to work things out with your parents."

"Yes," Shinobu said happily, "although to be honest, my aunt helped me a lot."

"So your parents are able to patch things up with each other?" Kanako asked.

"Well… my parents still argue but it's not as bad as it used to be," Shinobu said, "they're really trying and…" Shinobu felt even happier, "I'm really glad."

"I'm happy for you Shinobu," Keitaro said.

"Thank you," Shinobu said.

Mitsune spoke about when she went back to Osaka and met with her mother.

"I see," Keitaro said, "so that's what happened."

"Yeah, to be honest it wasn't really easy," Mitsune said, "of course it what had expected… but I was to find common ground with my mother. I still have ways to go to prove my mother but I'm not doing it alone. My brother Mitsunari is helping me in that regard."

"That's good to hear," Keitaro said.

"Yes it's wonderful," Motoko said with a nod.

"Thank you," Mitsune said happily, "glad to hear it and who knows… maybe after it's all settle, I'll take up on Hikaru's offer."

There was a knock on the door and Keitaro called out that he was coming as he went to the door. Keitaro opened the door and was pleased to see Yoshinari along with Marumi and Sosuke. The other members of the Urashima family were pleased to see them and then they saw someone who looked nervous and was hesitant and it was Haruka. Keitaro smiled and approached Haruka.

"Haruka," Keitaro said.

Haruka was surprised and looked at Keitaro who smiled.

"Hi Keitaro," Haruka said and she had a sad expression, "I heard what happened to you yesterday and I… um, well, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Keitaro said with a smile, "and thank you."

"Huh, why are you thanking me?" Haruka asked confused.

"You helped when you got the police involved," Keitaro said.

"It wasn't much," Keitaro said, "I wish I had done more…" Haruka looked at Yoshinari, "for both of you."

"It's fine," Yoshinari assured, "trust me, both Keitaro and I are grateful to you."

"Yeah, what he said," Keitaro said.

"I see," Haruka said.

"See, I told you," Marumi said, "yet you didn't want to believe me."

"It's not that I didn't want to believe you Aunt Marumi," Haruka said.

"Muu!" Tama spoke.

Keitaro and the others were surprised and they saw Tama coming up from Marumi's shoulder.

"Muu!" Tama spoke again.

"Oh Tama!" Keitaro said happily.

Motoko flinched as she froze up seeing the flying turtle.

"Oh, a flying turtle," Kyoshiro said as he stood up and went in for a closer look.

"Wait, what?" Nanami spoke surprised.

Kyoshiro and Marumi spoke to the turtle and they both enjoy speaking to Tama and Tama responded back meanwhile Nanami was confused and Sosuke was still trying to wrap his head around the whole thing.

"Seriously, a flying turtle," Sosuke said and then he turned to Keitaro, "Are you familiar with this turtle?"

"Oh yes Uncle I am," Keitaro said casually.

"It's not that big of a deal Dad," Yoshinari said.

"Huh, funny your mother said the same thing," Sosuke replied in a shocked but calm tone.

Motoko was trying to keep it together as she didn't want to lose it again.

"What the…?" A male voice said.

The others looked and saw Shinsuke along with Isana, Kazuya, and Nagisa and they were shocked and twitching seeing Tama.

"Is that a…?" Kazuya spoke as he pointed at Tama.

"A t-t-t-turtle?" Nagisa spoke shaking.

"Oh my," Isana said, "it seems we have a flying turtle."

Isana looked excited.

"Isana, you can't be serious," Shinsuke said as he was shaking.

"Huh?" Isana looked at her husband and her children, "What, are you three scared?"

"Huh, n-no," Kazuya said, "of course not."

"That's ridiculous Mom," Nagisa said shaking, "we're not scare of a turtle, especially a flying one."

"I don't know how you got that idea," Shinsuke said as he was shifting his eyes.

"Um I'm sorry but are you sure?" Keitaro asked, "But your body languages are saying otherwise."

"You're reading it wrong Keitaro," Kazuya said with a nervous chuckle.

"Are you sure?" Kyoshiro asked, "Because it seems that you three are—"

Shinsuke cut his friend off by placing his hands on his shoulders and gave a bit of a crazed look.

"It's fine Kyoshiro," Shinsuke insisted, "we are fine."

"Yes, it's fine," Nagisa said with grin trying to hold herself together and then looked at Motoko, "right Motoko?"

"Huh?" Motoko replied surprised and then we went along with it, "Yes of course."

Keitaro looked at the Aoyamas and chuckled softly with his thoughts, "Is it an Aoyama thing? Oh wait, I don't think Tsuruko is like that…"

"Keitaro, what are you thinking about?" Kanako asked.

"Oh it's nothing," Keitaro said.

The gathering continued in Keitaro's apartment and there were joys, laughs, and funny times with everyone in Keitaro's apartment. Keitaro looked around and felt blessed at the moment.

One Month Later, Tokyo University

Mutsumi was in the room meeting with the board members of Tokyo University and she had a sad expression.

"…and we understand that you testified against the masterminds behind that incident," Shimata said.

"Yes," Mutsumi said with a sad expression.

"…Is there anything you like to say in your defense?" Shimata asked.

Mutsumi immediately shook her head, "No, I have no defense, no excuse. I have disgraced myself and this school."

"I see," Shimata said, "so you understand."

"Yes, I know I am to be expelled and it is expected after what I was involved in," Mutsumi said.

"Very well," Shimata said, "then there's nothing more to say."

Mutsumi bowed to the members of the board.

"I am so sorry for the trouble and shame that I caused," Mutsumi said.

Later on, Mutsumi was leaving the campus and was escorted by security.

"Mutsumi," A female voice said.

Mutsumi looked and saw Ohana who had a sad expression.

"Oh hello Ohana," Mutsumi greeted with a sad smile.

Ohana shook her head sadly, "I don't know what to say."

"You don't need to say anything," Mutsumi said, "It's my own fault. I spend my energy and time for someone who was not really worth it and for something I deluded myself for."

"Not really worth it?" Ohana asked, "So does that mean…?"

"Yes, I've cut my ties with Naru," Mutsumi said, "I should have done it a long time ago. I really saw how it was last night after I was so humiliated."

"I see," Ohana said, "so what will you do now?"

"I have lost everything and sacrificed for nothing," Mutsumi said, "I intend go back to Okinawa," Mutsumi smiled at Ohana, "take care Ohana."

"Y-Yeah, you too," Ohana said.

"Don't feel bad for me," Mutsumi assured.

"What about Urashima?" Ohana asked, "If what you said is true, then you should try to talk to him."

Mutsumi sadly shook her head.

"After everything that has happened and how foolish I was," Mutsumi said, "Keitaro is not going to want to talk to me. It's justified really what I did and what I tried to do. So long."

Mutsumi left and Ohana looked on seeing Mutsumi leave and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Mutsumi. On the other side, Keitaro looked on seeing Mutsumi leave feeling defeated. Keitaro sighed and went on his way.

Narusegawa Residence

Naru looked at the front of the house and she sighed as she tried to calm herself down.

"Everything went downhill real bad," Naru said in her head, "and now Granny says that she can no longer wants anything to do with me… I need help. I can't go down like this. I just have to grin and bear it."

Naru then knocked on the door.

"Coming!" Saori's voice spoke from the other side.

The door opened by Saori and she looked and was surprised to see her daughter Naru.

"Naru?" Saori spoke.

"Um hi Mom," Naru greeted sheepishly.

Saori then frowned as she was not impressed with Naru just showing up and she folded her arms.

"What do you want Naru?" Saori asked.

Naru was taken aback by her mother's response and then decided to press forward.

"Um, right," Naru said, "I understand that you're upset with me. I may have said some things that I didn't mean."

"Oh really?" Saori replied, "You seemed to have meant every word you said," Saori sighed, "Seriously Naru, what do you want?"

"C'mon Mom," Naru said, "can't a girl come see her mother? I decided to come back home," Naru smiled, "this is where I belong. So let's forget about the entire whole thing in the past and spend time as a family."

Naru was about to just walk in but her mother Saori stopped her daughter.

"That's not going to happen," Saori said.

Naru was surprised that her mother stopped her.

"Mom, c-c'mon now," Naru said nervously, "you can't just keep me away. I'm your daughter, you have to forgive me and let me in."

"I don't really have to do anything for you," Saori said, "you're not coming in."

"Mom," Naru said upset, "what's with you? Why are you being like this?"

"You mean to tell me in light of what happened in the past and the horrible things you said before, you have the nerve to ask me such a question?" Saori responded upset, "What happened to you staying with Hina Urashima? The fact that you went on about being with Hina was so much better for you."

"I made a mistake," Naru said, "I…" Naru chuckled nervously, "it was just a misunderstanding. I admit that so you have to forgive me."

"Just a misunderstanding?" Saori asked upset and then she shook her head, "Naru, I don't think you understand the seriousness of what had occurred back in Ikebukuro."

Flashback: Prison in Ikebukuro

Naru just shook her head, "Mom, I am appalled, I am disgusted.

"Appalled and disgusted…?" Saori replied surprised.

"Yes, I am," Naru said upset, "you had no right to be asking Keitaro about me. No right at all."

"Naru, you were not willing to tell me anything at the Hinata Inn on the bases that 'I wouldn't understand' and since you seem to talked to Keitaro about yourself a lot it seems," Saori said, "I thought he might give me a clue and you know what he did and I finally understand."

Naru felt annoyed, "Oh really? So tell me Mom, what is that you understand?"

"Naru, after your father and I got divorced, I put all my attention you and was willfully did everything and anything for you and this went on as you were growing up," Saori said, "What I failed to realized in what I was doing was spoiling and sheltering you. My focus was all on you but that was no longer the case when I married your stepfather and Mei came along as well."

"Naru, do you actually find me as a nuisance?" Mei asked.

"Unbelievable, you are unbelievable," Naru said, "Mei, so because I don't see you as you would like, you think that you're a victim in this. Mei, you don't have a clue about anything that's going with me, you never did. You never understood me and yet, you had the nerve to come to the Hinata Inn and try to convince me in coming back. If you really were much of a sister to me like you claimed to be, you would have left me alone and not come by trying to tell me that you wanted to be a family."

"Naru, you have no right to talk to your sister like that," Hiroshi admonished.

"Oh sure, everyone is being nice and sweet towards Mei but when it comes to me, I'm accused of being a selfish spoiled brat," Naru shot back, "You see, this is why I left for the Hinata Inn, to not only get my studies done and go to Tokyo University, to get away from this family, more specifically, to get away from you Mom. I had tried, I really did."

"To get away from me, you say," Saori said losing her patience, "You never tried to work things out with us and you give that excuse that we wouldn't understand. How could we not understand if you are not willing to explain anything? You use that phrase whenever you can't give really give an explanation and then you just run away. That's all you really do."

"Mom, you promised, you promised that you would always be there for me after Dad left but you didn't keep your promise, you decided that he, that man," Naru said as she pointed at her stepfather Hiroshi and then Mei, "and she were more important than you than I was."

"Naru, you know that's not true," Saori rebuked upset, "You were have and always were precious to me. For goodness sake Naru, you're my flesh and blood."

"It doesn't feel that way to me," Naru shot back.

"Is that the same nonsense you told your father at the Kuromitsu Inn?" Saori asked.

"Naru, please…" Mei pleaded.

Naru chuckled, "You know Mom, you are just like Dad and Keitaro and Kitsune, you pretend to care about me but it's all an act, that's what you are Mom, you are a fraud."

Saori was shocked and hurt and Mei and Hiroshi couldn't believe that Naru just said something so hurtful to them.

Naru continued pointing her finger at each of them, "It is has always been cleared to me that none would ever understand and not even try to understand. Mei, you want to know the truth, fine, here it is, yes Mei, you are a nuisance."

Mei was starting to panic, "No Naru, you don't mean that."

"I do," Naru relentlessly said, "I tried to be nice but you just keep pushing and pushing and you know what I had enough and I've had with all of you."

"Naru, you better really and I mean really think about what you're saying because as of right now, you are seriously burning the bridge here with us," Saori said upset and furious.

"That bridge was burned down long ago," Naru said, "just leave me alone and get out of my life, all of you."

"Get out of your life," Hiroshi said angrily, "Naru, you are sitting in a jail cell right now. How are you going to get out?"

"Granny Hina will get me out," Naru said with confidence, "I'm sure she will."

"What makes you think that woman will be able to bail you out?" Saori said irritated.

"Granny Hina always comes through for me and she always understood me, something that none of you here would ever do," Naru said with confidence.

"Do you really think that woman will always be there for you when you need and actually care about you?" Hiroshi asked.

"She does," Naru said with confidence.

Flashback End

"The things you said," Saori said with bitterness, "the things you said really hurt us. Mei had it the worse. She had been crying ever since. It's just now that she's gradually able to pull herself through what you did, it was worse than anything imaginable."

Naru fidgeted her fingers and looked away.

"I was just upset okay," Naru said, "it's not really a big deal."

Saori just sighed and shook her head.

"Not a big deal you say," Saori said.

"Huh, Naru?" Mei's voice spoke.

Naru looked and saw Mei who had a surprised expression.

"Mei," Naru said with a smile and waved at her stepsister, "hi there."

Mei frowned as she was not happy to see her stepsister and she turned to her stepmother.

"I'm going to go now," Mei said, "I'll be back in the evening."

"Okay Mei," Saori said with a nod, "have fun."

"I will," Mei said as she passed Saori and Naru.

"Mei," Naru said.

Mei responded by giving Naru a hateful glare in which it caught Naru off by surprise. Mei then went on her way.

"What's with her?" Naru asked.

"You're not exactly one of Mei's favorite people right now," Saori said, "consider how you treated her. Did you really expect her to be just fine after the terrible things you said to her?"

"I was just upset," Naru said, "she didn't need to be so upset with me."

Saori shook her head, "You really are something Naru."

"Mom," Naru said looking at Saori.

"Honestly, just how self-centered and inconsiderate you can be?" Saori asked and then shook her head, "You get so upset when people are not sensitive to your feelings and yet you're completely callous and inconsiderate to others. You really do expect everything to revolve around you."

"Can't we just let this all go?" Naru asked as she was getting a bit upset, "I'm back now and want to come home."

"You made it clear that you wanted nothing to do with us," Saori said, "and now you want to come back?" Saori sighed, "I know what happened. Hina Urashima, she said that she can no longer take care of you and she's actually planning to leave the country and says that she can't take you with her. That's why you shamelessly came back here, isn't it?"

Naru was surprised, "How did you know about Granny?"

"Marumi told me all about it," Saori said, "you remember her, Marumi Urashima… your ex-boyfriend's aunt who now has control of the Hinata Inn."

Naru was shocked and then she looked away.

"I didn't think that Granny would abandon me but she has," Naru said upset, "Okay look, I don't have anywhere to go," Naru looked at her mother, "please take me back. I already tried talking to Dad but he won't even talk to me."

"I can't say that I'm surprised about that," Saori said, "any other time beforehand, your father would have been thrilled to have you be with him but after the things you said to him," Saori shook her head, "your father and I didn't have a good relationship but still he didn't deserve the horrible things you said to him."

"Mom, please," Naru said.

Saori shook her head, "No, Naru you're not welcome here."

"But I'm your daughter," Naru pointed out.

"Yes you are my daughter and that will never change, not for me, not for your father, not for your stepsister and stepfather, however you are not welcome here. I warned you what would happen about burning the bridge and you didn't care so now you can lie on the bed you made."

"Then what do you expect me to do?" Naru asked upset.

"Talk to our relatives," Saori said, "I know that there are a few that are willing to take you in but you're not going to be here. That's all I'm telling. Now leave Naru and don't come back here."

"You're just going to just abandoned me just like that?" Naru asked upset.

Saori just looked at Naru with a frown, "You abandoned us first Naru. You did that when you decided to live in the Hinata Inn and not have anything to do with us. You have ways to get in touch with our relatives so go talk to them. Goodbye Naru."

"Mom!" Naru yelled.

Saori closed the door on her on daughter and Naru was shocked and started banging on the door demanding that her mother let her in. On the other side, Saori just looked on and didn't budge and then her husband Hiroshi came by.

"Are you okay with this Saori?" Hiroshi asked.

"I am," Saori said.

Hiroshi nodded, "Okay."

"She's going to have to learn," Saori said.

Back outside, Naru gave up and stomped on the ground.

"Fine, be that way," Naru said upset, "I don't need you! I didn't need you then and I don't need you now!" Naru started to walk, "I know just the person who I can talk to. I just have to convince him. It won't be hard… not with that perverted idiot."

Tokyo Airport

Hina had a sad expression as she was making her way through the airport carrying her small luggage and a backpack. Hina was in such a sad state with everything that has happened. Her own family have cut ties with her and wanted nothing to do with her, not even Haruka. Hina had realized that she had made terrible mistakes but with the way things were going, she had no way to repair them. The old matriarch of the Urashima Family felt broken and she asked herself where we went wrong. She stopped herself as she knew the answer and it was when she decided to do her way of helping people.

"I've lost everything," Hina said in her head, "I have nothing," Hina looked at view of the outside, "I've ignored the obvious things because I believed that things can get better. The only thing I managed to do was destroyed the bonds of my own family and even with Motoko, Shinobu, and Mitsune, they want nothing to do with me. Su is still in prison awaiting trial. Mutsumi," Hina frowned, "I wish that foolish girl had just listened to me and Naru… I've ignored the obvious problems and I did nothing."

Hina sighed sadly and went to get to the plane and Hina felt brokenhearted as she went on her way.

Shichimura Apartment Complex

A man in a black suit with short black hair was held to the floor and had handcuffs placed on him. The man clenched his teeth and cursed. Ritsuko looked on as police officers were holding the man down. Nikawa had the man's wallet and saw his ID.

"I see," Nikawa said, "you work for the NERV."

"Ah," The man looked on and then decided not to say anything.

"Gendo Ikari sent you," Ritsuko said.

The man said nothing and looked on with a defiant expression.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything," Ritsuko said, "I know it was him. I knew he would send someone after me after our 'chat' which is why I got the police involved."

"We've been looking into NERV and Gendo Ikari for some time," Nikawa said, "so let's head to the station and have a chat."

The man clenched his teeth and looked down upset as he was being picked up from the floor. Meanwhile Naru looked at the huge apartment complex.

"So this is the place," Naru said.

"Naru?" A female voice spoke.

Naru was surprised as she recognized the voice as being Mitsune and she looked and saw Mitsune along with Shinobu and Motoko.

"Naru," Motoko said with a frown.

"What are you doing here Naru?" Shinobu asked.

"Me?" Naru replied, "What the heck are you three doing here?"

"We came here for Keitaro," Mitsune said, "We'll be going somewhere."

"Going somewhere…" Naru replied, "With Keitaro?"

"That's right," Shinobu said.

Naru was taken aback by the responses.

"Now answer our question Naru," Motoko said, "what are you doing here? If you're here do something similar like what you were involved in last month then I'm going let you know that I won't allow it," Motoko then looked at Shinobu and Mitsune, "no I take that back," Motoko looked back at Naru, "we won't allow it."

"We?" Naru asked.

"That's right," Shinobu said strongly, "we know what you did."

"You surprise me Naru," Mitsune said upset, "honestly, I didn't think you and Mutsumi would sink so low as to kidnap Keitaro and use him against Keitaro's cousin…"

"And my cousin as well," Motoko said angrily, "I tried to tell you but you refused to listen."

"Oh give it a rest!" Naru responded, "You're not in any position to lecture me. Now as to why I'm here, I'm here to talk to Keitaro."

"Talk to Keitaro," Mitsune said, "about what?"

"That's none of your business," Naru replied.

"Naru," Keitaro's voice said.

Naru looked and saw Keitaro who walked over and then he stood in front of Naru.

"Keitaro," Naru said.

"What are you doing here?" Keitaro asked, "Oh, are you here to beat the hell out of me again? Just to warn, I'm not going to let that happen as I'm not tied up this time."

"No, I'm not here to beat you up," Naru said, "I came to talk to you."

"Really?" Keitaro replied unimpressed, "You came to talk to me… about what?"

"Um," Naru spoke and then looked at Shinobu, Mitsune, and Motoko and then back to Keitaro, "Keitaro, can we go somewhere private to talk? Just the two of us?"

"No," Keitaro said, "whatever you have to say to me you can say it in front of them."

"Keitaro," Naru replied upset and then she sighed, "fine, whatever," Naru cleared her throat, "Keitaro, I want us to get back together."

"Huh?" Shinobu, Mitsune, and Motoko spoke shocked.

Keitaro raised his eyebrow, "Huh? Are you serious?"

"Yes I'm serious," Naru said, "I want us to be boyfriend and girlfriend again."

"Are you serious Naru?" Shinobu asked upset, "You have the nerve to do this after what you did."

"Shinobu be quiet," Naru demanded, "this is between me and Keitaro. It has nothing to do with you."

"You have the nerve to say that," Shinobu replied, "don't get cocky Naru."

Naru was surprised at what Shinobu said and then tone she was taking with her.

"How utterly shameless," Motoko said, "after what you were involved in and what you had planned to do last month, you have the nerve to just ask Keitaro to get back together with you."

"Shut up Motoko," Naru replied, "You have no right to lecture me."

"Motoko is willing to own up to her faults," Shinobu said, "she's a much better person for it now, unlike you."

"That's right," Mitsune said, "meanwhile you're still acting like you did nothing wrong."

"Because I didn't do anything wrong!" Naru insisted, "What happened last month was because of them. They tricked me. I didn't know they were going to do what they had intended to do and besides, I was found innocent and I testified against them. Chisato Ichimura is in prison right now."

"That changes nothing Naru," Keitaro said.

"Keitaro," Naru said.

"Look Naru, I have no intention in getting back together with you," Keitaro said, "and I find it strange that you want to get together again after all this time."

"I'm willing to work things out," Naru said, "why don't you give it a chance?"

Keitaro sighed, "You really think I don't see what's going on?"

"Huh?" Naru replied, "What do you mean?"

"Naru I know," Keitaro said, "I know and they do as well."

"What?" Naru asked.

"Granny left," Shinobu said.

"Not only that," Mitsune said, "she left and decided not to deal with you anymore."

Naru flinched and looked at Shinobu and Mitsune and then Motoko who nodded.

"You probably went to see your mom," Mitsune said, "but that ended bad for you as your mother didn't want to talk to you or have anything to do with you."

"Wait, who told you about that?" Naru asked shocked.

"You did just now," Mitsune said.

Naru was shocked and then she clenched her teeth looking upset.

"Wow, I guessed right," Mitsune said, "well I suppose it's because it was kind of the same way with me but I'm guessing you didn't admit any wrongdoing on your part or said things like what happened between you and your family was not a big deal. You must have been callous when speaking to them."

"I…" Naru spoke and then she shook her head.

"I'm quite insulted Naru," Keitaro said, "after all you done, you have the nerve to even suggest that we get back together. You're doing this because my grandmother basically abandoned you and you were caught off guard from this. You and I both made it clear that neither of us wants to get back together and yet you're making that suggestion out of convenience for yourself and nothing more."

"Keitaro," Naru said upset, "don't be an idiot and just—"

"Stop Naru," Keitaro interrupted strongly, "I don't want to hear it from you. As far as your proposal goes, I decline. I don't want to get back together with you and that's all."

"You're rejecting me again?" Naru asked upset.

"Yeah I am," Keitaro said, "I don't want be back to a relationship that was toxic."

"You're rejecting me again," Naru said as she clenched her fist and teeth, "after all the time you pursued me in the past wanting to have a relationship with me and now you have the audacity to just reject me."

Keitaro just sighed and shook his head at Naru's reaction.

"I have given you my response," Keitaro said, "We're done here," Keitaro then turned to the three girls, "Sorry about this. Ready?"

"Yes it's no problem Senpai," Shinobu said.

"It's fine Keitaro," Motoko said, "you're not to blame for this."

"You're fine Keitaro," Mitsune said, "let's go."

Keitaro walked and started to leave with Mitsune, Motoko, and Shinobu. Naru felt humiliated and she just dropped on her knees. Naru's initial response would be to just deck Keitaro like she would normally do but Naru stopped herself as she knew that no matter what she did, nothing was going to change for her as she wanted it. Naru felt bitter and had no more hand to play. Naru was left to do what she could do now. Naru silently got up and walked away from another direction silently as she had her head down and went on her way. Naru stopped a bit and glanced back to see if any of them would glance at her direction but Naru saw that it was not the case. What Naru saw Keitaro happily talking to Mitsune, Shinobu, and Motoko and none of them bother to even give Naru a thought. It was crushing for Naru and she realized that she was really defeated. Naru turned and just went on her and decided to actually give one of her relatives a call. Naru arrived at a phone booth and went in and placed a call. After a few rings, Naru got an answer.

"Hello, who is this?" A male voice on the other asked.

"Hi Uncle," Naru replied, "it's me, Naru."

"Naru," The man spoke, "well this is interesting. So what does my niece want?"

Naru clenched her fist and then relax as she felt defeated again and spoke to her uncle who was her mother's younger brother. Meanwhile Keitaro, Shinobu, and Mitsune, and Motoko continued on their way.

"It'll be the first time in a while that we'll see Su," Shinobu said.

"Yeah," Keitaro said.

"It's unfortunate," Motoko said.

"I agree," Mitsune said, "but it's like we said, Su brought it upon herself."

"We'll be there soon for Su's trial," Keitaro said.

Hinata City Courtroom

The trial was proceeding and Su arrived and went to sit in her seat. There were people there watching the proceeding which included Lamba and Amalla and then there the people who were victims of the incident at the Kuromitsu Inn including Hikaru and Shakiko. Keitaro, Shinobu, Mitsune, and Motoko arrived and they went to their spots as well. Hikaru and Shakiko greeted Mitsune and Keitaro said his hellos to Shakiko and Hikaru as well. Haruka also arrived and met up with Keitaro and the three girls and she also greeted Shakiko. Amalla was angry seeing Keitaro and the three girls who was with and looked away in disgust. It was noticed by them but they didn't respond to them and Lamba just looked on in sadness. Su while sitting saw Keitaro and she tried to go over to talk to him but she was stopped by a guard and was told to remain seated as Su pleaded to talk to Keitaro but the guard was not having it. Su looked and saw Motoko and signaled Motoko to help. Motoko responded with a sad expression and shook her head sadly. Su knew and gave up and sat back down.

"Granny is a liar," Su said, "I hate her."

Keitaro just looked at Su and nodded.

"You're not the only one," Keitaro said in low tone.

The proceeding continued for Su and it ended with Su being found guilty of all charges against her. When she heard the verdict, Su just sadly nodded and accepted her fate. Haruka sighed as she felt that it was unfortunate. Su was taken away and would be arraigned for a later date for her sentence. The days would come for those involved and things would change for them as life went on.

One Month Later

In the coming days, there have been changes. Some changes have been pleasant for some people and some have not been pleasant for some people. For Mutsumi Otohime, it was not pleasant for her. She was able to avoid suffering more serious consequence thanks to the lawyer that had represented her and Naru thanks to Hina Urashima. However as she was expelled from Tokyo University due to her not keeping up with her academics as well as her involvement in Keitaro's kidnapping, Mutsumi went back to Okinawa and stayed with her family but was not the same cheerful and optimistic girl that she was. She would spend most of her days in her room depressed with the guilt and shame that she ruined her own chances with Keitaro due to trying so hard to get him and Naru back together and going far as to work with two girls with bad intentions who were just using her. Mutsumi had acknowledged that she had ignored all the signs that were there and the warnings from others including from Haruka and Hina. Mutsumi would often look outside from her room and wondered about many things. There was nothing left for her and it was done by her own making and as she knew that, she broke down and cried.

Kaolla Su was still serving time in a maximum security prison her actions. Su was no longer the cheerful, playful and excited inventor that she was. With all that had happened, Su just sat in her cell and stayed isolated with herself. Su reflected on her actions in the past and all she does was feeling depressed as her actions not only cost her, it also cost her country. Su was aware that in the aftermath, her country Molmol was still suffering scrutiny due to her own actions and it seemed that it would be if not all impossible to recover and regain trust with the other counties after what Su did. Su was also informed from her brother Lamba that the Molmol Embassy in Japan had been closed down and all Molmolian diplomats had been forced to leave Japan and the Molmolian Prime Minister who had provided the things that Su wanted for her had been sentenced to life in imprisonment for his role.

Sarah McDougal was still in St. Clavius Academy and was bitter and felt resentment. Sarah eventually learned what had became of the former residents of the Hinata Inn and Hina and she was angry and upset that things were not going to go as she wanted. She had expected to be taken out of the place but she realized that it was not going to be and it brought her down. In her anger, Sarah caused trouble in the school in which it brought the attention of the headmistress and she decided to deal with Sarah personally and it was there and then that Sarah knew fear, fear that had caused her to be shaken and lost her will to cause more problems. Eventually Sarah wanted to speak to Seta again and to beg him to take her back but unfortunately due the last time Sarah spoke to him, Seta did not come to see her. Instead Haruka came by instead and informed Sarah that she was to remain the academy until it would be time for Sarah to start high school since St. Clavius was from elementary and middle school. Sarah screamed and cried and begged to see her papa but Haruka reminded Sarah what she had said to him before the last time they spoke and Sarah insisted that she did not mean it. Unfortunately they were on deaf ears for who Sarah wanted to listen and Sarah broke down knowing even at her own age, she caused bond between herself and her adopted father to be broken simply because she didn't get her way.

Naru Narusegawa stayed with her uncle and her family who resided in America. Naru along with Mutsumi had been represented by a lawyer in which resulted with Chisato and Kagura being held responsible for all that had happened and it was chalked with Naru and Mutsumi's involvement as Chisato and Kagura tricking and manipulating them to do what they want. But it was not going to be well for Naru. With Naru's immediately family not wanting to have anything to do with her and Keitaro and all her former dorm mates as well as Hina cutting ties with her, Naru felt bitter and all alone and decided to stay with her uncle and his family who allowed her to be taken in. Naru had to leave for America since that's where they were going to live due to her uncle's new job. Naru couldn't bring herself to just be angry and upset as she knew that there was no point and nothing would ever change. But she still felt sadness and wished things had gone different. These days, Naru just sat alone and was depressed and this time, there were no excuses that she was making for herself as she knew why things happened to her as the way she did and gradually, Naru knew that it was her own doing that caused all the problems for her and for her, it was depressing as she also knew that there was nothing she could do about it as all of her dreams that she had had shattered and she knew she could have avoided all the problems she had if she had not made the choices she made.

As for Chisato Ichimura and Kagura Hajime, both suffered their fates. Chisato was forced to spend time in prison for kidnapping and soliciting violence against certain individuals. Chisato's family came by to visit her once and it was to inform Chisato that she was not welcomed to come back to their home after what she had done. Her father made arraignments to have her sent back to America to her relatives and made arraignments that she was not allowed to have any contact with them or her intended victims and their family and friends for if she did, they would severe consequences which would be worse. Kagura on the other hand was not so lucky. With being taken by Mayako along with Akemi, Kagura had a terrible fate awaiting for her and that fate was involved being in the limo and the limo being driven off a the side of the road down a cliff and there was a terrible crash. The police and ambulance came by later and picked up three bodies from the destroyed limo. With what had also occurred is that Kagura's father lost his wealth when his criminal activities were exposed and butler Eita was not getting out of it as well. As for Tetsuhiko and Itsuki who were involved as well. They suffered disgrace and humiliation and they would be in the process to lose everything which would include them spending time in prison.

Motoko Aoyama was setting herself on the right path. After everything that had happened, Motoko worked hard to get herself better not only as a swordswoman but to be a better person. Although it was not easy for her as she had a lot to prove. Eventually she worked her way to try to make up with her family, especially her sister Tsuruko and her brother-in-law Hayato. Motoko was determined and eventually was able to repair her relationship with her family and she was also able to gradually repair her relationship with Mitsune and Shinobu as well with Keitaro.

Shinobu Maehara has been in great relations with her parents and her aunt. Her parents were still divorced and they really didn't get along but because Shinobu mediated with them with the help of her aunt as well as Keitaro and her friends, Yasuhara and Aki would tolerate each other for Shinobu's sake and they eventually were to take it one step at a time with their daughter. What Yasuhara and Aki came in conclusion was to make their daughter happy. It was what they both genuinely wanted but they both knew that they went at it the wrong way.

Mitsune Konno who was formerly known as Kitsune was able to eventually path up with her mother and worked hard to regain her mother's trust with the help of her brother. Two weeks before, someone showed up in the Chinese restaurant and it was a middle-aged man with short brown hair that was a bit gray on the side. Mitsune along with Mitsuko and Mitsunari recognized the man as it was Mitsune and Mitsunari's father and Mitsuko's ex-husband. The reason the man came back was because he wanted to talk to them and spend time with them. However it was not to be as neither of them wanted to have anything to do with the man consider how he had been scheming and had abandoned them all those years. The man tried to sweet talk them and begged for forgiveness as he made his case that he was wrong but they were not interested and the three of them actually forced him out. When the man ranted towards them and said they were ungrateful, Mitsune went up and slapped her father hard in the face and caused the man to fall on the ground and Mitsune verbally stomped on him about him leaving them all those years and never bother to contact them. It was also revealed that in one of the man's schemes, he scammed and anger certain people, powerful people and they were hunting him down. It turns out that they were looking for him and the man had hoped that the family he left would help him as he knew about what was going on with them but Mitsuko had no interest and neither did their children. Later on, they actually informed those people where they can find the man and they capture him. The man was taken away and he was crying and begged and pleaded with his former family to help him but it fell on deaf ears. Seven days later, Mitsune would say her goodbyes to her mother and brother and it was be on good terms as Mitsune had decided to work for Kuromitsu Inn full time and she would need to move to there at the location. Mitsune left happy with her mother and brother happy as it was so much better than when Mitsune left for the Hinata Inn.

Nyamo continued to train under Ranma to the point that she took up residence in the Shichimura Apartment Complex. Nyamo along with Gidget would also spend time and hang out with Keitaro as well as Shinobu, Mitsune, Motoko, and even Kanako from time to time. Also with Ranma, he felt happy and relaxed being where he was Kazuya, Zack, and Duncan. Ranma still had regrets with how things went with Akane and had wished that he had done things differently but he also picked himself up and always concentrated on the things he could do in the present.

As for the most of the Urashima Family, Kyoshiro and Nanami continued with their bakery as they felt relieved with their children and their relatives. Marumi continued to run the Hinata Inn along with her husband. Although in due time, she had plans to actually leave the Hinata Inn to Haruka. In fact, the two of them were making plans for the inn and Haruka's tea shop to have a merge and it would not be long before Marumi would return to her business. As for her son Yoshinari, he started to spend time with his cousin Keitaro and the two cousins started to get close as brothers which were an improvement from what happened back in their high school days. Yoshinari helped his mother with the inn and her business as well as helping his father from time to time.

As for Kanako, she was enjoying her time in school with her new friend Kyoka Mitsurugi and she was also enjoying time spending with her brother Keitaro and the siblings had been getting real close. Kanako still had feelings for her brother but she knew that he would always just see her as his sister. Kanako was disappointed but she understood as all she wanted was her brother to be happy in which he was and she owed thanks to the people who helped him, especially Nagisa Aoyama who she knew that was getting real close to her brother Keitaro, much to her amazement. Shinsuke Aoyama along with his wife Isana, his son Kazuya, and his daughter Nagisa continued on with the management of the apartment complex and were even more close to the Urashima family as well as their own.

Two Months Later

Keitaro was on the roof of the apartment complex and he was actually drawing on a sketchbook. Keitaro stopped and looked at what he drew.

"Hmm, will this be enough?" Keitaro asked.

Suddenly Keitaro's eyes were covered.

"Guess who," A female voice said cheerfully.

"Heh, hi Nagisa," Keitaro said happily.

"Oh my," Nagisa said as she acted surprised and removed her hands from Keitaro's eyes, "have I become so predictable?"

Keitaro turned to Nagisa and smiled, "Sort of."

Keitaro and Nagisa laughed and then Nagisa sat next to Keitaro being very close.

"So did everything go well for you?" Keitaro asked.

"Yeah they did," Nagisa said, "my friends and I were able to get them done."

"That's great," Keitaro said with a smile, "I'm happy for you Nagisa."

"Thank you," Nagisa replied happily.

Nagisa then relaxed her head on Keitaro's shoulder and sighed with relief.

"A lot has happened," Keitaro said.

"For you?" Nagisa asked.

"Yeah," Keitaro said, "and all because that made that one decision," Keitaro chuckled a bit, "who knew that it would set off a chain of events?"

"You're living your own life now," Nagisa said, "you should live as you desire it."

"Yeah and I will," Keitaro said happily.

"I'll be right here with you to help and support you," Nagisa said.

Nagisa looked at Keitaro while blushing and Keitaro looked at Nagisa and he was blushing as well and felt happy and then he surprised Nagisa by hugging her. Nagisa was amazed and happy as she hugged back.

"Nagisa, thank you," Keitaro said.

"Mm," Nagisa nodded, "no problem. I'm right here with you."

Keitaro felt happy even more so than when he was at the Hinata Inn. He had people that cared and supported him. He was on track on what he really wanted to do and not try to emulate someone else and what he was most proud of was the fact that he was not letting anyone try to control and manipulate his life like his grandmother. Keitaro and his family had not heard from Hina ever since she left the country but they knew that Hina was most likely wandering around the world with nothing as they had cut ties with her. It didn't matter to them what she was doing but they knew that eventually she would return to Japan but should Hinata Urashima try to manipulate and/or forced them something against their will, they would make sure that the old woman would have hell to pay but there was no need to worry about it. Especially for Keitaro who right now was enjoying life on his own terms. It was for his own sake that Keitaro got out of the bad situation and took steps to better himself and ever since then, he has felt happy and at the moment he was even more happy being with Nagisa as he and her embraced each other.
