"AAAAGH!" yelled Keitaro. "I'm gonna be late!" he shouted, running through the dining room where most of the tenants are currently having breakfast.
"THAT MAKES TWO OF US!!!" yelled Touka, hot on Keitaro's tail.
Aisha sighed. "Just what were you two doing besides studying last night?"
Sei hummed. "Perhaps something really ecchi?"
"Hiiiiiii!!" squeaked Sui.
"SEI!!!" yelled Touka and Aisha in unison.
Rinrin and Shuuri only looked in confusion.
Keitaro and Touka each took a toast and quick drink of water before dashing out.
Aisha facepalmed. "I wonder if they'll make it into Tokyo U at this rate."
"Who knows?" said Sei. "Maybe they'll get lucky."
"Anyway" said Aisha. "We better head for school. Come girls!"
"HAI!" said Sui, Rinrin, and Shuuri in unison.
----
Keitaro and Touka were in fact a bit early when they reached the cram school. On the way to their classroom, they were stopped by two women each dressed in a skimpy variant of the Chinese dress.
"Well if it isn't Kei-kun" said one of them who had long black hair and her left eye covered by an eyepatch in the form of a butterfly.
"Indeed onee-chan" said the other, who had short light blue hair. "And he's got company too!" she smirked.
"Oh, hi Shunran! Hi Shuuran!" said Keitaro, greeting the two women.
"Friends of yours Keitaro?" asked Touka.
"Yeah you could say that" said Keitaro.
Shunran, the girl with the butterfly eyepatch, seem to take offense. "What do you mean by that Kei-kun!?" she said with a hint of hurt. "Am I not your best friend like we pledged to be!?" she added, now almost crying. "Ow!" she yelped as a result of being klonked on the head by Shuuran, the girl with blue hair.
"Of course we're best friends" said Shuuran after pulling her fist back. "You have to excuse my sister. She loves to play pretend lovers with Keitaro" she said. "As if that would ever happen" she added with a smirk.
Touka boggled. "Keitaro, she's your girlfriend?"
"No of course not!" said Keitaro with exasperation.
"Awww" moaned Shunran, before slowly giggling and then laughing out loud. "Hahahaha! Still can't take a teasing Kei-kun?"
Keitaro sighed. "Don't you get enough of that?"
"Um, Keitaro," Touka interrupted. "What's going on?"
"Um, Touka, these are Shunran and Shuuran Kakou, and they are my best friends, well, at least the closest friends I have as women." said Keitaro. "And they're twin sisters too."
"Oh" said Touka. "And you never dated them?"
"Nope." said Keitaro, then blushed as he began his next statement. "Well, I, uh, tried to but..."
"Well, were not into men if that's what you're wondering" said Shuuran.
Touka boggled. "You two are..." she started, but didn't finish her statement.
"Yes. But it was rather flattering when Keitaro said he thought I was beautiful" said Shunran with a light smile. "Kyaa!!" she squealed playfully with her hands on her cheeks in mock embarrassment.
"Ditto." added Shuuran, also lightly smiling. "I've never met such an honest man. That's what we like about him and how we became such good friends."
Touka barely nodded.
"Yes" said Shunran, who then looked at Touka, then back at Keitaro. "Well, so you've finally found yourself a girl?"
"EH!?" yelped Keitaro. "No no no! She's just one of my tenants!"
"Tenants?" said Shuuran and Shunran in confusion.
"Yes, he's the landlord of the all-girls' dormitory I live in." said Touka.
"LANDLORD OF AN ALL GIRLS' DORMITORY!?" exclaimed the two sisters, looking at each other.
"Yeah, I inherited the Hinata Inn from my grandmother." said Keitaro. "Even I didn't expect this"
"Oh geez." said Shunran. "He'll be too busy with all those girls"
"Yeah, we can't have fun with him anymore" added Shuuran.
"Wait a minute!" exclaimed Keitaro.
"Hahahaha!" laughed Shunran and Shuuran, then Shuuran spoke. "Only teasing Kei-kun."
Keitaro sighed.
"Anyway, you haven't introduced your new friend to us yet" said Shunran.
"Oh yeah. This is Touka Ryuubi" said Keitaro.
"Ryuubi?" piped Shunran. "Any relation to Dietman Ryuubi?"
"Um, yeah. He's my father" said Touka.
"EH!?" gasped the twins.
"Wow you must be loaded" said Shunran.
"And you must mingle with a lot of famous people" said Shuuran.
Touka sighed. "You don't know half of it."
"You sound like it's not all fun." said Shunran.
"It's hell!" ranted Touka. "I can't have fun! No going to the malls without bodyguards, no going out with friends who aren't children of other diginitaries. And I'm being forced to go to Tokyo U just to follow in my father's footsteps! It's so boring!"
"Oh" replied the twins softly.
"At least it's a bit better now that I'm staying in the Hinata Inn, since my parents trust Granny Hina." said Touka.
"Anyway we better go." said Keitaro. "The mock exams are gonna start"
"Oh right" said Shunran. "Well good luck to you two"
Keitaro was about to make his way to their classroom when he bumped into someone who was running the other way, knocking that person flat and tumbling down himself. "Ow!"
"Ouch!" muttered a female but boyish sounding voice. "Someone get the number on that truck that hit me?"
Keitaro got his bearings and looked at the person he bumped into. What he saw turned out to be a girl with short black hair with white streaks on the right side. She wore a blouse and a short skirt, which given that she sat with her legs splayed out were revealing her panties. "GWAK!" he helped.
Unfortunately for him, this didn't go unnoticed by the girl. "GYAAA!" she yelped, pulling her legs together and covering her crotch with her hands. "You... you... you..."
"Uh, I..." began Keitaro, but was cut off.
"PERVERT!!!" yelled the girl, leaping forward and throwing a punch at Keitaro.
"GAAAAAAHHH!" Keitaro yelled as he flew by the corridor, bouncing along the walls, the floor, and the ceiling, including several ricochets in a door frame, before finally landing flat on his back, about ten yards from where he got punched.
"GRRRRR!!!" growled the girl, before running off.
"Um, are you okay Keitaro?" asked a very concerned Touka.
"Ughhhh!" moaned Keitaro.
Shunran and Shuuran looked at Keitaro with confusion, then looked at each other and shrugged.
Touka tried to take note of who Keitaro bumped into since she somehow recognized the hairstyle.
----
After the mock exams (which Keitaro struggled with of course), Keitaro and Touka were hungry and realized they didn't pack lunch, nor did they have enough money to buy lunch (they had just enough for the train ride back home). The Kakou sisters took off early due to other plans, thus Keitaro and Touka were left alone without any way to get a bite.
"Oh man, in such hurry we forgot to prepare for lunch" said Keitaro, stomach growling.
"Yeah" said Touka, whose stomach growled louder.
"Eh? Touka-chan?" said a familiar voice.
"Eh?" piped Touka, looking at the newcomer. "Enya-chan!?" she said in surpise.
"Hahaha I thought I recognized you" said the girl addressed as Enya.
"Eh?" piped Keitaro. "GAH!" he gasped, recognizing the girl who punched him.
"Uh" gasped Enya, recognizing Keitaro. "Touka-chan! Stand clear! I'm going to deal with this pervert!"
"Wait! That's just Keitaro Urashima! My landlord!" said Touka quickly.
"HA!?!?" Enya gawked, looking really surprised.
After a few minutes of explanation, Enya calmed down a bit, though was still weary of Keitaro.
"Anyway, Keitaro, this is my cousin, Enya Gien" said Touka.
"So, you're the landlord of an all-girls' dormitory, and Touka-chan lives with you!?" asked Enya of Keitaro with a bit of disbelief.
"Yeah. I know it's hard to believe." answered Keitaro. "I almost didn't believe it myself that my grandmother left me in charge of the inn."
Enya sighed. "Touka-chan, has he done anything to you yet?"
"Huh?" said Touka. "What do you mean?"
"You know how I feel about boys." said Enya. Keitaro raised an eyebrow.
"If you're worried about that, Keitaro hasn't done anything you should be worried about" said Touka.
"I still don't trust him" said Enya.
"Don't tell me you haven't gotten over that..." began Touka, but Enya interrupted her.
"Don't..." said Enya, the tone in her voice different, as if in pain. Keitaro was surprised at this.
"Fine. I won't say anything further" said Touka. The somber mood was broken by another growling from Touka's stomach.
"Um, I guess you haven't eaten lunch yet?" asked Enya.
"Ehehehe" Touka laughed embarrasingly. "And neither did Keitaro."
Right at that point, Keitaro's stomach also growled. "Ehehehe" laughed Keitaro.
"Fine. I have an extra sandwich" said Enya, taking the sandwich from her backpack and giving it to Touka.
"Thanks!" said Touka, taking the sandwich, then cutting it in half. "Here Keitaro"
"Thanks Touka" said Keitaro.
"So what are you doing here Touka-chan?" asked Enya.
"Mock exams for Tokyo U." said Touka with a sigh.
"Ah, following in you father's footsteps?"
"Mou! It's not like I wanted this!" ranted Touka.
"Hai hai!" nodded Enya. "And you Urashima?" asked Enya of Keitaro.
"Same" said Keitaro.
"Hmmph! An idiot like you going to such a college?" sneered Enya.
"Enya-chan!" scolded Touka.
"Hey! I'm only pointing out the truth!" said Enya, pulling up a slip of paper. "I remembered the name Urashima once I heard you introduce him. I first saw it here" pointing at the paper, which turned out to be the previous rankings of the Tokyo U mock exams. Keitaro's name was just three places from the bottom.
"Ugh!" mumbled Keitaro.
"Oh" piped Touka.
"At least you're doing much better Touka-chan" said Enya, pointing out Touka's name which was one third from the top of the list.
Touka sighed. "That wouldn't be enough to satisfy my parents though. By the way Enya-chan"
"Yes?"
"What about you? Are you taking the mock exams too?" asked Touka.
"Heck no!" said Enya. "I'm here working as a teacher's assistant. I'll be going to our school's university so I don't need to take entrance exams."
"Oh wow. You got it all easy" said Touka. "I wish I could have such an easy going life as you"
"Nah." said Enya. "I doubt you can handle it." Enya then turned to Keitaro. "So why are you going for Tokyo U?"
"Well, I want to fulfil a promise I made to a childhood friend that we'd meet in Tokyo U when we grow up" said Keitaro.
"You what!?" said Enya with a bit of contempt.
"Enya-chan" said Touka with concern.
"You going to Tokyo U over a childhood promise?" said Enya. "Hah! Since when did people actually get to keep the promises they make?"
"Hey! I'm doing the best I can!" said Keitaro.
"Like your efforts amount to it" retorted Enya.
"Mou! Enya-chan! That's enough!" said Touka.
Enya sighed. "Fine. Fine." She then got up. "Anyway I have to go back to work."
"Okay Enya-chan" said Touka.
Before leaving, Enya turned to Keitaro. "Urashima,"
"Uh, yes?" said Keitaro.
"You better fulfil that promise of yours. Otherwise, I assure you that childhood friend of yours won't forgive you. I certainly wouldn't if I was that person!" finished Enya, before she left.
"I'm sorry Keitaro" said Touka.
"It's alright" said Keitaro. "What's bugging her anyway?"
"It's just that she had a bad experience with a boy before. He made a promise to her, but didn't keep it. She was very upset by that, and since then had a distaste for boys in general" explained Touka.
"Oh" said Keitaro, nodding in understanding.
Unseen by them, Enya stopped by the ladies room to try and clear her head. "Please! I don't want to remember that!" she mumbled, tears threatening to fall from her closed eyes.

----------
A/N: So how was that? I had a few ideas on what to do with Shirai and Haitani - keep them as is, or substitute them with Koihime characters. I opted for the latter, then narrowed it down to a few characters, before eventually choosing the Kakou sisters (the two main generals of the Wei kingdom; also, I had to shorten their "primary names" [Kakouton and Kakouen] to become a common surname since they're sisters). I also considered another pair of characters, but decided it would be way too off kilter. Instead, they are featured in the omake below.
Also, the addition of Enya (Gien) from Shin Koihime Musou was another last minute idea. Since in the game she at first hated Kazuto's guts enough to want to beat him up, I figured she could take Naru's temperental persona and her "Naru Punch" to add more comedy to the fanfic (also, the scene of Keitaro flying through the corridor bouncing around is exactly how it happened in the Love Hina anime), but I'm also putting a dramatic backstory on her as well.

Omake:
Keitaro and Touka were in fact a bit early when they reached the cram school. On the way to their classroom, they were stopped by two strange looking men.
"Well if it isn't Kei-kun" said one of them who was bald and muscular, and wore nothing more than a thong, speaking in an attempted effeminate voice.
"Indeed" said the other, who had white hair and a white moustashe, and wore a blazer over a string bikini, with a gruff old man's voice. "And he's got company too!" he smirked.
"Ugh, hi Chousen! Hi Himiko!" said Keitaro, greeting the two men unenthusiastically.
"Friends of yours Keitaro?" asked Touka, feeling uneasy about Keitaro's friends.
"Yeah you could say that" said Keitaro.
Chousen, the bald muscular one, seem to take offense. "What do you mean by that Kei-kun!?" he said with a hint of hurt. "Am I not your best friend like we pledged to be!?" he added, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Ah yes Keitaro" said Himiko, the white-haired one. "We made a solemn pledge to be the closest bosom buddies in the world!"
"Uh, yeah but" said Keitaro, before being interrupted by Chousen.
"Well, let's affirm it then!" said Chousen, puckering his lips and moving close to Keitaro.
"GWAAAAHHH!!!" yelled Keitaro. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Chousen, the bald muscular one, seem to take offense. "What do you mean by that Kei-kun!?" he said with a hint of hurt. "Am I not your best friend like we pledged to be!?" he added, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Ah yes Keitaro" said Himiko, the white-haired one. "We made a solemn pledge to be the closest bosom buddies in the world!"
"Uh, yeah but" said Keitaro, before being interrupted by Chousen.
"Well, let's affirm it then!" said Chousen, puckering his lips and moving close to Keitaro.
"GWAAAAHHH!!!" yelled Keitaro. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"
