"YAHHHH!!!" *SWISH*
"HAAAAAA!!!" *CLANG*
Aisha and Rinrin are in another naginata sparring session at a small makeshift dojo in the ranch behind the inn. Despite Rinrin's small stature, she is almost evenly matched with Aisha. Almost...
"ORYAAAAAA---" *POW* "WAAHHHHH!" *THUD*
Rinrin gets knocked back by a powerful blow from Aisha's Green Dragon Cresent Blade even after parrying it with her own polearm, and lands on her bum.
"Yield?" said Aisha, pointing the blade of her naginata at Rinrin.
"Ha-Hai" said Rinrin with a goofy grin, laughing with embarrassment.
"Let's call it a day, shall we Rinrin?" said Aisha, offering her hand.
"Um, yeah." said Rinrin, taking Aisha's hand and letting the elder girl help her up.
Nearby, Sui is at the stable, brushing the horses while humming to herself. Keitaro, out of curiosity, comes in.
"Hello Sui-chan!" greeted Keitaro.
"HWAAAAAA!!!" yelped Sui. "U-u-u-Urashima-dono... y-y-y-y-you startled me!" stuttered Sui.
"Ack! I'm sorry!" said Keitaro profusely.
"Mou..." moaned Sui. "Please don't do that."
"I'm sorry" said Keitaro again. "Are you really that scared of me?"
Sui felt like a deer caught in a car's headlights. "Eh!? Me? Scared!?" she said frantically. "Of course not! Ehehehe! Uh why would I be? That's just ridiculous, you know? Ahahahaha!" she babbled very quickly while laughing goofily and waving her hands in front of her.
"Um, I guess this is a bad time." said Keitaro. "Maybe I'll come back later when you're calmed down?"
"Hey I'm calm! I'm calm!" said Sui quickly, trying and failing to act calm. Just then she felt a tug from behind.
"GWAAAA!" she yelped as one of the horses behind her bit on and pulled her skirt up, revealing her panties. "HEY! CUT THAT OUT! LEGGO!"
Keitaro boggled for a moment, before suffering a nosebleed.
"KYAAA!!!" yelped Sui, realizing she'd been seen by Keitaro.
"GAH! I'M SORRY!" said Keitaro in a panic, then took the opportunity to run.
"HEY WAIT!" called Sui. "HELP ME HERE URASHIMA-dono!" she called frantically. "DOWN BOY! LET GO OF ME! STUPID HORSE!" She tried to pull her skirt back, and struggled doing so. She then did one really hard yank - a big mistake, as the skirt tore. "WAHHHHH!!! MY SKIRT!!!" she cried. The horse looked at her as if to taunt her, with the torn piece of her skirt still in its mouth, then galloped out of the stable. "HEY!!! COME BACK HERE!!!" yelled Sui, giving chase.
Keitaro was back in the landlord's room, out of breath, after running all the way there from the stable. Soon he realized he was sweating all that running, and decided to change, and get a cold drink while at it. He took a shirt from his closet, then went out of his room.
Moments later, an exhausted Sui, having changed clothes, trudged into Keitaro's room, hoping for a chat with Keitaro to clear up the misunderstanding at the stable. "Oh man where is he?" she mumbled, then yawned. "Ahh. So tired. Stupid horse. Really..." she said, then plopped down on the still rolled out futon in the room, and soon dozed off, almost unmindful of whose room she fell asleep in.
A few minutes later, Keitaro came back in, now with his change of shirt on, and with a glass of cold grape juice in his hand. Before he could think of what to do next, he was aghast to see Sui sleeping on his futon. "Gak! What the heck is she doing here?" he babbled, thinking of all the possible motives for the brown haired girl to be in his room. Looking around to make sure he was alone and that none of the other girls would get any strange ideas about him being alone with Sui, he decided to wake her up before they did show up. "Hey, Sui-chan? Wake up" said Keitaro, shaking Sui a bit.
Sui only murmured something about perverted horses.
Keitaro tried again, shaking her harder this time. "Yo! Sui-chan! Time to get up"
"Let me sleep some more, daddy..."
Keitaro sighed. He tried shaking her even harder. "Um, Sui-chan, it's me Keitaro, and you're in my room alone with me"
"Keitaro... room... alone... with..." Sui began, then stopped. Her face seem to contort from confusion to strange thinking, then her eyes opened. "Uhhh" she moaned groggily. "Where am I..." Her eyes soon regained focus, and she saw Keitaro's face in front of her. "Oh, hi Urashima-dono-" she said, then stopped herself, before suddenly panicking. "HWAAAAAAA!!!!!" she yelled, then leaped out from the futon and scrambled to her feet. "UHHH... U-u-u-u-Urashima-dono... I... uh... eh... uh..." she sputtered.
"Um, hi sleepy head" said Keitaro, trying to be humorus.
"Um..." gulped Sui, not sure what to do.
"Um, well, may I ask what you're doing in my room?" asked Keitaro, trying to sound as friendly as possible.
"Uh, well, I, uh, wanted to, uh" babbled Sui. She tried to take one step back, only to step on a stray pencil. Thus, her foot slipped. "MIYAAAAA!!!" yelped Sui, as she fell forward towards Keitaro and clotheslined him.
"GWAK!" yelped Keitaro as Sui fell on him. Since he was still holding the glass of grape juice, it spilled on them both as the two of them fell to the floor (fortunately the glass was plastic, and didn't break as it fell to the floor). Once the dust settled, Keitaro was on his back, feeling a heavy weight on his chest and his vision blocked. "Ohhhh..." he moaned.
"Owowowow!" moaned Sui, who was on a sitting position. As soon as she got her bearings, she looked around, and found herself sitting on Keitaro's upper chest. "Ack! Urashima-dono! I'm sorry I-" she began, then saw exactly where his face was. "KYAAAA!!!" she yelped, reaching for her skirt to try and cover her crotch, but Keitaro's face was planted smack on it. "Ahh... U-u-u-Urashima-dono! I... uh... eh...." she stuttered, panic growing each second. Then the unthinkable happened, and she felt something wet and warm on her crotch. "YAHHHH!!!" she wailed.
"Ewww what's that smell?" said Keitaro, who still could not see, but did smell a scent he normally would find in the restroom. He managed to move his head back a bit, and opened his eyes - to see the front of Sui's panties, and all moistened up as a result of Sui wetting herself. "GWAK!" yelped Keitaro.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" cried Sui. "This is the worst day of my life!" she lamented.
"What is all that racket about?" called the voice of Sei, who out of curiousity walked in. "Ara..." she said, amused at the sight of Sui sitting on top of Keitaro. "Looks like you two are having some fun?"
Sui slowly turned her head to meet the gaze of Sei. "S-s-s-s-s-Sei-chan? A-a-a-a-a-I-I-" she stuttered, her heart racing faster and faster, before she finally lost it. "KYAAAAA!!!!" she howled, then got up and ran out of the room.
Sei was left alone with the still prone Keitaro in the Landlord's room, and ended up confused over the panicked Sui.
------
Sui sighed. Another of her clothes ruined, simply out of panicking. "I'm such a klutz" she moaned. She put the grape juice stained clothes in the washer. Since she didn't get a change of clothes yet (a second time), she was clad in a towel. Just as she started the washing machine, Shuuri barged in.
"Wait! Sui-oneechan! Don't wash that if you need clothes!" said Shuuri in a panic.
"What?" gulped Sui.
"All your clothes aren't done yet. At best some of them are drying outside" said Shuuri.
"Oh man!" said Sui. "Even my training gi?"
"Yes that too" said Shuuri.
"What am I gonna do?" Sui wondered out loud.
"Hey Sui!" said Sei, who suddenly popped in. "Looks like you have a problem here."
"Ah... well..." Sui began.
"Oh you don't have to explain" said Sei. "I heard everything."
"You... did...?" said Sui with dread.
"Oh yes" said Sei craftily. "Now don't you worry! I've got just the thing for you!"
"That's what I'm afraid of" said Sui nervously.
-------
"So why are we all here?" asked Touka. She, Aisha (with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in hand, as she was interrupted from self-training), Rinrin, Shuuri, and Keitaro were in the common room.
"Yes." said Aisha. "And where are Sui and Sei?"
"Alright everyone!" said Sei just as she entered. "Presenting the new Sui!" she said, gesturing to the side. When nothing happened, Sei reached through the doorway and pulled Sui into view.
Everyone stared in surprise at Sui dressed in a short-sleeved blouse, micro-miniskirt, and stockings.
"What do you think everyone?" asked Sui. "Sexxy!" she teased.
"Um, ah, Sei-chan?" said Sui bashfully. "Can't I wear something else?"
"Um, Sei-chan" said Touka. "Maybe I have something you might want to try."
Moments later, Sui appears in a sleeveless crop-top and micro-mini along with a hat. "How about that?" asked Touka.
"WAHHH!" wailed Sui, covering her midriff. "I don't want to show off my belly button!"
Another change of clothes, this time courtesy of Rinrin. "Hey how about this?" said Rinrin, showing Sui wearing something akin to a string bikini, an elephant headress, and brandishing a pole-arm with a large paw at the end. "I used to wear this with some of my cousins at a party!"
"Uuuuuu!" moaned Sui. "I can't go anywhere in this!"
Yet another change of clothes for Sui. This time she wore a white sundress, and her hair was let down. Everyone stared in awe.
"Whaaaa" breathed Rinrin.
"So beautiful" said Shuuri.
"Well" said Sei. "I never thought you could look so fashionable."
"Very pretty" said Touka admiringly.
"Um, whose clothes are those?" asked Keitaro.
Someone raised her hand. It was Aisha.
"Woa!" said Keitaro to Aisha. "I didn't know you had good girlie outfits" he began, then gulped when Aisha shot him a glare.
"I'll have a word with you later Urashima-dono" said Aisha.
"Um, please don't stare like that" said Sui softly, looking really shy. "This isn't the normal me."
"So what?" said Sei. "She looks adorable. Don't you think Keitaro-kun?"
"Why of course! You look really cute Sui!" said Keitaro.
"Funyaaaa!" yelped Sui, blushing profusely. "C-c-c-c-cute!?" she squeaked.
"Uh, is something wrong?" asked Keitaro.
"B-b-b-b-b-Baka!" said Sui, trying to sound angry. "There's no way I can be cute! I..." she paused. "I'm not cute at all." she said softly.
"Who told you that?" asked Keitaro.
"My, brothers did" said Sui.
"Man they must have been really stupid" said Keitaro.
"Um, yeah they sure were." said Sui.
"So don't let it bother you." said Keitaro. "Besides, they're not here now, are they?"
"Well, no." said Sui. "They're back home in Kyoto."
"Then don't worry about them, or what they think" said Keitaro. "Alright?" he added, smiling.
Sui blushed, but smiled. "Okay" she said.
"Ara. Looks like some nice chemistry between you two" teased Sei.
"NYAAAA!!!" squeaked Sui.
"AH-HEY!" yelped Keitaro.
Rinrin stared in confusion, while something in Shuuri's mind clicked.
Touka on the other hand, felt something unpleasant. As if she was feeling... jealous? Wanting to be told how cute or pretty she was by a guy?
Aisha decided to diffuse the situation by having her talk with Keitaro now. "Urashima-dono, perhaps we should speak now." she said, taking Keitaro's arm and starting to drag him off.
"Ulp!" gulped Keitaro nervously.
"Woo! Planning to confess your undying love for our landlord Aisha-chan?" said Sei.
Touka got big eyes, Sui eeped, Shuuri and Rinrin looked at each other in confusion.
"SEIIIIII!!!" Aisha growled.
Keitaro, in a panic, grabbed Aisha and pulled her out of the room. "Um, come one, Aisha, let's have our discussion elsewhere."
----
Keitaro ended up bringing Aisha to the landlord's room before he knew it, and when he did, he realized his mistake, too late.
This was not lost on Aisha. "Urashima-dono, are you aware that the two of us are alone in your bedroom?"
Keitaro panicked. "Um, well, um, you said you wanted a word with me..."
"Yes that is correct" said Aisha. "But in a more appropriate setting of course. Being here in your room though, I would tend to suspect you might have certain, intentions, with me."
Keitaro was cornered at this point.
"Still, I'm keeping my word to Touka-sama to trust you as an honorable man" said Aisha. "Just don't get any funny ideas."
"Yes, yes I know" said Keitaro. "A guy alone with a girl..."
"DON'T... CALL... ME... A... GIRL!!!" growled Aisha, threatening to reach for her naginata.
"AHHH..." gasped Keitaro.
"Don't you call me such a weakling!" said Aishia.
"Hey! I never said you were a weakling!" retorted Keitaro.
"Yes you did!" replied Aisha.
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"GRRRR..." Aisha growled, now grabbing her naginata. "HAAAAA!!!" she yelled, swinging it towards Keitaro.
"YAHHHH!!!" yelled Keitaro in a panic, putting his arms out.
"HAAAAA!!!" continued Aisha, now bringing the naginata down on Keitaro. At the last moment however, something blocked it. "AHHH...???" gasped Aisha.
Keitaro now had his hands in a prayer position over his head, with a segment of Aisha's naginata just inches from the blade, between his hands.
Aisha was stunned. Her strike was blocked by bare hands. Her grip loosened, and her pole-arm fell to the floor with a clatter, whereas she herself fell to her knees. "I... I've been stopped... impossible... Am I... weak... after all... ?" she murmured.
Keitaro was jolted out of his daze by Aisha's words. "Ahh... Aisha-san!" said Keitaro.
"Am I... really... weak... just like... any... girl?" mumbled Aisha.
"No you're not" said Keitaro.
"But..." said Aisha weakly.
"Just because you're a girl doesn't make you weak" said Keitaro.
"But... girls... have always been..." began Aisha.
"Not from what I've seen" said Keitaro.
"Eh?"
"You're really strong" said Keitaro. "Like when you saved my life from those thugs."
Aisha fell silent.
"And how you've sparred with Rinrin-chan earlier today." added Keitaro.
Aisha nodded.
"Then there was this other girl, Touka's cousin, who also has a big punch" said Keitaro almost embarrassingly.
"Oh" murmured Aisha, remembering Enya.
"And I have two close friends too, both girls, and have their own strength as well" added Keitaro, referring to Shuuran and Shunran.
"Really?" replied Aisha, wondering about Keitaro's friends.
"And one other girl too. My sister..." began Keitaro. "Darn I can't remember her for some reason, even her name too."
Aisha's mind clicked at hearing Keitaro mention a sister. 'He has a sister? Could it be possible...' she thought, then she gasped as Keitaro grasped her hands.
"Man those are really strong hands indeed" said Keitaro.
Aisha began to blush. She was also surprised Keitaro's grip wasn't the hostile kind, but gentle and friendly. Only one boy ever held her like that... Wait, could Keitaro be...?
"Aisha-chan" said Keitaro.
"Ah, Hai!" piped Aisha, jolted from reverie.
"Don't let anyone make you think you're weak just because you're a girl." said Keitaro.
"U-Urashima-dono" murmured Aisha.
Keitaro gazed at her with a friendly look.
Aisha couldn't help but stare. Something about his gaze was becoming more and more familiar. "U-Urashima... dono" she murmured.
"Jiiiiiiii" hissed Touka, who happened to be standing at the slightly opened door. Right then, several other girls suddenly fell on a heap next to her from behind the door, looking sheepish.
"GWAK!" yelped Keitaro, letting Aisha's hands go and jerking backwards.
"AHHHH!!!" gasped Aisha, also jerking backwards.
"Mou! Keitaro-kun thinks Aisha-chan and Sui-chan are cute, but not me?" said Touka.
"EH?" gasped Keitaro.
"Well, I guess I just won't let myself lose to them!" said Touka, taking hold of Keitaro's hand. "I'll do my best to be the prettiest girl ever for Keitaro-kun!"
Keitaro's jaw dropped.
"Ara." piped Sei, after picking herself up from the floor. "Touka-sama jealous over Aisha-chan and Keitaro-kun being together?"
"Eh... SEI!!!" yelped Aisha, who blushed.
"Aisha-oneechan and Urashima-sempai!?" squeaked Shuuri.
Sei giggled. "Keitaro-kun and Aisha-chan sitting in a tree..."
"HAWAWAWA!!!" babbled Shuuri.
"OOOH" went Rinrin.
"SEIIIII!!!" growled Aisha, menacingly brandishing the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. "YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT!!!" she yelled, and began to attack Sei, who simply ran off.
"WAHHHH!!!" yelled Touka. "Aisha-chan is going berzerk! Keitaro-kun! Do something!"
"EH??? WHY ME!?!?!?" wailed Keitaro.

--------
A/N: Well this took more work and thought than I expected, so I decided to kind of let the story flow on its own for a bit. I was trying to derive something from the Love Hina episode where Motoko ends up running out of clothes to wear and is forced to try out various outfits. In this fanfic, Sui ends up on that situation (inspired by the Koihina Musou anime episode when Sui ends up wearing that dress). As a bonus, the outfit Rinrin makes Sui wear here is based on the costume worn by the leader of the Nanban Barbarians in Shin Koihime Musou. (i.e. instead of giving them an appearance, which I think would not work too well here anyway, a reference to them is made instead). Many more references from the Love Hina anime, and the Koihime Musou anime and games, can be seen here as well.
To respond to frosts' concern about character inclusion, I'm using an approach similar to the Shin Koihime Musou game, where the player gets to choose which of the 3 factions to join with, which as a result limits which girls Kazuto gets interact with. Essentially this fanfic is like joining the Shu faction, so Keitaro's interaction with the girls of Koihime Musou will be very much limited to those under Touka's group. However, girls from the other factions will have limited or cameo appearances along the way (eg Shuuran and Shunran from the Wei faction, and those from the Wu faction in the roles of faculty members in the school). I even have one in mind that's sure to be a big surprise (especially considering which Love Hina character she will be replacing; in fact it's hinted in this chapter already).

"B-b-b-b-b-Baka!" said Sui, trying to sound angry. "There's no way I can be cute! I..." she paused. "I'm not cute at all." she said softly.
"Who told you that?" asked Keitaro.
"My, brothers did" said Sui.
"Man they must have been really stupid" said Keitaro.
"Um, yeah they sure were." said Sui.
"So don't let it bother you." said Keitaro. "Besides, they're not here now, are they?"
"Well, no." said Sui. "They're back home in Kyoto."
"Then don't worry about them, or what they think" said Keitaro. "Alright?" he added, smiling.
Sui blushed, but smiled. "Okay" she said.
"Ara. Looks like some nice chemistry between you two" teased Sei.
"NYAAAA!!!" squeaked Sui.
"AH-HEY!" yelped Keitaro.
Rinrin stared in confusion, while something in Shuuri's mind clicked.
Touka on the other hand, felt something unpleasant. As if she was feeling... jealous? Wanting to be told how cute or pretty she was by a guy?
Aisha decided to diffuse the situation by having her talk with Keitaro now. "Urashima-dono, perhaps we should speak now." she said, taking Keitaro's arm and starting to drag him off.
"Ulp!" gulped Keitaro nervously.
"Woo! Planning to confess your undying love for our landlord Aisha-chan?" said Sei.
Touka got big eyes, Sui eeped, Shuuri and Rinrin looked at each other in confusion.
"SEIIIIII!!!" Aisha growled.
Keitaro, in a panic, grabbed Aisha and pulled her out of the room. "Um, come one, Aisha, let's have our discussion elsewhere."
----
Keitaro ended up bringing Aisha to the landlord's room before he knew it, and when he did, he realized his mistake, too late.
This was not lost on Aisha. "Urashima-dono, are you aware that the two of us are alone in your bedroom?"
Keitaro panicked. "Um, well, um, you said you wanted a word with me..."
"Yes that is correct" said Aisha. "But in a more appropriate setting of course. Being here in your room though, I would tend to suspect you might have certain, intentions, with me."
Keitaro was cornered at this point.
"Still, I'm keeping my word to Touka-sama to trust you as an honorable man" said Aisha. "Just don't get any funny ideas."
"Yes, yes I know" said Keitaro. "A guy alone with a girl..."
"DON'T... CALL... ME... A... GIRL!!!" growled Aisha, threatening to reach for her naginata.
"AHHH..." gasped Keitaro.
"Don't you call me such a weakling!" said Aishia.
"Hey! I never said you were a weakling!" retorted Keitaro.
"Yes you did!" replied Aisha.
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"GRRRR..." Aisha growled, now grabbing her naginata. "HAAAAA!!!" she yelled, swinging it towards Keitaro.
"YAHHHH!!!" yelled Keitaro in a panic, putting his arms out.
"HAAAAA!!!" continued Aisha, now bringing the naginata down on Keitaro. At the last moment however, something blocked it. "AHHH...???" gasped Aisha.
Keitaro now had his hands in a prayer position over his head, with a segment of Aisha's naginata just inches from the blade, between his hands.
Aisha was stunned. Her strike was blocked by bare hands. Her grip loosened, and her pole-arm fell to the floor with a clatter, whereas she herself fell to her knees. "I... I've been stopped... impossible... Am I... weak... after all... ?" she murmured.
Keitaro was jolted out of his daze by Aisha's words. "Ahh... Aisha-san!" said Keitaro.
"Am I... really... weak... just like... any... girl?" mumbled Aisha.
"No you're not" said Keitaro.
"But..." said Aisha weakly.
"Just because you're a girl doesn't make you weak" said Keitaro.
"But... girls... have always been..." began Aisha.
"Not from what I've seen" said Keitaro.
"Eh?"
"You're really strong" said Keitaro. "Like when you saved my life from those thugs."
Aisha fell silent.
"And how you've sparred with Rinrin-chan earlier today." added Keitaro.
Aisha nodded.
"Then there was this other girl, Touka's cousin, who also has a big punch" said Keitaro almost embarrassingly.
"Oh" murmured Aisha, remembering Enya.
"And I have two close friends too, both girls, and have their own strength as well" added Keitaro, referring to Shuuran and Shunran.
"Really?" replied Aisha, wondering about Keitaro's friends.
"And one other girl too. My sister..." began Keitaro. "Darn I can't remember her for some reason, even her name too."
Aisha's mind clicked at hearing Keitaro mention a sister. 'He has a sister? Could it be possible...' she thought, then she gasped as Keitaro grasped her hands.
"Man those are really strong hands indeed" said Keitaro.
Aisha began to blush. She was also surprised Keitaro's grip wasn't the hostile kind, but gentle and friendly. Only one boy ever held her like that... Wait, could Keitaro be...?
"Aisha-chan" said Keitaro.
"Ah, Hai!" piped Aisha, jolted from reverie.
"Don't let anyone make you think you're weak just because you're a girl." said Keitaro.
"U-Urashima-dono" murmured Aisha.
Keitaro gazed at her with a friendly look.
Aisha couldn't help but stare. Something about his gaze was becoming more and more familiar. "U-Urashima... dono" she murmured.
"Jiiiiiiii" hissed Touka, who happened to be standing at the slightly opened door. Right then, several other girls suddenly fell on a heap next to her from behind the door, looking sheepish.
"GWAK!" yelped Keitaro, letting Aisha's hands go and jerking backwards.
"AHHHH!!!" gasped Aisha, also jerking backwards.
"Mou! Keitaro-kun thinks Aisha-chan and Sui-chan are cute, but not me?" said Touka.
"EH?" gasped Keitaro.
"Well, I guess I just won't let myself lose to them!" said Touka, taking hold of Keitaro's hand. "I'll do my best to be the prettiest girl ever for Keitaro-kun!"
Keitaro's jaw dropped.
"Ara." piped Sei, after picking herself up from the floor. "Touka-sama jealous over Aisha-chan and Keitaro-kun being together?"
"Eh... SEI!!!" yelped Aisha, who blushed.
"Aisha-oneechan and Urashima-sempai!?" squeaked Shuuri.
Sei giggled. "Keitaro-kun and Aisha-chan sitting in a tree..."
"HAWAWAWA!!!" babbled Shuuri.
"OOOH" went Rinrin.
"SEIIIII!!!" growled Aisha, menacingly brandishing the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. "YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT!!!" she yelled, and began to attack Sei, who simply ran off.
"WAHHHH!!!" yelled Touka. "Aisha-chan is going berzerk! Keitaro-kun! Do something!"
"EH??? WHY ME!?!?!?" wailed Keitaro.

A/N: Well this took more work and thought than I expected, so I decided to kind of let the story flow on its own for a bit. I was trying to derive something from the Love Hina episode where Motoko ends up running out of clothes to wear and is forced to try out various outfits. In this fanfic, Sui ends up on that situation (inspired by the Koihina Musou anime episode when Sui ends up wearing that dress). As a bonus, the outfit Rinrin makes Sui wear here is based on the costume worn by the leader of the Nanban Barbarians in Shin Koihime Musou. (i.e. instead of giving them an appearance, which I think would not work too well here anyway, a reference to them is made instead). Many more references from the Love Hina anime, and the Koihime Musou anime and games, can be seen here as well.
To respond to frosts' concern about character inclusion, I'm using an approach similar to the Shin Koihime Musou game, where the player gets to choose which of the 3 factions to join with, which as a result limits which girls Kazuto gets interact with. Essentially this fanfic is like joining the Shu faction, so Keitaro's interaction with the girls of Koihime Musou will be very much limited to those under Touka's group. However, girls from the other factions will have limited or cameo appearances along the way (eg Shuuran and Shunran from the Wei faction, and those from the Wu faction in the roles of faculty members in the school). I even have one in mind that's sure to be a big surprise (especially considering which Love Hina character she will be replacing; in fact it's hinted in this chapter already).
