Love Hina Fan Fiction ❯ Love Hina Episode X ❯ You're Invited ( Chapter 1 )

We all do things in this life that we look back on later that we will regret

I am no different

Call it being human

Has anyone stopped and wondered why we are here?

I do it on a daily basis

I sit here staring at the wedding invitation that just came to me from the mail lady

It is from a dear friend

One that I haven't seen in a long time

Naru Narusagawa

Haven't seen her since she got into Tokyo U

Surprises me that she still remembers me

I was a nobody in high school and she was the one person that talked to me

She was such a sweetheart, someone that I could talk to normally, she was bit high strung but…that's what made her cute

I should have asked her out

Should have…

But that's what they call "missed opportunities"

A knock on the door, shook me from my daze

"Come in"

My sister Rachael walks in

"Well if you don't look depressed"

My name is Nathan Grey, and this is my story

Nate turned on his bed, and looked at his sister. She was leaning up against the door jam, her arms crossed

"So are you going to tell me what is the matter, or am I gonna to have to go into your brain and look at it myself"

Nate shook his head and grimace, thinking about the last time she had done that

Gave him nightmares for a week

"Nah, no reason for that. I just got an invite for a wedding" he said

"Oh? From someone I know?" Rachael asks, her eyes growing wide

"Remember when I got sent to Japan for a couple of years? When Logan thought it would be a good idea to help clear my mind. There is a girl that I knew getting married and she sent me an invite." Nate said

"Well are you going to go?"

"I don't know, haven't decided."

"You have a crush, don't you?" Rachael asked coyly

"No!" Nate exclaimed his face turning red

Rachael ran to the bed and tackled him over

"You DO have a crush; our little Natey is growing up"

"Get off me Rae" Nate growled, his right eye beginning to glow slightly

Rachael got off of Nate and looked at him in the eye. Nate lowered his head off the side of the bed and let it hang

"You don't go your gonna regret it" Rachael said softly

"Rae that was a different time. I'm older and a little different"

"Different, meaning you are a mutant. The last time you saw her you were having the headaches that's why Mom and Dad sent you there"

"I never told her"

"What, you never told her?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"I couldn't tell her that, are you kidding?" Nate said sitting up

"Well regardless, I think you should go"

"Yeah, I think you are right, at least tell her what I feel at least"

"See, get packed and Ill take you to the airport"

"What about Mom and Dad?"

Rachael smiled

"I'll handle them"

The ride to the airport was a short one, considering Rachael's driving. Nate's parents sent him with best blessings, believing that their son needed a vacation; it was true that Nate was being over stressed but believe it or not to some, Nate didn't get as tired as his parents or friends, he had been raised in turmoil and conflict, he thrived on it. It was genetically bred into his very being to be a hero and that's what he was. Some part of him was feeling guilty for going to his friend's wedding to tell the bride how he really felt

But the other side of him told him that if he didn't do it, he would regret it for the rest of his life

A flight attendant pushed a drink cart slowly down the isle, she was of Japanese descent, Nate shook his head as he tried to remember his Japanese.

It had been so long that he had to use it; he had forgotten the correct grammar and such, so he reached out into her mind and scanned her softly, hopefully not scaring her too much.

The attendant stopped in the isle and put her hand to her temple, Nate ducked back lower into his seat, but he had gotten what he needed, a quick refresher course in Japanese

The attendant shook her head and continued down the isle, stopping by his seat.

"Can I get you something to drink?" she asked

Nate looked up, attempting not to look her in the eye

He had also picked up one of her extracurricular activities, and it was kind of embarrassing

"Just a coke please"

The attendant put on a fake smile and handed him a tiny can of coke and continued down the isle

Nate shook his head and suppressed silent giggles

He really needed to get his pilot's license

He leaned down and pulled his carry-on from under his seat and pulled out the invitation, scanning it quickly he found the number for Naru's. On the back of the seat in front of him was a telephone

He stared at it for a minute, as he took a sip of his coke

It would be kinda rude not to call

He leaned forward and took the phone off of its hook

He dialed the number slowly, his fingers shaking.

Like most men he hated to call a girl if he didn't have to

*ring*

*ring*

*ring*

A child like girl voice picked suddenly came over the speaker

"The number you have reached is no longer in service"

"Su, Su what are you doing, give me that phone" Another voice came over

Nate's heart lurched, for a second he believed that his shaking fingers had dialed the wrong number

"Hinata House, Shinobu speaking"

Nate cleared his throat

"Hello, is Naru there?"

The voice paused; maybe the Japanese crash course he had just taken didn't help him as much

"No she isn't, she is out with her mother at the moment. Can I take a message?"

"Uh…Sure, tell her that her old friend Nate is on vacation and he wants to see her. I'll be landing in Tokyo in about four hours if she wants to pick me up"

"Sure" the voice chirped

"Goodbye"

The line went dead

Nate sat back in his seat and lowered the back down, he closed his eyes and thought

Was he doing the right thing?

At the same time Nate was thinking about his plan, Naru had arrived home.

Naru walked through the sliding front door and pulled her shoes off

"I'm home" she called

Her hands were aching from holding bags for the last hour

Shinobu stuck her head out from the living room

"Oh Naru, you just had a phone call"

"Oh? Was it from that idiot Keitaro? Did he get lost again or stranded on a remote island or something?" Naru said, her eyes slanting slightly

"No, it was someone name Nate. He sounded American"

Naru's eyes began to widen

"Nate…?"

"Yeah, he said that he was going to be landing in Tokyo soon and he wanted to see you"

Naru's face blushed

"How long??"

"He said in about four hours"

Naru started to spaz out, she began to run around

"I can't believe it, he's actually coming. I got to get ready. I got to change….Maybe I should take a quick shower"

He's coming back she thought

Suddenly she stopped

"Oh no…"
