It definitely was a warm spring day in Tokyo...it was a clear day, with high clouds.  However, there was one thing there that was ever present.  The seemingly immortal Keitaro Urashima.  It seems that these days he can do no right.  Still, he was thinking about everything.  He landed in a school yard of an elementary school.  He picked himself up, and dusted off.  He got stares from the children, but walked home anyhow.  It took him about fifteen minutes, but he reached the safety of Haruka's teashop.  There...she was there attending to her customers.  She saw her nephew, and wasn't surprised.  She also wasn't happy with the way things have been going.

"Keitaro, go to the back room," she ordered, "I'll talk to you later."

"Alright," he said quietly, "I have a lot to explain."

Haruka has been going through her own drama.  She had quit smoking...which was good...but she had to still deal with Seta.  He had been beyond pushy lately.  She also questioned Sarah's behavior as of late.  It has gotten worse, and not better.  Either way, things have come to a head and Haruka wanted to know what was going on.

"Alright, you can explain to me exactly what is going on," she said with a huff.

"Well...she blasted me just for saying good morning to Shinobu," he explained.

"I...really am not amused..." Haruka said.

"Yeah...I'm actually questioning if I should be with her at all," Keitaro said.

"Maybe it's my fault," Haruka offered.  "Maybe I shouldn't have pushed you into dating Naru."

"It's my fault for being so damned Naive," Keitaro said, when everything finally snapped.

"Listen, you can be an optimist...however, you have learned you have to use your discretion."

"Yeah...I ought to just stay here because I know how things will end."

"What are you going to do?"

"I am going to do some things I should have done in the first place," he then said.

He got up, dusted his gray khakis, then went back to the inn.  There...he was met by a very pissed off Naru.  She demanded to know where he was, why he was late...the usual.  He ignored her, got his tool box, and went to work.  In his mind, his work was more important than Naru's mad rantings.  He went too the roof, to fix the human-sized hole where Naru last blasted him.  Of course, he had zero help.  He then hammered the wood very hard.  He was getting out a lot of aggression against Naru.  Motoko happened up there to see what the noise was about.  She saw that he was frowning.  He wasn't happy at all.  She then did the math and got a sharp pain in her stomach.  She just let it go, as she thought he was getting rid of perverted energy.  After he finished his chores he was confronted by Naru, in his bedroom.

"Yes...what's your business here?" he asked flatly.

"I want to know where you were all day," she demanded.

"Unlike you...I have done my chores, and done my work," he shot back.

"W-what did you just say?" Naru asked surprised, angry, and shocked.

"I have had time to clear my head..." he then said bluntly.

He has thrown Naru in for a loop.  The truth is, he had let his displeasure be known through the tone of his voice.  It felt like now he had to do something.  It was obscenely quiet at this point.  Su was just taking a nap, so there were no lethal experiments he had to worry about.  Sarah was with Seta, who just now forced her to go to school.  She wasn't happy about it, but she couldn't resist.  Kitsune...well...she was just dead drunk again.  Mutsumi was asleep in her bedroom, and Shinobu finished her chores.  Though, he got the feeling something wasn't quite right.  Particularly when Motoko came to confront him for something he didn't do.

"You...vile pervert...prepare yourself," Motoko hissed.

"Oh, for the love of..." he grumbled.  

"What are you complaining about?!" she demanded.

"We go through the same thing every day," he said.  

"You've made Shinobu..."

"I call bullshit," Keitaro said...finally asserting himself, "I have been working on the roof all day, and I've been here getting together a list of supplies for tomorrow."

"You have too many excuses," she hissed...about to raise her sword to him.

"I'm busy now," he said, "do you have business?"

"I do not," she said.  

She left him to his job.  She groaned out because...he actually started to talk back to her.  She was also set off by the fact, that he didn't even attempt to make eye contact with her.  Kitsune was listening in.  She started to form an idea.  She was going to set him up.  She also was going to also take the money he had saved for his supplies.  After all, he's exactly like the First National Bank.  She also decided to start now. She went to Naru to plant the seeds of her lies...yet again.  

"Hey, I know why he gave you the kiss-off," Kitsune said smiling.  

"Why is that?" Naru asked a bit confused.

"He was thinking dirty thoughts about you, and Shinobu."

"That...fucking...jerk..." she hissed.

"He's in his bedroom now if you want to 'talk' to him," she smiled.

"I will wait until dinner," Naru grumbled.

"Oh well, I'll see to it that you sit next to him!"

"That, would be perfect."

When dinnertime came....Keitaro knew something was up.  He saw that Su was unusually...quiet.  Normally, she'd been bouncing off the walls.  Trying to explode Keitaro, or just be a general brat.  He also noticed that things just weren't quite right.  Instead of going straight to the kitchen, he went outside for fresh air.  However...he didn't recognize that a rather heavy, blunt trauma object hurled at his head.  Though once it hit, he was knocked out.  Haruka saw who did, since she was out there to check up on him.  She was not impressed.  She took his limp body to his bedroom, and tended to the rather nasty knot he only got from his head.  Only when Keitaro woke up, is when he tried to tell her what happened.

"Save your energy," she said in a rather angry tone.

"I just want to know where that came from," he said, not knowing what exactly hit him.

"I know exactly where, when, and who it came from," she answered.

"I know it was a heavy cast-iron skillet...."

"That's Naru and Kitsune's handy work..." she said.  "Get some rest."

"Please don't do anything dumb," he pleaded.

"I have reserved that right long ago," she said with a smile.  "Honestly, I've had enough."

"W-what's caused this change?" he asked, a bit confused.

"Remember our little talk today?" she asked.  "Well, I decided that today's the day I am going to attempt to change my attitude."

"I can't argue with that, but you said not to take it too far."

"You're right," she said, "Anyway, come with me to get some ice."

She took him down to the kitchen, slowly, to get an ice pack.  From there, she returned to Keitaro's room to discover the money for his building supplies was missing.  She had a good idea who did it.  She then saw the resident trickster, scam artist, criminal and stopped her in her tracks.  She was in zero mood to have any happy talk.

"Okay, let's see your pocketbook," Haruka pressed.

"W-why do you need to see...I only have a hundred yen," she tried to lie.

"Really, then you won't have anything to worry about," she hissed.

She reluctantly gave up the pocketbook.  It was empty from the jump.  There was all of the money for Keitaro's supplies.  Haruka really wasn't amused.  While it is true she isn't intimidating...she knew somebody who was.  She decided that she was going to make that call.  However, on Keitaro, she made clear.

"The First National Bank of Keitaro is hereby closed," she said.  "Now...steal from him again....I'll call in Tokyo division."

"Y-you wouldn't do that would you?" she said very afraid.

"Yes...I would," she said plainly.  "Now...if you want to help yourself...you'll start by paying back everything you've scammed off of him."

"That'd take forever!" she whined.

"Then figure something out," She said with fair warning.

"Man...this sucks," Kitsune said kicking at the floorboards.

What she didn't know was that she was going to be making a couple of phone calls.  She wasn't going to allow Keitaro to be used as a door mat.  She also knew that he had to do some of the work himself.  She saw that he was on the first track.  She also knew that change, for either of them, would not come overnight.  Once she finished her phone call, she decided to check up on Keitaro...who was up.  

"You can come stay at my place," she offered, "there's no reason why you have to not get a good night's rest."

"Thanks, but there are things to be done here," he said.

"True, but your sanity is at stake."

"Alright, I have the list of supplies ready," he said.

"I also recovered the money Kitsune took...and she'll pay back every dime she's scammed."

"Wow...you caught her..."

"Don't sound surprised, get extra clothing, and come on."

He got extra clothing and went to stay at Haruka's for the night. It was a nice change of pace. There, he would have an opportunity to talk to Haruka about everything that's happened.  She had a bare idea of what went on.  Though, her instincts proved correct once she got the details.  She then looked to him and smiled.

"Don't worry, you're going to get extra help," She explained.

"I have a feeling you..." he started.

"I had little choice," she said.  "Trust me, you don't need these unhappy returns."

He nodded and she was right.  She allowed him to shower and get cleaned up.  He then changed his clothing...well attempted to.  Haruka just decided to get changed in front of him.  He started to blush, but she just gave a slight smile.  She understood...but she was still family nonetheless.  She then got into a rather long white night shirt, and just unhooked her bra.  

"We're family," she then said, "don't take this personally, but you get embarrassed to easily."

"I know," he then said, "after all the attacks..."

"Right, I remember," she then said.  "I'm not an intimidating person, but I will try to make right."

He then remembered why he was in the mess he was in.  Haruka did take responsibility for her actions.  Though, he knew she wasn't going to change right away.  It was a miracle she quit smoking for a few months.  Keitaro knew tomorrow was going to be hell...and he was only going to be out of the inn for a few hours at a time.  He also decided he'd better have a talk with Shinobu...for the sake of her sanity.
