Love Hina Fan Fiction ❯ The Love Nest ❯ Discoveries ( Chapter 18 )

I do apologize for taking so long real life keeps trying to interfere with my interests. Also I am having trouble with the site on chapter Seventeen for some reason the last couple of pages are not showing up when I post it.

The usual terms still apply I do not own the rights for Love Hina and I never will. Minors should Not be reading this.

Keitaro had turned in a panic when he had heard the floorboards crack beneath their feet. But when he saw Motoko plunge from sight he flew into emergency mode.

Dropping to his knees he crawled over to the hole that she had disappeared into and called out to her.

“MOTOKO ARE YOU OK?”

“Kei… Keitaro I think I might have broken my leg. I…I think I fell on something metal when the floor gave way.”

“How far down are you Motoko?”

Then the dust started to settle and the could finally se each other again she had only fallen about three feet down but when she had struck a large metal box she had been unceremoniously dumped down an incline leading towards the back of the dojo.

Keitaro did not like the look of his friend. Her face was pale and dirty and he could see scrapes on her forearms from where they had made contact with the edges of the splintered wood as she fell. But it was the look of pure terror that showed in her eyes that really bothered him. Fear was something that he had felt millions of times himself, but seeing that look on Motoko’s face was highly unusual. He knew that Tama the springs turtle gave her the willies. She had, after all been attacked by a turtle demon as a child. But seeing her lovely features covered in dirt and crying from fear and pain was completely new to him. He had seen her embarrassed a thousand times. (Mostly from seeing her in some state of undress) he had seen her upset. (When she and he were about to challenge her sister Tsuruko) And he had seen her angry. (Him seeing any of the girls in some state of undress) but he had never seen her quite like this.

“Motoko I think if I throw the end of my belt to you, you will be able to reach it. Do you think you can do that or do I have to come down there?”

Later she wouldn’t be able to tell anyone why but for some reason she didn’t want to be pulled up while hanging onto the end of his belt. She needed to feel him close to her. And although she would never admit it out loud to anyone later, she knew that she wanted to hug him for a while. And this was the perfect opportunity to get what see had been longing for since she had admitted her love for him at the springs.

“I don’t think I can.” She lied. “I scraped my arms up pretty bad when the flooring gave way. I…I hurt all over Keitaro. And this place is angry. It doesn’t know we are here to restore the harmony of this place. It is mad that it has been left alone for too long. It feels like this place has lost its purpose. The balance here is gone. All of the good this place once did is…well it’s been swallowed up by a regretful spirit. This place is truly turned to darkness. Keitaro I want to get out of here.” Motoko said her voice and body shaking

“Ok Motoko, I am coming down.”

Carefully he lowered his body over the lip of the hole and dropped his feet over the edge to step down on the metal box Motoko had struck her leg on. The creeping down he crawled over next to where Motoko lay sobbing.

As soon as he was within reach she leaned up quickly as held him tightly. He had been this way since the first day she met him. He had time and time again acquiesced to all of the girls. He found his happiness by serving them. Once again regret for her numerous assaults on him flooded her system. This was the man she had come to love and admire. A man that was always giving to others, and he never seemed to want to take anything from anyone. He was humble to a fault. In fact he rarely ever asked for the praise he deserved. She continued to cling to him, letting the warmth of his body infuse her soul. She let his natural kindness wash away her fears and worries. She felt the coldness and darkness of her surroundings be defused by his natural love and affection for everyone around him.

“Are you going to be ok Motoko?” He said as a slight smile crossed his lips, but she could still see the worry in his eyes.”

“I will be Kei-kun. But I think that I am going to need to get to a doctor for my leg. Now can you please help me out of this hole?”

“Ok Mo-chan I will get you out of here don’t worry.”

The space he had to work with wasn’t much. Positioning himself to the side of the injured samurai girl and as carefully as he could, he helped her to climb up over the edge of the hole and back up into the dimly lit dojo. Looking down he took a quick glance at the metal box that Motoko had fallen onto and he had used for a steeping block down into this hole he knew he couldn’t understand it but something about it disturbed him. But he had no time for that now he had to get Motoko to the doctor so that he could have a look at her leg.

Reaching up he pulled himself up and out of the hole.

“I want to get out of here Kei-kun. Please? Let’s just get out of here.”
“Ok Mo-chan how do you want me to do this? I can carry you wedding fashion or fireman’s carry or piggyback. Which way do you want me to get you back Mo-chan.?”

“I have a better idea Kei-kun.” Reaching up Motoko wrapped her arms firmly around his neck and slung her legs about his waist.

Getting the general Idea Keitaro got a firm grip around her back and started off back towards the apartments.

It wasn’t long though before he found that he could not hold her up properly with his arms about her middle. Shifting his grip he tried to hold her up by getting a grip under her arms while she continued to cling to his neck.

And finally it came to him whenever mothers carried the children thusly they had to keep one hand or arm firmly underneath the child. Ever so slowly, so as not to incur her suspicions Keitaro slipped his hands downward and cupper her by her buttocks. Using his hands he finally had the strength to lift her up and keep her there.

Motoko smiled to herself as Keitaro fumbled his arms around her as he tried to keep her in his grip while walking. She knew that it wasn’t a lack of strength that was causing him problems. It was the complicated way she had chosen for him to carry her. This position was complicated for two reasons:

She was still noticeably taller than he was.

2. The position she had chosen to have him carry her required more than just a little bit of intimacy when done between two adults.

Finally he got the picture and slipped his hands underneath her to grip her buttocks. Sighing inwardly with pleasure at the feel of his hands on her so intimately Motoko leaned down and snuggled her head into his neck. When she was sure he was getting too tired to notice she pursed her lips and planted two kisses on him. The first was where she could see his collarbone disappearing into his neck, the second right behind the lower part of his ear.

When he felt something warm and moist lightly touch his neck Keitaro thought Motoko might be crying. But when he felt he lips behind his ear he knew different. The desire to return her kisses was almost undeniable but he knew that she needed medical attention more than she needed loving at the moment. But the thoughts of just where he was holding her and the fact that she had planted not one, but TWO kisses in places that were not only sensitive to him, they were highly erotic. That combination of factors caused some blood to rush to his face heating his skin and a lot of blood to rushed elsewhere causing that most sensitive part of him to rise to the occasion.

When she felt Keitaro start to blush Motoko smiled warmly to herself. But when she felt his member start to prod at her through her hakama between her already open thighs she thought she would die from embarrassment if anyone saw her like this.

Although it only took about twenty minutes to walk down the path to what was left of the dojo it took Keitaro the better part of an hour to haul Motoko back up to the Hinata. Once there he gently set her down on the sofa. Quickly dialing the emergency number Keitaro summoned an ambulance to take Motoko to the hospital in town.

Going back into the sitting room he really looked at her for the first time in quite a while.

She was still one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. But lately something had changed. He knew that in a real fight most of her opponents would be decimated by her skill with a sword. But that side that made her a woman. The one where she stashed all of her troubles and fears had been showing up more and more recently. Small things like admitting her fear of turtles and why she was afraid of them. It’s like she wanted him to see her not only as a skilled warrior but as a woman.

Walking over to her he tapped her lightly on the bottom of her foot to get her attention “Motoko they said they would be here in about twenty minutes. Would you like me to make you some tea while you wait? It might help you to relax until they arrive.”

“Yes Kei-kun I would like a cup of tea thank you” Motoko smiled at his retreating back. ‘He is still fairly clueless and innocent’ she thought happily ‘Even with Naru slipping down to sleep with him at night he still doesn’t understand the signals a woman gives off to let a man know she would like to be with him. Yet, if he were not so innocent he would not be the man I have come to love.’

Ten minutes later Keitaro returned holding a large mug of green tea with honey in it. Handing the mug to her he smiled when she sipped the tea and closed her eyes in pleasure. ‘Knowing how the girls like their tea has its advantages.’ He thought to himself.

“Keitaro, would you start rubbing my leg again?” Motoko asked allowing as small grimace of pain to cross her features. “The way you were rubbing it earlier seemed to help with the pain.”

“O…of course Mo-chan.” Keitaro stammered hesitantly “I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. A…and I know that you are not one to allow physical contact with me. I was trying to figure out how to apologize to you for my unwanted physical contact with you.”

“Urashima sometimes you are the ultimate baka, do you know that?” Motoko glowered at the humble man before her. “Did I not tell you in the hot springs how I felt about you? I know that it is going to take some time for you to get used to the fact that instead of trying to erase you from existence for touching me I actually desire it instead. Of all of the men I have ever met you are the one who has constantly tried to treat all of us girls with honor. You put up with us judging you just because you are clumsy at times, or for the fact that you would walk into an area where if we had followed our own rules and posted a sign you would never had even come near. Those two so called friends of yours that you used to hang around are the typical type of men that caused me to judge all me the way I do. But even when you were completely innocent you would apologize to us when you would trip and fall, or run into us by accident. You have shown me that you have more heart than most three men put together. And to complete the picture I have of you Kei-kun. You have shown a level of fortitude that few people anywhere possess. I have attacked you time and time again, but where as other men would have been gravely injured from my attacks, you have bounced back time and time again. In fact after each attack you have become stronger than you were before. And then you went off for a year with that lazy Seta to assist him in . I thought that when you finally left that things would return to normal for me. Instead I found that life had become dull and lifeless. You have become such an integral part of my life that I can no longer go about my life without you in it. And if that means that if I want to be a part of your life I must share you with six other women in order to be near you, so be it. My family has served every since the founding of the nation. And as much pride as we have in that fact our family must admit that your clan has done so as well. Your clan is as steeped in tradition as mine. But where my clan has stagnated to the point were we are becoming extinct, yours has made enough forays into the modern would to ensure its survival long into the future. I and my sister are the last of the true Aoyamas. We are dying out. The type of energy we use in our training makes it nearly impossible for us to conceive. My sister returned to our home when her husband found himself unable to get children on her. He is demanding a divorce currently because she has been unable to get children by her, never mind the fact that he took Aoyama as his name when they married. He sees her inability to get pregnant with his children as a weakness in her. If I or my sister were to use any of the attacks I have used on you against him he would be in desperate need of medical attention.”

“But Motoko, if what you are saying is true doesn’t that mean that If we were to be together as husband and wife wouldn’t I be affected the same way?” Keitaro interrupted nervously.

“I do not think so. The different attack I have used against you so wrongly should have left you maimed. Instead you have grown stronger. Watching you over the past few years it has seemed to me that you have somehow been able to absorb the energy of the different attacks used against you. Not only mine, but Naru’s and the other girls as well. When you first arrived here I thought that it would only be a couple of weeks before to turned and fled back to where you came from. Instead you stuck by all of us. No matter how much we abused you or took advantage of you, you stayed. I knew that when you allowed me to use you as a practice dummy in order to free Naru from that cursed necklace that there was something different about you. And now I am sure of it. You have shown honor, patience loyalty and humility. You are more of a man than you let on to anyone. And I witness before the Kami that the only thing that you need now is a sense of pride for what you have accomplished.”
Their talk was interrupted when a voice called from the doorway “Is this where the young lady is injured?”

Keitaro straightened suddenly and answered quickly “She is in here. Please, come in.”

“What happened here young man?” the paramedic asked rudely “She looks as if you have been using her as a punching bag. I will have you know that we do not take kindly to men who abuse women around here. I ought to summon the police right now.”

Keitaro started to stammer a reply but was cut off when a chilling voice from Motoko answered “I am injured because I am overseeing the renovations of a dojo. The floorboards are rotted thru and I fell. Mr. Urashima carried me up here from that building after pulling me from the hole in the floor.”

“It doesn’t look that way to me young lady. I fully intend to press charges against this man for the abuse you have suffered at his hands. Now let me get my colleague and we will take you away from here. I am sure once you are separated from him you will feel much safer.” And with that the man turned about and summoned his coworker to assist him. The next thing he knew he was laying facedown after being flung to the roof as if tossed by a giant hand.

His coworker came flying thru the door to see an enraged Motoko holding her bokkan clenched in both hands and her eyes were blazing.

“Why did you attack him? He was just here to help you.” The now nervous medic asked.

“That baka accused my fiancé of abusing me. Does it look like I am one to put up with abuse? He has slandered the man that I love and impugned my honor by called me a liar when I explained to him what happened. I did not even use half of my currant ability to teach him the truth of my words. If I had truly meant to harm him he would be dead now.” Motoko’s voice was like ice.

“V…V…Very well miss uh, Aoyama is it. We will just take you to the ambulance now. Your uh, fiancé will have to remain here. Until you are wed you are not technically related and we are not allowed to give unrelated civilians rides to the hospital for any reason. So now I will just…”

His voice was cut to nothing because as the unfortunate man reached for her both of Motoko’s hands shot out and grasped him by two separate pressure points. The first was the point where his collarbone attached to the base of his shoulder. Her second grip placed her thumb in his armpit.”

“Mr. Urashima will be the one to carry my to the ambulance. He will also be the one to wheel me into the hospital. And until I am seen by the doctor nobody else will even think of touching me…UNDERSTAND?”

The medic would have loved to argue with her but for some reason the fact that both of his arms had gone completely numb coupled with the fact that he was getting light headed from lack of blood to his brain made it hard to convince her otherwise. He had heard of this happening before and he knew that there was no chance that a judge would allow her to be prosecuted. Especially if her legs were broken as he suspected. Forcing himself to try and relax he finally managed to stammer an answer “Very well miss. Your young man will be allowed to carry you to the ambulance. And we will allow him to push you into the hospital but one of us will have to help him guide the gurney if that is ok with you?”

“That will be sufficient. Now move so that he can help me onto the gurney. I am supposing it is just outside?”

“No miss, it is at the bottom of the stairs. We found it to be to difficult to bring it all the way up here. That is why we were going to carry you.”

“Keitaro will carry me down then. I don’t want either of you MEN to lay a finger on me.”

At that statement the medic quickly got out of the way so that Keitaro could lift her. Once again he bent down and picked her up and carried her child fashion. The medic was about to suggest a better way to carry her but the look she shot him closed his mouth instantly. So he just bent down and helped his terrified coworker to his feet.

Motoko once again felt the security of being held by the man she loved. It didn’t matter to her that the two idiots employed to do this thought her odd. She was not about to pass up the chance that presented itself.

Keitaro however thought he might end up going to jail. It didn’t matter that she had been telling the truth. That first medic had sworn to see him jailed for abusing a woman. It was only a matter of time before his luck ran out and someone found out about the girls plans for him. He knew he had always had rotten luck. And now he was going to have to explain everything to the magistrate. At the bottom of the stairs Keitaro gently placed Motoko on the gurney and helped wheel it up into the back of the ambulance. Then he went up to sit in the front seat with the driver.

The second medic didn’t know what to say. He wouldn’t have believed it unless he had seen it for himself. That young man had just carried a full grown woman, larger than himself down that long flight of stairs. He suspected that his coworker had been ranting before but now he was almost sure of it. Nobody could be that gentle with someone they wanted to abuse. He still wasn’t sure about the patient. She seemed to harbor a hatred of men, which seemed to further dispute his friend’s accusation.

The trip to the hospital was passed in eerie silence. The medics didn’t want to upset the patient. And the patient’s friend didn’t want to upset the medics.

When they arrived at the hospital Keitaro wheeled Motoko into the room they had set aside for her. Then he went out into the lobby to make a couple of phone calls. The first one was to let Tsuruko know what happened to let her know that he would tell her what is going on. She wasn’t there so he left a message on her machine.

His second call went out to the Hinata seaside resort. As it turned out they were there. Mitsuné answered.

“Hinata seaside resort may I help you?”

“Mitsuné, thank heavens I got thru. Look Motoko fell thru the floorboards of the dojo. I have her in the hospital now.”

“Goodness is she going to be alright?”

“She probably will be but her ankles are really swollen. They think she might have broken them. I don’t know I haven’t spoken with the doctor yet. I do know that they have ordered x-rays.”

“She will be fine honey don’t worry. Now are you ok? You sound kind of freaked out.”

“I probably will be, but I might have to spend some time in jail first.”

“JAIL, why are you going to jail?”

“The first medic on the scene took one look at Motoko and started swearing up and down that I abused her. Then when he turned his back Motoko nailed him with some kind of attack from her bokkan. If my gut is correct the guys probably going to try to have me arrested.”

“That baka, everyone around here knows her skill with that or any other stick. If he tries that I’ll have his guts for garters.”

“I think that’s the last thing we need right now is somebody hurting him worse than he is now. Anyway just in case I have left a message for Tsuruko just in case.”

“In that case you have good news. We met up with Tsuruko here and she decided to stay for a little while.”

“I have to get off the phone can you tell her what happened and have her come here if possible. There is a policeman gesturing that he would like to have a talk with me. Don’t be surprised if my next call comes to you from jail.”

“Hang on Keitaro honey the cavalry is on its way. Keitaro…Keitaro???”
