<P>I do not own Love Hina, once again…</p><P>And here’s the next chapter! Sorry for all the grammar and spelling errors last chapter, I’ll try to be more careful. And here we go!</p><P></p><P>&#9;“Whaaaat?…” Sarah yelled. She ran over to Shinobu, who was holding a note she found on Shima’s bed. “He better not have left, or I’ll hunt him down and kick his ass myself!”</p><P>&#9;Shinobu, taken aback slightly by Sarah’s outburst, held the note out. “Yep, I found this note on his bed when I was checking up on him earlier this morning…”</p><P>&#9;Sarah growled, then snatched the note away. “Figures, his hand writing is worse than his father’s…” She began to read the note out loud. “…‘Dear Sarah, I cannot deal with the responsibility of being a landlord. I am running off to an unknown place. Do not look for me… Shima’ I’m gonna kill him! I don’t care if I have to search the entirety of Japan!”</p><P>&#9;“No need…” Rikina muttered, walking out of the kitchen. She yawned and took a sip of her coffee. She was wearing a black dress with a short skirt that went down to about two inches of her knees. There were white frills on her sleeves and on the hem of her skirt. In her hair was a black headband, and she was wearing a pair of black knee high boots. “I slipped a tracking device on him when he ran into me earlier…” She then took another sip of her coffee.</p><P>&#9;“… And you didn’t stop him?!” Sarah screamed.</p><P>&#9;“I was too tired…” She began. “Besides… I don’t really care what happens to that pervert…” She turned around and began to walk to the stairs.</p><P>&#9;Sarah, calmed down slightly, smirked and continued to read the note. “ ‘P.S. Tell Rikina that I <I>borrowed</I> her motorcycle… It’s a sweet ride…’ ”</p><P>&#9;Rikina suddenly stopped in her tracks and dropped her coffee mug. “W-what did you say?…” She slowly turned around, glaring, her left eyebrow twitching. “That bastard… I’ll kill him!!!”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;<B>Love Hina Next</p></B><P>&#9;Chapter 2: <I>Road Trip! Search for Yamato!</p></I>

<P>&#9;A few minutes later, the sleepy residents of Hinata House were standing outside. Rikina stared them all down. “Ladies! Our mission is simple… Find that asshole of a landlord and bring him back here! He stole my motorcycle!”</p><P>&#9;“Um…” a confused voice began. “Hello, everyone… What’s going on?”</p><P>&#9;“Ema!” Shinobu exclaimed. “You’re back from your vacation in Okinawa already?”</p><P>&#9;The woman smiled. She had long replaced the glasses with contact lenses. Her new tan hid her freckles quite well. She was wearing a white tank top and shorts, along with sandals. “Yes, and I had quite a good time!”</p><P>&#9;“How’s Mutsumi doing?” Shinobu asked.</p><P>&#9;“Oh, she’s doing quite well, actually! So is Tama-chan!” she began walking toward the group and slipped on a crack in ground, falling on her face. The others sweat dropped. She suddenly got up from the ground. “I’m okay!”</p><P>&#9;Rikina sighed. “Hello, Ema…” She then turned back to the others. “So! Any questions?”</p><P>&#9;“Um, I have one…” Tokimi raised her hand. “Where is he, and how do we get to where ever he is?” She crossed her arms, waiting for an answer.</p><P>&#9;“Well, according to this…” Rikina pulled out a small palm computer and looked at the screen. “He is heading toward Kyoto… So, we just have to go there!”</p><P>&#9;Kaolla smiled and ruffled her younger sibling’s hair. “That’s my little sis! Good with machines, just like her big sis!”</p><P>&#9;“Kaolla…” Rikina began. “Please don’t do that…” She shook her head. “Anyway, about how we get there…” She turned to Sarah, who smiled. Rikina ran back into the house.</p><P>&#9;“Dad lent me his old van, the one equipped with submarine capabilities! That way if he takes a plane or boat, we can still chase him down!” Sarah uncovered the van, opened the door, and got in. “Hop in, everyone!”</p><P>&#9;Shinobu stared at the van, a bit unsure. “I don’t know about this…”</p><P>&#9;“Relax! I learned everything I know from Papa!” Sarah said reassuringly.</p><P>&#9;Shinobu gulped. “That’s what I was afraid of…”</p><P>&#9;Suddenly, Rikina ran back out, carrying boxes filled with all sorts of weapons. Shinobu frowned. “Rikina, it’s just a road trip… You don’t need all those weapons!”</p><P>&#9;Rikina gave Shonoku a blank look. “I know”, she replied calmly, “these are for little Yama-chan…”</p><P>&#9;Everyone else stared in horror except for Kaolla, who chuckled and proclaimed “Atta girl!” She was then stared at by the others. “…What?”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;</p>< ;P>&#9;But eventually, they were on the road. Sarah nodded her head to a song blasting over the radio. “Ah, nothing like traveling the open road with your friends! This reminds me of when we all gathered in this van searching for that other Urashima!”</p>&#9;The others felt ill as Sarah swerved on the road, sometimes almost crashing into other cars. Shinobu paled. “Good lord, she’s worse than Seta!” Fortunately, the music was so loud that Sarah couldn’t hear what she said.</p><P>&#9;Rikina had her arms around her waist as if she had a stomach ache. “I forgot how much I hate car rides…” She looked out the window and saw an advertisement for a nearby burger place. “Please, no food…” She quickly opened the window and stuck her head out, and sighed as she got a breath of fresh air. She took a nice, deep breath. Her eyes widened as she realized that this ‘fresh air’ was highly polluted. She then went into a violent coughing fit.</p><P>&#9;Tokimi sighed as she watched Rikina get carsick and hoped that the van wouldn’t crash. She heard stories from Shinobu about the horrors of watching Seta’s van fly out of nowhere, soaring through the air and crashing into the nearest obstacle. Seta would then pull himself from the wreckage, but not unharmed. Blood spurted and streamed out of and down his head, but he would just smile. The same would happen with Keitaro in later years. Tokimi shuddered. She too remembered the experience of watching the ‘demi-immortals’, as Keitaro and Seta were sometimes called now, survive things that would kill a normal man. She sighed and tried to focus on not panicking.</p><P>&#9;“Look!” Ema yelled. “There he is!” Sure enough, there was Shima. He was riding down the road a bit ahead of them. Sarah suddenly slammed on the gas, the van speeding up. Fortunately, the amount of cars on the road had decreased quite a bit, and they quickly caught up with Shima. Speaking of Shima, he saw the van in the mirror and sped up. The van then sped up even more. Ema coughed. “Um, aren’t we going past the speed limit?”</p><P>&#9;Sarah growled. “So is he!” She eventually got tired of all the chasing. “I’m tired of this! I’m gonna ram him!”</p><P>&#9;Rikina, seemingly forgetting about her car sickness, yanked her head back into the car and screamed. “ What the hell are you thinking?! That’s my favorite motorcycle! Stop! STOP!!!”</p><P>&#9;Sarah suddenly slammed on the brakes. At the speed they were going, plus the fact that the van happened to land on a bump, the car suddenly, flipped over, flew into the air, and landed right in front of Shima, upside down. “Oh, shit!” Shima slammed on the motorcycle’s brakes, the bike skidding to a halt.</p><P>&#9;Rikina was the first to crawl out of the van. She opened the back doors and pulled out a bazooka. She smirked. “Alright, Yama-chan… Hand over the bike or I blow you to tiny bits…”</p><P>&#9;Shima glared. “Don’t call me Yama-chan…” He then smiled. “Besides, you wouldn’t dare blow me away while I’m on this bike of yours…”</p><P>&#9;“Heh heh… You’d be surprised… I’d rather blow it up myself and rebuild it than let you get away with it…” Rikina smirked, then aimed at his head. “Besides, I have good aim…”</p><P>&#9;Shima sighed. “Alright, alright…” Suddenly, he rode off the road… right down a steep hill and onto some rocks below. “Ow…”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;“Well, great…” Sarah began. “We’re stranded, and it’s all your fault…” She glared at Shima. They were all sitting on the side of the road, the van flipped over and the motorcycle broken. “You just had to be selfish… You always were a selfish little boy… Have you seen the old Hinata House? Kaolla and Rikina want to do full out repairs, but I’m afraid of what they’d do…”</p><P>&#9;“Hey!” the 2 Su sisters yelled in protest.</p><P>&#9;Shima frowned sadly. “Sorry…” His eyes wandered over to Ami. She glared at him too. He looked down to the ground. “I really screwed things up, didn’t I?…”</p><P>&#9;“…You sure did…” Tokimi finally said. “How are we going to get home now?”</p><P>&#9;Suddenly, a plane crashed right next to where the group was sitting. Everyone stared, wide-eyed. 2 figures hopped out of the plane, a male and a female. “Yo! How’s everyone doing?” the male figure greeted them.</p><P>&#9;The female figure elbowed him. “Seta, they’re freakin’ stranded… How do you think they feel?”</p><P>&#9;“Heh, heh… Sorry Haruka…” Both Seta and Haruka had streaks of gray hair and a wrinkles or two, but they were looking well for their age. “So! You all want a ride?”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;Gathered on the plane, Sarah coughed. “Papa, how did you find us?”</p><P>&#9;Seta looked back and chuckled. “Well you see, Haruka and I were on our way to help out Keitaro and Naru when Haruka spotted you guys. We’re going to be a bit delayed, though…”</p><P>&#9;Shinobu sighed in relief. “Thanks again, Seta… We can always count on you… But sorry about your van…”</p><P>&#9;Seta smiled. “It was my pleasure, Shinobu… And don’t worry about the van… The poor girl was on her last few miles anyway…” Haruka sweat dropped as she watched the van explode in the distance from her window.</p><P>&#9;Haruka frowned, and punched Seta in the back of the head. “Keep your eyes on the controls, damn it…”</p><P>&#9;“Yes dear…” Seta replied, flinching in pain but still smiling.</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;When they got back home, Seta and Haruka hurriedly flew off into the sunset. Shima hurriedly ran into his room and plopped onto the floor. “Man, what a day… I really, really screwed things up… I bet they all hate me more now than ever before…”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;“Oh, how I hate him, I hate him, I hate him…” Rikina growled, pacing around her room. Her bed room walls were painted in dark colors, and there were tiny gadgets on a table, and spread all over the floor. “And furthermore--”</p><P>&#9;Tokimi sighed. “…You hate him?…”</p><P>&#9;“Exactly! That jerk! How could he even think of abandoning his job as landlord!” She grabbed a nearby wrench. “I swear, if he pulls off something like that again, I’ll--” She suddenly threw the wrench, almost hitting Tokimi in the head.</p><P>&#9;“Hey! Watch it!” Tokimi yelled. “Look, I’ll talk to him tomorrow or something…”</p><P>&#9;“You? Talk to someone without stuttering?” Rikina taunted.</p><P>&#9;“Yeah! I did yesterday!” Tokimi yelled defensively. “Look, I’ll just tell him to be a bit nicer or…”</p><P>&#9;Rikina smirked. “… I’ll kick his ass?”</p><P>&#9;“Erm…” Tomoki bit her lip slightly.</p><P>&#9;Rikini smiled. “I’ll neuter him?”</p><P>&#9;Tokimi’s eyes widened. “No!”</p><P>&#9;Rikina whimpered. “Aw, c’mon… Please?…”</p><P>&#9;Tokimi blushed. “RIKINA SU!!!”</p><P>&#9;Rikina laughed. “Oh come on… I was just kidding!”</p><P>&#9;“You creep me out… Sometimes, you’re all gloomy and gothy and serious, and then this…”</p><P>&#9;“That’s the price one must pay for having 2 completely different idols… Besides being stranded for a while and having my bike wrecked, I’m feeling pretty good right now!”</p><P>&#9;</p><P>&#9;“Dinner’s ready, everyone!” Shinobu yelled. Within minutes, everyone was gathered at the table for dinner. However, when Shima tried to walk to the table, Shinobu grabbed his collar and handed him a Cup O’ Noodles. “This is your dinner until you shape up… Now go to your room.”</p><P>&#9;“But…” Shima began. “But… but…”</p><P>&#9;“You heard the lady…” Rikina teased. “Go to your room, Yama-chan!”</p><P>&#9;“Fine, whatever…” Shima sulked all the way to his room after cooking the noodles. He blew on the hot ramen and sighed. “This bites. This really bites…”</p><B><P>End Chapter 2</P></B>
