Love Hina IF Chapter 4

In the dense foliage of the forest, Motoko and Keitaro ( In a grayish – Blue body suit the same as Solid Snake of Metal Gear fame wore)

Keitaro helps Motoko by using his shoulders to support her, and while keeping a mindful eye on his surroundings.

Keitaro still sense the large crystalline wolf. That they earlier encountered, it was still pursing them.

As they reach a river bank, Keitaro felt that monster that was chasing them suddenly stopped and turn away form them.

Keitaro was puzzled, he was sure that thing could catch up to them.

Keitaro in his mind "Did it let us go ? Or something made it go away?"

As they continued on the river bank, Motoko felt something, it was calling her, She tells Keitaro to head on that direction.

Motoko directed Keitaro into a small Shin Me Ryu shrine, on the shrine grounds on the post there were a couple of protective paper talismans.

Keitaro and Motoko enter inside the small shrine. Keitaro gently and slowly settle down the wounded Motoko.

Motoko put her back on the wall trying to make herself comfortable, she sees Keitaro unpacking something, her eyes gaze Keitaro.

Keitaro finds a fast aid spray and he hands it over to Motoko.

Keitaro " Motoko-san, you can use this to treat your wounds, but it might sting a bit." Hand over the fast aid spray.

Motoko " Keitaro ….." She hid her eyes on her bang and spoke in a serious tone "What in the world are you? Are you a soldier?"

Keitaro took a breath and sigh " Well, I'm more of a mercenary, than a soldier … I'm sorry Motoko-san, but I can't tell you anymore."

Keitaro tell Motoko that he'll be just outside, Motoko ask why. Keitaro scratches the back of his head and replies "It's rude of me to be here while you're treating your wounds."

Motoko slightly blushed. Keitaro silently goes out and closes the door.

After Motoko finished treating her wounds (Note she slightly wounded, it more of her pride that was hurt than her body) She open the shrine's door and saw Keitaro on the shrine grounds.

Keitaro was busy assembling his weapons which he was able to get in such short time.

On the ground laid a M4 Carbine with a grenade launcher , a 20 mm anti vehicle sniper rifle, a pair of FN 90 sub machine guns and lastly he finish assembling 45 caliber SOCOM pistol

Never in Motoko life could she imagine seeing Keitaro yielding firearms: how he acted when he fought the large wolf, he was calm, serious and in the back of Motoko's mind he look cool.

Unlike the "Old" Keitaro a couple months before, Clumsy, always panicking and always unsure of himself. The one thing that stayed the same was his innate gentleness and kindness.

Motoko "Keitaro-kun , Are you sure that you can handle that thing? That monster is very powerful; I don't think normal weapons can finish off that thing."

Keitaro " I'm just preparing myself, if the situation arises that I need to fight. Your right, with the equipment that I have, I can't beat that thing. "

Motoko sense Keitaro's demeanor that he plans to fight that monster.

Motoko " Keitaro …. Why do you have to fight ?… …. I beg of you please don't fight that thing …. I don't want you to get hurt …. (coughs) I meant I don't want you to get involve in this."

Keitaro in serious tone "Anyone or anything that hurts my friends, that reason is enough for me to fight. To fight to protect people that I care about."

Motoko is taken back by what Keitaro said

….

Later that early evening Keitaro tells Motoko that he'll sleep outside of the shrine/cabin for he doesn't what to intrude Motoko's private space or privacy.

Motoko in the past usually would agree with that arrangement, for she distrust men. But this was different; she feels that she can trust this man in front of her. She felt that she could trust Keitaro.

Motoko compose herself " Keitaro- kun, I don't particular mind if you stay inside (Cabin/Shrine) with me."

Keitaro kindly smiles he tell her that it's impolite of him if he stays, that he might disturb her and add that she should get some rest after all she's injured. He quietly goes out of the cabin.

Late that cold evening, Motoko found old table cloth and used I to blanket herself. The cold was bone chilling.

She wonders how Keitaro is faring. If it bone chillingly cold inside, it must be freezing outside. She silently opens the door.

Motoko sees Keitaro sleeping upright leaning on a wooden post, his arms are cross on his chest. Before Motoko could speak

Keitaro opens his left eye "Motoko … .. san ?"

Motoko a bit surprised she didn't expect Keitaro to notice her.

Motoko a bit hesitant " Hey, Keitaro-kun ….. ….. doesn't the cold brother you ?"

Keitaro scratches his cheek " Well … sort of … But nothing that I can't handle."

Motoko " Well I was wondering …. … I would appreciate the company, its quite lonely inside (Cabin )

Keitaro take up the offer, inside the cabin Motoko and Keitaro were the opposite sides of the room.

Motoko sees Keitaro sleeping upright leaning on the wall. She's been staring Keitaro for sometime. She silently goes to Keitaro and sat near beside him. She blanketed herself and Keitaro.

Motoko doesn't understand what she did or what is she feeling. As she leans closer to Keitaro, she felt the warmth of his body and she leans gently on his shoulders. She felt warm and cozy and slowly slept beside Keitaro.

Keitaro has been silently observing the "Situation" that he's in, in mind he's been wondering Motoko's actions. But being a dense person the answer that he's looking for will not be found soon .

In the Shin Mer Ryu shrine, in the early hours of dawn, Motoko was awaken by a loud sound. She quickly bolted out of the shrine's grounds, for she knew that Keitaro started engaging the monster by himself.

As Motoko quickly dashed out of the area she mumble "Keitaro no Baka! ( Keitaro you idiot!)

On a hill side on the opposite direction on the shrine. Keitaro is in sniping position using the 20 mm anti vehicle rifle is taking pot shots at the large crystal wolf.

Shot after shots Keitaro unloads all of the 20 mm rifles ammo, and use a binocular. He sees the large wolf enter the forests and is headed towards his direction.

Keitaro " Alright just as planned, good wolfie."

Inside the middle of the forest eruptions of gunfire began. Using the M4 grenade launcher he hit wolfs face, with little effect making it only angry.

He continues attacking with the M4 with full auto and parrying the monster's attacks, the monster finds an opening. Keitaro quickly used the M4 a mock shield to block the attack.

Because of the impact Keitaro was throw off and hit his back on a tree but quickly recover his ground by using some fancy acrobatic maneuver, he throws away the broken M4. Then spit blood on ground and use the pair of FN 90 began a "Run n Gun battle"

In Keitaro mind " 10 minutes! Just need to hold on for 10 more minutes!"

Keitaro doges the mighty blow of the monster, on impact leaving a large crater blowing away the trees in the air. He quickly jumps on the blow off tree using them as platforms.

Quickly jumping and zipping though the debris Keitaro unloads a full clip of the pair FN 90

Motoko is still trying to find Keitaro, when she reach part of the forest where Keitaro and the beast fought.

No single tree was left standing, a lot of bullet cartridges, gun magazines, but what alerted Motoko the most was the trail of blood . She continued her search with more haste.

Then Motoko felt a sudden burst of wind there was a huge sonic boon. As she look up in the air the was a huge transparent shape in the sky ( Note It's the B3 Spirit equip with optical sheath camouflage )

Keitaro sees the B3 de-camouflage. The B3 Spirit drops a large metal case and hits the monsters body temporary immobilizing it

The furious crystal wolf shakes off the heavy metal case on its back, as the metal case broke open in revel a one ton GU-8 20 mm Anti tank Vulcan cannon ( Note the same as ones that the A 10 Thunderbolt uses)

Keitaro quickly go to the case where the GU 8 was Keitaro was breathing heavily, a shouted " Lamada Driver!" ( People that watch Full metal panic should know this)

A powerful pulse of energy engulf his Keitaro's body, The huge crystal wolf attacks, but was stop by a barrier. Keitaro lifts the one ton 20 mm gatling gun and pointed it barrels at the wolf's face.

As the gun barrel spin it unleash super sonic projectiles hitting the wolf face then it was thrown off in to a corner. Keitaro expended all 5000 rounds. He lets go of the heavy gatling and on his knees deactivates the Lamada Driver vomits a lot of blood.

As the smoke clears the crystal wolf is badly wounded but its recovering its wounds quickly, and it really looked pissed. Keitaro struggles to stand up, the large monster jumps at him and attack

Then a blast of wind hits the wolf it was Motoko's Zankuzen. She stands in front of Keitaro

Motoko " Keitaro! Answers me! Danm it! Don't you dare die on me !"

Keitaro cough a bit " Motoko-san….. " his left hand hold his right shoulder " I ….

Motoko in serious tone "Keitaro, I will protect you, I swear by my pride as Shin Mer Ryu !"

Keitaro " Thanks and sorry …. I wasn't strong enough….."

Motoko " Keitaro, stand back." in a battle stance " Come! You Monster!" an incredible amount of chi erupted from Motoko. Then in Motoko's thoughts " You're strong enough too me … you baka …..

Motoko and the crystal wolf fought luckily it seems all of Keitaro's took an effect on the wolf chi absorbing abilities now Motoko can deal real damage on the monster.

It was a fast paste battle Motoko attacking with every of her known moves, but still no matter how much damage that that receive it just keep on healing itself.

The monster lunches a powerful blow Motoko blocks it with the Hina blade, but because of strength of blow the Hina blade was shattered and she was thrown off on the wall and fell unconscious.

Just as wolf was closing in to finish off the unconscious Motoko. Keitaro stood on its path. He carry the now ammo depleted Gu-8 and Shouted "You Bastard! How dare you hurt Motoko-san! Lamada Driver! Safety release !

Keitaro swing that one ton gatling gun like a regular base ball bat. Blow after furious blow finally with all his might he throws off the monster into a wall making a cater.

Keitaro fall face first on the ground, very exhausted, convulsing and vomited a lot of blood. To his horror the monster was still alive and what worst is it was headed toward the still unconscious Motoko.

Keitaro try to stand couldn't he yelled Motoko to try to wake her up .Then he saw the hilt of the broken Hina blade.

Keitaro speaking to himself " Sorry grandma … But …. I … I …. I must protect Motoko-san!"

As the monster nears Motoko, she's still hazy just when the wolf was going deliver the finishing blow Keitaro appears in front on the monster and in a blazing speed countless number of crimson slashes dismembered the crystal wolf .

Motoko was in Shock she saw Keitaro holding a crimson katana covered with lighting and then Keitaro fall but Motoko catches him. Motoko sees that Keitaro look pale and felt cold

Motoko " Keitaro ! Hang in there ! What in blazes did you do ?"

Keitaro weakly smile " I …. Was …. Able … to … protect ….. a … person that is important … to me ….. ( coughs) "

Motoko Broke into tears " Don't talk any more … … " Keitaro gently wipe away a tear

Keitaro " Motoko-san … please don't cry …."

Motoko looks at the crimson katana sticking on the ground Motoko has an idea where and how Keitaro got it .

Motoko " That the hilt of the Hina blade right Keitaro?" See Keitaro avoiding her eyes " That color of red crimson …" She know but hesitates " Its Blood right ? Your blood ?"

Keitaro " ….. Akai Uzuki (Crimson pain)"
