I don't own Love Hina. Love Hina belongs to Ken Akamatsu. I dedicate this story to all fanfic readers and writers. I am thankful to all of you for keeping the story alive. Ken should be grateful. It's truly amazing how we push the boundaries of our own imaginations. After reading so many fanfictions there has been an idea nagging in my head that keeps me awake for hours at night. And I'd just like to get this thing out of my system. Torture me with your reviews.

What's this about you say? Well? It's a story about the Hinata gang under terror attack. I warn you – this is full of intrigue – a dose of mystery; action-packed and emotionally charged fiction. And don't worry – everybody will be here! I won't leave anyone!

I'm not a good writer. For all the spelling and grammar mistakes, I apologize in advance.

This is based on the anime. After the Spring Special to be exact. Read on.

Book 1 - The day after tomorrow

How far will you go to save the people you care the most?

2305. Fri. Hinata.

It came from the surrounding trees, away from the long brick steps. A lone figure, jumping from one tree to another. Cautious and quick, it used the shadow of the trees to cover its movements and the noise of the rustling leaves to dampen its sound.

A full moon is shining down on the empty streets of the Hinata. There is an eerie silence, aside from the occasional rustle of the trees as the cold summer wind breeze through. At this time, most of the residents are either sleeping or preparing for bed. But this is no ordinary night. There is a gloom in the atmosphere like a black blanket covering the whole Hinata. There is a foreboding darkness in the air, an unnatural chill in the wind. Evil is afoot at the Hinata.

The lone figure suddenly stopped. Hiding behind the thick bushes, it slowly turned, giving the long brick steps a last look, and then dashed forward again, careful not to make any noise, dissolving into the darkness of the night.

It took 20 minutes for it to reach the destination, a hill, at the outskirts of the Hinata, a meeting place. After reaching the top, it knelt beside a boulder, trying hard to control its breathing.

A soft sound.

The newcomer shivered and quickly bowed, pressing its head to the ground.

"They are all set," it whispered.

Silence.

Slowly, the newcomer moved backward, keeping its head on the ground, then turned without looking up and quietly left, disappeared into the night again.

For a moment the hill was empty. Then slowly, a shadow rose. Long hair swaying with the wind. Its face, a mask of darkness, except for the eyes. Its eyes are shining like the moonlight. Its eyes are dancing with malicious fire. And it's looking down … at the Hinata Apartments.

2355. Fri. Hinata Tea House.

The telephone has been ringing for some time. Haruka, the proprietor of the small teahouse just came out of the bathroom. It was quiet tonight, like any other Friday night. Most of the teahouse patrons are Hinata elderly people and students who usually retire earlier than most Friday night party goers.

The telephone kept ringing. Haruka was hoping that whoever it was who was trying to call her would just give up. It was getting annoying. It's late. Who would possibly call her at this time?

Haruka noticed that a bottle of sake was left at a nearby table. She just remembered that Kitsune, a Hinata apartment resident, the resident fox-lady, the resident joker and a full time drinker came in an hour ago. Haruka could simply say no to her but it was really quiet tonight and so she gave in. They had a little bout, exchanged news and views, and then called the night off.

She lazily moved towards the table, pick up the almost empty bottle of sake and walked towards the telephone.

This better be good, she thought then gave a very bored, "Hello,"

The background noise was ear splitting. Haruka mumbled a curse and was about to put the phone down when she heard a familiar voice.

"--- HARUKA?? --- IS THAT YOU?? ---,"

"What the? Seta?" Haruka said with a grimace, pushing the phone further away from her ear. The noise is unbearable.

"--- I'm so sorry to call you at a time like this ---," it was clear that Seta was struggling behind the noise.

"Where are you? Are you still at the island? What's that noise?" she said with an effort.

"--- I'm at the island's airport and I'm trying to get my plane ready --- sorry, excuse me --- YES! I need to fly now! ---- I SAID NOW!" more noise, "--- Umm, I'm really sorry about this Haruka,"

"What do you mean at the airport? Are you finished with your excavations?"

"--- YES! I HAVE MONEY, just get me back to Japan! ---," more noise, "--- sorry, what did you say Haruka? Umm ---,"

Something's wrong. Seta sounded … shaken. Haruka thought, her concern deepened. It's not everyday that Seta loose control. And not like this.

"--- Haruka, is everything alright in there? ---,"

An odd question. "Yes, everything's alright in here,"

"--- I'll be flying back there. I left Sarah in here with my other colleagues ---," more noise, "--- she's a bit upset, but it's for her own safety ---,"

Safety? "What's going on Seta?" Haruka said coldly now, her patience running out, willing Seta to get to the point.

"--- I'm not sure if you'll believe me ---," more noise, "--- I received a letter, I think it'll be better if you see it for yourself,"

A Letter? "What letter? What are you talking about?"

"--- I don't know how they found me, but, --- YES! PLEASE! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD JUST GET THE FREAKING PLANE READY!" there was a sudden exchange of harsh words and from the tone of it Seta has blown a fuse. After a few seconds, the noise died down a little bit, and a more composed Seta spoke, "sorry about that, I guess there's no helping it. Anyway. I'll be flying in a few minutes, 'just convinced a daredevil to fly me back there. Haruka. I don't know how I can explain this but I just want you to be a bit more alert than usual,"

ALERT!? "You better have a good explanation Seta when you get back," Haruka said through gritted teeth.

"--- I will, I just want you to be careful --- crap! I'm out of battery! ---," Seta cut off.

The line went busy. Haruka's mind is in great confusion. It took her a full minute before replacing the phone on the cradle. There are so many unanswered questions. But Seta's behavior worried her the most. She couldn't believe that something could shake him that badly.

What could have shaken Seta that much? What is it? And a letter?

Haruka shivered. She walked towards the windows and started locking. She lifted one window and looked out.

Be a bit more careful? -- It's a full moon tonight. An omen? And it's awfully chilly too.

Haruka shivered again, closed and locked the window, then went to bed.
