(A/N: Hey guys. Its been a while since I have had time to write and I really wanted to try an idea for a Love Hina fic. I have read all 14 mangas and seen 1 dvd of the anime, so I think I know the story well enough to write this fic. The premise of this story is that set some were before volume 9, Keitaro gets a date with Naru and is transformed into a girl by a spirit who has her own plans. I don't know how this will turn out as it is a new idea for me, so criticism is greatly needed here, and input on making the story better is also needed. Well, I hope you enjoy the beginning of this story, which I hope you will enjoy as a whole.)

The Eternal Saga Of Lost Spirits

Chapter One: The One That Found A Home

Keitaro found himself at the bottom of the stairs to Hinata Sou once again. Not by a super punch, nor by a hangover. Keitaro has landed a date with Naru and he couldn't be happier. That is, until he started feeling sick.

"Argh, of all the things that could happen, I should have known.", groaned Keitaro, crawling up the stairs. "I finally get a date and I get sick. Maybe If I just sleep it off."

When Keitaro got to the door of Hinata Sou, he propped himself up and walked doubled over into the common room. Shinobu walked in and nearly had a heart attack.

"Sempai!", Shinobu shouted. "Are you okay? You look like your in horrible pain!"

"Im fine, Shinobu.", said Keitaro. "Or I will be if I can just get to my room so I can sleep. Im really tired and that might help my pain."

"Okay, stay right there. I will go get some help to get you upstairs.", said Shinobu, going off to find someone.

"Naru! Motoko!", shouted Shinobu, running to the laundry deck failing her arms. "Come quick! Sempai is really sick!"

Naru gasped and ran after Shinobu, Motoko following fast behind. When they reached the common room, Keitaro was barely awake.

"Please, help me to my room...", gasped Keitaro. "I just need to rest."

"Okay, Naru, get one arm and I will get the other.", said Motoko, grabbing Keitaro's left arm. "Okay now on the count of three lift up and get him to his room. 1...2...3!"

Keitaro's vision quickly became blurry and his memory hazy. Naru and Motoko just barely got Keitaro on his futon before be fell into a fast sleep.

"That was weird...", said Naru. "He was fine a few hours ago. I wonder what made him so sick."

"Probably something he ate.", Motoko sighed, making Shinobu gasp. "But I'm certain its nothing you cooked, Shinobu."

"Well, I guess we should just let him sleep.", Naru said, as the girls were leaving the room. "I hope he will be better in the morning..."

So the night went on as normal, dinner was quiet, as was the rest of the night. The girls had resolved not to disturb Keitaro until the morning, so noone witnessed the rays of light shooting from Keitaro's room.

Early in the morning, Naru lay in her futon, unable to sleep.

"Poor Keitaro.", thought Naru. "If only I could tell him how much I love him, then I could be there at his side. It just tears me up inside to see him like this!" Naru thought again for a moment then decided to go down the hole to check on Keitaro. But Naru was not prepared for what she would see next. On Keitaro's futon lay a girl, with long blue hair, dressed in the clothes Keitaro had been wearing the pervious day, fast asleep.

"What in the name of Kami?", said Naru, falling down the hole with a soft thump. "Who are you?"

The girl woke up. "Nani? Who's there?", asked the girl, scanning the room, and putting on Keitaro's glasses. "Oh, its just you, Naru. Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Who are you?", asked Naru, in a state of shock. "And what are you doing in Keitaro's clothes and in his futon?"

"Naru, are you feeling okay?", replied the girl. "Its me, Keitaro."

"No, your not.", said Naru. "Keitaro does not have breasts."

The girl looked down at her chest and let out a scream. "AHH WHAT THE HELL? HOW DID THOSE GET THERE?"

This scream sent Motoko running into the room, katana ready. "Alright, just what is going on...in...here?", Motoko's words broke down as she looked at the girl claiming to be Keitaro.

"This has to be a bad dream!", whispered the girl, grabbing her head. "I will wake up and I will be the same old Keitaro! There is no way this has happened!"

"Yes there is.", said Su, walking into the room, followed by Mitsumi, Kitsune, Shinobu. "Until now I have only herd stories, but now I know they are true." Everyone looked at the uncharacteristic tone coming from Koalla Su. "Looking back on how sick Keitaro was yesterday its so obvious. If this person truly is Keitaro Urashima, then he has taken on a second spirit, a female."

"Su, what on earth are you talking about?", asked Kitsune. "That makes no sense!"

"Of course it does.", replied Motoko. "I too have herd of this. Long ago, when I sat in the god's cry dojo, listening to the history of the school, I recall hearing about people taken over by lost spirits. They are not demons, so they cannot be slain like normal, for both the body and the spirits will be destroyed."

"De...destroyed?", gasped Shinobu, passing out.

"Hey! Shinobu, you cant do that!", said Kitsune, trying to wake Shinobu. "Thats Mitsumi's job!"

"Hai.", said Misumi. "So does that make her Kei-chan?"

"I will take a D.N.A sample and run some tests on it with my computer.", said Su, pulling one of the girl's hairs. "Then we will know for sure if she is really Keitaro."

"Until then, everyone to the living room.", said Naru. "You too, lets go."

Later on, all eyes were on the girl in question as Su entered with the results.

"I got da results right here in dis folder!", exclaimed Su, as a silence fell over the room. "And surprisingly, that girl is indeed Keitaro Urashima. All his male genes have been switched to female ones when the two spirits merged."

"Its all clear now.", said Keitaro. "Now that she has explained it, its clear to me."

"Who did what now?", asked Naru. "What are you babbling about?"

"The spirits name is Ninamori.", replied Keitaro. "And she says she is sorry."

"You can hear her?", asked Kitsune.

"Hai.", replied Keitaro. "Its like a voice in my head. We talk about a lot of things."

"What is she saying right now, Sempai?", asked Shinobu. "Ask her about why you look like that."

"Ninamori says that this body is a composite of both of our bodies.", replied Keitaro. "Like if we had a child or something similar. And since your all thinking it, yes I am now a full female, which means I get everything that comes with the gender."

"Well, I for one think...", said Mitsumi. "Make a very attractive girl, Kei-kun!"

Keitaro blushed and the collective room sweat dropped.

"Uh, someone can I borrow some clothes?", Keitaro laughed nervously. "None of mine fit right anymore."
