[Josun Tomoro]

Chapter 1
Naru was starting to breathe normally again after sending Keitaro into a wall. Then she noticed that the other young man was missing. Looking around, she quickly found him sprawled near Keitaro, still holding his broken glasses.

Naru gasped. She had never hit anyone else when hitting Keitaro. She wasnt exactly sure what to do.

She thought about what he had been doing. If she had heard correctly, he was simply handing Keitaro his broken glasses. She suddenly felt very guilty.

After a moment, she decided to simply help the guy out till he woke up. She quickly went over and picked him up, repeatedly saying the same lines Keitaro used when he peeped. "Im sorry! Im very sorry! I didnt mean to hit you! I was just trying to kill that pervert..."

Josun groaned as he slowly woke up. He tried to sit up, but his entire body seemed to be hurting all over. After a few more tries, he finally gave up.

He stared into the darkness that filled the room. He had no ideal where he was, nor who had brought him, where ever he was. He decide hed try and remeber all the good times he had had at the Druid school.

Snickering, he thought, What good memories? Past setting the teachers hair on fire,..

Suddenly, Josun heard movement, and a voice. He strained his ears, though this made them hurt a little bitmore then everything else did. After a moment, he regonized it as a womans voice.

"Hmmm,.. I think Ill go relax in the open air bath. After I check that guy I decked." He heard her say as she slowly approached the door. Trying once again, he finally succeded on sitting up.

Naru opened the door and switched on the lights. As she walked in, she saw the young man slolwy sit up, till he was looking straight at her. "Hello miss. May I ask why Im here?" Naru blushed as she hastily explained what had happened.

"..And thats it. Im deeply sorry for hurting you. I was only trying to hurt that perverted idiot!" She shouted as she thought of that idiot. After a moment thought, she realized that she was forgetting something. "Oh. By the way, the name is Naru Narusegawa. May I ask what yours is."

Josun got the strange feeling that if he didnt tell her, shed deck him. Smiling a little he stuck out his hand, shaking Narus hand after she, somewhat relucntantly, reached hers out. "Josun Tomoro. Pleasure to meet you."

I know its short, but im thinking on the fly here.




(Note:This chapter is based on the ideal they were in Kyoto longer then it is shown in the manga)
Chapter 2

Josun stayed in Narus apartment for three more days, doing his best to get healed up as fast as he could, so that he could repay the kind young woman for letting him stay. Luckily, if it hadnt been for some of his good druid skills, such as herbal remedies, it would of taken much longer. Naru had been kind enough to buy some of the herbs he didnt have with him. Josun had also made sure she bought it with his money. He was already in her debt for all she had done so far.

By day three, Josun was only showing a few light bruises that hinted at being sent flying across a train car. He sat in the main room, sipping one of his herbal drinks when Naru came in, a confused look on her face.

After setting his cup down, he looked up at her and asked "Whats wrong Narusegawa? Did you forget to go to one of the sightseeing spots?" He remembered her saying something about sight-seeing while she was here in Kyoto.

After setting her bags onto the floor, she came over to the kotatsu and sat down, sighing in contentment at the heat it held. Then she said "I thought I heard a familiar voice today while I was out, but when i looked in the direction it came from, no one was there." She said as she pulled out some books that she bought onto the table. Josun noticed they were college level study books.

He still could sense a feeling of failure. He hadnt felt it was right to ask, but he was cuirous, so he decided to ask, "I dont mean to pry Narusegawa, but why are you buying so many study books? Are you going too do a summer class to pass a class?"

Naru kept her head down after he asked the question. He had seemed kind and cordial so far, so she wasnt sure wether telling him was a bad thing or not. Finally, she said "No, I failed the Tokyo U entrance exams, and decided to go on a trip to think and heal..."

Josun nodded. He had heard that Tokyo U's exams were hard. He had known a few friends back in Osaka who wanted to go, but Josun had been to busy trying to simply pass everything in the Druidic school.

In an attempt to comfort her, he passed her a class of his herbal tea and said, "Dont feel too bad Narusegawa. I failed a major test as well. It was real important to me," and the rest of my family, he thought. "But ive decided not to try again for a long time, not till i get better..."

Naru let out a small smile. It was kinda nice too know there were others who had the same troubles as she did, but then she noticed he hadnt said what he failed. Since she had told him, she felt it made sense to ask him, but he beat her too it.

"It wasnt a college or university i failed at, if youre wondering. I failed a test to join an ancient group of healers called the Druid clan of the East and west. They used to be something close to exorcists, like the Aoyama clan. But we were more of advisors, diplomats, and healers. My parents wanted me to become one like my grandfather,but..." he looked very sad as he said the last bit, making NAru wish she hadnt even thought of it.

Now it was Narus turn to try and comfort Josun. "Now now Josun its okay, really it,.. oahha!!" Naru shouted as she tripped getting up from the kotatsu. in almost three seconds, she fell on top of Josun. (AN: sound familiar? Book 1 reference) Both their faces heated, but before Narus brain could react, Josun lightly pushed her off and picked up one of his herbal books and started hitting his head with it. Naru heard him softly yelling at himself, saying it was his fault. Naru started giggling as she watched him beat him self up for her own clumsieness.

Afterwards, Josun asked if he could go sightseeing with her, since he hadnt been to Kyoto in years. She thought for a moment and agreed. What harm could be done in it. She also tried almost futily to get Josun to not repay for the increased rent she had to pay for two people living in the apartment...

So what do you think folks? That should shed a little light on things. It also sets up Josuns abusive behavior towards himself when 'accidents' happen. Also, whenever you see a (AN: ) that means im inserting an authors note.




Chapter 3
Kitsune stood in the middle of the main room with Haruka and Motoko. They had been searching the Dorm for some time, but hadnt been able to find out where Keitaro and Naru were. Kitsune kept saying they had left to elope, but everyone else were against the ideal.

But it had been four days, and neither of them had called back. Elopementwas starting to seem plausibale, which was making Motoko blush to no end. She wasnt sure to thank the lord Keitaro was gone, though she wished Naru would come back. But the ideal of them eloping,...

Naru wouldnt do that, she isnt like that,... is she? Motoko started blushing even more. She was too distracted to notice Su and shinobu slowly sneaking towards the door. After a few minutes, they were clear and were running staright for the train station, or rather, Su was running, while Shinobu was being pulled and dragged.

I hope everything will end up alright, Shinobu thought as they sped onwards,...

( AN: Im going to leave Keitaro o to dry for a moment)

Josun looked around as he and Naru continued there sightseeing tour. They had passed a photo-booth along the way, and Naru had decided she wanted a picture of her trip, and didnt want too take a single picture, so Josun had willingly gone in, sorta.

I feel sorry for whoever this girl's boyfriend is. Im tired from simply walking along with her, Josun thought as he rubbed his strecthed arm. This girl was very exhuberant when it came to being on a trip of healing.

They soon came to the legendary Stage of Kiyomizu. Naru went up to the rail while Josun looked around. The last time he had been here was when he was 5, and his older brother had shown off his magic skills by jumping off and landing without a scracth. That had gotten him interested in magic, but the only place any Tomoro ever went was to the Osaka Druid Academy.o while he had learned some magic, it was mostly the healing magc they taught.

Josun smirkd at a memory that had floated up. He had also learned some minor things involing 'Ki magic', which involved the natural spirit energy within a person. But even there, he hadnt done well.

He was quickly brought ack to reality when he heard Naru saying "I doubt anyone could jump off here." Since he was in the real world again, he noticed the form of a young man hitting his head on the rail.

Keitaro could not believe how many times he was seeing Naru. Shes following me. Theres no other explanation. He thought as he quickly hid round the corner. He couldnt let Naru spot him no matter what reason she was here.

Josun wacthed in mild amusement and confusion. He qucikly regonized that guy as being Keitaro Urashima, the man that had also been punched while on the train. He seemed to also be taking a trip of healing, but was very keen on avoiding her. I would too, if i pissed her off in anyway.

After a while, Josun and Naru made it to a small treahouse. Josun made sure to remind himself to get the pill before Naru could. She had been helping him, and so he planned to take care of anything that involved money.

Suddenly, there was a noice near them, and Josun got the lcuky spot of witnessing one of the Naru Keitaro yelling matches.

Yepp. Never want to make her angry... Josun though as he wacthed the fight.
