Chaos ruled the day at the Hinata apartments. That's because the calmer residents - Motoko, Keitaro's aunt, Naru and Keitaro Urishima were absent. Shinobu and Kaolla Su were playing and having fun. Mitsune was working the computer. "There, all done." She announced. Kaolla Su was within earshot, so she came up to Mitsune from behind. "Ooh! What did you finish? I really want to see it!" Kaolla Su said. "I can't let you see this." Mitsune said as she closed the window. "Oh really? Why not?" Su asked. "It's bad luck to have others read a story before the editor has a chance to look at it." Mitsune replied.

That evening at dinner, Kaolla mentioned Mitsune's story. "I really want to see it." Kaolla said. "Patience, sugah. You'll see it when the time is right." Mitsune responded. Kaolla Su couldn't wait, so she crept downstairs in the middle of the night and hacked into Mitsune's registry. She searched for the file, and found it. However, it was password protected, and then there was a problem. Mitsune specifically told the computer that if the password was not entered correctly the first time, it will play a file called shame.exe. This file was a video of Mitsune. "All right, Kaolla Su, Ah knew you'd try to hack into the computer. Well, you will have to wait like everyone else!" The speakers blared very loudly. The screen then went blank for a bit, and then Kaolla Su found it logged into her user name. "Gosh darn it, this is very frustrating." Kaolla Su said. Much of the place was woken up by this. Mitsune confronted Kaolla. "Sugah, Ah told you to stay out. This is personal stuff." Mitsune admonished Kaolla Su. "Come on, I am really curious." Kaolla Su said.

Well, two days later a young man in a suit and tie showed up. He was about 20, black hair, brown eyes, and sporting a briefcase. He met with Keitaro and Naru. "I'm looking for Mitsune-san." The man said. "She's probably in her room. I'll go get her." Naru said. Five minutes later, Naru returned with Mitsune in tow. "Now, why did you want to see lil' old me for?" Mitsune asked. "You submitted a script to us. We'd like to publish it, but we think it would be better illustrated." He said. "Illustrated? Ah don't know about that." Keitaro spoke up, not realizing he was putting his foot into a bear trap. "I'll illustrate it for you. I've been getting good marks in my art classes." The man smiled. "Great. Do you think you can get it done in a month?" He asked. "Hmm... That may be pushing it a bit... Could we make it two?" Keitaro asked. "I don't see why not. You've got a deal." The man said.

After the man left, Keitaro looked at Mitsune. "So let's see the story." Keitaro said. "Alrighty. Ah should warn you, it's fer adults." Keitaro smiles, clueless as to what was about to happen to him. "That's no problem." He said.

The next day Keitaro sat at the drawing board and readies his supplies to work. Keitaro received the story and looked it over. "Hmm... Magister Negi Magi... Asuna's fiery time?" Keitaro read the title. He then started reading the script, and then started blushing. About 3 pages into it, Keitaro dropped the script on the table as his nose gushed blood. He fell over, and the script only got a few drops of blood on it. Naru, naturally, was very concerned by this. "Keitaro? What's wrong?" She asked. Naru picked up the script that had a few bloodstains on it. She read it aloud. "Asuna-chan stood in front of Negi-kun and -" Naru stopped at this point and blushed. "Oh my..." She started. "This is a doujinshi!" Naru exclaimed. "Mitsune do you have no shame!?" Naru was shocked to say the least about what she was reading. She then looked at Keitaro. "You aren't actually going to draw this, are you?" Naru asked. "Draw it? I can barely read it." Keitaro responded, somewhat dazed from his experience. Naru merely stormed away from Keitaro.

"What the heck are you doing here!?" Naru said to Mitsune. "This is one of the filthiest pieces of literature I've ever read!" Mitsune tried to calm down Naru in vain. "Relax, sugah. It's just a story." Mitsune said. "Keitaro took one look at this and his nose exploded in blood!" Naru shouted. "Couldn't you have written something a little more tame?" Naru asked. "Oh my goodness gracious. I've never seen anything like this before." The voice was Kaolla Su's. She had snuck in and started to read the story, taking it from Naru surreptitiously. Mitsune quickly pulled the script away from Kaolla. "Sugah, you're a bit too young for this." Mitsune said. "So is that what you really wanted Keitaro for, Naru?" Kaolla Su asked. "No! Get out of here, Kaolla Su! This is a private conversation!" Naru snapped at Kaolla Su. "O.k. Fine." With that, Kaolla Su left.

If one were to follow her, she went straight to Shinobu. "I saw Mitsune's script." Kaolla Su declared. "Really? What did it say?" Shinobu asked. Kaolla Su then proceeded to tell Shinobu what she had read. Within 20 words Shinobu turned red as a beet and stopped Kaolla from saying any more. "I don't want to hear this." Shinobu said. Kaolla Su really was confused; she had no idea what she was talking about was bad. "I thought you wanted to hear about this." Kaolla Su said. "I had no idea it would be about that." Shinobu said.

Well, Keitaro agreed to draw it, and so he did. He bought a pair of nose plugs, and read the script again. He passed out about 4 times, but finished reading it. Drawing it was another matter. Keitaro had to go pretty slowly, and he was moving at a snail's pace. He was able to do only one page a week (most artists take between 2-3 days per page.) It's hard to concentrate on drawing when you're struggling to keep conscious.

Well, after two months, the man returned and asked if the doujinshi was finished. "Well... We've run into a bit of a snag here." Mitsune said. "Keitaro's a bit slow, but he's got the first 8 pages done." The man looked uneasy. "8 pages? It'll take him more than a year at that pace!" The man said. "He's not used to drawing nude figues." Mitsune said. "But he is getting better. He should have 2 pages done next week." They argued back and forth a bit, but then he gave in. "I will allow one more month." He said.

Well, to speed things up, the others bought a book and had a lityle contest to see who could ink the sketches in it the best. Shinobu and Kaolla Su were barred from this, and Motoko declined to participate. Naru won this and proceeded to ink the pages while Keitaro drew. Keitaro also was building up resistance to this, and they barely managed to squeak out the issue in time. "Don't ask me to do this again." Keitaro said.

Well, at a Tokyo convention, The man printed up about 2500 copies and sold them for about the equivalent of $3.95 each. The first 2500 copies sold out within the first 3 hours. It was a huge success. "This Keitaro Urishima makes the babes really hot." One of them commented. The man placed another order with the printer. This time, they could only crank out 500 copies for the next day. They sold out quickly too. In the end, more than 3000 copies were distributed. The man went back to Mitsune and praised her. "You and he did a great job. Can you make more?" He asked. "Why, sure, sugah. Ah'll get on it right away." Mitsune said. "Ah just hope Keitaro can take it...."
