If you have Haruka being in the abandoned annex to avoid people seeing her cry and Keitaro making his statment there, it would be interesting to have the inn itself making things happen to bring them together. As an aside if you wanted to include Kanako it wouldn't be that hard to have her following Keitaro and joining in trying to cheer up Haruka.
Akamatsuverse Idea Time!
- Thread starter Lord Raa
- Start date
Another idea came to me earlier today.
What if Keitaro was more focused.
Focused like Gendo Ikari
This Keitaro is smarter, more charming, at least superficially. However, he uses people for his own ends.
I'm a bit tired right now, so I'll leave this here.
I might be able to add more to this idea when the morning comes, but I promise nothing, as I might forget all about it

Sidney Reily (sorry for the previous misspelling) was the real-life inspiration for James Bond. Eventually a series was made about him called Riley: Ace of Spies.
Rather than being suave and debonair however, Riley was cold and calculating sadistic SOB. As a spy he operated much more like Gendo than, say Kaji.

What if when Tsuruko found out that when Motoko and Keitaro were lying to her about the engagement, she decided to make it true?
As in:
Motoko: A-aneue, I'm sorry, but Urashima and I aren't actually engaged.
Tsuruko: Don't worry, Motoko-han, you are now ^_^ Now, who do I talk to about the dowry?
Motoko: ....
Tsuruko: By the way, Motoko-han, Mother doesn't want to wait too long for grandchildren.
Any thoughts on the matter?

Hmmm... well, she could say that, but is not Keitaro old enough he himself could put a stop to it on his word alone? Or would final desision still have to wait until the parents are consulted?
I'm uncertain how old in Japan one must be to allow for independance from the clan. and after all, it is not like he is with his parents anymore.

He could probably decide that, but where would the fun in that be?
Besides, Tsuruko could add "if Motoko doesn't accept this engagement, then she'll have to return to Kyoto for a series of omiai."
But I've just had another idea.
What if the reason Tsuruko approved of Motoko's engagement because she was a swinger and wanted to try out a new partner?
I know that it's a ludicrous ideas, but hey, it would work for a lemon, would't it?

I'm not sure if they hid their relationship or they were just engaged from the beginning.

That story isn't quite what i had in mind. Arranged marriage fics are neat, but you see almost as many of them as you do "motoko loses the duel and marries keitaro" fics.
I mean more the idea that sometime between her first duel with him and Tsuruko's arrival they fall in love in secret and decide to get married.
Hence why when Tsrurko shows up, motoko still does the same thing she did in canon, except this time she isn't lying.
But Tsuruko, due to the outbirst and her not knowing about it, thinks she is.
Que alot of the same hyjinks happening except, much to tsuruko's shock, they actually get though it. Now they are still somewhat shy about doing it in front of others, but they do do them.

mh.... i like this idea more...
However, I will add another variation of the theme...
Motoko comes to terms with her feelings (or falls in love with) Keitaro much sooner. So when Tsuroko comes around looking for her, knowing about the escape (and how mad her sister would be if she lied), she makes the same excuse. Keitaro goes through with what Motoko does, because he knows that she needs the help, not really thinking about the fact that Tsuroko takes it seriously and the eventual marriage might be a real one.
Sadly this would work more for Kanako's personality than Motoko's. My idea is not to be taken seriously, it is just something that came out of my head and would be a way to paradoy (in a way) the Tsuroko forces wedding idea.

Just had an idea.
Now, stop me if you've heard this idea before, even better post a link if you seen it posted, but:
What if Tsuruko's husband was Tatewaki Kuno?
I would explain a few things, would it not?
And if Kuno arrived at the inn to "vanquish the foul lecher Urashima," then I think that we could have many laughs at his expense.
