To Love-Ru Darkness 28

Kyouko visits Rito's school to scout out Rito.

Rito likes to hog all the pretty girls to himself.

Summary:
Kyouko unexpected holds a lecture about the entertainment industry at Rito's high school, and it just so happens that Run has to record a single and isn't at school. After the lecture, Kyouko asks Rito to show her around the school, and all of the other male students are jealous of Rito. While walking around the school, Kyouko starts taking notes and teasing Rito in order to scout him out for Run (supposedly). The two run into the perverted principal but are saved by Yui and her disciplinary committee. However, Kyouko becomes surrounded by male students hounding her for autographs. This triggers Rito's hero instincts and Rito grabs Kyouko and runs off with her in his arms. The male students chase Rito and Kyouko outside, and Lala and Momo notice the commotion. Lala sets up a teleportation ring in front of Rito, but unfortunately the ring strips off most of Rito and Kyouko's clothes. Rito and Kyouko ends up inside a locker back in Rito's homeroom, and Haruna, Risa and the girls are in the room. Rito and Kyouko try to keep quiet but they grind into each other and Risa notices the noise. Risa goes to open the locker, but Momo sets off a smoke bomb which clears the room allowing Rito and Kyouko to escape and get dressed. Rito and Kyouko end up on the school roof with Momo, Nana and Mea, and Momo had used one of Nana's pets to track down Rito's location. Kyouko seems to be too embarrassed by the experience and leaves without saying much, and Momo is disappointed that she didn't get to talk to Kyouko.

The next day, Kyouko tells what happened to Run, and Run is not surprised since she had been the victim of Lala's inventions many times. Thanks to the experience, Kyouko can't get the image of Rito carrying her in his arms out of her head.

The spotlight continues to rotate among the girls, but this time it lands on Kyouko who is somewhat of a long shot when it comes for falling for Rito. We all know that any attractive female character in this series is a potential harem candidate for Rito, and Kyouko appears to be no exception even though she's not around most of the time. Thanks to overzealous fans and Lala's clothe stripping teleportation devices, Rito and Kyouko gets even more up close and personal during this encounter, and this seems to have shaken her up a little. Her abrupt departure at the end means that she realizes she might be attracted to Rito, and that's a first step. However, many of the girls don't really progress past that point (Yui, we are looking at you), so don't expect Kyouko to be overtaking any of the other girls any time soon.

It was amusing that while in the locker, Rito thought that Kyouko and Haruna looked alike when it came to their faces. Sometimes faces drawn by the same artist tend to look alike lol.
