Love Hina -- Vol. 6 & 9 Questions

In Vol. 6, Naru takes Mutsumi onto the Hinate House roof to tell her that Keitaro is the one Mutsumi made the promise with. After hearing Naru's unclear explanation, Mutsumi tells Keitaro that she'll go and tell him. Then, later on in that chapter, it's revealed that Mutsumi actually told Keitaro that Naru loved him.

What confuses me about this is that Mutsumi doesn't regain her memories until towards the end of Vol. 7. How did she know to tell Keitaro that Naru loved him if she didn't remember what happened 15 years ago?

The other lesser plot problem is in Vol 9. In Vol. 9, Naru freaks when Keitaro reveals to her that he loves her, not speaking for him for weeks. This, after Keitaro had only recently risked his educational future to stay by her side when she was sick, struck me as a cold thing to do. It also struck me as an illogical thing for her to do when she had come close to confessing and kissing Keitaro in the past, and gone as far as to ask Keitaro to pick her or Mutsumi. When I read Vol. 9 this heartless, out of character action by Naru really bothered me... I'd loved her to bits up until that point.

For the most part I LOVE Love Hina; I can read it for hours. It's going to be ranked around 3rd in my top 5 whenever I finish. But the above plot hole and out of character actions by Naru do bother me a little...

By the way, I'm up to Vol. 9 at the minute. I'm currently re-reading Vol. 7.
