Hatsuharu stretched his arms out wide as he yawned loudly in his bed. He sighed and got out, scratching his back primitively. He walked to his bedroom door and it burst open as Momiji shouted, "Guten Morgen!" at his tired face. "Urnhhh" was all Haru could muster as he dragged his feet along the hall into the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water and switched on the shower half-heartedly. He stripped off and got in, and was instantly woken up by a blast of steam.
After his shower he wrapped a towel round his middle and went back through to his room. He picked up a pair of khaki cargo pants and fumbled through his top drawer for a pair of boxer shorts. Then he picked a black t-shirt and beige shirt and slipped on all his clothes. Haru then positioned himself in front of the mirror and combed his hair. "It is so true. I am beautiful. I don't know why Yuki doesn't fall at my feet…"
Haru stumbled as he crossed the hall to the stairs and he slipped on the top step. As he crashed down to the ground he thought to himself, 'This is not a good day.' He picked himself up and continued through to the kitchen. "Morning Momiji-chan."
"Morning Haru-kun! What do you want for breakfast?" Said Momiji with a grin plastered across his noodle."Nothing. I'm going to Shigure-san's house." Was the reply.
"OOH! Can I come?"
"No…..Of course you can." Said Haru with a smile on his face.
Haru grabbed his dog tags and shouted to Hatori, "I'm going to Shigure's house! You want me to deliver anything?" No reply came so Hatsuharu decided that either meant Hatori was tending to Akito or he was still asleep. "Let's go Momiji."
Hatsuharu fixed his dog tags around his neck and walked through the Sohma village down to the gate. He let Momiji through first and then walked through himself, letting it slam shut behind him. He strolled along the streets and was aware of Momiji watching him closely. "What's with the staring?" He asked abruptly.
"Nothing. I was just wondering…why did you want to go to Shigure-san's house?" He replied.
"Do I have to have a reason to want to see my family? Except for Kyo. And Shigure. I wanted to see Yuki. And Tohru."
"I wanted to see Tohru-kun!" Said Momiji with a smile on his face.
Soon after, the pair arrived at Shigure's house. Haru heard the familiar sound of Kyo shouting at Yuki.
"And you! You idiotic, boring rat! Stop acting so perfect. You really piss me off!"
"If you think I'm idiotic, you should look in the mirror. These days I'm afraid your stupidity will rub off on me. Stupid cat."
"STOP CALLING ME STUPID!"
He kept walking until he got to the door and he knocked. When no one came to answer he just pushed it open and carried on through to the kitchen where Kyo and Yuki were fighting. He sauntered over to Kyo and pushed his head, causing him to fall over. "What was that for? And when did you even get here? You shouldn't just let yourself into people's houses!" Retorted Kyo angrily.
Hatsuharu waltzed over and hugged Yuki, "You were shouting at my precious Yun-Yun. And I let myself in because I could hear you shouting from down the street. No wonder no one could hear me knocking. Stupid cat." He stroked Yuki's cheek lovingly.
"I am NOT STUPID!" Shouted Kyo.
Yuki finally protested and shrugged Haru off. "My name is definitely not Yun-Yun." Replied Yuki with a face of ultimate seriousness and hatred.
"Aww, come now Yuki-chan, I was just playing. You of all people should know that." Haru reached back over and touched Yuki's chin. "Why must you be so uptight? Let loose." With that, Yuki turned and determinedly walked out to the back porch.
Tohru walked in and her face was a picture of confusion as Yuki strode past her without saying anything. "Is Sohma-kun alright?" She asked the group of people standing before her.
"Who cares?" Said Kyo.
"He's taken a huff. Don't worry about him, Tohru-kun." Said Haru with a smile.
"TOHRU!" Came the third answer from Momiji.
Kyo stepped forward and hit Momiji swiftly on the noggin. "Don't annoy Tohru! Little squirt."
"Oh! Kyo, don't worry, Momiji wasn't bothering me."
This prompted Momiji to stick his tongue out at Kyo. He just hit him again.
"WAAAAAA!"
Kyo then stomped off to his room in a huff.
Haru glided out to the porch to check on Yuki.
