Chapter 1: Hatsuharu Takes a Visit

Yuki and Tohru were working in Yuki's garden on a Saturday morning. It was springtime! Tohru looked up at the sky, and shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand. She sighed, "What a beautiful day."

Yuki looked at her and said, "Yes a perfect day. The strawberries are almost finished growing. We just need to wait for them to bloom."

Tohru's eyes lit up in happiness. "Yay! I love strawberries!" She smiled at Yuki.

He smiled back and planted the last leek seed in the patch of dirt, covered it, and watered it. "I think we are done here for the day."

"Let's go back, and I can make us some lunch,"Tohru said smiling sweety.

They headed back to the house when they caught a glimpse of white among the trees.

"What's that over there?"Tohru asked pointing in the direction.

Yuki looked at it and said, "Hatsuharu, is that you?"

The bushes stirred and sure enough Haru stood up and looked at Tohru and Yuki. "Hey guys, are you lost too?"

Yuki sighed and said, "No Haru, come this way." Tohru chuckled to herself and smiled. Will Hatsuharu ever learn?

"Shigure!"Yuki called out, but no one was there. "Where could he be?"

"I'll go look out back and see if Kyo is there,"Tohru said walking around the house. "Kyo are you here?" She heard a "Yes I am," coming from above her. She looked up and saw Kyo sitting on the roof.

"There you are. Hatsuharu is here if you would like to come down."

"I don't want to see that damn cow,"Kyo said turning his head.

"Well, all right. I will leave you alone."She walked off.

Tohru went inside and sat down with Yuki and Haru. "So Haru, what brings you here?"Tohru asked curiously.

"I just wanted to come and visit,"Haru replied.

Yuki looked at him with a "sure" look on his face. "What is the real reason you came?"

"What do you mean by that?"Haru asked becoming slightly agitated.

"I mean, I think you are lying!"

Haru seemed to have changed, and not in a good way either. "Don't you yell at me!" Haru jumed up and looked at Yuki.

"You think you can beat me when you can't even beat Kyo? You are pathetic,"Yuki did not seem to be in the mood to deal with Hatsuharu at the moment.

Tohru tried to assuage them as best as she could, "Please both of you, fighting is not the answer. Just calm down and we can talk this over."

Haru looked at Tohru for one second, and Yuki hit him over the head reverting him back.

"Ouch..."Haru was rubbing his head and looking at the floor.

"So now are you going to tell us the real reason you are here?"Yuki asked trying not to get him mad again.

"All right. I came here to talk about this crazy farmer who wants to kill all the cows in this nation."
