A week has gone by and Haru's new girlfriend is quite the mystery to his family. Let's hope it stays that way.
"A girlfriend? He got a new girlfriend? Who is she? Does she live Inside or Outside? Is she pretty? Does she look like Rin? Oooh-what does she look like? What is she like?"
"I'm not sure, Tohru. Momiji said that Haru has been spending a lot of time out of the house for the past week." Yuki admitted as he looked out the window. "And that he hasn't been his usual self. He's been sort of daydreaming all day-every day since last Wednesday."
Kyo leaned back in his chair. "Yeah, well, whoever this chick is-he'll have to dump her if Akito doesn't approve of her." The Cat had a point. "It's all up to that bastard, no 'ifs', 'ands' or 'buts'."
"Well, would you look at that. Two-tone's on his cell phone again." Uotani pointed at the Ox on the ground floor, leaning up against a tree with a smile on his face. He looked like he was enjoying his conversation with whoever was on the other end. "Wonder who he's chattin' with."
"His waves…they radiate true happiness, like he has fulfilled a dream." Hanajima replied with a lighter tone than usual. "…and there are odd waves clinging to his aura, as if transferred from someone who has been in his presence almost constantly."
Tohru looked out the window at the Sohma boy who was laughing at something his caller had said. Haru did look like he was enjoying the conversation, like he was talking to his new girlfriend. For some reason, Kyo wasn't so sure isn't who Haru was seeing was actually a "who"-more like a "what" but he still wasn't sure it was a good idea for Haru to date…whatever he was dating.
"I'm going to tail Haru afterschool. I'm going to find out who-or what he's seeing." Kyo told the others, mainly Yuki and Tohru.
Uotani arched a blond eyebrow. "Did I just hear you say 'what he is seeing'?"
"Once the head of our family finds out-that 'who' could become a 'what'. There is no end to his cruelty and Haru's new fling's going to find that out the hard way."
Uh-oh...
