AN: I AM SO SORRY! I UPDATED THIS BABY SO LATE! THANKS FOR THE FOLLOWS AND REVIEWS ANYWAY :)

DISCLAIMER: KISS MY ASS. (Shinrei Tantei Yakumo isn't mine)

HARUKA'S POV

"Haru-chan...?"

NO WAY...

I practically jumped and my eyes opened quickly as I recognized the voice's owner, I whipped my head around, not caring that Yakumo's face got hit by my hair, and searched for her...

And must I tell you, there she was.

"O-okaa-san?"

YAKUMO'S POV

"Haru-chan...?"

I gasped and opened my eyes just in time for me to collide with Haruka's hair.

'Tsk!' I whispered and covered my stinging face, it actully hurt.

I peeked out from the corner of my fingers and saw a woman in, I don't know, maybe in her mid-thirties or such, who looked a lot like Haruka. She had a really striking resemblance, the same hair, same nose, yet very different eyes. Haruka's are lavenderish pink or something, and this woman had electric blue. Her shopping bags were dropped on the floor. Her eyes were wide with shock and amusement, moving its view between me and Haruka, then I realized that we were really still close to each other, I haven't even notice that my hands unconsciously travelled to her waist. I quickly took them off and planted them in my pants' pocket.

The woman kept staring at us, and then, I realized, that maybe she was Haruka's-

"O-okaa-san?"

Haruka's 'mother' -I don't really know if this woman is actually her mother, I mean really, she looks like her older sister- suddenly beamed up. Squealing and jumping up and down with glee, oh wait, forget what I said earlier, this woman really is her mother.

Then she charged towards us, tackling Haruka down on the ground.

"HARU-CHAN!" she screamed from the top of her lungs

"Haruka-chan! Oh my precious baby girl!"

"Okaa-san! Yamete! You're embarrassing me!" Haruka stated sternly, although her eyes were shouting pure happiness, but it was true though. She was embarrassing her. Almost all the people passing by would stare at them weirdly.

"Demoo~! Haru-chan! I just missed you so much!" she began to whine as she stood up and dusted herself.

And me, being the gentleman(?) I am, helped Haruka stand up. Grabbing her hand, I could still feel the sparks pass through my fingers. I stared in her eyes waiting for an explanation about what is happening.

"Wait a second Haru-chan," she whispered as she started to eye me suspiciously.

Then, she clapped her hands and grab hold of my face.

"IS THIS HIM?!" I am what now?

I looked at Haruka confusedly and waited for her answer,

Haruka smiled nervously and nodded very lightly,

"H-hai.."

Millions of eons passed before she finally reacted. Well, overreacted.

"KYAAAAA!" she squealed and hugged me so tight it felt like I was suffocating.

I glared at Haruka an she mouthed 'Please bear with it' with her eyes begging for me to.

I sighed and hugged her back a bit.

Suddenly I felt her step back and she slapped me across the face. HARD.

"YOU IDIOT!"

Eh?

She screamed and if looks could kill. I'd be long gone.

I stood there, not knowing what to do, for some reason, something inside me is telling me not to mess with her, so I settled with touching my stinging face, rubbing it softly.

"So you were the one who stole my little daughter away from me!"

'Okay, now I'm really confused, no, I'm always confused but this just makes me more confused!.'

"Eh? What are you talking abo-"

"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOUNG MAN!" she growled, her tears threatening to pour down,

Suddenly she laughed while crying, tears of...joy?

But there was one thing I was sure of, she is one weird mother.

She kept on laughing while crying until Haruka held her hands,

"Okaa-san."

She stopped and looked at Haruka with puffy, red eyes.

"Eh? Oh, gomenn~!" she apologized to Haruka with pouty lips and all. And finally, she looked at me genuinely happy.

"Congratulations you two!"

Congratulations on what? She just keeps surprising me and surprising me in a really weird way.

"Congrats on what?" I asked, she looked at me as if I was crazy. Oh such irony.

"On your engagement!"

'On your engagement!'

'On your engagement!'

'On your engagement!'

ON. YOUR. ENGAGEMENT.

I knew that Haruka's mother was starting to rant about stuffs like 'wedding cake', 'gowns' and other things. But I didn't care, all I cared about now is an explanation.I wanted an explanation! I could feel my face paling, my eyes widening and I looked at Haruka.

She stood there. Giving me one of her most apologizing smile. Waving her pinky finger.

Then it clicked me.

HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID!

This was her 'case'!

And I fell for it.

And I promised her I won't back down.

And now I'm engaged.

And my fiancée is Ozawa Haruka.
