Chapter 3
"Well, I think it's wonderful that there haven't been any Hollows." Ichigo said putting his hands behind his head. "Don't you think it's a little weird. It's been like four days and today will be day five since we last killed one." Rukia said. "I guess it's a little weird, but why complain." Ichigo said.
"Well, I'm going to reports this after Haru's date tonight with Tanaka." Rukia said.
"I can believe Tanaka sensei and her are going on a date. Now that's weird." Ichigo said yearning him a punch in the stomach by Rukia. "Don't make fun of Haru." She said. "I wasn't." Ichigo said holding himself. "I think it's cute." Orihime gleamed. "I have to agree with Ichigo on this one." Uryu said. Chad just nodded his head in agreement with Uryu. "Okay, everyone knows the plan right? We must find out where and what time the date going to be." Rukia said. "Look here she comes." Orihime said.
"Hey, Haru." Orihime greeted. "Hey, what's up? You guys said you wanted to talk after school." She said. "Yeah, we wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with us." Uryu said. "I can't, sorry. I already have plans." Haru said. "Oh, what are you doing?" Rukia asked eagerly. Okay, why is everyone acting really weird. Haru thought.
"I'm just going to Cherry & Blossom." Haru answered. "What time?" Ichigo asked this time. "Six. Why?" She asked. "Just wanted to see if we could hang out before then." Ichigo lied. "Well, sorry but I need to get home to get ready. So, I'll see you guys later" Haru said walking away.
"Wow, Tanaka sensei must really like Haru. Isn't Cherry & Blossom a very expensive restaurant? " Orihime asked.
Haru walked through her front door when her aunt called for her to come into the kitchen. "What's up?" Haru asked. "These flowers were outside the front door when I returned home. They address to you."
Haru picked up the flowers. They were about ten red carnations tied together by a white ribbon. She looked at the card for a name, but only found hers. I wonder who these could be from. Ryuuken?...I doubt it. He's more direct and not so around about. She thought making her way to her bedroom. Haru put the flowers in the same vase as the flowers that Ryuuken gave her before she got ready.
"I'm with you on this."
Ryuuken heard as he entered his house. He could hear Uryu who was in the living room on the phone as he made his way into the kitchen.
"Of course."..............."I still can't believe Haru and Tanaka sensei are dating."...........
"However we could be wrong about this." Uryu said to Ichigo who was on the other line. Ryuuken froze instantly. What?! That can't be. There must be a misunderstanding. She told me she didn't have a boyfriend. Of course she wouldn't tell me that she has a boyfriend if she's dating her teacher. Tanaka sensei, huh? I should have him reported. Ryuuken thought frowning as he clenched his fist.
"Stop yelling you Idiot! I know what we heard."............."Yes, I caught the part about Friday."
Friday? Does she have a date with this teacher, tonight? Ryuuken thought as he listened to Uryu's conversation. Of course Ryuuken made sure it didn't look like he was ease dropping as he opened different cupboards pretending to be looking for something.
"Okay, we'll meet up at five thirty until then." Uryu said as he ended his cell.
Ryuuken left the kitchen and made his way up to his home office while furiously thinking. She lied to me! That girl had the nerve to lie to me! I can't believe it! And here I have been nothing, but nice to her! Ryuuken couldn't help, but to feel betrayed and jealous. He knew Haru and him didn't have a relationship to make him feel betrayed, but Haru was the first women he cared about since his wife passed away all those years go. This is also why he hated emotions, they clouded your mind and judgment to easily. He should have known better not to open his heart again after his wife died.
Haru made her way to the restaurant. She decided to wear a simple black dress with matching closed toed flats. Haru had her hair in curls and a little make up on. Just some eyeliner, mascara and pink lip gloss.
"Can you see?" Rukia asked Ichigo. "Yeah, she just entered the restaurant." He replied. "Okay, for now we wait and when they leave, we will follow them." Rukia said.
One hour later. "Look there she is." Orihime shouted. "Not so loud." Rukia said. "Sorry." Orihime whispered. Everyone scooted closer. "Where's Tanaka sensei?" Ichigo asked as he saw Haru start to walk off. About a minute later. "Oh my God, that cheating bastard!" Rukia almost yelled. Everyone couldn't believe it. There was Tanaka leaving the restaurant with another women around his arm. "Haru must be heartbroken." Orihime said. "Let's go find her and cheer her up." Ichigo said walking off. "Wait a minute. We can't let her know that we know." Rukia said. "So, for now we just hang out with her, but don't say thing." She continued.
They all caught up with Haru.
"Hey look, it's Haru. What a coincidence?" Ichigo said loud enough for Haru to hear.
Haru stopped and turned around to face everyone. "Wow, you look beautiful." Orihime complimented. "We were just on our way to watch a movie at Ichigo's house." Rukia said. "We were?" Ichigo stated raising an eyebrow. "Yup. It was your idea." Rukia said elbowing Ichigo in his side. "Thanks guys, but I'm tired. I just wanted to go home." Haru said with a smile.
They watched her walk off. "Look at her. She must be really hurt." Orihime said.
"Yeah, I think we should give Haru, her space." Uryu added. Everyone else nodded their head in agreement.
As Haru made her way home, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.
She got home to find a note left by aunt saying she would be back until ten since she was at a friend's house having a Tupperware party. She flipped on her light as entered her bedroom. Holy shit! What happened? Haru saw the flowers that Ryuuken had given to her on the floor, shredded. I can't believe this. She thought bending over picking up pieces of the flowers. What I don't understand why the other flowers are still in the vase, untouched? Haru frowned as she cleaned up the flowers up to throw away. It wasn't long until Haru made it into bed and fell asleep.
Rukia was back in the Soul Society talking with her captain. "Captain Ukitake, May I ask a question?" "Of course." He said with a smile.
"Has there been anything weird activities in Karakura town?"She asked. "No why?" "Because there haven't being any Hollows the region recently."
"Not an one?" He asked a little shocked by the information. Rukia just nodded her head. "Well, I'll bring it during my next captain's meeting. Thank you for telling me.""Not at all. It's my job." Rukia replied.
The weekend went by quite fast and Monday came once again. Haru was really excited to see Ryuuken as she made it to the Hospital. However Haru was disappointed when she found out that Ryuuken didn't request her help today. She figured he might be at a meeting or something, besides there was always Wednesday and Thursday.
Sadly, Wednesday and Thursday rolled on right by along with the weekend and it was already Monday. Haru couldn't believe this, she never gone a week without seeing Ryuuken at least once. She thought about stopping by Uryu's house to hang out with him, but figured it wouldn't be right to use Uryu like that. Well, that was the greatest week of my life. Ichigo and everyone else were acting strange around me and Ryuuken could possibly be avoiding me. Oh, let's not forget about all the weird crap that's been happening. The random bouquet of flowers again, I'll came home almost every day after school to find things moved from where I had original left them. I think the weirdest thing I found was a pair of underwear that wore the day before. I know I put them in the dirty laundry basket, so how do they end up on my bed. And I still have that creepy feeling of being watched. What's next? I'm going to hear voices. I think I'm officially going crazy. She thought as she approached Nurse Suzuki.
"Good evening, Haru." "Good evening." Haru greeted. "I need you to give this report to the director." Haru hesitated for a second before reaching the report.
"Did something happen between the Director and you?"Suzuki questioned. "What? No! Why do you ask?" Haru said shaking her head no. "Because he didn't ask for your assistance once last week." "Oh, I didn't even noticed."Haru said sheepishly. It seems that other people noticed it too. Great.... Haru thought as the nurse frowned before she dismissed Haru to get going.
Haru stood outside his office door. Just breathe. Just Walk in there and hand him the report. Then ask him if you did something wrong. Okay, let's Go! She thought as she knocked on the door. Haru walk into the office when she heard "Come in"
Ryuuken knew who it was and didn't bother looking up from his paperwork.
"Good evening, Director Ishida." Haru beamed. She stood there waiting for a response only to receive none. Haru quickly recovered. "Nurse Suzuki wants you to look at this report."
"Put it in the tray on my desk." He said coldly. Haru moved forward and realized that she was getting a weird vibe from Ryuuken. She placed the report in the tray.
"Did I do something wrong? Is that the reason you have been avoiding me?" Haru asked nervously. Ryuuken looked up at her and narrowed his eyes. He replied harshly "I do not avoid people. You are a volunteer at this hospital. You do not need to see me unless it's part of a job you were given or is that too complicated for you to understand." Haru could feel heart tighten. "Of course not. I'm sorry. Excuse me." She said before leaving. Maybe I was a little too mean. No! I treated her like I would anyone else. He thought as he heard the door shut. The minute she closed his door, she did her best to fight her tears. What was that? He has never spoken to me like that before. I don't understand.
"Haru, are you okay?" Suzuki asked in concern. "Yeah, I'm just not feeling well. I'm sorry to ask this, but may I be dismissed for the day." Haru asked knowing she was going to start crying any minute. "Of course. Please, be careful on your way." Suzuki said. Haru nodded her once before she headed for the exit. Suzuki just shook head in disappoint. Dr. Ishida, you really are a idiot, aren't you?
Haru walked home feeling her tears escaping her eyes as they cascade down cheeks. Lucky for her no one was around to stare at her. She knew she couldn't go home crying because her aunt would ask her a million questions. She could see a small deserted park a few feet in front of her and figured that would the best to cry. She could tell the park was old judging by the wore down swings and slide. She sat down on a swing and put face in her hands and began to cry. I don't understand why I'm crying?
In the darkness created by the trees a pair of eyes watched her. Oh, she even looks more beautiful crying. I hope she cries for me. I love how I came here to fight him and I ended up finding her. It won't be too much longer until I put my plan into action. Who's that? The pair of eyes narrowed. It's doesn't matter, he can't see me either.
"Excuse me, miss, but are you alright?" Haru removed her hands from her face and was shocked to see the person in front of her. "Haru?!"
"Dr. Kurosaki, What are you doing here?" Haru asked wiping her tears away. She thought Ichigo's dad was kind and funny. She always seemed to bump into him at random places.
"I was on my home from the store and I saw a poor young lady crying on a swing and figure I could comfort her with my good looks." He said with a big cheesy smile. Haru couldn't help, but to giggle. "Wanna tell me, why you're crying?" He asked sitting in swing left of Haru. "It's nothing, but thanks for your concern." She said as she wiped her lingering tears away. "That son of mine wasn't a jerk to you, was he?"
Haru shook head and said "No, it was another boy."
"Ah, boy trouble. Tell me all about." He said seriously. Haru didn't want to burden him with her drama. "It's okay. I don't want to trouble you."
"Haru, I cannot turn my head the other way when a beautiful maiden is crying." He said raising his fist in the air. "Besides this could be good practice for me, so when idiotic boys make my girls cry, I know what to say." Haru could tell he wasn't going to give up besides what were the chances he knew who she was talking about. "Okay, let's say I'm working with this guy and he use to call me into his office all the time. He even bought me a late birthday gift. He didn't talk to me like the other employees. Then all of sudden he avoids me and talks to me like everyone else. What's his problem?" She asked.
Isshin thought about it for a minute stroking his chin. "I have no clue." Haru let a small laugh "Thanks anyway." "Can you tell me about this boy?"
"Well, I know he has a nice side. However he's cold, kind of rude and stoic. And he doesn't have a very good relationship with his son." She said accidently blurting out the last part. This guy sounds like someone I know. "Did you say son?!" Isshin yelled. "Shh!" Haru hushed polity. "This changes everything. He not married is he?" "No!"
"Okay, just making sure. How much older is he?" He asked. "I'm not sure, but he looks really good for his age. Maybe eighteen years older." She kind of mumble the last part. "My advice stay away from him. This guy sounds like moron. " Eighteens years? Dang that's an age gap. So, the guys works with her. I know she volunteers at the hospital if I remember correctly. This guy has to be in charge in order to act like an ass. He also has a bad relationship with his son...OH MY GOD!!! "RYUUKEN ISHIDA!!!" Isshin screamed. Haru sat there mortified at what just left his mouth. "Haru, do not tell me that you fell for that monster." He said grabbing her by her shoulders shaking her rapidly. "Of course not. Why would you say that?" She said lying straight through her teeth. "God, it is true." He said sitting back on the swing.
"Please, don't tell him or anyone. I begging you." Haru pleaded. "It will be our secret. If you want I can lend you my help." He said with a smirk since an evil idea came to his head. "Really?"
"Yes. When do you volunteer?"He asked. "Monday, Wednesday and Thursday."
"Okay, Wednesday I'll help you. You should get home. It's getting pretty late." Isshin said standing up. Haru stood up and said "Thank you so much. Bye Dr. Kurosaki." Haru waved as before she headed home. Isshin stood there watching her leave. He knew Wednesday was going to be so much fun and all at the cost of Ryuuken.
Wednesday rolled around. Ryuuken was leaning back with his eyes closed at his desk. Haru should be at the hospital by now. I can't believe I'm still thinking about her and dreaming about her. It's like I can't escape no matter what. I can't believe I dreamt about her dying last night.
His thoughts were rudely interrupted by a bunch of yelling. Ryuuken's eyes shot open when he realized who the voices belong too.
"This it?" "Yes! Now put me down!" Ryuuken heard through the door before it opened and walked in Isshin carrying Haru in his arms. Isshin shut the door behind them. Ryuuken felt his jealously raise seeing Isshin so close to Haru. "Can you put me down now?" She asked. I thought he said he was going to help. Not make things worse. Ryuuken is like giving me or Dr. Kurosaki the death glare.
"Sorry, but you're my insurance." He said looking at Ryuuken with a huge grin. That basically said 'Ha! Can't shoot at me now!'
"What are you doing here besides harassing my volunteers'?" Ryuuken sneered. "I just thought I could stop by and say hello to an old friend." Isshin replied. "Are you that bad of a doctor that you don't have any work to do?" Ryuuken jeered.
"And to see Haru in her cute uniform." Isshin said rubbing his face on top of her head. Isshin was really testing Ryuuken's patience right now as he pulled out a cigarette to smoke. "I would put her down before her boyfriend kicks your ass." Ryuuken said putting the cigarette in his mouth. He lit the cigarette only to hear Haru yelled "What?" "You have a boyfriend?" Isshin said raising an eye brow at Haru. "No." She said. "
So, she still denying it. "Tanaka sensei ring a bell." Ryuuken said flatly blowing smoke out of his mouth. As much it upset him, he was not going to let her lie to him again.
"Tanaka sensei, what does he have to do with anything?" She asked. "He's your boyfriend or are you going to continue to lie about it?" Ryuuken asked bringing the cigarette back to his mouth.
Haru couldn't help, but to laugh hysterically at what Ryuuken just implied. This caused both men to raise an eyebrow at her.
"What is so funny?" Ryuuken asked, well more demanded. "I'm sorry, but that was to funny. Where did you hear such a thing?" She asked trying to control her laughter. "That's not important. So, you're saying it's not true." Ryuuken questioned. "Of course." "What about date that happened two Friday ago?"
"Date? Tanaka sensei is my mother's brother in law. I was having dinner with my mother's sister, my aunt and her husband, Tanaka sensei."
Hearing this made Ryuuken happy and pissed off at himself for doubting Haru. She could be his yet if she ever forgave him for being mean to her. Isshin put Haru back on her feet "Thanks for your help, Haru. But I would like to talk with Ryuuken alone."
"No problem. See you later Dr. Kurosaki." She said before leaving the room.
"I have nothing to say to you." Ryuuken said putting out his cigarette. "Haru is being watched." Isshin said seriously causing Ryuuken to frown. "Why should I care?" Ryuuken replied callously even though he did. "Oh, please! I just witness your twos little loves spat." Ryuuken shot off an arrow at Isshin who easily dodge it.
"Hey! What the hell was that?" Isshin whined. "You will watch what you say." Ryuuken coldly stated. "Yeah-Yeah. Luckily, I came by when I did Monday when she was in the park crying. I noticed it standing there behind the edge of the trees line."
"It? A Hollow?" Why was she crying? Was it because of me? Fuck!
"Kind of. I think it could have been an Arrancar, but it was hard to tell since it was in the shadows. What was really weird I didn't sense it's reiryoku."
What would an Arrancar want with Haru? Shit! She isn't safe....What am I going to do? Ryuuken thought.
"I'm going to talk with Urahara about this." Isshin stated. Ryuuken frowned. He met Urahara and found that man annoying . "Do as you please. Now leave. I actually have work that needs to be done." Ryuuken said.
"Ok-ok. I'm going. Oh, before I forget. You better not make Haru cry again. She a nice girl and if you hurt her any way. You'll be dealing with me." Isshin said serious before leaving. Ryuuken frowned again. Cry again? So, she was crying because of me. Who does he think he is threatening me like that?
Ryuuken reached for the phone and called the Nurse's station telling them to send Haru to his office. Haru arrived a few minutes later nervous as hell.
Haru had been thinking about long and hard. She came to the conclusion that Ryuuken might have been mad at her over the Tanaka thing which would be pretty funny since that could mean he liked her.
"Haru, please sit down." Ryuuken pointed to the chair in front him. He watched her sit down before he continued. "It seems that I have been informed that it's no longer safe for you to be alone." Ryuuken said. "How do you know this?" She asked since she was a little confused.
"The police just called. They said that you have a stalker." Ryuuken lied hoping she would by it. He couldn't tell her about the Arrancar and figured using a stalker would be best. "A stalker. That explains so much!" She said happily. Ryuuken was surprised that she was taking it well and actually buying it. "Care to share." He said. "I thought I was going crazy because things in my room would be out of place and I whenever I alone I feel like I'm being watched. This also explains the random flowers I been getting." Haru said. It's been in her room! So, it is actually stalking her. He thought getting a little pissed off.
"Do the police know who it is and how did they found." She asked. "Well, it's seem that they had a warrant out for his arrest and broke into his apartment to arrest him, but he wasn't there and then they found a little shrine with your pictures." He answered. Not too bad of a lie if I say so myself.
"Wow, why would anyone want to stalk me?"Haru asked more to herself. "Because of this I'll be giving you a ride home for now on. I suggest that you don't walk anywhere by yourself." Ryuuken said. "You don't have to. I don't want to cause any trouble."
"Don't be stupid. How can you think about others when you're in danger?" He said with a serious face. "I guess our right. I just don't like bothering people that's all."
"Haru, if you ever need anything or have a problem. You can talk to me about it." He said. "Kind of like earlier." She replied softly. She had to throw that in my face. Didn't she?
"That was quite rude of me and for that I was in the wrong." He said. A simple sorry would have been nice besides I doubt Ryuuken knows the word sorry. Haru thought. "Well, it already eight. We can leave now." Ryuuken said looking at the clock on the wall behind Haru.
Haru wasn't sure if she should accept his ride. "It's not going to cause you problems by giving me ride, is it?"She asked. "No. Why would it?"
"I mean won't other people find it a little weird." She said. "Let people think want they want to besides I don't pay you there for you aren't an employee. Now let's go." Ryuuken said standing up as he put his jacket on.
As they walked to the car no one said anthing. However the silence was broken when they both heard someone call Haru's name.
"So, I was right. It was cute little Haru." A man said walking up to Ryuuken and Haru. "Hi, Dr. Saitou. How are you?" Haru asked with a big smile. Dr. Saitou was a thirty year old man who was a bit bizarre and dramatic. He had medium length blonde hair and Haru had to admit he was pretty cute.
"You are just so adorable." He said giving her a big hug. Ryuuken was once again getting irritated at the fact that every other man, but him was touching Haru.
"I can't breathe." Haru gasped.
"Oh, sorry." He said letting go and taking a step back. "So, where are you and Ryuuken going?" He asked with a sly grin. Ryuuken glared at the man. He knew Saitou for a few years and knew he was a great doctor.
"Home." Haru replied without thinking. It was funny the first week she started volunteering, Saitou instantly clang to her. "Stay away from my poor innocent Haru." Saitou said pulling Haru away from Ryuuken. Ryuuken grabbed on to Haru's other arm and pulled her back to him with a little too much force because Haru trip and fell down. Ryuuken could have caught her, but it would have caused to many question at how fast he was able to move. Haru was able to stop her face from hitting the ground with her hands. However the rest of her body hit the ground. She knew her knees were scrapped. She was on her knees getting up and didn't know that her dress had ridden up and she was now flashing both men.
"Haru, your panties are just as cute as you." Saitou said squatting down to get a better look. This earned him a punch in the face by Ryuuken. Saitou was on the floor holding his face in pain. "Next time don't be such a pervert, Kai." Ryuuken said flatly. Even though Ryuuken did enjoy the view too. Haru was finally off the ground and completely humiliated. "We leaving, Haru" Ryuuken said grabbing her hand causing her to blush. "Bye, Dr. Saitou." Haru called out. "Bye my love." He replied as he stood back up. "Ryuuken, you dirty old man." Saitou laughed as he made his way to his car.
Haru and Ryuuken finally made it into the car. Ryuuken reached across the seat and buckled in Haru. "I could have done it myself. I not a child." She stated. Ryuuken didn't say anything as he started the car. "You have a really a nice car." Haru said trying to start small talk. "Huh." was the only respond she got. Haru looked at her knees and saw they were bleeding. "You said that things in your room were moved. Like what?" Ryuuken spoke. "My hair brush, my perfume, lotion." She said not wanting to say anything else. "That's it?" He questioned. "For the most part."
"What else?"
Haru was debating if she should tell him. "My underwear." Ryuuken didn't say anything and thought about how much he was going to enjoy killing this Hollow when he found it.
As they approach Haru's house Ryuuken noticed there were no lights on.
"Is anyone home?" He asked. "Not right now. My aunt is out bowling tonight and won't be back for a few hours. Well, Thank you for the ride." Haru said unbuckling her seatbelt. "What are you doing?" She asked seeing Ryuuken unbuckle his seatbelt.
"I'm not leaving home by yourself. I'll wait with you until your aunt comes home and that's final." He said as he opened his door.
Both Ryuuken and Haru knew it was a little inappropriate for them to be alone together. She knew he didn't care and she really want to avoid an argument. Ryuuken loved the idea of being alone with Haru. He would have taken this opportunity to make a move on her if he was some hormonal teenage boy, but he was older and had more control over himself.
Haru flipped on a light as they both entered the house. "Make yourself at home. Would you like anything to drink?" Haru asked heading towards the kitchen. "No." He said following her.
Once she got into the kitchen she opened a cupboard and pulled out a first aid kit.
Must be for her knees. I should help since it was my fault. He thought. "Here let me do it." He said to Haru reaching for the first aid kit. "It's fine." She protested. "I'm a doctor, so let me do it." He said taking the kit from her. "Sit on the counter, so I can get a better look at your knees." He command. Haru hopped on the closer counter and sat there as he knee down looking at her knees. Haru blushed as he looked up at her. "Where's a rag?" He asked. "Over in that drawer."Haru answered pointing to which drawer. He grab the rag and got it wet to wipe away the dried blood off her knees. Ryuuken made sure not to touch her more then necessary despite the fact that he wanted push her legs apart and seize the moment.
After the blood was gone he observed her knees weren't that bad just a few scarps.
"This is going to sting." He said as he sprayed one of her knees with disinfectant. Haru winced from the pain causing her legs to open a little, flashing Ryuuken. Why is she tempting me? He thought feeling himself harden a little. "I'm going to spray the next one. Ready?"
Haru nodded her head. Haru flinched a little again, but this time he made sure to keep her legs closed for her. Haru looked at his hands on the side of her thighs. "You flashed me last time." He stated. How many times am I going to show him my underwear. She thought wanting to smack herself in the face. He finished putting bandages on her knees "Okay, all done."
"Thank you." She said jumping off the counter. "Well, I not sure what we can do for a few hours." She stated. Each other The thought flashed in Ryuuken's head.
"I guess we can watch TV , is that okay?" She added. "Whatever."
"The remote on the coffee table. I'll be back I'm going to change." She said walking to her bedroom. Ryuuken sat on the couch, but didn't turn on the TV.
The light was flipped on as Haru made her way into her room shutting the door behind her. She took off her uniform and opened her closet only to let out a scream. In less than a second Ryuuken was in her room. "What happened?" He ask standing next to her. He saw the horrified look on Haru as she stared at her closet. He looked at the closet to see what she was staring at. There hanging on a hanger was a freshly cut dog pelt. There was still blood dripping from it on to the floor.
Haru felt bad for the animal. She only imagine what it had gone through before it died. She felt her eye start to get watery. Haru' body naturally clung to the closest person for comfort which happen to be Ryuuken. Ryuuken's body stiffen for a second before he wrapped his arms around her. Of course Haru was so upset that she forgot that she was half naked. However Ryuuken noticed her lack of clothing and was pretty happy to say the lease, but he knew this wasn't the time. That fifthly Hollow can into her house again and judging by the blood of the dog it was recent. As Haru calmed down she blushed at the fact that she was press against Ryuuken chest with his arms around her. "Are you feeling better?" He asked her. Haru looked up at him and nodded her head. They stood there for a minute together. Haru could smell his cigarette smoke and cologne. For some reason the smell was pleasant and seem to fit him perfectly.
Haru pulled away, much to Ryuuken disappointed "I need to clean that before my aunt comes home." She said leaving the room. She returned about two minutes later with cleaning products. "Are you not going to put clothes on?" Ryuuken asked trying not to gawk at her. "Why? I am making you uncomfortable?" She asked. Her bras and panties were the same coverage as a bathing suit she figured. Besides it not like he hasn't seen her underwear, she flashed him enough and she was to upset care. Ryuuken couldn't resists studying her body. She had nice curves and her breast were a decent size. "Not all. Here I'll clean up, so you don't have to look at." Ryuuken said taking the cleaning products from her. Haru wanted to protest, but she didn't to look at the poor animal again. "Thank you." She said. Ryuuken took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves and began cleaning. He put the pelt in a trash bag and cleaned up all the blood.
Ryuuken washed his hands in the kitchen before he returned to Haru's room.
He watched her as she put on a shirt. "Finally putting on clothes." Ryuuken commented. "I can take them off." She said. Ryuuken's eyes went wide at what she was offering and knew she maybe was interested in him. Haru couldn't believe that she let that slip out of mouth.
"I didn't mean to say that. I was kidding." She said laughing nervously. "What a shame?" He said walking towards her. Haru couldn't be he was flirting back. Ryuuken pulled Haru into his body. "Haru, how do you feel about me?"
Haru opened her to answer, but stopped when there was a very loud knocking on the door.
She pulled away Ryuuken and left the room to answer the door. Ryuuken left her room too and sat on the couch knowing who was at the door. He was pissed off. She was about to tell me her feelings and my idiot son and his friends ruin it for me. Ryuuken thought pushing his glass up.
Haru opened the door and saw Ichigo, Uryu, Rukia, Chad and Orihime.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" Haru asked feeling a little nervous knowing Ryuken was in the living and didn't want them to get the wrong idea especially Uryu. She also noticed that Uryu looked a little pissed off.
"We need to talk." Ichigo said seriously. "Well, come in." Haru said opening the door to let them in.
"Why are you here?" Uryu hissed at his father. "Like it's any of your business." Ryuuken shot back. "Haru, why is this man here?" Uryu asked.
