Thank you for reading my story thus far. Addressing the feed back that I received so far I would have to say I am a little hurt but I know those who have critiqued my story are only doing it simply to help me make a better story. I'm not sure if I stated before but my writing and grammar is horrific and I know it. Sorry but its been difficult for me since middle school. Aside from that I would have to also apologize for leaving the story so vague. I try to make the best story I can with the time I have on hand. Not to worry because everything will be explained in later chapters. I will make some revisions to the earlier chapters as well. Thank you for reading. Please read, comment, and review. (sorry I wrote Haruko, working on a flcl story too. lol)

-Chapter three- everything revealed

Haruka stomped her feet up the stairs enraged after the story keitaro had told her. Motoko tried to quickly follow her fearful of what was going to happen to Naru. Haruka froze as she reached the top of the endless flights of stairs freezing at the top of the stairs. Parked in front of the hinata was a white van that was beat to heck with dents and scratches. She growled "He can't be here" haruka tightened her hand into a fist still at the top of the stair case and Motoko finally rose the top. She had not been ready for the pace that haruka had sped off in such a hurry. Haruka yelled at the moment frightening Motoko even more than usual

"AFTER WHAT HE DID! HIM AND THAT BITCH WILL BOTH PAY!" She ran to the front door of the Inn and slammed it open.

No one was out in the living room not even the lazy fox like girl kitsune. She continued to bellow as her brown hair waved back and forth showing that her emotions were flying all over the place at that point. The raven haired samurai quickly ran upon her trying to quiet Haruka down but it was to late. "EVERYONE! GET YOUR ASSES OUT HERE!" The girls quickly filed out of their rooms fearful of what may happen. Even the tanned foreigner named Su was calm which was a miracle in itself compared to her normal rambunctious super human self. The only person who did not show was Naru Narusegawa the auburn haired beauty of the group.

"NARU NARUSEGAWA GET DOWN THIS INSTANT OR WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIGHT ON OUR HANDS!" Haruka screamed her face red fearing to god that she wasn't with him.

Slowly Naru came down the stair case looking down as if she was in trouble like a puppy who went to the bathroom on the carpet. She hit the last step and then filed between the blue haired and quiet teen Shinobu and her best friend the ash haired sly fox kitsune. A word was not spoken as Motoko stood beside the silent women in line right next to Su. "Now that all of you are here. I have a few words for each of you" Haruka started down the line silently addressing each girl starting with Motoko.

"First the so called honorable samurai Motoko!" the words stung at the samurai since honor was the most important thing to her more than life.

Haruka looked her up and down looking at her red hakama which resemble some thing a ankle length skirt with ridges. Followed by her white robe top that portrayed her little as a woman. The silence to Motoko the fair skinned black haired beauty was nothing more than torturing but she stood waiting for Haruka to speak. She knew better to defy this women unless she wanted a unmeasurable pain brought upon her.

Haruka looked at her eye to eye that felt like she was peering into her very soul. "You call yourself honorable but this was the first honorable thing that you have done since you have met keitaro" Haruka glared at her making death like a child's toy. "Since you have been here you have attacked my nephew countless times without justified reason! Yes he is clumsy but that doesn't give you a excuse for hurting him every day from dawn til dusk! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO RESET A BONE, RELOCATE HIS SHOULDER, OR CLEAN A CUT ON HIM!" Haruka bellowed at her as the girls shook at her voice but stayed in their spots.

Motoko froze at her statement "Bones? Dislocations? Cuts? But he always looked fine when we saw him" Motoko said in a whisper looking down trying to process the information that Haruka had given her. Haruka jumped at the statement "THAT IS BECAUSE HIS SISTER IS A MASTER OF DESGUISES! HE LEANED ABOUT MAKE UP AND ARTIFICAL COVER UPS AND PUT IT OVER EVERY SINGLE BRUISE, CUT, OR BLACK EYE THAT YOU GAVE HIM! WHY HE NEVER SHOWED WHAT YOU DID TO HIM WAS BEYOND ME!" A tear fell from Haruka's face as she yelled at Motoko.

Motoko in a stupor fell to her knees in front of the tea house owner with a tear in her eye "it can't be true..." she whispered

Haruka bellowed again "OH ITS TRUE! HERE'S THE PROOF!" She reached in her pocket of her slacks and tossed her several pictures. A Motoko's knees laid the pictures of keitaro asleep, sheets only covering his waist and legs showing all the bruises on his chest and abdomen. "I TOOK THOSE JUST SO ONE DAY YOU COULD LOOK AT THESE AND SEE WHAT YOU HAD DONE TO HIM!" Fury showing in her face with a sign of hatred that no one had seen before.

Haruka then moved down the line and looked at ash haired Mitsune a.k.a Kitsune who was looking down trying to avoid any contact let the war be brought to her.

Haruka was not discouraged at all by the lack eye contact by the always squinting fox. She may act like a child with her mischievous ways but she had the body of a woman. She wore jeans and a tank top being lazy as ever. All she would do from time to time is write stories for a local news paper to earn a little cash here and there. The rest of the time she would bar hop teasing men into getting free drinks, bet on horses, or simply tease keitaro at every turn possible.

"MITSUNE KONNO!" haruka shouted making sure the fox heard it. She looked up timidly looking at the brunette with a demons glare straight at her. She even called Kitsune by her real name and the meant trouble no matter who said it. Kitsune's slanted eyes could not save her this time from the trouble she was in. She was hip deep in it just as the other girls were and there was no escape no matter what she tried.

Kitsune tried to play it cool but stuttered trying to speak "H.. Haruka, hows it been? How about a drink?" Everyone in the hinata house knew that kitsune's solution to all problems was drinking.

Haruka did not say a word leaving the air thick with anticipation and fear. Kitsune opened her mouth to say something but Haruka stopped her "You think your sly?" she said normally for the first time since she had been there that day. Kitsune opened her eyes surprised by her comment "Huh?" Haruka continued in regular tone a little horse from the yelling but her tone was firm as ever. "You conned a kind man that let you live in his house! In his house!" she said emphasizing that the Hinata inn was indeed his.

Haruka did not let up after that "And how did you repay him? By torturing him and teasing him at every turn making a GAME out of it!" Kitsune stood there taking the barrage of words looking into Haruka's eyes unable to tear her self away. "HE GIVES YOU MONEY! HE TREATS YOU KINDLY! YES, YOU NEVER HURT HIM PHYSICALLY BUT YOU ENCOURAGED THE OTHERS TO DO IT!" she bellowed again mustering all the rage she had at that moment. Kitsune fell to the couch behind in shock at the words only whispering "you are right...what have I done?" a tear trailed down her cheek as Haruka moved to the next girl.

There lie Koalla Su a foreigner from a land that they had been to before but had forgotten its name. She moved from behind Motoko to Kitsune and was now cowering behind Naru but no one could save her.

"Koalla Su" Haruka sad quietly knowing that loud words would not work with this blonde haired tan child. "Do you know what you did wrong to keitaro?" haruko whispered as the child cowered behind Naru who was looking down at the ground with no emotion at all at the moment. Su shook her head "no I don't" she said quietly which still amazed the girls since she had never been like this since she met them

Haruka knelt down and looked at the blonde foreigner in the face. "You hurt keitaro a lot. With all of your toys did you think that he would get hurt?" Haruka said knowing that even though this girl was a genius, she would still act as a child when I came to addressing problems. Su shook her head and simply stated "I thought he liked playing with me. He never complained about it any time I played with him before?"

Haruka pat the girls head sadly "Well you did but know why he didn't complain to you even though your toys hurt him a lot!" she said pointed at the word a lot so that Su understood meant that she had did something bad. Su in that instant fell back curling up into a little ball being the easiest to persuade because even though she was a child her innocence allowed her to understand what she had done faster then the others.

Haruka stood up and looked at both Naru and Shinobu.

Shinobu was ready to burst into tears meanwhile Naru had still yet to show her face. Haruko went to shinobu first changing from a outraged woman to one of kindness and warmth in front of shinobu. She whispered trying not to scare Shinobu. "Shinbo" Haruka said as she stood in front of the blue haired girl. She was dressed in blue sweater with maroon skirt with black stockings underneath. "My fair skinned lass" she said kindly trying to emulate what grandma hina usually said since Haruka was never much for praise "Out of all the girls here I am happy to say at least one of them was kind and caring towards keitaro."

Haruko leaned in and whispered in Shinobu's ear saying "Thank you. If it wasn't for the age gap, you'd probably have keitaro all to yourself right now"

Shinobu blushed deep red, bowed, and ran to her room with thoughts of keitaro flying around her fourteen year old head. Haruka looked upon her last piece of pray. The worst of the bunch, the one that had destroyed keitaro turning him into the empty she that laid at the tea house. "NARU NARUSEGAWA!" Naru jerked at her scream but stayed in perfect place unmoving. Haruka stomped over to the girl and belted away not caring that she wasn't even looking at her. " YOU ARE THE WORST PIECE OF FILTH THAT I HAVE EVER SET MY EYES ON!" Haruko started, her face turning red as she paraded.

"HE WAS KIND TO YOU! SHARED HIS TIME WITH YOU! HE SHARED HIS DREAM WITH YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU TELL HIM YOU HATE HIM OVER SOMETHING THAT HE DID NOT DO!" Naru trembled but answered quietly "Your right..I deserve every word. I hit him, called him names, and laughed at him. Yet, he still called me his friend. I'm sorry" Haruka slapped Naru hard! "SORRY! YOU THINK SORRY IS GOING TO CUT IT! THAT MAN IS IN A BROKEN HEAP OF TEARS AND YOU THINK THAT IS GOING TO CUT IT!"

That second they heard foot steps coming from the staircase that was behind the couch where the frozen kitsune sat.

"I can explain everything." A man came down in a pair black slacks, a blue t-shirt, and a white lab coat. Haruko looked at the man and her rage built to a all time high "NORIYSU SETA! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THAT MAN DOWN THERE!" she pointed towards the door of the Hinata house trying to point in the direction of the tea shop. Seta stepped down calmly approaching Haruka with his rough unshaven face and lanky black short hair. He sighs "I know, I told Naru that I was going on a trip hoping that it would give her a chance to be with keitaro."

"BUT I LOVE YOU!" Naru screamed and stepping forward towards Seta. He shook his head "I'm sorry but I can't return my love to you."

Naru's eyes widened in that second turning to tears falling to the floor crying her heart out. He looked at Haruka one time who had disgust and hate in her eyes towards the lanky man in front of her. "I am sorry, you will never see me again around these parts as my reparations to what I have done to keitaro."

Haruka breathed a sigh as she looked at Naru and whispered "Now you know the pain of keitaro. You have reaped what you have sewn."

Haruko closed the front door to the Inn glad to see Seta was gone at least from the house for the rest of her days.

She went back into the house and looked at the girls in all of their own stupors or pains. "Now girls, if you want keitaro to come back, you have to bring him back to his old self. "No matter the cost be it your honor." she looked at Motoko who was still on her knees. "your pride," She then looked at kitsune on the couch. "Or just the fact that you have to play nicer" looking at Su who was still on the floor curled up in a ball still listening to every word said. Haruka stood over Naru looking down at the crying girl "I won't kick you out but if you want to make it up to keitaro then it better be something good." Haruka glared once more at the crying girl.

Leaving the girls in their own stew Haruka went over to the kitchen to use the phone. She thought to herself "Keitaro should have one chance still of finding love and I know one girl that loves him more the group." but she then chuckled "well except for Shinobu".

Haruka picked up the phone "Hello operator, could you patch me into the Okinawa island?"
