Chapter 06:-The Dojo

The next day, Haru announced that he was going "to see 'Karu at her dojo, anyone wanna tag along?" Kyo shrugged, saying he might as well check it out. Yuki passed, saying he had a date with Machi today.

Momiji said "yeah!" a little too eagerly, making Haru raise an eyebrow, and Kyo to stare at him. He blushed, but they didn't say anything so he calmed down. Haru told them to be ready by that afternoon, Hatori would be taking them.

They pulled up at the entrance to the dojo. Haru got out, opening his jacket, to reveal a sleeveless white shirt and his many accessories. He turned to smile at Hatori.

"Thanks for the ride, Tori-Nii." He said. Hatori nodded, and smiled, driving off again. Kyo had taken off his shirt, and Momiji had removed his tie, and opened the buttons of his school shirt. Since he'd become the new President of the Student Council, he'd had to come in some days of the summer to finalise next years' activities, and he hadn't had time to get changed.

It was a really hot day. They walked into the courtyard of a small, but well-kept and tidy dojo. In the middle was a group of people, mostly younger kids, who looked like they'd just finished a lesson. They were all crowded around someone in the center.

'Probably their teacher.' thought Momiji. The crowd cleared as people spotted the newcomers. Momiji gasped as he recognised the 'teacher'. It was Hikaru! He noticed her ready smile switch to a frown, her fists clenching at her sides when she recognised Haru.

"Class Over! Go on Home!" she yelled, not taking her eyes off the three visitors. The kids all ran off, and Hikaru remained, facing them. She briefly looked at Momiji, nodding as their eyes met. He blushed at her acknowledgement of him, but smiled at her a little.

"You okay? No lasting damage, I hope?" she asked, almost smiling herself. He shook his head, his confidence growing a little now she'd spoken.

"I'm fine." He told her. He could feel his cousin's eyes on him, but tried to ignore the question in their eyes. Hikaru nodded once more, then turned her eyes to Haru.

"Well? What are you doing at my dojo?" she demanded. Momiji started. 'Her dojo…! No way! How can such a young girl own a dojo? Unless…'

Was this Hikaru's Family Dojo, where…Haru had defeated her! Had she inherited it? But how, hadn't her grandfather-?

"That's so mean, 'Karu." Haru feigned sadness. "Can't I come ta see ya at all?"

She glared at him before exploding, "Shut the Hell up, you! Haru, don't act like you're my damn friend! I've got no interest in being your friend! Either put your fists where your mouth is, and fight me, or get the Hell lost!"

Haru sighed, moving away from the other two to face her. "Fine. Guess we gottw do this pointless routine once again."

She let out a cry and leapt at him in anger, attacking full-force. A gain, Momiji was shocked at her speed and accuracy. She seemed like a totally different person where Haru was concerned. When she fought him he could see the fire of anger and desperation in her eyes.

'She's in pain…when she fights him. I bet…she knows, deep down, that she can't ever beat Haru. Then why does she fight-?' he wondered.

Just then, Momiji snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of a body crashing to the ground about 5 feet away! Hikaru had fallen back! Haru's eyes…had changed.

"Crap!" Kyo shouted. "He's turned Black!"

'Black! Oh no!' Momiji was scared. The only time Haru had turned Black was when something annoyed him. Hikaru got up shakily, only to be grabbed by her hair by Balck Haru and tossed high into the air again! Kyo leapt beside Haru, trying to stop him as he started to mercilessly beat her!

"Stop it, Haru! That's enough! You'll kill her!" Momiji cried out, also rushing into the frey.

"Yeah! Well maybe then she'll finally get it!" he shouted. He stopped in his attack, and just placed his hand over Hikaru, who was shaking from fear at the re-awakened Haru in front of her, speaking gently now.

"Come on, 'Karu. Stop this. You don't deserve it, you've got to let it go." She didn't look at him. He started to walk off. She yelled behind him, "No way! I will beat you! I will!"

He turned, looking at her with pity. "He didn't care you know…" he said quietly. Enraged Hikaru rushed at him, grabbing his shirtfront, and shaking him hard! "Shut up, you! What do you know! It's all your fault! You've ruined my life! I hate you! I hate-!"

He grabbed her arms, pinning them to her side. "Fine, hate me! But quit killing yourself over that bastard-of-a-grandfather who didn't give a shit about you to begin with! Forget about this revenge shit and live your life, 'Karu!"

He threw her from him. She fell, sobbing from anger it seemed, but Momiji could tell she was in desperate pain. His heart ached for her. He agreed with Haru, but how could they make her see…! What could they do!

To be Continued…

A/N:-Well, whaddya think of that? Was it good! Way ta tell her Haru, eh?

B.T.W I'm in a bit of a fix! You guys won't mind what age I make 'Karu, would you? It's just she's….in my original (I'm not telling what…!), but I wonder if you'd like her to be older or younger than Momiji? Or don't you mind? Please tell me, in your reviews preferably. If I don't get any opinions, I'll stick to my original! So don't blame me if you hate it!
