Recap:
"Yes, yes I suppose. Don't get her pregnant Haa-kun." He teased.
"That's it!" Apparently Kyou heard the last comment. "You're sick Shigure!" He shouted as he dragged him out of the room. "Sick!"
Haru laughed. "We're not planning on that anytime soon."
Instead of replying, Reina just looked at him. It made him uncomfortable.
"What?"
"We're not?"
Haru stared back at her, taken aback. "Well, I wasn't. I mean, we're only 16 and that sort of thing is…well it's not decent."
She didn't say anything. "Oh, so that's how you feel. Okay."
She sounded rather dejected. You dumbass, what if I want to get laid? Don't be disgusting! It's not right! Screw what's right! Shut up!
Haru realized that his silence seemed odd to her. She couldn't hear his thoughts. She didn't know what Black Haru was saying. But would that have made her happy?
"Reina, this isn't the time or place for this." He whispered as Kyou returned. She simply nodded.
"All right you two, look." Kyou said, trying to sound in authority. "I don't want anything to happen to you guys, so be careful. Whatever you do, don't let Akito know anything. Got it?"
"Don't worry about us." Reina said. "I've been fine without you for 15 years, I'll be okay now."
Haru thought he saw a hurt expression on Kyou's face, but it passed so quickly he wasn't sure if he was just imagining things.
"Whatever. Hey, it's getting late. Take Momiji home, will you?" Kyou walked off.
"What's wrong with you?" Haru asked. "That was a little harsh, don't you think?"
Reina shrugged. "You're right. I want to go home now."
"Fine." What's getting her so upset. She was happy before. She's just a bitch. Shut up!
Back at the house, Reina seemed all too perky. "What do you want to do, Haru? Train? Eat? Study? Go out?"
"Um…why don't you sit down and relax while I cook dinner?"
She walked up to him and pushed him against the wall, grinning. "What if I don't want to relax?" She then kissed him passionately, and Haru's body responded happily.
What am I doing? He thought suddenly. Is this taking advantage if she wants it? He didn't want to break off the kiss. Her tongue fit in his mouth like it was meant to be there, and her body felt warm against his. They fell to the floor.
"Haru," she giggled. "Why didn't you kiss me like this last time?"
"I don't know." Haru felt incredible. Nothing had ever felt this perfect before. He enclosed her in his arms. "You're amazing." All of the doubts before seemed to have slipped his mind. What can really go wrong if we both want this?
There was a noise outside, and they both sat up quickly.
"What was that?" Reina whispered.
Haru jumped up and ran to the window. Running from the house was a man he recognized.
"Who's that?" Reina asked, appearing next to him.
"That's one of the servants that works closely with Akito." Haru murmured. "We're in big trouble."
Reina just laughed. "I love trouble." She tried to kiss him again, but Haru pulled back.
"Aren't you the least bit worried?" He asked incredulously.
"Not with a big strong man like you by my side." She said, smiling.
"What's gotten into you?" He yelled. "First the whole sex thing at Sensei's, and now this!"
Reina looked like she'd been smacked. "You don't like it?"
"I like you for you!" He shouted. "Not your body. You're an amazing person. You don't need to prove anything to me."
She stared at the ground. "Hm mphm."
"What?"
"I'm sorry." She said louder. "I'm sorry. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore!"
"Why? You were fine before. Why now?" He asked, skeptical.
"Because I didn't realize I loved you before!" She cried.
Haru was at a lost for words. "W-What?"
"I'm realizing how much I love you!" She repeated. "And I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I've never felt like this before-I…I want you to be happy!"
He smiled. "I am happy. With you. And nothing and no one can change that. So go back to being yourself."
Slowly, she smiled back. "In that case I should be freaking out about that man who was watching us through the window."
"Yes, that is a very big problem. No doubt he'll tell Akito…and well…then Akito will summon us…and something will happen."
She nodded. "Maybe we should ask Shigure for help…"
"Sensei is the only person capable of calming Akito down. Let's go back over there for advice."
Sort of an odd chapter. Anyway, read on.
