Hey! I am SOOO sorry I haven't updated recently. I have been really busy, and I haven't been able to upload documents for a while. That was strange. But anyway, I can again. Yay!

Random thought: So, does anyone have any ideas for things that could happen? I'm kinda running low, and I don't know where this story is going. I know that's an awful thing to say, but it's true. XP

Chapter 13

When Ben and Kyo got home, Be was surprised to find two people laying in the grass. They were talking, and one of them had their hand in the air, pointing to the sky. "I wonder who that is," Ben asked, hoping Kyo might have an idea. Kyo turned his head, and noticed the hands.

"I think I know who that is." Kyo jumped out of the car, and he walked over toward the people. Sitting there in the grass, Hatsuharu and Isuzu Sohma. They were talking about who knows what, and Haru was pointing at the clouds. "Haru," Kyo said. "What are you doing here?"

Ben walked over, and he saw the two Sohma's sitting in the grass. "Sheesh, how many relatives do you have?" He asked jokingly.

"More then you could imagine," Hatsuharu said, standing up. The three guys chuckled a little, then Haru turned around and pulled his girlfriend up. He looked at Ben, then over to Rin, and back to Ben. "I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Hatsuharu Sohma, and this is Isuzu Sohma. We're Kyo's cousins." Haru ran a hand through his black and white hair, then shook Ben's hand. Rin looked at Ben suspiciously, but finally shook his hand.

Ben asked, "So, why are you guys here?" Haru smiled, and Kyo dropped his shoulders.

"Well," Haru said, "We just wanted to visit. Mostly we wanted to see how Tohru was doing."

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Kyo said. "Well, Torhu isn't here right now. She's working." Kyo shuddered, but he continued. "She'll be back in a few hours, so you can come back then."

"Can't they just wait here?" Ben asked. "I want to get to know some more of your relatives." Kyo sighed, annoyed, but he nodded. Ben smiled, and showed their guests inside they house.

…

They gave Haru and Rin the grand tour, and then they settled in the living room. "Where's the furniture?" Everyone laughed and Ben answered.

"Well, none of us have furniture, and furniture's expensive. We're going shopping for it tomorrow."

"We are?" Kyo asked, hating the idea already.

"Well, yeah," Ben said. "We'll go with Tohru and get some furniture. We can't keep sitting on the ground like this."

Kyo nodded. "Yeah, You're right. But do we have to go? I think Tohru can do a great job by herself."

"You're going to just let your girlfriend shop alone, after what happened last time she was alone," Haru said, creating an awkward silence.

After a few moments in the silence, Kyo said, "No, I won't. Of course I'm going to go with her!" Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm.

...

They talked for a long time, and all of them seem to lose track of time. They had remembered to put the groceries away, thanks to Ben. Kyo had cooked something for dinner for the four of them. They were just bringing the dishes into the kitchen, when there was a knock on the door. Ben looked at the clock, which read 9:20, and said, "Crap!" He ran to the door, and opened it.

"Well, I never expected to walk home after my friends told me not to," Tohru said, smile on her face. Ben gave her a hug, and the rest of the gang walked over to the door.

"Tohru!" Kyo said, joining the hug. "I'm so sorry!" Haru and Rin joined the hug too.

"I love all you guys, but I can't breath," Tohru just managed to squeak. They all let her go, and her smiled spread to all of them. "Rin! Hatsuharu! I'm so glad to see you!" Tohru said, giving both of them small hugs.

Tohru walked inside and opened the fridge. Everyone joined her in the kitchen, and she pulled out a small container of soup. She warmed it up and ate it. All the while there was warming conversation in the house.

"So, I've been wondering this for a while," Ben started, " Where you guys animals before?"

Haru and Rin shared a look, and they both glared at Kyo. "Why are you looking at me?" He asked. "Ben figured it out himself."

"Not like we care, anymore. Although, Akito might still hate you," Haru said.

"Anyway," Rin said, "I was the horse, and Haru was the ox." Haru nodded

"Oh, that would explain the hair," Ben said. The Sohma's all laughed, and Haru nodded.
