As they went to the market Honey realized this would have been a good time to have Rain spend time with Kaoru and sighed at his lack of foresight. He had just been so excited to go to the market he completely forgot!
"Is everything ok?" Rain asked him, a concerned expression on her face.
He gave her a bright smile, he could have them spend time together some other time, "Everything is wonderful Rain-chan!"
Rain chuckled, "Glad to hear that. Now I need to stop on the stall right here, can you go grab those spices from that stand over there?"
She pointed to some of the items and Honey repeated them to himself softly before nodding enthusiastically, "You can count on me Rain-chan!"
They did this a couple times more, Rain going to one stall, Honey going to another and they would come back and compare the goods they bought. Honey of course pulled Rain to all the various sweet stands and eagerly bought many of the goodies.
"Where do you get so much money from?" Rain asked, an incredulous expression on her face as she watched him continuously pull money out of his pockets.
Honey paused mid-bite. Rain knew that the Host Club members came from richer families, but she didn't know how rich...
She then shrugged, "Whatever, can I try a bite of that? It looks really good."
Honey gave a relieved smile and held out his small cake for her to take a bite from. He couldn't help but like her even more for not asking more about his background. He liked it that she liked him as Honey, not some "cute rich kid". It was nice. Very nice.
They continued on with a bit more shopping, separating again for Rain to get some milk while Honey went and grabbed some pancake mix.
Honey happily agreed to buy the syrup also and smiled as another customer came to stand next to him.
Rain turned around and watched as Honey put the syrup into his shopping bag and thanked the lady. As she walked to her new friend's side to see what he was looking at now, she saw the other customer, but at a closer look she saw something glint in the sunlight. Something that was startling familiar.
"Honey!" she cried out, lunging to scoop the smaller boy up in his arms and out of the way.
"What is it Rain-chan?" Honey questioned, "Oh Rain-chan! There's a man with a knife!"
She nodded curtly as she took off running, and couldn't help but notice that she could hear footsteps close behind them. She turned and weaved through the many people before ducking into an alley that was a good escape route she had used before when an over enthusiastic child wouldn't want to leave her alone, it had always worked before but not this time it would seem. Still the footsteps followed.
