Chapter Two: When The Sun Lights Our Souls.

Shinobu, Naru, Kaolla and Motoko were relaxing in hot springs at the inn, talking about the last weeks occurrence of the strange and mysterious Shizuku. "Poor Haruka, she doesn't seem the same." Kaolla yelled out. "Hush Kaolla, we should try to think of what we can do." Naru said quietly. "Nothing. We shouldn't get involved in her love life." Motoko replied bitterly. "Your just angry cause you scare off all the guys you think are cute!" Kaolla mocked. Motoko angrily stood up, revealing quite a lot to some fortunate passers. "You be quite about that! I can get any man I want!" Motoko angrily replied. "Now you can, I think half the guys from your school have seen you just now." Naru speculated. Motoko was blushing furiously as she sat down again covering herself quickly. Kaolla giggled madly as she pointed and mocked Motoko. "Kaolla, hush now. Naru urged quietly. They could here some knocking at the door. "Kaolla go answer the door." Motoko told her. Kaolla shook her head "Nu uh! You answer it!" Kaolla argued. "Kaolla, just go answer the door will you?" Naru asked her nicely. "Ok fine! But you two owe me something! Like some candy!" Kaolla demanded as she stood up and walked to the door. "Did she grab a towel?" Motoko asked Naru. "No. That girl is going to get arrested one day." Naru replied. Kaolla walked to the door dripping water. "Who is it!" She asked. "Shizuku." A voice said. Kaolla opened the door and Shizuku looked at her, his eyebrow arched "You think you should have a towel on or something?" He asked her. "I'm going right back in the hot springs so why bother?" She replied. "Touché, answering a question with an answer that says the question." Shizuku stated. "Thanks! Come in, Haruka will be down soon or something." Kaolla said before walking off. "Who was it Kaolla?" Naru asked her as Kaolla sat down. "It was Shizuku." Kaolla replied. "That pervert! He probably came on purpose to-" Motoko started. "Do you have something against all men or something? I mean Motoko really, he seems like a nice guy, except the whole vampire evil kill you thing. But still, you should try to hang around him, he might teach you something." Mitsune cut in. "Or kill me." Motoko added bitterly. Shizuku waited for Haruka in the living room. He sat down and closed his eyes to meditate. "Shizuku? Is that you? What are you doing here?" Haruka asked as she walked in. "Waiting for you." He replied quietly, opening his eyes. "Shizuku, I said not to. You can't love again so I will move on." She said as she watched him. He nodded "I thought a lot though, of what could have happened with us. I wanted to see what happens. That would be nice wouldn't it?" Shizuku asked her. Haruka sighed happily "I was wondering when you were going to say this Shizuku. Alright then, lets see what happens." She replied. He smirked and gently pinned her to the wall. "Sounds like a plan to me then." He said before kissing her deeply. She grinned and returned his kiss wrapping her arms around him. "You always were persuasive Shizuku." Haruka said happily. "Of course. Heh" Shizuku replied, his hands slipping down to Haruka's pants. At that moment Shinobu stumbled in, crying madly, her face was red, her clothes were ripped, she reeked of something. "Shinobu! Is that you? What happened to you!" Haruka said running to Shinobu. "I know. I can see it. It's easy to understand." Shizuku answered for her. Haruka looked at Shizuku strangely. "Rape. By a boy, high school age I would guess, probably with the post exams to get to Tokyo U and the constant stress of still being a virgin he decided to rape a girl. Shinobu just happened to be there first. Am I right Shinobu? Just nod your head." Shizuku said like he had been they're watching. Shinobu cried louder and nodded sadly, tears streaming down her face. "It.makes sense now.Motoko!!!!" He yelled out. Not knowing what had happened Motoko walked in growling. "What do you want." She snarled at him. "I figured it out. That's why you despise men. You were almost raped weren't you?" He asked her quietly. "What? How did you." Motoko started but then stopped, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your friend Shinobu just got raped. I think you would like to help me catch the little bastard who did this would you not?" Shizuku asked her.
