"You look like you're in a good mood."

Jason, the bouncer for the club Kairi worked in, remarked.

Kairi sat up as he came in and sat down on the other side of the bar.

"Yeah, no kidding. Got off early last night. Hey, you won't believe what happened!"

Jason rolled his eyes good naturedly(sp?) and prepared himself for her story.

"So, the other day I met this guy at a coffee shop, and oh my god Jason, he was SO HOT! And we talked there, but then we left and I didn't really think I was gonna see him anymore, but the guess what?"

"Uh...you saw him again?"

"Yes! He showed up here last night! Here! And he took me out to eat, and then he walked me home and kissed me on the cheek and it was so sweet, and we had a great time, and it was so wonderful! Oh god, Jason, he is so great! He's nice, but not in a dorky stupid way, he's really cool, and I just can't tell you how happy I am, I'm so happy!"

She ended by twirling around and giggling.

Jason laughed.

"From what you've said, he seems great. And if he can get you off work early, then he's got to be good for you. I'm jealous, he sounds hot."

Kairi stopped twirling and stared at him, eyes wide.

Jason laughed.

"I'm joking. But seriously, I'm glad you found some one. You seemed pretty lonely there for a while."

"Yeah, but now I'm ok. By the way, how are things going with you and Lilah?"

"It's going great! The other day-"

"Jay! The boss is gonna fire your ass if you don't get out there and do your job!"

Isaac, the dj yelled from the other side if the room.

"Ok, ok! I'm going! Nobody's comin' in here anyway!"

Jason grumbled as he stood up and went back out to the doorway.

Kairi laughed to herself as he left, and then returned to her daydreaming.

'I should probably get a job soon...'

Haru thought as he slowly poured himself another cup of coffee. He jumped as the phone rang.

"Jesus! Who the hell...? Maybe it's Kairi!"

He ran to the phone.

"Hello?"

He stopped breathing as he heard the reply.

"Hatsuharu?"

Haru hung up quickly.

'Hatori...Oh no..they found me...how the hell did they find me? I've got to get out...find another apartment...They can't find me...Not now...not now...What if they also know about Kairi? They couldn't. There's no way...I should call anyway.'

He searched the pages of the phonebook looking for the number of the club.

'Vibe...Vibe...where is it...there!'

He dialed quickly, heart pounding.

"You've reached the Vibe, can we help you?"

A male voice answered.

"Yeah. Can I talk to Kairi?"

"Yep. Just a minute."

Haru waited for a few minutes, growing more and more worried. After what seemed like a lifetime,

"This is Kairi. Can I help you?"

"Kairi? This is Haru."

"Hey! Uhm, you know I'm at home most of the day, and I'm really not supposed to use this phone..."

"I know, I'll let you go in a second. Has a man with black hair and glasses visited you? Or anyone else who's a Sohma?"

"Uh, no. Why?"

Haru mentally sighed in relief.

"Just wondering. It's nothing. So, I'll call you later, ok?"

"Ok. Bye."

"Bye."

Haru hung up and took a deep breath.

'Ok..ok..she's fine...she's fine...'

He started looking in the papers for a new apartment.

'That was wierd...I hope he's ok..he sounded...scared...I hope he's ok...Oh well. Whatever.'

And so Kairi continued her daydreaming, feeling slightly more thoughtful than before.
