Chapter 4: New faces (16 years later)

Haru growled irritably as he excited the super market, bags of groceries in tow. It had been a long day, and to top it all off Rin had an emergency delivery at the hospital. Thus, leaving him to do the shopping, then on top of that he still had to go home and cook dinner.

He was caught of guard when a tall man dressed in a suit suddenly ran into him in his hast. One of the many bags Haru was carrying fell to the ground shattering the small bottle of soy sauce the bag contained, and splattering the a four mentioned man across his shoes and pants. Haru blinked surprised as he looked at the angry businessman. "Please sir, it was an accident." He said as the man rounded on him his face red with anger. "Why you little shit, thanks to you I have to cancel my appointment. Damn it! Look at my suit, its ruined." The man sputtered looking down at his ruined suit. "This thing costs more then you'll ever make, you insolent little Prick...." The man blinked surprised when he was cut off by a cocky voice.

"Shut the Hell up! Yer makin my head ring you bastard." Black Haru stated his eyes narrowing menacingly. The man gulped as he took a step back. "Heh, what's the matter you scarred? You should be." Haru asked as he lifted the man off the ground by his shirt collar. "Hmmmm... Maybe I'll teach you a lesson in manners, or better idea I'll show you instead." Haru yelled in the man's face, who'd gone limp in Haru's grasp. Haru smirked as he raised his fist above his head as the man cringed and looked away. Haru blinked when he felt a hand suddenly stop his hand mid swing. "Who the Hel...?" Haru asked angrily whirling around to face his assailant.

"Yah know yer a real bastard when you go black." A familiar gruff voice said as Haru came face to face with orange-headed mane, "Kyo?" Haru asked turning white again. His eyes grew wide when he noticed he was holding a trembling man by his shirt collar. Haru blinked as he dropped the man, who instantly got to his feet and ran down the street.

"Nice hello to you too." Kyo grumbled looking at Haru. "Why am I constantly saving your sorry ass?" Kyo asked glaring at Haru, who chuckled "You haven't changed much." Haru said smiling at the older Sohma. Attitude wise Kyo was the same, appearance wise was another story. He now stood at 6'4" and had filled out, his hair was cropped short about 3 inches on top and about 2 inches on the sides and back. His eyes still had their fiery gleam, and he still wore loose fitting clothes.

"Let me guess, Haru Sohma?" Came a young male voice from beside Kyo. Haru blinked as he took note of the teenaged boy standing next to Kyo. The boy stood about 6'0'' with short unruly black hair. And the same fiery red eyes as Kyo. The boy wore slightly fitting jeans and a fitting short sleeved gray shirt.

"I don't believe it!" Kyo stated mock shock in his voice. "You do listen." He said closing his eyes. "Sometimes," the boy said smirking at Kyo. "Only when I want to." The boy stated crossing his arms. Kyo rolled his eyes. As Haru raised an eyebrow, as he looked between Kyo and the boy. "Um...." Haru started making them both look at him.

"Oh. Heh, sorry. Tomi Sohma." The boy said introducing himself. Haru nodded looking at Kyo. "Yeah, the teenaged brat, not to mention my son." Kyo said giving Tomi a playful punch on the arm. Haru's eyes went wide as he looked between the father and son. "Anyways, were on our way to the main house, you comin?" Kyo asked, as he turned around from where he and Tomi had been walking down the street, only to find Haru still standing in the same spot still stunned.

Kyo sighed as he stood gazing at the sprawling Sohma main house. It had been almost twenty years since the last time he'd been here. "Hey, pop? I'm gonna go down to the pond." Tomi said heading down to the pond in the middle of the complex.

He had full intentions of sniffing out Hatori when a young female voice made him turn. He blinked at the young woman standing before him. She was about twenty with shoulder length gray hair and deep set of gray eyes. "Hello, your Kyo correct?" She asked her voice as light as a spring breeze. "Yeah?" he asked what was with this girl and why was he getting this weird vibe. "Hmmm...I thought so. Please come with me." She said motioning for him to follow.

Kyo sighed following the girl to a small bench over looking the compound. "Please have a seat." She said quietly motioning to the spot beside her. Kyo declined by remaining standing. She sighed "Very well." She said looking out to the complex.

"Heh, look lady, I ain't here to chit chat." Kyo spat his temper getting the better of him. The girl blinked surprised by his sudden out burst. "I'm terribly sorry, you must think I am very rude." She said quietly putting a hand to her chest. "My name is Toshi, Head of the Sohma family." She said giving Kyo a small smile. Kyo's jaw nearly hit the ground. He'd just bit off the head of the new Akito.

"Hey, I didn't know that you..." Kyo began apologizing. Toshi cut him off by raising her hand. "It's alright I know of the cat's temper, that's whey I wished to speak to you. The cat of this zodiac is very different from you." She stated a look of puzzlement crossed her face.

Kyo looked surprised, she was so different from Akito. Toshi suddenly stood; she gave Kyo a small smile. "I'm afraid I must be going. Thank you for speaking with me." She said quietly. Kyo watched her head back towards the main house. "Oh Kyo, please tell your son I'd like to speak to him." Toshi called over her shoulder. Kyo only nodded.

Well that's that's it for chapter 4 hope you enjoyed it. I'm adding in a new feature from now on each ch. will have at least 1 character bio at the end. And once again thank you for the nice reviews.

A/N: the whole "kitty" thing had to deal with Toshi being the head of the family. She can automatically tell what the spirit they are. That's why she said kitty because Yukiko is the cat.
