By the way I forgot to tell you all this fanfic is about after they meet cheza

And after they meet that hanabito. So it's kinda like the anime except Haru is with them. By the way I haven't decided who Haru should be paired with. I don't know if it should be Hige or Tsume. I think I should go ahead and put her with Tsume.

Utsukushii Hana (beautiful flower)

Chapter 2: Growing relationships

It had been two days since Haru had joined Cheza and the wolves, and they all seemed to enjoy having her around. Well everyone except Tsume he didn't seem to trust her much.

(Authors note: that's what we should expect from Tsume right he never trusts anyone really.)

The wolves walked until they stopped in front of a lake. Then kiba noticed Haru and Cheza getting tired. "We'll rest here for the night". Said Kiba. "Sounds good to me". Replied Hige sitting on the ground while Toboe did the same.

Later that night Cheza and Haru sat by the lake swinging their feet back and forth in the water. While kiba and the others sat near the fire.

(Cheza and Haru)

"Do you remember anything about your past"? Asked Cheza. "No this one doesn't remember anything really". Replied Haru. "All I remembers is being in a huge tank of water and that this one had been sleeping for a long time".

"Well this one remembers everything about us". "And all the other ones like you and this one". Said Cheza. "What happened to them"? Asked Haru. "They all...withered away and died". Replied Cheza with a now saddened look. "So we are the only ones left. Haru said. "I am sorry".

"Wow those two sure get along great". Said Hige looking back where Cheza and Haru were. "Yeah I think maybe it's because their both flower maidens". Said Toboe. "And for one thing their both really pretty". "Yeah but I guess you could say their both not my type". Replied Hige.

"Well I don't like the idea of all of this". Said Tsume. "What"? Replied Toboe. "Think about it if those humans find out about Haru their gonna do all they can to catch us". Said Tsume. "But that doesn't mean we have to leave them". Said Toboe. "That just means we have to be more alert".

"Yeah lighten up Tsume your always so negative". Replied Hige. "What was that"! Shouted Tsume. But the argument was cut short as Haru and Cheza came into the clearing. "Is something wrong"? Asked Haru with a confused look. "No". said Kiba. "We should get some sleep we've got a lot headed for us tomorrow".

(Later that night)

Everyone had fallen asleep except Haru. She had too much on her mind. She had too much on her mind. She had heard what Tsume said. She knew he didn't trust her. But something had caught her attention it was Tsume's scar on his chest. She crawled over to tsume and him

"A scar". Said Haru while touching the scar. She moved closer to his face to get a good look at him. But soon she found her hands moving closer to his face until she finally touched his face causing him to wake up.

Tsume awoke only to have Haru right in his face touching him. Not even knowing who it was he pushed her to the ground. "Don't ever touch me"!! Shouted Tsume while chocking her. Haru tried to remove his hands from her neck but this only made him grasp harder. Tsume couldn't even see really clear since it was really dark so he didn't know who it really was.

Kiba awoke to a shouting Tsume he was about to ask what was wrong until he saw him chocking Haru. This made Kiba really pissed. When tsume finally realized who it was, kiba tackled Tsume and punched him right in the face.

"What are you doing"! "What the hell is wrong with you"! Shouted kiba. "What's wrong with me"! Shouted Tsume. "I'll tell you what's wrong I told you she couldn't be trusted". Said Tsume. "This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't bothered me"!

"No...I couldn't sleep and...was only curious about something". Replied Haru. All that shouting caused everyone to wake up. "What's all the shouting about"? Asked a tired Hige. "Yeah could you guys stop yelling". Said Toboe while rubbing his eyes.

"Its nothing just go back to sleep". Said Kiba going back to the spot he was at. "Haru what's wrong"? Asked a concerned Cheza. "Nothing this one is fine". Replied Haru putting on a fake smile, and taking one final look at Tsume before going to sleep.

(Next day)

The next day everybody had woken up early they had at to do if they were gonna sneak through at night. Out of everyone Haru really didn't get much sleep she felt guilty about last night. She shouldn't have disturbed him while he was sleeping. But she was still wondering about the scar on his chest.

"If were gonna move by night were gonna have to do this quick before the humans catch on". Said kiba. "Hige you go with Toboe into the city". "I'll go see how many areas the humans have blocked off". "Tsume you stay here and watch Cheza and Haru". "What"! Replied Tsume. "Why am I left to watch them"?

"Because if Toboe were to watch them and if the humans happened to come by he wouldn't be able to fight them all off". Replied kiba. Tsume just gave him an angry look and turned around he knew kiba was right the runt couldn't even catch dinner.

With that said they all went to where they were told to go leaving just cheza, Haru, and Tsume. "I am sorry". Said Haru. "About what"? Replied Tsume in his rude way. "About yesterday". Said Haru. "Whatever". "it's past now". Said Tsume.

There was silence for awhile until Haru moved closer to Tsume until she was sitting right next to him. Tsume was surprised how out of nowhere she just touched his scar. "Did it hurt"? Asked Haru. "Uh... It used to but it doesn't hurt any more". Replied tsume. "This one feels your pain". Said Haru while moving her long hair away from her neck revealing a large scar.

"Who gave you... uh"? Tsume was cut off when Haru embraced him into a hug. Tsume didn't know what to do at time's like this so the best thing he could do

Was hugging her back. "For some reason I fell like I belong in this world now that I'm with you and the others". "When I was in the other city the people would beat me as punishment for stealing". "But that was the only way to live". Said Haru. "That's why humans can't be trusted". Replied tsume.

(Hige and Toboe)

It's was almost dark and the sun was going down Hige and Toboe had been in the city all day and they had to mostly sneak because the humans were patrolling in the city too they had them completely blocked off.

"What the hell is that runt"? Said Hige walking about to Toboe who was waiting for him. "What do you think it's a present for Haru". Said Toboe revealing a dress. (A/N: well it's not a dress it's a tonic all you girls know what I'm talking about) It was a light purple. "I thought it looked pretty". "What's that"? Asked Toboe pointing to what Hige had. "Well she needs shoes doesn't she"? Replied Hige holding up the lavender colored boots. "And it looks like her pretty eyes". He also had a necklace that said her name with diamonds imprinted in each letter. "Come on lets get back before it gets dark". Said Hige

(Cheza, Haru, and Tsume)

"What's taking them so long"? Said Tsume getting real annoyed. Just then kiba came into the clearing. "Finally what took you so long"? Said Tsume. "Sorry they have the whole place surrounded". Just a few minutes after kiba came Hige and Toboe came. "They've got the whole city surround it was a mission just to get out". Said Hige walking up to kiba. "Yeah I know I was just there". Replied kiba.

"What's that"? Asked kiba looking at the stuff Hige had in his hands. "Oh yeah I almost forgot". Said Hige walking up to Haru. "These are for you". Said Hige giving her the necklace and putting the boots on the ground. "I doubt she'll like them". Said tsume remembering when they got cheza clothes.

Haru's face lit as she put on the boots and the necklace. "Oh this is for you to". Said Toboe while walking about to her and putting on the tonic for her.

"Thank you". "I am grateful". Said Haru with a very happy smile. "Now this one looks like your twin". Said Cheza walking up to Haru. "Yeah they do look like twins". Replied Hige. "We'll porky and the kid actually picked out something nice for once". Said tsume.

"I think it's about time we left". Said kiba. "Yeah we don't have time to waste". Said tsume walking off while kiba followed along with Hige. Toboe, Cheza, and Haru as the walked into through towards the long night headed for them.

Well that's the second chapter I hope you liked it. Hmmm it seems things are getting heated between Tsume and Haru. But don't start getting ideas there's more headed for them. Chapter three will be up soon.
