Rei smiled as she and Hatori watched the kids run back and forth along the beach Momiji looked at her and gave her a smile as if to say 'I'm glad you and Hatori are ok.' . She gave him a smile and he went back to playing in the water, half practically drowning Kyo. Kyo got mad and flung Momiji a good 8 feet away from him. Rei got up to help Momiji and hit Kyo but Momiji popped up from the water laughing, "Do it again! Do it again!"
Rei smiled and shook her head as Hatori smiled at her. She felt happier and she finally understood Hatori he wasn't the type to let someone he loved get hurt, and she didn't care about his coldness. She loved him and she wasn't going to stop loving him even if that meant that Akito was going to be hard on her. "Hey Hatori?"
"Hm?"
"Weren't you coming up with Akito san?"
"Yeah he's here… Why?"
"I was just asking that's all."
"Ok then.."
"Hatori oji chan? Why aren't you going in the water?" asked Kisa.
"I don't care for the water very much."
"What are you doing then?"
"Watching you kids have fun."
"OH! Are you and Rei onee chan back together?"
"Yes we are who told you that we were going out?"
"Shigure oji chan."
Hatori smiled a little at her and she turned her attention to Tohru, then Hatori glared at Shigure who was looking at him with horror.
"When we get back I am telling the publishing industry everything I know about you since you were four years old." He said with a glare.
"WHAT!" Said Shigure with pure horror.
Rei threw back her head and laughed, "Uh oh Shigure someones maaaaaaad at you!"
"Shit."
"I MEAN it this time too."
"Awww c'mon Haa kun! Don't please!" Shigure's fake tears made Rei laugh even harder.
"Oh quit it you big baby."
"Liiissstteeen Tohru kun Haa kun's being mean to me!" whined Shigure to Tohru.
"Don't run crying to her!"
Tohru looked at them and gave Rei a confused look. "Don't look at me…I don't know what to do.." said Rei still laughing.
Tohru patted Shigure on the head, "Poor Shigure san!"
Hatori shook his head and sighed.
Rei smiled and put her head on his shoulder, "Now I know what you go through with him…"
"Yeah, see why I always have a head ache?"
"Yeah. Poor baby.." she leaned over and kissed him.
"Don't baby me…"
"Why not? You're just SO cute when you pout."
"Geez…"
"Awww are we bashful?"
"Hey hey hey! Rei we're going to have a watermeleon smashing thing! Wanna join us?" said Momiji.
Rei looked at Hatori.
"I cant join you Rei, I have to get back to Akito." He said.
"Okay.. have fun I guess."
"Oh just loads of fun."
She kissed him, "Bye talk to you later."
"Okay have fun. Tell me all about it later ok?" He kissed her back.
She nodded and followed the kids back to the house.
"So Hiro's mother is having a baby? Well Hiro congrats." Said Rei as she carried a water melon.
"He'll be an older brother that doesn't quite fit right."
"It never does. Well Ayame nii san doesn't fit right as an older brother either."
"You're right, you're right don't remind me." Said Yuki annoyed.
"I wonder if it will be a girl or a boy…."
"Either will be great!"
"B But if it's a girl he'll be sad because he can't hug it." Said Tohru.
"But since it definatley won't be possessed by an evil spirit it wont make it's mama sad!" said Momiji.
"Ah! Why's that?"
"He means that all the members of the zodiac have been born. As long as we're all alive there won't be another." Explained Haru.
"It's nice…people giving birth because they want children." Said Yuki.
"But Hiro's mama was fine when Hiro was born right!" said Momiji.
"Yeah now that you mention it."
"When Hiro turned out to be the Ram she burst out, "I LOVE SHEEP!" Quite a mother."
"Isn't she? She's great isn't she!" said Momiji.
Tohru started to lag behind them Rei was about to say something but Momiji beat her to it.
"Tohru! Is something wrong? Is the watermelon too heavy?" asked Momiji.
"I'm alright but you did buy a lot of them…."
"That's because when it comes to watermelons…."
"Hm?"
" There has to be a watermelon smashing tournament!" shouted Momiji.
"HUH?" said Rei and Kyo together they looked at each other and smiled.
"To celebrate Hiro's mama having a baby!" said Momiji.
"Kind of a tacky way to celebrate." Said Haru.
"Momiji probably came up with that right now." Said Yuki.
"Would someone please realize I'm not happy, and that celebrating is not going to make it better?" said Hiro unhappily.
"You really do go from one annoying thing to the next… First of all it's a waste." Said Kyo.
"It's fine. There's a sheet under them."
"Momiji where are the blindfolds and sticks?" asked Yuki.
"Uh? What's that?"
CRACK! Rei turned to the sound, there was Haru with his fist straight through a watermelon. Rei sighed as Haru started to eat it. "Don't break it with your fist then eat it!"
"Go for it Hiro it would be a good story to tell when you're a big brother." Said Haru.
"I have no idea what you're talking about…."
"I will do my best to smash one in celebration!" said Tohru.
"?" thought Yuki, Kyo and Rei looked alarmed.
She readied herself, "In celebration of Hiro san's baby.."
"I told you it's not my baby!" shouted Hiro.
" I TOHRU HONDA WILL HUMBLY SMASH THIS WATERMELON!" shouted Tohru she quickly brought down her fist.
"Stu!" said Kyo.
"EH?—" said Yuki.
"Oh Crud!" shouted Rei she made a grab for Tohru.
"TAKE THAT!" shouted Tothru.
GONG!
Tohru's hand shook and tears came to her eyes.
"Are you crying because you couldn't break it or because it hurts?" asked Kyo, "You really are a moron."
Rei covered her eyes and shook her head, "Nice…. Are you ok?"
"I I'll do my best to celebrate too!" said Kisa.
" Kisa I'm begging you STOP!" shouted Hiro.

Rei woke up the next day and smiled, she hadn't had have this much fun since she was little. She had ran away from home when she was little and her grandmother had taken her in for two years, her grandmother was the one who did watermelon smashing with her during the summer. She got on her grayish green plaid skirt and white button up shirt. She slipped on her low top converse and walked out of her room. They were all in the living room talking, "Hey morning."
Kyo looked at her in shock, She She's cute! He thought surprised.
"What Kyo? Why are you looking at me like that?"
He just stared at her.
"ookkaay? So guys what are you doing today?"
"We have to go visit Akito… can you stay here with Kyo and Tohru?" said Yuki.
"Of course."
They left, "Kyo why aren't you going to see Akito?"
"The cat isn't ever invited."
"Wow now you're talking just fine… Why were you looking at me like that?"
"No reason. You just look different with that shirt and skirt outfit. You look like a girl instead of a tomboy."
"Well a girl sometimes has to give up her tomboyish ways…"
"Well…. You look nice."
"Thank ya."
"So what do you wanna do?"
"Tohru any ideas?"
"Ummm…no.."
Rei took out some cards, "Lets play Dai Hin Min then." She shuffled the cards as Kyo and Tohru watched her.
"Rei san you look very pretty."
"Thank you Tohru, you look cute."
"Ehh! Me? N N No! I'm not cute!"
"Yes you are."
A knock on the door made both of them jump, there was Hatori he smiled down at Rei. "Hey."
"Hello Hatori san!" said Tohru.
"Hey what's up?" Rei said she smiled at him.
"Nothing much… Just came to make sure you and Kyo didn't kill each other."
"Hahaha." Laughed Rei. Kyo glared at him.
"What?"
"You did something to my sister to make her depressed a couple days ago what was it?"
"It's already solved ok Kyo? Chill out." Said Rei she conked him on the head hard.
"Okay I take it back you're not cute youre not sexy you're nothing but a big strong gorilla!" yelled Kyo as he massaged his head.
"WHaT!" Rei pinched his cheek and pulled on it.
"OWOWOWOWOWoWoW!" yelled Kyo.
