The flash of white was a trench coat, as Usagi was noted to. Gazing upward her eyes landed on a black hair underneath a natural white top. The only other thing she could see was black leather boots. Momentarily she had been stunned, but then she wondered about Momiji's health. "Excuse me, could you move?" Usagi inquired, which caused the white trench coat person to crane their neck. Black eyes stared dully at her, but they turned fully. All she was met with was leather, lots of black leather. However, she was surprised to see in his arms a large blonde bunny with brown tipped ears. Cute red eyes stared back at her as she blinked.
"Ah, sir, where is Momiji?" Usagi asked as she glanced around the male. The male raised an interested eyebrow at the question, but did not react to her at all. Sighing at his no answer, Usagi raised a casual hand and began to stroke the nervous bunny in his arms. "Okay, how about a name?" Usagi intoned.
"Hatsuharu, call me Haru." The shaded hair male stated with a bored expression. Usagi nodded, still petting the bunny who had a funny expression on his face. Her bouncing eyes finally struck the forgotten clothes on the ground.
"Aren't those Momiji's?" Usagi inquired, pointing to the clothes. Haru glanced sideways at them with a shrug, though his grip on the rabbit tightened a bit. "Are you a friend of Momiji?" Usagi wondered. Haru smiled slowly and nodded at her question. 'Now we are getting somewhere.' She thought with a smile. "Cute rabbit, is it yours?" Usagi asked him. Haru shook his head in a slow deliberate motion, and Usagi with held a sigh. 'Okay and two steps back.' Usagi added. "Oh, is your hair naturally that color?" Usagi bemused, and observed as a change overtook the normally docile persona.
"Would you like me to prove it?" Haru responded, Usagi blinked.
"No, I just asked." Usagi answered. "If it was I was going to say it was cute." She added. Haru raised an eyebrow with a flirty smirk, and gestured his arms widely.
"I think your cute, and Momiji is lucky to be tutoring you." Haru stated, and glanced down at the rabbit in his arms as it kicked him. "Would you like to hold the bunny?" Haru inquired, while Usagi wondered at his change.
"Sure." Usagi chirped, normally she be freaking out over the fact that Momiji just basically disappeared after her hug, his friend wasn't freaking out about it, so she put her fears to rest. Haru withheld a smirk as he handed over the bunny, and then sat next to her.
The charming trio was not aware of two sets of red eyes watching. The two pairs belong to two different cats as it were. One pair of red eyes watched the trio with a scepticism befitting their personality. They turned to their partner with a worried frown. "There is something strange about those two boys." Luna stated, her eyes catching the change between boy and bunny. "It's lucky that Usagi is fairly gullible." She added in confidence. Artemis shook his head, he didn't believe that was such a good thing, but aloud Luna her ideas.
The other pair of red eyes belong to Kyo. Earlier he had caught the bunny way to happy as he skipped to a destination. Knowing the boy's state of mind, he followed to make sure to keep Momiji in line. It struck him if Momiji couldn't behave, Hatori would pull him from their school. This brought a smile to Kyo's face, he would be thrilled to have the rabbit out of his hair. Thus, his thinking brought him to spying on Momiji and his moment of change. Though he was surprise to see Haru dart in and save the rabbit from being exposed. Speaking of said rabbit, he couldn't change back as long as he is held in Usagi's arms. To which Kyo shook off his building temper, he wasn't jealous, he just figured another outsider couldn't be a good thing. This was what he was telling himself, though his memories kept showing him, the blond accepting his other form with out a flinch.
Mentally he knew she didn't fear that form, because the stench of fear wasn't there. However, that made Kyo slightly suspicious too, because there must be something about her that strengthened against his horrible form. Kyo stood from his crouch position, catching out of the corner of his eye, something white and black. However, when he looked over, he didn't see anything. Figuring it was time to talk to the blond he walked over. Only to be stopped by a familiar white cat, Kyo blinked. Now, he knew that cat was the one that Tohru had brung in that one night. Growling slightly, he squatted down to pick up said white cat.
Luna sighed as she saw Artemis do his job, and jogged in front of Usagi. Who looked down with a curious smile, but her eyes were serious.
"Sorry, Haru, tell Momiji if he shows back up, that I had to head home." Usagi commented as she scooped up her briefcase. Haru nodded with a smirk, and watched as Usagi followed the black cat. His attention then turned to the bunny back in his arms.
"You need to be more careful." Haru scolded the bunny, who frowned at him.
"It wasn't my fault." The bunny returned, and Haru sighed. "Sides, she is a lot like Tohru." the bunny added, and Haru nodded.
"True, but Akito wouldn't even consider dealing with another outsider." Haru warned. The bunny's long ears drooped, but you could see it nod.
Usagi followed Luna, and stopped before a boy who was holding Artemis rather vehemently. "Hey!" She shouted out as she approached him. The male looked shocked, and Usagi reminded herself of his presence the couple of times she had seen him. He had been the one arguing with the silvery-grey youth on her first day, and he had been in the group when she took that one picture. "What is it with the world and my cats lately?" Usagi muttered as she approached. "Excuse me, could you hand over Artemis?" Usagi asked while pointing to said white cat.
Kyo glanced between the two, his mind thinking odd thoughts. He kept his suspicions to himself as he handed the white cat over. Though he narrowed his eyes as he saw a matching cat in black standing before Usagi.
"Thanks." Usagi chirped and reached over with a quick peck to his cheek while bounding away. A hand was held to his cheek in remembrance, she had done the same to his cursed angry cat form. Kyo nipped a bit at his lip as he wondered about the blond, before turning and marching to where the other Sohma members were. Kyo arrived just in time for Momiji to turn back, and as such he struck the blond boy upon his head.
"Baka usagi." Kyo growled out, as the blond boy dressed quickly. Amazingly, no one else had witness the transformation. Then again, Momiji had not built up a fan base yet like Yuki had. Though as popular as Momiji was getting with the female population, it won't be very much longer. Ignoring those pointless thoughts, Kyo blocked a punch from Haru. That turned Kyo's attention and anger from the wailing Momiji to the now definite black personality.
Haru suffered two personalities, neither really scary or dangerous, but they were definite opposites. Vaguely like a schizophrenic persona, his lackadaisical personality vanished to his more dominating fiery personality. By this the Sohma had named his separate personality 'Black,' Haru. Though Kyo wasn't one for psychology, he truly thought that Haru had some mental problems.
If you thought about that statement though, each Sohma had their own set of problems. That just made them who they were, a individual in all course. Ignoring the three Sohma's for now, we turn back to Usagi.
Anything could be said for seeing a blond conversing with the cats on her shoulders. Yet, the people of the domain just passed it off, as an animal lover wandering around. Usagi nodded to something Luna said as she walked into her new home. Waving to Ikuko, and her younger brother Shingo, Usagi bounded upward to her room. Placing Luna down she missed the next statement about Momiji and his change. No, Usagi was to busy changing into more comfortable clothing. Yelling a good-bye to everybody, she dashed off to Kisa's school.
Yesterday, she had promised Hiro that she would watch over Kisa until he showed up. Bounding over with a smile, she barreled passed the group of obnoxious kids, and scooped up Kisa in a hello hug. Kisa shyly hugged back, and then was released as Usagi led her over to the school swing. Gently she pushed Kisa on the swing, as they chatted about the day. Usagi of course did not notice the approach of Hiro as her back was to him. However, Kisa caught sight of him as she swung backwards. Motioning behind Usagi, she nodded, and caught Kisa's swing so she could dismount.
Again Usagi was privy to a sweet scene between the two, as Kisa hugged the blushing Hiro. She hid a giggle behind her hand, and instead settled for a wide smile. It was this time that Hiro caught sight of Usagi's attire. "Odango Atama, what's the matter woke up late?" Hiro teased her, and Usagi sighed.
"No, I'm going to visit Rin in the hospital afterwards." Usagi answered. "I can do that, because I know Kisa's darling prince can look after her." Usagi teased back, and was rewarded by the boy's blush. "I'll see you two later." Usagi chirped good-bye. Before Hiro or Kisa could get a word in edgewise Usagi was gone.
"Wasn't Rin being released from the hospital today?" Kisa asked. Hiro nodded with a tired sigh, then he shook his head, and held Kisa's hand.
Honestly, I didn't mean for you all to wait, finals was annoying. Anyway, I want your Honest comment, how many thought Usagi was going to find out the Sohma curse and meet Akito? I just want to know. Anyway Happy Holidays, and Best wishes. Please Review, WCB.
