A/N: Sorry for releasing this chapter super late everyone! I didn't know what I wanted to all write with it! Not to mention that my life has been completely busy. (And I seem to be slowly starting to get a bit of a social life now that does not revolve around working. I hope that you all have had a great few months though! And, Happy (belated) Mothers Day to all mothers out there!

Chapter 6

"Oh! Maybe I should go talk to Zoey now! Then I can have the entire night off." I mused to myself in Japanese.

"Haru-chan, Takashi was wondering if he could test you a bit in fencing? He's pretty good at that as well." Honey finally asked.

This snapped me out of my musings after awhile. "Sure. It would be nice to train with someone else aside from my professor here. Not to mention that I would be honoured, Mori and Honey. You don't mind if I quickly change into my work out gear, do you?" I quickly asked.

Mori shook his head while I smiled in relief. I was into my work out gear before long. Mori had borrowed some things from Professor Lankford and had already changed. We quickly got into the proper stance. I decided to only use one foil this time, which earned a quirk of the eyebrow from the silent giant.

"Basic testing first, then if you want a dual foil demonstration, I can do so. Makes things easier to start." Was all I told them. Mori nodded. Then, we began.

Mori did a superb job at keeping up to my pace, which I expected nothing lesd of the kendo champion of Japan. However, soon it was time to show off some of the hard labor I had put forth from the past week. The second foil appeared in my handout of nowhere. Or so it seemed. I had called upon my magic to grasp another foil. I tossed one to Mori before I concentrated on grasping a second. Yet, it didn't come. I frowned in disappointment.

Apparently, I failed to see how many times in a day I could get it. My bad. I was just about to walk and get one, but I saw one get hurled at me out of my periphals.

"Thanks!" I quickly called out as Mori and I continued to 'dance' with foils. However, stamina had been something I never had. That was where Mori won the point. I smiled as I bowed to my senpai.

"Thank you, senpai!"

All I got was a smile and my hair ruffled. It was his way of praising me. I had missed it.

The whole battle had taken us at least twenty-five minutes.

"That was great Haru-chan! You really are skilled in fencing! Most of it should transfer to Kendo now. Though just slight modifications." Honey giggled.

"Thanks senpai." I smiled.

"Mommy, does that mean our little girl is growing up? Does she not need us anymore?" Tamaki whimpered.

"She was growing up before we even met her, you baka!" Kyoya snapped at his best friend, yet he smiled at me before he actually came to shroud me in his arms.

"Tamaki-senpai? If it makes you feel better, I will always need you guys. No matter how many times I get annoyed with the antics you all pull. I have missed you all more than I care to admit." I confessed with a sigh. I really didn't want to say that, but I knew it needed to be said as Tamaki had gone into a corner to grow mushrooms. Again, I couldn't figure out how I had befriended these guys. Or when I had started to consider them friends.

"She is right, Tama-chan! We will always need each other now." Honey said.

"You guys have a very strong bond, similar to what my friends and I have." Zoey stated finally. She was in the corner of the room.

"Damn straight, Zo! And, we're sorry for not being here for the past month, Haruhi! I'm Stevie Rae!" a short girl with a heavy Oklahoman accent came in.

"Pleased to meet you, Stevie Rae!" I bowed in respect. From what Zoey had told me about Stevie Rae, I knew that she was the Red Fledgling High Priestess.
