Thank you to Yarningchick and Bambi4ever for reviewing. J You guys inspire me to write more and I draw a lot from your stories Yarningchick.
Disclaimer: I seem to forget this a lot. Anyways, I don't own Neko no Ongaeshi, although I really would like to own Baron… J
Chapter 3
Baron woke up crabby. Again. He had been pretty crabby lately, and Muta and Toto just couldn't figure out why.
But Baron remained the perfect gentleman, even when Muta would mention seeing Haru. When that happened, his hands would grip the armrests of his chair, and his face would tighten even more. That, and the fact that he was even colder than usual, was the only sign that he gave that he was upset.
But Muta and Toto just couldn't figure it out.

Haru walked through the streets after her art class. Everyone had praised her work again, and she had smiled, as usual. Nobody could tell anything was wrong with her. The only two people who would have been able to notice weren't there to see. Her mother had died a few months ago. On her death bed, Naoko had confessed to Haru that she knew about Baron, that she had seen Haru talking to Muta and figured it out. She had forgiven Haru, then died.
The only other hadn't seen her in over three years. He had always been able to tell what she was feeling. Except one feeling.
Yes, Haru Yoshioka was in love with Baron Humbert von Gikkingen. And she knew it could never be.
Haru ran the rest of the way to her apartment. She curled up on the doormat and cried again.

"We must do something!" exclaimed Mercural.
"We know my son, we just need to gather our thoughts and decide what," Gabriel comforted him.
The angels were sitting in Gabriel's "chapel" again, thinking about what to do with their predicament.
Suddenly, Mercural sprang up from his seat. "I know!" He beckoned to the other two angels. The listened to his idea. When he finished, Gabriel turned to Uriel.
"Is it possible?' he asked. Uriel thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, we will need the help of some of our brothers, but it is possible. I have called them already. They are on their way." Gabriel nodded then smiled at Mercural.
"This is a very good plan, I understand why the Greeks mistook you for a God, even if it was blasphemy." Mercural smiled at the praise.
"I would do anything to help Haru. She is such a sweet, caring girl."
At that moment, the doors burst open and four shimmering angels appeared.
Short, yes, I know, don't kill me. I'm going to update again today, I hope. If not today, then tomorrow. This chapter was really hard to write. But know I know what I'm going to do next. So, no worries! J
