Chapter 3 The new cat
(Barons POV)
After a long ride we finally were in the Cat kingdom. "Baron you seem to be tired." Louise said. "I am perfectly fine and all I need to know is has Lune found Haru yet." I said as I started to walk towards the palace. "Baron you still haven't told me about this Haru!" Louise demanded. "And it's because I don't want to tell you, Louise." I said. Maybe I was too rude to her but I certainly wasn't in the mood to tell her about Haru.
"Baron!" Yuki shouted and ran to us. "Is there anything new?" I asked. "I'm afraid not. Please come in." Yuki said and guided us to the palace. We went into one of the quest rooms and Muta was there too with someone. "Hello Baron." Muta said. "May I introduce you Choco." Yuki said and the brown cat turned around. "Nice to meet you mr. Gikkingen." the brown cat said.
I could hear how Louise giggled to Chocos name but I thought it was rather cute. "Nice to meet you too Choco and you may call me Baron." I said and gave a little smile. "Choco is going to take me place as a waitress because I'm going to marry Lune." Yuki said with a little smile. Suddenly the door burst open and revealed Prince Lune. "Well?" we all asked in unison. "None, I'm starting to believe that Haru is alive."Lune told. "But, what about the wounds?" I asked. "It would be possible that someone is treating her." Prince Lune said.
After a while Prince looked at my companions. "Lune this is my friend Toto and this is…my fiancé Louise." I said and then prince Lune turned to look at the brown cat. "This is my friend Choco. I hope you don't' mind if she takes my place as a waitress." Yuki asked. Lune looked at his bride and then nodded. "I don't mind. It's nice to meet you Choco." Lune said and smiled a little. "I'm sorry but I need to go and make some preparations. And Baron I need to talk to you later." Lune said and I looked at him and nodded.

Later that night Prince Lune came to the library and started to talk to me about Louise. "Baron I thought that…You liked Haru or am I wrong?" Prince Lune asked. "Yes, I like Haru and believe that I was shocked when I woke up today and Louise was there." I said.
"Would you care to explain?" Lune asked. "As you know I'm a figure. And so is Louise although she never had a soul before like I do. Until yesterday of course." I explained. Lune thought about it for awhile and then he nodded. "I think that I understand your situation now but it would be terrible if Haru found that you are already engaged. " Lune said and I nodded sadly. it would indeed be terrible if she feels the same about me. "But now we need to focus on finding her." Lune said. "But where should we start?" I asked. "Let's think about that tomorrow. It's been a rough day and I am sure that we need rest." Lune said and left.
Because I wasn't tired I stayed in the library and tried to read but my thoughts went to Haru. 'I wish I would be able to dance with her again.' "Um…excuse me Baron." Someone said suddenly. I opened my eyes to see the brown cat was there too. "Good evening…Choco." I said to her. "I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you." she said. "Don't worry you didn't." I said and Choco sat on the chair opposite to me. "I…I know that it's not my business but who is this Haru?" Choco asked. "She's my first human client and well…I think I like her." I said a little dreamy.
I could feel Chocos eyes on me and when I looked at her she blushed. "I-I think I leave you alone. Good night Baron Humbert von Gikkingen." Choco said and I was little surprised that she used my whole name. "Good night Choco." I said. Her eyes reminded me about Haru. "Maybe I should go to sleep as well." I said and got up from the chair.
"Baron!" someone whispered. "Hm? Oh Muta, what is it?" "You need to know one thing." Muta said. "What is it ?" I asked. "You know if Haru is here she would be cat." Muta said and then it hit me. "Of course! Why didn't I think about it sooner." I said. "Because you were too focused on Louise." Muta said and I glared at him. "What? Are you telling me that you like Haru?" Muta asked and I sighed. "Do you think that you would be able to understand Baron when you haven't never fallen in love." Toto said. "Shut up bird brain." Muta said. "Could you two stop. I really can't stand it." I said and started to walk to my room.

"…aron…on…BARON!" "What is it Yuki?" I asked from the worried cat. "I need to tell you something before everyone wakes up." the white cat told. "Tell me." I said. "Please forgive me for not telling you sooner?" Yuki said. "What?" I asked. I was growing impatient because I knew it was something important. "Haru is alive and she is here. In the palace." Yuki told me quickly. I couldn't believe my ears. Haru was here…in the palace… "But how, and why hasn't she come to me?" I asked. "Actually she's trying to get you and Louise together." Yuki said her voice little sad. "How can that be? Louise doesn't' know Haru." I said. "Apparently they met here and if I know the truth Haru gave some of her soul to Louise. Although I don't know why because…Haru herself is deeply in love with you Baron." Yuki said.
"Tell me where Haru is. I need to talk to her." I pleaded. "I'm sorry but I can't tell you. I have already said enough. But if you wish to tell her something, write her a letter and leave it to the library." Yuki said and left the room. Maybe I should write her a letter. I smiled a little at the thought. But I was glad that she was alive. Just when I was about to sit on to the chair someone knocked. "The door is open." I said and sat on the chair. "Good morning Baron." Louise said. " Good morning to you too Louise." I said. "Baron I need to tell you something. " Louise said and I looked at her. "I already know about that you and Haru met here in the cat kingdom and here in the castle." I said and Louise looked at me surprised. "But how and there is more than just that." Louise told and that got my attention.

A brown car was walking towards the library. She wasn't angry at Yuki for telling Baron actually she was very pleased. "You seem to be very happy." "Oh Baron, I didn't notice you." Choco said. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Baron said and smiled to the brown cat. "It's okay Baron. You don't need to worry about me." Choco said smiling. Baron couldn't help but chuckle at the brown cats behavior. "Um…What's so funny?" she asked. "Nothing you just… remind me of Haru."Baron told to the brown cat. "Wh-why are you thinking about her when you already have a fiancé?" Choco asked. "I think that I…love Haru." Baron said. "Wh-what?" The brown cat couldn't believe it. He…he loves her "Is everything okay?" Baron asked concerned. "No! Nothings okay anymore! Why can't you just love Louise?" The brown cat shouted and left.
Baron looked at the brown cat and sighed. Sometimes he just couldn't handle these kind of situations. But why Choco was so hysterical, it wasn't like he was talking about her. 'But she does sound just like Haru!' Baron thought and started to think of a plan to lure Haru out. The girl could be such a mystery but that was all right. Because…Baron likes to solve them.
And it's probably going to take a while until I can update again. DX
