Hello, Author here. I'd like to make a quick apology that actually nothing happens much in this chapter apart from Ruka and Hotaru's introduction. It's more or less a filler as I am attempting to write the next section. Thank you for your patience!
After the horrific scream from his Nanny encountering his older brother, Youichi decided that it was time to have breakfast, and descended the stairs to be welcomed into his mother's warm embrace.
'Mother, welcome home.' Youichi muttered into her hair.
'I am so sorry about Rei, Shiki told me everything.' Kaoru muttered as she stroked Youichi's hair. The two walked into dining room, where a large breakfast was prepared.
'I did not expect to see so much food!' Kaoru gasped as she helped Youichi into his chair. Anna glanced into the white archway.
'Well you see, Hotaru and Ruka is going to be here soon.' Anna stated, as she placed a massive plate of soft shell crabs onto the table. 'You know how Hotaru loves her crabs.'
Youichi ladled on his plate, the mini buffet presented in front him. He sat himself comfortably whilst munching the toast, he could hear a manly war cry from where he was sitting and decided to see what the commotion was about.
Turning to his side, he stared at the blonde haired boy, red in the face as he chased the raven haired girl, a camera clutched in her pale hands.
'IMAI-SAN! PLEASE, STOP IT THIS INSTANT.' The boy cried, desperate to stop the camera flashing vigorously.
'I did not get the chance to take photos this summer. My clients will not be pleased, if I go back to school, empty-handed.' Imai monotonously replied, a gleam flashed by her eyes.
Youichi got up from his warm seat and decided that his older brother would prefer to have his best friend intact, so he opened the glass double doors that leads to the gazebo. Then he noticed that the girl stopped chasing and made the perfect U-turn on her duck floatation device towards the dining room.
'I smell crabs.' The girl noticed the delicate red crustaceans resting on the silver platter. She grab is massive claw and daintily picked it up. Then sank her teeth through the soft shell, into its juicy meat.
'Ah Hotaru, Anna prepared it especially for you.' Kaoru said, watching in fascination as the girl almost consumed the rest of the crabs. Until a large hand grabbed the crab and attempted to sneak it out.
'Ruka, drop the crab.' She glared at the boy who dare assault her food.
'Only if I get those pictures back.' Ruka confidently said.
'You owe me.' The girl let out a feral growl, as if the crab was her cub and she was the lioness.
'No, Imai.' Ruka said, holding up the crab. The much smaller girl leaped into the hair and sank her teeth into his hand, the crab was released and she effortlessly consumed it, in midair.
'Do not test me Ruka, you now owe me another couple hundred Rabbits.' Hotaru stated as she wiped out her camera again.
Kaoru's eyebrows knitted, 'Rabbits?'
'Yes Mrs. Hyuuga, Imai said that she would sell my rabbits. You know the how high bred my rabbit is, she is worth at least 50,000 Yen.' Ruka explained, as he decided he was going to have breakfast and loaded his plate with toast and baked beans, littering on a tad bit of cheese. 'For every rabbit, I owe, it will be worth 50,000 Yen.' Ruka continued to explain to the older woman.
Hotaru droned out the boy as she began to make her way through the breakfast buffet. A girl popped through into the dining room. 'Hotaru!' the girl cried excitedly. 'I hope you've enjoyed breakfast,'
'Anna, thank you.' Hotaru mumbled between bites. After she finished her plate, she pulled out a thick card with the most beautiful gold calligraphy that wrote 'Invitation to Anna Umenomiya; You are invited to a Black Tie party at the Imai Mansion; You may invite guests, but please inform Hotaru Imai.' The black haired girl pulled out 2 other cards and gave them to Kaoru. 'One is for Narumi,' Hotaru informed Kaoru, as she took her leave with a simple goodbye.
Once Mrs. Hyuuga has finished her dinner, she suggested dinner to Anna and gave Shiki the time of when she will come home. She then decided to mention about Mikan. 'Where is that girl?' Kaoru angrily remarked.
Shiki bowed in an apologetic motion. 'I'm afraid that she was harassed by our young master Natsume.' Kaoru's brows rose significantly.
'Are you sure it was her being harassed?' Kaoru questioned.
'Well she screamed and fainted.' Shiki replied.
'Was there no scratch marks, or any attacks made on Natsume?'
'No ma'am,'
'That will be all,' and in similar fashion, Kaoru ushered her goodbyes to Youichi, as she left for work.
