The next day, it happened again. After school, there was a fight. It was still at Kazuma's dojo, and it was still with Kyo and Akako, but two players were added to the game. Haru and Haro Hanajin. Of course it was Black Haru fighting, nobody could fight that dirty.

One thing that stuck out about Haro (other than his name was so similar to Haru's) was he was big! Not obese big, but muscular big. Most of the audience there were girls. Can't say I don't know why...

What I noticed with Haru and Haro's fight was that, Haru fought more with his wits, than his strength. Haro was more physical. I couldn't say which was more bad-mouth though.

"You d*** Hanajin! Why don't you go back to the s*** you came from!" yelled Haru. He was looking very black today.

"Shut your d*** mouth you son of a b****! Nobody loves you! Not even that piece of s*** that you call a girlfriend!" retaliated Haro.

At this point, Rin, (who was there) stepped into the ring, and jumped on Haro's back, and started to punch and kick him. It took several people (strong people, mind you) to get her off. You could see blood dripping off a scratch on his cheek.

I focused my attention back to Kyo and Akako's fight. It was so weird. They were like mirror images of each other. How they looked, how they moved, how they talked, how they attacked. I was sure of it, they were twins, separated at birth. I was so into the fight before I felt Yuki shook my arm.

"Haro, he... he's won!"

I whirled around to see Haro showing off his muscles to the girls. I could see Haru in a corner, blood dripping down his face. He was very pale. Haro stomped over to him.

"Who's the boss!" he yelled. "You want some of this!"

Haru feebly stood up.

"I don't care who you are, you are a b****."

You could see the color rise to Haro's face.

"I am going to kill you!" Haro raised his arm.

"No!" I screamed. I hurried over to Haru's side. Haro looked kind of confused.

"Haro! You should be ashamed! Stop it right now!"

Gohachiro walked over to us. Haro glared daggers.

"Go away! No one wants an outsider like you!"

So he's a Hanajin. An outsider, just like Kyo... I thought.

Gohachiro just stood there. He was as still as a statue. Everybody stared at them, wondering what was going to happen next. The tension... You could taste it.

SLAP!

Gohachiro slapped Haro across the face. Haro had a surprised look on his face and stepped back. Gohachiro threw a kick at him, nailing him into the ground. He dusted his hands and stood above him.

"If I was an outsider, how would I have known about how to do that?"

He looked at Akako, "I know you're weak spots too. I know all the Hanajins' weak spots. You may cast me out, but I can still come back in. I know all! So don't do anything stupid."

Gohachiro turned on his foot and pushed through the people, exiting the dojo. Akako rushed to Haro's side, and knelt beside him. Haro put a hand to his hand. "Man, I hate that kid."

I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Yuki's. "Let's go," he whispered into my ear. I looked back at Haru and saw that Rin was taking care of him. I then turned to Yuki and nodded.

As we walked, Yuki started to talk, "I hate those Hanajins. They think they're better than everyone else, so they have to prove it to everyone. They're so sick!"

As I thought about the Hanajins, and the Sohmas, I saw that they were total opposites, but they were also so similar. I thought about Yuki and Fuyu; Haru and Haro; Kyo and Akako. Though they said that they were different, they were actually pretty alike. In looks, behavior, everything. It was kind of funny!

As we walked through the trees, the wind started to blow. It was a warm breeze. When I looked around me, I thought of how beautiful the world we lived in was. I smiled. When the wind died down, I heard a twig snap. I looked behind me. There was nothing there.

Ryouichi sighed. Tohru hadn't seen him. That was a close one. He peeked through the tree branches and saw Yuki and Tohru disappear from sight.

"Ah, still looking at Tohru, Ryouichi. How come? Two days is too long to go without seeing her?"

Ryouichi looked behind him and saw Gohachiro under the tree. He jumped down.

"Gohachiro, what are you doing here?"

Gohachiro smiled. "I've come with a little request, for your brother."

Ryouichi hesitated. "What is it?"

"First I'll have to talk with your brother," said Gohachiro, a sly smile on his face.

Ryouichi grimaced. "Are you sure you want to do that?"

He nodded.

Ryouichi sighed. "Very well then." He breathed deeply and closed his eyes. After a few moments, he opened his eyes. His yellow eye was all ablaze.

"What do you want outsider?!" hissed Ryouichi.

"I want you to get something for me..."
