Haruka looked at the sword in her chest up and down. "B-bitch..." Haruka muttered.

Ragyō cackled. "Oh I'm so sorry Haruka my dear! Let me help you with that!" Ragyō screamed like a maniac as she started moving the sword around.

"Ahhhhh!" Haruka's limbs were frozen so she couldn't move. Suddenly, to her surprise, life fibers flew out of her body and shocked her.

"What in the-" Ragyō couldn't finish.

After the shock disappeared, Haruka flung backwards against the wall as her chest healed."Nice try," Haruka hissed as red sparks flew off of her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ragyō spat.

"None of your damn buisness!" Haruka yelled as she grabbed her scissor blade and swung it.

Ragyō guarded with her sword. "Nice try. But when are you going to give up?"

"Until you die you bitch!" Haruka yelled as she continued swinging.

Ragyō dodged once again. "You're just like your mother. Stubborn."

"Good. Because that's what I was going for!" Haruka shouted as she went face to face with her grandmother.

Ragyō smirked. During Haruka's swings, she had been planting life fiber threads into Haruka's body. And with one pull of a thread, Haruka was frozen with her arms spread wide. "Gotcha..."

Haruka tried to struggle. "No! Let me go! You can't do this to me!" Her eyes were ablaze.

"It's time to take this scruffy kamui off you, " Ragyō said as Yashin got flung off of Haruka and into her hands.

"W-what the hell are you doing?!" Haruka's face was red.

Ragyō looked straight at Yashin.

"Haruka! Help! Only you can hear me! Get me outta her mitts!" Yashin yelled.

"Damn it! Do you think I'm trying bitch?!" Haruka stared at Yashin's eye.

"Arrgh!" Yashin groaned.

Ragyō threw Yashin aside as she cut Haruka's threads and dragged her away.

"What did I get myself into?" Haruka thought.

"How many times is this gonna happen?!" Ryūko screeched.

"Only time can tell that," Satsuki responded as they ran through the halls in search for Haruka.

"Errr I found her," Ryūko said as she stopped behind a wall.

"Ok we gotta go get Haruka," Satsuki replied.

"But Ragyō is with her," Ryūko muttered.

Satsuki face changed from emotionless to agitated. "Are you seriously complaining that our mother is with your daughter and you're too lazy to go save her?!"

Ryūko backed into the wall. "N-no that's n-not the reason...I'm...I'm just way more tired than usual..."

Satsuki heard Ragyō's footsteps then covered Ryūko's mouth. "We'll finish this later ok?"

Ryūko nodded her head then shoved Satsuki's hand aside.

"Did Satsuki find out?" Senketsu asked.

"Probably," Ryūko whispered.

"Did Satsuki find out what?" Ragyō asked as her head poked through the wall.

Ryūko froze. "N-nothing..."

"Quit the act Ragyō. Give us back Haruka," Satsuki commanded.

"Mommy! Auntie! She stripped me! Help!" Haruka screamed and struggled as Ragyō held her by her wrist.

"Don't worry Haru. We'll save you," Ryūko insisted as she ripped out her scissor blade.

"Yeah what your mother said," Satsuki spoke as she held her katana.

Ragyō cackled. "Haha foolish children of mine. If you want Haruka back...come and catch me!" And with the statement hanging loosely in the air, Ragyō flew right up the exit of the bunker.

"Yashin! Mommy! Auntie!" Haruka yelled.

Yashin looked up. "Haruka? Haruka! Haruka where are you?! I can hear your voice slightly!" Yashin stoped to hop towards the bunker exit but stopped when he saw Ryūko and Satsuki. "Oh thank goodness you guys are here! Haruka called for us but I don't know where she went."

Ryūko and Satsuki looked at each other with confused looks.

Yashin's eye drooped. "Oh yeah you guys can't hear me..."

"I think he's trying to tell us that he and us need to go to Haruka," Ryūko spoke.

"Yes that's what I'm saying!" Yashin exclaimed.

"In that case we should go," Satsuki responded.

Ryūko nodded her head then jumped out of the bunker with Yashin and Satsuki up ahead.

"Let me go bitch! You're making a big mistake by messing with my mom and aunt!" Haruka yelled.

Ragyō held Haruka against a tree by her neck. "Listen up little Haruka. There's nothing you and your family can do to stop me from my plans. Killing your brother was just the beginning. After this, my team and I will target your whole family. No matter who they are. Alright?" Ragyō hissed as her grip on Haruka's neck got tighter.

Haruka didn't try to struggle. All she could do was stare Ragyō straight in her eyes.

"Can't breathe darling?" Ragyō spat.

Haruka stayed silent, feeling her lungs burn.

"Ok since you won't talk, I'll allow you to stay with your brother!" Ragyō shouted as she dropped Haruka and stepped on her.

Haruka spat out blood. "Go ahead...if that's what you want then do it."

"Excellent!" Ragyō stepped on Haruka multiples times. "Time for you to die!"

"Not today!" Ryūko shouted as she sliced her scissor blade at Ragyō.

Ragyō dodged then stepped away from Haruka. "Deary me. I guess someone hasn't learned their lesson."

"Like hell I haven't! You haven't taught me anything!" Ryūko screamed.

Satsuki quietly and quickly ran over to Haruka and handed her Yashin. "Haruka here."

Yashin slipped himself onto Haruka. "Haruka? Haruka you awake? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Just let me be," Haruka responded weakly.

"You poor thing..." Satsuki said quietly as she picked up Haruka.

Ryūko looked back quickly. "This isn't over!" Ryūko then ran straight towards her house with Satsuki close behind.

"Cowards," Ragyō muttered.

Ryūko ran through the front door then collapsed on the couch panting. "Senketsu..."

"Oh sorry," Senketsu responded as he transformed back into a human.

Kano snapped from her trance then walked downstairs. "Oh you're back."

Junketsu transformed back in a human then sat on the floor. "Yes we are."

Satsuki placed Haruka next to her mother then sat opposite of them. "Did Ragyō hurt you badly Haruka? Did she tell you anything?" Satsuki asked after a few minutes.

Haruka coughed. "She did hurt me but your meaning of badly and my meaning of badly are different so I don't know if she hurt me badly. And she told me that she was targeting our whole family..." Haruka trailed off.

"I see..." Satsuki responded as she thought.

Kano handed Ryūko and Satsuki some clothes. "I know what mother is going to say next."

"Not to sound rude and all, but Haruka could you go to your room?" Satsuki said as she put on her clothes.

"Ok. I was planning on going to my room anyways," Haruka responded as she trudged to her room with Kano right behind her. Haruka then closed the door.

"Ryūko you know what I'm going to ask right?" Satsuki spoke.

"Yeah yeah you wanted to continue that talk we started at the bunker..." Ryūko muttered as she rubbed her head.

"Uh huh...now, tell me why you've been more tired lately," Satsuki said.

"Damn it she's onto me..." Ryūko thought. "Well uhh..."

"Uh oh..." Senketsu thought as he scratched his head.

"You planning on having another kid?" Satsuki finally asked.

Junketsu looked up but said nothing.

"Maybe, maybe not..." Ryūko responded as she grabbed a pillow and squeezed it against her stomach area with her face turning red. "But you can't tell the kids..."

"Fine with me..." Satsuki spoke. "See that wasn't so hard now was it?"

"It was very hard thank you very much," Ryūko murmured as she laid down staring at the ceiling.

"So Mom's having another kid eh?" Haruka muttered as she moved her head away from the door.

"You can hear them from here?" Kano asked.

"Uh huh. It's just been a special ability of mine," Haruka replied as she sat on her bed and covered her face.

"Are you upset about having another sibling?" Kano asked.

"Yes...and no," Haruka answered.

"What do you mean by that?" Kano sat next to Haruka.

"I don't know. In a way, it feels like they are replacing Daisuke..." Haruka saw Daisuke's body on his bed then turned away trying not to cry.
