Chapter eight: Kittens and a Friend in Danger
After the delicious lunch Lune stood up and gestured to Kuwa. "Miss Kuwa, would you be so kind as to come with me and Yuki? There are some people we would like you to meet."
Kuwa looked a little nervous and was about to refuse when Toto put a wing on her shoulder. She looked up to him as he gave her a smile. "Don't worry, remember I and the others will be around and we won't let anything happen to you." Kuwa smiled a little and nodded before getting up to follow the king and his wife.
They were half way to the door when Lune realized that Yuki wasn't with them. Turning around he saw her still standing by her seat with a coy smile on her face. Puzzled he went back to his wife. "Yuki is something wrong?"
She smiled wider as she looked to her husband. "Lune dear, you're forgetting someone, or did you forget that Haru has yet to meet them." At her words Lune's eyes widened as he turned quickly towards Haru.
"My mind must have taken a vacation without notifying me. Haru," he called running up to the girl who was just about to leave with Baron and the others. Catching up to them Lune put a paw on said girls shoulder and gave her a smile. "Haru, would like to accompany us. I'm sure you would love to meet who we are about to go see."
Haru looked towards Baron who smiled at her before gesturing her to go. "If he's taking you to see who I think he is you'll enjoy that far more than seeing us wipe some cats into shape." Haru looked at him dubiously but surged and turned back to Lune. "I would love to go with you guys as long as it's not dealing with politicians." She said gaining a laugh from Lune as he led her back to his wife and Kuwa. Getting back he led all three women down the halls and as they did Haru and Yuki chatted about everything and anything. He smiled as he saw how happy his wife was to spend time with Haru, despite her worries about the girl being there.
Lune then shifted his attention to the one female not chatting up a storm and leaning on his arm. He worried about how quiet she was but couldn't blame her after all that happened to her. Perhaps who they were going to see would help her a bit, they always seemed to know what to do for him and Yuki but that could be him just being bias. He smiled slightly as her turned his gaze to his wife.
She had been the light of his life since they met and was still to some degree but she had to share the spotlight now though she didn't complain at all and agreed with him that it was impossible for her to keep it all to herself anymore and even told him she would have been disappointed in him if it wasn't the case. Smiling a bit more as he watched his wife stop Haru and make her cover her eyes he did the same to Kuwa and lead them threw a curtain.
The two girls were confused but didn't complain and followed them into the quiet room. It didn't stay quiet for long as the other light of his life spotted them and tackled him while also chattering to their mother about how their day went. Needless to say Haru didn't keep her eyes closed much longer and gave a cry of excitement and congratulations to the couple before scolding them on keeping such cut kittens from her.
There were three kittens in all the oldest being a light blue gray cat with his fathers eyes. Also half of his tail was white with a dark grey mask covering his eyes that showed a mature intelligents. The second one was a black, white and grey spotted boy with Yuki's warm blue eyes that had the glint of mischief in them. The last being a little girl, was as white as her mother with warm green eyes that had to have come from her father but looked completely stubborn.
Yuki laughed as Lune escaped his children and lead a shocked Kuwa to a chair. Yuki finally got Haru to quiet down and sat next to Kuwa. "Kids" Lune addressed them. " there are some people we would like you to meet and vice versa." He smiled as he looked to his wife. She smiled back and took up where he left off. "This is Haru we told you about and that there is your aunt Kuwa." The kittens became excited once again asking all sorts of questions like did Haru really run in front of a truck and how come they never heard of an aunt before. After a quick explanation that Kuwa was their fathers long lost sister and that they could harass Haru later they got back to the introductions.
Lune placed a paw on the eldest boy and started the introductions from there. "This here is Masuku named for the markings on his eyes. He is very responsible for his age and has just started being taught by his tutors." The young kitten came forward and bowed before stepping back to his father's side so his siblings could be introduced. "The one jumping up and down is the middle kitten and is named Torikku for the fact that he is a little mischief maker even at his age." He bounded up doing a hasty bow before them before looking at Kuwa excitedly and asked. "Are you pregnant and if so does that mean we're going to have a cousin? Is it a girl or boy do you know? Are you going to stick around? It would be so much more fun around here if you do. Do you_?" He stopped short as his brother went up behind him and covered his mouth with a paw. Lune and Yuki looked relived and Yuki spoke up. "We will answer those questions later in private now let us introduce your sister." The little kitten in question looked out from behind her mother and curtsied. Yuki put a paw on her daughters head and smiled at the girl. "This little one is named for the person whose fault she is here. Her name is Haruhi." The cat finished with an evil glance at Haru.
Haru gaped at her old friends and the girl next to her giggled. "You should have seen this coming after you saved those to Haru. I wouldn't be surprised if your name because a popular one here for a while." Kuwa stated having hear the stories that morning as the reigning monarchs grinned a little guiltily. "Actually we can name at least three other young girls who have been named after you Haru and each other you have saved at least one of their parents." Lune informed her.
Haru stared at her friends with a look of disbelief. "But that doesn't warrant them naming their children after me. I was just in the right place at the right time and anyone would have done what I did."
Lune nearly choked on his laughter at that. "Haru I don't know anyone but you who would run in front of a speeding truck to save a cat." Haru blushed hard at that before jumping up and chasing Lune around with a throw pillow as everyone including the kittens laughed. Kuwa thought this wouldn't be bad at all.

Back in the human world in a dark room a tall red head looked dejected as she hung limply against the wall. Her arms hung above her head as she spat out some blood on the floor from her split lip. Ann struggled to try and break the chain holding her up, but it was no use. She was too weak after the beat down she received earlier.
She could just kick herself for letting someone get the jump on her earlier. But she couldn't focus on that right now, she had to save up her strength if she wanted to get out of here. Just then she heard voices coming closer so she let herself go completely limp and feign unconsciousness.
"Are you sure she's the reason Haru disappeared?" A Female voice asks as she and her companion walk into the room.
A familiar male voice chuckles as he picks something up that sounds like a metal chain or something. "Believe me Hiromi she helped in the kidnapping of Haru. Why ever since she came into Haru's life we have hardly seen her. Now lets wake up our guest shall we."
With that he struck Ann with the item in his hand letting her know it was a whip. Looking at her captors she really wished she knew where Haru disappeared to all of a sudden. She could really use some help right about now.
She was hit again after barely responding to the first hit. Refusing to give them the satisfaction of crying out they continued to whip her until she passed out from the pain.
All right that's it for this chapter. I know its short but I wanted to update and haven't had the time or mood to type in a while. The last year has not been nice to me but I hope to now get things coming out at a steadier pace. No once every year and a half thing going on. I also didn't like this chapter that much but I need to post something soon or my guilt was going to gnaw at me to insanity.
Well I hope you liked it. Please read and review.
