A blue blur raced towards Ninamori’s house, traveling at speeds that seemed to defy physics. The female that was riding this blue blur was well known for breaking many rules and physics was one of them. Haruko was the poster child for the rebellious woman, both independent and self-interested, Haruko cared for only three people, her, herself and she. At least that was the way it used to be, she’d let a few guys get under her skin before, but never like this. Somehow, a fourth person was worming their way into her heart and she was confused about it. She just couldn’t figure what it was about Naota that made her care about that humorless junior high student. Until she figured it out, she was going to keep him under close watch.

“Oh Naota, how could you leave your poor mother alone,” Haruko said with crocodile tears streaming down her cheeks. The tears blinded her and she wiped them away just in time to see a couple of pedestrians standing in the middle of the road. Swerving to miss then, Haruko returned her focus to the road and towards the house where her faux son was staying.

“When I get you Naota, you’ll wish I never cut the umbilical cord,” she screamed, and then broke into crazed laughter. Her link to Naota had been temporarily blocked, her mind was racing with idea’s and she needed to make sure Naota didn’t happen to glimpse any of them. The link they shared went both ways, she could see into his head and he could see into hers. She hadn’t told him because the last thing she wanted was for him to get even a peak at what went through her mind. Haruko liked her privacy and didn’t like anyone invading her mind. Only she was allowed to invade the minds of other people. Her race through the city ended when she came up to a big mansion at the end of town. She looked over the huge house, as she parked her vespa.

“Well, at least he had the decency to hook up with someone with a little moolah,” Haruko said to herself thoughtfully. If Naota had abandoned her to stay with his new rich girlfriend, then maybe they could come to an agreement. Like she gives the girl visiting rights and she gets to live in the huge house and look after their money. Haruko had no need for money, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want it. Looking around the house, she spotted a large bush facing an open window where light was pouring out.

“Ah the bush, Gods creation for crazed stalkers and paparazzi.” Leaping behind the shrub, Haruko peaked into the window to see if her Tak-kun was inside. Straight away, she spotted her prey, sitting on a couch with another girl, facing away from where she was lying. She had expected to find him rounding second base with the other girl, but was disappointed to see they were only chatting. If he was going to abandon her, he should have least been getting a little action. She continued to watch them for another minute, but quickly her patience was waning. Final she decided to liven things up in there by using her link with Naota.
