Back when they arrived at the mansion, Albert told Haruka that Comtesse Carlotte had multiple phone calls from her admirers... all of them male!
And now Haruka had the pleasant job of calling every single one of them back.
After Haruka slammed down the phone in frustration after the sixteenth conversation, she screamed in rage: "Aaaaarrgghhh! Why can't she have one single girlfriend, huh? ONLY ONE FEMALE! THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR!"
She looked like she was ready to cry.
Naru didn't know if she should snicker or pity Haruka.
Albert entered the room and coughed. "Mademoiselle Gabrielle is here to speak with you. Your sister..."
Haruka grinned. "All right! Finally, after all those flops, something easy. I mean, how horrible can a small family meeting be? Let her in!"
Albert bowed and left. After some minutes, another blonde girl entered the room, slightly younger than Haruka / Carlotte. She wore a frilly dress and her hair was as long as Minako's.
Haruka smiled. "Dear sister," she greeted her in French. "What can I do for you?"
Gabrielle looked sternly at who she thought to be her sister. "Ah," she responded, also in French. "Finally, you're home for once!"
Usagi looked from Haruka to Gabrielle. She didn't understand what they were talking about, but she had an idea that the comtesse's younger sister was slightly angry.
"I just came," Gabrielle continued. "To show you how much I appreciate it that you once again stole my boyfriend from me... FOR THE SEVENTH TIME!"
And before Haruka could react, she saw Gabrielle's fist, approaching her right eye...
SMACK!
Gabrielle huffed and nodded. "I hope you're happy with yourself!" She raised her nose and stormed out of the room.
Haruka groaned and held her hands over her eye, which slowly started to change color.
"Haruka, are you all right?" Usagi asked.
"Yeowch..." Haruka muttered. "That hurt..." She snarled. "I swear it, the comtesse will pay for this."
----
Over the evening, Haruka's eye was swelling even more, even after cooling it with some ice. Totally exhausted after that stressful day, she decided to go to bed early.
She lay down in Carlotte's enormous bed and groaned. All the luxury wasn't a big comfort when she had to suffer like this...
Besides... she already started to miss Michiru...
She took a deep breath and closed her left eye (the right one was already swollen shut). She was that tired that she instantly fell asleep, so she didn't even notice how something next to her bed clicked, and a secret door opened.
A dark figure slowly tiptoed through the room, until it reached the bed where Haruka was lying. A hard club was resting in the person's hand.
Suddenly, Haruka woke up. "Who's there?"
She only saw the silhouette of a person clothed in black, then something hard whooshed through the air and hit her head.
Knocked out, Haruka fell down to the floor. The dark figure chuckled and grabbed her legs. Pulling the unconscious blonde after it, the person vanished back behind the secret door and closed it.
