CHAPTER 1

Tohru walked home alone. Kyo decided to go to the dojo and Yuki had important president things to do. It wasn't the first time she had walked home alone, but today Tohru felt a bit lonely.

She was halfway to the house, when she heard a familiar voice.

"Tohru!" Momiji called out as he ran towards her with his huge grin on his face.

"Hello, Momiji," Tohru smiled.

"Do you have to work today?"

"Oh, yes."

Momiji's smile grew larger. "Great! I'll see you there!"

"Just don't bother Tohru while she's working, Momiji. You don't want her to lose her job," Hatsuharu finally caught up with Momiji.

Momiji frowned. "I wouldn't make her lose her job!"

Tohru frowned. She didn't like seeing Momiji sad, he was too cute. She didn't know how to make him feel better, though. So she did the only thing she could think of.

"Of course you wouldn't, Momiji. Haru, you shouldn't say such things to Momiji..." Tohru felt strange about talking that way to Hatsuharu. She wasn't used to not speaking in a formal manner.

Hatsuharu raised a brow at her, but ignored what she had said. "Hi, Tohru."

"Oh! Hello! I'm so sorry for what I said!" Tohru begun to freak out.

"Tohruuuuu. It's fine, Haru is just being honest and so were you."

Tohru begun to smile a bit. "You're right..."

"Are you walking home alone?" Haru asked.

"Y-yes..." Tohru stuttered.

Momiji frowned again. "You can't walk home alone! Haru, you should walk with her!"

"No! No! You don't have to if you don't want to!" Tohru begun to freak out again.

Hatsuharu laughed loudly and began to walk towards where Tohru lived with the others. Momiji waved bye and then went on his way, looking adorble in the girl's uniform he wore. Sure, it got him a lot of attention, but he still looked cute in it. Tohru walked beside Haru. They didn't talk the whole way. Tohru felt less lonely now. She wanted to say something, but couldn't think of anything. Luckily, Haru spoke first.

"So, how is it living with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure?"

"Oh, it's great! They make every day interesting!" Tohru smiled largely.

Haru thought she looked younger when she smiled. He couldn't help, but look at her all over. His black side was itching to make an appearance. He hadn't gone black in over a month, and it was beginning to become an extreme build up. He needed something to bring out his black side. The bad thing was, he knew he'd get the crap beat out of him if he tried anything with Tohru. Kyo, especially, would make him regret it all. Not that Hatsuharu wouldn't not think about it.

They finally made it to the house. Hatsuharu thought Tohru would say goodbye and he would leave, but she didn't.

"Would you like to come inside?" Tohru asked.

Haru nodded and they both made their way inside. They sat down next to each other. Haru couldn't help but notice how Tohru's skirt showed a lot of skin. He could already feel a hard on coming. He fought against it, but his black side was coming out.

"This is going to be something..." he muttered too quietly for Tohru to hear.
