Yo! This is just a short little story that came to me when I was sitting there listening to this song. I'd heard it a million times, but this was the first time that I heard it after reading Furuba, so… voila!

The song's called 'Monster', by Skillet. It's an awesome song and I recommend that you all hear it, it really suits Haru's situation.

Until the next chapter, enjoy!

^.^

The secret side of me,

I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me

The beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

Haru could never remember turning from black to white. When he sank into the black, he couldn't remember what he did, and who he hurt, or what he said. All he could remember was suddenly realizing where he was, much like a drunken person coming out of a stupor.

He raised his head, looking around himself. He was lying on a futon, in Yuki's room. He had no idea how he had gotten there, but he was sure it had something to do with one of his cousins. He sat up, head pounding, as the sliding door opened and three bodies entered the room.

He saw Tohru, looking at him with sadness. Kyo was standing with her, holding her hand as if to calm her, pure confusion in his eyes as he stared at the white-haired teen. And Yuki… Yuki was looking at him too, standing next to Tohru on the other side, a mixture of pity and greif in his violet eyes.

"Haru, you're awake, I'm glad, do you want anything to eat or drink? I can make something if you want me to." Tohru babbled, and Haru stood up, ignoring the girl.

Such a range of emotions in their eyes, yet Haru had no idea what he had done to upset them, or what had happened to make him turn black. Nor, he decided, do I care right now. He strode towards the door, passing the trio, who didn't try to stop him, out into the garden behind Shigure's house.

"Haru, wait!" Yuki called out behind him. Haru ignored him, and kept walking. Yuki sighed, then ran down the path and pulled on the back of his coat.

"What?" Haru asked impatiently, turning around to face the silver-haired boy.

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become

the nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

"It's just… do you remember what you did when you were Black?" Yuki asked him.

"No. I told you I can't remember what I-"

"So, you don't know that you decided to jump off of the roof of the school? And that you actually attempted it?" He asked.

"No, I- what? What do you mean, attempted?" Haru was shocked at the fact that he would try something so stupid. Well, when my black side takes over, there's no knowing what I'll do…

Yuki sighed. "Kyo and I knocked you out before you could. What I want to know is, why you wanted to do it in the first place?"

Haru growled. "I told you, I don't know! Do you think I'm stupid enough to want to kill myself?"

"No," Yuki stated simply, "but I think your black side wants control."

It's hiding in the dark

It's teeth are razor sharp

There's no escape for me

It wants my soul it wants my heart

"Haru! Yuki!" Another voice called out to them from the porch. Momiji was here.

"Haru, is it true? Did you jump off the school roof and Yuki caught you? A kid from our homegroup was telling me, I wondered why you didn't show up after lunch!" He literally bounced towards them, hugging Haru for all he was worth.

"No, Momiji, he didn't jump. Where were you at lunchtime, anyway?" Yuki asked the blond boy.

"I had to go see Ha'ri, because I forgot our science projects were due today and I left it at home. He brought it for me. But it took me a while to get hold of him… Akito is sick again. " He trailed off solemnly.

"Oh. So, Haru, are you staying for dinner? Tohru's making sukiyaki. Oh, and Momiji, you're welcome to stay too." Yuki offered. Haru shook his head.

"I need to go and see Rin, in case my black side tries to kill me again." With that, he walked off into the forest, leaving Momiji and Yuki.

"I'll stay! I love Tohru's cooking! Yay, Tohru!" Momiji cheered, and dashed off into the house to see Tohru. Yuki sighed, and followed.

No-one can hear me scream

Maybe it's just a dream

Maybe it's inside of me

Stop this monster

"Rin, I need to talk to you."

It was a week after the incident at their school. Haru had finally found his way to Kagura's house, and, luckily, Rin was home. Kagura had sent him upstairs, and he barged into her room unannounced.

"What- hey! You can't just barge in here! And where the hell have you been, Hatori's called twice a day for the last four days!" Rin exclaimed, as he slid onto her bed next to her. She put down her sketchbook and hugged to him, as he ignored her questions.

"I was looking for you. I needed to see you," He whispered in her ear.

"What's so urgent, that you go missing for a week trying to find me?" She whispered, rolling onto her side so she could run her hand through his soft, white-as-snow hair.

"I… well, I thought Yuki would've told you, but the other day at school…" He trailed off, staring into Rin's beautiful dark eyes.

She shook her head. "What? What happened?"

"Well, my dark side took over. I don't know why, but apparently when I was out of it..."

"What happened? Tell me, you're killing me here!" She traced her finger down the side of his face. He sighed.

"Apparently, I tried to throw myself off the roof of the building."

Her reaction was way out of proportion, in his opinion. She leapt up, as though burned, taking a few steps back in shock.

"WHAT?" She screamed as loudly as she could, he flinched. He knew it would be bad, but-

"YOU TRIED TO KILL YOURSELF?" She yelled, and he cowered as she threw a pair of shoes at him.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU WOULD'VE LEFT ME HERE! YOU- I can't BELIEVE this! What is WRONG with you?" Rin shouted, throwing a textbook from the floor at him.

"It's not my fault! It's my Black side, I can't control it!" He yelled back, and she paused as she was about to throw something else at him. Ironically, it was a plushie of a cow that Haru had bought her ages ago. Tears formed in her eyes and she wiped them away in one stroke, stubbornly.

"Come here," he said softly and she crawled across the bed and into his arms, where she began crying heavily.

"I came to see you," He said quietly, rocking her back and forth, "in case I didn't get another chance… I love you, Rin."

She sat still for a second, then said, he voice thick, 'If you leave me, I'll… I'll… I don't know what I'd do. You can't leave me." She said, wiping her eyes on his T-shirt.

"I won't leave you." He promised. "Not if I can help it."

She laughed bitterly. "What kind of promise is that?"

"The only one I can make under the circumstances."

The secret side I keep

Hid under lock and key

I keep it caged but I cant control it

Coz if I let him out

He'll tear me up, break me down

Why wont somebody come and save me from this

Make it end?

"I love you, Haru," she half-sighs as he lays her down from her upright position. He lays next to her, his arm around her waist, and his lips on the back of her neck, kissing her gently.

"And I, you, Rin."

"Will you stay with me?" She tried to turn her head to see him.

"Yeah. But I'd better call Hatori first, he's worried."

"Okay," she agreed, and Haru went to use the phone.

^.^

"Fine!" Haru slammed the receiver down on the hook.

"What's wrong?" Rin asked from behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, much like he had done before.

"He's coming to pick me up and he's taking me to Kazuma's. He's got Aya and Shigure over and thought I shouldn't have to deal with them. You wanna come with?" He asked, not looking at her.

"Okay," She shrugged, and, after packing a few clothes, the pair went to Kazuma's for the night.

A/N: Heyy. Well, that's the main part of the story, i'll continue it... maybe... *grins evilly* .

I'll just keep Haru, Rin, and everyone else locked in the cupboard for now. Don't worry, there's ventilation.

I think.

Rin: 'Let me out of here! Damn you to hell!'

Reicheru: 'Hmm, not until the next chapter. At least Haru's there to keep you company!'

Haru: 'Hey, Rin, she's right!'

*silence*

Reicheru: 'Ok... i don't want to know. But still, not bad for my first attempt at furuba fanfiction, so hopefully you guys liked it. Flames will be used for boiling the kettle to make my coffee. Constructive critism, please!'

Tohru: 'umm, Reicheru? There isn't enough room in here for me, Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, Rin, and Haru. Could you maybe let us out? Oh no! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have asked, I'm causing too much trouble!'

Kyo: 'Tohru, you're hopeless. Let us outta here, damn fan fiction writer! You could've at least given me a speaking part!'

Reicheru: 'There's always the next chapter!' *grins evilly again* 'Shut up or I'll add more characters.'

*silence*

Reicheru: Thankyou. Okay, so hit the little 'review this chapter' button. You know you wanna! Until the next chapter, bye!'
