Here's Another Story about Haru and Baron. It's mostly fluff, just to warn you.

The bell rang, and Haru jumped up from her seat. She said bye to Hiromi and ran out the front door.

"Haru! Can I ask you something?" It was Machida. Haru stopped and waited for him to catch up.

"Yes?" she said. He was making her late.

"Well, I was wondering if you would go out with me?" he asked nervously.

"Sorry, but no," she replied.

"Why? Everybody said you had a crush on me," he said, confused.

"Exactly, USED to as in not anymore, in the past. Now I'm sorry, I have to go."

Machida leapt forward and grabbed her hand. "Please?" he pleaded.

"No," Haru said firmly taking her hand away from his. She turned and left.

"But…." Machida said. But she was gone.

Haru ran to the crossroads, already late. Almost everyday after school, Haru would go visit Baron, Toto, and Muta. Since she had no sense of direction, being born in the year of the ox, Muta would meet her there and lead her to the Refuge.

Muta was laying in his usual chair. "What took so long Chicky?"

"Machida. He asked me out. Don't worry, I said no," she said looking at his face. "He seemed really clingy."

"What ever," Muta said, making sound like it wasn't a big deal, even though by his expression you could tell it was. "Lets get going." Haru nodded agreement and followed him down one of the alleyways. Machida checked to make sure they didn't know he was there, then followed.
