Haru starred at that window that night, looking at the moon, and sighed. She was eighteen now and she had been thinking a lot about the Baron, and Prince Lune, and Yuki, and Toto, and of course Muta-her favorite fat cat. She had been asked out by her old crush three times now, but she turned him down each time. She wanted to see Baron. She thought of her mother, she thought of everyone she would leave behind:IF: she left.
She felt tears spring to her eyes and sighed.
"I can't take it...I have to see him."
She had to see The Baron.
She quickly went through her closet and put on a yellow and red checkered shirt, and a yellow skirt, with lace at the bottom. Starring at herself she winced at her short hair. She hoped he liked it. Pulling out a piece of paper, she wrote, "Mother, I love you-I promise you will see me, a different me, in a year. But there is something I must do, please don't hate me, and please don't be frightened when you see me again Haru." Opening her window, she began to crawl out of it. This was not the first time she'd done this. Since she returned home she would retreat and go back home. But, this time she couldn't she had to go, she loved him.
She loved The Baron.
Dropping to the ground she began to run, trying to remember how to get there. 'Please wait for me Baron...I love you.'
Unknown to Haru, The Baron was thinking of Haru to. He sat on his couch Toto, and Muta sitting across from him, eating some cake. The now King Lune, and Queen Yuki, were visiting. They had left their two children at home, they were twins. They were both white, but the tips of their tails had black. Their eyes where that of their father's, green and red. One was a girl, and one was a boy. They looked at Baron who didn't seem to be paying much attention. He sat with his legs crossed, and with the miserable look on his face.
As of late, he could not get her out of his head.
When Haru told him she had a crush on him he thought it was silly, but days later he realized he could not get her out of his head. He often wondered how she was, and sometimes sent Muta to look at her, and tell him how she was doing. He just couldn't do it himself. "Baron, Baron!" Lune called to him, and the orange cat shook his head, "Oh I am dreadfully sorry, you were saying." King Lune sighed, looking at his now good friend. "I was saying why don't you come with us. Our children are having a birthday soon, and we would like you to come to their party." Baron softly smiled, and walked to the table lifting up two presents, it just so happens I have a present for them."
He let Queen Yuki, and King Lune look at it, and both smiled. The book was called, "The Story Of Haru." Yuki smiled, "I can see why you did this, the children love her story." She opened it up, and both Lune, and Yuki gasped, the drawings were lovely. "Did you draw this?" Muta suddenly looked up, looking uncomfortable. "No," The Baron chuckled, "Muta did." Lune and Yuki looked at him, "Oh they are so good!" Muta mumbled and shoved more cake in his mouth. "You miss her too don't you Muta." Muta turned red, "No I don't, she was always calling me Fatso! She is a disrespectful girl!"
Baron sighed, "Lets go, I think it would be nice.
The four, King Lune, Queen Yuki, Muta, and The Baron stepped outside, and opened the portal to leave. As they all entered inside they just missed Haru running forward. "Oh no!" Running faster she dived in the portal, and followed through the rest. Then she felt the sharp pain as she crashed into the hard familiar ground. For an hour she laid their, dead to the world. By the time she woke up, she was already back into a cat. She looked around, smiling her cat ears twitching. In the distance she could see the castle. "Baron...Baron I just know your there. Your there." Running forward, she knew she had to make it to the castle, she had to see him.

Baron smiled at the children, as they begged to have their present early. Queen Yuki scolded them, "Now, now, tomorrow your birthday will come, then you can have them." Baron chuckled as the soon the be five year olds groaned. "No, it's quite all right, here." Both children gave a loud cheer, and when they saw the book they cried out for joy. "THANK YOU UNCLE BARON, THANK YOU!" The children ran to Muta, and asked them to read it. He sighed sitting down and opened the book, and cleared his throat.
"Once upon a time there was a young beautiful girl, with a good heart. She was miserable the day she did a very good deed. She had saved the prince, Prince Lune, of the kingdom we lived in. She, herself had almost gotten killed in this act. Now a not so wise king, the father of Prince Lune, had tried to repay her, and to her surprise, and horror, had decided that she should marry his eldest son against her will..."
Baron made a small sound, and walked over to the window, not wanting to hear any more. The memories of her, was just too miserable for him. King Lune smiled at one of his dear friends, and approached him, "Baron...why do you not go to her?" Baron sighed, and with sad eyes looked at the King. "I can not...She is human, and I am a cat. To be with me she would have to give up so much, I can not, and will not ask her to do so." He sighed, "No matter I love her..." Lune reached out, and grabbed The Baron, hugging the surprised taller cat. "I am so sorry...you love her so much, that you would do this to yourself. I only hope my love can be as strong as yours, that my feelings are just enough for Yuki." Baron chuckled pulling away, holding him by his elbows. "Of course your love is strong enough...of course they are."
Baron released him, and looked back outside the window, when he heard a familiar voice. "BARON! BARON!" Turning he saw Yuki running down the hall, looking for him. "Haru..." He gasped, and rushed to the doors. He reached them just in time to see her rush down the hall, and turn left into another. "HARU!" He ran as fast as he could, and when he turned to corner, he saw she had stopped, starring at him. Tears where in her eyes, a faint blush decorating her cheeks. She smiled, "Baron...BARON!" She ran to him, and he ran to her meeting her half way there. He caught her around her thin waist and spun her around before embracing her. He set her down on the floor bending slightly over to hug her. "Haru..."
He could hear her softly sobbing in his ear, and he starred at her, "My Haru...my dear Haru." He pulled her away, and looked at he wet face. "I wanted...I had to come...even if you are with someone else, I have to tell you I-" She was cut off as he placed a hand under her chin, and pressed his lips gently to hers. Her arms wrapped around her neck, as his wrapped around her waist. "Ah-EM!"
The two broke reluctantly away seeing Yuki smiling, her paw to her face, and King Lune grinning, his tail swishing. Muta was smiling, the twins under their arms, the children crying, "It's the Haru lady! The Haru lady!" Haru blushed, and felt a paw brush against her cheek, and looking up she saw that the Baron was looking at her. "I could not forget you...but I could not bring yourself to see you...I did not want you to give up your life for me...Not for me." Haru pressed her head to his chest, and began crying once more. "I don't care, I want my life to be with you!" Baron kissed the top of her head, and whispered in her ear, "Marry me?" She laughed wiping her tears, that despite her efforts would not stop. "Yes, oh yes!"
Looking into her eyes, again the two slowly drew together, for another kiss, knowing many more would follow.
