01. She got her tattoo when Haru got his. She told the tattoo artist that she didn't care what it was - she was only there for support.

02. Since it was on her shoulderblade, she had no idea what the kanji said for years. Not until Hinata asked her why on earth she had wild horse on her back. Rin just said it was Haru's doing.

03. When Akito tore down the cat's prison, she collected the locks strewed on the floor and returned them to Rin. The ex-horse kept them in a plastic bag, deep in her closet.

04. Yes, she loved the jelly that Tohru made, and Haru's was pretty good, too. But her favorite was Kyo's, ever since he brought her some in the hospital, blushing to the roots of his orange hair and mumbling excuses.

05. For the longest time, she didn't want children. She was afraid that, deep down, she was just like her mother.

06. So it was unexpected when Hatori informed her of the child growing in her stomach. She'd never been more afraid - or more ecstatic.

07. Her only wish was that her baby would have Haru's eyes. Smiling and exhausted, the nurse handed Rin's baby boy over. He opened his big gray eyes blearily. If she wasn't so sore and tired, she might've cheered.

08. Black Haru both terrified and aroused her. She found it a little funny - she was in love with his White side, but her body wanted the controlling touch of the Black. Funny. Disturbing.

09. When Black Haru left bruises on her soft skin, she'd trace them absently when no one was looking.

10. He apologized every time, but the shame in his eyes told her he enjoyed it as much as she did.

11. She always dreamed she'd get married in black.

12. But she was glad Tohru talked her out of it, because despite what her body wanted, it was the white she fell in love with.
