Haru's Backseat Experience

It was mid-afternoon and Haru Sohma was, as was his way, lost. Again.

For the third time today.

Haru was a bit sensitive about his directional disability... He

considered it an insult to his intelligence by association.

So, understandably, he wasn't in any hurry to stop and ask for

directions.

"Ah!...Hatori's car...." Muttered Haru. He noticed it was pulled over by

the pharmacy.

Probably getting refills for Akito.....'

Since he's heading back to the main house anyway... I'm sure he won't

mind if I hitch a ride.'

Haru quickly snuck over to the car, only to find the door oh-so-

conveniently unlocked. He slid into the back seat, and lay down,

suddenly realizing that going 2 days without sleep, wandering

aimlessly, and not eating could result in extreme exhaustion.

I'll just take a quick nap until we get home....' And in no time,

Haru had slipped off into a world of Yuki and Rin inspired dreams.

[A/n: Yes, I know.. Yuki & Rin?!?! But I can see him putting them

together in all his kinkyness, ne?]

Hatori exited the pharmacy in a hurry, and hurried to his car. "Damn!

.... I'm already late... and I promised Honda-kun we'd do this today....."

Due to his being distracted... Hatori never noticed the sleeping black

and white lump in his backseat. He hurried to Shigure's to keep his

date with the resident ray of sunshine.

He became more frustrated as he tried to figure out the on-coming

scenario in his head. He had never had a lot of patience... and Akito

had been testing what little he did have more and more lately. This

tended to put him in an almost perpetual bad mood.

He was surprised to say the least, when Tohru Honda showed up at his

office looking rather nervous, and asked him if he would do this for

her. Why me? Why now?' he wondered to himself.

"Either way... it wouldn't do to make her think I stood her up..." He

said, more to convince himself than anything.

He arrived just in time to see Tohru's face, that had been lined with

worry and nerves, crack into that bright smile he and his family had

come to love so much.

"Hatori-san! Ohh, Thank you sooo much for doing this for me. I hope

it's not cutting into your schedule?" She babbled excitedly.

"Not at all Honda-kun. After all, how many times have you made

dinner for me? and prevented Shigure from calling me when he got a

paper cut?' he added dryly in afterthought.

Tohru climbed into the passengers seat, as Hatori exited the

driveway. Hatori wanted to make sure they weren't disturbed, so he

pulled into an empty parking lot.

It was at this point that Haru awoke to hear .... A woman's

voice??? What's a woman doing in Hatori's car? Are we at the main

house?'

"Ok. The first thing you need to do is make sure you've taken all the

proper safety precautions."

Tohru pointed down, and Hatori smiled and proceeded to explain

further.

"You should always make sure you have it on right, or you could have

problems later."

Haru stared at the back of Hatori's seat. safety precaution...have it

on right? problems later....?' He blinked a few times before listening

back in on the conversation between the normally cold doctor, and the

innocent he'd apparently brought along to corrupt. This could be

something he wasn't supposed to be hearing... which is what made it

totally worth eavesdropping on.

Hatori's curiosity got the better of him at that moment. He watched

the adorable little rice ball carefully taking in his every word,

then decided to ask.

"Is there any particular reason you wanted me to teach you how to do

this?? I'm sure there were others who would have been more than

happy to help you ." He made sure she didn't think he was unhappy

that she had asked him. He was, really. If it had been Shigure... he

would have taught her how to seduce the instructor... THEN we would've

had a mess.'

"Oh...Hatori-san is the only person I ever hear about doing this kind

of thing. I know Shigure-san is the writer...and could probably

explain things pretty well... but I feel safer with Hatori-san".

Hatori smiled, feeling satisfied, his ego inflated.

Haru wondered a moment before he placed the woman's voice. That's

Tohru-kun! What the hell is Tohru-kun doing that she would want to

feel safe? Something Shigure could explain?? No....it couldn't be. Not

Tohru-kun...She wouldn't ask....something like THAT of Hatori....'

"Alright Tohru-kun. You need to put your hand here. No, down a

little. Yes, right ....there. Good. Now we can start. Pull it down. You

can put your foot there for now."

"Ano...Hatori-san... I'm not too sure about this now.... Erm...um...I've never

even really thought about this before."

"it's alright, I've done this enough times to know how to do it

blindfolded. Not that I'd recommend that for a beginner." Hatori

smiled reassuringly to calm her.

"Hai! You're right Hatori-san. I begged you, and now I'm going to

back out? Iie! I will learn to do this!" Tohru exclaimed, suddenly

very determined.

Hatori shook his head.

Haru was floored. I would've been glad to teach her... I'm sure I know

more about it than he does...Hatori does it blindfolded?'

"This will go better if you put your foot down. Move it over ..."

Hatori grunted with the effort of moving over to direct her foot.

Tohru was getting nervous again.

"oh....." She said breathlessly.

"Alright, NOW we're moving" Hatori went to lean back up, losing his

balance and elbowing her in the arm.

"I'm sorry! Did I hurt you?? I shouldn't be so careless.... Things

would end quickly if I were to transform..."

"Iie Hatori-san. I actually think I'm starting to get it! I don't

want it to end already...."

Hatori continued to direct Tohru , all the while, painting a

completely different picture for the increasingly aroused teen in the

back seat.

"So.. Does Hatori-san always do it this way? I didn't even KNOW

there was a back way!"

"oh, oh Hatori-san... what do I ...."

"It's alright Tohru-kun. You're still learning. Just let me direct

you for now. Once you're comfortable, you can be in control."

"Right!"

"And in answer to your question, I've known about this way since high

school. It's amazing what you learn when you're trying to get away

with things."

"Does Shigure-san know how to come this way? I don't think I've ever

seen him do it this way."

Hatori laughed lowly. "I think Shigure can come any way there is

possible to do so. He got away with a lot in high school."

"Right there, Hatori-san?"

"Hmmm?" Hatori was pulled out of his old school day reverie. "oh,

yes. Right there.....You're really a natural at this Tohru-kun... Make

sure you keep your hand on it....Don't want to have an accident.

"Oh Goodness no... I wouldn't want to make a mess of Hatori-san's car!"

"Does anyone else know about the back way???" Tohru pressed,

completely enthralled in the information Hatori was sharing.

"Well, I think Haru might know about it... he does have experience with

this kind of thing. But he doesn't do it very often..."

I can't believe he just told her that!' Haru fumed.

"Hmmm....Hatori-san is a very good teacher....giggle...are you going to

show Hiro and Kisa how to do this too???"

Hatori blushed at the girl's compliment.

"perhaps when they're old enough, I'll give them a few pointers. I'm

sure Hiro has some idea already. He's pretty mature for his age, and

he picks up things fast."

"Can I call you sensei, Hatori-san???" Tohru breathed excitedly.

"Uh, um, sure, of course, if you want." Hatori was starting to feel

trapped and a little warm. There was something very wrong and

Shigure-like about being called sensei by a cute teenaged girl.

"Sensei, Can I try something different? I think I could get it to

work.... I don't know much about how to get around, but it seems if I

moved this way... we'd get there faster"

"Of course. It's only fair."

I really wish I could see!' Haru was listening as hard as he could.

His hearing wasn't the only thing as hard as it could be.

Hatori sighed in contentment. Teaching Tohru wasn't really so bad.

He looked up only to see that Tohru hadn't been paying attention and

was in the wrong lane!

"TOHRU!!!"

"Sensei!!!" Tohru screamed, willing herself to handle the situation.

Their heavy breathing mingled as both leaned back, lethargic from the

sudden adrenaline rush.

"Oh Sensei...sensei.. I don't know what to say...."

"You don't have to say anything. I understand. You are new at this."

"I was going too fast wasn't I ?? Oh, I knew I'd mess this up!"

"Tohru-kun, look at me. Do I look hurt or un-happy to you??" Hatori

grinned and leaned back.

"You see the need for safety precautions now?"

It was just then that Haru made the connection. The Pharmacy! He

wasn't there for Akito's prescriptions! He was there for protection!'

Tohru, her breathing still heavy, smiled with relief.

"Sensei... I'd like to thank you for all your help... please... let me make

you dinner."

all that AND she cooks for him????' Haru started plotting a way to

get Tohru to need his help' as well.

"That's not necessary Tohru-kun. I was just happy to help."

"I want to... then... do you think... maybe afterwards... We could give it

another go??"

Hatori was amazed. Nothing fazed this girl!

"Of course. Can I ask.... Why you wanted to learn how to do this??"

"Hai!! I wanted to be able to help Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun. I know they

get really frustrated when they need it. Doing everything the long

way, over exerting themselves. Now, whenever the situation should

arise... I'll be able to make life a lot less hard for them."

Hatori opened the door and stepped out.

They walked into the house, Tohru boasting her natural' abilities

the whole way.

"Thank you again for the driving lesson Hatori-san. I think being

able to will be a big help for everyone getting around." Smiled Tohru

as she prepared a meal for the kind hassenchi.

An hour later, Haru was still lying in the back seat.

he has to take her home sometime... and when he does... ....'

Black Haru grinned and laid in wait for the naturally gifted' little

rice ball.
