Chapter 2:

Harumi's golden eyes widened as she looked around, admiring Kaibara Public High School. It looked nothing like her school with all the boys and girls working together. Harumi's school was an exclusive girl school and she never thought about how it would be like being in the same room as boys and having to do group projects with them and learn in the same environment.

In all honesty, though Harumi was genuinely curious with what was happening around her, she was also terrified.

Momiji held onto her hand and was swinging it to a random tune he was humming while they were walking down the halls of the school, Hatori following them silently. Harumi was not blind and saw the way the girls and the boys of the school were looking at them and was scared that a girl would just randomly jump out and hug one of them. Or maybe someone might push a girl and she would fall onto Momiji and Hatori. Either way, Harumi was scared about their secret getting out.

The young Sohma was just about to voice her worries when Momiji released his hold on her hand and dashed down the hall, disappearing into the crowd. Harumi, not expecting Momiji to run away, was left stunned in her spot, mouth agape and hand dangling by her side, cold and abandoned. The girl mimicked a fish out of water's mouth and was just about to run after Momiji when she felt a hand on her shoulder, looking up she saw Hatori now standing by her side, stoic as ever.

"Ha – Hatori-san," Harumi stuttered out, scared that she had lost Momiji. "What about Momiji-kun? He – He could get hugged or ran into or –"

"I'm sure he'll be fine," Hatori gave Harumi's shoulder and reassuring squeeze. "Let's just go to Yuki and Kyo's classroom."

"But – But –"

"I'm not going to let you go look for Momiji alone." Hatori was already leading Harumi down the hallway without her consent. The girl was too busy looking every which way, trying to find any trace of the blonde boy.

"He –"

"Du lieber Himmel!" Harumi heard Momiji shout and, without thinking, she immediately separated herself from Hatori and ran towards the source of Momiji's voice. She had no clue what he had just said; she was just focused on getting to where he was.

Dodging everyone in her way, the young Sohma pushed through the group of students surrounding the entrance of class 1-D and was shocked to see Momiji on the back of Yuki who was wearing a dress. Harumi's eyes widened and was just as shocked as the students in the classroom who obviously did not expect a blonde, German boy to jump on the back of Yuki.

"Momiji-kun –" Harumi began to say but was interrupted once more when Hatori placed a hand on her shoulder. The girl jumped, not expecting Hatori to catch up with her so fast.

"Momiji," The dragon began, pushing Harumi into the classroom. "Don't wander around by yourself. You got Harumi worried."

Harumi blushed, embarrassed, and waved at Yuki and grinned happily when she saw Kyo. It had been so long since she saw the two and she suddenly felt a wave of excitement over come her. "Hello!" She greeted with a chirp, "You look well, Yuki-san. Kyo." She then made a move to approach them when a group of girls pushed her aside in order to surround Hatori, Momiji and Yuki. Harumi stumbled back, shocked, and was caught by Kyo.

"What are you doing here?" The cat asked her, straightening her up before stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Momiji-kun received a flier about this Cultural Fest your school was having," Harumi said with a smile, grabbing hold of Kyo's arm, much to his annoyance. "Guess what! Guess what!"

"What?" Kyo snatched his arm back.

"I'm skipping school for this!" The young Sohma said, smirking. "I'm a delinquent now. Like you!"

"Who are you calling a delinquent!?" Kyo yelled out, making a grab for Harumi who just laughed and took a step away from him, bumping into one of the students of Class 1-D.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The student apologized. Harumi looked up to see a pretty girl with long brown hair and large brown eyes wearing an apron, bowing as she apologized. When she straightened up, she sent Harumi a small smile. "Are you a relative of Kyo-kun?"

"No, she's just a delinquent," Kyo placed a hand on Harumi's head, pushing her down.

"Says who?" Harumi slipped from under his hand and stood behind the girl. "He's lying! I'm a good girl!"

"What? You just said you were a delinquent like me!" The cat huffed, glaring at Harumi.

"So you admit you're a delinquent?" Harumi asked, her smirk back.

"What? You – I – I give up!" Kyo threw his hands in the air, causing Harumi to laugh. "Brat." he hissed.

Harumi stepped away from the girl she was hiding behind of and stuck her tongue out at Kyo playfully. "I'm just teasing you, Kyo. Hatori-san let me skip school today. I'm not a delinquent," she then turned her attention to the girl who looked between her and Kyo with confusion. "Hello, I'm Sohma Harumi. Who are you?"

"Sohma? Are you a relative of Kyo-kun?" The girl asked, her smile returning to her lips and a sort of excited twinkle appearing in her eyes. Harumi cocked her head at the sudden cheerfulness of the girl and smiled sweetly.

"You could say that. By the way, I'm not always that annoying –"

"So she says." Kyo muttered.

" – I just haven't seen Kyo in so long and I sort of got a little too excited." Harumi ended, ignoring Kyo's comment.

"Oh, you aren't annoying. It was actually quite cute the way you and Kyo-kun bicker. You two are like siblings," The girl clapped her hands and when she laughed it reminded Harumi of wind chimes. It was soft and pleasant to the ears. "I'm Honda Tohru," the girl introduced herself and Harumi's eyes widened.

"Ah!" The young Sohma yelled out, pleasantly shocked, causing Tohru to jump, surprised.

"Ah?" Tohru repeated, confused.

"What are you doing, idiot?!" Kyo suddenly shouted, causing Harumi and Tohru to look over to whom he was yelling at. Harumi's mouth fell open when she saw that Momiji had climbed the onigri booth and she immediately ran towards the rabbit, grabbing hold of the back of his jacket.

"Momiji-kun, what are you doing?" Harumi whined, tugging harder. "You're not supposed to climb the booth!"

"But look, Rumi-chan! Look at all the onigiri's!" Momiji said, an onigri in his hand and mouth. He handed Harumi one. "They're so good!"

Accepting the snack, Harumi took a bite out of the rice ball and she hummed when she tasted it. Momiji was telling the truth. It was good.

"You're right," The young Sohma said, taking another bite. "Can you please come down now?"

"Well –" Momiji began to say but wasn't able to continue for Kyo took hold of his jacket and pulled him down from the booth and dragged him behind a curtain that was hung in the classroom. Harumi hurriedly followed after them, quickly taking another onigri in her hand. She pulled back the curtain and was just in time to see Kyo hit Momiji on the head.

"ALL RIGHT. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO STAY HERE AND BE QUITE OR GO HOME!" The cat yelled out angrily, ignoring the cry of Momiji. Harumi frowned and pulled the cat away from the rabbit. "Hey, hey, hey. Let go of me!"

"Don't hit him," Harumi pouted, furrowing her brows at Kyo. She wasn't exactly mad at him but she wasn't pleased either.

"Your boyfriend was being annoying," Kyo said back, stuffing his hand into his pocket. Looking at the girl, he didn't see the vibrant color her cheeks now donned, instead he took notice of what was in her hand. "Is that an onigri? Don't steal from our booth!"

"Stealing? I thought it was for free!" Harumi gasped, shoving the onigri into Kyo's hands and wiped away the rice grains on her skirt. "Here, take it back. I don't have any money!"

"Don't give it back when you already touched it!" Kyo yelled, dropping the onigri onto the floor. "Look what you did! You wasted it."

Harumi wrinkled her nose at Kyo and looked back to Momiji only to see that he was chatting with Tohru who had joined them when Harumi wasn't paying attention. The young Sohma listened in on their conversation and her eyes widened when Momiji made a move to hug Tohru. The girl was just about to stop him when Kyo beat her to it.

"Hold it, Lover Boy."

"Are you hogging Tohru because she's cute?" Momiji asked Kyo, furrowing his eyebrows. Harumi felt her heart falter with what Momiji said but she kept quiet, not wanting to say anything. "I bet Kyo hugs her every day!" He added, causing Kyo to blush furiously and stammer on his words. Momiji took this as his opportunity and jumped at Tohru, wrapping his arms around her. "MY TURN!" he cheered before he created a large explosion when he transformed.

When the smoke cleared up, Tohru and Harumi where on the floor and Momiji, in his rabbit form, sat on Tohru's knee. Harumi heard the students approach the curtain and she quickly made a move to collect Momiji's clothes and hide them. She wasn't fast enough. Once she had his jacket and shorts in her arms, the students on Class 1-D pulled back the curtains and began question them about the explosion, the whereabouts of Momiji and where the rabbit came from. Harumi was close to panicking when Yuki saved the day by acting like an innocent girl and Harumi and the others took this chance to escape to the roof.

"Idiot! Does he even know what he's doing?" Kyo shouted once they were on the roof. Momiji was transferred from Tohru to Harumi and while Kyo was angrily yelling at nobody, Tohru was carefully folding Momiji clothes.

"I think that's enough excitement for me for one day," Harumi said, hugging Momiji close to her body, his ear tickling her nose. Momiji whined about how scary Tohru's classmates were. "Yuki-san won't be able to hold his head up for a week."

"So you're the rabbit," Tohru said thoughtfully, eyeing Momiji's yellow fur. Harumi nuzzled the rabbit's fur and when she decided to look up, Yuki had already joined them on the roof and punched Kyo for something he, Harumi was confident that Kyo had said something to irk Yuki, said.

"You have to be more carefully, Momiji," Harumi told him quietly, watching as Hatori gathered Yuki and Kyo together and tricked them into smiling so he could take their picture. "Yuki-might not have been able to distract them."

"Sorry, Rumi-chan," Momiji apologized. "I won't do it again!"

Harumi smiled softly and looked away from Momiji, turning her attention to Tohru. The girl caught Harumi's eye and sent her a smile. Harumi returned it but couldn't help certain thoughts swarm in her mind.

Please don't take him away from me. Let me be selfish just this once.
