I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET!


Haru groaned and rolled off of Momiji. The boy curled his nude body against his side and sighed contentedly. "Oh, God, Momiji. No more. I'm exhausted."

Momiji giggled and wiggled against the older boy. "But it feels so good. One more time. Please?"

Haru sighed and put an arm over his eyes. It had been a month since he and Momiji had started their relationship. Since that first time, they had had sex at least three times a day. The small blonde boy seemed insatiable. They had just finished their third round of the day and the boy was already asking for more.

"Really. I'm exhausted. Let me rest for a while then we'll see, okay?" He wrapped his arms around the boy and closed his eyes.

A knock on the door made both of them jump. Momiji scrambled to pull the tangled blankets over them. "Who's there?"

"Hatsuharu, are you there?" It was Hatori.

"Yes. What is it?" Haru sat up and Momiji quickly hid behind him. The boy may have become comfortable with Haru seeing him nude, but he was very body shy where other people were concerned.

"I need to speak with you about something. I'll be in my office." The boys listened as his footsteps moved down the hall.

Haru stood up and started picking up his clothes. They weren't hard to find. Momiji kept his room spotlessly clean most of the time. "What does he want to talk to you about?"

Haru turned as he pulled his pants on and looked at Momiji in the bed. He had the blankets held to his chest, his hair tussled from their recent activity. "No idea. I'll tell you when I get back." Haru bent and gave the boy a quick kiss. He pulled his shirt on and left the room, closing the door behind him.

After knocking on the door to Hatori's office, Haru opened the door and stepped in. The man was sitting at the table in front of the windows where he usually sat. "Sit down. This wont take long."

"Why do you want to see me? Is something wrong?" Haru pulled out the chair opposite Hatori and sat down, laid his hands in his lap.

"How are you holding up?" Hatori set down the pen he was using and closed the file he had been working on.

"Holding up? With what?"

"In keeping up with Momiji." When Haru's face flushed with embarrassment, Hatori sat back in his chair and crossed his legs, folding his hands over his knee. "Do you know the history of the rabbit?" When Haru shook his head Hatori sighed. "We really need to teach you younger generations the history of the cursed. Alright, I'll tell you what you need to know. Because you do need to know it. Do you know much about rabbits in the wild."

"Not really. What does that have to do with Momiji?"

"Rabbits in the wild are very…" Hatori paused and tried to find the right wording to what he needed to say. "They are very voracious when it comes to certain appetites. Do you catch my meaning?"

"Hatori, if you have something to say, just say it."

Hatori grit his teeth and sat forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Alright, I will make it quick. Through the history of the curse, the separate animals have always had certain traits that are different from one another. The snake has trouble keeping human form in cold weather, the bull has a strong body build, the dragon has the ability to erase memories, and so on. The rabbit has a trait that is often considered a second curse. When they are young, they are very innocent, often naive. But they are essentially a normal child. Once they have physical contact with another, they change."

"What kind of physical contact? And change how?" Haru was getting worried. He didn't like the way Hatori was speaking like he was afraid something bad was going to happen.

"Sex, Haru. Once they become sexually active they change. They become hungry for it. It often takes several encounters a day to satisfy them. All of the rabbits in the records have been gay simply for the fact that it is so hard for someone with the curse to have physical relations with someone of the opposite sex. More often then not, the one they went to was another of the cursed. Sometimes they were steady lovers of more then one of the others because they needed it so often. You and Momiji have been active together for a month now, Haru. I need to know if you are holding up well in keeping up with him."

"That's a very personal question, Hatori. Just because you know about our relationship doesn't give you the right to ask such questions. I love Momiji. Our relationship, especially the sex, is our business." Haru clenched his fists and fought hard to keep his black side under control. He could feel it trying to take over.

"You're right, Haru. It is your business. I'm not asking you to tell me how you have sex, or where or when or even how often. I'm just asking how you, physically, are holding up to it. It is not Momiji's fault how often he needs physical release. It's part of the curse. The fact that you are the one with him actually makes me feel better, believe it or not. Because you're the bull, your body is more physically able to keep up with him then anyone else. I was a little worried when Momiji told me what had happened between you. I still think he is a little young for it yet. But there is nothing we can do about it now. And he seems happier since you told him that you love him."

"I do love him. And he makes me just as happy as I make him."

"Good. But you still haven't answered my question."

Haru shifted nervously and looked down at his hands. "I get tired. But that usually goes away if I eat something. If I tell him I'm tired, he doesn't push me for more. I'm doing better now then I did at first. I'm fine. So can I go now?"

When Haru stood and moved towards the door, Hatori stood and put his hand on the boys shoulder. "You know you can come to me anytime. If you ever need to talk. If you ever get tired and need to rest. If he starts needing more and you cant keep up, you come to me. I can give you some things to help you give him what he needs without exhausting yourself or without him looking somewhere else."

Haru turned on Hatori and grabbed him by the front of his shirt. He slammed the man against the wall. "You watch your mouth, Hatori. Momiji loves me. I give him what he needs just fine. I don't need help from you or anyone else. Momiji wont go looking for someone else to fuck him just because I might be a little tired."

"Hatsuharu, calm down. Momiji is the rabbit. If you cant keep up with him, it will not be yours or his fault if he needs more then one person to get what he needs." Hatori stopped talking when Haru thrust him into the wall again.

"I can give him what he needs. Don't you ever say that shit again." Haru let go of the man and pulled the door open. He walked down the hallway, breathing heavily. He had to talk to Momiji. He had to make sure he was giving him what he needed. The boy wasn't going anywhere else to find physical release. Haru wasn't about to let that happen.
