Chapter 2

A black and white haired boy sat on the steps to the entrance of his high school. His best friend was chatting animatedly at him and he smiled affectionately. Even though the two were the same age he looked far older and his small companion looked to be about twelve instead of his fifteen years.

'Ne, Haru?' The smaller boy asked inquiringly.

Haru flicked his eyes towards him, 'What?'

'Do you think I'll ever find someone to love me?'

'What are talking about you silly rabbit? (note) Tons of people love you. Me, Yuki, Shigure, the rest of the zodiac, even Tohru, oh and even Kyou.'

Momiji shook his head, 'No, that's not what I meant. I meant like what you and Rin have. Or what even Kisa and Hiro have.'

Hatsuharu snorted, 'Really? Those little squirts? Who would have thunk it.'

'Haruuuu….I'm being serioussss.'

'Hai, hai, I know. Well,' Haru shifted his position to a more comfortable stance, 'I think there will always be someone out there for everybody.'

'Even if she isn't in the zodiac?'

'Sure even then. Think of Hatori.'

Momiji snorted, and rolled his eyes, 'Yeah, look how well that one turned out.' He may have appeared sarcastic, but that didn't stop Haru from seeing the little quiver that his lip betrayed him with.

Haru sighed, 'Come on what brought all this on about?'

At first Haru thought Momiji wasn't going to answer when he heard him say, 'I saw them today.'

'Your family?'

'Yeah. I walked by them and I even waved.'

'What happened?'

'Mom waved back, and said Ohayo….but there wasn't anything. Not a flicker of recognition.'

'Sorry, Momiji. But it could have been worse I guess. Your mom did what she did out of love, a little bit.'

'How?'

'Well, she didn't her family to be torn apart, and she thought you would be happier.

'Yeah, poor Rin. Wow, I sound really selfish now, don't I?'

'NO, I think you and Rin have got it the worst. Course I could just be saying that because I am closest to you two.'

Suddenly the two heard what sounded like a stampede coming towards them. A very loud stampede. Composed of two people. That were yelling at each other. Along with a nervous girl following them with brown hair, and a mass of cats and mice. They both sighed mentally. It was another typical morning.

"Ha, look at that you damn rat, I've finally beaten you!! MUwahahahahahahahahahaha!!'

5 minutes later...

Yuki's eye was staring to twitch, 'Are you done yet?

'Nope. Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!'

'Well, before you start a victory dance up, I thought that I should let you know that I won.'

'What!? No, you didn't!!'

'Just ask Ms Honda.'

'Eh!? Tohru, tell this damn rat that I beat him!!'

'U-um actually Kyou, Yuki is right. The finish line was the School's gate, not...the….steps…' She trailed off as an aura of fury surrounded the cat.

'Who made up those stupid rules?!'

Yuki let out a deep breath. 'You did you baka neko.'

Kyou's face now resembled a fish that has been thrown out water gasping for breath, er, water. He huffed and sat down on the steps with his back turned toward the others. He started to growl, but to everyone else he seemed to be purring.

Tohru turned to the two boys who were already on the steps, 'So, good morning, Momiji, Hatsuharu.'

'Good Morning Tohru!' Momiji squealed and attempted to give her a hug, but the three other boys held him back. Where upon he started to cry, and caused a big scene, until Haru pulled out a lollipop and all was good.

'So what were you two talking about before we got here?' Tohru asked politely.

'Love.' Haru responded with his eyes closed and his arms folded underneath his head.

'Love?' Yuki stated questionably.

'Yeah!' Momiji started up enthusiastically. 'I was thinking I want a girl who is really cure, and sweet, and perfect, and a good cook.' Everyone but the oblivious Tohru seemed to get this reference.

'That's so cool Momiji, I want that too!' Everyone knew she meant in guy form, well everyone but Momiji.

Suddenly Momiji got tears in his eyes and started to cry, but Haru just got out another lollipop, while Tohru kept asking what she did wrong.

Yuki just said, 'Its nothing Ms Honda, don't worry about it.'

' So Yuki what kind of girl would you want?' Yuki blushed and his eyes widened at the sudden question and then thought about it, what was he looking for in a partner? Kindness he supposed. Someone who understood him. He wouldn't mind if they were a little bit pretty. A good talker, he was a listener, so a talker should fit him perfectly. A little bit outgoing too, since he was so reserved. That sounded good he decided and he was about to answer when Kyou sounded his opinion.

'Ha Prince Charming, probably wants a cute little girl like him so they can be a matching pair. Ha, probably wants her to be perfect too.'

'Stupid cat, I liked you better when you had a fever, last night. And no I don't want someone like me; in fact I would actually want someone the exact opposite of me.' He glared at him a little for effect.

'Oh, so you want someone who isn't locked away in his studies, and doesn't spend his days trying to please people.'

'Fine, Baka Neko, what would you look for in someone to love you?'

Kyou froze.

Who could ever love a monster?

'Stupid! Like I would ever need anyone anyway! Relationships and things like love are just too much trouble. I would be perfectly content with spending the rest of my days alone.'

Momiji had to ask, 'Really, Kyou?'

'Yes, really.'

Tohru sniffed, 'B-but… that's just so sad!' She really did look like she was about to cry.

Kyou's face paled. Aww shit! He never knew what to do when someone was crying! That's why he always hit Momiji on the head when he let the waterworks flow.

'Uh, uh…'Yuki, and Haru were glaring at him and Momiji looked close to tears himself. What is up with these people and their damn tears! Tohru he could understand, but Momiji was a fifteen year old guy, he wasn't supposed to cry!

'Uh…I…was…just….kidding?' Tohru and Momiji looked up at him with hope and joy filled eyes. Then they looked at each other and did a little dance. The three guys just sweat dropped.

Suddenly Momiji looked up at him, 'Do you promise Kyou?' Eh? ,'Do you promise to find someone before you get out of high school?'

High school? At the end of it? As in graduation. He smiled in his head bitterly. Why not promise the kid? He wasn't going to exactly be around to ensure that he kept it. It's not like anyone was ever going to be around him after graduation, no one. Except Akito. HE shivered involuntarily.

'Sure, I promise.' Everyone's eyes bugged out. Did Kyou just promise to find a girlfriend?! Everyone was looking at him in shock, but Momiji just smiled happily.

The rat looked at him with disbelief, the bell rang signaling school about to start, what was that cat up to?

Note: Trix are for kids! Lol, did anyone get that? Eh. Alls wells.
