Ok so here's the next chapter! Hehe I hope you like it!

Chapter 4

I rush after Haruhi, deeper into the forest. Where did she go? I wonder. Then I hear a scream, so pain filled and sad, that it brings me to my knees. I cover my ears with my hands and get back to my feet, running towards the sound. I don't have to go far. I run into a clearing in the woods to find the petite brunette who has stolen my heart, curled in a ball on the ground, screaming and bawling her eyes out.

Hikaru's POV

I rush forward and kneel down beside Haruhi's whimpering form. "Oh Haruhi," I whisper and she looks up at me, before scooting away. "S-stay away from me!" She whimpers and my heart breaks. "Haruhi, it's alright. Come back, we're your friends, we won't judge you," I say, trying to get through to her. "N-no you're just lying! Y-you think I-I'm a freak! Just like Satoru!" She cries and pulls her knees toy her chest, slowly rocking back and forth.

"No Haruhi, we don't. I don't know who Satoru is, but whoever he is, he's a jerk for letting go of you. You are amazing and funny and beautiful and anyone who thinks otherwise is blind!" I shout and her eyes widen. I gasp as I realize what I just said and she looks at me with questioning eyes. "It's true Haruhi. We all think it. We can't loose you! I can't loose you!" I start to cry and she gasps, slowly moving forward. "I love you!" I say and she grasps my chin and pulls my face up, to look at her. "I love you too," She says and I feel me eyes widen. She starts to wipe away all of my tears.

"Please don't cry Hikaru. It breaks my heart," She whispers and I freeze. "It breaks mine when you cry," I say and I mentally slap myself. What am I doing? I never show anyone my vulnerable side except for Kaoru. I defiantly never show girls this side. Why am I acting like this? Why does Haruhi make me so… so weak? She smiles at me and I look into her big, soft, kind brown eyes and the next thing I know, I'm kissing her. Me, Hikaru Hitachiin, kissing Haruhi Fujioka.

Well, I guess Haruhi Sohma. She freezes for a moment, before responding and kissing me back. I feel my heart leap to my chest in excitement. It's all like a dream.

Haruhi's POV

My heart stops as Hikaru leans in and presses his lips to mine. I couldn't believe he is actually kissing me, or that I'm kissing him back! Without even realizing what I'm doing, I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him to me.

There is a puff of smoke, and suddenly, I'm lying in Hikaru's arms, as a bear. He smiles down at me, red faced, and I smile at him. Well, as best as I can as a bear. He scoops me up and cradles me to his chest with one hand, the other holds my clothes. I snuggle into his chest as he begins to walk back to the house.

Kaoru's POV

I sigh as I lean against the doorframe in Haruhi's new house. I block out all of the noise in the room. Tamaki's worrying, Kyouya questioning Haruhi's brother, and Honey senpai's crying. I close my eyes and lean back.

A rustling in the trees breaks through my quiet barrier and I snap my eyes to the forest. All the noise in the room stops as everyone looks outside to see what's making the noise. I'm truly shocked at the culprate. Hikaru walks out, cradling a small bear in his arms. No, not a bear, Haruhi.

I remind myself and I silently laugh as I hear Tamaki fume beside me. I'm just grateful that Hikaru got through to her, and now, maybe he'll break away from me. The thought saddens me a little and I smile weakly as He comes up to the porch.
