Okay, this is a long chapter. I'm not sorry. It had to be done.

About last chapter I told you all I hated her so I couldn't take it anymore and got rid of her! I'm not Sorry!

Okay, so I know I promised cannon pairings but I lied apparently because when I read the Manga and watched the anime again this just tugged at my heart and I had to have Haru with Yuki! I had to! So I'm sorry to that student council girl and Rin!

Torhu and Rin will have happy endings!

"Endurance race?" Kami repeated. He was wearing his female school uniform and was standing in class leaning against the window. Some of the girls were talking to him. He'd only been back to school two weeks. " Today for gym?"

"That's right." one sighed, "it's a total drag. You're lucky you don't have to run it, Kami."

Kami reached in his wolf backpack and pulled out his cell phone. He pressed a button.

'Hatori Sohma speaking.' Hatori said from the other side.

"Uncle Hari, " Kami said, " Today is an Endurance run."

'You may walk it only, Kami.' Hatori sighed, Kami could just imagine him leaning back in his chair and tapping his pen on his desk. 'I don't want you putting to much strain on your body. I'll explain this to your teacher if I have to.'

"No it's okay." Kami blinked, Kyo and Yuki were outside the classroom with the gym teacher defending his honor. "I think Yuki and Kyo are doing a good enough job. "

'Alright. ' Hatori replied, 'If you need anything else just call...oh, Kami."

"Yes, uncle Hari?"

'Keep an eye out for Hatsuharu for me would you? It seems he got lost again while trying to find Kyo.'

"Uh..Uncle Hari?" Kami sweat dropped, "I don't know a Hatsuharu."

"Look for a boy about your age with white and black hair. "

"Okay, Uncle."

Kami hung up.


That was how Kami found himself in his gym uniform lining up with the girls. He looked back at Kyo and Yuki and shrugged. They both motioned him on so he nodded and began walking as soon as the run started.

He was pretty far along the course when he saw white hair and someone laying on the bank. He walked down.

"Excuse me." the boy looked at him. "Are you Hatsuharu Sohma?"

"Yes." the boy said,"they're coming. "

Kami was sitting on his knees having sat that way to talk to Hatsuharu. He watched Hatsuharu tie a rope to the barrier on the other side of the rode and come back so he crawled up the bank to join him. Haru pushed him down gently to hide him and kept watch. Kami felt the connect right away. This Hatsuharu was one of them. Memories flooded into his head and he now knew that Haru was the cow.

As Kyo ran up to the rope Haru pulled it and Kyo tripped falling over.

"KYO!" Kami popped up and ran over to him. Helping him up. " Kyo, are you okay?!"

"What they hell do you think you're doing?!" Kyo yelled at Haru, "I was winning!"

"If I hadn't done this you wouldn't have stopped." Haru explained. "I want to duel."

"You guys lets take this under the bridge." Kami pulled Kyo along. "The racers are coming."


Soon Yuki was explaining 'Black Haru' .

"Yuki." Haru leaned in close to Yuki, "You just wait tonight I will make you mine."

"Is that so?" Yuki asked, not bothered, "Well then you'd better finish your fight."

"Get up, Kyo!"

"I'm already up!" kyo yelled back as Haru headed back over to him. " Where were you?"

"I'm right here." Black Haru sneered. "Are you ready to get serious yet pansy?"

"once you go Black you really suck!" Kyo yelled.

"Shut up!" Haru snapped, "Quit whining or I'll take the girl too!"

Kami looked at Yuki and pointed at himself. Yuki nodded.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Kyo roared eyes flitting to Kami.

"You know I'll do this..." Haru smirked darkly, "and that...and definitely that... and a few other things..."

Kyo saw red and began fighting in earnest.

"But I want Kyo to be the one to do this and that." Kami replied, pouting, Yuki patted his head causing his ears to pop up. He loved being petted. Suddenly, Yuki fell to his knees coughing. "YUKI!"

the fight stopped and they both ran over.


"He's having an attack!" Haru cried "You girl hug me."

"I'm not a girl." Kami replied, shaking his head, "I'm a boy, and it wouldn't work even if I was. I'm the Wolf." he thought "But don't worry. I can get us home." he pulled out his cell, he always wears his wolf no matter what, and pressed a button. "father? I have an emergency. Today was the endurance run and Yuki's having an attack will you please send a car to the bridge near the school? There's four of us. Kyo, Yuki, Haru and me." he nodded, "Yes I understand, thank you."

Haru wrapped Yuki in his jacket as Kami hung up.

"A car should arrive soon."


Yuki lay across on his bed an ice pack on his head. Shigure had gone to the school and Kyo was calling Hatori.

"Do you Kyo and Yuki still get into fights every day?"

"No but they argue a lot." Kami replied, he'd changed in to another long sleeve shirt that showed his stomach and jeans. "Almost every day and it was worse when that girl was playing them against each other."

Kyo stopped outside Yuki's room to listen.

"I see." Haru smiled to himself, "Well, that means they are getting along. "

"Does it?"

"Yeah." Haru sat with his back to the bed one knee up he leaned against it. "My first love was Yuki."

"Really?" Kami asked, "That's great."

"Of course i like Kyo too..." Haru hissed as Kami's foot pounded him into the floor.

"MY KYO!"

"But to me Yuki is special." Kami stopped and sat down. Haru re took his spot. Outside in the hall Kyo smiled to himself. "Though when I was a kid I hated him."

"Why?"

"Because he's the rat." Haru explained, "It's in the old story right? God called all of the animals and told them that there was going to be a great feast. Everyone was really excited. The rat was feeling devious and told the cat that the feast was the day after it really was then the Rat rode the whole way to the feast on the Cow's head while the cat slept on dreaming of a feast he would never get to attend. " Haru sighed, "When I was young all the adults would make fun of the Cow. They would say how stupid he was for being used by the Rat. I understood that they were half joking when they said it but it still made me angry. Some of them would even say I was a stupid being with no brains. I got laughed at alot. So when I lost my confidence I blamed it all on the rat. I got so pissed off I would attack anyone and anything so my parents sent me off to Marshal arts training. That was when 'Black Haru' came to be. Marshal arts didn't help me get over the anger and resentment though. I liked it but people still laughed at me.

Then one day i saw Yuki. We went to different schools so I had only ever saw him at New Years and we had never talked. I saw him and I just exploded. I grabbed him and began yelling at him. 'It's you fault!' I said, 'It's all your fault! People say the Cow is stupid and brainless! The Cow gets laughed at because of the damn Rat! It's all of your fault you damn dirty rat!' I said to him. He stared at me for a moment then spoke.

'Is that truly how it is?' he asked me, 'Are you really stupid and brainless, I mean?'

'No.' I replied, 'No I'm not stupid. I'm not stupid at all.'

'Yeah.' he said, smiling at me. ' I didn't think so.'

Ever since then I calmed down a lot though I still go Black at times. No one had ever spoken to me like that before. Not even my own parents. When Yuki spoke to me like that I understood in a way I hadn't before. I felt freer then ever. That day is one of my best memories. Because that was the day I fell in love."

Kyo was leaning against the wall outside of the room . He leaned his head back to touch the wall and closed his eyes willing with all his might that KAmi didn't tell their story.

Inside, Kami was blinking trying to hold in tears.

"That's a great story, Haru." Kami took his hand in his. "You and I have to be friends okay?"

"Okay." Haru smiled, "You love Kyo?"

"Yep, that's right." Kami beamed, "Kyo and I are meant to be together just like you and Yuki."

"Haru, why did you tell him that?" Yuki asked sitting up. Haru blinked. "Well?"

"Because it's true." Haru replied, "It's the story of how I fell in love with you."

Yuki sighed, "How did I get home?"

"don't worry about that." Kami replied, letting go of Haru's hand. " I called father to send us a car. He likes it when I call him for things even as small as that. He was happy to help and Yuki guess what?"

"What?"

"I made a new friend." Kami declared , "You rest. " he stood, "Haru, you snuggle with Yuki to keep his fever down."

Haru happily climbed into bed with Yuki who protested.


Kami left the room only to be pinned to the wall and kissed by Kyo. He clung to Kyo's shirt and kissed back. Their tongues began battling. Kami's only passing thought was that they had never kissed like this before then his mind went blank and he started getting hard. They stopped when it got hard for Kami to catch his breath.

"Sorry." Kyo said pushing Kami into the bathroom and shutting the door. He began running a warm bath for him. "I'm sorry for ambushing you like that."

"I'm not." Kami smirked letting his hair down. It hit mid back. He ran his fingers through his curls. "I hope we can kiss like that again."

"Whenever you want." Kyo replied standing up. "Now come on you'll get sick if you don't warm up soon. " Kyo ran his fingers through Kami's curls then kissed his lips gently. "I think it's best if I don't bathe with you."

"But I'm still scared of the water." Kami mumbled, grabbing his arm. "Please don't leave. You don't have to bathe with me but will you stay in here with me?" he opened the door a little. "there now everyone can peek in and make sure we aren't doing anything. "

Kyo smiled eyes going soft and agreed.

That's how Hatori found them when he arrived pulling a sick dog into the house. Kyo was washing Kami's hair and they were quizzing each other about school work and despite protests Yuki was fast asleep in Haru's arms. Haru was also asleep. Shigure ended up sick and Hatori was not happy.
