Hurricane

"D...DON'T GO! YUKI! YUKI! COME BACK! Please...?" everything he'd ever felt for the boy was shattered when he never got a response from him. Each and every part of Hatsuharu screamed at him to go after the other teenager, but he just couldn't move. "Yu...YU-KI!" He cried, falling to his knees, grasping his aching heart as he wept silently to himself.

"Don't be so pathetic. Get up Haru. Are you just gonna let him get away from you THAT easily? God, I don't know whether to end your misery with a swift kick, or let you just look as pitiful as you do now for as long as you want. Get off your knees, Sohma Hatsuharu!" the voice urged him.

Still feeling, somewhat, dismayed inside, he lifted his gaze to a hand outstretching before his face. Surprised, his tears ceased for a brief moment as he looked up, only to fill with complete hatred when he saw his greatest adversary.

"I don't want your pity." He growled, turning away and wiping his eyes with his arm as he arose from the ground.

"It's not PITY. You just don't GET IT, DO you Haru?!" The cat roared, reaching for one of the other teen's fallen hands and pulling it into his own. "Knock it off!" he used most of his might to pull the other Sohma into a forceful embrace, holding him gently. "Quit the tough guy act just for one damn minute, will ya?"

Hatsuharu had never heard the neko speak like this before, not even to Kagura.

"Wha-?" he whimpered, feeling his tears come back at full force. He suddenly felt completely drained and fell right into Kyou's arms, sobbing profusely into the orange-haired neko's blue sweatshirt.

Since when did Kyou get so soft and inclined to emotions and HATSUHARU'S emotions at THAT? Right now it didn't matter. Although it was his worst enemy he was in the arms of, that worst enemy was giving him a shoulder to cry on, and something he'd NEVER gotten from anyone else.

"Kyou..."

"As long as we've known each other...you've known...my secret...and I now know one of yours...so...we're even..."

"Baka Neko." Haru smirked.
