"Tohru? Tohru? What's wrong? Tohru?" Hatsuharu knelt beside the girl looking deeply at her saddened expression. "Tohru?"

"You . . .you're so cruel . . ."

"What?"

"Why? Why Hatsuharu? Why?"

"Why WHAT?"

"You . . .told me yourself, you couldn't stand me. Why? What did I do?"

"No! That's not true! I don't hate you. I never said such a thing!"

"Yes you do! You said so yourself!"

"No, Tohru I-"

"HATSUHARU! Get away from her!" Yuki appeared out of nowhere, shoving him away from the girl.

Seeing the girl he liked, in tears, must've scared him, since he'd NEVER let anyone make her cry.

As Yuki began to whisper to her, Haru lay still, on the ground, listening to every word carefully.

"Are you alright? Miss Honda? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"N . . .no. It's nothing, Yuki."

"Please, don't cry. What did he do?"

"I . . .I didn't do anything!" He interrupted, picking himself up off of the ground.

"He said he hates me." She whispered quietly to the juunishi. Enraged, Yuki got onto his feet, glaring at Haru.

"Yuki! I didn't! Really! I didn't! Please! Yuki! You must believe me! I didn't!"

"Shut up! Just shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses! What's done is DONE! Now get out of here. NOW!" he turned to leave, taking Tohru by the hand and leading her away from the oushi.

"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.
