A/N: Hehe, if any of you even CARE . . . after four months . . . I've actually started talking to Dan again . . . which has inspired me SOOOOO much! So I feel as though I should make this fic a little more interesting and relate it to my life a little more . . . *Since I've basically been LIVING like this for the past four months, so . . . * Here goes . . . oh yeah, forgive me that it's SO short . . . but there's a long one coming up next . . . PROMISE!

"Hatsuharu!" Yuki yelped out of nowhere, throwing himself into the juunishi, cling to the torn and slippery leather his vest had become. "I'm sorry!"

He continued to look away, not even attempting to reconcile with the wish he used to have. He wished so hard that he could be held like this back then . . . for Yuki to want him like this . . . to need him so badly . . .

Soft footsteps approached the two, making Yuki look up.

"You're too late, damn rat. He's taken." Kyou's voice wasn't as arrogant as it used to be, but rather, just a stating tone this time.

"What?" His eyes widened as he looked up, seeing the way Haru was looking at Kyou. "No . . . "

"Hurts, huh? This is what you get for not noticing the less important people. So you get your wish. YOU get Tohru, and he gets ME."

"How does it feel, Yuki-kun?" Hatsuharu looked down at him, making him feel inferior to life. "How does it feel to come second? How does it feel to be betrayed?"

"You're not serious. Stop it." He hissed through whimpers.

"He is." Kyou glared at him with no emotion whatsoever. The same thing Hatsuharu was doing.

"No . . . no . . . no . . . no . . . NO!" he shook his head, letting go of the younger Juunishi.

"Now welcome to MY world." Haru said no more as Kyou helped him to his feet and the two began to amble off, leaning on each other for support.

"See? I told you I would help you." Kyou whispered, easing the other boy to the ground.

"I hate being this cruel . . . but . . . "

"Shh. It's okay. He's taken worse."

"No . . . this time . . . he's completely broken . . . look at him . . . "

"I don't want to. It makes me sick. Right now I don't want to see him at all."
