A/N: Sorry I'm being so mean to Yuki . . . but I've set up such a PERFECT situation right now . . . so . . . who do you think Hottie Haru will choose? He could choose anybody now . . . so . . . who? Good question . . . I wish I knew!

ONE YEAR AFTER . . .

"The one to save me WINS me." He said only those words, and then hung up the phone, leaving the message machine in silent waiting until somebody came to check it.

He lay still, breathing slowly and heavily, blood still trickling from the cuts he'd made. He wanted to laugh at how pitiful he was, but was afraid to, for some reason, it just didn't feel right.

It was raining, on that day; too . . . the last day he'd seen the other two boys . . . a whole year ago.

It'd been a year since the three of them had spoken to each other. Even Kyou and Yuki had stopped talking to each other for a few months. In school, they wouldn't even look at each other, let alone speak to one another. They did everything humanly possible to avoid the others.

"H . . . HARU!" a voice panted, running toward the younger Juunishi. He looked up briefly to see who was calling him, though his vision was blurring and his whole body was weakened.

Before him stood the one who would save his life. The person he wanted to be with for the rest of his time:

YUKI.

No matter how far he was pushed away, he always came back. This is what Yuki Sohma was noted for, and always lived up to.

Kyou trotted after him, huffing and puffing to catch his breath.

Kyou, the arrogant one, known for speaking his mind and losing his temper. He could never take a hint, and therefore was loyal until the end.

"You're not going THAT easily." Kyou smirked, both boys falling to the ground and taking a hand, quick to wrap up the wounds. Each wrist had a name engraved into it. The one Yuki held, said KYOU, the other: YUKI.

"We're never going to let you go Haru. You know that. And . . . I . . . want to tell you something . . . " Yuki smiled, tying a knot in the cloth on the boy's wrist.

"I . . . I want to tell you something too Hatsuharu . . . " Kyou blushed, placing down his handiwork of the wrist.

"I LOVE YOU!" The two whispered in unison, flinging themselves into the youngest Juunishi and holding him tightly.

"Don't you ever leave me!" "You're never going ANYWHERE."

"Thank you . . . " Hatsuharu smiled, resting his hands on their shoulders and leaning into their embraces. "Thank you so much . . . you . . . you saved me . . . "

GAME OVER.

A/N #2: Sorry that was so sappy. It should've been a HELL of a lot better than it turned out . . . I really didn't explain myself too well . . . but hey . . . I tried. Anyway, you surprised by the pairing(s)? Hehe, I really DIDN'T plan on that transpiring . . . but kinda glad it did. I wanted to put yaoi in here, but it never fit in . . . I got some kissing though . . . I THINK that's a plus.

Oh yeah, hopefully I'll be coming out with a really freaky fic . . . SOON. I just gotta figure out how to start it . . . so . . . in the coming month . . . since summer vacation is coming up . . . look for a fic called "PREDILECTION" in this category some time in June or July. I PROMISE you'll enjoy it! Furuba meets Fast and the Furious!!!! YAY! And THAT will be yaoi. I HOPE. Now review the fic as a whole, will ya? I LOVE ALL OF YOU REVIEWERS! YOU'RE THE BESTEST EVER!!!!!!!!
