"Oh my love, please don't cry. I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life."

~~~~~~~Haru~~~~~~

I smirked at the look Tohru gave me. It was a look of puzzlement.

"Excuse me?" she asked full of false cheer, "are you feeling alright Haru-san? You are acting strange."

I walked towards her, smiling, "I've never been better… So Tohru, you really believe Yuki is that much of a bastard and a brat huh?"

She took a step back, "N-no I just, you misunderstand, I just-"
            I placed two fingers over her repulsive lips, "shut the hell up." I heard her whimper and I grinned. "Scared? Good… you don't know the pains you've caused… and then you dare to think that crap about Yuki… who the hell do you think you are?"

I felt her try and pull towards the door but I thrust her back, "No, you're not going anywhere, I'm not done with you bitch…"

I saw terror swimming in her eyes, and my insides warmed. I heard deep down inside me, a voice screaming hysterically for me to stop before I did something wrong, but I ignored it. Stop? Why the hell should I, she was a stupid whore who took Yuki from me. And now she'd pay. I reached into my pocket and smiled, I had what I needed, and this victory would be sweet. Sweet with tainted blood if nothing else. Tohru made another break for the door.

I slammed her back and slapped her hard. "I SAID YOU AREN'T GOING A GOD DAMN PLACE!"

She whimpered and sat down. I leered at her, "good…"

I slowly walked behind her, reaching into my pocket and pulling out a piece of metal wire. I wrapped each end around my hands then placed it tightly to Tohru's neck. The wind continued to moan outside, adding to the noise in my head.

"You think its fun to fuck with others lives?... Let me fuck with you. Yuki never was yours." the words were frigid enough to freeze in the air.

She whimpered again, a pitiful sound, "Haru... I didn't really think that about Yuki, and I never wanted him to be mine, don't hurt me please!" Tears started to flow down her face.

I glared and gave a quick jerk on the wire. She gasped as it cut shallowly into her neck and dashed back out. "LIAR! You took him! You took him from me! And then you took Kyou over him, you hurt him! God damn you!" I shouted this out and kicked her in the small of her back. "You shit faced liar!"

She cried out in pain, "Hatsuharu, no that's not…"

I tightened the wire and she gagged, I felt a little bit of heat trickle over my hands. Blood. I whispered, "you're done…. And Yuki is mine."

I wrenched the wire back fiercely, a gurgling choke was heard, and the wet warmth flowed over my hands. Her chest rose and fell a few times, then stopped, her eyes staring forever blankly. I grinned, Yuki would be mine again. I pulled my hands away, her body slumped to the floor. I stood there for a moment, somewhere inside, a horrendous screaming was getting louder. The door behind me opened then, and my love walked in.

~~~~Yuki~~~~

I had gone outside on a walk giving my mind a chance to ponder the things Tohru had said to Kyou. It didn't bother me that much, its not like I love Tohru like everyone thinks I do. I thought she was a wonderful friend, and a nice person, but my heart belonged to Haru, even if he couldn't have it. I just hoped she hadn't made a mistake by being with that stupid cat.

I wandered back to the house, Kyou and Shigure had both gone out as well. I shut the door behind me, near slamming it with how hard the wind was blowing. I walked inside, calling out Tohru's name. I heard nothing, and then a dull thump from upstairs. I sighed, she must have dropped something. I walked up the stairs to her room, intending to help. There stood Haru. I opened my mouth to ask him why he was here, and in Tohru's room no less, when I took in the whole scene.

Blood dripped from Haru's hands. Crimson pooled around Tohru, and more scarlet liquid trickled out of a ragged slash from the girl's throat. Haru was staring at his hands, rather blankly. I stepped back, my stomach lurching. "No, he hadn't, not my Haru," my mind yelped. My Haru couldn't have harmed a fly much less a girl. A girl he believed had taken me away…. The girl that made my Haru, wait that wasn't right, he wasn't my Haru anymore, and he thought it was Tohru's fault.

Tohru, that sweet girl, had never hurt anyone. Haru, too, had never hurt anyone till now, yet he had been dealt terrible anguish. But he had killed her… he had killed her, how could he have killed her.

"How could you?" I whispered, barely aware I was speaking out loud. I wasn't even sure who I spoke to. Was it to Haru for killing her; or me, for causing it all?

Haru looked at his hands, then glanced to the body. I felt anger surge through me. Anger that I had been so stupid, anger that Akito had torn us, anger that Haru had been so idiotic to kill my friend.

"How could you?! You bastard!" I screamed at him. I felt cold; my head was a throbbing drum.

Haru looked up at me, the callous look in his eyes melted, and understanding set in. He clapped his bloodied hand to his mouth. He stared at Tohru's corpse, shock on his face. He let out a heavy sob, turned away from her, and vomited. He stood up, fell, and them managed to scoot himself to a wall. I felt like vomiting myself, and a crimson stained Haru panicking wasn't helping at all. My rage had left, only guilt and heartache remained. I pulled myself out of the room, and sat in the hall. I noticed there were tear streaks painting my face, and I lowered my head, resting it on my knee.

Haru's hitched cries came from the other room, he sounded like he was hyperventilating. I unsteadily stood up, and walked into the room, turning my head from the carnage, looking only at Haru, trying to ignore the proof of the butchery on him. He was sitting, his arms in a vice grip around his knees. His frightened face was staring at his twisted deed. I kneeled next to him, and softly placed a hand on his shoulder

"Haru…." I whispered softly. My voice and body threatening to collapse, "come on Haru, let's get out of here, get you cleaned up."

He stared at me, his eyes showing chaos shooting about his mind like marbles that had been scattered onto the floor. He latched onto me and continued sobbing. I wrapped my arms around him, trying to soothe his hysteria. Part of me wanted to recoil, this boy had just killed someone. I also noticed Tohru's blood now stained my shirt. My stomach churned. Deep down though, a tiny part of me was glad, Haru was finally back to me. This time I wouldn't let anyone hurt him again, not even Akito. I gave myself a mental slap for being audacious enough to think of such a thing at this moment. I blinked, cleared my mind and refocused on what was going on now.

"Shhh… it's going to be ok. I won't let anyone hurt you." I whispered.

He belted out a fresh round of loud choked sobs, "n-n-nooo, I-I-I killed her."

My stomach lurched again, but I continued to hold onto him, "we'll figure this out..."

I looked to the door, planning to get him out of the room. There stood Shigure and Kyou, their faces twisted in appalled astonishment.
