Chapter 5: The Plan

Shigure's Kitchen:

"I'll just start making dinner for everyone" she sighed. The start of the weekend already started to look grim. Tohru look through the cabinets for some pans when she hears a sound outside. She made her way to the open window and saw Hatsuharu hunch over in an odd position. Tohru clamp her hands over her mouth to stop her from screaming. 'Is he...d-dead' she thought as lean more out the window.

"Um, Tohru what are you looking at?" ask a mellow voice from behind Tohru. Tohru didn't bother to look who spoken to her because she was more concern with Hatsuharu. She leaned more forward out of the window.

"It's Hatsuharu...I think he's hurt" Tohru answer quietly. Her hands shook violently as she thought of what she just said. 'Why...I don't need this...' she thought miserably.

"Oh...I think Hatsuharu is all right" said the voice. Tohru couldn't believe what she was hearing. Didn't the person see that Hatsuharu was hurt (Really can't because she is in the way). He's double over for crying out loud!

"Why do you say that?" she said in a can't-believe-you-said-that voice. When she didn't get an answer she turned her head. She nearly fell out of the window. It was Hatsuharu! He was jacketless, and he was drench from head to toe with water. He looked as if he pass through a rain storm more then once.

"Because I'm standing behind you." Hatsuharu said after a while.

"Why are you wet!?" she asked when she pulled her head back inside the window, looking at Hatsuharu with a face fill with shock. Hatsuharu blinked.

"My headlights on my bike died out...So I tried to ride in the dark and fell into a pond. I would have come here earlier but I got some what lose" he said simply. Tohru cover her mouth in shock.

"Let me get you some towels" She rushed out of the kitchen. Hatsuharu watch her in silence as he leans against a counter top; allowing drops of water to hit the counter. A rather vague frowned formed on his face; there was sometime wrong.

"Here" she said gently as she enters the kitchen again. Tohru walked over to where Hatsuharu leaned, and hand him a few white towels. The Ox took the towels happily and started to wipe his hair with it. A smile of approval appeared on Tohru face as she watches him.

"I notice something, Tohru" Hatsuharu said in a monotony tone. He still wiped his hair but in a slower place. Tohru was caught off by his talking. 'What does he mean?' she thought as she blinked rapidly.

"W-what do you notice, Hatsuharu?" Oh, my! I forgot to bring you another set of cloths! I'm so sorry, let me go get you some-" she turned to walk away but Hatsuharu grasp her tightly on her shoulder. Some of the water on his skirt dripped on her. The ox turned Tohru so she can face him.

"No...It's not that. You are a little more...fast pace then usually. Did something happen today at school?" he asked. He knew he hit something as Tohru breathing got deeper. Tohru looked to the ground and said nothing.

He sighed. "If you don't want to tell me I understand. You just remember Tohru: Be yourself. That's the only thing that will keep you strong. That one thought shouldn't break you." he grinned handsomely at Tohru. Tohru couldn't help but blush and smile. 'Haru just made my day a little better' she thought.

"Thank you" Tohru said quietly. Hatsuharu release his grasp on Tohru's shoulder. Tohru felt as if a great burden has been lifted off her shoulder. He nodded in approval and places his damp towel on the counter. Hatsuharu started for the door which on the other side laid the angry cat and mouse...

"I don't think you want to go in there..." Tohru warned Hatsuharu. The ox turned to Tohru with a strange new look on his face: An evil smile. Tohru withdraw alittle from the smile as if it was too powerful to stand. Hatsuharu place a hand on his hip and started to laugh like a madman.

"YES, I want to go in there. You can't stop me! Did you know I fail my math test because of Kyo? Yeah, he made me fail the test." He thought out loud with a face fill with menace. Tohru inched back alittle trying not to make any sudden movements. She knew it was no other then: BLACK HARU.

"That couldn't be possible!" she reason to Black Haru. "Kyo couldn't have made you final your test...could he?" Nevertheless, Black Haru wasn't listening to her. He already had made up his mind that Kyo made him fail.

"Hey, Tohru...I won't be needing those cloths..." he smiled evilly as he slide open the door and slides the door close behind him. Tohru watch in shock, her mouth was slightly ajar. 'What did he mean by that' she thought.

"Oh hello Haru, what brings you here so late?" Tohru blinked as she heard the voice of the dog. She sighed as she knew they stop fighting...for now.

"Just for payback..." said Black Haru in a dark tone. Tohru heard the under mistaking sound of shifting from the four.

"W-what type of p-payback, Haru?" the dog asked.

"For Kyo, because he made me fail my test" he stated simply nevertheless in a madman tone.

"WHAT THE HELL! I DID NO SUCH THING!" Kyo shouted.

"It could be true...Kyo is kind of stupid at times...okay maybe always" the dog sounded in a matter-of-factly voice.

"Yes, I agree" Ayame agreed. He added a small nodded as a sign of approval to Shigure answer.

"WHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH HIM!? YOU KNOW I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Kyo bellow.

"If you shout any louder the house will fly away" declared Yuki.

"I DARE YOU TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN, RAT BOY"

"Okay, if you shout any louder the house will fly away" Yuki said again but slower. Kyo growls were heard through the kitchen.

"WHY YOU..." He was cut off. Tohru wonder why he just cut off and walk to the door. She pushes the door ajar to see that Hatsuharu's fist in Kyo hand. 'Kyo must been caught in the mix and just in time to see Hatsuharu fist' she thought.(That's not like Tohru...)

"YOU'RE FIGHT IS WITH ME YOU STUPID CAT" Hatsuharu shouted as he continue his assault on Kyo. He punch left...Kyo Dodge it. Ten Punches Right...again Kyo dodge. Then he kicks in mid-air...Kyo ducked. Black Haru face contorted with anger, as he made a nasty right jab at Kyo's mid-part. The cat saw this and stumble back to avoid the attack. Even if he got out of the way of Hatsuharu's punch, the ox still mange to do some damage. What damage you may ask? Haru rip the bottom half of Kyo shirt. Then it came to Tohru what Black Haru meant. She wishes now she couldn't have told Kyo, but at this time Kyo wouldn't listen.

"Y-YOU RIPPED MY FAVORITE SHIRT!" Kyo shouted. Black Haru just cross his arms over his chest and put a victory smile on his face. As Kyo saw this smiled he double on his anger ten times.

He gripped his fist tightly and throws a dangerous punch. "I'M GOING TO WIPE THAT SILLY SMILE OFF YOUR FACE YOU..." Kyo cut off.

"You what?" Hatsuharu ask simply. A mellow look appeared on his face slowly. As if he was a waken from a bad dream. Kyo didn't see this and continue the attack. Before the fist connected, Yuki grab one of Kyo's legs. The cat fell to the ground with a big bang. Kyo laid their in silence as Tohru watch in horror.

"Stupid Cat...I'm going to sleep." Yuki said as he stood up and cross to another door. He slides it open softly, as the muffling sound of his feet bounce off the stairs. Hatsuharu watched after Yuki with a sad look.

"So...why is Kyo just lying there" Hatsuharu pointed wearily at Kyo. Shigure and Ayame laughed innocently.

Later On in Yuki's Room:

"Stupid Cat" Yuki muttered as he lay on his bed looking to the ceiling. A smudged look appeared on his face as he closed his eyes. As he started to drift off to a dead sleep the rat heard a small knock at his door. Yuki eyes widen. Who would bother him at this time of night? Nevertheless he just turned to his side and ignored the knock.

"My I come in, Yuki" a gloomy voice stated outside the door. Yuki again said nothing he just curled up into a ball. He didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment. Nevertheless, the person was rather persisted. The door slided open and Haru appeared. The ox slides the door close and lean upon it as he looks to Yuki with a frowned.

"Is there anything you need, Haru?" Yuki said calmly. He still didn't turn to look at Haru who eyes widen in a little surprise.

"No, but I have to tell you something" he said in a monotony voice. Yuki shifted a little on his bed.

"What is it?"

"It's a plan Momiji and I thought of...to cheer up Tohru..." Haru said. Yuki shifted again as he heard Tohru's name.

"To cheer up Tohru..." Yuki repeated in an almost mutter. "You and Momiji saw what happen today...did you?"

"Yes...But not all of it. I also felt this feeling when I was in the kitchen with Tohru"

"What feeling?"

"Sorrow...So do you want to hear the plan?" Haru looked towards the ground. The silences came again.

After a while Yuki said "Yes".

"It will be tomorrow...The day of the Cherry Blossom Festival. We are going to have a picnic for Tohru. We will be cooking food for her...this time. Momiji's thought it would be a great idea for Tohru's sorrow. All her friends surrounding her...it would be great. But..." Haru said.

"But, what?"

"We can't make her find out...We will need a distracting for half of the day..." Haru said silently.

"I'm going to help you, and also Kyo." He said. 'Even if I have to hurt him' Yuki thought.

"Who is going to be the distracting?" asked Haru. He didn't get a respond from Yuki. Haru looked up and turned his glaze to Yuki. Haru sighed gently, Yuki light breathing only mean one thing. 'He's asleep' Haru thought. The ox amble towards the sleeping rat, he stood there for a while before he turned on his heel and walked out the room.
