The thing you already know but don't want my butt sued for: I do not own Fruits Basket, I only own a Yuki plushie *clings it*
Ah boy, a short Chapter I'm sorry. I wanted to get it up though, and it took me a while due to a convention during the weekend o.o; I hope you like this chapter! Thank you all for your reviews! Though, if I may, I'd like to just make a little comment on a certain review….
B-chan77, it says plainly in the series Haru in fact DOES like Yuki. Hot and sexy factor has nothing to do with it. I know Hiro called Haru a 'fag' in this fic, but Hiro is also a little asshole. So, if your review was made in the same tone that Hiro had, well, I guess we know what that would make you.
Now with THAT out of the way, on with the ficcy!

He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around so their eyes locked, "Kisa-chan… lets not make this any more difficult ne? You know no matter what you tell me, I won't get mad."
She looked at him uncertainly, "You promise you won't hate me?"
He smiled, "Kisa-chan, I could never hate you."
Kisa nodded a little, "Ok… I'll tell you…"
Haru watched the orange haired girl fiddle with her fingers a bit and stare at anything but him. She muttered something out so fast and quietly Haru couldn't hear a word she said. She glanced up at him, and knew he hadn't heard her.
"Tohru-chan, I like Tohru," she whispered, feeling her eyes tear up with her withheld disgrace.
Haru narrowed his eyes a bit, he hadn't expected that one. He smiled sympathetically, "Kisa-chan, its ok, there's nothing to cry about."
In all reality, Haru had felt a dam inside him break and wash relief in. He had been scared she liked him or Yuki, or even worse, Kyou. (authors note: sorry to those who wished for it XD)
Kisa shook her head, "No! It's not ok Haru, Tohru's a girl, and-"
"Hey," Haru put his finger over the babbling girl's mouth, "shhh… Kisa, tell me, do you believe love is ever wrong?"
"Haru, that's not the point, I-"
Haru frowned a bit, "Kisa, yes or no, is love ever wrong?"
Her face furrowed in thought. She had never considered the matter much until now. She read the romance mangas, and thought they were sweet. They were always right in her mind, even when the odds and others said no. Was that how it possibly could be now?
She stared up at Haru for a moment, staying silent. Haru knew that look cried out for counsel, that her mind was as dry as her mouth on what to say.
"Kisa, do you think I'm wrong, or sick or anything because I love Yuki?" his eyes were locked on hers, hoping she would understand him.
Kisa shook her head slowly, "No Haru, I don't."
"Then, why would it be any different for you, Kisa?"
"It wouldn't," she clung closer to him, a child-like habit she never abandoned, though Haru never cared. "It doesn't matter, it may not be wrong, but that doesn't fix that I like someone who will never like me back."
Haru stared at her for a moment, a reflection of his own emotions sitting before him. A sigh escaped his mouth. The boy wrapped his arms around Kisa, and she sunk back into him. They now watched the fragile stars glittering in the sky. They sat silent for a while, both of them wondering how to ease their hearts.
Haru shut his eyes for a moment, notions forming in his brain. Haru knew Yuki liked Tohru, it was obvious, the rat had raved about her to Haru. Haru was Yuki's best friend, so of course Yuki shared his loves with Haru, and only Haru. Only Yuki didn't know it destroyed the poor boy's heart every time he spilled his admiration for her to him. Haru put on his poker face and listened, nodding sympathetically wondering how Yuki couldn't see that his love for Tohru paralleled the love he held for the silver haired teen.
He believed Tohru loved Yuki and Kyou, but he wondered, why did she never show any affection to them? Sure, she was always there for them, always comforting, but it was like she was a sister. There wasn't any real passionate tension between them. Well unless you counted Kyou and Yuki, but Haru just smirked a bit at that, thinking how he would be beaten if he said that out loud.
A small plan started to form itself in the cow's brain. It wasn't much of a plan, but motivation.
"Hey, Kisa?" He said, shattering silence and causing the younger girl to jump a little.
"What is it Haru?"
He thought for a moment, "I've got a plan kind of. If I keep Yuki busy… and you keep Tohru busy, then maybe we'll both have a chance."
Kisa nodded, "That does make sense, and we have nothing to lose I guess."
"Good then," he smiled and held her hand, "we are in this together, we're going to get Yuki and Tohru. We have no school tomorrow… we'll go visit Shigure's house, and go from there."
Kisa nodded, and headed inside, shivering a little from the chilled night air, "Ok. But let's make sure we don't hurt them. I don't want to do that."
Haru was stunned for a moment, as he hadn't thought about that. "Right, of course, that's the most important thing."
Kisa nodded her head once, and headed to bed, leaving Haru to stare at the sky, wondering how they could actually pull this off without destroying anyone's heart.

Sorry to all of you who guessed Haru, Yuki, Kyou, Momiji and the one Shigure (XD) Tohru wins. I hope this didn't make me lose anyone. Please Review!
