Chapter Four: Run-in with Rin

Tohru waved goodbye to Hatsuharu at the front door. He stood at the door a few moments and watched her leave with a smile on his face. She walked past the main house and accidentally dropped her bag.

"Oh dear" she replied stopping to pick it up.

A dark shadow fell across her and she looked up in surprise. Standing in front of her was Rin with a frown on her face.

"Oh Isuzu. Hello" Tohru smiled, "It's nice to see you again."

"It's Rin" Rin replied.

"Oh right."

"What are you doing here Honda?" Rin asked, "You don't belong here."

"Well I uh."

"I've been watching you for awhile. You and Haru have been spending a lot of quality time together."

"Yes" Tohru nodded.

"Well that has to stop. I don't want you to see him anymore."

"See him?"

"Don't you think that I know what's going on? I mean you been over his house every weekend. You talk with one another quietly. And he's even serenading you with songs that are ours."

"Serenading me? Oh no" Tohru shook her head, "She thinks that Hatsuharu and I are seeing one another" she thought, "I have no choice. I have to tell her the truth."

Rin eyed Tohru as she sighed and looked at her straight in the eye.

"Rin. Hatsuharu and I are not seeing each other."

"What?"

"I'm helping him with his black problem. You see he told me that martial arts wasn't helping so he figured that playing music would be better. So I have been singing with him. Like a duet."

"You mean, you're not?" Rin looked at her with a sad face.

"No" Tohru smiled and shook her head, "So you don't have anything to worry about."

"I see. Very well then. I would appreciate that if you didn't tell Haru about this" Rin walked past her with her head down a bit, her long dark hair hanging in her eyes.

Tohru turned around and watched as she began to leave.

"Um. Rin!" she called.

Rin stopped and turned her head slightly.

"You should know that Hatsuharu hasn't forgotten you."

Rin's eyes rose a bit.

"In fact he tells me that the songs we sing always remind him of you and that he's not giving up on you guys, even if you have, he never will. He loves you so much."

Tears began to form in Rin's eyes as she turned her head back around.

"Haru" she whispered, "You should go home Honda" she replied then continued to walk away.

Tohru smiled a bit then picked up her bag and walked to the gate unaware that a pair of dark blue eyes were following her every motion. Akito had watched the confrontation and was frowning now at the words that had come out of the young girls mouth.

"So. She's still meddling" he replied to himself as he turned from the window.

**********************************************************

When Tohru arrived home she prepared dinner and the four of them sat down. Kyo ate his dinner in a hurry and Tohru talked with Shigure about the different things that were happening at school. Yuki was silent once more. He watched Tohru with a sad expression on his face and angry thoughts in his head.

"Damn that Haru" he thought, "I am going to talk to him about this on Monday. Can I wait that long? Sure I can. By that time I'll be so mad I might explode, but still I have to be calm about this. However either way I will finally find out the truth from him."
