"Akito!"

Sin smiled and ran over to him. She noticed a taller man standing next to him and blinked.

"Miss Sin, this is my cousin Kureno," Akito said, nodding towards the man.

Sin smiled again and bowed, "Nice to meet you!"

Kureno nodded in reply.

"Kureno, why don't you go pick up our grocery order? I'll be along in a minute," Akito said, looking at Kureno.

He again nodded and walked across the street to the grocery store.

"You look like you're in a much better mood than you were when we first met," Akito pointed out, looking at Sin.

"Yup! I'm not upset today...just a little violated," she answered with a sweat drop.

"What do you mean?" Akito asked, raising an eyebrow.

She sighed, "Well....there was this group of guys at work today who....uhm...well anyway, it got taken care of."

"What? Where are they now?" Akito questioned.

"In that dumpster back there," she announced, pointing down an alley happily.

Akito smiled and sweat dropped, "I see..."

"It was him who did it. The one I was upset about the other day."

"Really now?" Akito responded, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Yeah...sometimes he acts like he dosen't even know me...but other times, he acts like I belong to him," Sin sighed.

Akito grinned, "Well, Hatsuharu can be like that..."

"Yeah I know what you're say-- wait. How do you know his name?" Sin blinked.

"Because, my little cousin is always getting himself into trouble..." Akito replied. "He already has one girl involved...I'm waiting to see if he chooses to involve you as well..."

Sin looked up at him, "Akito...?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kureno made his way to the cashier at the grocery store. "Pick up for Sohma please."

The clerk nodded and walked into the back room.

"Kureno-kun?!" came a voice from behind.

He turned sround and a huge smile appeared on his usually cold face, "Arisa!"

"How have you been?" she asked, taking off her apron and hanging it up behind the counter.

"I'm doing a lot better now," he said with a grin.

"I'm just getting off my shift, you wanna go out somewhere?" she asked with a slight blush.

He would have said yes immediatly if it weren't for Akito, who was looking at him through the store window, his usual smirk on his face.

"I would love to Arisa...but I can't tonight. Can I take a rain check?" he asked.

She was saddened, but smiled none the less, "Sure, just call me here, I work every night now." She began to walk to walk into the back. "Bye bye Kureno-kun."

He sighed when the other clerk returnes with his groceries. he paid her and took the bags, walking out to meet Akito.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Perfect,' Akito thought to himself. He could easily have his revenge on all of them. He could erase Tohru's memory to upset Yuki, and since Kagura was already in a weakened state, he could make sure that she had another "accident", and now he knew for sure that he could even get Kureno if he wanted.

And Haru. Poor, clueless Haru. He had no idea just how unstable he was. He didn't know that if his White half and Black half ever tried to tshe him over at the same time, it would most likely cause him to have a mental break down. And since these two girls had come into his life, that possibility had become greater than ever.

'They'll all suffer like I suffer. I'll make sure of it. No matter what I have to do...'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dear Diary,

I don't think I've ever been so confused. First I see Haru, or what looked like Haru, kissing another girl. Then he almost kisses ME, claiming to have never kissed anyone before. And if Kai hadn't showed up...we would have...

Mizu stopped writing, blushing deeply. She hugged her pillow tightly and grinned, like a little kid would. "He said that he liked me!" she squeaked, rolling from side to side across her bed. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply into her pillow.

"Dear Diary, I dont think that I've ever been so confused..."

Mizu's eyes shot open, "Usagi! Put that down!"

The younger girl giggled as she continued to read. "....And if Kai handn't showed up we would have..." Usagi looked at Mizu, "Wouls have what? Made sweet sweet love like bunnies?!" She asked laughing.

"Usagi! Shut up!" Mizu yelled, blushing deeply. She snatched the book from her sister and locked her out of the room. She then pouted and sat on her bed, beginning to wirte again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dear Diary,

Isn't life screwed up? Damn right it is! What's Haru's deal?! He kisses me, then pretends like he dosen't know who I am, then acte like he knows me again. And now I fand out that he's related to Akito. I just don't know....

Sin closed her diary and stuffed it in her dresser drawer.

"Nee-chan!" Sin looked up, only to be tackeled as she sister ran in. "What's for dinner Sin-chan?!"

"Sorry Rin-chan, we have to have ramen again," Sin sighed.

"What?! Again?! Rin cried.

"I'm sorry, but I don't get paid until tomorrow," Sin stated.

"Me either. I only get paid on Fridays, like you." Rin sighed.

"Tell you what, how about we go out to eat tomorrow?" Sin said with a smile.

"OK! We'll go to some place nice!" Rin agreed.

"Right! But we should really get to sleep. At least you anyway. I'm going to skip tomorrow and work," Sin said.

"I want to too! I want to help out!" Rin whined.

"Well talk about it in the morning. Good night."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day went by quickly. Haru sighed as he closed his locker then yawend.

"Excuse me!"

He turned around as a girl walked up.

"Can you do me a favor? These girls are in my class but they didn't show up today. Would you mind talkin their homework to them for me?" the girl asked.

He looked at the address, seeing that it was on the way to the hospital, and since he was going to see Kagura, he agreed.

"Thank you so much!"

*20 minutes later*

Haru arrived at the appartment building where the address matched. He walked up to one of the doors, which number wa written on the paper, and knocked.

"Coming!" a voice yelled. The door opened and Sin;s head popped out. "What?! You?! What are you doing here?!"

Haru blinked, "Uhm...someone asked to to being this homework here," he answered.

"Oh...well...thank you," she said, taking it from him. "Uhm...you can come in if you want to.

He nodded as he made his way into the small appartment. It was only one room.. There was a large bed against the farthest wall, a sofa, two dressers, a table with two cushons, and a small kitchen.

She set the papers on the table and ploped onto the sofa. "I was on my way out, but I can wait. There's smoethng I want to talk to you about--" She was cut off as the phone rang. "Hello? Oh, hey sis! What? Alright, I guess I'll see you in the morning them. Well go out to breakfast instead. OK, Bye." she hung up the phone and looked back at Haru. "As I was saying, I wanted to ask you why sometimes you act like you know me, while other times you act like you don't."

"I sort of think I know the problem," he sighed, "I think the person you know is my Black side."

"Black side?" Sin raised an eyebrow.

"Sort of like a split personality."

"You have split personalities?"

"Yup."

She sighed, "Well I guess that explains a lot."

He looked up at the clock, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I have to visit my cousin at the hospital before visiting hours are over."

She nodded, "Alright, I guess I'll see you later then."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On his way to the Hospital, he was stopped by a voice.

"Haru!"

He turned around and was glomped by Mizu, "Hey! What are you doing here?"

"I went to visit a friend, but she wasn't home," Mizu explained, "are you going to the hospital again?"

"Yeah," he replied as he stopped infront of it. "I'll come by tomorrow though if you want?"

"Of course! I mean...that's fine." she replied, blushing as well. She then leaned up and kissed his cheek. "See you tomorrow!" she called as she waved and ran off.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mizu sighed as she lay on her bed hours later. "It's been over two hours, she should be home by now!" Mizu picked up the phone and hit the re-dial button. The phone began to ring until--

"Hello?"

"Sin? It's about time you got home!"

"Oh, Hey Mizu-chan!" Sin chirped.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come and sleep over?"

"Sure! Rin-chan is sleeping over at a friends house, I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Hey! If you can, stop by your work and pick up a large tub of icecream!"

"Sure thing! See you soon!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After stopping by her work, Sin began her walk over to Mizu's house, carrying her backpack and a huge box of icecream. She was stopped suddenly as a car pulled up and she was blinded by headlights. She dropped her belongings as she covered her eyes.

After the lights dimmed, she pulled her hands away and her eyes widened as she was grabbed from behind. She struggled until she noticed the man in the passenger side of the car.

"Akito?!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sin: That's all for my chappy! Sorry it sucked, I've had a writer's block lately ^__^". I hope you enjoted it anyway. R+R! The weather's a little chilly here, so flames are welcome!
