I have three things to say this time before I begin, thank you Kaeru Soyokaze! I'm glad you think that my story is the best Haru/OC fiction! And thank you to all my other reviewers too! ((Houseki hands out gift baskets full of Furuba plushies)) THE PLUSHIES!!! ((Steals Haru plushie from sister)) My Haru!!

And Kass's behavior towards Haru in the first part of this chapter may seem a bit bizarre, like how she didn't really react until now. She was so freaked out that she focused her emotions on Kyo, which is why she freaked at him and didn't get super mad at the people that harassed her in the alley.

And finally, YEY!! A REVIEW FROM RILEY-CHAN!!! HOORA!!! ((Houseki throws a party)) Ach! I is very sorry about the kun thing! But I fixed it! ((grin)) And I know the characters are OOC!! WHAA!! But I don't know them good enough to keep them in character. ((sob)) I promise if I do another Furuba fiction it will be better!! And sorry about Kyo! ((another grin)) He's my second favorite, but I felt an urge to make Kass hit him.... Yeah... not sure why though....

Standard disclaimers apply, as always.

After Kass and Haru had calmed down, and they had moved Kyo onto the couch, Tohru suggested playing a game of Dai Hin Min while waiting for Kyo to wake up. (A/N: To anyone who's ever played President, Slave, or anything similar to that, that's what Dai Hin Min is. So cool!)

Though there was some tension between Haru and Kass, the game went quite smoothly. Kass and Yuki kept getting the top spots, as Yuki was a natural and Kass played it all the time in America.

"Ha! I'm rich man again!" Kass shouted. "Fear the wrath of Kass the Great! Muwah ha ha ha!" (Cue odd glances and sweat drops.)

After another half hour of Kass and Yuki kicking their butts, Haru and Tohru gave up. Kyo still hadn't woken up yet, and Tohru was getting worried again. She kept glancing over at the couch with a worried expression on her face. She finally decided to just sit on the arm of the couch until he woke up. Yuki said he was going to go shower. He was still sweaty from spending hours at his base planting leeks. That left Haru and Kass alone in the kitchen.

"Well," Kass said slowly, beginning to feel uncomfortable. "Guess it's just you and me, huh?"

Haru sensed her uneasiness and mentally killed himself. Why did his black side have to go and kiss her? He probably ruined any chance he had had with her. He was getting ready to apologize when Kass suddenly stood.

"I'm gonna go up to Tohru's room. I, uh, gotta write my folks," she said stiffly and began walking towards the stairway.

"Kass," Haru spoke softly. She turned to look at him, then continued upstairs. He sighed and went to call Hatori.

"Why did I leave?" Kass asked herself when she was safely in Tohru's room. "I'm so stupid!" she scolded herself as she fell onto the bed. She ran a hand through her hair, sighing again.

'Why did he kiss me anyway?' she thought. 'He can't like me, can he?' She rolled over on her side. 'Of course not. Even if he did he probably hates me now.'

Haru collapsed on his bed at the main Sohma house. 'She hates me,' he thought. 'She hates me. She hates me.' He smacked himself and rolled onto his stomach, trying to force sleep to come.

(A/N: Don't you hate people like that? People that convince themselves the object of their affections hates them, no matter how obvious it is that they like them back?.... Silly, but I had to force it on Haru and Kass for what I'm planning later, even if it's OOC for both of them.)

When Kyo finally woke up, it was around six o' clock, and he was fuming. He had been knocked out for nearly four hours by a girl. A very small, five foot one American girl at that. And a year younger than him!

He jumped to his feet the instant he awoke, much to the distress of Tohru, and marched up to her room. He kicked the door down, yelling at the top of his lungs: "Fluke! I demand a rematch!" even though his chest still hurt.

"Go away," came the muffled reply from under the sheets of Tohru's (and now Kass's too) bed.

"No!" screamed Kyo. "Not until I get a rematch!" He stomped over to the bed and ripped off the sheets, receiving a very unexpected elbow in the gut from Kass, who was still curled up on her side. Kyo wasn't hurt by the blow, as Yuki's where all much harder, but it really pissed him off.

"Get up, you damn American!" He shouted as he picked Kass up over his head and tried to fling her into the hall. But she had latched onto his arms and he couldn't get her off. "You're pissin' me off, stupid American!"

"My name is Kass, moron," she muttered from above him.

"Whatever!" he screamed, giving up on flinging her and settling for trying to slam her against the walls. She let go and fell to the floor right before she hit the wall, and Kyo slammed his hands against it instead, making him madder.

"Kyo-kun!" Tohru shouted from the doorway. "Don't fight with Kass-san! She's not feeling good right now!"

Kass smiled a little. Not feeling good? She was miserable, depressed, crushed, and tired. And she didn't need Kyo in here trying to beat her senseless.

"Go away," she repeated.

"Not in the mood?" Kyo mocked concern. "Too bad!" He lunged at her again and she just turned her back. Kyo stopped his attack and stared. She wasn't afraid of getting beaten?

"Ugh! You're so annoying! You aren't worth my time!" Kyo stomped downstairs, leaving Tohru and Kass in their room.

Tohru looked about to comfort her roommate, when she heard some one downstairs shout: "No! What are you doing here?! Ah!" She hesitated, then rushed downstairs to find Kyo being beaten by Kagura.

Kass ignored the commotion downstairs, instead she rummaged through her things to find her songbook. She flipped it open to the first blank page and began writing. She wrote three songs, a record for her, before she began to feel better. Then she fished out her CD player and her CD of her hand chosen mood songs. She skipped to her depression group and blasted Yellowcard's 'Only One' until she fell asleep.

No words passed between Haru and Kass until the end of math, when a ball of paper landed on Kass's desk. She looked over at Haru, a frown on her face, and slowly opened the note. It read: 'Meet me beside the building after school' She scribbled back a reply. 'Fine'

On their way to science, Kass pulled Haru aside before Momiji saw them. "I'm sorry I ran away yesterday," she blurted out quickly. "And I'm not gonna bother with any excuses because I didn't have a reason." She quickly turned and rushed off towards class. Haru was about to say something to her when Momiji appeared, eager to start another conversation with his half-German friend.

Kass faked a smile at the rabbit and went along with whatever he was saying. Haru saw his cousin's smile vanish for a moment when Momiji turned around to look at him, then heard him quickly say something to Kass, and his smile returned. Kass looked confused, but Momiji just grinned.

"Huh?!" Kass shouted, receiving many odd glances from the other people in the hall.

After School
Haru waited, leaning against the school building. When Kass came around the corner, he opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to it.

"Let's go do graffiti!" She shouted at him.

Next Chapter:

"It's beautiful!"

"Kass-san?"

"I thought so."

I said everything in the opening author's note so.... REVIEW PLEASE!!! If you do I'll give you more plushies!
