Hey people! I be back! And hurricane season is almost over! Whoopee! No more evil hurricanes trying to kill me!

Also, one of my friends (Christina) said I was pathetic, that I had written one of those "get the guy" stories. That's not what this is. If I could choose an anime guy, it would be Vash! (As some of you may know, I adore him! Whee!) ((huggles Vash plushie)) I just wanted to write a Haru romance and was too lazy to come up with an original character, so I modeled her after me. I REPEAT! THIS IS NOT A STUPID "LET'S-PUT-OURSELVES-IN-THE-STORY" FICTIONS!!! I'M JUST LAZY!!!((huggles Vash some more)) The same friend also said that it was impossible for a girl my size to knock out grown men. I laughed in her face and proved to her that pressure points don't need to be hit hard to hurt someone. (I poked the point on the back of her neck and she shouted ouch really loud! It was funny!) Jeez, she likes to criticize me.

And those of you who were concerned for my other friend, she's fine! (thank God!) Her house is on a REALLY high bank so the flooding didn't even touch her! Hoorah! ((does a dance))

Standard disclaimers apply. (as if I actually owned the series. I wish.)

Kass slowly made her way down stairs. Kyo was rushing upstairs to his room and met her halfway up. They had somehow managed to become friends over the last two months, even though an occasional disagreement popped up every now and then. (A/N: see chapter six.)

"What's with you?" he asked, seeing her depressed expression.

"Go screw yourself," she mumbled.

"Hey, what's your problem?! I was just showin' a little concern!" Kyo quickly defended.

Kass looked back over her shoulder, and said quietly, while glaring, "Cramps." She continued downstairs.

"Tohru, do you have any pain killers?" Kass asked as Tohru rushed around the kitchen.

"Um, yes! There's some in the cabinet in our bathroom, Kass-kun," Tohru said, looking at Kass knowingly.

"Thanks," she replied, and started back upstairs.

(A/N: Oh man, I hate that time of month. Ugh. Poor Kass, but I need her to be irritable this chapter and this was all I could think of thanks to the pain in my back! Sorry....)

Kass slid into her desk and groaned. The painkillers had worn off faster than she thought. It was only one o' clock. She let herself fall forward and her forehead slammed against the wood. She made it halfway through the class without being noticed, then suddenly a wad of paper hit her on the back of the head, bouncing off onto the floor.

She slowly picked her head up and stared at the paper. Then turned and looked at Haru. Then back at the paper, then at Haru again. Finally, she picked up the wad and unwadded it. It was chibi Kass (of course) doubled over in pain being laughed at by floating chibi heads.

She glared at Haru, crumbled up the paper, and chucked it at the trashcan in the back of the room.

Haru slipped into the house. He hadn't gotten lost today either. He headed into the kitchen and pulled out a pre-made sandwich. Hatori was talking in the next room.

"-and since Shigure doesn't have a car, I have to take Kass to the airport next week," Hatori was saying to whoever was on the phone with him. "No, I can't....No..." He sighed. "Bye." He hung up.

"Kass is leaving next week?" Haru asked.

"You didn't know?" Hatori said, coming into the kitchen. "She was only staying for two and a half months."

"They kept saying three." Haru informed.

"Well, she was going to stay for an extra week, but her grandfather has developed cancer again, and she needs to leave as soon as she can to see him."

"Oh," Haru muttered.

Hatori sighed again. People just kept calling. He hadn't had time to get any work done. He was tempted not to answer, but he gave in. Before the phone even reached his ear he heard someone yelling on the other end: "Hey, Hatori! Can I talk to Haru?!"

"He's not here, Kass."

"Oh... Well... Where is he then?!"

"I don't know. He's out somewhere with Rin." Hatori massaged his temples as Kass bombarded him with questions about Rin. "Look, I have a lot of work to do and-"

"Fine! I'll ask Shigure!" Hatori heard a click on the other line. He placed the phone back in the receiver and turned to head back to his office when the phone rang again. This time he ignored it.

Yuki entered the kitchen to find Shigure and Kass deep in conversation at the table. Shigure was grinning, while Kass was frustrated and confused. That tended to happen if you talked to Shigure too long.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing!" Kass shouted quickly, dashing off. Shigure just grinned.

"What was that about?"

"Oh, nothing." His grin widened.

Shigure yawned and exited his office. His muse had suddenly hit again and had kept him up a few hours later than usual. "Hello, Kyo-kun," he yawned, heading towards the kitchen.

"Don't go in there!" Kyo shouted at Shigure. "She's homicidal!"

Shigure seemed confused for a moment, then realization hit, and his grin returned. He smiled and went back to his room.

When Yuki returned from his base the next day (that day being Sunday), he found Kass and Tohru squealing on the living room floor. Nearby was Kyo and a cat.

"They found me again," he growled as the cat rubbed against him.

Tohru and Kass had been playing with a kitten that had wandered in after the adult.

"Isn't it sweet!" Tohru cooed as she picked up the kitten.

"It's adorable!" Kass cried as Tohru handed the small cat to her. "Can it stay here?"

Shigure would have said no, but he could not refuse such cute pouting faces. "Very well," he sighed, surprising Kyo and Yuki.

"Yey!" Kass shouted, rubbing the little animal behind the ears.

Next Chapter:

"Oh! Oh! I know!"

"I'm leaving in a week."

"No! It's a sign of the apocalypse!"

Shwoof! That's a strange sound... anyway, I hope you all enjoyed it! My muse appears to have abandoned me again, so I'm writing with writer's block. Curse my muse! I mean

Here! ((chucks plushies at reader people who reviewed)) cuz I forgetted to give you wonderful reviewers plushies last time, you get double plushies! But not my Vash! Or my Kuroneko! (the black cat the appears in every episode of Trigun) But you can have all the others! ((chucks more plushies at the people))

And I was planning on bringing Rin into this story, but since I haven't read the manga she's in, I can't put her in cause I have no idea what she even looks like. That really sucks cause I really wanted her in this chapter. Oh well. Anyway, I can't update like magic like when I first started this story anymore. My school work is getting harder, social life more complicated, etc, normal teen stuff, etc. So I can't write as often. But I will finish this story if it takes me three years! (I hope it doesn't)
