A/N- sorry I haven't updated more...really busy with my other story, but I was thinking of taking one off anyway. Ok! Here is the next chapter of NAHC!
~*~*~*~
I rolled over in my cot. It stunk like shit, but I had suffered worse on my training trips. I did a back flip out of bed, and got dressed before walking outside. Perfectly happy, I gazed up into the still-dark sky.
This was where I was supposed to be. Out in the open, free, wild. There was only one thing missing.... At Shigure's house there was always the roof to go on. I missed the height, the relaxing slope, and the cool breezes that only I could enjoy.
I cast my eyes around, and finally rested my eyes on a small cabin. That was where the 'warden' lived. I smirked. She was supposed to be all-powerful...well...we'll see about that. I flashed over to the cabin, and noiselessly leaped on the roof.
He sighed contentedly. There it was. The final puzzle piece. The cat inside him stretched out, then curled into a ball, and started to sleep. Kyo's own eyelids fluttered closed, even though he was totally alert. He knew nobody would be up any time soon. He was told that everyone woke up at 4:30, and it couldn't be more than 3:00 now.
He snapped his eyes open as he heard the capers start to wake up. What was going on? He was supposed to have an hour and a half left! He flipped off the roof, and ran back to his tent. Sure enough, the campers were waking up. Everyone except Haru. He saw a huge kid lumbering over to Haru's cot. The kid smirked, and raised a fist, knocking Haru out of bed. Haru's eyes instantly shot open, with the hard edge to them Kyo knew so well.
Black Haru stood up, glancing around the room until his eyes fell upon the boy who had hit him. He was still smirking. Well. We'll fix that. His fist flew out, and connected squarely with the boys' jaw. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Haru screamed, "ANSWER ME!" He picked the boy up, and kicked him out of the tent. "YOU THINK YOU CAN ATTACK PEOPLE?! WELL YOU PICKED THE WRONG PERSON TO ATTACK, YOU M***** F**KER!"
He kicked the boy again, before Kyo decided it was time to intervene. Stepping in front of the boy, he knocked Haru back a few feet, and regained his neutral fighting pose. He motioned to the other boys to gather up the boy who first punched Haru. Haru was slowly turning white again. He blinked a few times, before turning his blank expression on Kyo, before asking, "What happened...Why am I outside?" (Kyo face faults)
What seemed like the ringleader of the group stepped forward, an expression of awe on his face. "YOU defeated THUG? Whoa, man...no offense, but you seem really unthreatening. It was like you were a totally different person!" "Yea, he does...his personality is split. When he goes crazy like that, we call him 'black' Haru. Right now, he's white." Kyo explained, a touch of impatience in his voice. "Just like his hair!" another kid laughed, and Black Haru reared his head again. "Whoa, calm down, man. Welcome to the gang, Two-Tone!" shouts of "yeah!" and "Awesome Double T!" were heard from the group of kids heading for the food line, Kyo in tow.
Yuki and Tohru finished their meager breakfast, and stood apart from the group, shovels in hand. They were digging side by side. Finally, Tohru spoke up, saying, "Yuki...this is like working in a garden. Even though the outside is hard, the earth underneath is soft and vulnerable. Just like the people who work it." He looked up at her in surprise, and then smiled. A true smile, not a cold prince-like one. Then he nodded. No matter how long winter was, there was always spring. There was always Tohru.
A/N-ok! There is my first little Tohru/Yuki moment so far in this fic! R&R please!
