Authors Notes- Eheheheh...I'm so mean...I was going to have Chapter Seven be from Rin's POV, but then when I started writing it, it made more sense to have Haru have a chapter to go with Rin's. Still have no idea where I'm going to go with this. Suggestions are always welcome, but flames will used to cook my dinner. And when Aya says that 'the horse and snake stick together' its referring to an old myth about the zodiac, in which the horse and snake were the only ones that didn't cry at the death of their God.

I couldn't keep myself under control. As soon as he spoke, I ran and threw myself into his arms. He caught me, and spun me around in a circle. He held me so tight, as though he was afraid that if he let go, I would disappear.

He was trembling. Or was I? I didn't know or care. Just the fact that I was in his arms was all that mattered to me. We stayed like that for what could have been an eternity.

Ayame-nii and Mine had long since left the room. Ritsu gently coughed to let us know that he was still there. "Isuzu-san, Hatsuharu-san, lets go. Its getting late, and its around dinner time, is it not? We wouldn't want to trouble Ayame-niisan any further, would we?"

We had barely opened the door, when we were attacked by Ayame-nii and Mine. "Ah, there is nothing like young love! The decadence of youth! If only there was some way to capture it for those whose youth has ended...Ah, don't mind me! Ha-san should be here soon with the car to take you and Rin back, Ritsu. Perhaps we can go and have dinner when he arrives, no?" ugh...that look on Ayame-nii's face, it was purely disturbing. He spends WAY too much time with Gure-nii...I think I have a new found respect for Tori-nii. He must have the patience of a saint to have put up with those two for so long.

Ayame-nii grabbed me from Haru, and held me at arms length. He smiled at me, and pulled me into an awkward hug. He whispered to me, "Rin, if there's anything that I can do for you, tell me. I will be more than willing to help you. After all, the horse and the snake have to stick together, right?" And all this time, I thought Ayame-nii was a fool. Yuki, you have no idea how lucky you are to have Ayame-nii in your life. "But, if you could, could you model for me one of these days? Nothing bright, I promise! I'll find things that you would like." okay, maybe not so lucky, but oh well. "Sure."

Oh. My. God. HELP! Ayame-nii and Mine grabbed me and started dancing about in a circle. Haru and Ritsu were laughing at me as I tried to keep up. That is until THEY were pulled in. It was stupid, and fun at the same time. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. I can't remember the last time I did that.

"Ayame. What are you doing with my patient?" Tori-nii proceeded to hit Ayame-nii's head with his briefcase. Ouch. From the sound of it, it must of hurt. "Ha-san! We were celebrating Rin being my newest model, that's all!" If anything, Tori-nii looked more unamused. "You'll have to wait until she recovers. And until Akito is done having his witch hunt for Isuzu. But I think that may be soon. Something you said to him, Hatsuharu, broke him. He's just been moping about in his room for the past few days, according to Kureno." What? The bastard finally got what was coming to him? Is this some whacked out dream? I must be dreaming. Any minute, I'll wake up.

"Ha-san? Can we all go get dinner together? Then, I promise you can take Rin and Ritchan home. Please?" Ayame-nii gave Tori-nii the biggest puppy dog look I've ever seen. Not even Kisa and Momiji can do one that good. If he could, I bet Tori-nii would have shot Ayame-nii.

"Fine. But no night long meals."

Ayame-nii and Mine grabbed Tori-nii, and dragged him out the door. Ritsu followed them saying "Sumimasen, Hatori-niisan, I know I shouldn't be laughing..." Haru turned to look at me, and reached out for my hand. "Lets go, Lovely Girl."

"I'll follow you wherever you go, but let me put my boots back on first."
