Learning that Tohru chan and Haru kun had switched bodies came a quite a big surprise to me. I really hadn't expected that to be the reason behind their outbursts this morning, but I don't think anyone could have foretold that. It did, however, help to explain a lot. Tohru violence was something to marvel at. It was interesting to see that kuro Haru and hormones don't mix.

I guess that's far from the point. The point is that Tohru and Haru have switched bodies, and we have school in half an hour. This was trouble in a lot of ways. Firstly, the kitchen and part of Tohru's room were a disaster. Secondly was the fact that Tohru and Haru had adopted each other's bodies, which we couldn't explain, because we didn't even know how it had happened. Then there was the matter of Kyo Haru and Shigure all being in severe pain, and of course we would be an hour late unless we sprinted, which I would never have been able to do. I would have burst a trachea or something stupid like that.

"As soon as you get...out of Tohru's body...I'm gonna kill you... you stupid...slow...ugly...fat cow!" Kyo panted at Haru while he sat on the table across the room. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Tohru.

"Are you feeling alright Honda san?" I asked her quietly. She nodded and looked over at her body concernedly. "Maybe now is not the best time to tell you Haru kun, but our class has a math test today."

Haru sat up in surprise, and was probably about to reply when he stiffened and slumped back into the chair, moaning.

"I um... I read somewhere that girls feel pain more easily..." Tohru said quietly when Kyo smirked at the look of pain on Haru's face. Haru nodded numbly and shifted his weight.

"Uh, guys and girl?" Shigure asked from the doorway. "You're really late." He finished. I glared at him for his cocky confidence at a time like this.

We all gathered our things and headed out. Our pace was slow, and Tohru had to help Haru. Of course, we were also trying to arrive after the math test. I looked over at the limping Haru and remembered something.

"Guys, where's Momiji?" I asked. Everybody stopped and looked around.

"Did he leave the house with us?"

"No, I don't think so. Come to think of it, he wasn't in the kitchen either."

"But he came down the stairs with me and Kyo, did he leave when Haru started fighting?"

We all thought about it and then, at the same time, decided to keep walking.

"Never mind."

"He's not worth it."

"Wait! We have to go get him! He'll lose marks if he's not in school, and he'd feel alone all day and... DO you think he's mad at me?" Tohru was hyperventilating at this point, which was weird to watch because she was still in Haru's body. Besides, Momiji had no reason to be mad at her.

Haru winced at the pain in his back again and knelt to the ground.

"Hatsuharu san! Are you sure you should be going to school? Should you go to the hospital? Do you want to go home? If you hug me I can carry you to school!" Tohru said quickly.

"I don't need to go home, but it'd be nice to get a ride." He said, smiling up at her. I felt my blood boil as I realized that he was trying to flirt with her. Kuro Haru.

"Do you know how much attention that would draw Kuro? The last thing the Sohma family needs right now is more attention then we already get!" I was furious at this point, because he was grinning coldly at me. How dare he use Tohru's face to grin at me! I returned a glare and then headed towards home. It was obvious no one was in any condition to go to school that day, and I was getting really annoyed, really fast.

I burst through the door and into the kitchen, where Shigure was on the phone. Probably Akito.

I sat in the corner, rocking, crying.

"Pay attention my little Yuki chan." He said. "You've been a bad little rat. It's my job to keep you in line."

"Shigure, we're all staying home today. It's much too dangerous to go to school today, even more than normally. With their bodies switched... we don't even know why they've switched. We can't go." Shigure nodded but never replied. He said goodbye to Akito, it had been Akito, and hung up.

"Whatever Yuki. Try to figure it out, I'm going out." He said and put on his shoes. He was being to serious...

The others arrived just as he left. As I saw Tohru help Haru inside, I had to turn away. I had feelings for Honda san. I hoped desperately that no one knew, but I was sure that it was obvious. This was so difficult for me to understand. It was hard for me to see her in his body. She was still being so selfless. It hurt me to realize that I would never be brave enough to handle it. She was so much stronger than I would ever be.

"Remember Yuki chan. You're cursed because you're a weak and evil person, and you have to be punished. Make sure you never forget that Yuki chan. You're cursed. You're doomed. For all eternity. You may as well enjoy it." He grinned as he dipped a brush into a small well of ink. Then he began to paint.

Oooooh. Mysterious huh? The little paragraphs in italics are flashbacks. Please review!
