Authors Note- Thanks sooooo much to KawaiiAyu! She is probably my most faithful reviewer, along with Haruko Sohma. Once again, this ficcy is OOC and AU. Rin and Haru are NOT related in this fic. Hence why I made Kagura, Rin, and Hiro siblings. So there. All the chappys are gonna have a song in them in some way shape or form. This one is called "Stigmatized" by the Calling.

Sohma Hatsuharu had watched his next door neighbor for a long time now.

Sumeragi Isuzu was the only one for him.

But, even if he could confess how he felt about her, Isuzu's sister and brother probably wouldn't care for him being near their sister. He had to admit, Sumeragi Kagura and Sumeragi Hiro were both loving people. They were just a little overprotective.

He had spent the day 'training' at the Karate Dojo that he had been attending since he was a child. Or so he told his mother. In reality, he had been attempting to write a letter to Isuzu. He couldn't really express himself by speaking. Writing was his best chance.

If I give up on you

I give up on me

even god himself

and the faith I knew

it shouldn't hold me back

shouldn't keep me from you

tease me

by holding out your hand

then leave me

or take me as I am

and live our lives

stigmatized

I can feel the blood

rushing thru my veins

when I hear your voice

driving me insane

hour after hour

day after day

every lonely night

that I sit and pray

tease me

by holding out your hand

then leave me

or take me as I am

and we'll live our lives

stigmatized

we live our lives

on different sides

but we keep together

you and I

and live our lives stigmatized

I believe in you

even if no one

understands

I believe in you

and I don't

really give a damn

we'll live our lives

stigmatized

we live our lives

on different sides

but we keep together

you and I

just live our lives

stigmatized

When he got home, there was a letter waiting for him.

It was from Isuzu.

Hatsuharu then realised that Isuzu felt the same as he.

He ran to her house, but no one was home.

Hatsuharu tried to think as to where she could be. She wasn't a very social person, so there wasn't many places that she would go.

Then it hit him.

Whenever she needed to think, Isuzu always went to the same place. The school that they went to. The same tree. Everyday. Whenever they were on lunch break, she always sat under the maple tree.

He tore the paper out of his notebook, and ran to school.

Just as he thought, Isuzu was there.

She had fallen asleep. He paused. Isuzu looked so serene. An angel that had taken a nap before she had to return home.

Isuzu slowly woke up.

"Haru..."

He handed her the piece of paper. "Here."

As she read, a look of disbelief came over her face.

"Am I dreaming? I must still be asleep. There is no way that someone like you could want to be with me."

He sat down next to her, and took her hands in his.

"If this is a dream, it must be a good one, right? But its not. Aishiteru, Isuzu."

Isuzu smiled at him. "Aishiteru, Haru."
