Messages To Those Who Reviewed:
BakaDen: I'm glad you liked this chapter! I remembered how in your first review, you mentioned that you hoped that more cuteness would come in the near future. So, that's as cute as I could write. Spare time is mostly what I write on as well, so it seems we have a lot in common. I'm glad I didn't offend you by writing the story title wrong. I hate how somehow, I always seem to mess something important up! XD
Love-Of-Beheading: A lot of people seemed to like the purring part. I was hoping everyone would. Thanks for reviewing! I almost have enough reviews on this fiction to beat the review number on my FMA fiction! Yay!
Kitsune (Yuki Fanfreak): It surprised me that I could actually write a cute fiction! I'm going to finish this story even if it kills me! Not enough Kyo X Haru fictions are complete.. I'm sorry I upset you! I actually kinda upset myself with that part as well.
((laughs for about 20 minutes then stops)) Alas! I'm not the only one who has kawaii attacks!
Asrais: I'm very happy to tell you that you have a very good taste in music. I listened to "Iris" at least 20 million times before I started writing the chapter. XD By the way, youre name, Asrais, it's awesome!
Well.. Here it is!))
- Chapter Four -
((Haru's POV))
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool. Everyone's got their chains
to break, holding you. Were you born to
resist or be abused?
I don't know how long we layed together in silence, but it didn't seem like long enough. There was a loud knock on the door followed by Shigure's annoying voice calling,"Haru, Hatori called!.. He says you need to get home.. Now!" I sighed in frustration. I glanced over to Kyo to see him glaring at the door. I smiled. He was so cute when he was mad. "I guess I gotta go then." I muttered as I started to get up. "Will you come back tomorrow?" He asked before blushing and looking away. I grinned. "Sure." was all I said before leaning down to give him one last kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow." I promised, walking out of the room. I looked back once to see him staring at me. A light blush painted across his features. I flashed him a smiled, then closed the door behind me.
Is someone getting the best,
the best, the best, the best of you?

I walked by the room I'd last seen Yuki and Tohru in and didn't care to look inside. I was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice calling,"You better not run off alone and get yourself lost!" It paused. "I'll go with you." I turned around to see Kyo dressed in his normal clothes, smirking at me. "You sure?" I asked as he slipped on his shoes. "Yeah." He stated. "With your sence of direction, you probably end up lost, again.. And I for one, do not wanna waste my summer looking for you." I had to smile at him. He of course, reacted by grinning back at me. His dark crimson eyes glowing with contentment. We left the house just as the rain stopped pouring. I was glad, since the rain might make our walk home a little miserable.
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head,
without your noose. You gave me something
I didn't have, but had no use.
"So.." I stated, trying to start a conversation, since the walk from Shigure's to Sohma house was long. Even if you did know where you were going. "You purr?" I asked as the memory of awhile ago returned to me. He glared at me and I laughed. He started to blush very dark red. He continued to glare daggers at me until I spoke again. "Don't worry.. I won't tell anyone.." He still glared, but it softened a bit. "It was cute." I stated simply, making myself blush for sounding so stupid. "Cute?" He asked, dumbfounded. "Yeah." I answered. I couldn't help but ask my next question. "Do you hiss too?" He punched my arm and was about to yell when I quickly responded. "I'm sorry.. I was just kidding!" I apologised as I put my arm around his shoulder. "Do you moo?" He asked, smirking. I guess I deserved that one.
I was too weak to give in.
Too strong to lose.
My heart is under arrest again.
But I break loose.
We reached Sohma house too soon. We'd finally started a conversation that both of us could stand. Something about Yuki and fighting.. I wasn't listening though. I was too busy staring at Kyo. His lips curled into a small smile as he spoke about someday beating the rat. His cheeks held a light blush because of my arm around his shoulder. We came to a stop at the front gates. "Well.. See ya.." He mumbled. "See ya." I said as I quickly stole a goodbye kiss and turned to leave. He grabbed my arm, stopping me from leaving. I tuned to him, only to have him attack my mouth with a soft warm kiss. "Bye." He stated. "Bye." I repeated before turning around again and walking to the house.
My head is giving me life or death,
but I can't choose. I swear I'll never
give in. I refuse. Is someone getting the best,
the best, the best, the best of you?
((Kyo's POV))
The walk to Shigure's wasn't as lonely as I'd expected it to be. My cheeks were still burning from the kiss I'd stolen from Haru. I smiled - actually smiled, at the thought of the ox. Everything had happened so fast. I couldn't believe it'd only been a day. In one day my heart had been broken, then fixed, I'd fallen out of love, and right back into it. Only this time, it was returned.
Is someone getting the best, the best,
the best, the best of you? Has someone
taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel.
You trust, you must Confess. Is someone
getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I arrived home, soaked from the rain that decided to start pouring again halfway through my trip home. All the lights in the house were off except for mine. I walked upstairs, dripping all the way. I entered my room, changing into the clothes I'd worn while Haru was here and flopping ungracefully onto my bed. I put my face into my pillow. Taking in Haru's scent, since he had layed on that side of the pillow for how long was it? He glanced over to his clock. 9:00 pm.. Haru'd been here since 4:00... 'Wow.. He was here for a long time..' He thought. 'Hatori probably thought he got lost again.'
Oh.. Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel. The life,
the love you die to heal. The hope that starts.
The broken hearts. You trust, you must confess.
((Haru's POV))
When I entered the house, I was tackled by Momiji. "Where were you?" He asked with his usual smile. "At Shigure's." I stated, slipping on my mask of emotionlessness.((A/N: very long word)) "With who?" He asked, finally getting off of me. I thought for a moment. 'Should I really tell him?' I asked myself. He stared at me for a moment then grinned slyly. "You were with Kyo, weren't you?" He asked. I stared at him in disbelief. "How'd you?.." He grinned. "I knew it!" He paused for a moment then added. "I see the way you're always looking at him.. And your lips look swolen.. Like you been kissing.." Damn, he was smart. "Don't worry." He stated. "I won't tell anyone!" He started bouncing up and down excitedly. "How much candy have you had?" Hatori asked as he entered the room. Momiji stopped bouncing and answered,"Only a bag."
Is someone getting the best, the best,
the best, the best of you. Is someone
getting the best, the best, the best,
the best of you. I've got another confession
my friend. I'm no fool.
((Kyo's POV))
I glared at Shigure who had just randomly decided to barge into my room and start questioning me about Haru. "What'd he want?" He asked in his ever present annoying voice. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" I asked back. He paused for a moment. "Nope." He answered. I growled. Og course, he wouldn't notice that he was making his deatrh bed bothering me at 9:30 pm. "What'd you guys.. Do?" He asked. "Get out!" I yelled as I charged toward him. He yelped and closed the door. I disn't expect him to close the door so fast, so I ran head first into it. I heard him laughing in the halway. 'What an idiot' I thought as I opened the door and began chasing the stupid dog.
I'm getting tired of starting again,
somewhere new. Were you born to
resist or be abused? I swear I'll never
give in. I refuse.
It was now 10:00pm. I'd wasted ten minutes chasing Shigure, five minutes running into doors, five more minutes beating the crap out of the stpid dog, three minutes explaining the noise to Tohru, who I'd woken up with my yelling, and seven minutes listening to Shigures lame apology for slamming doors in my face. No one but I knew why I kept glaring at Tohru. I eventually had to apologise for it. It refuled my anger that she didn't remember kissing the rat in front of me. I guess she figured that I wouldn't mind. I didn't need her though.. I had Haru. Wait, what was I thinking? Haru wasn't mine.. Was he?

((Haru's POV))
After an hour of lecturing from Hatori about comming home on time, I was able to go to bed. I entered my room and turned on the light. I opened my closet only to be scared half to death by sugar high Momiji jumping out of the closet with a loud "BOO!" I jumped back at leat five feet. He started laughing loudly. "You should have seen the look on your face!" He laughed. I sighed and told him to leave so I could change. Once he left, I locked the door to make sure I'd have have no more surprises.
Actually.. A lot of things had surprised me today. Not in the Momiji jumping out of my closet surprising, but a simple unexpected surprising. For example, Kyo actually excepted my help. That was unexpected. And him purring when I kissed him. I laughed quietly. And of course.. Him kissing me before saying goodbye. That was both surprising and a dream come true.

I guess I'd never noticed how close Tohru was getting to the rat. Or how Haru was slowly slipping away from him. I'd never thougt that I'd end up going to the ox for help. Especially help with my emotions. I'd never thought about what would happen if someone was there for me when Tohru rejected me. I mean, I'd thought of Tohru rejecting me, but I could never imagine living after it. I guess I owed Haru more than a walk home for what he'd done for me. I don't think I could've gotten through today without him.
Is someone getting the best,
the best, the best, the best of you.
((A/N: Could someone please tell me what Noose means? It's one of words in the song "Best Of You". When I wrote it I was thinking,"What in the world does this mean?"
I was hoping I'd be able to stick Momiji in the story somewhere. He's my.. Third favorite character!
Anyway, I don't know what song I'll use for the next chapter.. Feel free to request a song! If it fits the story, I'll use it!.. Of course I'll mention to everyone that the song you picked was requested by you. If that makes sence.
Yes, it's summer in my stroy... Simply because it's summer right now.. It was also 9:00 pm in my story because it was 9:00 pm while I was writing it.
Well, that's it! Please review and tell me what you thought!))
