Mit: AHAHAHAHAHA! Reviewers! Reviewers! hugs reviewers

Saphire Rose1 – Thanky!

Kurea Chan – I love Kyou's angsting too! Is angsting a word? O.o It is now.

chocolateriku – You'll find out more about the chopsticks soon! In this very chapter, in fact.

Bob: Annnnnnnd…ACTION!

Kuro Hashi – Ch. 3 – What's with the Chopsticks?

"So…Shia. Looking for these, are you?" Reeve held up the chopsticks, twirling them around in his fingers. Shia gasped. "I'm afraid you won't be removing any more curses. Don't you realize that you can't go messing with what has naturally been placed upon these souls? And you're trying to mess with it. You're nothing without these. Useless."

"But…but Reeve, it's my job…" Shia quietly replied, fear obviously showing in her voice.

"It doesn't have to be."

"These people are suffering. I just want to make them happy."

"Shia, what matters is YOUR happiness. So come with me. I'll make sure you're happy."

"Shut up. Since when do you decide her life?" Haru asks, a gleam in his eye.

"Eh?"

"Another son-of-a-bitch who thinks he's God, are you? Listen. Shia doesn't have to come with you. She doesn't have to stay here either. She'll do what she wants, and you have no right to force her into doing this."

"Haru…" Shia whispers.

"You're not God. You never have been, and you never will be. So I suggest you give me those before somebody gets hurt."

"I don't have to. You have no right to force me into doing this, smart-ass," Reeve replied, gritting his teeth.

"Shut up before I break your neck in half, you bastard!" Haru shouted, lunging out at Reeve. He looked back at Shia, giving her a signal to grab the chopsticks and run before she gets hurt. So she did. She had no clue where she was going. Maybe it was because she was worried about Haru. Reeve was pretty strong…

At the Sohma house…

"Kyou-kun! Time for lunch!" Tohru called.

"I don't want lunch, I'm busy angsting!"

"Um…Kyou-kun? Is angsting a word?"

"I dunno! Just…leave me alone!"

"Baka neko…" Yuki muttered to himself.

Mit: So, the mystery of the chopsticks has been solved. To you readers and Haru, at least. None of the Sohmas know about it, besides Shigure. But what will happen to Haru? Will Reeve return, despite Haru's threats? Why am I asking you all these questions?

Bob: Uh…tune in for the next exiting (not really) installment of Kuro Hashi!
