Heyas! Here's the next chapter. (As if you couldn't tell.) Just so you know…I use slashes to indicate when people are thinking to themselves. //I wonder if they understood that?// All for now.

Disclaimer: I don't think I need to write this again. Just look back at the other chapters and don't sue me, please.

Hatsuharu trotted down the stairs.

"Watch It!!"

Haru looked down. He had almost stepped on a tiny grey rat, who was holding a tiny bag of ice on his head.

"Oh! Sorry!" He lowered himself and sat on a stair to make himself level with Yuki. "Do you need some help? I'd be happy too…"

"No, I'm just not used to going up the stairs when I'm carrying something."

"Why don't you ditch the ice?"

"Because Tohru made it for me, and I wouldn't want to waste it."

"Well," Haru got up and reached for Yuki. "I'll just have to carry you."

"I don't need your help." Yuki sounded slightly annoyed and embarrassed.

"I would think that the rat would like to ride on the cow," Haru quipped.

"Funny." Yuki hopped into Haru's cupped hands.

"So where will it be? Your room?"

"That would be fine."

***

Kyo sat with his back against his room door. He had closed it after Haru left.

"Why does he have to be so fucking flirty all the time?" He said to himself. Kyo wasn't used to anyone flirting with him. (Kagura didn't count because she never tried to be coy about her feelings or intentions.) Not to mention the fact that Haru was a guy.

He sighed and pushed the hair out of his face. Kyo had known Hatsuharu for a long time, and he had known about the weird relationship Haru had with Yuki. Well, one-sided relationship. Yuki never seemed to harbor any feelings of animosity toward the cow, but he wasn't close to him either. Kyo didn't care about the whole Yuki/Haru thing. The point was that Haru obviously didn't have a problem 'doing stuff' with guys. What this stuff entailed Kyo did not want to know.

As for everyone else in the screwed up Zodiac family…Well, all one had to do was look at the 'friendly' relationships between the members. Just Shigure's and Ayame's antics were enough to suggest that… Kyo was pretty sure that almost all the guys he knew were…

"What the hell am I doing?! Why the hell do I care if Haru is a crazy bastard?" Kyo started pacing around his room. //It's not like he's going to jump me or anything. Besides he has a thing for Yuki…// "Bah! Just stop thinking!" //I need to go outside!//

Kyo opened the door to his room to find Hatsuharu right standing right outside it, staring at him with a confused look. "AAH!" Kyo slammed the door closed and turned around in his room.

"I'll just go on the roof…Yeah, on the roof, by myself."

***

"I wonder what that was about?" Haru asked placidly as he looked at the now closed door.

"I have no idea. Stupid cat… You can put me down now by the way."

"Hey, we might as well go all the way…"

"What?!"

"…to your room."

Yuki sighed. "Here is fine. Thank you."

"Whatever," Haru replied and placed his hands on the floor so Yuki could hop off. "I have to get going anyway. Tell Kyo I said bye. I forgot."

"I'll see what I can do." Yuki walked to his room.

Haru turned around and headed back for the stairs. He stopped infront of Kyo's room. "I wonder if it was something I said?"

***

Momiji saw Haru walk down the stairs.

"Hey! How'd it go?"

"Better than expected." Hatsuharu reached down and grabbed one of Momiji's yellow socks off the floor.

"Momiji…you didn't."

"Aww. Tohru didn't mind."

"You can't just go turning yourself into a rabbit every time you come here. Why do you like being a rabbit so much?"

"It's just fun!" Momiji grabbed the sock and put it on. "I might as well enjoy what I am…" He looked down.

"Oh, Hatsuharu! It's so nice to see you" Tohru stepped in from the kitchen. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, we were just getting ready to leave."

"Why don't you stay here for dinner?"

"Yeah! Let's stay Haru!"

"I don't think that's a good idea. I think Kyo's mad at me, and it wouldn't be good for me to overstay my welcome."

"Well, if you're sure," she said uncertainly.

"I almost forgot, I want to talk to Hatori today, so we better go!" Momiji started pulling on Haru's sleeve.

"It seems his mind is made up. Bye." Haru was pulled out of the house.

"Come back soon, we always like to have your company!" Tohru yelled as they left.

***

Kyo saw two people leave the house from his rooftop perch. A tall white haired boy being pulled by the sleeve by a shorter blonde.

"Thank god they're not staying for dinner," he sighed.

"BYE KYO!" Momiji yelled at him from the ground. Kyo ducked to the other side of the roof.

***

"What's his problem?" Momiji asked Haru as they walked down the path.

"I'm not sure. What's your hurry to get back to the Main House?"

"I said I wanted to talk to Hatori!"

"Why?"

"To learn more about Akito!"

"You're not letting this go are you."

"Nope, I want to know more about his problems." Momiji tapped his head. "That way I'll know why and how to help him."

"It think you should stop wondering so much about Akito. Some people just don't deserve friends. (and it's kinda creepy, like you're stalking him.)"

"What? Just because you don't like him?"

Haru grabbed Momiji's shoulders and pushed his back against a tree.

"Don't ever say that! I'm saying that because I don't trust him. I'm looking out for you!"

"Sorry!" Momiji squeeked.

"It's okay," Haru calmed down. "I just don't want you to get hurt like some of the other people in this family have. Watch out."

"I will."

Well…I could keep writing. But I won't (for now) Hope you enjoyed it. Next one soon!
