Summary Will she ever look over to him, and what will happen when she does


Sohma Kagura… Sohma Kagura…. Sohma Kagura…

Her name rang through his mind like lafidel when Quasimodo rings the bells for the festival in Paris. How couldn't he just forget about her? He was supposed to love Isuzu… yet his mind always finds away to travel towards the boar. Sure it all started when they were younger, during one of their martial arts practices with Kazuma. Kyou and Yuki had come down with the flu so it was just him and Kagura at this particular practice and they were put up together as partners. Haru didn't want to hurt Kagura so decided that it would be best to go easy on her… he didn't mean to turn black on her when the girl had accidentally hurt him.

Black Haru was always someone he knew he could never control and he also knew that he didn't mean to hurt Kagura when he was black because he could remember the hurt he felt when he saw her trembling over the corner of the dojo with the blood tripping down her lip. They were so young that by now she had probably forgotten about it. Yet it was hard for him to… he didn't want to scar her, she had such a fragile body that that one cut almost made him feel like he was forming a scar right down her back of soft and flawless skin. She said when he turned back to white that it was alright and she knew that he didn't mean it. She even gave him a hug. It was a quick hug and didn't show any sign of affection in that way, Kagura's heart had already been stolen by Kyou. Even at the age of fifteen.

Haru would look to her even now and imagine doing the same thing, that was why he usually hated being around her but he can't help it. This was also the reason why he became really protective of Kagura and would make sure that Kyou would never hurt her.
"Haru-chan, Haru-chan?" Her voice, her angelic voice, he could even hear it now. Wait - maybe that was because she was standing in front of him. She was looking into his eyes seeing if there was something wrong, yet there was nothing wrong, his mind was just in another place that was all. He was just busy thinking of her.

He looked up at Kagura, she was standing up and he was sitting on the floor. He ran approving eyes over her. Her brown hair floating around her shoulders, moving in the wind, her upper body covered in a pink t-shirt with three quarter length sleeves and a red rim around the neck and going down slightly with the buttons which were undone. This was short enough to show her bellybutton and flat stomach. Her bottom half was endured by a pair of black jeans and a silver belt. She looked into his grey eyes with her beautiful brown eyes.
"Oh hello, Kagura-nee." He spoke to her finally finding his voice. She smiled and his heart melted.
"What are you doing here?" Where was here again? He couldn't remember, oh yeah they were in the park. He had gone to do some thinking.
"Oh just fancied a change of scenery." He did get a change of scenery and he did seem to fancy what was inside it… Kagura laughed and sat down beside him.
"It sure is a nice day though." The boar said as he looked towards her once more.

Kagura sure had grown up for some reason, even in her sense of clothes, the eighteen year old girl with green dresses and orange cat bags had evolved into a nineteen year old… goddess.

"You can say that again." He was wondering if he should tell her about what he was remembering, it really wasn't healthy remembering the days that you hurt the one you loved. Then it hit him, he really believed that he loved Kagura… but… did he really love her? Was she going to feel the same? Could he tell her what he was feeling for her inside?

Kagura smiled as she turned towards Haru once more, he turned towards her and the same time – and it was then that their lips made contact. Kagura pulled back and Haru saw the shock in his eyes. He felt the shock too as it was unexpected… what was even more unexpected was when Kagura reached towards him once more to claim his lips as her own. She pushed apart his lips with her tongue and reached his own. He couldn't think of anything but concentrate on the movements he was making with his own tongue and felt her arms around his neck. He even heard her moan before they pulled apart and she smiled when she stood up her hand reaching for his bringing him up with her. He walked to the exit of the park hand-in-hand with her and watched her as they went. It was true he loved her… and it appeared that her feelings for Kyou were also gone.
