Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeello there! I'm back with Chapter Ten, just finished it! Although, I must say I'm not proud of it... but I've already written it twice, so I'm not writing it again.

Oh, right, yeah, I almost got blown away by Cyclone Larry (A category 5 Cyclone - the worst to hit Queensland ever!) yesterday, but it missed me by about three hours and basically devestated a small town called Innisfail, so, people, keep the poor people of Innisfail in your prayers! Also, pray that Cyclone Wati (that's following Cyclone Larry) doesn't hit them as well. Thankies!

Anywho, enjoy n.n! (and don't forget to review)

Chapter Ten; Smutty Comments

Yuki's plan was going downhill. No, it was spiralling down hill at an incredible rate, and needless to say, he didn't like it. It wasn't just the fact that Motoko had been interrogating him about it; there was also the fact that Haru and Kyo were avoiding each other so completely that it was almost impossible to get them together. Okay... so it was impossible because he hadn't been able to get them together since the incident.

And then, there were the annoying rumours that seemed to trace back to him for some bizarre reason. Either that or he was the one who was continuously getting asked, because nobody would ask Haru or Kyo about it. Yuki didn't even know what had happened, and there were quite a few different rumours. Like they'd been caught making out behind the gym, or that Haru had kissed Kyo in class, or Kyo had tried to molest Haru. Personally, Yuki didn't believe any of them. But... it was keeping Kyo and Haru apart, so it needed to be rectified.

As Motoko turned the corner to where Yuki had been standing, staring out of the third story window, she froze. The Prince... was scowling. He didn't have his famous smile on, the prince was actually scowling. But he didn't notice her. Before she could call out his name, he'd stepped back from the window, turned his back to hers and walked away.

Motoko was bewildered. "Yu... ki...?"

Haru wasn't happy, he wasn't black, but he wasn't happy. Something had happened between him and Kyo, and the entire school knew about it, but he didn't. He didn't know anything about it! And, the people whispering behind his back didn't help either... and considering he hadn't had the guts to ask Kyo, it was pretty much a lost cause. The people were getting to him, and he could have sworn that at one occasion after the incident, he'd heard his black side laughing.

Haru twiddled the chopsticks in his hand, looking vaguely around the lunch room, ignoring the chattering Momiji who was pretty happy. Momiji was always happy, no matter what things were said about his often hyperactive ways. And, unlike Hatsuharu, he was a good actor.

"Haru, you're not eating." Momiji said pointing at the noodles that Haru hadn't touched. "You're not hungry?"

Haru shook his head.

"Is it because of the rumours? You shouldn't let them get you down, Haru!"

That was easier said than done.

Kyo had an ingrown tail nail, and he'd discovered early on that it hurt when he poked it... but... honestly, what did that have to do with Haru? Apparently a lot, as his class mates were coming up with all different kinds of smutty explanations for his unfortunate infection, like; "Oooo! Maybe Haru pushed it in when his foot when he was... insert smutty scene here." All in all, Kyo was getting seriously pissed off.

And, to make matters worse, he'd just kicked his foot on the side of the teacher's desk. "FFFFFFFFFFF- OW!" Attention turned to him; he blinked, and stormed out of the room, followed by whispers that contained smutty comments.

It was probably not a wise thing to do.

"Kyo."

Blinking, the cat turned around to face a rather... enraged purple haired rat, whom, by the way, was fighting hard to keep control of his actions and stature. Kyo arched his eyebrow, noting just how tense the rat was, gathered his wits, and took a step back to create distance. "What?"

"What did you do?"

"Eh?" Kyo blinked. Well... in the last twenty four hours he'd gone to the vice principal twice for swearing, skipped out of class, and stubbed his foot. But, why would that set Yuki off?

"What did you do?"

"I don't get it." Kyo replied, creasing his eyebrows in thought. He wasn't given very much time before Yuki lost it, smashing his cousin against the nearest wall. He repeated the question;

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything you stupid rat, get off me!"

Whack!

Kyo was bewildered. If he wasn't mistaken, Yuki had just punched him out of nowhere – and dang, he hadn't even held back!

"Ooooo! Haru! Look! These people are playing Go Fish! Haru, come on, let's join in!"

"No."

"Aw! Come on Haru!"

Haru gave the rabbit a look that basically just told him to back off. Momiji took no offence and just shrugged. The pair had been walking around randomly, considering they'd finished eating their lunch and they were... bored. Haru watched as Momiji bounced into the room to annoy a group of elder students, giving Haru some alone time.

Continuing his trek down the corridor, Haru turned the corner...

"What in the hell was that for?" Kyo screamed into Yuki's face, just receiving a rather... menacing, Akito like stare. Wait... when was Yuki anything like Akito? Had the rat gone freaking mad!

"You ruined everything!" Yuki shouted, his hand tightening around Kyo's collar, "You and that fucking cow ruin everything! This is all your fault! Nothings going to plan and it's all your fault!"

Wait... since when did Yuki swear? Well... everybody loses it eventually.

"Wait, what's not going who's now?" Kyo asked, still finding time to ask incredibly stupid questions in the face of the danger that Yuki was projecting all over the hall. Neither of them noticed the stoic cow that stopped down the end of the hall, listening to all their shouts.

Why did Yuki have Kyo by the collar? Why did Yuki look so angry? Bewildered, Haru started forward, but stopped at Yuki's next comment;

"You complete and utter shit faced moron! Who do you think cornered you and the cow into rooms? Who do you think gave you presents from each other? Because of you, I'll be stuck with Haru forever!"

"Wait... that was... YOU?" Kyo screamed, taking time to grab Yuki's collar in a reflex. "YOU were the one who set Black Haru on me? YOU STUPID FUCKING RAT!"

"Because of you, I'll be stuck with Haru forever!" Those words ran through Haru's mind. Yuki... didn't want him. Yuki hated him. Yuki... wasn't a very nice person. Haru turned around and walked back the way he came.

Yuki and Kyo were to busy arguing to notice.
