A/N:I'm worried that ppl might think that Hatori is OOC, but understand that this is based on my images. I can see him acting certain ways as long as he's given the right push. It's more so that I'm having him act on emotions he's always had there but has never tried to express and remember, he fell in love with Kana after only two months. I can see him falling for this chicka just as fast and a month has passed since they met. Anyways...ON WITH THE MADNESS!

Silence...

Hatori:"What an idiot."

Shigure:"Yeah a total moron."

Cruel Yoru stands alone amongst the cold snow. "What?...I-It could happen..."

Sway Me By Cruel Yoru

"Are you in here Hari! I was wondering if I could borrow your..."

Shigure stood motionless halfway through Hatori's front door gaping at the obscene image before him. his cousin stood as a deer caught in the headlights clasping on to a broom.

"Are you...practicing dance steps?"

Trying to salvage what little dignity he hed left, Hatori quickly changed the subject with a loud clearing of the throat,"What did you want?"

His reply was a long extended finger pointed directly in his face with an outburst of inaudible laughter.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAAA!"

"Shigure...listen..."

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!Heeheeheeeheehehahahahaa!"

"It's not..."

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"

"...are you done?"

"OH If only Aya were here! Hahahahaha!"

Hatori set the broom aside and strode to the kitchen finding something to busy himself with to avoid the humiliation.

"I'm sorry Haa-San, It's just...pffft!"

The doctor's left eye began to twich. Shigure instantly backed off.

"So, how long have you been taking lessons?"

"...about a month."

So he's finally fessing up, no wonder he looks more run down than usual. He seems more cheerful though...

"Well, I can't say I blame you. Look at who you get to spend all that time with...by the way, you never did tell me everything that happened when you walked her home that night."

"I walked her to her home. What more is there to tell?"

"Oh, COME on Haa-san! Details! Details! It's the least you can do for the one who advised you to go for that walk in the first place!"

Setting the kitchen knife down, he gave in. "We talked a bit more about some more books we enjoy, then as we got to her door she asked if I was sure I didn't want to take any lessons, and I..."

"You caved didn't you?"

He picked up the knife and began chopping up some vegetables.

"By the way, why are you cooking? You usually just eat instant Ramen."

"Momigi is comming over today and said he wanted one of my homecooked meals."

"Really! Ah! How long has it been since I've had some of Haa-San's homecooking!"

Hatori smaked his cousin's hand as it reached to steal a peice of some cooked Soba noodles.

"Owie! How mean! You're a big meanie Hari!" Waterfalls of tears showered down his face as he cradled his abused hand.

"It's also mean to steal someone's food."

Completly regaining his composure, Shigure casually explained,"Oh by the way, Yuki, Kyo, Tohru and I are going to be at your dance lessons tonight."

"WHAT!" Catching him off guard, the dog snatched some noodles and raced out the door singing,

"Hatori-Kun looks SOOOO GOOD with his little apron on too!" (A/N:Imagine Hatori-Kun in an apron, more so, a FRILLY one!XD)

He better have been joking...mabye I should skip lessons tonight...

"One, two,cha, cha, cha, One, two, cha, cha, cha, that's it, keep going..."

The dance steps were becomming more complex and Hatori was struggling to keep up. Tohru sat on the bench between the two younger Sohmas with Shigure standing beside them.

"Okay, that was pretty good for a first try..." Despite her age, Ms.Camille was quick on her feet. Tohru stared in awe of the sight before her. Just as they were ending their dance, Marisa burst through the doors panting heavily.

"Marisa, where were you? It's not like you to ever be late." Ms.Camille inquired.

"I'm so terribly sorry! I had to..." For a moment Hatori could've sworn he caught a glimpse of uneasiness in her eyes.

"I had to attend to a family matter. I promise it will never happen again."

"You don't have to apologuise, that's a perfectly understandable reason. Afterall, family should come first."

"Yes..." Her eyes seemed hooded to Hatori. He didn't see the usual brightness in them. He thought it was most likely a subject she didn't want to talk about, not right now at least.

"So what did I miss?" She then noticed the new faces in the room.

"Oh, these are our other relatives and a friend. Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun are our younger, more violent cousins and this is Honda Tohru-kun. This here is Marisa-san, the love of Hatori's li...UGH!"

The dog was silenced by a fist in his gut delivered by a man who was slightly flushed. Marisa didn't catch Shigure's last sentence to Hatori's relief and blankly stared at the two men confussed. The boys gave her a short quick nod and Tohru bowed giving a cheery smile.

"Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you Marisa-san!"

"It's very nice to meet you as well Honda-san." Marisa replied with a glowing smile.

"So how is my student progressing?" She turned to the doctor coyly.

"He's been doing very well. Needs a little work on picking up the pace, but I'm sure you'll whip him into shape." The tiny woman joked.

"Yes Hatori-San! That was so wonderful! I wish I had as much talent as you do!"

"I'm not that good really."

"Not yet anyway. That should change once I'm done with him." She half smirked.

Ms.Camille turned to Tohru,"Would you care to try my dear?"

"Eh? Oh no! Heaven forbid! I-I mean I'm not very good at dancing..." She waved her arms about in a mad fluster.

"Oh, come on now just give it a try...and you young man with the orange hair. Come here please?"

A look of displeasure appeared on Kyo's face. "Eh?"

"Come here and dance with her."

"WH-WHA! NO WAY!" An instant flush came over the boy's cheeks.

"oh, um, uh, I-It's alright, he doesn't have to dance with me."

"NONSENSE! When a man refuses to dance with a young lady, it is considered an insult!"

Nervous eyes darted to each of the Sohma's and back to Tohru.

"Oh, it should be alright. Go ahead and dance with her Kyonichi. You know you want to!" Shigure began playing his tactics on the cat. He knew he wouldn't say that he didn't since it would hurt Tohru's feelings, plus he did secretly want to. Anyone could see it, save Tohru.

"Alright then, and since you're here now Marisa, I'll hand over this young man to you."

The two younger cousins simotaneously thought to themselves, "Since when is Hatori a young man?"(A/N:Compared to Ms.Camille, they are VERY young)

Hatori and Marisa danced as though they had been for years. Poor Tohru was despreatly trying to make the proper steps yet was failing and even stepped on Kyo's foot making a high pitched hiss come from him. After profusley apoliguising they slowly began to improve in their steps. Then a horrible curse interviened. Tohru missed a step setting herself off balance. Hurling towards the ground Kyo had only two options, either let her fall and possibly get a concusion, or break her fall.

He chose the second option.

All with held their breaths as the two hit the floor, soon followed by a farmiliar "POOF!" Sound. Yuki caught sight of a fire alarm and pulled it just in time. A loud ring boomed throughout the building.The sprinklers spat water down on the shocked group sending them in a panic.

"AHH! What in the world!"

"Everyone get outside!" Yuki yelled.

As everyone assembled outside of the building slightly damp from the sprinklers, Tohru had gathered Kyo's clothes while Hatori had grabbed Kyo himself taking him through the back. As soon as the comotion had settled and found there was no fire, they decided to call it a night. Ms.Camille was the first to leave for her home. Tohru flayed her arms about as though she were a bird trying to fly with all her might as she apoliguised again and again to Kyo as they, along with Yuki and Shigure made their way home. Hatori was left alone with Marisa.

"Hey, are you hungry at all?" Marisa's head raised to meet Hatori's eyes seeking for a visible answer.

"Famished."

They went to a western style dinner (A/N:Dennys) and talked a while over the nights strange events at the studio.

"Was it just me or did you see a cloud of smoke where Honda-san and Kyo-san were?"

"Who knows..." Too nervous to carry on that delicate topic, he changed the subject. "So what was the family matter you had earlier? Is your family alright?"

She seemed to flinch at the question but quickly recovered. "Yes, they're alright. I just needed to speak with them of a few important matters."

Hatori acted on his impulse without thinking and rested his hand overtop hers, looking at her with a pained look in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

She gave him a stunned look."Oh no! You didn't! It's alright really."

They continued to eat in silence for a while afterwards.

Very nice Hatori. Bring up something that she obviously doesn't want to talk about why don't you? Why did I even ask that? That's her buisness.

"I'm really sorry that I was late for your lessons tonight." Hatori shot up at the sound of her voice.

"That's alright, I understand."

"No, I really am sorry...I'm sorry because, because...I was really looking forward to seeing you again."

This time Hatori gave her the stunned look. "o-oh..." A long pause filled the space between them until Hatori broke it.

"I was too."

They both smiled warmly to eachother with blushes evident on their faces.

They stood outside Marisa's apartment building hours after walking around talking about everything.

"So you're a doctor for your entire family?"

"Yes and unfortunately, they have a tendancy to get sick often."

"And here I have you taking dancing lessons when you probably don't have time for it. Now I really feel bad." She whimpered, giving him a guilty smile.

"It was my decision to take lessons so don't feel bad. Besides, if I hadn't taken them I would have regreted it."

"Because then you wouldn't have learned how to dance?" She guessed.

"No, I wouldn't have been able to spend time with you." Her face turned an automatic cherry red.

Hatori's heart pounding in his head, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. After a brief moment when her shock had subsided, she complied to him, leaning upwards. Gradually, the kiss grew deeper and Hatori was lost whithin himself until he felt her body moving in closer to his own.

He pulled away abruptly. Letting his mask slip for a split second, she saw his face contorted with a look of sheer terror and fear in his eyes.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that."

"Oh god..."

He looked in her eyes worried of what she would do or say next.

"...you're married aren't you?"

"What? No!No! I'm not married!" He blurted out in a frantic attempt to assure her that wasn't the case.

"oh...okay, heh heh." She let out a shaky chuckle.

"I just...I don't think I'm ready to..." He fell silent unable to find the words he wanted.

"I know."

He found her emerald eyes gazing at him. She looked at him with an inaudiable understanding, he couldn't hear her words but they reached his ears just the same.

"Well, I guess I'll see you at your next lesson." She moved up the steps. He took a step forward.

"I really am sorry."

She turned facing him from a few steps up giving her a height advantage. She leaned down, her face inches from his. She lifted her hand to his face and ruffled his dark hair, pulling it from his face to reveal a golden eye. It seemed a bit dimmer than his other one.

"You know, my mother always said to me that a person's eyes can reveal their soul to you." She whispered.

Did she notice...?

Her fingers lightly traced his brow down overtop his eye which he closed. He felt her warm breath wash over it, then cool lips pursed against it. She pulled away looking in his eyes.

"You have a very good, kind soul."

Raising herself up, she turned and began to walk towards the doors. Hatori thought he had stopped breathing when she touched his eye. He hadn't let anyone touch it since the injury, but when she did, he didn't really mind.

Seeming as though she had forgotten something, she turned to him again.

"By the way...I really love your eyes."

She passed through the apartment doors leaving Hatori at the base of the steps with a warmth spreading across his face, slightly toussed hair and a quiet smile.
