Getting Together

Chapter 4

By:

A Crazy Girl Of Many Names

Sohma Hatsuharu was depressed and angry. Not only did Rin leave him, but she started to date Kureno! It didn't help that Haru still loved Rin, but now something confusing was happening. He was starting to like Hanajima Saki. Maybe it will pass, but he thinks that it is not good. Maybe it's the fact that Hanajima was similar to Rin in a way. Haru doesn't know how to deal with this. He loves Rin, but these feelings for Hanajima are puzzling. Haru doesn't know when they started. Perhaps it was when they had played badminton or when she had found him that day during the week when he had separated from Momiji.

It was the day when Hanajima and Uotani came over and Haru was beating himself up inside. Maybe these feelings for Hanajima would help him get over Rin. But he would never ask her out. Hanajima is very creepy but nice nonetheless. It was close to sundown and the Sohmas, minus Shigure, Hana, Uotani, and Tohru were sitting outside. Uotani and Kyou were arguing about something again, with Tohru trying to stop them. Yuki and Momiji were playing a card game. Haru soon found himself staring at Hanajima.

"Hatsuharu-san why are you staring at me," asked Hanajima.

"No reason," said Haru. Hanajima stared blankly at him as if she didn't believe him. Haru sweatdropped. "Seriously."

"What is your problem? You have been staring off into space more lately," said Hanajima.

"I have a lot on my mind lately," said Haru.

"Love problems it seems," said Hana.

"How did you know that," asked Haru.

"I sensed it and plus Uo asked Yuki about what was wrong with you and she told me," said Hanajima.

Note to self: Revenge on Yuki! "Well, yeah," said Haru.

"I'm sure everything will be fine in the end," said Hanajima.

"Oh and how do you know this," asked Haru.

"Because whoever you loved is being replaced by someone else," said Hanajima.

"I think you are too smart for your own good. And yet you still fail all the tests, just to take the easier makeup exams," said Haru.

"Ah," said Hanajima, seemingly enjoying talking with Hatsuharu.

Well it's now or never. Those were the thoughts of Haru. He was going to ask her out, just to see. "Hanajima-san do you wanna..."

"Go out with you?"

"Er, that. So what do you say?"

"Well, let me ask you something first. You are not just asking me out to spite the one you loved previously."

"I would never do that to anyone, Hanajima," said Haru, truthfully.

"Next weekend then," said Hanajima.

"Yo, Hana we gotta go," said Uotani's voice.

"Later, Hanajima,"

"Goodbye Hatsuharu," said Hanajima as she left him outside with Momiji and Yuki, who were still playing cards.

"Looks like Haru has a date," teased Momiji, "I just hope you don't get lost going to her house." Haru glared at him and left for inside, hoping to maybe bother Kyou.

Meanwhile Hanajima and Uotani were walking home. Uotani thought their was something wrong with Hanajima. She seemed not her usual gothic way, depressed or anything. Naturally curious, Uotani began questioning her.

"Hana, what's up with you? You seem different," asked Uotani.

"I have a date," said Hanajima, simply. Uotani nodded her head as if understanding. Then she snapped her head in the direction of Hana, in shock.

"A date?"

"Yes," replied Hanajima, calm.

"With who," asked Uotani.

"Hatsuharu," said Hana.

"Sohma Hatsuharu, meaning Prince and orangey's cousin! The kid that is a year younger than us and always spaces out or gets lost. And the one who jsut got out of serious relationship," asked Uotani.

"The same one," said Hanajima. It seems they had reached Hanajima's house. "Well, good night Uo."

"Good night Hana," said Uotani, walking off. Inside Hanajima's house, she was greeted by her younger brother Megumi.

"You seem chipper," said Megumi.

"I am not," said Hanajima.

"What are you not telling me," said her younger brother. Normally they have a very close brother/sister relationship and rarely argue.

"I have a date," said Hanajima.

"With a boy," asked Megumi.

"Yes."

"Who is this boy?"

"Sohma Hatsuharu and you can't curse him."

"Sohma...Is he related to those boys that Tohru lives with?"

"Yes, Hatsuharu is the cousin of Shigure, Kyou, and Yuki."

"Shigure the pervert that likes it when you and Uotani go over. Yuki the Prince of your school and all girls fawn over him. And Kyou, Tohru's boyfriend and has a temper."

"Yes them," said Hanajima, "Now, good night."

"Good night," said Megumi. I will have to see what kind of by this Hatsuharu is when they go out on their date.

ACGOMN: Well, not as long as I wanted it to be again, but oh well. Reviews would be nice.
