Thanks for all the reviews!! It simply warms my heart...:)

Well, this chap is slightly weird...my brain was scrambled while i wrote it...ive been ill today and drafted it into my notebook while ill in bed. So you know.

Did anyone guess the face in the shadows? Juju didnt. She bet £50 on it being Ayame...(i'll work Aya in as Hatori's boyfriend/lover) Review and tell if you got it!

Disclaimer: i own nothing

Enjoy!!

"Haru…" Yuki was lost for words as he stared at his cousin, his best friend- the one whose heart he may have to break. Haru smiled. "Sorry I had to grab you like that. I'm on limited time- the people Akito had tail me are only busy for a little while. The entire main house is in uproar over some news about Shigure…"

"Why were you being tailed?"

"To make sure I didn't try to see you." There was dark sorrow in Haru's eyes, and silence stretched between the two. Haru wrapped his arms round Yuki's waist, drawing them close together in an intimate hug. Yuki met his eyes, about to speak, to tell him the one thing it would hurt him to hear- when Haru kissed him. It wasn't like the times they'd kissed before- this kiss was sweet, romantic- the kiss of lovers who had all of time. Tears stung Yuki's eyes as he pushed Haru away. "No." he whispered. Haru looked at him in confusion "But I thought"-

"Please don't, Haru! I love you, truly I do, but not in this way. Not in this way!" He brushed away the tears falling down Haru's cheeks like so many shattered diamonds, even as his own overflowed. Haru grabbed Yuki's hand, pressing it to his face as he sobbed into it. Yuki cried in silence, wrapping his free arm round Haru's waist. Haru pulled away roughly, a dark, angry look shining through the tears. He had gone black. "Don't touch me! Don't touch me if you don't mean it! Don't come near me if you can't bring yourself to love me!" When Yuki took a step towards him, pleading in his eyes, Haru hit him. Yuki stared at him with widened eyes. Haru looked at his fist in horror. "Yuki…" he turned and ran down the dark alley, leaving the rat to cry all over again, alone in the cold, empty street. The rain began to fall, and Yuki sat down hard on the ground, his face turned upwards, tears mingling with the icy rain.

He sat alone for hours, curled up and soaking, until he heard distance yelling. Kyo! He raised his head to find his vision greeted by a hand. He took it, and was pulled to his feet.

This chapter really hurt to write, but the next chapter will be worse. I know what I really want to write, but i'm not sure i'll pull it off. So i'll have def updated by tommorrow, but i'm not sure if i'll be as speedy as i have been recently. R&R and i give free tickets to candy mountain!!!
