'I'm so tired.' thought Yuki to himself.

After the bee makes the flower spread it's pollen, comes the Winter. Where the plant must cut back. Yuki himself was so much like the winter it was rather scary at times. Haru smirked to himself as he thought about Yuki, running after Manabe. This was insane, couldn't people understand them even a little? Well he guessed it couldn't be helped. He easily caught up with Manabe and grabbed the crying boy. He hugged Manabe close who fought to get away, all in vain. Manabe finally gave up and Haru moved them so he could look at Manabe.

"Listen to me, because if you don't then Yuki's just gonna freeze over again. We may both like each other. But surprisingly, Yuki's not sure what to do. Because he likes you too. Now I'm an open guy and don't mind sharing. Now here are your options: you can leave right now and never find this again. Or you can come back with me and accept this." Spoke Haru's calm voice.

Manabe looked up in shock, he then gulped, the thoughts going right through his head. He didn't really know what to do. It was all so confusing. But he took Haru's hand and he leaned up, wanting so badly to know what this guy was talking about, he kissed Haru. Now Haru had to admit, he wasn't Yuki. But he wasn't so bad, and besides, Haru was a very perverted guy, this could be kinky. He smirked into the kiss, and he lead Manabe back to Yuki. That was when he saw Kyo guarding Tohru. Ok, this was most definitely bad. What the hell was going on? Yuki walked up to him and told him what was going on. Now if Cow's were good at one thing, it was running away and being fast at it. Even at their great size. Haru ran up and grabbed Tohru's hand, they all linked and Haru ran with them, Hatori was chasing them, and Haru really didn't know what to do. However then he saw an opening, a bunch of school girls, perfect! He ran through the crowd, making sure none of them touched the girls, they easily lost Hatori.

"That was close." Panted Haru.

They were in an alleyway now as Hatori ran straight past them. Well this day was turning out fabulously....not. He sighed and looked to Yuki.

"Manabe...about before..."spoke Yuki carefully.

"It's ok Yuki. He told me everything, besides, he's kind of hot." Spoke Manabe's definitely odd tone of voice.

Yuki was in shock. How could he be so fortunate? However Kyo was definitely onto him and he questioned him, and of course Yuki explained to him what was actually going on. Afterwords, Kyo was in shock. Ok, so now they had two people who knew about them!? This was just perfect. However at last, Yuki kissed Manabe on those beautiful sensuous lips. Finally feeling complete, he leaned against Haru with a sigh. Tohru giggled and congratulated him, however they really did need to find a place to hide and fast, Hatori was smart and he would figure it out. No...no more fighting. They were going straight to the source of all this, Akito...

So they left the place and went to the Sohma- house. Going inside, he walked up to Akito, Haru's hand in one hand and Manabe's in the other. Akito was glaring and Yuki knew that this day couldn't possibly get any worse then it already was, but he could have possibly lost his life that very day. As Akito screamed, Yuki just thought of the whip, however Haru stepped forward with a brave face.

"Just because you can't find happiness! Doesn't mean you HAVE to ruin everybody elses! Get your own life and stay out of ours!" Screamed Haru at the top of his lungs.

It was then that Akito lunged at him, however Haru side stepped him and he landed on Yuki, Yuki was so much shock, he didn't see the whip coming, however Manabe did, and he was struck down to the ground, unconcious...
