'Where am I?' Haru thought to himself as he turned another corner. He had hoped to get to Shigure's house before it got dark, but it didn't happen. So here he was, walking aimlessly along the darkened streets. 'And here I thought fI couldn't get any dumber...'

"Oi! Haru!"

Haru turned around to see a girl with long, black hair and shiny black eyes, which he knew were contacts, running towards him.

"Oh. Hi, Leah," he replied grimly.

Leah noticed the look of distress on his face. "What's wrong? Lost again?" She smirked.

"Nah. I'm just wondering around because I'm bored..." Hary turned away and began walking again.

"Well in that case, 'tori wanted you to come back home. If you'd like to go to Shigure's instead..." She grabbed his arm and led him down the street.

A few minutes down, Haru faintly heard sniffling coming from the woods. He stopped and started to head that way.

"Huh? Ano, Haru? Where are you going?" Leah yelled after him.

Hary ignored her and continued to run. Before long, he saw a little bit of orange hair behind a tree. 'Kyo?' He looked behind it to find the feline asleep. His face was tear-streaked and he sniffed every so often. Haru's eyes softened as he sat down by the cat.

"Hm? Haru?" came Kyo's drowzy voice.

"Are you okay?" Haru stopped himself before his hand got to the orange head. 'What was I about to do?'

"Of course!" Kyo snapped, glancing at Haru with tired crimson eyes before picking himself up and walking back to the house.

"Uh, Kyo?"

"What?"

"I don't have cat-eyes like you..." Kyo thought he heard a bit of laughter in his voice. He just sighed and grabbed Haru's arm.

A tingling sensation ran thru Haru's body as he let himself be pulled out of the woods.

"Why did you come, baka ushi?" Kyo snorted. "To see that kuzo nezumi?"

"Well..." Haru frowned. for some reason, he didn't feel interested in 'the prince' anymore. Actually, he hadn't been even thinking about Yuki at all. The one that's really been in his dreams is--

"Oi! We're here." Kyo let go of his arm as he shut the door behind them and went up the stairs. Haru's gaze followed Kyo until a startling voice resounded in his ears.

"Ah! Haru! I didn't know you were coming! Ano...I hope I made enough food..."

haru smiled at the worried girl. "It's alright, Tohru. I wasn't that hungry..."
