Sorry it took me so long! And this is a fairly short chapter... sorry about that too! I hope you enjoy this new one!

"The endurance run is tomorrow!" Tohru said cheerfully.

"Basically hell on Earth…" Arisa muttered.

"What do you mean Arisa?" Sora asked. They were sitting in class, waiting for the teacher to come.

"The endurance run is a very painful experience… nothing to be excited about." Sora sighed.

"Sounds great." Arisa nodded.

"Don't worry Sora. I will be there right besides you," said Saki. Sora smiled. However, Sora was sure it wasn't going to be fun.

The next day Sora was sitting under a tree, waiting for the endurance run to start. Tohru was beside her. "Where's Arisa today?" Sora asked.

"She decided this would be a good day to skip." Tohru explained. Sora laughed gently. That was when Yuki came over. Sora couldn't help but blush when she saw him. This was the first time since the kiss that they had actually met face to face.

"Yuki, are you sure you can do this?" That was when Sora noticed it. Yuki was very pale. He looked horribly sick.

"Don't worry," Yuki assured.

"She's right. You look really sick." Sora put in. Yuki looked at her, and both of them blushed. Tohru seemed to be very curious, but said nothing.

"I can't leave. If I did that stupid ca…" He stopped and changed it quickly. "That stupid jerk wouldn't stop bothering me." Sora saw Kyo, hissing at Yuki.

"Are you guys having a race or something?" Sora asked.

"Yes, unfortunately."

"He knows he's going to lose!" Kyo shouted.

"You should probably just ignore him." Sora advised.

"I should, but after a while he just becomes too annoying to ignore."

"Oh yeah?!" They would have continued to argue, but the teachers interrupted to announce that they were starting the run. Sora and Tohru went into the middle of the crowd of girls where they found Saki.

"I shall try my best." Saki said, not showing very much confidence.

"We can do it!" Sora said encouragingly. When they started, Sora ran, and Saki fell. "WHAT?!"

"This is as far as I can go…." Sora wasn't sure what to do next. Either burst out laughing or keep running. Tohru seemed to have genuine concern for Saki.

"Are you sure?"

"We need to keep running." Sora butted in. They didn't seem to pay attention. Frustrated, Sora kept on going.

After a couple minutes, Sora managed to keep up the pace. That was, until she saw him. It was a boy, sitting in the grass, with a very unusual hair color. It was black and white. Curious, Sora walked over to him. "Hi." Sora said. The boy looked at him.

"Are you Tohru Honda?"

"Actually, no. My name is Sora Yoshida." The boy's eyes widened, but he said nothing. She heard someone else come from behind, and Sora saw Tohru. Tohru had a frantic expression on her face. It immediately went away once Tohru saw the boy, and she looked slightly embarrassed.

"Hey Sora… I thought… he was an old man…"

"No Tohru… he isn't." There was a very awkward silence.

"You wouldn't happen to be Tohru Honda?" The boy asked.

"Actually, I am."

"Then she can go." The boy said, looking at Sora.

"WHAT?! HOW RUDE!" Sora said, shocked at the boy's behavior. The boy just gave her a blank stare, like he couldn't understand what was wrong. Angry, she started walking away, when suddenly two blurs blew passed her. "What was that?" Sora thought. She then heard a loud thump. Sora looked over and saw that the two blurs had actually been boys. She then realized they were Yuki and Kyo. Kyo was on the ground, fury plan on his face. That was when Sora saw it. Kyo had tripped over a strip of rope, obviously put there on purpose.

"Hello Kyo." The boy said, coming into view.

"Haru?" Yuki said, stunned.

"YOU JERK!" Kyo shouted angrily.

"I wanted to see you Kyo. It's time to fight."

"I don't want to fight you. You just interrupted my race with Yuki. Get lost." Sora couldn't help but notice that Haru looked like he was getting angry, even angrier than Kyo.

"Um Kyo… you should probably fight him," said Sora. It seemed they didn't realize Sora was there because they gave her a surprised look.

"You should probably keep going." Yuki told Sora.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Haru and Kyo are just going to argue." At first, Sora was about to leave, but then something she suddenly felt like she shouldn't.

"I'll stay, if you don't mind." Sora saw that Yuki was still pale. "Yuki, are you okay?"

"Yeah… I'm just fine." Sora put her attention back to Haru and Kyo. Now they were actually brawling, and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Tohru asked, deeply concerned.

"It's best that we don't get into this," said Yuki. "They won't listen." Yuki suddenly started coughing and fell the ground.

"Yuki!" Sora cried out as she knelt down beside him. "What's wrong?" Haru and Kyo stopped and noticed Yuki on the ground. Haru raced over.

"Yuki, you know you aren't supposed to do a lot when you're sick…" Haru said quietly.

"How do we get him back to the school?" Sora asked urgently. Haru and Kyo looked at each other, and Sora thought they were silently arguing. Kyo then looked at Sora.

"Sora, go back to the school." Kyo said rather harshly.

"But Yuki-

"He'll be fine!" Haru said calmly. Sora sighed.

"Okay…." She slowly walked towards the school. When she walked for a bit, she looked back, and saw something shocking. Kyo and Tohru were standing there, but Haru wasn't there. Instead, there was a cow. Why was that cow there? Sora was about to run back, but stopped abruptly. Kyo would probably be mad at her if she went back, and Sora wasn't sure that she wanted to deal with that. So she turned around and headed back, but a million different questions were inside her head. Had Haru transformed into a cow? Was it possible? The idea was ridiculous, but then again…

That night, Sora talked to Kana about it. "So, I turn around and I see a cow. No Haru." Kana started laughing.

"You think he transformed into a cow?" Sora blushed from embarrassment.

"Kana! I'm being serious!" Kana stopped laughing.

"Look Sora, that's just insane. People don't transform into cows. They probably pulled a prank on you or something. I wouldn't take it seriously." Sora couldn't help but be doubtful about that. "I personally wouldn't think much about it."

"I guess…" In Sora's head, she knew that there was something going on. There was a reason that cow was there, and she was going to find out why.
