"Have a good day at school!" my mom calls through the open window.

I yawn as Sasuke raises a hand as a sort of wave when my mom drives off. I can tell that things didn't turn out exactly as we thought they would, but I think Sasuke enjoyed his time at my house. I can tell that my mom must've made it more pleasant. As we head inside the school silently I can't help but think about last night.

I'm watching a recording on the TV and my mom and Sasuke had left upstairs about ten minutes ago. I hear light quiet steps going down the stairs and I instantly know it's not my mom. I turn to glance and then notice that it's Sasuke.

He's wearing dark blue pajama pants and a button up. Both look pretty big on him. His ears are tucked back against his head and his tail in between his legs with a blush of embarrassment on his cheeks. I try really hard not to crack a grin because he's embarrassed enough as is.

"Er… your mom said that you knew where I could get a toothbrush…" he says.

"I sure do."

I get up and go to my mom's desk where she does some of her work. I pull open a drawer and rummage around for a moment before I pull out a green and white toothbrush. I hand it to Sasuke with a smile. He takes it with a quiet thanks and goes back upstairs again quickly, obviously not liking the fact that I saw him in such a ridiculous state. I laugh to myself quietly as I go back and curl up on the couch to watch some more TV while brushing my tail with my fingers to get out the tangles like I do every day.

I glance at Sasuke who looks a lot more rested than he usually does. We separate to get to our lockers and I end up thinking of another incident around three in the morning last night.

I had woken up pretty early; about three hours earlier than I'm suppose to wake up. I yawn and get out of bed and head to the kitchen. I tiredly get a bottle of water and chug some of it down before putting it back into the fridge and closing it.

I go upstairs and go to the bathroom. When I'm done I look at myself in the mirror but then remember that I can't really see myself in the dark. I scratch my head and yawn as I open the door.

I gasp out loud and stumble back a bit when I see a dark figure right in front of me. Sasuke also looks startled. I takes a few moments to catch my breath and I glare at Sasuke even if it won't be visible in the dark.

I feel a lump come up into my throat. Sasuke's only wearing my dad's old pajama pants but he isn't wearing the pajama button-up, leaving his torso bare. I can see him much more easily than I can see myself. His skin is really white compared to mine, and it ALMOST seems to stand out tremendously in the dark.

"Sorry about that," I apologize. I move out of the way so that Sasuke can go to the bathroom and then I dart downstairs to go to my room to go back to sleep.

It took me thirty minutes or so to go back to sleep, but I did. I found it awkward at breakfast, but Sasuke acted as if nothing happened and that's probably because he might not have remembered it at all. I'm also a bit embarrassed about how much of a point my mom made to tell Sasuke that he could come over to the house anytime he wanted. Not only did she make sure I told him, but she ended up telling him again twice more.

The main thing here is that I think Sasuke and I have reached a new level of friendship. Bring on the friendship scale! One being the worst, and twenty being the highest, we seemed to have been on number one at first. After a while it went up to a four. After finding out our names it was bought up to an six. Now after this I'd say that we've gone up to a nine. There's still a whole other eleven rungs to climb in order to at least be good friends. Right now we're friendly acquaintances, I would guess.

I sigh with a thoughtful expression as I get to my locker. I open it and get my stuff out. As I do I pay attention to my tail which is flicking back and forth lazily. My ears are twitching as I listen to all of the sounds around me. I'm just trying to stop thinking about yesterday and what might go on in class today.

As soon as I close my locker door I feel someone grab my tail. I gasp out and jump, practically jumping into the lockers which kind of hurts. I whip around carefully since they still have a hold of my tail. I'm met with a focused Sterling. I swipe at his hand and he pulls his hand away.

"Yo," he greets me. "Is your face okay?"

"Yes, much better now," I say with a smile. "Why were you touching my tail, exactly?"

"It's just that you have the prettiest bushy tail I've ever seen around here," he compliments me with another focused stare at my tail. "Everyone here has those thin short-haired tails. I've got a small tail with slightly longer fur than everyone else." He cranes his neck to look at his tail. I instinctively take a look, too. He looks away, causing me to look away as well. He then smiles, seeming to get my tail out of his mind. "And your tail is really silky. How do you do that?"

I feel a light blush appear on my face. I've never had anyone compliment my tail. No one at my school mentioned it because I grew up with them so they were used to it. I end up thinking about what Sasuke said, about Sterling's reputation.

"Um… why are you talking to me?" I ask quite bluntly, although with an apprehensive tone, a bit shy, too.

"What's that mean?" he asks, tilting his head and tilting one of his dog ears.

"I heard that you have a reputation…" I mention. Sterling's smile falls and he moves his head back into place. I look down to his neck, not wanting to look him in the eyes.

"Not too many people know what their reputation is amongst others, but I do know," he says. I glance back up at his eyes, although for a moment until I pull my gaze back into his neck. "People will tell you that, since I broke up with my first girlfriend, I've been going out with quite a bit of girls."

I feel my ears tuck back, although not flat against my head. My tail lowers and hangs. I feel my heart sink a bit, knowing that I'm like the other girls that Sterling had gone after before me. He clears his throat and I realize that my eyes were looking at the ground. I look back up at him through my lashes and he has a smile on his face.

"But I usually don't take this long to get a girl. Anyone would tell you it'd take me only a week or two. You're… different, and it might have to do with the fact that you're new here which means I don't know you."

"Um… thanks?" I'm not really sure to take that as a compliment, or brush it off thinking that he says that all of the other girls are different.

Sterling analyzes me, and I'm not sure what there is to study. He seems to be thinking of something completely new to him, like a thought just occurred. He tilts his head as he says, "You know, now that I'm thinking about it, you look kind of like my first girlfriend."

My heart jumps a bit. I fully look into Sterling's eyes with some confusion and shock. I immediately start to think about what his girlfriend might look like, and that I'll have to ask my friends what his first girlfriend looked like so that he isn't saying that just to get my attention. Sterling drops his look and puts on a smile.

"I need to get to class now. I'll see you later, okay? I'm still looking forward to that date I owe you. Until next time," Sterling says as his good-bye. He raises his hand as his good-bye wave and walks off. I watch him leave then turn to head to my first hour, too.

I need to tell Sterling that I'm not into him. I can't lead him on like this, I tell myself. It's a bit surprising that he's into me in the first place. I would've thought that Sterling would want to avoid someone who looks like his first girlfriend.

I go downstairs and head to my first hour class. I go inside and set my stuff down and hope that I don't run into any of Sasuke's fans because they might've heard from Sakura or Ino that I left with him. Unfortunately, things don't want to go my way today.

When I round the corner to go and find my friends I'm met with Sakura, Ino and a couple of girls with hands on their hips and angry looks. I think I'm finally going to be jumped.

I'm not sure if they were waiting for me there, thinking that I'd have to go by, or if they stopped as soon as they saw me. I stop in my tracks, my ears lying back again and my tail going in between my legs with some fear.

"Hey there Haruka," Ino greets me with a scary smirk on her face, as if she's trying to smile. I gulp down my fear and nod. "You have the time to talk?"

"Not really," I answer quietly, feeling the tip of my tail start to flick back and forth.

"It won't be long," Sakura adds with a sweet smile that is hiding a more malicious side to her.

"Do you guys know what Fighter Units are?" I ask, trying to calm them down.

The girls give me glares as if I just asked where their ears are. Sakura crosses her arms with a glare while Ino rolls her eyes and answers, "Of course we do."

"Well… I'm a Fighter Unit," I tell them. "I… I found out that Sasuke is my Sacrifice…"

"Yeah right!" Sakura immediately says afterwards.

I lift my shirt and point at the Timeless on my belly. They give me weird stares and I say, "Sasuke has the same thing on HIS stomach. You must know that two people who have the same name are a unit, right? If you don't believe me, just look at his stomach. You can see it during soccer practice. I knock him over and his shirt comes up sometimes. It's a bit hard to miss."

They let their jaws drop just slightly. I put my shirt down and quickly walk past them. Almost right after, I see my friends sitting on the floor with their backs against the wall by the band room. They smile at me as I approach them. I take a seat next to Temari, on her right.

"Hey, it's been a while since we've actually talked in a group like this," Ten Ten greets as she leans forward to talk to me since she's to Hinata's right and at the end. I smile and nod, then say, "I got something I need to ask you guys."

"Sure, go ahead and shoot," Temari says as she waits for it.

"Well… I was wondering what Sterling's first girlfriend looked like," I say, hoping they won't make a big deal out of my train of thought.

"Sterling's g-girlfriend?" Hinata repeats to be sure she has the right person in mind. I nod at that.

Temari grins at me then says, "She has black hair, is tan, had black ears and tail, and brown eyes that were almost black."

I feel my ears tuck back and my tail wrap around my leg. That really is basically a description of me, too. The three of them give me questioning looks. I gulp down the lump in my throat since I'm not thinking about what will happen to Sterling once I tell him I don't really want anything to do with him. He might feel like he's being told off by his old girlfriend or something.

But what will Sasuke do if I don't do just that?

"I just remembered I forgot to do some homework," I lie as I stand up. "I'll see you guys later."

I quickly walk away, although I go down a different hall so that I don't accidentally run into the group of fans. I go up the stairs, and I curse myself for the lengths I'd go to in order to avoid Sasuke's fans, but then I go back down another set of stairs. I get to class and realize that there's at least five more minutes until class starts.

The girls aren't here, but Sasuke is. He's sitting in the seat next to mine, where someone is already supposed to be sitting. I stop walking and give a slightly shocked look. He stares me down then tilts his head at where my seat is supposed to be, as if inviting me to sit down if I dare. I hesitantly make my way over to the other side of the room and take a seat, obviously looking and feeling uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?" I whisper with some shock, although for what reason that is I don't know.

"I convinced the guy who sits here to trade seats with me. He likes the girl I sit across from," he explains as he looks at his books. I can only assume he didn't mention names so that he doesn't confuse me.

I gulp down another lump in my throat as I feel my stomach twist painfully. I put a hand there and force a smile as I say, "Alright, just don't want anyone getting into trouble."

'Just great…' I think with anguish. 'Now those girls have another reason to beat me up. Thank goodness it hasn't happened yet.'
