A few days have passed. It's now Thursday and some interesting things have happened to me.

Let's start out with Sterling. Lately, he seems to have been going out of his way to come see me in the morning which I find odd. But soon after he finds me, Hide ends up popping up out of nowhere. Sterling definitely seems to accept him better than when I first meet Hide. Sterling also goes out of his way to find me and walk with him as I get ready to go Biology while he's going to Chemistry.

And now we move onto Hide. Like I said before, Hide manages to find me in the morning. He seems to really enjoy talking to me, although I honestly can't tell you what I think of him or that I know how to act toward him. I don't know what to make of him at all, really. Hide also sits at my table at lunch, which confused the people who didn't know him. Kiba and Temari accepted him pretty easily, though.

Then, finally, there's Sasuke. After the night at my house, he's been distant to me. Even now it still hurts. We've been talking like normal acquaintances do. I'm not in a rush to get him to get close to me again, because I know that Sasuke has to move at his own pace. He doesn't wait for me so that we can walk together after school, like I suggested that last night he was over. I had asked my mom if Sasuke could come over for dinner on Fridays and she had agreed. I'll have to try to ask him what's going on today.

And now is the perfect opportunity.

This morning, I got here earlier than usual so I didn't see any signs of Sterling or Hide. When I get to the classroom to set my things down I see Sasuke. He's sitting back in the seat where he can sit next to me. Just yesterday he started doing that, so I think now is a good time to ask him what's going on.

When I set my things down, Sasuke turns a little and nods to acknowledge that I'm here and that that's his way of greeting me. I take a seat, facing him. I look around to make sure none of his fangirls are around, although they've been leaving him and me alone ever since I told them about me and him being a unit.

"Sasuke? Er… I think we should… talk…" I hesitate. I've never really done serious talking to anyone beside my mom, but that's a requirement.

Sasuke is silent. He doesn't even turn to me.

"Um… is something wrong? You've been really quiet ever since you spent the night at my house," I start.

"It's nothing," he retorts.

"Sasuke… um… you and I am a unit. If something is bothering you and you don't tell me, then… things aren't going to get better," I say. I'm trying really hard to sound deep since I'm not sure how to talk to Sasuke and get him to express how he feels. "If you don't tell me things, I think our unit-bond will end up… dwindling."

Sasuke turns to me. His eyes are strangely devoid of much of any emotion. It's odd, but this also hurts me. I think I must look worried because he's so silent. Sasuke analyzes me, as if trying to determine whether or not I'm worthy enough for me to know how he feels. He then leans back in his chair and turns his body a little so that he can face me while he talks.

"I'm not used to spending a lot of time with people," Sasuke begins to explain. "I don't even like getting close to people. The people that were close to me died, and then my brother had to go and go to college. He doesn't visit often. Do you see where I'm coming from?"

I nod, actually understanding somehow. Sasuke turns back to his stuff and starts picking at his book, peeling away the covering. I clear my throat a little and Sasuke turns his head so that he can see me from the side of his eyes.

"Sasuke… I'm your Fighter Unit. I don't think I'm going anywhere even if I want to."

"I've been trying to figure out about where this leaves us after that night…" Sasuke trails off, turning away.

"That leaves us as a Fighter Unit in progress, Sasuke. We're making it."

Right now I'm heading to the park. I had walked with Sasuke after school for as long as I could. We started talking again, but it was mostly about how I can improve my spells. When he left I told him he can come to our house for dinner on Fridays. He actually seemed to like the way that sounded.

But now that I'm heading to the park, I have to say that it's not for Sasuke. I just left my house and I'm actually going because Hide texted me saying to go. I get a big surprise when I see what's at the end of the lawn.

"So this is where you live, Haruka?"

Hide is at the end of the lawn with his hands in his pockets. He's grinning at me with happiness. I don't know how to take him being here and I'm very shocked, and also scared. I had enough of him at school, but now he knows where I live?

What I notice is that Hide is wearing a black tank top with a looser red tank top over it. He's wearing black skinny jeans with black and red checkered converses. Other than that, he looks the same with the bandages that look like an "x" and the charm bracelet.

Hide walks up to the fence and opens it up. He saunters up the sidewalk until he's standing in front of me. He now has a sly smile as he asks, "Aren't you going to invite me inside, Haruka?"

I open my mouth, but close it again. I turn around and open the door, going inside. I step aside for Hide to come inside, not really sure how he managed to convince me to let him come inside. Hide looks around the house as he takes off his shoes. I close the door behind him and feel strangely plain standing by him.

I think he could possibly be a model, maybe for Hot Topic. All I'm wearing is a gray shirt with an owl on it, a gray sweater, blue pants, and black sneakers. My hair is done since I don't like to tie it up because it makes my ears feel like they're restricted from moving.

"Mom! I'm not going to the park! My, uh… friend decided to come over here instead!" I call into the house.

My mom comes out of the kitchen holding some type of spice. Hide smiles politely and waves at her. My mom brightens up, and I know it's because I've got more friends. She comes away from the kitchen and goes ahead and shakes hands with Hide.

"Oh, how nice to have you here! Seeing as you're Haru-chan's friend, you're welcome here. I'm making some food, so maybe you can stick around until dinner…" my mom trails off, basically asking for Hide's name.

"My name is Hideyoshi, but I like to be called Hide," he says, still smiling.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Hide. I'll go to the kitchen and Haru-chan can show you around," my mom basically orders inconspicuously as she goes back to the kitchen.

That's exactly what I do. I give as short explanations as I possibly can as I show Hide around the house. He stays quiet and just listens and looks around. I leave my room for last, since I want to be able to let him know it's my room and then we can go straight downstairs.

"Hold on Haruka, I want to see what your room is like," Hide demands.

"It's nothing special, actually. I haven't been able to decorate because we moved in not too long ago," I tell him.

"You're so adorably silly, Haruka. Even if that is, there's still some sort of personality to your room, I bet," Hide pressures.

Hide opens the door to my room. All I have is a wood floor, white walls, a closet, a dresser and desk, and then my bed which has white sheets.

"… You're right, this is nothing special," Hide says with disappointment.

"Yep, now let's close my door and go downstairs," I say as I grab the handle and close the door.

When I try to walk down the hallway, Hide ends up putting his arm in front of me and setting his hand on the opposite wall. I stop walking so I don't run into his arm and then I take a step back. Hide has a sly smile, although there's something else in there that I can't quite place.

"You know what, Haruka? I think I can see why Sterling has taken an interest in you," Hide says.

I stay silent. I'm not sure how to respond to this. It almost sounds like a slight insult. I take another step back. This actually causes Hide to take two long steps toward me so that he's dangerously close. I can't help but notice that he ran his fingers along the wall.

I gulp, backing up a little more. This only causes Hide to move closer. I open my mouth to suggest that he leave my personal bubble, but he ends up taking my face into his hands.

"You seem so innocent and pure. I wonder if you've had your first kiss yet?" Hide asks more than he wonders.

"I-"

Before I can say that I have, indeed, had my first kiss, Hide quickly moves his face forward. He sets his lips on mine, and that sets something off.

I immediately put both of my hands out to touch both walls of the hallway. Some part of me is absolutely disgusted that Hide is doing this, along with being angry. I think that it could possibly be the side of me that is the Fighter to my Sacrifice, which is Sasuke.

But then there's another side of me which still wants to fight against the possibility that fate is forcing me to be with Sasuke just because fate said so. This side of me is trying to do things that go against what normal Units do, and this is a way of going against the rules. This side of me is also ecstatic and surprised that Hide will take any interest in me whatsoever.

I can definitely feel that this isn't Hide's first kiss. With Sasuke, it felt like he didn't know what he was doing, like me. But with Hide, I can feel like he's testing to see what I'm like before he continues. It's like he knows what he's doing. And, I hate to admit it, but he's good at kissing as far as I know.

All the sudden, I feel Hide start to slightly suck on my lower lip. That brings me back to reality. I immediately move my hands from the walls and push Hide away from me enough to make sure that he knows I'm telling him not to come near me. I stare at him, and he blinks at the sudden distance.

"No," is all I can say.

Hide suddenly smiles. He sets his hands down since they were still poised from holding my face. He then says, "Well, that was fun. You definitely need to practice, though."

"Whoa, no! I'm not practicing anything!" I say, now feeling myself blushing. "Don't do that again!"

Hide just laughs. He's laughing in a way that says he thinks I'm acting like a child when I'm too old, but in a cute way. He puts his hands into his pockets, and with a sly grin, he says, "I think I'll be taking my leave. And don't lie to yourself when you're staying awake at night, and just admit that you think I'm a good kisser."

"I'm a Fighter Unit and I have a Sacrifice! I'm not doing this!" I tell him, poking him on his shoulder.

Hide suddenly grabs that hand. He holds it, though, and rubs his thumb over the back of my hand. I shudder; feeling the disgust and anger again, although the other side of me feels like the skin he's touching is suddenly scalding hot.

"And your point is? I've done the same with other units before, Haruka. I think it's funny, personally. I find it to be fun stuff. If you ever feel your hormones brewing, and aren't quite there with your Sacrifice, just know that I'm around, alright? I like to be a friend with benefits. But just know that sometimes, my own hormones are going to be stirring around, too. But don't worry, I'll keep this all a secret and I won't do it publicly… at least, not when people from our school are around."

Hide pulls me closer to him since he has a hold of my hand. He slips his free hand behind my head and pulls our faces to each other again. He presses his lips against mine, making the kiss firm. My eyes are wide open, not processing what the heck's happening. Hide then pulls away. He doesn't stop there, though. He actually kisses the corner of my mouth and then he lets go of me completely.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow, Haruka," Hide almost sings.

He turns around and goes down the hallway. I'm stock still as I watch him leave. I'm actually a bit afraid he might turn around and do the same thing all over again, but he actually leaves because I hear the door close.

"Haruka! Did your friend leave?" I hear my mom call from the kitchen.

"… Y-Yeah…!" I manage to stutter.

What. Just. Happened!

I'm going to go on vacation for a week, and this is why I'm putting up the next update for you guys. I'll still want 2 reviews before I make another update, though.
