Natsuki grumbled as she walked through the hallways of school. She was looking for Kami. She hated that her cousin wasn't in her class anymore. She paused as she noticed Haru standing by himself. Some girls were watching him and giggling. "Hey Haru, what are you doing?"

"I can't remember which way my class was…" He looked off down the hallway.

"Really?" Natsuki chuckled. "Need directions?" She smiled as he nodded. "Down the hall turn left."

"Thanks." Haru started walking. Natsuki watched him walk and chuckled. It was really funny. "HEY! HARU!" She called after him.

He turned. "Huh?"

"You left your book over here." She pointed to the book on the floor.

Haru walked back over. "Thanks." He picked it up and looked at her. "Are you doing anything today after school?"

"Huh?" Natsuki blinked. "No, not really."

"Do you want to come over to sensei's house? I'm going to pick up a cousin of mine." Haru looked at her calmly.

"Sure why not." Natsuki shrugged. "It might be fun. So who is this cousin of yours?"

"Yuki's older brother, Ayame." Haru shrugged and then started walking towards his class.

"Hmm…" Natsuki blinked. She headed towards her class but smiled as she spotted Kami talking to a girl. "Kami!"

"Oh, hey Suki!" Kami smiled and said goodbye to her friend before walking over to Natsuki. "How's it going?"

"Same as always, just heading to class after giving Ari some notes. She was sick yesterday."

"I guess someone profits from you switching classes." Natsuki grumbled.

"I told you I talked to Yukio; I'm not going to be switching back. I want to, but I'm not going to." She sighed. "There is nothing we can do about that."

"I know… I just wish Yukio hadn't stuck his nose in our school life." She crossed her arms. "Oh, I'm heading over to the Sohma house to meet another of their cousins after school. Wanna come?!" She grinned. At least Yukio can't put his nose in this.

"Sorry, I promised dad that I would get home early to help move our stuff to the new house."

"New house… Oh yeah sorry about that the other day…" Natsuki chuckled.

"It was Shouta's fault." Kami chuckled. "He went too far in sneaking into your room. He asked for you to go lion and attack him. And he knows better to control his emotions and not transform himself."

"Yeah, but we shouldn't have crashed into your wall…. I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay." Kami chuckled. "You at least gave Shouta a good scratch to make sure he learned his lesson. And it was his fault more than yours." Kami laughed. "Yukio is good for something, but I'm not entirely happy about living next door to his main house."

"Yeah that doesn't sound fun…" Natsuki grumbled. "I guess I'll see you later then."

"Have fun. And tells the others I say hi." Kami hugged her cousin and then headed towards her own class.

Natsuki sighed before heading to her class.

"Hey Haru." Natsuki walked up behind him. "Ready to go."

Haru nodded. "Alright. Let's go." They started walking. Natsuki looked at him as they walked. "So why are we going to pick up your cousin?"

"Hm… I guess he won't listen to me anyways… Can I borrow your phone?" He held out his hand.

"Uh, sure." Natsuki handed his phone over. "What did you need this for?"

He dialed up a number. "…Hey Hatori…. Ayame got out and is over at Shigure's… Do you mind going and picking him up." He listened for a moment. "Okay bye." He turned off the phone and handed her phone back. "Now what…" He blinked looking off.

"Want to go get some ice cream?" Natsuki asked calmly. "I'm going to get some myself before I head home."

"Sure." Haru shrugged and then followed her towards the park where there was an ice cream stand. "What is your favorite flavor?"

"I like chocolate." She smiled. "What about you?"

"Chocolate is good… So is vanilla. I like the two together."

"You're paying for your own then." Natsuki smiled. "I'll pay for my own, but you have to pay for yours." Haru shrugged and followed her to the stand. "One chocolate cone and one double scoop chocolate and vanilla cone, please"

The lady serving the ice cream nodded. She handed over the two cones. Before Natsuki could pull out her wallet Haru handed over some money to the stand. "Thanks." He said and walked off, licking his ice cream.

"HEY! Wait up!" Natsuki rushed after him. "You didn't have to pay for mine! I said I would."

"It was fine." Haru just continued to eat his ice cream. "See ya later."

"Maybe… And next time I'm paying for the ice cream, both to repay you." She turned her face away. "I'm going home now."

"Next time then." Haru smiled. "Then I'll see you then." He waved his free hand and walked off towards his own home.

Natsuki chuckled and started walking. That guy isn't too bad. Maybe another date, not a romantic date, would be cool. She smiled and ate the ice cream that Haru had bought her. It tasted good.

She headed home and found Yin walking out. "Where you going Yin?"

"Out." She said calmly. "See you later." She hurried off, seeming less excited and more serious than normal. That wasn't a bad thing.

That was strange…. She shrugged and walked towards her own house. She had finished her ice cream, but she was still thinking about Haru. He was definitely interesting. I wonder if he goes black very often, or is mostly white Haru. Natsuki shrugged and walked into her house. She needed to get her homework done so Kami didn't scold her like a mother. Oh wait, she wouldn't know that I'm doing my homework last minute in class because she's in a different class, I'm still not use to that. She sighed. I'm still going to do it now. Kami would still find out somehow, probably.
