AN: Gomen, please forgive me for not updating. So much has happened and life is real crazy at the moment.
Let me know if you think I should bring Rin into this or not

"Anou does it taste okay?" Tohru asked as she tilted her head slightly watching as Haru took a bite of the sushi.

Haru took a few small moments to chew and swallow before answering tohru. "Hai, it tastes fine." He said with a smile watching Tohru's expression change. He was glad to be able to finally have time alone with Tohru. Even though it was only for lunch, there was no Kyou or Yuki to bother them. The others made certain of it. He took a sip of his soda as he set it back down in the grass. "Tohru I um.."

"Hai?" She asked. Tohru had been also glad for having lunch with Haru. She knew Kyou and Yuki wouldn't be very pleased with her and hoped they would forgive the both of them. Arisa and Hana told Tohru everything would be fine.

The light cool breeze made the atmosphere feel more relaxing. Haru noticed the yellow ribbons in Tohru's hair seem to make her face glow. He watched as she nibbled on an onigiri. Yes he had wanted time alone with her, but now the problem or finding a topic to chat about was becoming an issue. And lunch only lasted so long.

"Oi what's the big deal?!" The orange-haired Sohma asked as he glared angrily at the blond yankee.

"What do you think your doing?" Arisa asked him angrily tempted to take out her blood stained pipe. "You are not going over to bother Tohru. Let her enjoy her lunch with your cousin. You're acting like your jealous or something?" a small smirk came across her face. "Or is that it? Are you jealous tht he's spending prescious time with Tohru and you're not? Is that it"
Kyou's face fumed. Either from embarrassment or anger, no one could really tell. "What are you talking about? I just don't think it's a good idea for Tohru to be alone with Haru"
"I must agree." Yuki said in a calm voice. He shut the lid on his now empty bento. "Haru is a bit unpredictable"
"It sounds to me like your jealous too Princey?" Arisa said smirking.
"I..." Yuki stuttered as he saw Hana glance at him with a knowing look. He knew he was but he just couldn't bring himself to say anything. Especially if his fan club discovered he liked Tohru, things would only end up being worse for her then they already had been. "It's... it's not like that"
Arisa looked at the "prince" slightly shocked. He knew the Sohma's all had special feelings towards Tohru, friendship or otherwise. "So her being friends with aru shouldn't bother either of you one bit. You know if you start trying to pick who she can be friends with and whom she can't be she's going to end up hating you"
"She can't hate." Hana said finally speaking up."It's not in her body to hate someone. She may have a strong dislike towards something but never hate.
Both Sohma cousins exchanged looks. They knew both girls were right. Tohru would never hate them, and if she did they would never be able to forgive themselves. Things had been a bit different since that day Tohru had came home with the black eye. Haru turning black wasn't as much, especially if Tohru was around. Perhaps he was getting control of it, but it was also wishful thinking at the least. He hadn't been hanging over Yuki as much either. They had to keep their eyes on the cow for a while.
"Maybe Tohru and I can eat lunch together by ourselves tomorrow." Momiji suggested with a smile. He was practically bouncing up and down at the thought of it. Him and Tohru, spending time together. Yea he liked that idea.
"No way you dummy." Kyou said bopping Momiji on the head to get him to knock it off. He was getting a headache from just hearing the kids voice.
"Waah Kyou's picking on me!" Momiji whined.
Arisa sighed as she shook her head. The blond boy was crying, orange head was yelling, and the prince seemed to be lost in his train of thoughts. "Well this proved to be an interesting lunch"
"Interesting waves as well." Hana said taking a bite of her salmon watching the scenery in front of them.

"Oi lunch is over so get back to your class already." Kyou said glaring at the cow who was talking to Tohru by their classroom door.
Haru turned his attention to Kyou. "Did you say something?" He asked.
Kyou's eyes narrowed. "Look you. Get to class so Tohru can get to class. You want to be at fault if she's late"
"Oh but..." Tohru said not wanting Haru to be put to blame.
"Miss Honda, we should go inside." Yuki said smiling at her politely as he moved next to her sensing Haru's gaze leave Kyou's to his.. "The bell will be ringing shortly and we don't wish to be late"
"Um.." Tohru said as she looked at Haru. "Thank you for having lunch with me." she said bowing to him causing a smile to spread across his face.
"Of course, we will have to do it again." He told her as he nodded to her and started towards his classroom.
"Like hell you will!" Kyou hollered after him as he heard the bell ring. "We should..." He looked in and saw Tohru and Yuki inside already." Chikuso!" He cursed geting to his seat before Mayu found he was late.
