***********************************
How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace…
***********************************

Rin stood in the forest outside of Shigure’s house. She wanted to ask him if he knew how to break the Sohma curse, she was tired of not being able to be who she was; tired of avoiding the opposite sex, when all she wanted to do is have normal boyfriend and a semi-normal life. She was tired of only being able to have physical contact with those who are under the Sohma curse, it got old after awhile, although Hatsuharu is one of the best lays she has ever had, he is too attached to her and keeps bringing up a three some with Yuki.
(Yuki the rat. The spirit who started this curse in the first place. I would love to fuck his brains out, but he’s so head over heels in love with that rice ball, he can’t even see, that she’s in love with the cat, the stupid cat, the one that’s going to be locked up after he graduates.)

Rin continued with her thoughts when she saw a shadow in her peripheral vision, she turned her head, wondering who it could be, it was the ox, the best fuck she ever had. Rin walked towards him, wondering what the hell he was doing here.
“Haru…What are you doing here?” she asked quietly with a little harshness in her voice.
Hatsuharu just smirked and said,
“Rin… you look… Beautiful.”

***********************************************
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
***********************************************

Haru pulled Rin into his arms and kissed her with all the passion he had built up, just for her. Even if he just made love to Tohru and even if he occasionally fucks, Yuki, no one can make his toes curl like is little, hot, sexy Rin.
Rin tried to struggle out of his embrace with no luck, but she was able to pull away from him with enough room to raise her hand and smack him across the face.

“I told you that it was over, I didn’t love you!” screamed the horse. But the ox new otherwise, Kagura the boar had told him that Rin pines for him. Haru quietly laughed and said,
“Rin, you are still a bad liar…I know you still want me and I know that you love me…”

***********************************************
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
***********************************************

Rin gasped; shocked that he could read her so well. Truthfully, she missed him so much it hurt to look at him. She wanted to be held in his arms for eternity, she regretted breaking up with him, even if it was out of love for him, to protect him from Akito, the God of the Sohma clan.

“Maybe I still do want you, but you know that it can’t happen. I don’t want Akito doing to you what he did to me…” she whispered,

“But there is nothing you or I can do about it, unless you want to spend a couple a weeks trapped in a hospital bed, knowing that Akito can come in at any time and send you to the next life.”

*************************************************
'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
**************************************************

“I don’t give a shit about Akito!” Yelled Hatsuharu, “I care about you, I love you.” He then whispered.

Rin began to cry and turn the other way, the ox walked up to her, ready to wrap her in his arms to comfort her, but without success, Rin quickly snapped her head towards him, glaring with all the malice she could muster,
“Stay…Away from me.” Rin turned away

******************************************
So take a look at me now,
oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
*******************************************

“Rin wait! Don’t leave me! Come back!” Hatsuharu’s heart broke, why couldn’t she just let it go and be with him, Akito never has to find out. Haru collapsed to the ground, curling in the fetal position.

“Rin…Rin…” he muttered over and over again. His sadness over took him, even black Haru felt the pain, the pain of rejection, from the one you loved the most…

********************************************
Ooh take a look at me now,
well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
and that's what I've got to face
*********************************************

Rin stopped in the woods, near a large cherry tree, she heard him beg her to stay, oh gods she wanted to! She wanted to take him in her arms and tell him everything was going to be okay, that no matter what she wasn’t going to leave his side, but she couldn’t do it! Not while Akito lives, she would rather die, than let the bastard hurt her, would be lover.
She leaned against the tree, and began crying harder, she could still hear him muttering her name, she wanted to turn around and go to him…but she didn’t, she couldn’t…

**********************************************
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
**********************************************

Haru, thought her heard her crying too, he knew she was upset, he knows that her heart was just as broken and torn as his was.

(Are you going to just sit her and cry like a little baby or are you going to be a man and go to her?!) Yelled his black side.

(I can’t! I can’t!) Wailed his white side.

(The fuck you can’t! Get off your ass and go to her! Even if she slaps you again, fuck her into oblivion, show her how much you love her!) Said black Haru
(No! I will not fuck her! I won’t! She deserves more than that, she deserves more than I can give…more than anyone can give…) said his gentle side.

(You may not give her all she needs, but I can, together we can! Do it! Get up off your cry baby ass and tell her how much you love her, don’t just say it, show her goddammit!)

********************************************
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
********************************************

Haru got up and dusted of his pants.

“I will find her and I will show her how much I love her, how much I need her. She will know, and I will keep doing it no matter how many times she rejects me.” He whispered to himself.

Haru walked towards the forest, listening for any sound that may be Rin. He walked for about five minutes before he heard some sniffling, he knew it was Rin. Excitement built up inside, until he was about ready to burst. He had found her, his excitement soon turned into anguish, normally he’s not the one to hold back what he feels, but wit Rin, it’s just different. He wanted to do this right, she wasn’t Yuki after all. Haru, quietly walked over to Rin, taking deep breaths, she was crying so hard, that she didn’t even notice he was there until he had her wrapped in his arms, and was being pulled towards his chest. God he loved this woman, if only she could see how much he loved her.

*************************************
Now take a look at me now,
'cause there's just an empty space
*************************************

Rin was too worn out to struggle, so she let the ox hold her. Hatsuharu sighed in relief, and leaned down to kiss his dark headed beauty. It was then he realized that she was more beautiful now, than she ever had been, the tears in her eyes reflected off the moonlight finding its way through the dense forest. Her outfit was as provocative as ever and he could feel himself harden at the sight of her. But he held back, he didn’t want her to be scared away, so he carefully moved his lower half away from her body, or tried to, when Rin held him tighter breathlessly saying,

“Make Love to me Hatsuharu-kun…”

Haru’s eyes grew wide, realizing what she wanted to do, what he’s been wanting to do for months now, he wanted to make love to her again, and show her what kind of man he could be for her, but…

“Now? Here in the forest?” he asked.


“Yes, my body longs for you, can’t you feel it? Can’t you see it in my eyes? I want to forget, even if it’s just for a little while, I want to feel something rather than pain and suffering, even if it’s the last time, please Haru-kun, make love to me!?” she begged.

*******************************************
But to wait for you, is all I can do
and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
cos I'll still be standing here
It's the chance I've gotta take
*******************************************

Haru didn’t have to be convinced, he pulled Rin closer to him, if that was possible, and began to kiss her passionately, Rin opened her mouth to her lover, allowing him to taste her, oh how much he missed her sweetness, she tasted of honey wine, her smell was alluring, she smelled of sugar or cotton candy. Rin murmured Hatsuharu’s name pushing her lower regions onto his; that was all he could take, he quickly stepped away from her and removed all his clothing, until he was standing in front of her, naked as the day he was born. Rin took in the scene, remembering how sexy he was and why she was attracted to him in the first place. The ox smiled and said,

“Now it’s your turn my delicate rose, strip for me, let me see you.” Rin slowly began to remove her black halter top, then proceeded to remove her black vinyl mini skirt, she was getting ready to remove her knee high boots but Haru stopped her, “No, leave those on…” Rin obeyed, anticipating what was to come next. Haru reached out and gently caressed one of Rin’s breasts, she gasped, feeling a tingle in her nether regions, she moved towards her lover, but he stopped her; she sighed in frustration.

“Haru-kun! Stop teasing me, I need this now, more than anything.”

Haru smirked at the horse and whispered,

“Tell me how bad you want me, Isuzu; tell me how much you want me.”

Rin leaned into him so close that their noses were almost touching,
“You want me to tell you? Why don’t I just show you how much I want you?”
Finding her strength once again she leaned into him pushing him onto the ground and straddled him; Hatsuharu laughed his sexy laugh saying,

“I’m still not convinced, show me more…” Rin smiled at him and pinned his arms above his head. She moved above his cock and sat down, not allowing him to penetrate. He moaned. Rin began to move up and down sliding her wetness against his erection. He moaned louder and tried to move to grab her, but she wouldn’t let him, she held his hands firmly down, “Uh, uh, I don’t think so, I’m going to make you writhe underneath me, and then when it’s time for you to cum, I’m gonna stop…”

The horse began to move faster over the ox’s arousal, she felt her release coming, knew that it would be there soon; she began to scream out Haru’s name, not caring if the whole world heard her.

“Oh Haru-kun! Oh gods! Haru-kun”

Hatsuharu, tried with all his might to hold back his release not wanting it to end yet. Rin released Haru’s hand and collapsed on the ox’s chest. Haru smirked and flipped Rin over, the black Haru rearing his sexy head.

“Now it’s my turn! Turn around and get on your hands and knees!”

Rin did as she was told, anticipating his engorged member to enter her from behind. Hatsuharu moved her silky black hair out of the way and began to nip at Rin’s neck, she mewled with pleasure, Haru licked her neck and moved down to her shoulder blades, his cock teasing her, slightly touching her womanly lips, but he would not enter her. She growled with frustration,

“Haru, please!” Haru smiled and quickly thrust into her, causing her to scream, but not from pain, but from pure elation. He pounded into her moving as fast as he could, grunting and enjoying the feeling of her pussy wrapped around his dick,

“I could fuck you all night…” grunted the ox.

Rin continued to scream, vocalizing whatever she could,

“Oh, yes, like that baby, oh gods, this feels so good!” Rin felt her inner walls begin to twitch and knew she was almost there, she knew it was going to be more intense than her first one, it always was with Hatsuharu, no one could make her scream like he could. Haru felt her walls squeeze his cock and he lost control, coming so hard, it hurt, but it was a good kind of hurt.

Breathing hard trying to calm is racing heart and catch his breath, he reached under and placed his hand on the horses stomach, gently easing her down on the ground and carefully easing him self out of her then laying down next to her.

“God, that felt so good. I’ve missed this, I’ve missed you. Please tell me you’ll stay with me, please don’t leave me.”

It was obvious to Rin that Hatsuharu was back to his old self again; Rin turned her head to look at him and gave him a sad smile.

“I love you Hatsuharu, but we can’t be together…not until he’s gone…”

Haru looked at his lover and ran his fingers through her long black hair,

“Why is everyone so afraid of him? All he is, is a whiney little brat who has temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way…”

Rin stood up and began to gather all her clothing and getting dressed…

“I can’t let him cause you or me any harm, this is the last time we do this!”

Haru jumped up, not caring about his nakedness.
“FUCK HIM! I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THAT BASTARD! I WON’T LET YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!” Yelled the ox.

Rin turned her back on him and began to weep.

“I love you Hatsuharu-kun, but I have to go…” Rin quickly ran away from him, leaving the ox behind cursing at his state of undress.

“Rin! Come back! Don’t leave me! Rin!”

Hatsuharu fell to the ground, finally letting his tears of sorrow, fall.

“Don’t leave me….”
