I promise you,
I will be the only one
to p r o t e c t y o u so please,
don't cry.

"I don't get it." Hayashi and Momiji said together.

Megumi and I shared an exasperated look.

"It's not that hard Momiji. The diameter is 30. If you split the diameter in half you would get the radius, 15. Then you would multiply 15 and 15 then times pi. Then you would get the area of the semi circle before dividing by 2 and then adding them up. So basically it will be 15 x 15 x 3.14 + 18 1/2= x (A/N: How many of you didn't even bother reading through this?)

He stared at me blankly for a moment before a lightbulb appeared on his head. "Oooooh, I get it!!!"

I breathed out a sigh of relief.

"You're good at math, as usual." Hayashi said casually as Megumi whacked him with a paper fan every time he got a question wrong. Which was often.

"I'm done!" Momiji exclaimed, I took his paper and began to look over it.

"Perfect score." I grinned as this was the first one that was had reached the passing grade, much less a perfect score.

He grinned back,"so does that mean it's a yes?" Referring to a bet he had made, if he had gotten a passing grade let him use me as the body pillow instead of the other way around. Horrible really. But a bet is a bet.

"Yes, yes." I sighed as Hayashi and Megumi looked on in amusement.

And then he threw his arms around me.

I blinked in complete shock as a dull poof and yellow colored smoke hung in the air.

Momiji you idiot! I cursed as I grabbed his fallen clothes and rabbit body and hid them behind me under stacks of paper.

"What the hell?" Hayashi yelped.

"Hinata what happened." Megumi asked with a tint of concern.

"I-I don't know," I lied.

Once the smoke cleared, I could see Megumi and Hayashi looking around skeptically.

"Where's Momiji?" Megumi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He went to the bathroom."

"I didn't hear the door open." Hayashi said in confusion.

"He didn't want to interrupt you guys session."

"We watched him hug you before it began to smoke." Megumi said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. You were explaining denominators to Hayashi." I said as convincingly as I could.

"I can see Momiji's favorite hat over there." Megumi said forcefully.

I mentally cursed myself.

"It must have fell off."

"Hinata so I look like an idiot?" Megumi said deathly calm.

I bit my lip, searching my scattered brain for excuses.

I felt a little nibble on my fingers I glanced back at the corner of my eye. "One bite for yes, two for no." I whispered under my breath.

"Do I try to sneak you out?"

I felt him nibble twice.

"Do I try to bring them outside?"

Two nibbles.

"What do I do?" I whispered harshly in frustration.

In answer he hopped out of the clothes into the middle of the room.

Silence.

I stared down at him in complete shock.

"When did this rabbit get here?" Hayashi asked in confusion.

"It has Momiji's waves and aura." Megumi said quietly.

Poof!

Once again the room was filled with smoke.

I threw Momiji his clothes and he quickly dressed under the cloud of smoke.

"M-Momiji?" Hayashi spluttered. "What happened to the rabbit?"

"You were the rabbit, weren't you?" Megumi stated oddly neutral.

"Y-yeah." Momiji muttered.

"What are you guys talking about?" Hayashi demanded.

"You knew?"

"I had my suspicions that you weren't the average boy, nothing on this scale but still something different."

"Wait! Momiji is a rabbit?!?" Hayashi spluttered.

"Shut up!" I hissed, slapping my palm over his mouth.

"Calm down, are you ready to listen now?" Hayashi nodded with wide eyes.

I slowly retracted my hand and nodded to Momiji. Thus he began to explain his family curse.

When he was finished the two boys were quiet.

"You can't tell anyone." I pleaded.

"Of course not." Hayashi agreed and Megumi nodded. I bit my lip uncertainly and glanced at Momiji who smiled reassuringly.

"What if he finds out?" I asked him quietly.

"He won't. This secret will stay in this room." Momiji said determinedly.

I stood up,"we should probably get going." Tohru would have a gasket if we stayed any later.

"Okay, I'll walk you out." Megumi said, standing with everyone else.

"Oh by the way, Hayashi. If this somehow slips your mouth I know your name. I have a perfect curse for you." Megumi smiled deviously.

Hayashi raised his hands and laughed with a sweat drop. "Don't worry it won't. Besides who would believe Momiji Sohma would turn into a rabbit every time a girl hugged him?"

I felt my shoulders relax and laughed along with everyone else.

We waved goodbye as we set off for Shigure's house since he had offered to let Momiji sleep over. (With a perverted smile of course.)

"You...IDIOT!" I cried, slamming my hand on his head.

"Owowowowowow." He whined,"what gives Hina-chan?!"

"How could you hug me like that!"

"I forgot..."

"What if it had been anyone else? They would've called the police or something!"

"Did...did you dislike it that much..?" He asked quietly, bowing his head.

I sighed and let my anger dissipate.

"No, I like your hugs Momiji but you know why we can't hug." I said gently letting his bowed head of messy golden curls.

"I hate it." I blinked at the sorrow in his voice. "I want to hug you without turning into a rabbit before I can even feel the warmth. I want to hug you as a best friend not a rabbit. I want to hug you without worrying about someone finding out how much of a freak I am. I-I hate it so much." He cried, crystal tear drops appearing in his brown eyes.

I felt my heart clench painfully.

"I know. I hate it too." I said, grasping his hand in mine.

It was the closest thing to a sign of comfort I could do at the moment. This only seemed to pain him more.

"I would be happy if I just got to give you a full hug like best friends do. I don't care if it's even one. I want it so bad Hinata." The tears spilled over, dripping onto our clasped hands.

"Momiji please don't cry." I pleaded wiping away the tears. "Someday we will. This curse we'll break it. I promise."

"I don't deserve you." He smiled mournfully.

"I think you have that twisted Bunny Boy."

"I'm pretty sure you're getting confused Heart Girl. Perhaps your getting too old?"

I turned pink in indignation and flicked his forehead.

"We're the same age!"

"I don't know. Some people age faster than others." He teased, earlier tears forgotten.

"I should leave you outside with the wolves." I glared walking ahead.

"Maaah, so sensitive." He laughed cheerfully.

"I'll show you sensitive!"

"Ow!!!!"

"Hina-chaaaaan!!!!"

"Stoooooop!"

"Who is sensitive now?"

"Owowowowowowowowow!"

"Take that!"

"Itai! I'm sorrrrrrry!"

Ehhh, that hurt my heart :) Momiji is just so sweet and innocent but so tortured. It breaks my heart ;( poor Momiji
