When Hinata saw Momiji wearing the school uniform, she decided it was better to not ask questions.

They walked together with his cousin Hatsuharu. She liked Haru well enough. He seemed down-to-earth and frankly a cool guy. Plus his Black Haru amused her to no end.

"Oi! You stinking kid watch where you're going!" He yelled at the kid who just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hinata bit back an amused smirk.

"Hinata! Guesssssss what!" Momiji cheered as he skipped in circles.

"Yes Momiji-chan?" She smiled pleasantly as he sent a mock glare.

"I've decided to become the cool and silent type." She raised an eyebrow at him in amusement.

"Oh really? Why this sudden transformation?"

"I've heard that girls chase after the cool guys." He said seriously.

"Oh so you want girls chasing after you?" Hinata chuckled and stored away that information for the future.

"Only a couple." Momiji flushed. 'Maybe you would like me the way I like you.' He thought with a sad smile with he shook off and put on a bright smile. Hinata may or may not like him now, but he knew for a fact she hated seeing him upset.

"Don't worry Bunny Boy, they'll probably make a fan club for you as soon as we walk in." Hinata giggled.

"Really?" He beamed.

"I don't envy you." She shook her head.

"Well you'll probably have your own fan club." Momiji gave her a thumbs up.

Hinata wrinkled her nose in confusion. "Why?" She asked incredulously.

Momiji gaped at her, "you're adorable!"

"I'm not cute." She said distastefully.

"I said adorable not cute." He corrected happily.

"I'm not adorable." Hinata rolled her eyes.

"I disagree madam~! Remember the day we met? You turned as pink as cherry blossoms! And your stuttering!" He feigned fainting.

Hinata turned pink, yes as pink as cherry blossoms, and shoved him. "That's not cute! It's embarrassing!" She scowled.

"And your content smile when you start a drawing-" Hinata tried to knock him upside the head but he dodged laughing.

"Shut up!" She hissed, face red.

"It's better to just accept it Hina-chan." He tutted with a sweet smile.

"What about you! Bunny ears pop out of your head all the time!" She pointed out, Momiji went pink and touched his head.

"And your habit of clinging to me." She continued.

By now, both their faces were pinker than possible.

"Why are you so red?" Haru asked absent minded.

"She/he started it!" They cried in unison and mock glared at the other.

"Jeez. The others weren't kidding." He chuckled and put he arms behind his head.

"Who weren't kidding about what?" Momiji asked curiously. She chuckled quietly when his bunny ears popped out of his head.

"Mm nothing, only that you've taken quite a liking to someone Momiji." Haru smirked lazily.

Momiji smiled bashfully but didn't try and deny it.

"Oooh~ a secret crush~?" Hinata teased her best friend.

"Yeah. Something like that." He said sending her a meaningful glance that she missed caught up in her thoughts.

Good, maybe Akito will leave him alone. He didn't say anything about another girl Momiji would had a crush on. She mentally sighed in relief as she felt the stress lift from her shoulders.

Why was she so worried anyway? There's no way he would've developed a crush on her anyway. He was a kind and pure spirit, she was, well, she was a dying sunflower.

She didn't and never would deserve him.

"MOMIJI AND HATSUHARU SOHMA!" A loud, annoying, and dignified voice screamed.

Yuki groaned as a boy appeared and two girls appeared.

"THIS IS SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS! KYO SOHMA'S HAIR IS ALSO GETTING ON MY NERVES! BUT WITH WHITE HAIR AND WEARING A GIRLS SCHOOL UNIFORM I, TAKEI MAKOTO STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT, WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!"

"Great another idiot." Haru muttered.

"HAIR-blah blah blah-CLOTHES-blah blah blah-JEWELRY!"

"President, his hair is naturally white." Yuki explained calmly and annoyed.

"Wasn't it black at birth?!?"

"No, it was definitely white at birth."

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

"And what about Momiji Sohma's clothes?! That's not natural! You're a boy! Don't you have any pride?! You've already stepped on the wrong path!"

"But I look better in the girl uniform." Momiji teared up.

"He's not the one screaming at random people!" Hinata protested. "If I didn't know any better, I would think you were stalking us waiting for the best moment to barge in you power hungry git!"

"Miss Honda! Control your sister!"

"Please stop bullying them president!" Tohru pleaded standing in front of us.

"I'M NOT BULLYING! I AM ONLY GUIDING THEM INTO THE LOGICAL PATH!"

"You're so annoying. You're voice is so irritating. Stop shouting orders like the freakin' king." Haru said suddenly.

Hinata cocked her head in interest as others sweat dropped and muttered 'Black Haru'

"Does wearing a suit mean one won't threaten people? TELL ME! Are you saying people without earrings won't tease others? Black haired people won't kill or set arsons then?! Who the hell do you think you are, God?!" Haru snapped and grabbed him by the shirt.

"Haru stop it!" Kyo yelled.

Hence the duo began screaming at each other.

"Hey ladies. Don't you think he looks good as he is? Wouldn't it be better for him to grow like this until he feels comfortable wearing the boys uniform. Won't he look good?"

"Y-yes."

"Don't let him brainwash you!"

"What about Yuki in a girls uniform?" Hinata smiled innocently at Yuki went rigid.

"Magnificent..." He muttered.

"You are indeed a strong challenge Hatsuharu Sohma, but I ask for proof that your hair is indeed naturally white!"

With that Haru dragged the president to the men's bathroom.

A few awkward moments later president came out. "That...was very...compelling evidence. I rest my case." He muttered as he and the girls left.

"Eh? Momiji, what did Haru show him to convince him?" Hinata asked innocently with wide honey eyes.

Momiji gulped and forced back a blush. This is what I'm talking about!!! She's adorable... He thought in defeat.

"Um probably a baby photo." Momiji lied.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." She nodded absent minded.

"Hey Hinata could you go on ahead? I've got to talk to Kyo and Yuki." She smiled and nodded, readjusting her books.

"I'll wait for you by the classroom." She called as she left to their first class.

As she stood an older boy looked at her as if she was a ghost before bolting.

"Jeez I'm not that ugly, am I?" She muttered with a tiny scowl.

"I suppose that matters on ones opinion little Honda." Hinata froze hearing the familiar cold voice.

"Akito-san." She said more calmly than she felt.

"Remember our discussion little one. You won't want anyone to get hurt." He sneered as he passed.

Hinata stared at the ground with shaking fists. She so wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.

"Hinata! Sorry it took so long." Momiji skipped over as she immediately put on a false smile.

Later...

Hinata watched in amusement as they played tennis with vigor that rivaled a child.

Momiji decided to sit out with me so her so she wouldn't get bored despite her protests.

"H-hey, Hinata?" Momiji suddenly piped up.

Hinata turned to look at him with a smile, "what's up Bunny Boy?"

Momiji smiled shakily, "I-I...I li-..." C'mon! It's only 3 words! I like you. Is that so hard?

"Momiji are you okay?" Hinata asked in concern.

Momiji swallowed the lump in his throat.

"You're my most important person." He said so seriously and so unlike Momiji, her cheeks flared.

"Y-you're my most important person too." She smiled shyly.

In his excitement, Momiji leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Hinata turned redder, if possible, and an eavesdropping Tohru got bonked on the head by the ball because she was watching with her signature dreamy smile.
