Chapter 1:
On Vacation~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been having these strange dreams recently…What they're about, I'm not sure. Everyone's been acting strange lately. They won't let me sleep…for very long anyway. They won't tell me why either…
"Haru! We're leaving now!"
A familiar blonde-haired boy poked his head into my dim room, tinted orange from the slowly setting sun.
"Did you change your mind?"
"…Yeah…I think I will come with you."
"Yippee! I'll go tell Hatori!"
The little boy beamed as he left. He's almost always so happy. The thought of Momiji broken down, sobbing into my shoulder caused a familiar feeling to prick at the back of my mind, wanting to take over again. When this feeling will envelop my mind? I'm never sure. I also never have been able to figure out its motives…
"Haru! Come on!"
A chuckle escaped from my throat at the sound of Momiji's impatient voice. I shut my suitcase and picked it up before heading out for Hatori's car. Momiji sat up front so I had the backseat all to myself. As we drove off, I stretched out to take a nap. No sooner than when I just start to fall into a slumber, Momiji squeals at something and wakes me up with a jolt.
"Look at that Haru! Isn't it pretty!?"
I grudgingly glare out the window to see that is was merely snowing. Instead of white, the snow was a beautiful golden, red-orange as it drifted from the sky to the ground. Suppressing the urge to fuss at Momiji, I just reply,
"It is."
I then slid back into my previous position before shutting my eyes once more. It seemed that I had only just shut them when I was suddenly thrown into the floor, my face hitting the back of Momiji's seat.
"What's wrong Hatori!?"
I moaned as I sat myself back on the car seat. Hatori just gazed back at me with disbelief written all over his face.
"What?"
He stared at me for a second longer before shaking his head as he turned back to the wheel and mumbling,
"I need a vacation…"
My head hit the back of my seat as he started on the road again.
'What's up with him? Must be really stressed out…That's not normal for him…'
Technically we are headed off for a vacation, but…when you're someone like Hatori and Shigure's going to be around…you can't ever say it's going to be a good vacation.
"We're here."
"Yippee!"
Any hope I had about taking a nap in the car is gone, but maybe I'll get a good nights sleep…for once.
I try my best not to trip as Momiji circles repeatedly around me while I try to move what little I have of luggage into the house we're staying at. He soon bounces off away from me and shortly after I hear,
"Get back here you little brat!"
Kyou suddenly zips by, running after Momiji. I then spot Yuki and I start to head over to him but Tohru suddenly appears from around a corner and whatever she said, caused Yuki to walk into the depths of the house. With a heavy sigh, I change my destination towards finding my room. Thankfully, Hatori found me before I wandered around too long and led me to the room I was to share with Yuki. When he walked into the room, he wasn't too happy about discovering that he would be sharing a room with me…of all people. At least I heard him mumble that it was better than sharing a room with Kyou. I may get on his nerves most of the time, but not so much as Kyou…and I'm glad for that. If Yuki liked the person he supposedly hated the most more than me…then--
"Haru!"
Kyou called out just before sliding open the door,
"Hatori told me to tell you that supper's ready. So you best hurry up before it gets cold!"
With that, he slammed the door shut and I heard his footsteps quickly retreat away from the door. I sigh to myself as I stand up and head towards the dining room.
_______________
The meal was pretty good. Kyou and Yuki bickered a bit, but it didn't turn into anything serious. That feeling…what they call 'Black Haru' pricked at my mind a few times though…Luckily, it never succeeded in taking over…not yet anyway.
When I walk into my room, I jump when I see something out of the corner of my eye…but when I spun around to confront whatever it was, nothing was there. With a sigh I dismiss it as an effect of my lack of sleep and I pull off my shirt and jeans before sliding into my futon that had been prepared for me. Within a matter of seconds, I'm out like a light.

"Haru!"
My eyes snap open as I jerk up into a sitting position. A shadow catches my eye, but it was gone by the time I could turn my head around.
"Haru, are you ok!?"
I turn my attention to Yuki, who to my surprise, was kneeling beside me with concern all over his face.
"…Yes…Why? What's wrong?"
A troubled look came upon his face as he stuttered,
"Uh…I…it…N-nothing…It's nothing."
I raised an eyebrow at him and he averted his eyes away from mine. He wasn't telling me the whole truth…but I'm not about to argue with him at the moment…I'd much rather try to go back to sleep.
"Yuki, how has it been since we ate?"
He gave me a puzzled look before answering,
"You left for our room just ten minutes ago…Why?"
"Nothing. Just wondering how much sleep I had gotten. 'Night."
"Uh, yeah…"
He slowly got up and turned off the bedroom light before climbing into his own futon. I listened to the soft sound of his breathing until I once again fell into a light slumber…
