-x- A PROMISE BETWEEN US -x-

Rin x Haru

xXxXx

"Thanks for the hard work Nanase-san." A pat landed on Haruka's back as Haruka nodded with a small smile on his face.

"Nanase-kun!" A woman voice called him out then he turned around and saw his female fellow workers grinning at him. He blinked at them and suddenly one of them grabbed his hand which caught him off guard.

"Tomorrow's your birthday right? Let's celebrate it together today!" The woman cheerfully suggested at him. A light slap hit on his back and he look up at his senior, which he was wearing a huge grin on his face.

"Oh really Nanase? Then let's celebrate it with drinks and the ladies!" His senior cheered follow by few other chefs and at this, Haruka grunted in disapproval.

"No thank you. I have plans today. Now please excuse me." Haruka excused himself and went to the changing room, ignoring the squeals from the women, talking about 'Nanase-kun is so cool!'. His senior blinked and put a hand on his waist.

"Well then, I suppose we will celebrate it tomorrow then buddy?" His senior ask and at this, Haruka stop and look at his senior, a soft small on his face.

"Sure." He simply answered and stepped into the changing room, leaving his chefs collages to their plans to celebrate his birthday party tomorrow.

"See ya tomorrow Nanase! Be prepared for tomorrow!" That was the last thing Haruka heard from his senior before he closed the door. As the door closed, he let out a huge sighed that filled with tiredness. As he about to untie the apron tied around his waist, his finger felt a slight pain. He look at his right hand, his index finger were bandaged that was cause by an accident before today.

"Nanase-kun! Please bring me the glasses, I need to wash it!"

"Yeah sure." Haruka answered as he picked up a tray that filled with used glasses. As he picked it up, a glass fell down.

PRANGG!

"Nanase! Are you alright?!" A college rushed towards him as Haruka quickly picked up the broken shards and suddenly he felt sting on his index finger. He looked on his finger, a trail of blood flow out from the tip of the finger.

"Hey! Take the med kit will ya! Nanase, ya alright buddy?" His senior asked as he took Haruka's hand and examined it, a sighed escaped his lips.

"You've got to be kidding me, that's a deep cut there." The senior mumbled as Haruka tried to pull his hand away but failed since his senior was stronger.

"Hey, someone clean that up. I need to bandage Nanase's hand here. Ya should be careful Nanase. You're one of the top chef here." His senior spoke up as he started to clean up the cut, ignoring Haruka as he winced at the pain.

"I'm sorry…" Haruka apologized and his senior sighed at this.

"It's fine. Not ya fault. There, it's done. Still think ya can do the works Nanase?" He asked and Haruka nodded, a grin spread on his senior face.

"T-Thanks." Haruka mumbled then his senior slapped on Haruka's back, which cause him to gasp in pain.

"It's fine it's fine! I know ya are a tough guy! Now get back to work." At this, Haruka went back to his station, then he heard his female friends talking amongst themselves.

"Hey, did you know that if someone broke something, that's means something bad is happened to their love one?"

"Eh?! I thought that were just a rumor!"

"I heard that too! Then…"

"Ladies! Get back to work!" His senior barked then they scattered back to their workplace, ignoring their little gossip before. Haruka shrugged at this and continue his work.

Haruka pull out his blue cellphone and he blinked.

'That's odd…'

There's no message or call from Rin, which was odd as Rin is the type who always sent him spams and missed called him. But he shrugged it off, thinking Rin might be busy with his work at the police department.

Haruka and Rin started dating after they graduated from high school, and the others accept it easily as they said "You guys been like a lover before you even start dating.", which cause the two embarrassed but they were glad their friends accept their relationship.

Haru left the restaurant through the back door and as he walked out from the alley, a patrol car suddenly stopped in front of him which caused him to startle. He blinked and suddenly the window been pulled down, revealing a bloody Sousuke. Haruka's eyes widen, clearly terrified by Sousuke's appealing.

"Get in Nanase."

"Yamazaki? W-What happen to you?"

"Just get the hell in."

"Tell me Yamazaki! Where's Rin?! What happen to you?!" Haruka shouted at the bigger man as Sousuke sighed at this. He stepped out from the car and Haruka's eyes widen in horror seeing Sousuke's whole front top body were covered in blood, and his heart began to thumping fast till his ears can hear it.

"T-That's not your blood… is it?" Haruka merely whispered the question and Sousuke nodded, his teal green eyes show a pitiful look.

"Rin got shot, and he's heading towards the hospital right now. Now let's go a- NANASE!" Sousuke eyes widen as he quickly grabbed the wrist of weaken Haruka, preventing him from falling. He pulled the fainted Haruka towards him and he hugged the shorter man waist, his face clearly showed annoyance in them as he clicked his tongue.

"Idiot. You and Rin…" Sousuke cursed under his breath as he picked Haruka up and get him into the patrol car.

xXxXx

A young red head woman was waiting out the emergency room as she was silently praying for her beloved brother safety and wishing that everything will be alright.

'Onii-chan, please be alright…'

"Gou-chan!" A familiar voice calling her out and she look towards the direction as she wiping the tears away. She quickly stood up and waving at him.

"M-M-Makoto-senpai!" Gou call him out as he rushing towards her and suddenly her small frame were wrapped by his strong arms around her. Her eyes widen in surprised as Makoto rubbing his big hand on her back in circle, which cause her starting to cry again.

"Gou-chan… let it all. Let it all out. It's okay…" He whispered softly into her ear as her body began to tremble as sobs were heard from the young woman. Makoto smiled softly as he began to humming her favorite tune into her ear. He wanted to comfort her, he want to be there for her as he knew she need him now.

"O-Onii-chan… Onii-chan…" She breathed through her sobs as Makoto only listening to her and soothed her.

After a few minutes, Gou finally calmed down as she sat down on the chair. Her eyes were puffy from the tears as her lips were swollen because of she's been biting it. Makoto rubbed her shoulder as she landed her head against his shoulder.

"Tachibana, Gou." A voice call both of them out, the said two looked up and saw Sousuke standing in front of them as his expression was unclear of his emotions.

"Yamazaki-kun." Makoto greeted him with a soft yet weak smile as Sousuke nodded back as suddenly he felt a pair of arms around him. He looked down and saw Gou sniffling as she nuzzled into his broad chest for comfort. Sousuke gave her a small smile and kisses her forehead as his teal green eyes traveled to Makoto, the olive head man eyes darken, a jealousy written on his face which cause Sousuke to smirk. But the smirked fade away as Gou pulled herself away from him as she look up at him.

"S-S-Sousuke-kun. W-Where's Haruka-senpai?" Gou asked the taller man and at this, Sousuke sighed. Makoto nodded his head, also questioning him.

"He passed out after I told him what happen. And he's in one of the ward room right now." Sousuke explained briefly and the two nodded in understanding.

"Gou-chan, please sit down. You still tired…" Makoto softly whispered to her as he led her sit back down on the chair, a tired sighed came out from her.

"Have you eaten yet Gou?" Sousuke asked as a hint of concerned were heard in his voice as she shook her head.

"I haven't eaten since morning today…" She whispered softly and at this, Makoto and Sousuke abruptly stood up.

"I-I'll go buy some drinks!"

"I'll go buy some snacks. You wait here Gou." And at this, the two men walked away towards the cafeteria, leaving the young woman alone as she giggled at their attics. After they left, she looked down on her knees as her vision become blurry again.

"Onii-chan…" She whispered as tears dropped on her skirt as she closed her face with her hands, wishing for her beloved brother safety.

xXxXx

"How did that happened to Rin, Yamazaki-kun?" Makoto spoke up as he entered the coins into the vending machine. Sousuke sipped his bottle energy drink as his eyes wandered to Makoto.

"Why should I tell you?" Sousuke replied and Makoto looked towards the taller man, his expressions darken which cause Sousuke to smirk in amusement.

"You've been giving me that face two times today Tachibana. Now, why should I tell you?"

"I want to know as behalf for Haru and Gou-chan." Makoto answered and Sousuke closed his eyes as he sat down on the chair.

"Well, it happened…"

FLASHBACK

"Matsuoka! Yamazaki! I heard you guys will get promotion when you solve the case!"

"Save your breath after the case done. We pretty busy right now." Rin replied with a huge grin and he earned a slap on the back by his fellow officer.

"Fired up huh? That's good! Anyway, Superintendent Matsumoto will held a meeting this afternoon. Don't forget alright?"

"Ah thanks! Let's grab some lunch Sousuke. I'm starving!" Rin grinned as he stretches his back and they went to have some lunch.

xXxXx

Rin humming as he ate his lunch happily, which caught the taller man attention. Rin is humming? That's a rare occasion. Sousuke placed his elbow on the table as he put his chin on his palm while watching Rin eating his lunch. Rin noticed his stare stop eating as his face show a confused look.

"What is it?"

"Something happen between you and Nanase?" And with this, Rin was caught off guard by this question as he accidentally bit his tongue. He held his tongue in pain as Sousuke laughing at this.

"So, care to tell me buddy?" Sousuke asked again as Rin drink his tea as his red eyes wander to a shop across the café. Sousuke followed his gaze and his eyes widen in surprised then turned to grinning Rin.

"That's… Don't tell me you going to…"

"I'm going to buy a silver bracelet for Haru later. And I'm going to propose to him after this damn case is done." A grin appeared on his face, and Sousuke gave him a small smile as he drank his black coffee.

"Good luck with that buddy. Now tell me, how is he in bed?" At this, Rin gave Sousuke a death glare as Sousuke chuckled at his reaction. Teasing the shark boy? It's his top hobby till now.

"Anyway, let's get going. The meeting will be soon." Rin spoke up and Sousuke nodded.

xXxXx

"The main suspect of this robbery case is Matsumori Yotsu." The superintendent started as he show a picture of a man with droppy black dead eyes with messy short brown hair were shown on the screen.

"Matsumori Yotsu, age 37. Single. Birthdate on March 18 19xx, originate from Osaka. His crimes are selling drugs to high school students and 5 case of rape. Recently been release from jail five months ago. Current location is unknown." Inspector Shiratori read of the information as Rin and Sousuke check through the papers in their hands.

"Why do you think he's one of the suspect sir?" Rin asked as six video clips of the scenes were shown on the big screen. Superintendent Matsumoto eye went to screen and he raised his hand to signal for pause. The videos were paused and he took out his laser pen and began to circle on a person a video, then next one, on to the next one.

"So you are saying that this Matsumori is…"

"Yes, he's there. Each of this robbery crime, he's always there and pretend to be one of the victims."

"And he might be the one who inform the robbers the situation of the crime scenes huh?" Sousuke ask for confirmation and Superintendent Matsumoto nodded.

"And every time the police came to investigate the victims, he went off." Inspector Shiratori continued and Superintended Matsumoto nodded in agreement.

"Two inspectors have been tailing him since early this morning. Officer Matsuoka, Officer Yamazaki, you both will continue their work and follow Matsumori. He might lead us to their headquarters. We're expecting good news from both of you."

"Yes sir!" Rin and Sousuke stood up and saluted, and the superintended chuckled.

"The meeting is dismissed. Now good luck." The officers walked out the meeting room, followed by Rin. As Sousuke about to step out, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw his superintendent behind him. Matsumoto looked over to Rin's retreating figure then his attention went to Sousuke.

"Officer Yamazaki."

"Yes sir? Do you need something?"

"Ah no, that's not it. I'm wondering if Matsuoka had found someone yet?" Matsumoto ask and Sousuke blinked, remembering Rin's words to him at lunch before.

'I'm going to buy a silver bracelet for Haru later. And I'm going to propose to him after this damn case is done.'

A soft smiled plastered on his face and nodded.

"Yes, he's found someone alright." Sousuke answered and his superior nodded, then his eyes wander to the floor, deep in thought.

"Sir?" Inspector Shiratori called and Matsumoto look at Sousuke again.

"Tell Matsuoka, don't act too reckless and be careful."

"Why is that?" Sousuke asked, curiosity kicked in.

"It's always happened in TV series and movies right? Stories about a guy who got shot by a criminal and killed on the duty right after he make an important promise with his wife or lover?" Superintendent Matsumoto spoke, which cause Sousuke to tilt his head to side.

"Ah, those are only happened in the stories right?"

"It's happened to one of my friend when I still an officer." Matsumoto start as he looked towards the window, staring up at the sky. "He was planning to get marry with his fiancé next month. And in order to impress her, he acted rashly and got run over by suspect's car. Before he was dying, he told me with regret, 'If only I waited until backup arrived before stopping him.'"

His eyes shown concerned and worries, and it's surprised both Shiratori and Sousuke.

"Officer Matsuoka reminded me of my friend, and that's why I want you to take care of him. I don't want the same thing happened ever again."

"Yes sir. Now please excuse me." Sousuke excused himself and walked out from the room, leaving two of the policemen alone in the room.

"Good luck to all of you."

xXxXx

They've been follow Matsumori and he led them to an abandon warehouse. As Rin about to follow him inside, he was stopped by Sousuke.

"Rin, we need to wait for backups." Sousuke reminded and Rin sighed.

"It's fine Sousuke. We got enough officers to take them down." Rin confidently replied as Sousuke frowned at this.

"We should wait for the backups."

"Sousuke, those criminals bastards is right in front of us. And we got enough people. Stop worrying now and come on." Rin smirk, the frowned haven't left Sousuke's face. He felt something fishy is happening here…

xXxXx

Sousuke kept hiding behind the spot as gunshots keep hitting the crates he's hiding with. As he was reloading, he didn't notice a gleam of snipe that was aiming on him. The sniper smirk and he without hesitate pull the trigger.

"Sousuke!" Rin shouted and as Sousuke look up, his eyes widen. Teal green eyes met with red eyes, an emotions show a pain one.

"R-Rin!"

"Y-y-you alright?" Rin whispered as a trickle of blood coming out from lips, a smile on his face the suddenly his knees feel weaken and he fall on the floor, but Sousuke manage to caught him. At the same time, the sniper let another shot on Sousuke but he managed to dodge it by hiding behind another crate in front of him. Then, his focus changed to Rin.

"O-oi Rin! Hang on!" Sousuke called out as he held Rin's weaken body tighter to him.

"Retreat! Retreat!" A command are heard over the werehouse as people scattered out from the abandon building, leaving both cops alone. Suddenly sirens were heard outside the warehouse and the police manage to catch all of the criminals that try to escape.

"Officer Yamazaki! We manage to capture them all! And al- wait, what happen to Officer Rin?"

"Call the ambulance now! He got shot!" Sousuke commanded and the fellow police saluted and quickly dialed a number.

Sousuke looked down at him and put his finger on Rin's neck to check the pulse, it was weak that it shaken him.

"Idiot. I'm the one who should protect you…" He cursed under his breath as he hugged Rin to him closer.

"How am I supposed to tell Gou and your mother about this? How am I supposed to tell Nanase about this…?" Sousuke whisper, a heavy guilty weighted his shoulder. Then suddenly he felt a warm yet cold hand on his cheeks. He looked down and saw a weak smirk on Rin's face.

"That fucker shot me on the spot…" Rin weakly whispered then he coughed out blood. Sousuke eyes widen and Rin frowned at this.

"I'm not a ghost…"

"Idiot! Why did you protect me?! You shouldn't!"

"I can't lose my partner and best friend… because of my own carelessness right…?" Rin questioned him as Sousuke's eyes widen.

"Tell Haru… I'm sorry… that I can't keep the promise…" Rin's hand fell down on the ground as Sousuke's eyes widen in horror.

"RIN!"

FLASHBACK ENDED

"If only I stop him from entering that warehouse…" Sousuke whispered in his clasped hands as his voice hinted disappointment. He was disappointed with himself, if he just…

"It's not your fault Yamazaki-kun." Makoto spoke up as he sipped his drink from the canned drink. Gou was asleep, making Sousuke's leg as her pillow. Sousuke look down on her with a guilty look on his face.

"I… still haven't told Gou about this…" Sousuke whispered as he softly caressed her red hair, an understanding smile on Makoto's face.

"Well… It's Rin we talking about. He won't think about his own safety. He put his surroundings at first…" And at this, Sousuke nodded in agreement.

"Tachibana."

"Uhn?"

"Can you… tell Nanase about Rin later?" Sousuke requested and Makoto blinked at this. Then he shook his head.

"It'll be better if you the one that'll told him Yamazaki-kun."

"But!"

"Haru will understand." Makoto ushered him, and Sousuke sighed at this as he pulled his bangs back with his fingers, a groan heard from his throat.

"Fine…"

"Yamazaki-san?" A nurse called him out and the both men looked towards her.

"The person you brought in earlier, he's already awake."

xXxXx

"Haru!"

"Uhnn…" Haruka groan as he stirred himself, he felt a warm breath on his ear which cause him to frowned in his sleep.

"Hey, wake up idiot."

"What…?" Haruka answered and his eyes suddenly widen as he backed away in surprised.

"R-Rin! Y-You too close!" Haruka shouted and Rin grinned at his boyfriend.

"It's not like we never that close before."

"Rin!"

"Ok ok! I was joking! Sheesh! Get up now or you're going to be late." Rin told him as he left the room, leaving the just awaken Haruka. Then he peeked back inside.

"I made breakfast. Hurry up."

"Since when did you cook breakfast? Oi Rin!"

xXxXx

"Morning sleepy head." Rin greeted with a grin as he serve the breakfast on the table. Haruka nodded as he yawned then scratches his head suddenly his eyes sparkles with amazement.

"Rin…"

"Yes Haru?" Suddenly Haruka put his palm on Rin's forehead, a worried expression on his face.

"You don't have a fever…"

"Oi. What are you doing?"

"I was wondering why did you woke up early in the morning and made breakfast for us. Are you sure you're Matsuoka Rin?" Haruka asked and Rin growled at his remarks.

"Of course I am idiot! Just eat the damn breakfast already." Rin grumbled as he sat down on the chair, followed by Haruka. They prayed and began to eat the delicious breakfast by Rin, which made Haruka's heart fluttered with happiness.

"Another bank robbery happened yesterday evening at XX Street…" The reporter trailed of and Rin let out a frustrated sighed hearing this. Haruka looked up at his red head boyfriend.

"Rin, how's the case going so far?" Haruka asked with a gentle voice which soothed the red head man.

"Those damn bastards are good. They didn't leave any trails at all. But somehow Sousuke solved a question and now we got a lead. We're going to have another meeting this afternoon." Rin explained briefly as Haruka nodded while he continued eating his breakfast.

"Hey Haru." Rin called out and Haruka look up, meeting with a gentle looking Rin.

"I'll get promotion if this case is solved."

"Eh? No way? Really?" Haruka asked in disbelieved and Rin nodded with a grin as he put his elbow on the table and landed his chin on his palm, a soft smile on his face.

"Yep. You should be proud of me Haru." Rin replied as Haruka gave him a soft smile and continue eating his lunch.

"And then we will…" Rin trailed of happily, and suddenly Haruka felt a pain in his chest, a pain that he never recognize before. He looked up and Rin and somehow, Rin seem so far away from him. His eyes widen in horror.

'What is this?'

xXxXx

"I'll be going now!" Rin called out as he tied his shoes. Haruka came to the front with an uncomfortable look on his face. He didn't know why, but he felt something wrong will be happen, something that will make him regret letting Rin off to his work, but it's his duty as an officer and Haruka knew it, so he can't do anything and just see Rin getting himself prepared in the dark blue uniform.

"Rin…" Haruka whispered then Rin looked towards him, and he tilted his head to side.

"Haru? Are you alright? You look pale." Rin asked with a hint of concern as he held Haruka's cheeks in his hands. Haru sighed as he pushed Rin's hands away.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I was just wondering what do you want for dinner tonight?" Haruka asked and at this, Rin gave him a huge grin.

"With Haru's cooking, anything will be fine! But…"

"But…?"

"Can I have you after dinner?" And at this, Rin felt a punch on his back which caused him to winced in pained.

"I was joking I was joking! But really…" Rin's gaze softened as he wrapped his arms around Haruka's waist, as he planted a small kiss on his boyfriend lips. "… I wouldn't mind having you for a dessert." Rin whispered seductively as he licked his lips which cause Haruka's face redden, and Rin earned another punch again, but on the shoulder this time.

"Rin!" Haruka pouted which cause the red head to laughing loudly and he kissed Haruka's forehead lovingly.

"Rin…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have to go…?" Haruka asked in whispered tone, as Rin's eyes widen in surprised but a soft smile then crept on his face. He patted Haruka's head gently.

"It's my duty. So I had to. What is it?" Rin asked as Haruka shook his head.

"It was nothing." Haruka replied and Rin sighed heavily at this. Haruka seem worried about something from the breakfast, which cause Rin a worry. And Haruka asked the question wasn't helping it either.

"Alright then, I'll be going now." And as Rin about to leave, he felt his wrist been pulled back and he looked around to see Haruka's face darken with horror, terrified about something. Rin furrowed his eyebrows and turned back to him then he held Haruka's hand gently in his.

"Haru, something's wrong with you. Are you sure you alright?"

"R-Rin… Don't go."

"Huh?"

"Just… Don't go."

"Haru… Hey babe, you sure you okay?"

'No I'm not.'

"I will be late."

'No, please don't go.'

"Haru, oi Haru. You're scaring me. Something is wrong here. Just what is it?"

'How am I supposed to tell you that when you step out from the door, you will be…'

"Promise me Rin."

"Haru?"

"Promise me, you will be save when you come home." Haruka whispered as Rin blinked in confusion. But seeing Haruka like this…

"I promise. I promise I will be safe and sound when we got home for dinner today." Rin whispered as he gave Haruka an assured smile, and Haruka nodded. Rin then gave Haruka a shower of kisses, on the forehead, on the eyelids, on the nose, on the cheek, and then on the lips. Their lips locked into a passionate one, as somehow they try to pull each other heat and warmth into themselves, savoring their taste. They didn't know why, but it felt like this will be the last time…

"I'll be going now. Be careful on your way work Haru."

"You too Rin. Be careful on your work."

"Oh I'll be fine. Now see ya!" And with that, Rin left their apartment. Haruka expression dropped as he rub his arm in insecurities.

"Rin… why is it felt so empty right now…?"

xXxXx

"And today on the last place is… Aquarius! Oh no that's too bad!" The woman voice in the Oha-Asa gasped as a cartoon character Aquarius are crying under the spotlight. Haruka was preparing for work as he turned on the TV to fill up the quietness in the apartment. He turned towards the TV in silent.

"Something bad will happen to Aquarius today! And it might even danger your life! So treasure it and be careful for the rest of the day! Your companion of the day is Cancer and your lucky item for today is… a Shark Keychain! As long as you have your lucky items, you will be safe! Now on to the next…"

"Ridiculous…" Haruka mumbled under his breath as he walked towards the entrance of the apartment. As he stepped out from the apartment and locked the door, he didn't notice a shark keychain that were left on the floor of the entrance.

xXxXx

Haruka's blinked his eyes open slowly as his vision was blurry. What was that…? Is that a dream? But that was exactly from this morning, so… is that a memory?

'Rin…!' He remembered and as he was about to sit up, he felt a slight pain on the head which caused him to hiss. He looked around his surrounding and recognized this is as the hospital room.

"How did I…"

"Oh you're awake. That's a relief." A woman voice spoke up and he turned to see a young nurse smiling down at him. He blinked at her.

"How did I get here?" He asked as she checking his pulse and temperature. She looked at him as the smile still on her face.

"Oh the young handsome man brought you here. If I'm not mistaken, his name is Yamazaki-san." The nurse explained as Haruka kept silence. She tilted her head and blinked at his silence.

"Do you want to meet him?" She asked and he simply nodded. She nodded back and left the room. Haruka looked down at his covered legs, his hand gripping the blanket as his vision blurry from the tears. He quickly wiped it away and bitten his inside cheek.

Knock Knock!

"A-Ahh come in." Haruka called in as the door opened, revealing a guilty looking Sousuke. Haruka gulped as Sousuke stepping closer to him and he sat on the chair besides the bed.

"Yamazaki…" Haruka whispered as Sousuke raised his hand, collecting himself for this. He let out a huge sighed as he open his teal green eyes and look towards Haruka.

"Yamazaki, I want to hear it." Haruka started as Sousuke eyes widen at his request. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't tell Haruka what happened to Rin, how Rin was the one who got shot. He couldn't.

"Just tell me."

"But Nanase!"

"It's fine. Just… tell me please…" Haruka begged as his bangs cover his upper face, his expression were unclear. Sousuke sighed heavily and began to tell Haruka.

He tell Haruka from where they had their meeting, tailing the suspect, follow him to the warehouse and got detected by the damn criminals.

"I was reloading my gun as I letting my guard down, and I didn't notice a sniper was aiming at me. Suddenly, somehow, Rin noticed and suddenly he came in front of me. H-He…" Sousuke began to clasp his hands tighter as he began to tremble. This feeling when telling Haruka everything weighted him, as he felt guilty because…

"It's not your fault Yamazaki…"

"Huh?"

"It's not your fault," Haruka whispered as he looked outside the night sky. "… it was that idiotic moron fault. For being careless and idiot and rushing and… and…" Tears start to stream down from his blue eyes as he gripped his blanket tighter into his fisting hands.

'It was my fault. If only I didn't let Rin go this morning…'

"Nanase… Rin asked me to tell you that he's sorry that he couldn't keep the promise." Sousuke whispered the last words of Rin and suddenly Haruka look up at him with determination look.

"Take me to the emergency room."

"But you just…!"

"I'm fine. Just take me there… please…" Haruka pleaded and Sousuke nodded.

xXxXx

"Haru!" "Haruka-senpai!"

Gou and Makoto rushed towards Haruka as he nod, greeted them. Gou smiled as she let out a sighed in relieved and look towards Sousuke.

"I heard it…" She began which cause the men to blink.

"Huh?"

"I heard it Sousuke, how my idiot onii-chan protected you…" Gou explained as tears began to pooling in her eyes. Makoto shushed her as he wiped the tears away as she hide her face on his chest, Makoto smiled as his green eyes wander to Sousuke, giving him a smirk which cause Sousuke eyes to darken. Haruka rolled his eyes and sat down on the waiting chair.

Hours has been passed, waiting for Rin came out from the room safely. They kept praying for Rin's safety.

"Hey, the light turned off." Makoto notified them as they looked towards the light on the door of the room. Indeed, it was off and suddenly the door opened and a surgeon and nurses walk out from the room.

"Doctor! How's my brother?!" Gou rushed towards the male doctor and the doctor turned towards them.

"Are you Matsuoka-san…"

"I'm his sister. How is he? Is he alright?" Gou questioned the doctor and he looked towards her.

"The bullet hit on his fatal point, which made things hard for us." The doctor began to explain as the four of the look at him as they held their breath.

"Matsuoka-san is…"
