Chapter 1: Dont leave me...
Mamoru woke with a start as a shrill scream echoed from the room down the hall. Stumbling out of his bed, cursing as he got tangled in the sheets, he ran down to Haruka's room and wretched the door open.
Haruka was hunched over on her bed, sobbing quietly. Mamoru slowly walked over, sitting down next to her.
"Haruka? Whats the matter with you?" He demanded. Mamoru was not known for being soft, and even his concern sounded more like an annoyed demand. Still, Haruka was used to his curt manner. She slowly started to calm down, but still didn't look up at him.
"It..was just..a bad dream…" She mumbled. He looked at her skeptically, raising an eyebrow.
"Must have been one hell of a dream, that scream could have woken the dead. About gave me a heart attack." He chuckled, trailing off when she didn't respond. "All right, so tell me about the dream then." He said. He frowned when she shook her head.
"I…I can't.." She said weakly. He scowled as she buried her head in her arms again
"And why is that?" He demanded. Again she shook her head, offering no other answer. Mamoru stood and was about to leave, grumbling, when Haruka's shaking hand reached out and grabbed his. He looked down at it, then at her.
"Please…don't leave me…" The girl was trembling. "Please…I'm s-sorry.." She trailed off sobbing. Bewildered, he sat down again, awkwardly putting his arm around her slender shoulders. He cautiously moved her hair out of her face, which was damp with sweat and tears.
"Haruka…why are you sorry?" He shook his head in confusion. He was the one who was an insensitive prick, so why was she apologizing? He waited but got no reply. Her halting gasps had calmed to deep even breathes. She'd fallen asleep again. He sighed and carefully tucked her back in. Standing he left the room, shutting the door quietly
Artists comments
As much as I wish otherwise, I do not own any of the UDDUP characters.
Allright, I truly love this manga, and have wanted to write a fan fic for it for some time now. At the begining of the manga, we find out Haruka had a vision that Mamoru would be her husband. However, very little has happened thus far to suggest a change in Mamoru's feelings toward the girl yet. He appears to see her as just another kid. This doesnt seem to be changing. I wanted to write a fan fic about this change happening, but without the characters seeming too different from the original artists portrayal. So i couldnt just have Mamoru wake up and realize he loved her. something had to push him to the realization. What will that be? read on to find out! :D
