NO!

|The local park, 7:00 PM|

"Hey, Fujiru-chan~ Shouldn't we be heading home?" The sun was setting in the distance.

"Can't we stay out a little longer? Dad knows you'll get me home safely." The stars were starting to come out.

"Fine, fine~ Only for Fujiru-chan." They both stood by the lake, staring at the beautiful view of the last light of day fading into night.

::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;

They were both walking back to the apartment compound. Streetlights were the only light source, since the moon was hidden in the clouds. Both Haruhi and Phix felt uneasy about the shadows and alleys they had to pass.

... Now. The thug nodded, though the person who spoke on the other side of the earpiece couldn't tell. He jumped out, startling both the male and female, who covered her mouth to stifle her scream.

The man's hand snapped out, grabbing Phix, and his other hand swiftl knocked him unconsious.

"No! Leave him alone!" Haruhi yelled. The man glared at her, and she cowered. The man was frightening, because all she could see was his glowing red eyes in the darkness.

The man stepped over to her, hitting a pressure point easily. Haruhi blacked out.

::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;::;;

"Nnnh..." Haruhi groaned, sitting up and rubbing her head. What had happened last night...? "!" Her eyes widened. She was at her apartment - outside of it, mind you - and Phix was-! Where was he?!

She jumped up, leaning against the wall from a dizzy spell for a minute or two, before stepping in front of Phix's door.

Knock, knock, knock.

No answer.

Knock, knock knock!

No answer...

BANG, BANG, BANG!

Again, no answer... So, that means...!

"NO!" Haruhi yelled, fear coursing through her. Her brown eyes were wide and magnified by tears. "N-no, he can't be..." She fell to her knees, crying. Cursing last night, cursing that man, cursing herself. Why hadn't she just let Phix take her home when the sun had started setting...?
