I don't remember what did it, but something brought me back to reality and it made me jump. I suddenly thrashed out of Sasuke's grip and I could feel my hands shaking so I shoved them into my pockets. I looked at the ground with what looked like a troubled glare as my ears tuck against my head and my tail wraps around my right leg.
"I've got people to help," I mutter as I walk away from Sasuke as quickly as I can.
Once I get go through the small entrance onto the tracks—where the field is in the middle—I run because I know that Sasuke will be right behind me and I don't want to hear him so he can order me around and I don't want him to chase after me.
Just leave me alone, please, I keep repeating to myself.
I gather my things by the edge of the track and open the gate to leave when I hear someone call for me. I turn around and realize it was Temari who called for me but I just shout that I have to leave. I take off up the stone steps and try to focus on the good feeling the wind is giving me as it cools my brow because of my sweat. I feel myself hyperventilate as I reach the fence going around the track but then I jump right onto it and climb as fast as I can. I jump down as nimble as a cat might and then I take off again. I have the extreme need to just run away and I do just that, letting my feet carry me down the road to my house which is twenty minutes away if I walked.
As I come to the top of the hill to the sidewalk across the block where the school resides, I would've thought that I would've gotten tired, but I didn't. I keep running down the hill and I just wait for the moment to come where my legs are screaming at my brain for rest, but it doesn't come as I reach the bottom of another hill that starts to slope up.
I listen to my thumping heart and my calm breathing and I just feel the sway of my arms going back and forth as I run. I feel the beads of sweat dripping down the sides of my face as the wind cools it down and that seems to be the only thing I can feel or hear. I can't seem to connect myself to the world and I don't know what set this off in me. I keep running even when I reach the top of the hill. I don't know what's come over me but I'm running as if the devil himself were coming after me. I had the biggest urge to be home and there's no reason for it, but I have to fulfill it.
Only when I reach the corner of the block that my house is on do I feel my muscles start sending signals to my brain that I must stop my running. I can feel my brain telling me to stop running and to walk but I ignore it and keep running. I feel the pain in my legs and my breathing is harder but the goal and yearning for my house seemed to trump the screaming burning sensation in my legs.
I see the grass for my house and just when I step unto it I fall. I let myself fall but keep my head from smashing into the ground by at least supporting my fall with my hands. I lay there breathing heavily while letting the sweat drip down my face. The wind has stopped and then do I realize that it was never blowing in the first place.
I cough and grunt as I pull myself up off of the ground. I walk into the backyard and leave my bag on our picnic table and then I climb unto our trampoline. I go into the middle and then I lay there on my back, just staring at the sky. I feel so tired; so tired, in fact, that I'm too tired to just lay there or even go to sleep. I want nothing more than to just not to feel anything around me.
I want to move but my body won't let me. I want to sleep but my mind won't let me. I want to talk but my heart won't let me. I want to shout at the top of my lungs but my mouth won't let me. I want to sob but my eyes won't let me. I want to call myself insane but my tongue won't let me. I want to bash my head against a wall but my muscles won't let me. I want to walk to my bed but my feet won't let me. I want to think but my brain won't let me. I want to feel but my emotions won't let me.
I want to do something but nothing won't let me.
So I lay there and do absolutely nothing. All I do is blink and breathe even if I want to do so much more than that. I almost literally feel like an empty shell. All I can do is stare straight forward and absently watch the clouds go by as the sky quickly starts to darken into twilight.
At this point I would feel like I'm mentally insane but I can't.
I eventually lift a shaking hand and stare at it. It takes a little moment until I actually do something a little unthinkable.
I slap myself.
I feel the stinging sensation immediately go through my cheek to my jaw and I sit up and gingerly hold my cheek. I blink wearily and sigh to myself knowing that Nothing's spell has been broken (not an actual person).
At this point I do some of the things that my mind and body wouldn't let me do. I put my mouth into my hands and scream as loudly as I can while muffling it. When that's done I start shouting at myself at the top of my lungs about what a mad person I am. I feel the hot tears crawl down my face while the last beads of sweat creep down the sides of my head. I feel so much and I'm thinking so much that it's giving me whiplash and I actually bash my head against the trampoline in an attempt to sooth the storm creating havoc in my head.
I breathe heavily since this was a tiring deed in itself. I hold my breath for a moment and look around in confusion and I can literally feel myself feel insane. I slap myself again and I finally seem to get all sense back. I shake my head to get rid of the last shred of insanity I just had and I cough to get rid of the evidence of bawling. I rub my face with my shirt to clear away the evidence that tears and sweat leave behind and I take a calming breath as I get up. I go to the edge of the trampoline and I feel static electricity come up and bite me but then I jump down onto the ground.
I take my stuff and go into the house and go straight to my room. I throw my stuff onto the floor as I close my door. I take off my socks and cleats before taking off my shirt and putting on a cleaner one on the floor. I look at my bed and breath heavily again, but with fatigue of wanting to sleep. I lean forward and I'm asleep before I even hit the bed.

I grip my books to my chest as I enter the school. My ears are tucked back while my tail is sticking close to my legs as I stare at the stone tiles that make the school's floors. I have no idea what's going to happen today. I admit it's got my heart racing but I keep telling myself that I've got to take it one step at a time. The first thing I've got to do is try to avoid talking to Sterling.
I go up the stairs and go down the hallway until I come to the half-way point and I stop at my locker. I put everything away and take what I need. I close my locker and turn to my left and take a couple steps before I stop and turn the other way since I remembered that I ran into Sterling going that way.
I go down the other flight of stairs and then I head to my first class. I set my things down when I go into the classroom and then I come outside. I just want to hide in the girl's bathroom until class starts… maybe I'll even skip the whole day. Surely my parents would understand if I told them I was having major guy troubles along with Name troubles.
I turn around and head for the door, fully intending to go into hiding in the girl's bathroom but then I run into the one person I'd rather have avoided or ignored. When Sasuke realizes it's me he stops me from moving by grabbing my shoulders.
"Haruka, what happened yesterday? You just ran off," Sasuke said as he looked me square in the eyes. I look away and I feel my ears tuck back. I feel my face heat up just slightly. I mutter, "I was too loaded with information."
"How do you think I feel?" Sasuke asked, tightening his grip a little. Sasuke looks around then grabs my wrist and leads me out of the room. We go to the nearest exit and go outside and Sasuke takes us to where he thinks we can speak privately. Sasuke presses to remind me of his previous question by asking, "Well?"
"I expect that you must've felt pretty betrayed and worse then I feel right now?" I answer in a way that makes it sound like a question since I'm not really sure about what Sasuke wants to hear.
"It's close but not good enough," Sasuke says as he runs his hand down his face.
"Well I'm sorry if I'm not as cold inside as you are," I grumble mostly to myself.
"You think-oh never mind. I don't want to fight you anymore," Sasuke said as he shook his head. "I know that we must've gotten off on the wrong foot but let's just put all of that behind us."
"That's easier said than done," I say as I roll my eyes.
"So listen, that time when you grabbed your ears and spazzed in gym class-"
"I didn't spazz," I correct Sasuke with a reproachful glance and tone.
"Whatever, what I was trying to ask was if you heard anything like… another Fighter Unit?" Sasuke continues.
"I guess, since only the Fighter Unit can hear another Fighter Unit," I answer a bit vaguely.
"Alright so now we know who is the Fighter Unit. I think we should just get to class," Sasuke says almost as if saying he gives up.
Sasuke walks away and I shrug and follow him. Once inside the school he goes toward the classroom but I take a right and go down the hallway quickly just hoping that he wouldn't find out that I didn't follow him. I round the corner safely and then I head to the girl's bathroom. When I'm there I get into a stall and stand there, not really sure about what to do now because my mind just feels so crammed full of useless nonsense.
I lightly growl to myself and mess up my hair in an attempt at empting my head for some reason. I couldn't help but wonder why I had to be in such a confusing situation when I tried to be as simple as I could possibly be. It made me wonder if life is out to get me or something.
I rub my face and sigh wondering if I should really skip school in a bathroom, call home saying I'm sick or if I should just face the rest of the school day.
I stay in the bathroom for a while. When I hear the bell ding for classes to start I start to get anxious about whether I should stay or go. But since I've never done a real bad thing in my life—like skip school—I end up coming out of the bathroom and rushing to class because I also remembered that I left my stuff in there.
How stupid of me.
I wanna hear from you guys if you want me to continue this sequel to Timeless. I know I had a lot of people reading that series, and at least two people asked to see the sequel. I just wanna give this a try to see if you guys are willing to read it.
