Kuroki sighed, his insides over flowing with guilt. It had been a little over an hour since Haru and the idiot had left, but to him it felt like decades.
He could still remember. Her short, dead explanation to his asshole worthy question.
"They didn't need me. I was a useless, annoying little girl who only got in the way. I was a burden. I knew it myself."
Immediately, the only things he could think contradicted with her explanation so badly...
Haru? She's wasn't useless. Kuroki smiled bitterly; she was probably the strongest person he knew. Why else would he be following her? Her powers...they were so complex, so gentle...yet they were probably the most destructive force on the planet. At times he was even scared of them. Because when she entered that mode, when it felt as if she had thrown all of her emotions away...
He couldn't bare it.
She just...wasn't Haru. It wasn't her. And he knew her, no matter what the hell anyone else thought.
Just then a knock came at his door.
Kuroki sighed irritatedly, not having the energy, or the care to get up. He knew it wasn't Haru, it wasn't Tatsuko, it better not be Sataru, Leiko wouldn't even give him the shit of day...
That left Rin and Haruka.
Rin...He didn't really even talk to her. Fuck, she was Sataru's little sister! If he even so much as tried to be a 'pervert' as the others said, to her, Sataru would come chasing after him with his scary older brother powers and kill him.
So then it was Haruka.
Hn. Haruka was his little sister. Only difference being he wasn't over protective with her, unlike how Sataru was with Rin. Him and Haruka...they didn't really even talk.
Haruka and Rin were the same age, both sixteen. While him, Haru, Tatsuko, and Leiko were all seventeen, most of them going on eighteen pretty soon. Sataru was already eighteen, and he was the oldest.
Opening the door an inch or two, Kuroki put up his cold facade. "What is it, Haruka?"
And there she stood. Same blonde hair, same skin complexion, though...her eyes were green. She was much smaller, and her green eyes, were constantly shaking. "A-Ano..Onee-san, L-Leiko-c-chan said to..." Haruka paused, trying to find the breath to finish her sentence.
Kuroki sighed, scratching the back of his neck boredly. And her...He couldn't be scarey, or a bitch to her. She was so timid, and shy. And if you scared her, she would fucking shoot you with lightning class flames.
Not that she did it on purpose.
But she was a cry baby. She didn't like bothering people, and she didn't like people bothering her. She was quiet, didn't talk much, and when she did talk, you kind of just wished she'd shut up.
"Leiko wanted me to do what, Haruka?" Kuroki could feel the annoyance seeping out of his voice. He couldn't cuss around her either. If he did she would start crying and then burn him to a crisp with lightning.
"U-Um...She w-wanted you to...t-to a-ah, c-call Haru-sama a-and check if s-she was...o-okay..." Haruka looked up at her brother then, relieved that had she got the message out.
"Okay. You may leave now." Kuroki had murmured, already shutting the door.
One second before it was fully closed, "O-Okay. I love you."
Kuroki froze. Out of all the words in the world...the only ones she wouldn't stutter on were those...
She'd say it to him everyday, via the intercom they had set up in every room. He never said it back though. He didn't know why...he just didn't. Not even to his own blood related sister. But she still said it. Because she knew he was listening.
Kuroki could hear her foot steps, she was already walking away.
Blushing like the incompetent idiot he was, Kuroki opened his door again, calling out to his little sister softly. "..O-Oi.."
Haruka turned around, innocent green eyes curious. Her brother never stopped her before?
Kuroki sighed, turning away slightly. He was blushing. He murmured. "..I..I love you too.."
She smiled at him.

Haru sighed, finally taking refuge on a park bench.
This, was not good.
After crying like a baby for a few minutes, the brunette had fled, leaving her Rain Guardian's side and losing him in the process. She would call him, but currently, her phone was being held hostage by a nest of squirls.
SQUIRLS.
The brunette grumbled to herself. "Mou...Haru is such a baka..baka baka baka baka BAKA!" Reemphasizing in her old ways, Haru didn't even notice the dark presence descending towards her.
"You are disturbing the peace of Namimori's park, and are attracting unwanted attention. You will state your name and purpose this instant or..."
The dark voice had paused.
"I will bite you to death."
—
Tatsuko groaned exasperatedly, blue eyes wary and brain not knowing where the hell he was.
Suddenly his phone rang.
Praying it was Haru, the Rain Guardian quickly reached for his phone, fumbling with it at first, he finally answered. "Hello?"
"Oi, idiot. Put Haru on the phone. She's not answering her's for some reason."
Shit.
...Just, shit.
"A-Ah..Kuroki...hahaha, w-what are you doing..? Haha.." He couldn't tell him he lost Haru! If Kuroki screamed then Sataru would come and THEN he would be dead.
DEAD.
"The hell are you talking about?" Tatsuko could practically hear the Cloud Guardian roll his eyes. "Just put her on the phone. Leiko told me to check on her."
"She um, c-can't..."
"Why the hell not?"
"Be-because.."
There was a pause. Then, "You motherfucker! Something happened, didn't it? I swear if you don't fucking tell me right now I'm getting Sataru!"
Tatsuko almost gasped, pulling the phone closer to his face, the Rain Guardian panicked. "N-NOTHING HAPPENED! STOP BRINGING UNNECESSARY PEOPLE INTO THIS!"
"Like shit nothing happened! Stop trying to hide it you little fucker!"
"Nothing happened! You have no proof whatsoe—"
"SATARU—"
"Wha—NO, SHUT UP! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"
Screaming into the phone like it was his lifeline, Tatsuko froze when a considerably deeper voice rang throughout his ear drums.
"Tch. Tatsuko," Sataru's murmurs were quiet. But to the Rain Guardian they were fucking deadly. "If something happens to Haru-sama, I will kill you. Understand?"
Tatsuko gulped, feeling as if he had lost his voice. All he could choke out was a yes.
Though it seemed as if the Mist Guardian wasn't done tormenting him yet. "We are her Guardian's, Tatsuko. Our job is to protect her – and if you let anything happen to her...you have failed not only as a Guardian, but as a friend.
I will then not hesitate to kill you, and will forever think of you as scum. I don't care what the hell happened. You keep her safe or your soul belongs to me."
After that, Tatsuko was left with the deafening silence of the dial tone.
But suddenly Sataru's words rang in his head.
If you let anything happen to her...you have failed not only as a Guardian, but as a friend.
Guilt flowing throughout his veins, Tatsuko clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He did that on purpose...
"Maa...I'm not accomplishing anything by sitting around." The Rain Guardian grinned. "Time to get serious."
Taking a deep breath, Tatsuko concentrated on his resolve until the small kanji inscripted on his right wrist faintly glowed a light blue. Closing his eyes for a few moments, Tatsuko let out a calm breath. He opened his eyes. They were now, a calm, tranquil blue. Much deeper then his regular color of eye sight.
Staring down at the inscription on his wrist, Tatsuko murmured. "Tracking flames...on."
Closing his eyes once again, Tatsuko was surprised at how many people in this area possessed deathperation flames. At least over five hundred. Scanning all the flames in the area for Haru's special mark, Tatsuko was relieved to find that she was...
2.5 miles north. Destination; Namimori Park.
Only problem being...there was another flame, very very close to hers. It was purple...cloud class, and it's aura almost rivaled Kuroki's.
Tatsuko grimaced. Yabe...I have to hurry.
Zooming up into the sky, the Rain Guardian headed for his destination. Only one thing left to do.
Find Haru.
—
"I will bite you to death."
Right when she had heard those words, Haru knew she was as good as dead. There was no more running. Not from him.
"H...Hibari-san..." Haru gulped, staring at the raven haired demon before her.
His hair had gotten shorter, having more spikes here and there...his eyes were a more pronounced blue now...and he no longer wore his Disciplinary Committee uniform. Now he wore jeans, black, fitted. A purple V-neck, and on top a simple black blazer.
He looked...almost normal.
It was weird.
He merely stared at her. "Hn. Another stalker.." Rolling his eyes, Haru watched in disbelief as he turned to walk away. "Yelling uselessly disturbs the peace of Namimori. Do it again and I wont hesitate to bite you to death."
His back was turned to her, and Haru couldn't help but...do the exact opposite of what he just said. "H-HEY! WAIT A MOMENT, HARU IS SO NOT A STALKER DESU!"
Glancing back at her, Haru almost froze under his glare. "Is that so?"
Haru hesitated at first, before calming down and reminding herself that she was no longer that oblivious little girl that made emo prefects mad at her because she brought up Sakura and Mukuro.
"Hai!" She answered confidently.
Expecting him to yell at her, Haru almost screamed when he appeared right before her, his arms crossed. "..Your name was Haru?" He questioned her apathetically.
"Um...yes.." Haru stared at the prefect weirdly, not expecting him to care about what her name was.
Suddenly he grabbed her wrist.
"H-Hey! L-Let go of Haru—"
"..A certain group of herbivores have been looking for you for a long time, Miura Haru." He shook his head. "Troublesome. Making me have to bring you back to them now."
"What..." Haru paused, voice dying in her throat. Oh..that.
"I'm bringing you back with me." Hibari said, walking in the direction of the High School, her arm in a firm vice grip.
"..No!" Haru yelled. She wasn't ready...She didn't have Tatsuko or anyone with her! ...She couldn't face them alone.. "H-Haru doesn't want to go!" She struggled, trying to free her arm from his grasp without hurting him.
"...Please do not resist." His voice was calm, cold. She had started crying. Now he didn't have the heart to force her. "I—"
"I'm sorry. But I'm going to have to ask you to get your hands off of my boss."
...Haru froze. She turned, she stared...
"Tatsuko..."
Oooooh :O! ..Suspense (not really..). LOL.
Hibari fangirls raise your hands :D! *raises hand*
Maa, I mostly added Hibari in this chapter, because someone who took the time to type me a long (very long, love long) review, had brought up the situation of them not thinking I was totally fair to Hibari in the first chapter.
And honestly, I agree. xD
I read it over one more time, and I admit, I didn't intend for him to be THAT mean xD So hopefully this makes up for it :) (Lol, does he still seem mean?)
If any of you have the heart to review for me, please do. :) I would love to read your guy's feed back.
And if you want a fast update, reviewing will guarantee that update 99.9% of the time :)
Thank you for your support; it means a lot, and I hope you guys have a good day :)
~ Lauren :)
Lol...Hibari VS Tatsuko.. xD
I wonder who's going to win. .-.
