This is the end of the story... hehehe. It's fun-filled.
---------
Haru and Rin enjoyed conversations in the shower stall from then on. One such conversation took place four days after the incident with the pin.
Rin felt she had been talking too much, but whenever she stopped, Haru would look at her eagerly, and she would feel comitted to continue; finally, she halted, catching her breath. Haru blinked at her. Then he said,
"You should kill Kyo."
Rin stared for a moment, not understanding what he was saying. "...What?"
"He's ruining you. You have to kill him."
"What? Why?? He's done nothing wrong!"
Haru persisted. "You really should kill him."
"But-" Rin protested, "that would land me in jail!"
"No, it wouldn't. You would get away." Haru's hair was heavy from the humidity in the shower- he pushed it out of his face.
Rin stood up suddenly; Haru looked at her.
"Kill him," he instructed, and he did so with such an alarming tone that Rin tripped over the shower threshold and fell, catching herself on the sink. Haru stood and moved towards her, producing a long sliver needle and pressing it to the large blue vein in his left wrist. In the split second while it happened, Rin realized that he was going to force her to do what he wanted.
Rin suddenly felt as if there was something inside of her skull. She pawed frantically at the sides of her head, her mouth opening and closing involuntarily, and she fell onto the floor. The feeling intensified until she let out a shrill scream, followed by another one; she fumbled for her doorknob, but finding her hands to lack versatility, she pounded several times on the wood before curling into a ball and gasping. Her vision became black as her eyes rolled back in her head. Her mouth continued to open and close on its own. She began to thrash about on the oak floor.
The feeling subsided. Rin clutched her head in her hands and huddled over; Haru, who had apparrently removed the pin from his wrist, stood over her. He opened his mouth to say something; Rin did not give him the chance.
She lashed out with her arm and wrapped her fingers around his ankle; she gave a tremendous heave and, much to her surprise, Haru collapsed quite easily onto the floor beside her. She bent over him, punched him hard in the mouth, and threw the door open.
She didn't have to turn around to know that Haru was standing up. Rin kicked off her heels and tore through the house, her bare feet pounding on the old floors. She reached the kitchen and, on an impulse, siezed a huge butcher knife from the carving block. Haru entered the room-- Rin cried out, "Stay away!"
Haru massaged his jaw. Rin realized he was not going to stay away; she launched herself into the entry hall, slipping and almost falling on a throw rug, and bolted to the door. She slammed herself against it and with one hand wrenched the knob-- Haru had locked it. She muttered an explitive and whirled around-- there was Haru, no more than ten feet from her. She spun her head around frantically, and after settling on a huge bay window, she launched herself at it and shattered the glass with her heel.
At this point she doubted Haru would follow her; she jumped through the window, taking no notice to the hedge beneath, and began to sprint out into the street in front of her yard. "Shit," she hissed as she noticed a large wedge of glass caught in the side of her foot. No sooner did she slow down did Haru grab her shoulder and spin her around; in terror, Rin began to cry. The one thing she could remember from her defense class was to scream, "No!!"
She wrenched free of his grasp and, in desperation, made a fierce overhand slash at the air where she presumed Haru was standing. A warm liquid splashed her face; she rubbed her fist across her eyes and growled in exasperation when a large streak of black mascara marked her hand.
Suddenly if felt as if Rin had been wearing earmuffs, and they had been lifted. Then the world crashed down on her as she realized that Kyo was lying facedown on the sidewalk, a tremendous gash under his jaw. The pavement beneath him was swiftly turning a beautiful shade of red.
That was Haru just a second ago.
She looked at the sky. The cut in Kyo's neck looked like a gill to Rin.

eheheheh. There are two ways to interpret the ending of this story: Haru was a ghost and he tricked Rin into killing Kyo, or Haru never existed and Rin just imagined the whole thing. If you review this story, I will read a Furuba fanfic that you wrote. I reeally want people to read this, I worked hard on it, and I like it. Alexandra Kyoko 3 write more stuff.
