I ran from the house knowing if I even stopped once they would catch up to me. My feet pounded the ground and I could hear Hunny scream out the window of my room. "TAKASHI!" I almost stopped, thinking how stupid I was for not telling them, but I knew they wouldn't understand and then it would get worse.

It was probally a good half hour of running before I paused for air. That was a mistake. "So Takashi is running from home?" One ghost asked while the others stole my energy making my knees give out. "He's not getting very far. The school's right around the corner for pete's sake!" "You think you're going to escape us? REALLY? You must be stupid! Running away from there isn't running from us!" "I don't think he was running from us but from the truth. Isn't that right, Takashi?"

They continued to taunt me and I couldn't help but wonder where Yamika was. The ghost surrounded me and began tearing at my close and hair. "PUSSY!" One yelled. "Give him what he deserves!" Shouted another. I could feel their claws dig into my skin and I yelped in pain. "G-Go away!" I protested, but they just got louder.

I tried to stand, and fell on my face, giving them access to tackle me. "We told you! You can't run!" They laughed. I sobbed into the ground, "Help me! Someone please!" The air started to feel lighter around me and I finally heard Yamika. "Leave him alone, you bastards!" They all just laughed until she began throwing them every which way. "Takashi! TAKASHI! Are you okay?" Someone shook me, but I couldn't respond. I was to drained and sore to do so.

"Someone call a doctor!" The voice yelled and I realized it wasn't Yamika but Hunny. He had followed me. "N-No. It won't help." I mumbled and he looked at me with stern eyes. "Why did you run?" He growled. I shook my head, slowly, painfully. "Y-you won't believe me." I whispered, hoping he wouldn't ask again. Hikaru and Kaoru walked over behind Haruhi and they stared at me with worried eyes. "Mori..." Haruhi whispered. Then I heard Tamaki. "TAKASHI MORIOZUKA, HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY!" I frowned sadly. Kyouya smacked Tamaki in the head shutting him up. "Takashi, please explain why you ran."

Yamika apeared beside the twins and nodded. "Tell them." She smiled. "Their your friends." I took a deep breath and nodded. She disappeared as I began to talk. "I-I can see things." They looked at me weird. "Ghosts." I specified, and the twins laughed. "You've got to be kidding me!" Kaoru chuckled. Yamika reappeared and pushed them both with enough energy to make them stumble. She glared at them and spoke. "Tell them you've spoken with Yamika Yotori. They might remember me!"

"What the hell, Tamaki!" The twins glared at their "boss". "Why did you push us?" I chuckled and they turned to me. "Yamika Yotori pushed you not Tamaki." The color drained from their faces. "Y-Yamika?" They looked at each other in alarm. "S-She was one of our regulars...she committed suicide after we rejected her..."

Yamika appeared behind them and smacked their heads. "I was already depressed and you two sent me over the edge!" "I'm sorry, Yamika. They didn't mean to." The boys looked at each other worried. She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Tell Hunny about his part in your gift."

I turned to my cousin, who had a blank expression, and began to speak. "Hunny. You protect me from them. They don't come near me when I'm near you. Thank you for that." Hunny's eyes grew wide and he looked at me stunned. "Y-You're welcome. Now promise me you'll never run again." I nodded in agreement.
