Me: Surprise I'm not dead! Okay… I know you all may be very mad at me but I promise that I'm trying my best. There's been a lot of complications that haven't been solved quite yet, but I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things. Thank you for all your support and feedback. Thank you for the reviews and the Private messages that pushed me to write again.

Little side note: I can't fully remember where I was going with this, and I felt it would better to continue on with a fresh perspective than to read the old draft. So, if you have read my old version, I will not be using that as a guide. Some ideas may be the same but it will not be truly following it.

Here's to a more productive year!

Mother in Heaven, I don't know what to do. It's times like these where I wished that I still had your guidance. Everyone is expecting something from me. The boys want a mate. The Duke wants me to polish his name. The Witch and Umehito want me to fulfill a prophecy. It's hard to think straight.

I have Renge, though. She's the only one who hasn't asked anything from me.

It's been two days since the Duke has left and only one where we have heard from him. Mori really did some damage to his vocal chords. The doctor the Otori's hired to take care of him and prescribed some medicine and lots of sleep. He wrote a letter to us, that spoke his apology and asked me to help his name go up through the social hierarchy.

I should have said no. Right, Mother? But I can't. He may have not been kind, but he wasn't that cruel neither. Besides, if I helped him then I would be helping Renge too. It's the least I can do for her.

At the moment, she and I are in the beautiful room that the Lords have given us. I am sitting at a vanity, just staring into a mirror. Renge is behind me, humming and brushing my hair. It reminds me of when you did the same. Do you remember the song you hummed? I do. 'This Little Light of Mine'. That's the one she's humming now. She heard me hum it when I first started to serve her. She fell in love with it. She even said the same thing you did…

"I Love it because it reminds me of you. You're the sun in my dark skies."

I cried that day, Mom. I know you told me to be a brave girl. But… I just miss you so much.

I should be going, Mom. Renge and I have been called upon to join the families for a large dinner. I will talk to you after to tell you how it went.

"Haruhi?" Renge spoke, snapping me from my thoughts. I gazed at her through the reflection. Her eyes followed the movement of her hands as the combed through my hair. I stayed silent waiting for her to continue. "You know, the day Daddy brought you home… I had given up. For me, life was all about the dark and the night, but you showed me there is light. Whether it be as gentle as the moon or as bold as the sun. I just want you to know, no matter what, I'm glad I had you in my life. Even if it was for such a small time."

"Stop talking like this is the end." I said. I couldn't deny the stinging behind my eyes. I had lost so many people. Renge was all I had in this world. Losing her… well, I won't even think about that. "You're my family, remember. That's what you said. You did mean that right?"

Renge didn't hesitate her feverish nod.

"Of course, I did! I love you with all my heart. I didn't think that my species was capable of such emotions, but you proved that to me too. But I won't be selfish. You're deserve much more than me or my father."

"Love isn't selfish, Renge." I said turning around and holding her hands. "It's giving. You have given me so much, and I have given you all that I can, even if it is only my devotion. So, let me be clear on this. No matter what… I don't care if it's against the Royals' wishes or not… You and I will stay together."

"Oh Haruhi!" She cried grasping on to me. I let her weep as I soothed her with gentle words and rubs. This is usually how it goes. Renge is upset and I comfort her. That is one thing I don't ever want to change.

It's funny sometimes… She always speaks that the Dark claimed its victims and made them it's people. That those who were too pure remained Human… But she forgets that some were born without any say or knowledge. The Darkness has always been around, whether in the world or in the hearts. No one can stop it. Not even the pure.

A heavy knock made us jump from our positions. Renge quickly stood and wiped her eyes. I stood just as the door opened to reveal the Witch, whose name was Dontella. She looked into the room and spotted me instantly.

"Ahh, My precious. I am very sorry for the interruption, but I wish to gain some of your time." I looked to Renge who simply nodded. I quietly followed Dontella into the hall. There wasn't time to spare as she led me down to a dusty room rather quickly.

The room was filled with many glass containers with different colored liquid in each of them. There were shelves of them everywhere I turned. My guess, this was her potion closet. The only thing that was different was the small table with a huge book laying on top of it.

Dontella twirled around, giggling. Witches have proved to be very free-spirited. It was refreshing sometimes when it came to contrast with mostly glum vampires and begrudging werewolves.

"Here it is! Come! I want to tell you something before you go to eat with the Royals." I said nothing as I came to her. I looked down at the book and curiously skimmed across the page.

A woman who stood in front of the moon had her back to a man who stood in front of the sun.

"Her name Luna and his was Solas. They were said to be the lovers of the sky." She spoke. I kept my eyes focused on the page. It was an interesting old picture. The woman had light hair, in fact it looked silver. Tears streamed down her face from light blue eyes. Her face was pale, the only color was her rosy cheeks. The man was the complete opposite. He had black hair and dark eyes. Maybe, brown or black. His face was full of color, but was pinched with pain. "They were doomed from the start."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She was of the night and he was of the day." She answered, her voice soft.

"A vampire and a Human?" I asked.

"Not quite. You see, Vampire and such did not exist back then. But even if it had, that would have been the least of the worries."

"So, in a literal sense? She was the moon and he was the sun?" She shook her head, a small smile adorning her features.

"Not quite that either. Much more complex. However, that will be revealed on a much later date. What they are has no concern with what I'm about to tell you. It's more about the moral. You see, obviously, its states that opposites can attract no matter how polar. But something much deeper lies within."

"What's that?" I asked, looking straight into her eyes.

"Love is never easy, though I'm sure you are aware of that. But It is all worth it. The message of this tale is that no matter what… You must never give up. You must never lose yourself. If you do, love will never find you and you'll be stuck like them."

I looked back to the page. I gazed more at the woman. The tears on her face… her hands clasped together against her chest.

Heartbreak…

"I know you are not rather fond of the idea of being the mate of six vampires, but I ask you one last little favor. You know, besides fulfilling the prophecy." I didn't look up. "I ask you don't give up. No matter what."

I wasn't sure why the sudden rush to speak to me about this. I wasn't sure why my attention was so drawn to this picture, or why my heart ached as if I was the woman. I wasn't sure if I was still the one they were all looking for. The girl who was to be mated to multiple men and the girl who was supposed to be in the prophecy… I wasn't even sure what the prophecy was at this moment…

But, Mother, I am sure that I will make you proud. I will stand my ground and be that brave girl you taught me to be.

That's a promise.

Me: Woo! Yay! That's a wrap. Next chapter will have the boys and some fluff. I will remind you all that I am indeed a hardcore Twins X Haruhi shipper (but if I had to choose one it would be Hikaru.) So, My writing for the other pairings will come out rough. I will start on the next chapter as soon as possible and try to have it up this Saturday if I have free time.

P.S: I will try to have a longer chapter next time!

Thank you all! You have been such a pleasure!
