A/N: I am sorry for the delay but I've been terribly busy and all but I have returned.

Chapter 4: Back to the Present, Race to the Hospital

As Yuki, Kyo and Tohru sat in their first class, something just didn't seem right. Usually in the mornings they run into either Momiji or Haru but today was different. Yuki was going to apologize to Haru for the way he's been acting lately. During the week, Yuki had been through lots of stress, which made him snap intentionally more. He honestly didn't mean to do it.

The next time I see him. Yuki kept thinking to himself, I'll tell him and everything will be fine. After all Haru was always the one to be very understanding about these types of things.

The feeling that something was wrong only deepened as the day pushed forward. Then the news came, that would shake them all. It hit them like an earthquake that threatened to shatter them when a messenger from the Sohma household came to get them and Tohru.

At first they were all terribly confused until the messenger said the words that struck them like lightning, "Hatsuharu is in the hospital. He was admitted this morning. His resent condition is unknown but I am ordered to bring you to the hospital."

Those words felt like poison to their spirits as it drained from them. Haru. Why was he in the hospital, out of all people? Why would they be ordered to go to the hospital? What's going on? All these questions raced through their minds as they were rushed to hospital anticipating the news they will receive when they get there.

After that everything seem in slow motion because no one talked as the driver drove everyone to the hospital to where the others would be. They were informed that Rin, Momiji, Kagura, Kisa, and Hiro were already there along with the adults awaiting news.

At the hospital, Momiji stood there in silence. He couldn't believe that in was in the hospital. Shock was still running through him as he recalled seeing Haru's still body lying there on the floor as they were trying to find a pulse.

He stood there looking towards the room in which they were fighting to keep Haru alive recalling the ride to the hospital.

Flashback

Ha'ri had wrapped Haru's body gently in a coat that he was wearing and hurried towards his car where he placed Haru gently in the back. On the way to the car, he had yelled for someone to help him. Ritsu who was on his way to talk to Akito heard his cry and ran over.

For once he turned serious and had a very quick talk with Hatori. He nodded and went over to Rin, Kagura, and me and told us that he'd be taking us to the hospital. But ultimately I had insisted on going with Ha'ri because I wanted to help him with Haru.

Apparently, at least it looked like it; Ha'ri didn't want to argue because he let me ride with him. I was in charge of helping putting pressure on where all the blood was coming from which were his stomach, throat and wrists. I've never seen so much blood come out of a body at once in real life.

I wanted to cry. How could Haru think of doing like this? Why? I didn't cry though, it would just cause more pain for others. This was enough for everyone than to deal with me crying.

When Ha'ri was driving, I didn't say anything. I just did what Ha'ri told me to do. I don't know if he even said anything other than asking me if the blood loss had stop or whether or not I can still feel a pulse.

When the event that almost cause Ha'ri a heart attack occurred when we finally arrived at the Hospital. Haru stopped breathing and his pulse was even harder to find. Someone immediately attended to Haru; it was a miracle that he didn't transform. Ha'ri had insisted on being one of the doctors that handled his case.

I took a look at Haru's still body when they hurried him to the emergency room as Rin, Ritsu, and Kagura finally arrived. I just stood there dumbfounded, alone, scared and withdrawn.

Haru, you can't leave me.

End Flashback

Momiji stood there lost in thought when there was a slight tap on his shoulder. Startled, Momiji looked to find Shigure standing there.

Momiji tried to weakly smile but it couldn't surface even on his face at a time like this.

"When are the others coming Gure-san?" Momiji asked quietly. He had talked to Kisa and Hiro when they came but only briefly. Hiro was actually consoling Kisa who had burst out in tears after they talked about what happened.

"They're coming."
