Hello heres chapter 8 hope you enjoy! Please review!

Harima and Sarah sat in Harima's room staring at his cell phone. No words were said, they didn't want to jinx it. It was 7pm Saturday night the reviews for his manga were in. Now all was left is to hear back from Dankosha.

The ring of the phone scared the living crap out of them. Harima grab it and almost drop it "Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Kenji Harima speaking?" the voice said.

"Yeah this is him…who's this?" Harima asks feeling stupid after words.

"I have the reviews in…the public liked it very much…so we would love to give you a spot in Zinegama! Just be at my office tomorrow at 8am, see you then." Then Harima hung up.

"Yes! I'm in!" Harima yelled in happiness. This is the happiest he's ever been recently.

"Congrats Harima!" Sarah smiled.

"Well at least now there's something to live for haha…don't know why that's funny but whatever I'm happy!" Harima thought. "I need to start on chapter two Now! By the way…You're the only person that knows about me using real people from our lives…so don't tell anyone…even Yakumo." Harima says.

"uhhh ok…By the way this character…" Sarah point to Eri character "Is this character base on Eri Sawichka?" she asks.

"Who's that?" Harima asks.

Sarah shakes it off "Never mind must be a fluke…" she smiles.

"Well…she is base off someone…there was this girl who patched me up before you showed up. She told me to clean myself up…She was kind of cute to, but I think that was the beer talking." Harima says thinking back. The memory of that day was all mashed together…all Harima knew was that she was blond and her name started with a E.

Harima went to work right away with a little help from Sarah, she gave ideas and thoughts from a girls point of view. "Ok I think we should leave a little room just in case they give me more pages or less." Harima said. He had drawn ten pages and the clock said it was five till 12am.

"Wow I didn't realize how late it was…I got to go Harima. Good luck on your interview tomorrow and see you Monday!" Sarah says standing up to leave.

"Wait! I'll walk you home…A lot of weird people come out at this time…" Harima said standing up. Sarah stopped "You mean besides yourself? Haha!" she laughed.

The walk to Sarah house was pretty long. They walked a good two miles before reaching her house. Harima didn't take his motorcycle because he needs the gas for tomorrow. By the time they got there in was 1am and they were both tried.

"Thanks for walking me Harima…I'll see you Monday." Sarah smiles before going into her house.

"Crap…By the time I get back its going to be 2am that only leaves me with six hours of sleep." Harima said walking back.

Sara went into her room her mind was acting weird. For a moment she felt something for Harima. Recently she had cared so much about Harima. Now was that feeling turning into something more? Her feelings were crashing around in her head.

"Ugh…what am I thinking? Were just friends! Sure we've been through a lot lately…I mean…Tenma is out of the picture now… so really…there's nothing wrong with it…ugh maybe I'm just too tried to know what I'm feeling! I'm going to bed!" Sarah thinks laying in her bed.

The next day

"So they want me to draw 30 pages this time, a continuation of the last story." Harima says talking to Sarah on the cell phone.

"Do you need any help?" Sarah asked.

Harima thought about it for a moment "I think I'll be good this time…but I do need you to read it if you can." He asked.

"Yeah I would love to…just give me a call."

"Alright see you Monday." With that Harima ends the call.

Sarah closes her cell, she was blushing. She was the only one who really knew Harima. He's a good guy trying to better his life. Sarah couldn't help but admire him. Now it's got to a point where she's questioning her feeling for him. "But there nothing wrong with the way I'm feeling right? I mean…it's too early for him to be thinking of another person…just give it some time Sarah…" she said to herself.

One week later

Sarah was reading the finished version of Harima's story. They melt at the café after school so Sarah could read his manga. Plus they were both hungry. The same characters: Sarah as a character named: Azuma. Eri as: Eri(which was odd), Tenma as: Natsuma, Harima as: Katsu, and Yakumo as: Miki.

The plot followed Katsu and his journey to tell Natsuma he loves her. But after finding out she was married he loses his way and began to drink. After losing in a sword fight and bad wounded Eri comes and helps him back to health. After making sure he was ok eri leaves him, but knows that it wouldn't be the last time they meet. Then Azuma his best friend finds him…and you know the rest.

That was a recap of what happened, which took two pages.

This story had to do with the Katsu finding meaning in life again. He sets off on a far journey to the west along with Azuma and Miki. Little do they know that Eri followed them hiding in the shadows but watching over them. Late one night Eri comes to Katsu and tells him that Natsuma is in trouble. Katsu says that he's done with her…but his mind is changed after thinking about what she meant to him once. Eri points him in the direction of the place where they took her. Eri leaves them and they go to the direction of the place and then it ends as they are about to sneak in the fortress.

Sarah thought it was a good story. It kept her reading every word. But it was kind of funny that she was in the story along with Harima and Yakumo. Harima did a good job on getting how they looked right. Sarah gave it back to Harima "You should publish it! That was a good chapter Harima!" Sarah said.

"Thanks…well I need to go so see ya tomorrow!" Harima said taking the manga and standing up from the table.

"Wait!" Sarah calls.

Harima stops "What's up?"

Sarah was a very bright red. She didn't want him to go yet but she also wanted to ask him something "How…are you doing since…well you know." She asked.

Harima sighs "I'm...Doing better…but still…I'll see you later Sarah. I'm glad your my friend." He said with a smile. With that Harima leaves the café.

Sarah felt a warm feeling inside of her chest. The fact that she meant a lot to him made her feel lightheaded. At that moment she knew that she was in love with Kenji Harima.

Two weeks later

Eri was walking down the street to school when something caught her eye. It was a Zinegama manga book, but on the cover were her and three other characters. She walked to the stand and picked up the book "I wonder…" she pay for it and left.

Late that day Eri cracked open the book and read the manga. It was a very interesting story, Eri was never into manga but the fact she was in one was a fun thought.

She looked at the author in hope to find a name but only found his pin name: Hario. "Damn it! I know him…I've seen him somewhere…ugh I haft to find out who he is!" eri says closing the book.

Monday

Yakumo and Sarah were sitting at lunch. Harima was in the library trying to get ideas for the next chapter. Sarah wanted to get something off her mind. Letting her feelings fester for coming up four weeks was killing her.

"Yakumo can I tell you something…But can you promise not to freak out." Sarah asks turning red.

"Yeah of course anything Sarah." Yakumo says

"Ummm…I think…I…kind in….love with Harima…" Sarah said very red. There was an awkward silence that followed. Yakumo was a bit shocked and…well she didn't know about the other feeling.

"Ummm…uhhhh…really?" Yakumo asked not believing her for some reason.

"ummm yeah really…" Sarah said. They both were red at this point.

"Well…how did that happen?" Yakumo asked.

"Well…I've been spending a lot of time with him…one day he walked me home late at night…and it just happened." Sara said.

Yakumo really didn't know how to react to have been spending a lot of time together? This is crazy.

Yakumo felt as her best friend she should support her in any way. But she had to see what Sarah saw in Harima that she didn't. Because right now it sounded very crazy and out of nowhere. But then would Harima feel when he found out?

END OF PART 8
