In the last chapter…
"I'm sorry…." I whispered for her to hear me, but she shook her head and disappeared. I closed my eyes, wanting to disappear with her. I didn't want to be here more, I wanted to go back to the place where the people I loved where waiting for me.
Chapter 9: The glass
Haruka opened her eyes slowly, letting her eyes to get used to the light. (A/N; I really don't know if there's light, it just looked better like this.) She could something over her body and saw that it was a thin blanket. She sat up and looked around. There was no one there, but the room looked like at the start. The walls were of the same color and the decoration was the same. She sighed of relieve and tried to stand up, but ended sitting again as she felt dizzy.
Haruka heard something from behind and looked back. Yakumo was there staring at her like she was a zombie or something that came back to life. She could see a strange emotion on the eyes that never showed something. She saw something like worry and relieve. Maybe she gave him a bigger scare than she though, even though she was also a bit scared of what she just saw.
Yakumo walked towards her and stopped in front of her. Haruka didn't say anything, neither did Yakumo, but the two of them had different reasons. Haruka was still scared of the 'dream' she just had and wasn't very sure about her voice. Would she start crying? Would she not be able to talk? She didn't dare to try and just stared at the eyes that stared back at her.
Yakumo's hand started to go towards her and she tensed, she started to remember how the boy killed the poor girl. She wanted to scream at him, tell him not to touch her, but she would be lying to herself. She knew that she wanted to be touched by him, being comforted by him. They still weren't talking and maybe her eyes told him that she was scared or something else, but he stopped and stared at her eyes softer than he had ever had.
"Don't move. It will be a moment." Yakumo told her.
Haruka didn't calm down and couldn't when he touched her neck. She though that he would start strangling her, but instated his hand went from the neck to the back of her head. His other hand joined the other and they started to touch lightly her head, as if he was searching for something. She still didn't know what did he meant when he said that it would be a moment, but it didn't matter to her right now. She was starting to relax as she moved to be closer to his chest; she was close to him that she could smell him. He smelled sweet and Haruka supposed that he ate something while she was unconscious.
Suddenly, he stopped touching her head and moved away, leaving Haruka in daze. He continued to stare at her eyes as she questioned him with her eyes. He lightly, but lightly, smiled, like he was relieve not to have found what he was searching for.
"What is the last thing you remember before fainting?" Yakumo asked her. She blinked a few times and answered him.
"I was… watching the view from the balcony… and felt something behind. I decided to enter and I felt like something hit me." Haruka answered, then she understood why did Yakumo touch her head, he was searching for a bump. Yakumo nodded and went to the kitchen.
Haruka stared at the place where Yakumo just was and started to remember how he touched her. It wasn't something she was expecting, but he was being more careful than she though he was. He was worried about her and that made her smile. He raised her hand to touch her head and smiled more.
"Oh my god! I was so worried! I thought that it was something very serious!" kyou's voice was heard all over the world and made Haruka to jump a bit of the surprise. Haruka looked at the kitchen door but Kyou wasn't there anymore, he sure was fast, he was already in front of her.
"I'm… I'm okay." Haruka whispered, she really wasn't used to see men kneeled in front of her, less a handsome one. Kyou sighed in complete relieve and Haruka blinked a few times.
"I thought that it was best to call an ambulance because you suddenly fainted, but Saito-san said that it was nothing." Kyou continued to talk while smiling. Haruka blinked another few times and looked at the kitchen door, this time to find Yakumo with something in his hands.
Yakumo made his way to Haruka and gave her the glass of water that he went for. She slightly smiled and Yakumo felt like he was more calmed. It was nothing compared to when he though that the ghost made something to her, but it was enough to know that she was alright. He didn't take off his eyes of her as she drank the water and neither did while sighing.
"Yakumo-kun, why didn't you call an ambulance? I could have some brain damage." Haruka asked while touching her head again. Yakumo smirked and Haruka somehow knew what was going to come.
"I caught you before you touched the floor. And even the doctors wouldn't be able to solve that brain damage of yours." He answered. Haruka pouted and was about to answer back when Yakumo's answer entered in her head. "Catch her". He said "catch her"… Haruka blushed and looked at Yakumo.
"You what?" Haruka asked, not very sure of what she heard. Well, she heard him, but she wanted to be sure.
"He caught you. Like in the fairy tales." Kyou said. Haruka was blushing more than before, a strange image of her in Yakumo's arms made it way to her head and it almost created a short circuit.
"Y-you mean… like when-" Haruka started to shutter, trying to make full sentences. Yakumo, who was still smirking, sat next to her and stared at her while continuing doing so.
"When you are raised in my arms?" Yakumo asked. Kyou, who was at the center of everything, was starting to think that they were something more than helper and boss. He smiled and sat in the sofa next to the one that was already occupied. He also started to think that if Haruka blushed more she would start feeling dizzy.
"Why did you help me?" Haruka asked, blushed and annoyed by the fact that Yakumo was teasing her non-stop.
"Because if I didn't I would be the responsible of your ultimatum brain damage. It would be really expensive." Yakumo answered smirking.
"Why you-" Haruka started but stopped herself. She needed to control herself; she wasn't in her own house but in another person one. Then, Haruka started to take big breaths to calm herself and Yakumo used that moment to approach her and whisper in her ear.
"What were you expecting, 'girlfriend'?" Yakumo whispered. Haruka didn't do anything; she just stopped thinking and even breathing.
When Yakumo came closer she felt her heart beating really fast and a sensation she already knew came to her. While she was in that strange dream she felt like something was around her, protecting her. Know she was starting to realize that that sensation was Yakumo's arms. Even after realizing this she didn't blush, instated the glass she was still holding escaped her grip. The glass made a breaking noise and Yakumo looked at the floor to see the glass broken into small pieces.
"You can't even hold a gla-" Yakumo started to scold Haruka still joking, but he stopped as soon as he saw a water drop in his hand. He looked up and saw Haruka crying with her hands trembling. His eyes grew bigger and for a second he stopped breathing. Was he the one that made her cry? He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if so.
"Hey." Yakumo said while trying to touch her shoulder. Haruka, who was remembering everything what happened in the dream, slapped the hand that was going to touch her. She was so scared that she didn't know who was the one being slapped. Her whole body was trembling and she was hugging herself, trying to stop the uncomfortable sensation that was starting to spread through her body.
She could hear people calling for her, worried to death, but she was too busy trying to control the sobs that were leaving her lips. Then she felt someone hugging her. She didn't want to be touched by anyone, less being hugged, so she started to fight against that person. She would have started screaming if it wasn't for the sobs that were still leaving her lips. She punched on the chest of the person that was hugging her and she smelled something sweet.
Haruka stopped moving and heard Yakumo's voice trying to comfort her. Her hands went to his shirt and hold onto him as she continued to cry her heart out. Yakumo was massaging Haruka's back as she continued crying. He still didn't know if she was crying because of his jokes, but even so she looked really pitiful, something she wasn't. He wanted to help her in anything he could and it seemed that he was getting it.
"H-he strangled her!" Haruka said through her tears. Yakumo stopped massaging her back as he noticed something really important for the case they were in.
