The Sick Shadow King and the Caring Commoner
She was suddenly tackled by a small boy.
"Miss," the little boy cried, "miss, please help me." He burst into tears. Haruhi looked at him. He was so cute.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"I lost…" he sniffled, "I lost my cousin."
"What does he look like?"
"H…he's really big but he's nice." Haruhi grabbed the young boy's hand and began walking.
"What's your name?"
"Huninozuka Mitsukuni," he said with a giggle, "but please call me Hunny."
"What about your cousin, Hunny?"
"Morinozuka Takashi but everyone calls him Mori," he giggled again, "You're really nice, miss."
"If you like, my name is Fujoika Haruhi," she said with a smile.
"Haru," he chirped, "I'm hungry." Haruhi paused.
"I don't have any money with me," she said sadly.
"That's okay," he said with a small tear in his eyes. Haruhi smiled. She heard something behind her. She turned and saw Tamaki running towards her. She picked up the boy and ran. Hunny tried to struggle.
"Please don't," she said hurriedly, "there's a bad man after me and I know if I leave you alone you'll get into trouble. Please bear with me. Maybe if we find your cousin he can protect you but there's no way I'm putting you in danger." Hunny stilled in her arms.
"Haruhi," Tamaki called, "come here, dear!" He could feel an irritated tick forming in himself. He was becoming angry. He could feel a psychotic episode coming on but he didn't care. He had warned her. He had given her his best. He had even given her new clothes and this was how she was repaying him. He felt an extra burst of speed push him on.
"I'm coming to get you!" he laughed. Haruhi's chest and stomach were screaming for her to stop and rest but she didn't dare. She felt a big hand grip her shoulder and fling her around. She screamed as the first blow caught her. She threw Hunny away from her.
"Run," she screamed, "run." Hunny paused for a moment before rushing off into the streets. The people in the streets seemed not to notice that she was being hit. She dropped to the ground. His foot connected with her back. She refused to scream. She wouldn't beg. She couldn't stop herself from flinching though.
She felt the scream clawing itself up her throat. It stung as it climbed. She felt it prying her mouth open. She grit her teeth in refusal. His foot pulled back for another kick. He was grabbed and thrown three feet. Haruhi looked up and saw someone very tall. Next to him was Hunny. Her last thought before she passed out was, I guess that's Mori.
