Disclaimer: I am sorry for the delay. I had a lot of things to do lately and now I have returned. See Chapter 1

(Day 5-2)

The word chaos could be used to describe most of the week for Haru. For things were still organized but yet in a chaotic fashion. I mean, he went to school, came back home, got slapped around, and remained silent. Nothing seemed to go right and the only thing that consistently happened, to Haru at least, was the fact that more problems seemed to arise the more and more the week went on.

He tried talking once again to Yuki about things that have been going on. But as usual,Yuki seemed busy with just about everything else. Momiji had some stuff he had to do after school along with going to work with his father some days. Even Hatori, who normally managed to spend some time with him, seemed busier than usual.

The feeling of loneliness stayed ever so prevalently in Haru's mind. It's like I'm not even here. Like they look directly past me or disregard me as a whole. He resided mainly in his room, alone with his thoughts. Would it just be better if I just disappeared?

He'd been thinking about that question for sometime now and normally it disregarded it because normally he had Momiji to lighten him up. But he didn't have it, so it seemed for a while. Everything that I'm involved in doesn't seem to go right. I seem to make a mess out of everything.

At that moment of time he looked around his room and sighed in deeply. Do I even have meaning?

(BACK AT THE HOSPITAL)

Shigure looked at Hatori for a moment after he heard the news. Everything seemed to pause right after they heard the news. But there was something in Hatori's eyes that told Shigure that there was something else he wasn't saying. What could it be?

He lightly took Hatori aside after a moment or two. He was trying to compose himself a little bit before he attempted to have a serious conversation with him. This took him a lot more effort than usual especially considering the circumstances.

Truth of the matter was before he just used Haru in order to make himself feel more powerful. But now, he felt deep sorrow for him, which meant that he didn't think of Haru as a tool as much as he did before. It changed.

"Hatori, what are you not saying?" Shigure asked him a somewhat hushed way as he was trying not to let anyone else hear the conversation.

Hatori looked at Shigure in the eyes. He figured it out.

"Hatori, please," Shigure pleaded with him.

Hatori closed his eyes for a moment in thought. The only real way he could tell Shigure or any of the others is by showing him. That was hard enough for Hatori himself to do.

FLASHBACK

Hatori rushed into Haru room and join the crowd of doctors and nurses, all of whom were attempting to revive him. He had already lost lots of blood but they knew that he had to be somewhat stable before they could even consider giving him a blood transfusion. Hatori composed himself enough and helped the process.

He watched Haru's lifeless body and everyone trying to bring back a heartbeat, no mater how weak or light. At this moment of time they were trying just about everything. Hatori got his first real look at the marks on Haru's body.

They luckily had stopped the bleeding in Haru's stomach. But right now that was the least of their worries. He looked so pale. There were marks on his arms but they seemed to be in the healing process.

What did you do to yourself Haru? This was the main question running through Hatori's mind.

After a while, they successfully stabilized his condition. Hatori seemed relieved for a moment before one of the doctors looked at him gravely and then took him aside to talk.

"There's not much we can do?" the doctor said to him.

Hatori looked at him. "What do you mean? He's stabilized right now."

"But for how long?" the doctor replied. When the doctor's notice a look of deep sorrow and shock flow across Hatori's eyes. "Look, his condition is critical. Anything could happen now. He's going to want to come back? There is only so much we can do now."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Hatori?" Shigure asked him, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Hatori looked at him. There was only so much he could tell him.

"Shigure, he's in critical condition," Hatori finally responded.

Shigure looked at him. He knew that wasn't all but he wasn't going to push the matter further.

Hatori for a moment looked over at the door which Haru's body occupied. He's going to have to want to come back…but what if he doesn't?
