Enhanced Meeting
Eve walk into the forest, but somehow, it seems darker and deeper. She try to find Verloren everywhere, but she can't.
"Verloren! Verloren! Where are you?" suddenly, Verloren appears out of nowhere, eyes fixed to Eve "what are you doing here?"
"I came here to visit you~ you seems so lonely"
"I don't need any accompanies, I can do my job alone"
"Don't be so cold! Every beings in this planet cannot live alone, cause that's how live works" Eve smile and Verloren was filled with evil aura that he always try to hide around Eve. "Beautiful soul…delicious soul" Verloren murmurs.
"Huh? Do you say something earlier?"
"Nothing…just get out of here!" Verloren raise his voice
"Ver…Verloren what's wrong?" Eve begin to shiver, feeling scared.
"Please…just get out" Verloren wrap his arm around Eve, hugging her tightly, "Verloren?"
"I don't want anything happen to you…please get out, I can't hold him any longer" Verloren release his hug, looking into Eve's eyes with concern look. "Hurry! What are you waiting for? Hurry! I don't want to hurt you" Verloren back away wrapping his hand around his body, as if trying to hold himself to get closer to Eve. Suddenly, Eve hug Verloren tightly, not wanting to let him go.
"No matter what you do to me, I can't change my feeling towards you…I love you, Verloren" Eve look up and tears begin to fall out of her eyes. Verloren look away and push Eve. "Get out of here!" Verloren stop struggling and look at Eve with eyes showing evil intentions, smirk carved in his face, gripping his scythe tightly, it's like he's not Verloren at all.
"Verloren?" Eve back away with scared eyes.
"What's wrong Eve? Do you love me? Then why don't you come closer?"
"No! You're not him! Who are you?! What have you done to Verloren?"
"I AM Verloren! The Verloren you love so much" He start to get closer to Eve, but Eve slowly back away.
"You're not him!" Eve realized that Verloren's scythe has merged with his arms and notice that the scythe is alive, now…it's controlling Verloren's body, this is what he's trying to say.
"Why? Are you scared? You say you love me no matter what horrible things I will do to you right?"
"I say it to VERLOREN, not you"
"Well then, it seems you have been a naughty girl…I shall put you into an eternal sleep" He then run to Eve, piercing her chest with the edge of his scythe, "Sayonara, ohime-sama" he smirk… then everything went black.
Haruka quickly open her eyes, doesn't want to continue her dream or to be precise, her memories. She pushes the blanket down to her hips and sit "so that's what really happen" Haruka quickly lay down and close her eyes when she feels that someone is coming to her room.
The door open slowly and a man enters the room, closing the door again and sit besides Haruka's bed. He gently touch Haruka's injured arm, and Haruka know who the person is from his cold touch. Ayanami whisper slowly to Haruka's ears, "I'm sorry for letting you get injured again" he run Haruka's hair between his fingers and get out from the room. Haruka quickly get up and blushing red, as red as a tomato.
"What's with that? It's not like him to be that soft" Haruka touch her injured arm and gets really surprise, "the pain…it's gone! And the injuries has heal" Haruka get off from the bed and change from her hospital gown to her military uniform. She run outside and realized that she's lost, "Damn it! I'm lost again!" Haruka keep on walking until she noticed she's arrive in the middle of Houburg fort, which is the Barsburg palace. Haruka's face turns pale, because she know that a soldier can't just come in to the palace. Haruka start to feel hopeless when she sees Hakuren, walking with a pink haired girl.
"Hakuren-kun! I'm so glad to see you" Haruka run to Hakuren.
"Haruka-chan! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the Houburg fort right?"
"I'm lost!"
"I don't know there's a girl in the military, well…nice to meet you, I'm Ouka!" The girl say, shaking Haruka's hand with a sweet smile.
"Ouka…Ah! Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg-sama, it's an honor to meet you" Haruka bows.
"Eh…don't be so formal! Just call me Ouka" Ouka smile widely.
"Sure! Ouka-sama" Haruka smile back.
"Well, I guess that's okay too"
"Um…you girls aren't forgetting about me right? Haruka, you better go back or Ayanami will murder you!"
"Ayanami? You're in the black hawk?" Ouka ask, looking suspiciously towards Haruka.
"Yes…but don't worry! I'm not a warsfeil" Haruka say quickly, remembering what Castor told her.
"Ouka-sama, we should leave now" Hakuren's face turn cold.
"Eh? Why? I still want to talk to her"
"You're still mad aren't you? Hakuren-kun, I'm sorry I yell at you before…I was having such a bad day"
"If you're sorry, tell me what happen"
"It's hard to explain…Labrador said I'm not important to him…and the Black Hawk has been so nice to me… I feel like I belong there" Haruka's face softens.
"Haruka-chan…"
"Well! I'm going now~ Bye!" Haruka run, doesn't which direction she's heading to.
"Hakuren, does she know Teito?" Ouka ask
"Yes…she's a close friend of him"
"Oh is that so? But I find them quite alike"
"Now that you mention it, I realized that too, it looks like as if they were…siblings"
"Well! I should ask her in another time! Let's head back" Ouka and Hakuren goes back in to the castle while Haruka still doesn't know where she's going.
"Dang it! I'm lost! I should've ask Hakuren-kun or Ouka-sama for direction, now I don't have someone to ask" Haruka slow down when she sees a man with bandages covering his eyes, leaning in the wall as if hearing something.
"Um….sir, I would like to ask you something" Haruka approach the man.
"Hmm? What do you want to ask?"
"I'm lost and I want to go to the Black Hawk office" the man 'observe' Haruka and realized something.
"Why are you trying to go there?"
"My unit is Black Hawk and I was in the hospital…I have a weakness to often get lost"
"Your superior is Ayanami?"
"Yes sir"
"Well, if you go straight, turn right and just go straight you will find a door with gold carving, that's the largest door in the hall…that is the Black Hawk office"
"Thank you so much!" Haruka runs and the man look at her until she's gone from sight "could she be her?" the man thought and walks away.
"Minna! I'm back!" Haruka barge in, but she only found Katsuragi eating mochi while doing some paper works.
"Oh Haruka-chan? You're searching for Ayanami-sama and the others?" hearing this, Haruka can't help but blush.
"Yes… Do you know where they might go?"
"Oh… um… they were going outside for a while, why don't you go with them? Right now they're at the old and abandon factory"
"Thank you! I'll be going now" Haruka walk away from the room when she realized the door in front of their office is open. Fills with curiosity, she goes inside and find Haruse sitting in a chair, unconscious. She sees something floating besides him and try to hold it. But, when she touch it, glowing strings start to go out and Haruka connect it to Haruse's chest. She do it over and over again until the strings are all gone. Haruse's eyes quickly open.
"Haruka-san?"
"Ah! You're awake! What happen?"
"I don't really know…it seems like…" Haruse quickly cover his mouth, knowing that Haruka shouldn't know what happen.
"Huh?"
"Nothing…well, what are you doing here?"
"hehe, I'm just suspicious… well~ I'll be going now!" Haruka runs away to the gate and get on to a hawkzile, riding it to the old factory.
Haruka arrive at the old factory and sees gigantic plants and smoke screen covering it. Haruka quickly slice the plants with the swords she summoned. When she finally enter the factory, she sees Frau fighting with Hyuuga, and Castor…approaching the unarmed Konatsu with sword in his hand.
"Konatsu-kun!" Haruka go there immediately, but she's too late, Castor's sword has pierce through Konatsu's chest…Haruka can't move, she can't talk, she can only watch. Suddenly, light burst through Haruka's body, her eyes change…becoming glowing red. Seeing this, Castor, Frau and Hyuuga stop their fighting and look at Haruka.
"Th…This is" Castor say…shocked.
"Ya, the brat's precious stone"
"You must not look away from your enemy!" Hyuuga say, approaching Frau in high speed.
Haruka catch Konatsu in her arms, placing her hand in Konatsu's chest, healing the outside wound and stop the bleeding, giving him a first aid. Seeing this opportunity, Castor prepare to attack Haruka when suddenly Labrador stop him.
"Labrador…you…"
"Stop Castor! She's my sister…my precious little sister, I don't want her to get hurt" Haruka look at Labrador…eyes slowly change back to blue.
"Ilyusha nii-chan…"
"Move out from the way Labrador…we can't let a traitor live" Castor's eyes were icy cold, not like his usual self. Castor move pass Labrador, trying to pierce Haruka with his sword when Katsuragi suddenly show up, shielding both Konatsu and Haruka while his hand get pierce with Castor's sword instead. Hyuuga quickly go to Katsuragi, Frau sees the opportunity and join Teito in the underground factory.
"My my…I thought you were a bishop, there's no way a bishop will say such things"
"Who are you? I can't sense your presence at all"
Katsuragi just smile, grabbing Konatsu and Haruka. They flew away from there, followed by Hyuuga.
"Is it okay letting her go just like that?" Castor ask, fixing his glasses and sheathed back his sword.
"It's her own choice…I don't mind and I won't interfere"
When they arrive at the Houburg fort, Konatsu quickly put in the hospital.
"Konatsu-kun…I'm sorry I was too late" Haruka cry, following the doctors that push Konatsu's bed.
"Miss…I'm sorry but can you please wait here, visitors aren't allowed get in to the operation room"
Haruka wipe her tears and sit in one of the chair. She start to cry again when someone pat her head.
"Don't cry…it's not your fault"
"A…Ayanami-san, will Konatsu-kun be alright?"
"He's a member of the Black Hawk…he'll be fine, you need to put faith in him"
"Right! Thank you for reminding me" Haruka stop crying and smile sweetly towards Ayanami. Ayanami just look at her and leave. Haruka watch him leave and wait for Konatsu's operation.
The red light at the top of the operation room finally turn off and Konatsu is led outside the operation room. Haruka follow the doctors to Konatsu's hospital room.
"Doctor, when will he awake?"
"Around 2 or 3 hour, make sure he doesn't move afterward, his inner organs are so damage"
"Okay"
Haruka wait for Konatsu to be conscious, but she's so tired she fall asleep in the edge of Konatsu's bed. After 3 hour, Konatsu slowly wake up and realize that Haruka is beside him.
"Haruka-chan…you waited for me don't you?"
"Konatsu-kun! You're awake, I'm so glad…are you okay?"
"I'm okay, thanks to you who has been waiting for me" Konatsu smile.
"I'm just worried! I'm sorry I arrive late, it should be me who has been injured…not you"
"It's not your fault, it's because I'm too weak"
"Well, I'll be going now! I will call Hyuuga-san to accompany you"
Haruka stand up but Konatsu grab her arms, not wanting to let her go even for a second.
"I don't want major Hyuuga to company me…I wan't you"
"What are you saying Konatsu-kun? Hyuuga-san is really worried about you too"
"Then before you leave…I want to say something" Konatsu stand up and lean forward to Haruka, pinning her to the wall.
"Hey! Wh…what are you doing?" Haruka blushes, seeing Konatsu topless, his chest only cover in bandages.
"I like you Haruka-chan"
"Li…Like? You mean as friends right?"
"No…I love you Haruka, not as a friend…but as a lover" Haruka look into Konatsu's goldish eyes that shines in the moonlight, seeing his seriousness that she never saw before.
"I… I have to go" Haruka blush, releases Konatsu's grip.
"Haruka-chan…wait! Ugh" Konatsu try to catch up with Haruka but then he felt a huge pain in his chest and lose his grip to the wall, but Haruka able to catch him in time.
"Konatsu-kun! Don't push yourself, the doctors said you have to rest!" Haruka put Konatsu back into his bed, wanting to leave but Konatsu keep on holding Haruka's hand.
"I wait for your response…in 48 hours" Konatsu releases his grip and fall asleep.
