"Shizuka." Doumeki turned to his grandfather, blinking around at his surroundings. Haruka smiled, his usually happy grin dulled and sad. Beside him, stretched out on the ground alongside a blooming Sakura tree, lay Watanuki. He was wearing a simple black yukata that parted at his knees, exposing pale legs that splayed out in different directions. Haruka's hand rested on the boys head, his other occupied by his pipe.
"Grandfather," he answered curtly, finding himself standing in front of the pair in three long strides. He distantly noted that he, too, was wearing a yukata, his a pale blue with zigzagging patterns crossing around. His eyes moved back to Watanuki, a frown marring his face. Haruka sadly followed his gaze, petting the black hair a little more firmly.
"What happened to him?" Shizuka demanded quietly, staring intently at Haruka. Haruka took a long draw from his pipe and closed his eyes in contemplation.
"I'm sorry to be the bearer of such distressing tidings, but Kimihiro may not have the chance to leave this place." Haruka puffed again, watching his grandson slowly tense with grave eyes. "Unless you hurry Shizuka, Kimihiro will be stolen from you for good."

What can I say? I hummed and hawed over this for a bit, changed it, and it came out looking like this. It's topped with Haruka-y goodness too!! :D
