Disclaimer: Holy guacamole, it's been ages since my last update. Let's see, what's happened in my life since then? Well I'm in culinary school, and will be done with that in March. I finally got around to talking to a gender therapist (I'm a trans boy, in case you didn't know), and will be starting to take testosterone soon. I'm really excited about it, and I can't wait. Oh, and I was in a relationship with someone for 7 months. But then shit happened that I don't want to talk about, I've fallen back into my destructive pattern of self harm, and the only way I sleep now is if I strangle/suffocate myself until I pass out. Anyway, on with the story.

Chapter 35:

Genjiro stood on his front porch smoking a cigarette, and wondering if Haruka would really go through with killing herself.

"Damn, if she actually goes through with it I'm gonna have one hell of a mess to clean up."

Genjiro thought, taking a puff from his cigarette. As he stood there pondering what Haruka would do, he noticed a car pull up in front of his house.

"What are they doing here?"

Genjiro wondered, watching as Kyle and Yuiko jumped out of the car.

"Alright you sack of shit, where is she?"

Kyle asked, anger clear in his voice.

"I haven't a clue as to whom you're referring to."

"Don't give me that. You know exactly who I'm talking about, now where is she?"

"Where is who?"

Kyle was about ready to lunge at Genjiro, but Yuiko held him back.

"Kyle, chill. Beating the shit out of him won't tell us where Haruka is."

"It might. Besides, you're the one that wanted to snap his neck after you found out he took Haruka."

"Uhh, excuse me. I did not take Haruka. She willingly came with me."

"That's a lie and you know it. She would never go anywhere with you."

Kyle said.

"Believe what you want, but it's the truth."

Genjiro said, causing Kyle's anger towards him to rise.

"Alright look, we aren't getting anywhere with this. Can you please just tell us where Haruka is?"

Yuiko asked.

"I like her, she's polite. Unlike some people."

Genjiro said, causing Kyle to roll his eyes.

"She's upstairs, first door on the left."

Yuiko then thanked Genjiro and headed to where Haruka was, leaving Kyle to keep an eye on him.

When she made it to the room Haruka was in, Yuiko found the racer sitting there with the gun still in her hand. She then approached her slowly and with caution, so as not to startle her.

"I'm glad you're still alive. Everyone's been super worried about you. Are you okay?"

Yuiko asked, her voice calm as she kneeled in front of Haruka and placed her hand atop the gun."

Haruka slowly nodded her head, but didn't move her gaze from the gun in her hands.

"Kyle and I are going to take you back to the treatment facility. Your family is going to meet us there."

This time, Haruka gave no response and just continued to stare at the gun.

"Here, let's put this away."

Yuiko said, slowly removing the gun from Haruka's hands, a bit surprised that she wasn't trying to stop her. Yuiko then placed the gun on the dresser and sat on the bed next to Haruka.

"Do you want to talk about what happened?"

Yuiko asked.

"Not really."

Haruka said, her voice barely audible.

"Okay, well then we should get going. Honestly, this place kinda gives me the creeps."

Yuiko then stood up, and offered Haruka her hand. The blonde didn't take it though, and stood on her own before heading to the door. Yuiko soon followed behind and the two of them made their way downstairs to the front door.

Once they made their way out onto the porch, Yuiko took Haruka to the car and made sure she was settled, before going back for Kyle.

"It's getting late, we should head out now."

Yuiko said, pulling Kyle by his arm.

"Yeah, you're right. Besides it'd be a good idea to beat the evening traffic too."

Kyle then walked with Yuiko to the car, but before they made it all the way there, Yuiko stopped and turned her attention to Genjiro.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks for taking care of her."

Genjiro didn't say anything, and just gave a simple nod before heading inside. Yuiko and Kyle then made their way to the car, and headed off with Haruka to the treatment facility.
