Rave: Chapter Three

Sith Negotiator

After all was said and done, Haru felt really guilty about what he did to Elie, she was drunk, and he had used that to his advantage. And not only that, he was hung over… Which only dawned on him after the… erm, 'fun' was done.

Both of them laying down, Haru groaned from across the room.

Elie felt guilty, she had played with Haru while he was drunk… As well as guilty, she felt horrible… Hungover also, but the, erm, 'energy' she got from Haru's, well, 'talents.'

Elie felt horrible, so she left to go drench in the local hot springs.

Hours later

Haru walked up and knocked on his father's door. "Yeah?" Haru opened the door and walked in. "Son, you need something?" Gale was worried, he rarely sees Haru like this. Haru sighed, "Hey, old man, I need to ask you about Elie." Gale laughed, "That girl you spent all night with, yeah, what about her?" Haru looked sad, "Well, I think I may have… WAIT A SEC! How'd you find out about that?" Gale laughed, "My room's right next to yours, you two can get pretty loud." Haru sighed, "Yeah, we were drunk, that's what we get for starting a night club." Gale looked at him, "So, you think she's mad at you, or will be?" Haru nodded. "Well, don't let that get you down, I did something similar with your mother…" He laughed, and went on, "But I left her alone for a few days, then started treating her to things, like breakfast in bed, and cooking her meals, pampering her, y'know, the works." Haru looked at him, "Leave her some space, then start being nicer, and nicer." Haru smirked at his father and nodded.

Elie, upon entering the springs, found that she wasn't alone, Cattleya was lounging in the springs already. "Hey Elie, what's up?" Elie looked at her, "I'm feeling pretty down right now…" Cattleya looked at her, "What? You couldn't give little Haru pleasure last night?" Elie started to nod "Yes" when it hit her, "WHAT!? How did you know that!?" She laughed, "You two practically shook the whole bottom story, how could I have NOT heard that? You're lucky Musica, nor anyone else, was around to hear." Elie looked at her, "You aren't mad?" Cattleya sighed, "I was, but I figured it was bound to happen sooner or later, heck, when you guys kept going out before the nightclub came around, I figured you two were at it already, so I was in terms with it for a little while now…"

Elie frowned, "Well, I'm not sure what Haru felt about it…" Her frown got worse, "So.. So…" She began sobbing a little, then began crying fairly quietly. Cattleya put her hand on Elie's shoulder, "Now, now, don't worry, just leave him a little space, then, little by little, start getting more and more flirty… He'll come to."

Several days later.

Haru and Elie bump into each other in the hallway, "Sorry…" They both spat curtly, then walked their separate ways. Musica even noticed this, and confronted Haru. "Man," Musica started, "What's your deal, you nearly had Elie hanging off of you everywhere you two went, and now, you're avoiding each other like the plague." Haru wasn't sure whether or not to tell Musica. He decided not to. "I guess we've just been tired recently, sorry, Musica, but I gotta run." At that, Haru ran out the door, off to who knows where…

That's the end for this chapter, I tried to change the "energy" that's gotten into Haru and Elie. Hope it didn't sound too farfetched, if it did, leave a review and yell at me, or comments, questions, concerns, bad jokes, or ideas for where to lead the story, if you want, leave those at RaveFanMailhotmail.com. Any complaints, angry comments, and threats to kill, sent them to billgatesmicrosoft.com… No, I'm kidding, send those to RaveFanMailhotmail.com also.

Until next time…
