Rave: Chapter Four

Sith Negotiator

Silently passing number men two and five, Haru Glory, looking depressed, heads on his way to Café Tsubomi. Just outside, Haru can hear laughing, big surpise, Genma laughing… "WA HA HA! You know you're not the only one who's thought up the goofy name Shabutaro!" Haru sees Shiba sitting on the stool. Shiba just looked at him. "Oh ho ho, child, you forget, I was there." Shiba smiles as he sees Haru walk in, "Love to stay and talk Haru, but I have to walk Shabutaro here," pointing to his bulldog, "See you sometime." Genma covered his mouth, "Goodbye, shabu… sha… BWA HA HA!" Shiba walked out with a sweat drop hover over his head. Haru managed a small smile, "Where have I heard that before?" Genma sighed, magically halting his laughter. "What's got ya down, Haru?" Haru sighed, "Elie trouble…" Of all people, he hoped Genma would understand, but as soon as he heard that hyena laugh, he was running out of the café. Genma sighed, "Poor kid. From losing his parents to woman troubles."

Elie lounged in the hot springs, trying to think of how to go about this business with Haru. She'd felt really bad about it, and she thought about how to make it up to him. She decided that after a week and a half, it was time to start being nice again, but she'd enjoyed their last 'game' with him, so she decided to be nicer than she had been, she didn't have to worry about her memories anymore, since her battle with Seig Hart, she'd realized that her memories where Haru, that's why these past days ate away at her.

Haru walked up to his dad's room, and as he was about to knock, Gale called, "Come in, son." Haru, confused, opened the door. "Dad, you think I've left Elie alone for long enough?" Gale looked at him, this was obviously eating away at him. "Yeah, son, you've wasted too much time already, I want to hear you two again, tonight." Haru sighed, "You're asking too much, I'm still not sure if she'll forgive me." Gale smirked, "You've got yourself a catch there, son, go to it." Haru, sighed, and set off to find Elie.

But, instead of finding Elie, he found Musica, "Yo! Haru, I'm not sure what you did this time, But Elie ran to the ferry and looked REALLY, REALLY, REALLY Mad."

Haru's eyes went wide, and he dashed after her. 'No, I love her too much, I'll never let her go, even if she's still mad at me, I need her around.' Haru raced to see Elie running onto the ferry. He'd left her alone to long, she must hate him now, he had to talk to her. As soon as he reached the dock, the ferry pulled the ramp up, he lept and the bridge, he missed it, and flew into the water, there goes his chance with Elie… EVER!

HA HA! Cliffhanger, sort of. Read, review, and well, just review.

Sorry this was shorter than the others, but I wanted to end it with some sort of cliffhanger this time. Nasty comments, complaints, story ideas, praise, money? E-mail them to RaveFanMailhotmail.com.
