Haru sat at the table. His hands on the wood, fingers twirling with each other out of nervousness. His mind thought over what he had saw. Kyou and Tohru kissing, it wasn't possible.

He thought of Yuki. It was obvious that Yuki liked Tohru, way more than obvious. It might as well be fifty feet in the air in big buzzing letters: YUKI LOVES TOHRU. Hatsuharu's eyes narrowed. His thoughts went deeper when they were suddenly interrupted.

"Hatsuharu, are you staying for dinner?" Tohru smiled as she questioned him. Haru simply shook his head and declined the invitation.

"Haaaaru! Whatcha doin'?" A high pitched childish voice that came from a small boy squealed when he saw Haru walking down the corridor. The blonde haired hare hopped over to the cow.

"I'm going to see Akito," was Haru's straightforward answer. He started up towards the room that Akito stayed in. Momiji stared after Haru.

"I think Haru is getting stranger and stranger by the day..." He said before skipping off.

"Hatsuharu, I haven't spoken with you in a long time..." Haru could tell that Akito's voice was getting weak by the second. The white haired boy nodded and sat before Akito.

"What have you come here for?" Akito's whisper was now turning into a forced hoarse sound. Hatsuharu gazed at Akito's frail body lying on the ground. His eyes looking more cold than usual. He then heard Hatori's voice from outside the room.

"Yes, I see. Uh-huh, I'll be right there. Yes, I know it's two months too early."

Haru knew it then. Kana was having the child. Akito was dying. It started frightening him that a man was dying right in front of him. Hatori was leaving and probably so was Momiji. There was nobody else to turn to. Haru knelt down by Akito.

"Tell me, what did you want?" Akito glared at the cow with fierce eyes. Haru opened his mouth to say something.

It was painful for Hatori to see his previous love now giving birth to a child that wasn't his. He wished that somebody else would deliver the baby, but no, he was the doctor. Hatori saw the first movement of life, a head.

Before Haru could say a word, Akito grunted. He fell to the ground. Hatsuharu's eyes watched the small framed body curl up. Haru went over to the body cautiously. Akito's midnight hair fell upon his face.

"Ak..ito?" Haru's words stumbled out of his mouth. He pushed some of the locks of hair from Akito's face. Haru gasped and jumped back from what he saw.

The baby was coming. Soon the Soumas new leader would be born.

Haru gawked at Akito's face. For a few short moments he say Yuki there instead of Akito. He couldn't help but think that it was something more then just they look alike. He saw Yuki there for a reason.

"Tell me, Hatsuharu, do you enjoy Tohru Honda being around?" Akito struggled a few moments to get up. He used the strength in his left arm to push his entire body half way up. Haru didn't respond.

"Are you brainwashed along with all the others? They are going to suffer and be sorry they didn't listen to me! They are going to regret they trusted that girl!" Akito snarled. Haru still didn't answer.

"Couldn't we have gone to a proper hospital?" Kana's husband demanded. All the Soumas stared at him with glares, some with smiles, laughing at his stupidity. This was what they always would do, hospitals have too many nurses and doctors and all it took was one bump.

"Yu-Akito.." There it was again, Yuki's face. Haru almost even called Akito by Yuki's name. Haru couldn't imagine that pale skin get any whiter, but it did. Enough so, that you could see blue spider webs of blood beneath his skin.

"C'mon Kana, the baby is almost here."

Akito's hand grasped at Haru's wrist. He glared up at the white haired boy with those cold eyes.

Dead, he's almost dead, Hatsuharu thought. He had never seen somebody die, let alone another Souma.

The child was born. The one called, Akeitaro.
