Chapter 2: Getting help.

She wanted something but couldn't seem to grasp it. It was her life, her name, her future. She wanted somewhere where she could gallop on horses on a mountainside. She wanted to live in a place where war didn't exist. She wanted someone to love her and yet this couldn't happen. He was a man who never spoke of love. She would glance in his direction wishing that he would look back. She wanted to feel warm arms around her and see the blue waves engulf her soul...

Misuru read this excerpt from one of her friends books then slammed it shut. Suzume was too busy on the phone to notice that someone was knocking at the font door. Her mother ran out of the bathroom in a white robe, trying to comb her hair.

"Suzume why can't you get the door? God one of these days I'll disconnect your phone then you wouldn't have anyone to talk to!"

Suzume sighed and covered the mouthpiece of the phone.

"Misuru, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Misuru put a fold in the page of the book and placed it neatly with the others upon the shelve. The knocking on the door stopped once Suzume's mother answered it. Suzume slapped Misuru on the back once she hung up the phone. Misuru flinched.

"I really wish you'd stop doing that."

"Okay fine...god Misuru you never let me have fun." Suzume sighed.

Misuru saw a large box in the corner that said Twister. She ran over to the closet and pulled it out slowly. Suzume eyed her with a mischievous look.

"You want to play?" Suzume smiled

"Sure I'll play. But first a little wager." Misuru replied

""Whoever wins has to eat cat food."

"That's gross but sure I'll do it." Misuru said. "That means you also have to."

"You're on Misuru!"

Haru had locked himself out in his bedroom once the cops left. Black haru had erupted and crashed the place. Sometimes he didn't know how to control it and his parents had a point. He needed help but he didn't know where to get it. Maybe from yuki. Yuki had helped him out before and it worked, well not exactly but he'll try. Shigure answered his door with a surprised expression.

"Haa-kun why are you here so late at night?"

"Is Yuki home?" Yuki walked over to the door with a rag in one hand and tohru was behind him smiling, gay as usual. (An: happy gay not the other gay.)

"What is it Haru?"

"Yuki I need your help."

"Did Kisa run away from home again?"

"No not that. My parents say that I'm a burden and that I'll go to juvenile hall."

"What?" Yuki replied "What did you do this time Haru?"

AT SUZUME"S HOUSE

Misuru was looking straight at the bowl of mixed tuna and sardines. Suzume held it out in front of her looking at Misuru's disgusted face. She was so close to winning the game that she forgot the wager they had made. Too bad she had to eat the cat food.

"Suzume c'mon this is disgusting."

"But you agreed to do it Misuru now eat!"

Misuru threw the can out into the garbage and ran out of the apartment and onto the street. Suzume followed behind her with a look of distaste.

"All you had to do was say fine I won't do it. Now you wasted cat food!"

"Really Suzume do you have anything better to do in your life?"

"Not exactly."

"Well, there is my point!"

Just before Misuru headed home she noticed Haru walking down the street with Yuki. Haru looked pissed off and the only time she saw him like that was last week during gym. The teacher told him that he wasn't allowed to wear that outfit at school and he had lashed out. Misuru was talking to Momiji when the gym teacher was thrown into the bleachers. A couple of the students held him back and Suzume began to laugh.

"Oh my god I'd thought I'd never see the day when Haru would do that!" she laughed. Misuru blushed still staring at Haru.

"Neither did I."
