Authors Note- Aigh. WordPad sucks! anyhoos...I think Im gonna finish this one up in a few chappys. Im still working on 'Arms of Grace' and rewriting 'To Set Them Free'. TSTF is warping my mind, and I lost the original chappys anyhoo. For that one, I will take any requests that y'all have, but keep in mind, its gonna be Rin and Haru. NO exceptions. And like the last few chapters, the formatting for this one will be the same. the song is 'Lullabye' by Creed.

Normally, I am used to being pulled back and forth. But this is too much, even for me. I have not only Isuzu to take care of, now apparently, Shigure and Hatsuharu.
Isuzu hasn't spoken a single word since I picked her up. She must have been more affected by todays events than most. That child has every right to be upset. No matter what Shigure might think, none of these events were Isuzu's fault. There isn't anyone that can be blamed for this. Everyone is a victim.
Sohma Kyou
I feel helpless. Theres nothing that I can do or say to Haru to help him right now.
Isuzu, where are you? Haru needs you.
He is just laying there, seemingly lost in his own mind. The rat is trying to help Shigure, but I think it would be better just to wait for Hatori. But, no, the rat has to have things his own way. Spoiled brat.
Sohma Akito
I leave for a week, and everything falls apart.
In a way, this is all my fault. If only I had told Shigure why I left...
But, I can't waste my time on regrets.
I have to help Isuzu.
Sohma Isuzu
I can't talk. If I try to, I'll end up crying again.
Why did all this have to happen?
Listen to me, I sound like some pathetic angsty shoujo manga character.
I wasn't paying attention, until Tori-nii slammed on the breaks.
"What the heck do you think you are doing, Tori-jisan!" Satsuki proceeded to smack Hiro on the head for that remark.
"Tori-nii...whats wrong?"
He just got out of the car, and ran with his medical bag.
The rest of us followed him. Or tried to, seeing as my feet weren't in the condtion for running. Honda grabbed me, and helped me along.
Dear God...
I don't care about Shigure, but when I saw Haru laying there, something in me broke.
I had Honda help me as fast as she could over to Haru. Physically, he looked fine. But emotionally...
He's just as I was, before he and Kureno found me.
I put his head in my lap, and started stroking his hair. He was still crying.
I started singing to him. I only hope that it will calm him down.
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Oh my loveā¦in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Will rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that
you showed me
That you showed me
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Haru... please. Wake up.
Sohma Hatsuharu
I hurt.
Is it so wrong to want to be with her? Why should she be punished, when its all my fault?
God, I need her.
I can almost feel her here.
Its some kind of dream. I know it.
She's singing to me. She hasn't done that since we were children. She has to be here.
But, if I open my eyes, I'm afraid that she won't be there.
My tears stopped. I can feel myself start to fall asleep. Her voice has that quality to it. I'm just going to lay here, and let my self rest.
