Yuri: WHAT?!? They're not poisoned, I SWEAR!!!
Reviewers: ...
Yuri: Oh, I see... I pulled a Hatori on you, didn't I? I gave you something saying that I promised to give it to you if you did what I said and I never really promised. Tee-hee!
Note to midnight blue-rhea: Thank-you soo much for your helpful criticism, but I have my very own personal editor snuggles Ryo-sama, and she reads everything I write and helps me make it better. Thank-you once again for trying to help, but if you could cringe at my horrible writing skills in silence, I would appreciate it. P.S. Sorry I was just REALLY mean and sarcastic, I didn't mean it. I've had a bad day and I know I shouldn't take it out on other people. Sowwy... Brownie?
Note to Ryo-sama: Thank-you for reviewing sweetie, but I'd like to point out two things: a.) It's an angst story. Bad sad things happen. and b.)THEY HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE STORY SO IF YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT I'LL WRITE A NEW FIC AND TORTURE YOU!!! (you know I will ) So other than my bad chicken-scratch handwriting, did you find any other horrendous problems i.e. spelling, grammar, using the same word so many times it made you twitch ect? E-mail me. Luv ya! P.S. If you'd just give me your sacred, precious notebook, I'd type (slowly..) and upload your story for you! Ta-ta tosses Kaiken Phrase across the room
Note to Usagibunny325: If you are reading this and you don't review I'll hurt you tomorrow!!! Aishteru nee-san!
Chapter 2 Fleeting Hope
After Hatsuharu parted from Hatori, he walked west with a slight feeling that he was going the wrong way. Haru disregarded that feeling because it was usually wrong. It was a feeling from the same conscience after all, that had told him in second grade to answer that China was located in South America. It was wrong then, so it was wrong now.
Hopefully.
After walking for what seemed like an enormous amount of time, Haru decided that he probably was going the wrong way after all.
So he closed his eyes and spun around a couple of times. Then he continued walking. He ended up walking straight into a cave. It wasn't a particularly large cave, nor was it a particularly warm cave. But it was a form of shelter from the snow. And after numerous years of getting lost, Haru always followed the rule of thumb: Take what you can get when you can get it. So he sat down on a rock to rest.
AS he rested, he found himself wondering what Hatori had been doing in the middle of the woods in the first place. And why he had looked so upset. Being lost and upset were the last two things that he would use to describe Hatori. So why was he currently both?
Haru shivered as a chilly wind blew through the cave. He needed something more to keep him warm. Some kind of fire. And for fire, you needed wood.
So Haru set off, in search of wood, and completely unaware that he would probably be struck by lightning before he found that cave again.
Haru walked quite a distance, stopping periodically to gather some sticks and branches.
After awhile, he began to get dizzy. Whether it was from hunger or fatigue, he couldn't tell. But he knew enough to drop his kindling and not gather anymore.
Hatsuharu turned randomly, just to keep himself from being completely bored. Unconsciously he began to wonder what would happen if he died out here. Would he be missed? Would he be mourned? Would he be the second Sohma to die that day?
Rin would probably be happy. She hated his guts now.
Momiji might be sad if he calmed down enough to fully grasp the situation.
And what about Kisa? Who would go after her if she ran away again? Oh, that's right. Tohru would. After she was done crying over his death, that is.
Haru was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that he'd been reduced to stumbling weakly. Nor did he notice the object sticking out of the ground.
He tripped and fell flat on his face. What did he trip over? A hand????
He dug through the freezing snow and finally uncovered Hatori. He was unconscious and his pulse was extremely weak, but he was alive.
It was then that Haru realized that it was not only his own life at stake now, but Hatori's too. And if Hatori died, Akito would die faster. Hatori had to make it home.
Haru grabbed the half-frozen doctor by both hands and began to walk backwards, Hari in tow.
It wasn't long before Hari reverted to his zodiac form. Haru put his trench coat back on and tucked the seahorse into his pocket, then trudged on.
Until his strength gave out, that is. Then Haru collapsed. He could no longer move. He was in the same boat as Hari now, and it was sinking fast. Their hope was fading, and so were they.
Ryo-sama: Not only are you my editor, but you are one of my bestest friends and I love you. Best of luck on your play, hope it goes better than it has previous. BREAK A LEG!!
R&R!!!! LUV Y'ALL!!
