kyo's little koneko: thanks for reviewing, there should be several more chapters. this was actually meant to be a one shot, so i'm not sure how much longer i can make it last. but i'll finsh it, don't worry.

'She'll be ok...'

Haru was leaning against the doorframe of Kisa's room, watching her sleep.

'But this can't last much longer...It isn't real...Not for us, anyway...This can't last much longer...'

He sighed and turned to go back downstairs, when he heard Kisa whimper in her sleep. Quietly, he came to kneel by her bed, and slowly stroked her hair.

"Shhhh...It's alright...It's alright..."

He whispered.

Kisa's eyes shot open. For a second, they held the most extreme fear and pain a person could have and live with. As the moment passed, however, they gave way to tears and she cryed silently.

Haru got up and sat down on her bed, pulling her into his arms.

"Shhh...Kisa...Don't cry. Please don't cry. It's ok, you're ok. I'm here. Don'y cry,"

He whispered.

After a few minutes she stoppped and wiped her eyes.

"I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'm fine now. I'm sorry."

She said quietly as she broke apart from him.

"It's alright."

He paused.

"Kisa, have you had nightmares like this before now?"

She shook her head.

"Ths was the first time..."

"Alright...Do you think you'll be ok to go back to sleep?"

She nodded.

"Ok. If you dream again, then you should come downstairs and find me."

"Alright."

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes. I'm fine."

She laid back down and pulled the covers up aaround her.

"Goodnight, Haru."

"Goodnight."

He stood up and went back down to the kitchen.

'This is the first time she's had nightmares...I hope it doesn't happen again...I can't do anything about that...I can't help her with that..."

He sighed and started making himself some tea.

"Haru? You're still up?"

Shigure yawned as he walked into the kitchen.

"Looks like it. What are you doing?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"Hmmm."

They were both quiet before Haru spoke.

"Kisa dreamed...For the first time. Bad stuff. She was making noises in her sleep. She never does that. Ever."

"Did she go back to sleep?"

"Yes. I told her to come downstairs if it happened again."

Shigure nodded.

"Ok."

"Where were you the other day?"

Haru asked.

"I went to see Hatori."

"And?"

"He said she could stay for now..."

"That's it?"

"Just about...He reminded be that we'd have to face Akito eventually, but didn't say that would necessarily have to happen any time soon. We have time. She has time."

"Ok."

After that they were silent. Kisa didn't come downstairs, and Shigure went back to bed. Haru didn't sleep.

"Hatori!"

Momiji screamed as he ran into Hatori's office.

"Hatori! His car is gone! It's gone! Hatori!"

Hatori stood up quickly.

"Are you sure?"

He asked, as the sinking feeling of fear set in.

"Yes! Hatori, hurry! You have to hurry!"

Hatori grabbed his coat and started to leave quickly.

"Call Shigure! Tell him I'm on my way, and to get her out of there!"

And with that he left.

Momiji struggled to regain control of his voice as he dialed the number.

'Please hurry...Please...Pick up, come on! Hurry!'

"Hello?"

Haru's tired voice answered.

"Haru! He's coming! You have to leave! Now!"

Haru breath left him as the phone fell to the floor.
