BoomKat for chapter 10: yeah, i know what you mean with dissapointed but not dissapointed thing. i was seriously thinking about making them a couple, but i decided that i wouldn't. i think it would have messed up the plot. but i may do a different one later, like, set when they're older? i dunno, depends. we'll see. seen the show yet? oh, and i was just wondering, have you ever read dragon knights? my obsession is slowly slipping from fb to dk, so i just wanted to know. anyways thanks for reviewing!

kyo-obsessedru2: thank you for reviewing!

kyo's little koneko: well, i was gonna leave them there, but that would kinda be stretching all of this out, like, a lot, so i changed my mind. thanks for reviewing!

biawutnow: thanks for reviewing!

"I'm hungry."

Kisa stated as she continued walking around the room, examining Hana's interesting things. She'd been (completely) awake for about 20 minutes.

Haru stayed sitting against the wall.

"Ok, we'll go see if Hana is up yet."

'And I have to tell her that we're leaving...'

He sighed as he stood up.

"Mmmmm."

Kisa came over to him, and slipped her hand into his as the exited the room and went down the stairs.

Hana was sitting on the sofa with a book. She stood as they came in.

"You're awake. Did you get enough sleep?"

Haru nodded.

"Yes, thank you. But, Kisa is hungry..."

"Megumi left cereal and things like that in the kitchen. You can help yourself."

She said to Kisa, smiling.

Kisa let go of Haru, and went quickly into the kitchen.

Hana turned back to Haru.

"Sit down."

She sat on the sofa, and gestured for Haru to do the same.

He obeyed.

"Now, Megumi and I will be ready to cast the spell-"

Haru cut her off.

"Hana, I thought about that..."

She was silent, listening intently.

"I can't ask you to do that."

"What do you mean?"

Hana looked confused. (possibly the first time that's ever happened.)

"I mean...We...I can't invole you or your brother in this. It isn't safe. So, we're going to get out of your way as soon as we can. I'm sorry to have caused so much of a disturbance already."

"...Haru,-"

Just then the phone rang.

Hana hesitated for a minute before standing to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Miss Hanajima?" (pretty sure that's how you spell her name.)

"Yes?"

"This is Shigure Sohma."

Hana looked at Haru questioningly.

"Hi. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Yes. Hatsuharu and Kisa are with you, right?"

"Yes."

"Can I speak with Hatsuharu?"

"Yes, just a second."

She covered the phone and turned to Haru.

"It's Shigure. He wants to talk to you."

Haru's stomach froze.

'Oh god...What now? What else could possibly go wrong?'

He swallowed and moved to the phone.

"He-Hello?"

"Haru?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"You need to come to the main house. Bring Kisa. Now."

"Shigure, what happened?"

"Just come. I'll see you soon."

Haru stood still as the other line died.

huh...a little rushed, but what can i do? oh, by the way, i thought i'd put this up.
