Steff7: thank you for reviewing!
The room was completely silent as Haru slowly put the phone down.
'We can't...How could I take her back there? I told her I wouldn't...I promised her I wouldn't make her go back there...But...It was Shigure...And he wouldn't betray us to Akito...But I promised...'
"Haru?"
Kisa came out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
She asked, seeing the look of confusion on his face.
He took a deep breath and brought his eyes up to hers.
"That was Shigure...He wants us to go back to the main house..."
Kisa was quite, thinking hard. After a minute she gave her answer.
"...Then we should go..."
"Kisa..."
Haru's eyes welled with tears.
'She's so strong...I promised her...And now...God, she's changed so much...'
"Are you sure?"
Kisa nodded.
"Shigure wouldn't do anything bad...And he wouldn'y ask something like this unless it was something important..."
"Ok...You're right..."
"So you're leaving?"
Hana said more as a statement than a question.
"Yes. I'm sorry we've been so much trouble, and we're extremely grateful to you and your family for letting us stay here."
"Don't mention it."
Haru took Kisa hand and they started towards the door.
"Haru?"
Hana spoke again.
Haru turned to face her.
"Be careful."
"We will. And thank you again, for everything."
"Yeah, thanks. Goodbye."
Kisa added.
"Goodbye."
Hana said quietly, smiled to herself.
'They'll be alright...'
Once they were on the street, Haru and Kisa got a cab back to the main house. Neither one spoke as they rode in the backseet, Kisa staring out the window, and Haru with his eyes closed, preparing himself for whatever awaited them at their destination.
"This the place?"
The driver asked them as they pulled up in front of the gate.
"...Yeah..."
Haru answered faintly.
He and Kisa got out, standing in the driveway. Kisa moved her hand towards Haru's, searching for support. He took it, and sqeezed.
"I'm here. I'll stay with you the whole time, I promise."
He said quietly.
"I know..."
She said just as quietly.
Haru took a deep breath, stepped up to the gate, and knocked.
