So this was kinda short... no excuses... and it turned out it didn't take me as long as i thought ti would to post another chapter. this is going downhill for me though. so one of these days i am going to take a break and write a really good chapter!

The next morning Kairi stumbled sleepily into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee the same way she did every morning. As she walked back into her room to get dressed, she saw her clothes from the previous day on the floor where she'd thrown them. She gasped as everything came back to her, and ran to her jeans. She let out a relieved sigh as she took the paper out of her pocket and confirmed that she hadn't just dreamed everything.

"Thank you" she whispered and hugged the jeans as if they were the ones who'd made it all happen.

Later that day, after walking for half an hour, she paused in front of the door that was supposedly Haru's. Kairi took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. For a minute nobody answered, and she felt herself panicing.

'Oh god...what if I got the address wrong? This city is huge...I might never see him again...Oh no...Oh no, oh no, oh no...-'

"Hey." The door opened and Haru leaned against the doorframe, looking slightly concerned.

"Are you ok? You looked kinda feaked for a second..."

Kairi smiled, feeling relieved.

"No, I'm fine."

He just looked at her for a minute, then spoke again.

"Do you want to come in"

Kairi just nodded her head, afraid that her words would become mixed up if she tryed to speak. Remaining silent, she followed Haru back into his appartment. None of the lights were on, and it took a minute for her eyes to adjust to the faint light from the windows. When they did, she slowly turned to see the entire room. There wasn't very much furniture, and the few pieces that were in the room were simple and greyish. It gave the appearence of being cold, but the room actually felt very comfortable.

"I like your place" Kairi commented, still looking around.

"Thanks. I just moved here a few weeks ago." he said.

'Shut up! Don't get comfortable, this isn't going to happen again. Just until I find out what's with that girl...But she seems ok...maybe I won't have to disconnect completely...'

"Oh? You like it here"

"Yeah...Better than the last place I lived anyway..."

She thought for a second. "Do you move around a lot" She asked curiously.

"Yeah..."

'Shut up!'

They were both silent for a minute, not quite knowing how to continue. The Kairi noticed something else about the room

There were a few books on the coffee table, some plastic dishes on the counter, and a few other verious items, but...

"You don't have anything breakable...You know, like vases, or picture frames, or...anything..." She said sounding slightly intersted.

Haru's breath stopped for a second as his eyes widened.

'This was a bad idea. She should leave. Now. She has to leave. Can't be here.'

"Uh, I just remembered that I gotta be somewhere s right now. So I need to leave. Which means you need to leave. Sorry. I'll talk to you a later, ok" Haru words were rushed as he practically pushed Kairi back out the door, then slammed it shut behind her. As soon as she was out, he sunk to the floor with his back to the door and closed his eyes.

Shards of glass on the floor...so much glass...never again...never...

'What?'

Kairi stood silently, totaly shocked, out side the door.

"What the hell was that" she muttered to herself. She stood with her back to the door for a minute, trying to decide what to do.

'I guess he really had to be somehwere...that was weird, though...he seemed totaly freaked...scared...oh well.'

She shrugged her shoulders and started towards the stairs.

'I gotta get to work...He'll call me later or something...I shouldn't worry. I'm not giving up on this. I promise. I'm not letting go...not this time...'

She smiled to herself as she walked down the street.

'I promise...'
