"I can't. Kairi, I want to...But I can't."

Haru said.

They had been sitting and talking about the situation on her bed for almost an hor. At this point Kairi was trying to talk Haru in to going back and talking to his family.

"But Haru, they deserve an explanation. It's been years! You just left after what happened with out saying goodbye or anything, they must all be so worried!"

She pleaded.

"Kairi, I want to. You have no idea how much I wish I could, but I can't! My family is twisted, and I could snap so easily! I don't know what I would do if one of the ones I cared about got hurt!"

"Haru..."

"No. Can we please just drop it?"

"No! Haru, I've spent so much of my life wishing I had a family, and you're throwing yours away! They'd understand! They'd still accept and love you! And from the way your family seems with the curse and everything, it really seems like worrying about you is the last thing they need on their minds! Haru, you have to go back and tell them!"

Her eyes filled with tears as she spoke.

He was silent, really thinking about it all.

'I hate seeing her like this...I know she misses her parents. I know she feels strongely about this, god, it really isn't fair that she wants a family, and I don't want mine...maybe I do want mine...But how could I go back there? How could I come home after s much time...and what if I do wind up hurting one of them? What if It was Momiji? God knows h pisses me off enough sometimes. What if I hurt Kisa...? What if she...I'd never be able to forgive myself. Never. But Kairi's right...But I can't...'

"Please. You have to..."

Kairi whispered.

He brought his eyes up to meet hers, then took a deep breath.

"Ok...Alright, I'll tell them..."

Kairi smiled through her tears, and threw her arms around him.

"God..Thank you Haru."

He returned her embrace.

"I love you Kairi."

"I love you too."

After a few minutes they broke apart.

"Do you want me to go with you or something?"

Kairi asked.

Haru shook his head.

"No...No. I need to do this alone."

"Alright...Don't worry, ok? You won't regret doing this."

"I know, I think...if that makes any sense..."

By the end of his sentence he looked terribly confused.

Kairi laughed lightly.

"You won't. Trust me."

She paused.

"Do you have a time in mind? Because, the sooner the better."

"Uhm...Yeah...Yeah, I think I'll go..tomorrow...actually..."

Kairi's smile grew wider.

"Ok! But only if you're sure, I don't want you to rush anything..."

"No, I'm sure."

He paused.

"Thanks Kairi..."

"No problem."

They embraced, kissed, and then got up to eat lunch.
