Chapter 14

The next day Hana woke up and couldn't figure out where she was at first. Then she remembered that she was in Shigure's office.

She sat up and noticed the door that lead to his bedroom was open. She cautiously walked over there and pushed the door the rest of the way open. She looked inside but didn't see Shigure anywhere. She closed the door and walked out of the office.

She walked into the living room and peaked inside the kitchen only to see everyone sitting at the table eating, along with Haru and Momiji.

Hana limped over to them and said, "Why didn't ya'll wake me for breakfast?"

"Hana, you shouldn't be up, you need to rest," said Shigure standing up and putting his arm around her, but not enough to make himself poof.

"I'm fine Shigure. Don't worry about me," said Hana sitting at the table.

"But Hatori said you needed to rest for three to four days," said Shigure sitting next to her.

"I'm fine Shigure, I swear," said Hana getting some breakfast.

"Ok, if you're sure," said Shigure eating his food again.

Hana smiled at him and ate her food.

Everyone ate in an awkward silence, but it got even more awkward after breakfast in the living room.

No one spoke much, and if they did it was very short. Hana could tell they were all worried about her. Even Momiji, and he was the one who did it.

Hana looked at everyone and said, "I want to go out. I don't want to be inside anymore."

Shigure looked at her with a concerned expression and said, "You can't go out yet. I don't want anything to happen to you."

Hana rolled her eyes and leaned back on the couch muttering something under her breath.

Shigure watched her for a second until he said, "Hana, I need to talk to you alone for a second. Will you come with me to my office?"

Hana nodded and walked into his office and sat on the couch. Shigure walked in after her and sat beside her.

"I have something for you. I woke up early and went straight to town to get it," said Shigure reaching into a drawer and pulling out a little bag.

"What is it?" Hana asked taking the bag.

"You'll see," he replied.

She opened the bag and pulled out a blue bracelet with the word faith on it.

"You bought me another bracelet?" she asked looking at him questionably.

"Not just any bracelet. One like your other one that can let you hug us, and we don't change," he replied.

"Thank you Shigure," said Hana putting it on.

Shigure didn't reply just looked at her. If anyone had been watching this seen, they would see all the love in the world in Shigure's eyes.

Hana looked over at him and hugged him. He held her to him, and started to tear up.

"Why am I tearing up? I don't have a reason to cry," he thought trying to hold back the tears. "I don't want to let her go. I want to hold her for the rest of my life."

Hana felt a tear hit her shoulder, and she pulled away a little.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" she asked looking worried.

"You're so beautiful, and I never want to let you go," he said pulling her against him again.

Hana said something into his chest, but Shigure couldn't quite hear her, so he said, "What did you say?"

Hana looked up at Shigure, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "I love you."

Shigure started crying at the look in her eyes and said, "I love you too."

Hana started crying and pulled him closer to her so she could cry into his muscular chest. Shigure held Hana, his head resting on hers, and let the tears fall from his eyes.

Hana leaned back and laid on the couch.

Shigure looked at her questionably and said, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know. I felt like laying down for a second," she replied.

"Oh," said Shigure leaning back on the couch.

"Lay by me," said Hana patting the extra space beside her.

"Ok, but there might not be much room," said Shigure laying beside her.

"I don't care. Just as long as I'm with you," she said putting her arm around him.

Shigure smiled and pulled her to him.

After a few minutes they fell asleep.

When Shigure woke up, he noticed Hana wasn't the anymore.

He walked into the living room, and when he didn't see her in the, he asked, "Has anyone seen Hana?"

"No, I thought she was in the with you," said Tohru.

"She was, but when I woke, she wasn't there anymore," he replied.

"You don't think she did what she said she was going to do last night do you?" asked Tohru standing up.

"I bet she did," he replied.

Shigure walked outside and called Hana's name for about five minutes until she walked up the path to his house holding bags from stores in town.

"What are you screaming my name about?" she asked.

"I thought you ran off like you said you would," he replied.

"You're way too clingy," she said walking inside.

"I'm not clingy, I just worry," said Shigure following her inside.

"Oh yeah, you're not clingy? Then why do you always have to know where I am?" she asked angrily.

"I'm just curious," he replied.

"Ok whatever. Well tomorrow I won't be coming home right after school, so, don't wait up," she said walking up to her room.

It was late, so when Hana went up to her room, she just laid down and went to sleep so she would wake up early tomorrow.
