I checked my e-mail today and I didn't get any reviews yesterday, that made me sad. But then I went to a party and I felt better. So if you don't want me to be sad, please send me reviews! Oh, and if anyone knows who Rin is, she is coming later! If you don't I'll explain when she comes.
Point of No Return
Haru's POV
"Christian, do you remember when I told you about my run away attempt?" Kyra asked as she pulled out of his embrace. I felt jealousy turn my vision red, but the earlier kiss Kyra and I had shared helped me to ignore it.
"Yes, that's where I got the name Kya from," Christian said the last part to me. I glanced at the clock and was amazed to find it already morning. There was a quick rap on the door before the doctor entered.
"Good morning Miss Titsugumi and guests." He was a rollie pollie man with a happy face and a big smile. "I have good news, you are such a good little patient you get to go home two days early. As in, today." This time Kyra hugged me and I felt ecstatic at the thought of Kyra living a few houses from mine at the Sohma main estate.
"Thank you so much doctor," Kyra graciously added before the doctor left.
"Do you have anywhere to stay other than with that… beast?" Christian asked her. I felt strangely calm, to know that Christian cared about her almost as much as I did.
"My father told the Sohmas that I could live with them. Don't worry though, I'll have Haru there to protect me." The last part she said with a smirk trying to rile him up. I disguised a chuckle as a cough and earned a death glare from Christian.
Later that day: At the Sohma estate
Kyra's POV
Christian had offered to help me unpack at the Sohmas', but I declined. I didn't want Christian to meet Akito yet. That would be all I needed, I thought sarcastically. Hatori had picked Haru and I up from the hospital and he was showing me to my room. Haru was next to me. He insisted on carrying my bag. It wasn't that heavy, but he wouldn't let go.
"It isn't huge, but it is clean," Hatori commented opening a door. I walked in first. The air was chilled, but I felt at home right away. I heard Haru come in behind me and out of the corner of my eye I saw him walk to the window.
"Kyra, come look at this." I walked to his side and gazed out the window in the direction he was pointing.
"What?"
"That's my house right there. If you need me at anytime my window is the second to the left." Hatori had been discarded from my mind so I forgot he was standing there. I leaned on Haru's shoulder.
"What did I do to deserve you?" I whispered unsure if even Haru could hear me. His face turned slightly and I smiled at him. He started to move closer, as if he was going to kiss me, but Hatori cleared his throat throwing us back into reality. My face must have been the color of a strawberry, as I had noticed it was accustomed to doing.
"Well Haru, I know that Momiji has been bringing your work home for the duration at the hospital. Thus you should go and do your work."
"Did he bring mine as well?" I asked turning back to Hatori. There was little emotion shown on his face, but his eye seemed to glimmer with a trace of life. I had yet heard Hatori make a joke or laugh and I was beginning to feel curios about the mysterious Hatori.
"I am unsure. You can go with Haru to see if there are copies of the work." I nodded and started out the door after Haru. Hatori shut my door behind him and walked in the opposite direction. I stopped to see where he went. He went down the hall two doors and stopped. There he opened the door and I heard Akito's voice beckon him inside.
"Is that Akito's room?" I whirled around back to Haru. He nodded yes and I felt the blood drain from my head. I live two rooms down from Akito. The fact kept repeating in my head.
"Kyra, are you all right?" Haru asked worriedly touching my shoulder. At first I flinched from his touch, but then I forced myself to be cheerful.
"Yes, I'm fine. Shall we go?" I bubbled and began to frolic to the door. Haru looked as if he wanted to install me in a funny farm, so I tried to tone down the cheerful.
His house's closeness helped my unease. It was neat, tidy, and comfortable. He opened and held to the door for me. When the door shut Haru's mother was upon us.
"Hatsuharu Sohma!" She had begun until she saw me. She glanced from both of us then lifted her hand and pointed. I looked at Haru and he just smiled and nodded. "Welcome to our home. Are you hungry? Because I was just making dinner." I heard my stomach rumble and Haru took my hand.
"I'm sure Kyra would love to stay for dinner." His mother introduced her self then went back to the kitchen and left us to our own devices. Haru gave me a tour of his house and I felt funny. My father had always put my in private schools so that the other kids were always rich and had large houses. But usually I didn't make friends, so this was the second time , besides Shigure's, I had come home with someone to a non-mansion.
I liked Haru's house more than I liked the enormous ones I had usually lived in. My sense of direction has never been good so I could get lost in my own house for hours without finding another person.
"I like your family and your house," I told Haru when we were in his room. He lay down on his bed and I sat at the end.
"But you have only met my mother and some cousins."
"Yes, but if they love you then I'm sure I will like them." I stared at my hands intently to scared to look at him. I was not good at having conversations orbeing affectionate so my situation with Haru scared the crap out of me. I ventured a look at him and he was looking right at me. His eyes seemed to burn.
"I think I'm going to go help your mom," I said quickly when Haru started to lean towards me. I stood up with help from my good arm and walked out of his room.
"Hello dear," Haru's mother said nicely as she continued to make dinner with an expert's grace.
"I came to see if you need any help." She looked at me and smiled a genuine smile this time.
"Thank you, but the only things I have to do now is put things in the pan." I nodded and sat at the table. The phone rang once, but Haru must have picked it up. When dinner was almost done cooking Haru came out of his room and sat next to me.
Dinner was delicious, but there wasn't much conversation. Afterwards Haru walked me back to what he called the 'main house'.
"So how many houses are there?" I asked looking at all the houses everywhere. It was like a small town. "Well the majority of the Sohma's live here, and in-laws and so forth. So I'm sure you can imagine the numbers of people." There was silence for a while, (A/N they didn't go right back to the main house, Haru took her on a tour) when Haru tried to take me hand.
Ever since his room I was feeling awkward around him, so the simply show of affection startled me. Haru stopped abruptly when I dodged his hand a third time. "What's the matter Kyra? Did I do something wrong?" He asked. I didn't dare look at him. Not now. I knew anything I would have said would have made the situation worse. Instead I ran, as fast as I could in the growing darkness in a place I didn't know.
Haru yelled after me and I could hear his pursuit, but when a door opened, I glanced behind to see a beautiful girl standing there. Haru stopped and stared wide eyed at the girl and I kept running seeing it as a chance to escape.
Haru's POV
One side of my heart was telling me to chase after Kyra, while the other frozen and shriveled half came back to life. There stood the one person I had wanted, and the one person who rejected me. Rin's beautiful hair hung around her shoulders and the light inside the house silhouetted her body.
"Long time no see Haru," her tone emotionless. I didn't speak or move. My mind was still tugging me to go after Kyra, but Rin's presence wasn't allowing me to leave.
"Suzu, how you've grown," I whispered then raced in the direction Kyra had headed.
Well, I think I should leave the rest for next time. Oh, and Po? I can't tell you her secret, it's … hard to explain. I did tell you once. Refer back to chapter 11 ok? If you have any other questions anyone, feel free to ask. Ok I have to write an english paper now. Bye Bye.
