I think I might have writing fever or something. I just can't stop the words. It could also be all the reviews I've been getting. They make me so happy I could burst, but instead of that I'll just give you the next chapter.
Point of No Return
Momiji's POV
For the last few days Kyra hasn't spoken a word. We finally got her to eat something, but that was it. She just sits on her bed all day not moving. Haru has been quiet to, but at least he speaks sometimes. Hatori and I have been keeping him away from Kyra as much as possible because when ever his name is mentioned in front of her she starts to cry.
It is heart breaking really; I don't know how much more I can take before I start to cry myself.
"Would you like something to eat Kyra?" I asked her softly. She shook her head slightly but other wise didn't move. "Alright, I have to go and do my homework now so Hatori will be in shortly." I started to leave but I stopped when I saw a commotion near the entrance. Hatori was talking to someone. Then I saw a head peek over Hatori's shoulder. It was Haru. Panicking I ran towards them.
"No Haru you mustn't go in there." Hatori tried to convince Haru. I planted myself in Haru's path so he could not go any farther without stepping on me after he got by Hatori.
"Move Momiji, I have to see her." His eyes looked so sad. His hair was messy and gross from lack of care, and his clothes were crumpled.
"Haru, it's better this way. You will only cause each other more pain." He shook his head and pushed me out of his path. Then he ran the rest of the way to Kyra's room.
Haru's POV
The door was ajar; all I had to do was walk through. Cautiously I stepped through the doorway. Kyra was sitting on her bed staring at the wall. She didn't even turn her head to see who had entered.
"Kyra?" I whispered. She didn't acknowledge that I had spoken. I hoped that it was that I had just spoken to softly but when I spoke louder and got the same result I began to panic. "Kyra, please look at me." I felt unshed tears form in my swollen eyes but I ignored them. Kyra's eyes shifted towards me slightly then followed her head. Now she was looking at me. There were tears in her eyes to, but those tears devastated me.
I know there should have been anger or malice in her eyes, but there was none. All that was there was sorrow and defeat. I lifted my hand to touch her cheek and she reacted suddenly. She jumped backwards on the bed so her back slapped against the wall smartly. I grimaced for her. Her lips began to tremble when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Haru? I think you should leave now." It was Hatori speaking quietly. He sounded sad for us. I never understood the pain that Hatori had felt when he had to erase Kana's memory, but I think the sorrow I was feeling now must be pretty close. Nodding in defeat I walked away dragging my feet, wishing with my very soul that Kyra would come after me. When the door clicked behind me and I was walking back to my house I felt truly empty.
There was a noise in front of me so I glanced up to see Rin coming out of Kagura's house. I felt no emotions towards her. Her eyes roamed over my dis-shelved body and I felt a layer of ice form over my bleeding broken heart.
"Oh Haru," she came towards me like she was going to hug me. I jumped out of her reach and felt frustrated pain come pouring out.
"Don't touch me Isuzu! You are the reason Kyra and I are like this. If you hadn't looked so helpless and sad that day I came home late from school none of this would have happened. Kyra would still be speaking, and we would still be together. Instead she has stopped speaking, is completely devastated, and won't let me go near her. I am such an idiot for ever loving you." With that I stomped off to my house and collapsed on my bed.
Kyra's POV
There might be conversations going on around me, about me, but I didn't care. The buzzing in my ears hasn't stopped since I awoke. There is always someone in the room with me to make sure I don't do anything bad to myself. It's not like I would commit suicide or anything. That guy Hatori seems to think I will. Who cares what he thinks, the only person who mattered is gone, nothing matters now.
The back round noise of my room died away as someone entered. I could always tell if someone left or not, and I have almost figured out which mumbling voice belonged to who. Shifting my eyes slightly I look at the person who entered. Rin. Why is she here? What does she want? Does she plan on taking something else away from me? She thanked Hatori and Momiji as they left. Then she sat in the chair next to my bed.
"You know I spent a lot of my child hood in that very bed. It seems like only yesterday when I was in it for the first time." She seemed nervous, but I didn't plan on helping the comfort level in the room. "I never realized how much love Hatsuharu had to give. He always seemed to have a never-ending supply when we were young. You know we were in love for most of our lives. Even though I'm two years older then him we have always understood each other." She shifted in her chair trying to find a better position, and I shifted on the bed so I could see her better.
The sun light glitter off her beautiful features. Her hair was shorter, a lot shorter, but other than that she looked the same as when I had seen her for the first time.
"Haru was the one to confess his love first. I was so surprised. I always assumed there was someone else out there more worthy of his love then I was and now I found her." Her voice wavered a bit, but she plowed through her thoughts. "I still love him, but he loves you now. Maybe he still loves me, but after watching him with you for the last few weeks I think you are better off with each other." I shook my head and motioned for a pencil and paper. On the paper I wrote:
Haru still loves you. I could never stand in between what you share.
Rin's eyes widened for a moment but then they sobered.
"No, I broke his heart more than once. I don't need another go to tell it will end the same way." Neither of us spoke/wrote anything after that. We just sat in silence. She left after that.
Kaibara High school (I can't remember the right spelling)
No POV
"Hello, my name is Jacob Hinamoto. I just moved here from Tokyo, may I please have my uniform and a schedule?"
"Certainly Mr. Hinamoto. I'll get those to you in a second." The receptionist replied and clicked a few buttons on her computer. "Wait, are you Liam Hinamoto's son? From Hinamoto corporation?" Her eyes bugged slightly from her head as she looked at the youth before her. He was about 6' with a lean build. His hair was black, but his eyes were a golden color. She could not believe that one of the richest teenagers in the world was transferring to this school.
"Yes, Liam Hinamoto is my father." Jacob replied feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Right, if there is anything you need at all Mr. Hinamoto just ask." He nodded and left the school. Once outside he climbed into a limousine and drove off.
Next Day
Sohma Estate
Kyra's POV
"May I go to school today?" I asked Hatori. He jumped from the sound. He had grown accustomed to not hearing me speak so he was slightly rattled.
"Are you feeling up to it?" I nodded yes and hopped down from the bed. "Maybe you should only go for a partial day, you still seem shaky on your feet." Since I hadn't moved very much in the past few days my legs were weak from non-use.
"All right," I stumbled off towards my room to dress for school. Everyone had left already so Hatori drove me to school late.
School
Haru, Momiji, Kyra, and Jacob's classroom
No POV
The door slide open hastily and Kyra entered. There was a group gasp. She had been out of school for so long she seemed to be like a legend to the people who didn't know her.
"Ah, welcome back Miss Titsugumi please take your seat. We have acquired a new student since you were away. That is Jacob Hinamoto." The teacher explained as Kyra walked towards her seat.
Haru hadn't taken his eyes off of Kyra but she avoided his gaze. She glanced at the new boy. He seemed so familiar…
"All right class, back to the lesson."
Lunch time
Kyra's POV
"Hello Momiji," I smiled at him politely but I did not feel particularly happy.
"So you started to talk again did you? That's great. How are you feeling today?"
"I feel alright I guess. I have had better days, and worse." I glanced at Haru and found him staring at me. To avoid a confrontation I sat alone at lunch hoping not to have to deal with him. The only empty seat was near the new boy, Jacob Hinamoto.
"Hi, is there anyone sitting here?" I asked softly. He looked at me with a golden gaze and yet again I felt that I knew him from somewhere.
"No, you can sit there." I nodded and sat. We did not really talk until the period was almost over.
"I'm sorry to be so forward, but I feel like I have met you before." I inquired. My curiosity got the better of me.
"I got the same feeling when you came in this morning." I smiled without realizing it. It was the first time in days when I had forgotten about Haru and Rin.
"Maybe our fathers know each other?"
"It's possible, but my father is very high up." He seemed regretful of the fact.
"Mine, I guess is sort of."
"What did you say your last name was again?"
"Titsugumi."
"I know I have heard that name before."
"Most people have, I always try to run from my name. People hear a name on the news then meet the real people and it's like 'oh can you do me a favor?' It is infuriating to have people I have never met before calling me by name because they have seen my picture. It's like my personality doesn't even matter. I could be a total snob and people would still put up with me because I have 'influence." I couldn't believe I had just gone off on a rant about my old life. I felt a blush stain my cheeks for the first time in a long time.
"I know exactly what you mean." He smiled at me. Maybe we can be friends. I thought to myself and smiled at him. Then my thoughts clicked back to my living predicament. Maybe I should move home again. That way there is less chance of me seeing Haru when I'm off guard. The bell rang calling us back to class and Jacob and I walked back to class together.
I made this chapter wicked long. I hope no one minds. Oh well, so is Jacob a rebound or just a friend? You will find out next time. Bye now.
