Prologue…

Haru stood in the rain letting it wash all over him. The rain mixed with his tears as silent sobs shook his body. It wasn't fair. He wasn't supposed to die, not like that, not yet. It wasn't his time. They had only just found each other…

He fell to the ground letting the body wracking sobs take over. The rain saturated ground soaked the knees on his pants and his fingers curled around the wet grass. By now Haru was completely soaked. Rain water dripped off of his white and black hair, but he didn't care. He didn't care that his throat was being ripped apart of his violent crying. He didn't care that Akito was watching him from the window of Shigure's house. All that he cared about was that Kyo was gone.

He squinted his eyes shut as memories flooded his mind. More sobs emitted as memories of when they held hands, when they kissed, when Kyo finally admitted that he loved someone. He had loved Haru. And Haru had loved him, more than anything. Before, he had only had eyes for Yuki, but after constant rejection and seeing more and more of Kyo, not Kyo the cat but Kyo the boy, he had fallen out of love for Yuki and in love with Kyo. Yuki would always be special to him. But Kyo…he was all Haru needed to be happy.

Now, he was gone. Shigure had called the main house; his strained voice had broken the news. Kyo had been walking home in the rain when a car had hit him. Kyo had been in his mood, the rain always did that to him. He had been out of it, wandering in a daze-like state. The car didn't see him walking in his dark clothes in the night. The road was wet, and the rest…

Kyo ended up in the hospital not breathing, no heart beat…no nothing. According to the doctors, and Hatori, he had died quick and painlessly. The way the car had hit him and the speed, there hadn't been any hope for Kyo. Haru had been stunned when Akito had told him, laughter in his voice, Haru never hated Akito more than he did right then.

It wasn't fair, Kyo had only been eighteen, he was too young to die. Haru had only had him for…not even a full year. Kyo had been what kept Black Haru away and now that he was gone. Haru's body shook as Black Haru broke through, and this time, Haru didn't think he'd ever leave.
