Hatori's car can to a slow halt. Rain beat against his windshield. He looked out his right side window and sigh. He turned the key to take it out of the ignition and laid the keys on his dash board. He grabbed the handle of his door and slowly opened it.

He got out and slammed the door shut. He looked up the walk way to the large shrine and whispered, "Sarah…" He walked around his car and started up the walk way. As he reached the entrance of the shrine he heard slow sad breathing.

A cold gush of wind and rain hit Hatori's back but he did not move. Sarah was sitting on the floor with her face barred in her knees she had pulled up to her chest. She was sobbing quietly. Hatori couldn't move almost like a force was holding he there.

Sarah was wearing the most ridicules thing but Hatori didn't care. He took a long deep breath and then started to walk into the shrine. The sound of his foot steps echoed with every step.

Sarah stopped crying quickly when she heard footsteps. She looked up to see Hatori near her. She stood up and wiped her eyes. She tried to stay clam and say something but it came out all shaky, "W-what do you want? Can't y-you see I j-just want to be alone?"

She looked into Hatori's eyes. She couldn't stand it. He hated her. He really did. After all this she should have been the one to hate him not the other way around. Tears started to form in her eyes again. Her knees started to buckle but she didn't fall. Two arms wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her close. He was so warm even though his close were wet.

Sarah leaned her head against Hatori's shoulder and whispered, "S-sorry." She started to cry into his shoulder. Hatori just stood there holding her close while she sobbed onto his shoulder. It was minutes before he knew what to say to his younger sister, "Sarah…Please don't run away again. Shigure and the others are worried about you….I'm worried about you. I…I need you…"

Minutes they were driving back to Shigure's house. All was quiet. Sarah stared out the window as rain splashed against it. She was a lot calmer now. She sighed quietly and asked Hatori with out even looking at him, "Hatori….does Akito know…I ran away tonight?"

Hatori looked over at his sister and said, "…No, he doesn't know yet. And I don't think he needs to know."

She turned to him and took out the picture she had received in the envelope earlier that night. "Here. I'm guessing this was yours…" She stretched out her hand that was holding the photograph, "I kinda smashed it or what ever..." She looked down at the crumpled picture and sighed.

"It's alright. If you want to keep it you can…" She looked up at him. Even through the darkness of the car, she could see him smiling. A tinny smile, but it was a smile.

Before Sarah slide open the front door of Shigure's house she looked back at Hatori who was seated in the drivers seat watching her enter the house. She gave a tinny smile hardly noticeable and turned back to the door.

The rain had stopped minutes earlier but she was still socked. She grabbed the handle of the door and slide it open. She slipped off her shoes and walked toward the living room where they ate. She popped her head inside and smiled. Every one was all over the place. Tohru was laying on the floor, asleep not dead, Sarah hoped. Kyo was leaning against the wall asleep while Yuki was sleeping with his arms and head resting on the table. Surprisingly, Haru was there and he was sleeping with his head rested in his hand.

"They were worried about you. All of them. Apparently, Haru over heard my phone call with Hatori and walked all the way here. So, your back." Shigure said with a smile. He was leaning against the wall of the hallway Sarah was standing in.

"Oh Shigure, were you worried about me too? Did you stay awake all this time just to make sure I came back?" Sarah said with a smirk.

"On the contrary, I was asleep in my office and I heard a car pull up to the house and guessed you were back."

"I see. Well, Shigure I'm going to sleep in my room. Have a good night." Sarah turned on her heels and walked off.
