Haruka felt like he had just laid down to sleep again when he felt someone shaking him awake the following morning. He opened his eyes and turned his head to stare up at Kisumi's face.

"Rin said you won't wake up from the alarm," Kisumi explained in response to Haruka's questioning eyes. "It's time to get up. There is only half an hour until you have to be at the airport,"

Haruka said nothing. He just jumped out of bed and grabbed his clothes, getting dressed just as quickly as he could get undressed. He then headed to the kitchen and was about to get started on cooking when Rin entered along with Kisumi.

"Don't worry about that, Haru," Kisumi said. "Makoto left some food for us,"

Haruka opened the fridge and looked in to see four plates of the same breakfast. He looked at Kisumi to get a clue of why there were only four plates, and not five.

"Rei left at the same time as Makoto. I think he needed to be somewhere today," Kisumi answered. "I'm not going to wake Nagisa up for this, I figure he would much rather sleep in,"

Rin was about to protest, but stopped himself when Haruka nodded in agreement. Seeing as he and Nagisa had both been up late last night, it was probably for the better if he was left to just sleep in. He also wanted to spare the other some tears, knowing that he would start crying once Rin and Haruka had to leave.

So Kisumi, Rin and Haruka quickly swallowed their breakfast and then left their plates in the sink. Kisumi wrote a quick note to Nagisa while Rin and Haruka got their bags and pulled on their shoes. Then all three of them headed off to the airport.

Kisumi had promised to give Rin and Haruka a ride, seeing as it would take forever by train. What he hadn't expected was that there were a lot of people who needed to go somewhere during Golden Week, and therefore the streets were practically packed with cars. They were stuck in traffic most of the way to the airport.

Once they finally reached the airport, Kisumi parked just outside the building and only took the time to escort Rin and Haruka until they met their coach.

"Take care of yourselves and do your best," Kisumi said with a bright smile, just before parting ways with the other two.

"You too," Rin answered.

"Tell Nagisa we said goodbye," Haruka continued.

"Yeah, tell all of them goodbye for us," Rin said while grinning and waving.

"Will do," Kisumi smiled. "Have a safe trip while you're at it, and take some pictures if you get the chance,"

"We will," Rin promised while mentally complimenting himself for remembering the camera.

Kisumi stood and waved while Rin and Haruka turned and followed their coach through the check-in line for the international flight.

After finishing checking in and the security check, Rin and Haruka were left to themselves for a bit on a bench, until it was time for them to board. Their coach had gone somewhere else.

"Why did you specifically mentioned Nagisa?" Rin questioned while sending a questioning look at Haruka though the corner of his eye.

Haruka send Rin an irritated glare. "Don't pretend you didn't sense it too," he said. "I spoke to Nagisa last night," he said.

Rin nodded and turned to look at the people passing by. "So, what's with him? Did he want to talk, or did he just make up a story?"

"He talked," Haruka said. "But I think Rei should be the first to know of this,"

Rin couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. "Now I'm really getting curious. Won't you say it, Haru?" he asked.

Haruka shook his head.

Rin sighed. "You're so stubborn," he mumbled.

Haruka didn't comment on that. Rin had said that a lot, and anyone who spoke to him long enough, could tell that Rin was right on the statement. There was no point in denying it, and no point in commenting on it either.

Shortly after, their coach returned and their time to board was announced.

In the airplane, while watching as they left the ground, Haruka started getting another feeling. It was a bit similar to the unease he had felt lately, but it was mixed in with something else. It could be discomfort, but Haruka wasn't sure on that.

"Haru?" Rin asked from the seat next to him. Haruka turned his head to face the other. "You feel it too?" Rin asked.

Haruka nodded, somehow knowing that Rin also sensed the discomfort that was running through both their bodies at this very moment, as they were leaving Japan.

"What do you think it means?" Rin asked.

Haruka wished he would stop asking questions already. "I don't know," he said.

Rin sighed, sensing that Haruka really was getting tired of him, and turned on some music to keep himself from getting bored to death during the flight.

Haruka leaned against the window, preparing himself to fall asleep. The hours he had spent awake with Nagisa last night, were finally coming back to him now.

It wasn't true what he had told Rin. He had a clue of what the feeling of unease could mean. The thought had struck him at around the same time as the feeling had, and that was even more uncomfortable than the feeling itself. He hadn't wanted to tell Rin. That was why he answered as he did. If he told Rin, he would just get unnecessarily worried. Even he was feeling it as the thought continued to circle around in his head, always coming back no matter how many times he tried to throw it away, almost like a boomerang.

Nothing will be the same once we return.

With those words in mind, Haruka looked down to the ground one last time, before Japan disappeared behind the clouds.
