Baron's recovery went smoothly for the next three days. He, surprisingly, began to heal faster after coming home. The gash on his stomach finally closed and a faint scar was forming. The bite marks on his neck were still open but just barely. The doctor that worked for Lune visited earlier that day and told Baron he could turn back into a half-cat or human if he wanted to now. Baron took him up on the opportunity and transformed as soon as he got the okay. Once he turned into a half-cat then put the ring on and turned into a human, Haru ordered Baron to take off his shirt. She wanted to inspect his injuries while they were on flesh and not covered by fur. Baron was embarrassed about the whole ordeal, but he obliged to Haru's command anyway.

Haru's fingers skimmed across his stomach as she poked and prodded his bright pink scar. Baron's stomach muscles bunched and tightened at the contact. As soon as she finished inspecting his stomach wound, she went straight to his neck. The bandages surprisingly were still wrapped around his neck. Haru undid them and looked at the teeth marks. The blackish outlines were gone and the holes weren't as deep or wide. They shrunk. Haru's face beamed in happiness at the revelation. She deemed Baron worthy enough to have just a small piece of cotton cover the wounds now. The collar on his shirt would cover up the patches when the staff saw him again.

The staff was informed three days ago that Baron came home, but he was sick. Haru meet up with the Von Gikkingen doctor, Dr. Edgar who recently came back from vacation, and brought him up to date on what happened to Baron. Because Dr. Edgar knew Baron's secret, he made sure that nobody entered Baron's room except for Haru, Muta, and Toto. He just let the staff think that Baron was contagious in whatever sickness he supposedly had.

So now that Haru didn't need to take care of Baron anymore, and he was free to roam around again and do whatever it is he did, Haru no longer needed to stay in his room. She was dreading the day, but she knew it would come eventually. Tonight was the first night in three days that she would be alone. Even when she was confined to her bed, someone stayed in her room during the night. Haru was nervous and scared. She examined her room with wide eyes. She hurriedly got dressed into a nightgown and crawled under her covers. She took deep breaths to calm herself and fell asleep.

"Mother?" Haru called out as she wandered through her house.

"In here, Haru!" Naoko called out. Haru followed the voice. She entered the kitchen to see her mom standing by the stove cooking.

"Mother!" Haru called out in relief. Naoko chuckled.

"Why do you sound so relieved?" she asked as she focused her attention on the stew she was making.

"I thought I lost you. I thought you left me…like father" Haru said as she stepped forward. Naoko spun around to look at Haru. Her face was pale and sunken in like she was facing death. Haru gasped and stepped back. Her mom stepped forward. Her foot hit the floor and began to turn to dust. A strange draft blew through the room and carried Naoko's body away as it dissipated in the wind. "MOTHER!" Haru screamed as she reached forward. However, as Haru stepped forward, she fell and landed on the ground. She groaned in pain. Haru looked up from her space on the ground to see that she was in an infinite black void. "Hello?" she called out.

"Haru, how lovely to see you!" Baron's voice said. Haru turned around to see Baron standing behind her.

"Baron, I'm so glad to see you. I don't know what is going on, and I'm scared."

"Don't be, my dear" he said. Haru tried to step towards him to hug him, but no matter how many steps she took, Baron kept getting further and further away.

"No, wait!" she called out frantically. "Don't leave me like mother did!" Baron's shrinking figure just smiled. He kept getting further until Haru couldn't see him anymore. Haru fell to her knees and cried. Suddenly, she was falling and falling and falling. She screamed.

Haru bolted up from her spot on the bed screaming. "No! No! No!" she shouted. "Everyone I love always leaves!" Haru jumped off the bed and ran over to her vanity. She picked up the brush laying the desk and stared at it. She scrunched up her eyes as tears poured down her face. "Why?!" she yelled out before whipping the brush at the mirror. It shattered upon contact and glass flew everywhere. Haru walked over to the corner in the room where her boxes use to sit. Glass crunched under her bare feet. Haru ignored the pain. She sat down in the corner and drew her knees up to her chest. She slowly began rocking back and forth as she cried and screamed.

The door to Haru's bedroom flew open, and Baron stared at the broken mirror. His eyes trailed the path of blood until it led to Haru. He gasped and ran over to her. Baron gathered Haru up in his arms and held her. "Ssshh, calm down. Everything will be alright. You just had a nightmare" Baron whispered softly into Haru's ear. Haru latched onto Baron's night shirt and sobbed into his shoulder. Footsteps could be heard as Abigail, Dr. Edgar, Toto, Muta, two maids, a cook, and three servants came into the room.

"Oh dear, I was afraid this was going to happen" Abigail said as she raised a hand to her cheek. Baron looked up at her in confusion.

"What's going on?" he asked. All the staff members looked at Baron sadly.

"Well, you see…Chicky…she kind of freaked out when you didn't come home. She had a panic attack and started breaking everything in sight" Muta explained.

"We couldn't leave her in a room alone for one second without her crying and trying to destroy something, master" a maid added.

"We thought she was better since you came back, but now I'm not so sure" Toto said.

"Dr. Edgar and I have been speaking about this matter since you came back. I told him about how Haru's been acting, and we have come to a conclusion to what is wrong with her" Abigail said.

"Well, what is it?" Baron asked as he petted Haru's head. She was only sniffling now.

"We think she might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" Dr. Edgar concluded. "Before she started living here, Haru's mother passed away, causing her to live out on the streets. There is no doubt in my mind that she was treated badly. After you went missing, her mind probably couldn't handle the situation and get a hold of it. She must have snapped. Every time someone leaves, Haru is going to think something bad is going to follow. Her mind is mentally unstable. It can be pretty traumatizing to have two people you love taken from you in the course of less than a year."

"But will she be okay? Can she get better?" Baron asked as he held Haru closer. "She seemed fine for the past few days."

"I was most likely because you were with her and she could see you. She knew you were alright and that you didn't disappear. It was also probably from her busying herself with taking care of you" Dr. Edgar said. "She should be fine shortly, but it will take years for her to get better if ever."

"What should I do?"

"I suggest you move into the same room. You'll be getting married soon anyway, so it shouldn't matter. Hopefully staying in the same room as you at night will prevent these late night attacks. It seemed to work before, so it should work now" Abigail said. Baron blushed.

"It's so improper" Baron said in embarrassment.

"Don't be so modest. You've stayed in the same room plenty of times. Moving into the same room would have happened eventually. Besides, it shouldn't be awkward or anything" Toto said.

W-W-What?!" Baron stuttered. "I-I don't know w-what you're talking a-a-about!"

"You and Haru can't fool us" Toto said. "But if it bothers you so much, we can move a separate bed into your room if you want." Baron blushed and glanced down at the shaking brunette in his arms. He sighed.

"No, it's fine. I would like all of Haru's belongings taken to my room…now. You can move her wardrobe and dresser in there too. Dr. Edgar and Abigail, please attend to Haru's feet. I think she stepped on some glass" Baron said as he gently lifted Haru up in his arms. Haru curled up further to make herself seem smaller. Baron left the room and followed Dr. Edgar to his large examination/treatment room. The maids and servants scrambled to get everything rearranged by the time the couple came back.

Once they were in the medical room, Baron set Haru down on a small bed. She sat on the edge and looked around the room with a confused and scared expression. Baron sat down on a chair in the corner. Haru's fist crumpled the sheets. Her eyes grew wide when Abigail turned the lights on. Haru jumped and hopped off the bed. She ran over to Baron and wrapped her arms around him. Baron cringed when he saw the smeared blood, from Haru's feet, on the tiled floor. "Haru, you're okay. I'm not going anywhere. Please let the doctor look at your feet. I'll sit beside you" Baron said in console. His heart broke at the thought of Haru becoming mentally unstable because of him. It was his entire fault. Baron picked Haru up again and set her on the bed. He sat beside her and held her hand. He raised it to his lips and kissed it tenderly. A pretty blush appeared on Haru's tear stained face.

Dr. Edgar went over to Haru and kneeled down in front of her. He grasped one of Haru's feet in his hands and lifted it up to examine the damage. "Abigail, bring over some tweezers and a small empty basin. Oh, and a wet rag, a basin full of water, and some bandages too" Dr. Edgar instructed. Abigail nodded and hurriedly gathered up the supplies. She carried them over to Dr. Edgar with expertise as she balanced each item in her hands. Dr. Edgar went for the tweezers first. He began picking at Haru's feet with them and pulling out small shards of the mirror glass. He discarded each shard into the empty basin. After he finished getting all the glass out, he scrubbed Haru's feet clean from blood. The bandages were applied once the cuts were treated.

"Could you carry her back to your room, Baron? I don't want her walking on her feet for a day or two" Dr. Edgar stated. Baron nodded and picked his fiancée up. Haru's arms wrapped around Baron's neck, and her head leaned against his shoulder. They were silent the whole way back to the room. Thankfully, the servants and maids were speedy in their rearranging of the rooms. Baron's room now had his king sized bed, his desk, two wardrobes that were beside each other, a dresser on each wall so that they were opposite of each other, and that was it. Baron didn't mind the arrangement of the room, but he made a mental note to himself to get rid of Haru's furniture and replace it with something less gaudy looking. He knew she didn't like the furniture anyway.

Baron took one last look at the room and carried Haru to the bed. He set her down and pulled the covers up to her chin. Baron hesitantly got in the bed from the other side and slid in beside Haru. After what seemed like an eternity of dead silence, Haru spoke.

"I'm sorry" she said with fresh tears in her eyes. Baron's eyes widened. He urgently pulled Haru against him to try to calm her down.

"It's not your fault. I promise that I'm not upset" Baron said soothingly.

"No, it is my fault. Ever since my father died, I haven't been the same."

"Whatever do you mean, my dear?"

"When I was little, I used to always go out into the city with father. It was a different city than this one. Anyway, mother wasn't with us at the time because she was going to go try and sell some quilts. While father and I were wondering the streets, this nobleman accused father of stealing his gold pocket watch. He was lying just to get father in trouble. We've had my family's pocket watch for at least one hundred years! So this man accused father of stealing and these officers dragged him away. I ran around the city trying to find mother, and when I found her and told her what happened, there was nothing we could do. A month passed and there was no sign of him. It wasn't until a little while later that I found his dead body in an alley. Those men took him away and left him to die" Haru cried as she gripped Baron's night shirt. The fabric was being soaked, but Baron didn't care. "Ever since that day, I have never taken stressful situations well, especially when people leave me or go missing" Baron rubbed Haru's back.

"It's okay. I will help you through the rough times. I promise I won't ever leave you again" Baron said as he wrapped his arms around Haru's body. Haru sniffled and buried her face in the crook of Baron's neck.

"Please don't."

"Never" Baron said as he sealed his promised with a kiss to the top of Haru's head.

A/N: I'm sorry for what I did to Haru. It may seem OOC of her but I felt like she needed to have something wrong with her. Not all stories can have happy endings or be perfect. Please tell me what you think! And for the record, I don't care if you don't like her having problems. Most of my stories have people having depression, paranoia, and mental problems if you didn't notice. So this shouldn't come as a surprise.
