A/N

Okay, chapter 12 is here. I thought I would have more time to write during the summer but it looks like I was wrong, so my main goal TODAY is to finish this story, post the rest of the chapters and get working on the rest of my projects. I've got alot of work to do XD.Because of i'm finishing the story today, the chapter will probably be pretty short. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story, the way I see it there's 2 more chapters after this one.

Disclaimer- Ah, you guys know by now...

Chapter 12

His Arrival

(A/N This Chapter takes place 2 weeks after Byakuya's death and 3 days after Chapter 11)

Haruka's POV

They say death comes in many different ways...

It was pouring outside and the only thing I had to cover me was a black hoodie, it kept most of my head dry. I stood staring and the tombstone; Byakuya's. It's been 2 weeks and 3 days and right now at this moment it hit me that he was actually gone. I couldn't comprehend it until now. I wouldn't seen him anymore, maybe it's different because I just got to see him again, and just like that he was gone.

I stood with a blank expression, the water that was pouring down my face was the rain drops. I couldn't cry I needed to stay strong. I didn't move my body was motionless I stared at the tombstone with rain beating on me from above. Kakashi stood next to me. I couldn't even tell he was there until he spoke.

"Haruka...you're going to catch a cold" He said in a soft whisper.

I didn't move. He dropped the honorific; that surprised me. I didn't want to move, nor did I have the courage or strength. This was just something I needed to do. I needed to be with Byakuya. The death of Hisa was hard to recover from, Byakuya's death will take time too.

I then saw Kakashi move toward me. I think he wanted to give me some kind of comfort because he wrapped his arms around me in a hug. My body didn't respond, my arms stayed at my side. I rested my head on Kakashi's shoulder still looking at Byakuya's tombstone. Kakashi noticed that I didn't respond to his hug but I had the feeling that he felt that he needed to do something because he stayed where he was.

The rain fell harder and the thunder roared. I looked up to the sky it was dark. Kakashi finally let go of me and looked at me.

"We should go inside"

I stared back at him, I couldn't leave. Not yet.

I shook my head no.

I saw Kakashi's wet hair fall to the side of is face, I saw his mouth curve into a frown through his mask. I felt bad.

Kakashi nodded.

"Okay" He said standing next to me again.

Lightning struck down. I saw behind Byakuya's tombstone a dark figure. I couldn't see becuase of the storm's darkness; I thought I was just seeing things.

It walked towards us, he was right in front if me. It was Akira.

"Hello there cousin."

I didn't respond to him.

Akira raised a kunai in the air.

"Let's dance eh?"

Kakashi's POV

I saw Haruka nod, she wanted to fight. I was going to help in this. I wanted revenge. I was going to help Haruka kill Akira. Haruka will need a help. Her state of mind isn't the best. She's still shaken up from Byakuya's death. Her emotions are mixed up and I think she doesn't really care what happens; but maybe that's an advantage.

I saw Akira charge, he stabbed Haruka in the stomach with a kunai.

Time to move.
