Chapter 3: Ameliorate
He was running again. Cold rain pounded against his body. He held them close. All of this was too much…
"Leave them."
Haru shook his head. "I can't!"
"They don't care about you."
Harus lip trembled, holding back a sob. He didn't want to listen to his dark half.
"If you take them back, everyone will hate you."
How could something like this have happened. Yuki was suppose to hate Kyo. Wasn't that why Yuki came to him when Kyo had attacked him?
Just moments ago, he stood there, watching Yuki frantically called out Kyos name. He even took his jacket off to try and keep the cat dry.
As the cold rain soaked the rat, it wasn't hard to tell what would happen.
Yuki turned to look at Haru, his cheeks already a deep red. "Haru… please…"
He was having a hard time breathing. His asthma was in full effect from the chilly air.
And now he was running. It was like his dreams… his darker half kept close to him, urging him to think about how Yuki had lied to him…
But this time… this time, Haru didn't give in. He pushed his darker half away. "No!"

Yuki awoke inside a warm room… it was rather dark except for a small light that came from a partly opened door. He pushed the warm blanket off of his frail body and sat up. He was only in some boxers but it didn't bother him.
"Are you sure Hatori?"
"He'll be fine, calm down."
Yuki walked over to the door and peered out to see who it was talking to Hatori. His hands felt heavy as he pushed the door open further. "Hatori?"
He glanced around the room to find only Hatori standing there. The doctor gave him a small smile.
"It's good to see you're awake, but you shouldn't be out of bed yet." He said walking over to Yuki.
"Who was here just now?"
Hatori pushed him lightly towards the bed. "It was Haru, he's the one who carried you here after you collapsed from your asthma attack."
"Then-"
Hatori forced him to stop talking. "You can ask me whatever you want in the morning, for now, just rest."
