Haru closed his eyes and scratched his bandaged head. The door slowly opened. Rin stepped inside.
"Hello Haru..." said Rin closing the door.
Haru opened his eyes and looked at Rin.
"Rin?" said Haru rubbing his eyes.
Rin ran to Haru's side. She ran her fingers gingerly through his soft white hair.
"Did you really mean what you said? (See volume 8) About not needing me?" asked Haru.
"I...I do need you." said Rin, " I got scared... But, I'm not now. Haru...I love you." she kissed Haru on the lips.
Haru stared at her blankly. It was the same blank stare that he gave her years ago. (See volume 14) She smiled and kissed him again.
"So how is it?" asked Rin sitting next to Haru lying on his bed, "The blood poisoning..."
"Not too bad." said Haru, "I won't die from it."
"If you died from it Haru..." said Rin getting tears in her eyes, "I would kill myself so I could be with you.." She ran her fingers over his bandaged forehead. "I'm sorry for doing this to you."
"It's not your fault." said Haru brushing his against Rin's cheek, "Do you want to go out again? Well... once I get out of here?"
Rin's eye's lit up "Yes!"
"I would like to take you out dancing." said Haru.
She smiled and ran her fingers again through Haru's. She kissed him.
"Hey! Don't do that! He's sick!" cried a nurse coming in with Haru's lunch.
Their faces turned bright red.
"I'll come back tomorrow." said Rin getting up, "Bye."
"Bye" said Haru. He smiled softly as he watched her leave, "We're back together..."
