Chapter 8

I stayed in the hospital for many weeks, the doctors ran tests, gave me shots of medication, and made sure I was okay. And even though they did all of this to me, Haru was always in my room even when visiting hours were over…Maybe he threatened them? I don't know, but I was grateful for every second I had with Haru.

"Rin, I love you," He would whisper to me very often.

It was as if he was trying to make up for not saying it enough when we were broken up. I never wanted to break up with him, I never wanted to leave him for that matter, I love him and that's all there is to it. Most of the time in between all the doctors, nurses, visitors and daily meals (they brought one for Haru too…) Haru would hold me, talk to me and read to me.

The thought of never being able to have a child of my own was enough to drive me to tears. I wanted to give Haru a child to hold and know that the child is our own. The child would have been a symbol of our undying love. A symbol of all the troubles we had to go through to have her or him. I would never be like my parents…never, I would cherish my child the way Haru cherished me. Maybe…things will never work out for me?

"You say 'never' too much Rin," Haru stated in the middle of my thoughts holding a can of soda in one hand and a piece of chocolate in the other.

"Huh? What makes you say that?" I was puzzled by his words. How did he know I was saying 'never' a lot in my thoughts? "Are you some kind of mind reader? How did you know what I was thinking?" I finished watching him sit in the chairs I despised so much.

"It doesn't take a psychic to listen to what you say," Haru chuckled lightly referring to the fact that what I was thinking wasn't in fact staying in my mind.

Haru reached up and cupped my face in his hand gently. His lips found their way to my forehead and he smiled at me.

"Having a child isn't proof of anything, we can adopt. Just because you can't have a child doesn't mean I'm going to abandon you. You are the one I love," he said handing me the chocolate and soda.

I smiled to him and then looked at the 'meal' he brought to me.

"How nutritious," a few shards of ice stabbed my words.

I honestly didn't mean to be cold, it just came out. Haru didn't seem to mind, he must be used to it, or he knew that I didn't mean it so thought nothing of it?

"I know."

"Sohma, Isuzu, You can go home now. The doctor has decided that you are stable enough to be out of here," a stout nurse said to me before handing me a lolly pop and walking out of the room.

I stared at the lolly pop with confusion…How old do they think I am? I wondered turning the lolly pop this way and that way. Being in the hospital this time wasn't so bad. I had Haru, he made me happy.

Although, he couldn't lessen the nightmares, he did help me through the night. There were many nights I woke up crying, or in a cold sweat because of them. No matter what the circumstance was, he was there. A few nights I woke up and then threw up all of my food and all he did was take the sheets off and go get clean ones. He also brought me my tooth brush; he knew I hated not having clean teeth.

I love him…never again will I allow myself to lose him.

I looked over at Haru who had my suitcase packed and was placing it by the door.

"Haru," I mewed stretching my arms out like a small child.

"Yes Rin?" he answered walking over to me and hugging me.

"Nevermind..." I replied hugging him back.

A few months later I was able to do everything normal again. I could run, swim, I could even have sex without fear of being pregnant. I guess life is the way it should be right? I was lying on the couch next to Haru.

"Haru, why hasn't Akito come back to break us up again?" I asked stroking his hair.

"That's a story for another time," He replied kissing my lips lightly.

"No, I want to know what happened," I demanded pulling away from him.

"It's not important. What's important is what's going on right now."

"You can't trick me with pretty words. Tell me!"

"No! It's not important!"

We were fighting, something that didn't happen very often. However when it did, things got bad.

"Tell me right now!!!" I yelled standing up.

"No! It's not your concern!" He yelled standing also and facing me.

"Yes it is!!!"

"You're just nosey! Stay out of that!"

My fingers formed into a fist, "What the fuck is your problem?!?"

"My problem?!? You're the one who can't leave the past alone!"

"Oh, So now it's my fault?!?"

"I didn't mean that…"

"Then what did you mean?!?"

"Forget it! You're just going to get mad at me!"

"News flash Hatsuharu! I'm already mad at you! Might as wall just put more fuel in the fire!" I yelled throwing my arms out as if to say to the world that I was mad at him.

"Forget it Isuzu! You just overreact!" Haru stated running his fingers through his soft two tone hair.

I was taken back by his comment, my face flushed red, "Fine then!" I then stomped out of the room. I walked into my room and slammed the door.

Technically it was both of our room, since we were living together and everything, but for now it was solely my room. I heard a faint knock at the door. Then Haru's face appeared.

"I'm sorry Rin, I didn't mean any of that," he apologized standing in the door way shyly.

"Well…it's okay," I admitted swallowing my pride in gulp. "Are you going to tell me how you got Akito off our backs?"

Haru's face tensed a little but he stepped to me, "Yes…I threatened him…grabbed him by the kimono…beat up his wall for a bit."

"Why didn't you want to tell me?" I asked curious as to what he might respond with.

To me that was stupid to not tell me…but that's just what I thought. Haru sat down next to me on our bed and looked into my eyes. My whole body seemed to turn to jello as he took me in his arms. The strong arms of the ox had enclosed my waist and cradled my head as he tilted my body backwards onto soft sheets below us.

"I love you Rin," Haru said avoiding the question.

At that moment it didn't matter at all. I just softly stroked each bang of his white hair and started dreamily into his bottomless grey eyes.

"I love you too Haru," I answered his need for love and then raised my body to meet his.

He sat me down gently and straddled my waist. Haru laced my neck with kisses and soft loving bites leaving a dainty chocker of teeth marks and hickies. I only held him close and whispered in his ear.

Life is perfect…

Or so I thought…

Ding Dong, Ding Dong! The door screamed while Haru was lovingly undoing the fastenings on my shirt. He growled and threw his shirt back on as the doorbell continued to call for our attention. I thought Haru might have ripped the door off of its hinges when a postman was standing on our doorstep with a small envelope

"Package for Isuzu Sohma!" he almost sang.

"Thanks…" Haru snarled at the sing-song postman.

"Have a fantastic day Mr.!" looks like some one around here was getting laid and it wasn't me nor was it Haru.

"Who's it from?" I asked fastening up my shirt.

"…Akito…" Haru breathed.

I tore through the room to get to Haru whose arms and hands were shaking violently from either shock or fear I don't which.

I stole the package from him and ripped the paper off of it.

Hello Horsey!

"What the fuck?" I whispered at the greeting to the letter in the package.

I, Akito, am inviting you and the ox to the main house tomorrow at noon. We are going to have a talk about your futures. I expect to see you there. I have some exciting news for the both of you!

Akito

"You know she's being sarcastic right?" Haru informed me.

She?

"She? Akito's a man…" I stared at Haru quizzically.

"Oh fuck…"
