As usual Haru was up high in a tree, sleeping now. Well slacking is a more appropriate term, which is the case until Yasei took time to wake him up by hitting him on his head, "What's with the screaming and the hitting?" Yasei pointed towards the middle of the village at the coliseum, "Why should I care about the chunin exams? I'm not going to the academy until later. Go back to sleep." Haru went to hold Yasei in his arms again only for Yasei to have more of a fuss.

Haru sighed and put up a hand seal, "Let's see if this works then. Fairy clone technique." A chibi-clone appeared on the branch, but this one was different. It appeared without any clothes or extremities, and had two pairs of iridescent wings on its back that helped him flutter about, "Can you just run around with Yasei for a little bit?" he asked, "Just make sure he doesn't get in trouble." The fairy-clone nodded and gave a salute, "You only have but so much chakra, but you have a decent amount to use in case you need to use a jutsu. Nothing past C-rank."

The clone nodded and flew down to the ground while Yasei clambered to the ground. Haru tried to finish his nap, but he couldn't get back to rest. He stood and walked down the tree with his hands in his pockets. By time he started to walk on the ground he knew that he where he was going to go. First he would stop home, there was something he had to grab.

After a walk through the city he had made it to the Sarutobi complex. Each clan had their own district after all. Haru walked to his house, it was empty, he figured that they were on a mission. Without anyone to interact with he kept walking, passing his room and reaching the closet, which didn't look like a closet at all. Instead it was a shelf full of meticulously organized scrolls.

He looked around then grabbed a scroll with a nod before leaving hs house, but once he opened the door he walked into someone and feel over, "Ow…"

"Are you alright? I'm sorry," Haru recognized the voice immediately and looked up to see Unkei holding his hand out.

Haru frowned and ignored the hand while he stood up, "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Well I saw this guy right here wondering on his lonesome," he said before holding up a jar with Haru's fairy clone in it, "Yasei made a break for it."

Haru snatched the jar and released his fairy clone, "You have a bad habit of taking things that aren't yours," he said before snapping his fingers, "Yasei!" Suddenly a ball of golden fur fell from the sky and began to attack Unkei's head.

Who promptly began screaming, "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" Haru just watched as Yasei lived up to his namesake, "Haru, come on! I'm sorry!"

Haru snapped his fingers again and Yasei jumped to his shoulder. Haru looked at the clone, "What do you think? Apology accepted, or do you want to do something before you're dispelled?" The fairy flew up to Unkei's face and put up a handsign and suddenly Unkei was blown away by a gust of wind. The fairy clone disappeared in a puff of smoke with a smile, "Apology accepted."

Haru continued with what he was doing before Unkei had to…be Unkei, "Wait a second, Haru," Unkei stumbled up behind him.

Haru groaned, "What do you want? I'm seriously thinking about burning you."

"Don't be so cold, Haru. Are you headed for the Chunin exams?" he asked while fixing his matted and beaten hair.

"I'm not."

"Can I ask where you're going?"

"No," Haru walked on in silence and sighed, "Are you really going to follow me?"

Unkei smirked, "Well of course. If you won't tell me I guess I'll just have to go with you." Haru rolled his eyes and kept walking, ignoring Unkei's attempt at conversations. They made their way through the village and it wasn't too long before they came upon the Leaf Village Hospital, "Huh? What are we doing here?"

Haru turned to look at him, "Unkei, You'll need to leave now," he said before going into the hospital.

"Hey, hey! Wait for me!" he said as he rushed in behind him.

When he got inside he saw Haru talking to one of the nurses, "Any changes?" he asked.

"Nothing since the last time you were here," the nurse said sweetly, "Maybe you should go visit."

Haru nodded, "Same room right?"

"Of course."

"Thank you," Haru looked at Unkei and vanished before his eyes. As if he was never even there, since Yasei vanished as well. The look Unkei saw was a look of sadness

Unkei sighed at being left alone so suddenly, "Shunsin, huh? Konohamaru didn't lie when he said Haru was strong." The one thing that confused him most is why he would be here in the first place. Still, if there was one thing Yamanaka was good for, it was finding people. He closed his eyes and focused on the chakra around him…but he couldn't distinguish the chakra signatures.

"Can I help you?" a nurse came from behind him, "You seem lost."

He turned around and answered her, "I'm looking for Haru Sarutobi," Yamanaka were good for getting information too. It was all in their techniques.

The nurse tilted her head, "Sarutobi? Let me check the directory," Unkei followed the nurse to the nurse's station where she began to search on the computer, and where Unkei began to look at her mind. A few seconds later a name came up. Yuina Sarutobi, with Haru very associated with it. Also a number, 123. It must be the room number, "There isn't a Haru Sarutobi here, dear."

Unkei shook his head, "Alright then. Thank you," before long Unkei made his way to the designated room. Through the open door he saw Haru there, but there were things off. He couldn't hear Haru talk, and when he tried to walk into the room he was blocked by some sort of barrier. Not only that, but his outfit was also different. Usually Haru wore a simple outfit; a sleeveless black shirt with a pair of gloves stopped at his biceps, matching pants, and sandals. Now it was drastically different style; he wore a short-sleeved hoodie with bunny ears that went down to his thighs so that Unkei could barely see the shorts underneath while foregoing shoes completely.

Haru looked up and saw him at the door, but ignored him as he sat down next to Yuina, "Oh yeah, neesan, I forgot to tell you about this guy who's been bothering me. He's from the Yamanaka clan so I have to keep my guard up around him, but I think he's nice, or trying to be at least. He called me pretty, even after I beat him up. I think he doesn't know I'm a boy. Not many people do…" Haru suddenly choked on his words and rubbed at his eyes. As usual Yuina didn't respond to him at all. Her breathing was calm as her chest steadily rose and fell in tandem.

Haru still was too determined to give up, "Everyone is doing okay on this side. I told Grandpa that I would take his spot as God of Shinobi. Him and Uncle Asuma both laughed at me, so I challenged them. They wanted me to use the Burning Ash Jutsu. So I did it in a week, and I can walk on water and walk on walls and I'm learning tons of jutsu just like mom."

No response. In stark contrast to Yuina's steadiness Haru had tears streaming down his face and his breath had become heavy and erratic, "I know you hear me, Yuina," he said, "You're just having a bit of trouble showing it," he paused again and rubbed his eyes again, "Neesan, I'm wearing one of the outfits you made me. The bunny rabbit one, remember? It's still a little big, but…but…" Haru broke down and collapsed onto the bed as he cried, "Wake up, Yuina! Please, wake up! You should've just ran away, why did you come back for me?" Haru began shaking her gently at first then it built to the point where he was shaking the bed itself, but Haru stopped once the futility set in on him, "Please wake up, Yuina…I don't want to be alone."

Unkei had anaged to break the barrier long after he was able to break the jutsu muting the sound of Haru's anguish. Without thinking he walked into the room and sat next Haru, "Haru, what makes you think you're alone?" Haru snapped his head up and Unkei was captivated. Haru looked small, cute and scared, like a little animal needed to be protected. His big brown eyes were wet with the tears sparkling on his cheeks. Unkei didn't want to admit, but Haru was charming him and the assault earlier was endearing.

Unkei reached out to him and suddenly the look of endearment turned into divine fury, "I told you not to come!"
