"P-pervert!"

The little girl kicked Hibari as she stood up. Hibari was chasing her again, for the sole reason that she spilled juice on his shirt. The chase was fine as usual, but she tripped and caused her skirt to be lifted up, revealing her pumpkin undergarments. Hibari saw of course, but they looked like shorts, and besides, he doesn't care.

"Herbivore, do you really want to die?" The girl was still blushing madly, but stepped back to run as soon as the boy in front of her started giving him a death glare. "I-it was your fault! I was only giving you juice since yesterday was-"

He wasn't listening, instead, he interrupted her and chased her again. The girl knew better and dashed off, not looking back and focused on saving her life. That boy is too dangerous!

The two weren't paying attention as they found their way outside their school's premises. In fact, they found their way into the streets and towards the woods.

"Stop chasing me!"

Her voice echoed in the woods, still running for her dear life. It it weren't for the sugar she had earlier, she would have been too tired to even speak.

"Hibari-san?"

Haru Miura shook the prefect's shoulder and tried to wake him up. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, a bit sore for being disturbed. He was used to it, as much as he disliked it. "What?"

The brunette sighed and sat beside him, placing her hand on his forehead. "Are you ok desu? You were murmuring something in your sleep!"

That dream..and that girl again.

He shrugged off his thoughts and sat up properly. "It was nothing. Don't ask."

Nagging him was a bad idea, so Haru did as he said and ignored it. Reaching for her bag, she looked for a familiar garment; one that did not belong to her."Haru had to wash this before returning it, thank you for lending it to me!" She smiled warmly at him as he handed the prefect's jacket to its owner. Hibari raised a brow but received it nonetheless, placing it on his own bag.

"Answer me, Miura Haru."

"Hahi?"

"Are you familiar wit-"

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

Before he could continue, a shriek was heard outside, it was Sawada Tsunayoushi. Ryohei Sasagawa was chasing him as he screamed 'Why did you hug my sister, Sawada!', Tsuna on the other hand was constantly shrieking as he explained that he tripped.

"Herbivored." Annoyed, Hibari stood up, grabbing his tonfas, and stormed off to bite the herbivores to death. Typical Hibari.

Haru was left wondering though, What was he going to ask?

She shrugged the question of her mind, and went back to her class. She had no business here anyway; she only came to return the jacket. And maybe, just maybe, to get a glimpse of the prefect.

"W-w-waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The girl shrieked as they fully stopped running. They were somewhere in the woods, both clueless on where they were. As soon as they realized their current situation, both grew warry, the other panicking too much.

"Shut up, we can go back if we turned around."

The girl was too frightened; afraid of getting left behind, she grabbed Hibari by the hand and followed him as he walked. Too preoccupied on finding their way back, he ignored her and allowed it.

After minutes that seemed like hours for the two, they were still lost. Both tired from running and venturing in who knows where. Just when all hope was lost, a familiar creature scratched Hibari's shoes; it was a cat.

The cat purred as long as it got their attention, and started heading towards east. The two followed of course, as if they even have an option. The cat led them to what seemed like the middle of the forest, to an open space. It wasn't as creepy as the place where they once were, it felt homely even. The light was slightly covered by the tall trees, some parts of the sunlight beaming in small circles. As the cat urged them to moved forward, they noticed a giant tree in the middle; a Sakura tree.

Unconsciously, they moved towards it, drawn by the beauty of the petals that danced in the air, and the tree that looked as if it was welcoming them. The cat ran away from them as they approached the tree. Both tired, they rested underneath the tree, the girl placing her head on his shoulder; hesitantly, Hibari rested his head on hers. Might as well sleep comfortably.

"Excuse…me."

The soft voice awakened Hibari, who was resting on the rooftop. As he looked up, he was a bit shocked to see someone he did not expect. "You again, what do you want?" It was Chrome Dokuro.

"My partner left me…I was wondering if I could stay here?" She looked harmless, so he nodded and started staring at the sky. As long as she wouldn't speak, it was fine.

"Cloud man…?" Tch.

"Stop calling me that." He barked at her; pissed at the nickname. "What should…I call you then?" She replied innocently as she sat on the ground, distancing herself from the prefect.

"What about…Kuro-chan?" She giggled at her own words, pointing at Hibari's hair as she stopped. "Your hair..it has the color of a raven… It's nice."

A bit alarmed, he stood up, glaring at the clueless girl. "No. Don't call me that." Only one person has ever called him that, a person that was only existed in his memory. At least that's what he thought. "No one but her can call me that."

Before she could respond, he stood up and left the rooftop, leaving a confused illusionist thinking about what happened.

If only he could remember; remember what she looked like. A faint description, the color of her hair, her eyes, her name!

The last part was impossible though, for they never told each other their names, despite the strange proximity that they shared. One that he wouldn't mind having again.

"Kuro-chan… I'm sorry!"

She said, bowing down as low as she could. "Oka-san…Oka-san said we need to move, and I don't know when we'll return." Shaking, she handed out a small piece of paper to him. Stepping back as her mother arrived. "I need to go home now, please read it!" She ran away as Hibari stood still, staring at the figure of the girl as she slowly disappeared.

Glancing at the piece of paper, he saw a drawing; a sakura tree. After reading the contents written on it, he quickly threw it away and headed back home as well. Thinking furiously on his next action. She was leaving tomorrow, and she wanted to say good bye properly before she left, at "that" place.

Their private sanctuary that they found on that strange day, where they got lost.

The following day, he arrived earlier than the expected time, leaning casually at the tree.

Hours have passed, but no one came. He sighed as he took one last look at the tree, and the engravings written on it. She's not coming, and she's already gone.

A short update. I completely forgot about what happened next after the last chapter, so I'm speeding things up. Hopefully, I can finish this since I'm currently working on a Hetalia fan fic. And strangely enough, I lost all motivation to continue this more than a month ago. But when I checked my email, I found new reviews, and I'm really happy that people take time to read this. And I'm kinda in the mood to update at least.

Reading back, I realized all my typos and grammatical errors, I'm sorry, I don't proof read. Hopefully you guys still understand and you don't mind.

If things seems fast, I'm sorry. When I started this fic, I was really into it, and the whole plot was in my head! But months have already passed and I seriously don't know how to continue this anymore. But I can vaguely remember the ending, and of course, the mystery girl! Continue guessing, who knows, maybe it's not Haru or Chrome :P

I will do my best to finish this, please be patient with me :)
