All Things Together

Chapter 8: Wish You Were Here

Wolfie-chan: Sorry it took so long for the update. Updates are going to be slower now that school has started. If you want updates to be faster, reviews help! Also, this chappie is kind of sad, but it's the setup for the big bang! (I was listening to Wish you Were Here by Avril Lavigne…it fits the chappie.)

Fox-chan:….You suck.

Wolfie-chan: Why?

Fox-chan: Because I have been stuck with your muse in your head with absolutely nothing to do! Do you have any idea how boring that is!?

Wolfie-chan: …..oops? On with the story! (Flees angry Fox-chan)

Oo0oO

It'd been several days since Akito had come and gotten them from the Seireitei, and Haru found himself missing it. Missing the Seireitei, missing all his new friends, even missing that asshole Grimmjow. Okay, maybe not missing Grimmjow, but he would have taken Grimmjow over Akito any day. Above all that, however, he found himself missing Kazuma, which was stupid. He barely knew the girl! And yet here he was, missing her. It was stupid. He was stupid. And he told himself that, over and over. Akito thinks he's stupid- therefore, he is stupid. Stupid.

Kureno sighed. He finally had time to himself. Between Rin and Akito, that was a rare thing for him. And whenever he did have some time, he found his thoughts wander to her. To Arisa. He missed her, and wondered what she was doing. If she was enjoying her time in the Seireitei. If she and the others were okay. If they were going to come back…

Over these past few days, Yuki had realized something. Something he should have realized a while ago. And that was simply that he loved Machi Kuragi. Unfortunately, unlike Kureno, he still had the curse. So things would be complicated. But none of that mattered anyway, since he was here and she was in the Seireitei with Miss Honda. He missed them both- he missed everyone. But Machi most of all.

"I'm worried about Yuki." Ayame confided to Shigure. They were both sitting I Hatori's room, waiting for him to return. It had become a nightly habit. Immediately after dinner, Akito always wanted to see Hatori. So Ayame and Shigure would wait in Hatori's room until he returned, then clean up the blood and such.

"Why?"

"The only time he comes out of his room is for meals." Ayame fidgeted.

"Like Haru and Kureno. I think they are missing their friends. The only time anyone ever sees Haru is if you catch him as he's following Akito to the cat's room." Shigure frowned. "It can't be good for them."

"No, it can't." The conversation ended as the door open and Hatori pulled himself in.

Wolfie-chan: I know it's short, but it's the setup chappie. And if you want the big bang chappie, you need to review!
