The letter from Uncle...
After a few days, Haruka watched Kyo and Sakura become mindless zombies. Yeah, she knew it was because of her death, but Haruka didn't feel sorry for Mitski at all, she was the one that betrayed after all. So, Yuki and Haruka had to step up to the plate, doing chores and such, for Haruka, she didn't mind. It was trying to give the cat his food.
"Kyo?" Haruka asked, knocking softly on the door.
"Go away!" She heard Kyo murmur.
"No way!" She opened the door to find the room dark, he was laying on his bed, his back towards her. She looked at the other trays she had left, not a bite was missing. "Kyo, you need to eat something" Haruka put the tray on his desk and pulled back his curtains.
"What's the point?" He asked her, still not looking at her.
"Why do you say that?" Haruka asked.
"I don't have to tell you anything" He said.
"Kyo..." Haruka walked over to him and gently put a hand on his left shoulder, the one that he wasn't laying on.
"Get out..." He almost whispered, but Haruka just pulled his desk chair over.
"I'm not going anywhere, not until you eat something off this tray" Haruka held out the newest tray she brought.
"WHY THE HECK WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" Haruka didn't have to look at his face to know he was crying.
Haruka left the room.
I should call Tohru, maybe she'll make him happier... Since it was Saturday, she surely would be able to help. Haruka walked to Shigure's office, that's where the phone was, Yuki had gotten Sakura out of the room, they were going shopping. As soon as she dialed Tohru's new number, she felt something tugging at her from the inside. She fell on her knees, but managed to get her voice steady when Tohru's voice came on the line.
After she had agreed to come over, Haruka fell to her knees, her sides and stomach felt like they were on fire.
What the heck is going on? She started to cough, blood trickling down the side of her mouth. You didn't forget me.. Did you? Haruka listened to the voice in her head, she thought he was dead.
Shigure was gone, she had to get to Kyo...
Kyo walked downstairs, he was still depressed, but he couldn't let this get in the way of trying to beat Yuki. When he saw Shigure's door open, he thought someone had broken in, he slowly walked over to it. But all he saw was a girl hunched over in pain.
He ran over to her, he didn't want to lose Haruka as well, even though it sounded weird, he couldn't deal with another loss.
"Ky...o" She fainted and hit his chest with her head.
Kyo didn't know what to do, he carried her to her room and tucked her into bed.
"We're home!" Kyo ran to meet them.
"Kyo, what's wrong?" Sakura gave the bags to Yuki.
"Haruka, she's passsed out... I don't know why!" He breathed.
"take me to her!" She told him.
Sakura looked at her sister, something seemed to be crawling under her skin, Sakura had seen this before.
She looked at Kyo, who looked scared.
"Can you flip her on her stomach?" She asked Kyo. But he didn't move.
"Did one of you guys invite Toh-" Sakura loked at the boy and girl in the doorway, they stood there frozen. "I need all thee of you, please!" All three of them ran over, Kyo had finally snapped out of his trance.
"Yuki, grab her legs, Kyo grab her arms, hold her down, Tohru, go get me a bowl of hot water and a bowl of cold milk!" Tohru nodded and ran out of the room. Sakura pulled up Haruka's shirt and put her hands to Haruka's back where the mark was, two white bubbles formed around her hands as she moved the her hands around her back, causing whatever it was to sizzle.
But it hurt Haruka, she started to scream in pain, in her sleep, and tried to get out of Yuki's and Kyo's grip.
"Just a little longer" she told them. "We have to wait until she is totally calm..." Suddenly, everything stopped, Haruka calmed, she was still asleep. Kyo and Yuki slowly move their hands away.
Tohru came back in and gave Sakura the two bowls. She poured both of them onto her mark, which made it disappear.
Haruka opened her eys, and she sat on her knees. "What happened?" She asked.
"Haruka, your blood..." Sakura grabbed her sister's arm.
"I'm fine, you should know that that happens"
"I do... But Haruka, I'm still worried... Its getting worse..." Sakura looked at her sister.
"No it's not, it only seems like that to you Sakura because you are seeing it from the outside... On the inside, it does the same thing as it always does...
Haruka looked at Kyo's wide-eyed expression.
"Kyo, I'm fine, I know it was scary but..." She trailed off.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He spoke softly. "why didn't you tell me that was going to happen..." Sakura smiled.
"Yuki, Tohru, why don't we get out of here and give them some privacy?" Sakura stood and walked to the door, the other two followed.
As Sakura put away groceries, Tohru and Yuki were catching up in the next room. Sakura didn't know why, but this made her feel jealous.
Yuki is getting so close to Tohru... Does he perhaps, like her?
Sakura clenched a dish in her hands so hard that it broke, causing her to scrape her hands.
"Saku!" Haruka came into the room and looked at her sister's hands. "What happened?"
But Sakura stayed quiet as her sister wrapped her hands in gauze.
"Nevermind... Huh?" There was a pause in Haruka's voice. "You like Yuki?" Haruka whispered.
"What, no!" Sakura blushed as she put another plate in the soapy water.
"You do like him!" Haruka giggled.
"Whatever..." Sakura rolled her eyes.
On Monday, Haruka was talking to the two friends in her class, Momiji and HatsuHaru... which she called Hatsu. They were getting ready for the Halloween festival.
"What are you guys going to be for Halloween?" Momiji asked, taking a break from hammering.
Haruka cnsidered this.
"Actually, I don't know, I haven't really thought of dressing up..." She confessed.
"What? You have to!" Momiji got close her face. "You know, if you'd like, Haru and I can go with you!" He smiled.
"Thanks... But" Haruka searched for her sister, she was nowhere to be found.
"Momiji, did you see Sakura anywhere?" Haruka looked at the boy who started hammering again.
"Mm... No... You Haru?" Haruka looked at the white and black haired boy who was painting.
"No..." He said.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to go see if she is okay" And Haruka ran off.
Haruka looked all over the school for Sakura, but had no luck. Then she saw Yuki and Kyo.
"Hey guys, what is your class doing?" She asked as Kyo was carrying some fabrics.
"A haunted house" Yuki told her. "What about you?"
"So, you're the class my class is working with" Haruka smiled.
"That's good" Yuki smiled.
"Yeah, by the way, have you seen Sakura?"
"Sakura?" Kyo walked over.
"Yeah, she was supposed to help with the ticket stand with Momiji, Hatsu and I..." Haruka looked around a little.
Yuki and Kyo looked at each other, they knew they had to help, somehow... They couldn't leave the classroom. But after five minutes after Haruka's leaving, the silver haired girl was running towards the classroom.
"Guys!" Sakura was holding something close to her chest.
"There you are Ms. Sakura... What is that?" It was Yuki who saw Sakura first.
"I need Kyo and Haruka too, I don't want to explain myself over and over"
"You just missed her" Yuki told her. "But I'll get the stupid cat..." Yuki walked away, leaving Sakura shifting her gaze everywhere.
"Okay, what is it?" Kyo asked.
They walked to the unfinished ticket stand, Haruka was there.
"Sakura, there you are! Where have you been?" Haruka hugged her sister, but then noticed the blanket in her hands. "What's in that blanket?"
But Sakura didn't answer her question, instead they went to the roof, along with Yuki, Kyo, Momiji, and HatsuHaru.
"What's going on?" HatsuHaru asked.
"This..." She opened the blanket to reveal a black rabbit.
"Is that...?" The black rabbit opened it's eyes, and it struggle to get out of Sakura's grasp.
When it finally did, it jumped into Haruka's arms.
"Arsen..." Haruka's eyebrow twitched.
The black rabbit looked at Haruka with puppy looking eyes.
"You should know that's not going to work!" Haruka's tail and ears popped out, her tail swished back and forth in annoyance.
"Why are you being so cruel?" A voice much like Shigure's said.
"What the heck?" Kyo yelled.
"Oh, this is Arsen, our half brother..." Sakura said.
"He is NOT my brother" And Haruka walked off.
"What-"
POP
Sakura threw the blanket at the black haired guy, his clothes were inside, he changed quickly.
"Ah... The sweet sound of my two sisters voices! How beautiful!" He was more dramatic then Shigure.
"Arsen, what are you doing here?" Sakura hugged her brother and smiled.
"I need to talk to Haruka... Where did she go? Haruka? oh, Haruka!" The second part was in a singsong voice. he sighed. "Oh well, I guess I'll take my leave, I had news from our uncle but-" That's when Haruka ran back outside.
"What did he say?" She asked him.
"Here..." He handed her a letter, Haruka read it, but after a few moments, her expression saddened.
"What's wrong?" HatsuHaru took the letter from her hands, she didn't bother to try and get it back.
It read:
Dear Haruka,
I write to tell you know what the family has said...
We all took a vote, the heads of our family,
and decided unanimously that if you show
you face to the house, you will be destroyed.
You are banned... And tell Sakura she's
welcome...
Your Uncle...
After the letter made the rounds of the whole goup, even her brother, looked sorry for her.
"I was afraid of this..." Sakura said, rerading the letter. "They truly believe she'll do harm to everyone..."
"It's like Kyo, but different" Momiji said.
POP
A black cat appeared in front of them, she looked mad.
TBC..
Sakura: Okay... Well, this chapter I'm the lonley host!
Arsen: You are never alone, my dear sister!
Sakura: ... Anywho... Next time
Arsen: High school girls, high school girls-
Kyo: *Comes in and whaps the back of his head* Be quiet!
Sakura: Anyway... Um... Yuki, who are those girls... the Prince Yuki fan club? Oh dear, this going to be fun!
*Curtains close*
