“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
Haruka stared at Asuka for a long time, many thoughts running through her mind at once. Did Asuka wish to be her friend? is that what was being asked of her? She smiled softly at the other girl before nodding her head. She had never really resented Asuka for what had happened, it was understandable, if the girl had to have blood to live, then maybe, ne day, she could help, Haru had never considered Asuka not to be her friend, but not it all made since, that's why she had been acting so worried, she was worried that Haruka wouldn't be her friend anymore, that she could never forgive her for what had happened. "You've always been my friend." She stated plainly while offering a larger, happier smile.
She could live in this school if Asuka was her friend, she would be able to keep up life in this strange hell until she could leave. It was possible...but there was still one more thing she had to do before she could be at peace with herself in this school...we actually three things, but the other two could be held off until a later date...the first one through...if she hoped to get any rest tonight, she would have to do it tonight. Haruka was open to open her mouth to ask a favor of Asuka, perhaps invite her along, but right at that moment Zenith walked in with a small white haired girl in his arms. Haruka froze as she stared at the two of them, why was zenith carrying that girl...was she...was she bleeding? Oh...I see... her smile vanished as she mearly stared at the two white haired people standing in the doorway. "Good morning. Ms. Fujiwara. Ms. Yamazaki." He stated properly, but something in her gut told her that he didn't even want to see them at the moment, all her cared about was the girl in his arms.
She stared for a moment longer, before standing from the bed and heading out of the room. "I'll be in my dorm." She calmly addressed Asuka before turning towards Zenith and the unknown girl. "Goodbye." She then turned and walked from the room, and out of the infirmary, and outside.Zenith had told her to stay away from him, that she didn't belong in his life, so that's what she would do, for as long as he wished for her to do it. It took awhile before she finally got to her dorm room, but when she did she shut and locked the door. After sitting around for a minute or two, she took a quick shower, put another bandage over the cut on her head, and changed into a pair of black jeans, black sneakers, a long sleeved black shirt, and proceed to climb out of the window and jump to the tree, which she climbed down and landed gracefully on the ground. I need to work out more... She thought with a huff before taking off running into the dark of the night.
About fifteen minuets later Haruka had made it to the small hole in the wall that was on the east side of the school, she had found it while on one of her walks through the forest, she had used this hole when she last visited her hold home, and now she would use it again for the same reason. She easily slide through the hole, and then took off running again until the school was no longer in sight behind her. That had only taken half an hour, and now the sun was raising into the sky, but most of the light was blocked out by clouds, so it was still nice and cool outside. Soon she would be nearing her old home...maybe if she came to terms with the fact that her parents were never going to return again, she could be a little more happy with...well the school.
