The Land of Tea: Welcome Home Haruka (Shizuke)

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She paused. "Maybe..." she said quietly. She began to pull herself away, feeling the moment had finished. "But i probably wouldn't care..." she laid her hands back in her lap. "I'm... not really sure at all actually..." she smiled slightly, looking over at him. He looked handsom, but she wouldn't dare say it, for fear that he would probably have the same response she had when he called her pretty. She didn't want to fight. Not now.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo reached over and ran his hand through her hair. He thought she was very pretty, but she seemed to deny it.
"Not sure? Are you kidding? You always get mad at me when I tell you that you are pretty!" he exclaimed, laughing a bit.
"And now suddenly, you just don't know?" he asked, giving her a bit of an odd look, but he still smiled.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Her eyes closed as his hand tangled in her messy hair. "Well, i'd disagree, no doubt." she said. "But i don't know if i'd actually say anything... i just don't know..." She sighed as a small smile spread on her face. Nothing could ruin this. It was wonder. "I'd probably just take it without argument."

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

He took one of her hands a pulled lightly on it.
"Come here, let me get the knots out of your hair." he said. He smiled at her.
"I always had to brush Shizuke's long hair, so I'm pretty good with hair." he chuckled.

I fell back and curled up on the bed. I just really hoped that Ling would convince his mother to let him have the job.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She blinked. "No no... i'll get it later. It's fine." This was awkward. To have a boy brush her hair. "It's just hair... no big deal at all." She pulled her hand away, bitting her lip. She closed her eyes again, sighing with weariness. "It's been a long day..." she said, with a slight yawn. Her head colapsed onto his shoulder again.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

His smile faded a bit.
"But you look much nicer with your hair brushed." he said, putting his arm around her again. He loved when she laid her head on his shoulder, it made him feel very important.
"You know, I love when you lay your head on my shoulder." he said, smiling more.

I sat up, waiting patiently for Haruka and Yuo.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She laughed lightheartedly. "Really?" she said, sighing tiredly, answering both of his statements at once. "But it's only looks, Yuo. Its not like they matter..." Again she yawned. "I should probably go to bed..." she imformed him, opening her heavy eyelids open. "It's probably getting late, and i have to get up early tomarrow..."

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo grabbed her hand.
"Before you go to bed, tell me why you have to get up early tomorrow?" he asked. He was secretly hoping for more than just an answer to his question.

I quickly changed into my pajamas and so did Yukio. I was tired and extremely bored. While I waited for Haruka to come to the room I pulled out one of my little dolls. I put the two dolls that Santomoro had sewed together beside me and began to work on the the half finished one.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She lifted her head, squeezing his hand. "Just somewhere i have to go tomarrow, Yuo." she said, secretively. She wasn't sure if he would say he would want to come. But it was a personal visit, and she wasn't sure if she wanted company. She stood, keeping a hold on his hand for a moment before smiling.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo sighed. He could tell that this wasn't something he should be included in.
"Fine, but be careful ok?" he said.
"And please don't be gone all day, Shizuke will make me sew with her if you do." he chuckled a bit and slowly slipped his hand out of her grip.

I kept on sewing the little doll. I pulled out a bit more thread and began to sew big blue eyes.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

When his slipped from her's she moved it to is face a she leaned down again. She pressed her lips to his shortly before she moved back about and inch. It just disappointed her that she didn't get the same dizzy feeling when she kissed him. "Thank you..." she said sofly. "Good night..." she was about turn and walk back to her room.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

He smiled a bit and watched as she turned to leave.
"Good-night Haruka." he said quietly. He was hoping that he would see her before she was off tomorrow morning, but he high doubts.

I glanced over at the doll of me and Santomoro then returned to my sewing. I loved to sew little dolls and had many of them back at home.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka opened the door. "I'll be leaving at six tomarrow if you want to see me off..." she said, hoping that he would. "Good night." she closed the door behind her as she prance happily down the hall to the other room. She walked in to find Shizuke, sewing together a small doll. "Hello Shizuke." she chirped.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo tilted his head a bit, it was like she read his mind. He quickly changed and curled up under the covers.
"I've got to make sure I get up early to see her off." he said quietly.

I looked up at Haruka and smiled.
"Hello Haruka-chan!" I said happily, looking back at my doll and continuing to sew the small doll.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka laughed. "Dolls? I haven't made one of those in so long." she said with a grin, going to sit next to Shizuke, watching her work. "I remember the first rag doll i made. Her name was... Hikari? I don't remember the name exactly but..." she laughed again before she stood to go and change into her own night attire. She returned from the bathroom in a knee length green night shirt. She didn't even think about the fact that her scars were showing.
