As they walked towards town she couldn't help but glance over Eiichi's arms again. They were healing but it didn't make her not wonder if it was still happening. She could only imagine what he had to endure. Eiji had said that it had been happening since he had been small, but she didn't understand what would truly trigger his father to do such a horrible thing. They walked in silence, which left her alone with her thoughts. She had promise that she would stop everything but she had no clue why such an event would start in the first place.

In fact there was so many things that didn't make sense. Her mother and her father didn't make sense. They hadn't tried to get a hold of her once and now her father was representing Moonlight. Also why did she have the feeling that something else was going to happen? She was still caught up about the gay comment that Eiichi had said, why would anyone think that of him? Maybe she didn't know Eiichi at all. Of course she didn't not like anyone that she had lived with, but wasn't that what dating was all about to continue to learn about the person?

"Two please." They were at the front of some restaurant. She had zoned out the entire time and hadn't realize where they were. However she realize the restaurant that Eiichi had chosen was the one she had gone to with Syo and Natsuki. She noticed that everyone was watching them as they took a seat.

"Isn't that the guy from Heavens… but who is that girl?"

"Do you think that is his girlfriend?"

"Didn't they perform at the Triple S together?"

"That's right as Moonlight. That girl is so lucky I am so jealous."

"Hey don't listen to them. Haruka you've been quiet since I told you that" Eiichi was watching her from his spot across from her. He looked worried. She needed to tell him it wasn't what he said that got her thinking. She didn't want him to worry after all.

"It isn't that, it is just I can't help but think something is going on." She was at least going to be truthful about all of it.

"Do you ever just live in the moment? Ask me if you want to know something it isn't prying. You know I will tell you anything you want to know." Eiichi reached out and took her hand. How did he read that into that?

She couldn't help but chew on her bottom lip as she thought about what she wanted to ask first. "Is it still happening" she asked in a soft voice.

"As of now no. I don't think he could really get away with it now though. Mother has been moving around the house now. Though that is why I am worried about you." She gave Eiichi a confused look.

"Why are you worried about me?"

"When you collapsed earlier Eiji asked me if you had the same thing as mother did. It is true she always had fragile health but I think there is more to it frankly. It is odd that after you come see her that she just gets better out of nowhere. Last night I overheard that Father called the doctor to come over. She is getting better. It is like a miracle that was what the father said."

"That is great but why are you worried about me?"

"Don't you think it's odd that it was your mother who was assigned to care for my mother?" Eiichi wasn't making sense. Eiichi paused to order something when the waitress came, she vaguely heard that Eiichi ordered something for her as well. "Haruka. That is why I am worried about you. Before you would zone out but it was never this bad. I think I will arrange for you to see the doctor as well."

"But I'm fine that isn't necessary Eiichi."

"It is, if you have this it is better to catch it beforehand. I love you and I refuse to see you like that. Please, I'd rather be safe then have to watch you suffer. You have no idea just how bad it was." Eiichi was serious, there was no arguing with him, he was truly worried about her. It wasn't long before the food came and she looked at the normal cheeseburger and fries in front of her. "Eat" Eiichi urged her when she didn't touch her food.

She hesitantly took one of the fries in front of her. "If you don't eat our next stop will be the hospital." Eiichi's tone was a warning. She started to slowly eat the food, once she started it actually did taste good. Eiichi was watching her she knew he was. "It started" Eiichi said touching his own arm "because Eiji was born. It was because I was the oldest and my father was trying to make sure I could take over things. The comment from earlier was because I guess they thought I tried too hard. It was an image, my father's idea. I didn't exactly care about anyone before you."

She couldn't help but think back to the Uta Pri how Eiichi had been. He was a little too determined to get her. "When did it start? " She couldn't help but ask.

"I never really thought a lot about it. It felt odd when I first saw you. It was like I knew I wanted you but I wasn't sure how to…"

She couldn't help but look over Eiichi, his eyes were looking at his food rather than at her. "That is why you did what you did at the Uta Pri wasn't it? However to everyone else it just looked like you were trying to take me from Starish because of the song, but there was so much more to it." She was finally starting to understand. Eiichi had issues communicating the right thing because so much had always been expected of him. She was glad that she had actually gotten to know Eiichi over the small period of time when the switch had happened.

"You're right he does look better without those glasses."

"I know that girl is so lucky that she gets to look into those gorgeous eyes of his. I would melt!"

She knew she would have to get used to people's reaction eventually but it was still hard to get so much attention. Eiichi had moved his chair over by her and was holding her tightly to him. "Don't listen to them at all" he whispered in her ear. She thought she heard one of the girls squeal. Eiichi kissed her neck softly. Was he trying to get her to pay less attention to the people around her? As she adjusted herself in Eiichi's arms that was when she saw them. Ren and Hijirikawa were sitting in the very corner of the outside dining area. They were too far away for her to truly hear anything they were saying, but they were sitting so very close to each other.

Eiichi let her go finally. She noticed that he was paying for their meal and was guiding her out again. She hardly even got a chance to give a very awkward wave to the two members of Starish. When they were away from the location Eiichi gave her a look. "Who was the other one again? That one was the one Kira switched with right."

"Hijirikawa-san and the person he was with was Jinguji-san." She couldn't help but wonder what was going on between them. It looked like they didn't want anyone to catch them together.

Eiichi gave a look towards where they were sitting. "Right they were roommates. Something might have happened initially. Not that Kira would have said anything to anyone. There is something going on there but don't worry, none of it is your fault." She was confused by Eiichi's words. Eiichi was thinking. "Then again something may have happened in every aspect but mine."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nagi and Kira may have made things a little worse by switching with who they switched with. I guess certain aspects can rub off on people." That was when she remember Nagi's reply to Kira. She went bright red when she figured it out.

"You mean…?"

"I thought you knew they were gay." Eiichi's voice was low. She shook her head quickly. Nagi and Kira were both gay?

"I had no clue. Plus I don't really care it is their preference and if it makes them happy that is all that should matter. Wait is that another reason why they thought…" She couldn't help how her voice quickly came out in a small squeak.

"Yes because we three were together a lot and they thought something was bound to happen between us even though Nagi was only thirteen. They thought me going after women was a ploy to hide it…"

"That is why Nagi is always around you." Eiichi gave a soft nod.

"Unfortunately. That is also why I moved back upstairs. I rather be away from the rest of them. Eiji I swear is the only normal one of them." That was when she noticed that Eiichi was shaking a little bit and they had stopped walking. That was when she remembered their moment before when she had reached to take off his jacket. What he said after that had been forced. It was her turn to take the lead.

"Come on let's get out of here. Eiichi you know I am here for you. You don't have to feel like you have to tell me everything though. I don't know what happened in the past, but you're shaking and I rather not make you uncomfortable."

"No come on I feel better now" he got out and he quickly walked back towards the Heavens' mansion. She noticed how many stares they got as they walked through town. Maybe Eiichi was just a little broken. He was abused by his own father and something must have happened to make him feel uncomfortable about someone undressing him. Yet she couldn't overthink things, Eiichi was extremely sweet and caring about her after all.

"Father, can you send for the doctor again?"

"Why? They said your mother was fine."

"No it is for Haruka. "

"I see. I will see if he can make it here. So you really care about her don't you?"

"I do more than anything." she could barely hear the exchange between Eiichi and his father. She was being led up the stairs. "Haruka we are here." She didn't realize she had zoned out again. She looked around the room, they were in the room she had stayed in but she noticed that things had been changed around. The door was closed and she was sitting on the bed. "I am really worried about you. Though father is sending for the doctor so at least I will feel a little better." It was like Eiichi was putting everything off that he was feeling. Maybe he was just really worried about her and the rest had been her imagination. She should at least humor him and at least let the doctor look over her.

She was getting closer to Eiichi, she didn't understand what had come over her. Eiichi was tensing under her, it looked like he was frozen to the bed in fear. She looked over him, his shirt was off and he was just staring up at her. What was happening to her? She didn't remember taking Eiichi's shirt off, though a bright blush crossed her cheeks when she realized that he was under her shirtless.

He was shaking a little. She noticed his eyes were wide in shock. "Ha…r…..uka" his voice was shaking. She quickly got off of him.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me" she half squeaked out. She couldn't stop looking over his body though. Eiichi quickly sat up on the bed. He looked a little terrified when he had been laying on his back under her. What had happened before? She didn't know what was happening to her? This was the second time today that she had been on top of him with some item of clothing coming off. Maybe something was wrong with her? The door opened.

"Father said the doctor can't come today but…" Eiji was looking at them. "Oh I'm sorry for interrupting something."

"No it's fine" Eiichi said gaining back his normal composer.

"Oh okay. Haruka-chan can I borrow you then." She quickly nodded and escaped the room. Eiji led her into his room and closed the door. "I have no clue if he told you but be gentle with him. Nagi tried to take advantage of him before not to mention Van."

"Who is Van?"

"One of the newer members of Heavens. Look Haruka-chan he is just a little fragile himself. He will try to play it off but I know him better than anyone. Both experiences got to him, even if he denies it."

"Why did everyone think he was gay?" She couldn't help but ask Eiji even though Eiichi had told her something about that. Maybe Eiji would know more.

"People will think what they do. There is sometimes no explanation. He adores you though and he is worried that he will mess up with you. I've never seen him actually try so hard at anything in his life. Just be careful with him, also father thinks you should spend the night again."

"Though I didn't prepare for that. I can't even control myself around Eiichi."

"I will go and get some of your stuff, it is that or you can wear some of Eiichi's clothes tomorrow. Or I guess you could try to see if mom has something for you to wear. As for sleeping arrangements father is really wanting you and Eiichi to…"

She went bright red. She knew what Eiji was going to say and she couldn't handle it. "No no I can't. What happens if something happens like …" She was modified.

"I guess you can always sleep in Eiichi's room downstairs. Though I wouldn't trust any of the guys down there. Nii-san would kill me if you slept in my room though I guess you could always have the bed and I could sleep on the floor." It was like Eiji had thought of everything.

"No I don't want to be an inconvenience." Eiji was opening the door again.

"You're not. I wouldn't mind, though maybe try fixing things with Nii-san first." She went across the hallways to see that Eiichi hadn't moved, he was still sitting their shirtless. "Also Nii-san, father said that Haruka-chan needs to spend the night. The doctor will be here tomorrow morning. I am going to get some of her things. You two should figure out sleeping arrangements when I am gone." Eiji left quickly closing the door after him. That left her alone with Eiichi again.

"I don't mind you can sleep with me, after all we slept together before."

"No I don't want to be a bother" she got out quickly.

"You're not…"

"I can't control myself, I am. I don't want to make your uncomfortable."

Eiichi brought her to his chest again. "I was surprised that was all. Wait you said you can't control yourself…"

She slowly nodded. "It is odd, but I am afraid that if we sleep together we might…"

"It isn't like we didn't slept together before. I will feel safer if you do sleep with me though. Eiji probably told you what happened. I trust you so if something does happen we will move pass it together. We will get through all of it together. I love you."

"But I don't want…"

"Haruka you can undress me fully if you want." Eiichi's voice came out quickly. She noticed that he had undone the gloves when she had been with Eiji. She also noticed that he was shaking as he looked at her. He put her hand on his waist to which she could only shake her head.

"I am perfectly fine with waiting as well." She was telling the truth, she was fine waiting. She had no rush to see anything pass a shirtless Eiichi. She was a little afraid after all, what if she messed up. She didn't want to rush into something she had no clue about after all. They hadn't even been dating for that long there was really no rush at all. She really didn't want to do something wrong. She moved her hand to Eiichi's face and softly kissed him. She had barely just gotten used to kissing him, there really was no rush for other things.

He was once again watching her in shock. "What did I do something wrong?" Now she was really concerned about Eiichi.

"No I'm just shocked that is all. Eiji told you. It is just no one has ever waited for me to say a word before. Nothing ever happened, Eiji usually was around to stop them. I guess that is why I am so surprised. It is nothing you have done I promise." Eiichi kissed her softly to prove she hadn't done anything wrong. Though for some reason it felt like there was more to this story.

"Was that what Eiji-kun meant when he said we belonged together?"

"I guess so. Though Haruka I meant it you we will work through this together."

"You're shaking though Eiichi. I don't mean to pry but what exactly happen? People don't just shake because nothing happened." She noticed that Eiichi was shaking even worse now. She could only imagine what he had been put through. "You don't have to say a word" she quickly added.

Eiichi got up from the bed and pulled on his shirt again before sitting back down again. "I really don't deserve you." She was confused by Eiichi's words. Eiji usually stopped them before anything happened, that was what Eiichi had said. Though why would he shake even time she touched him? This whole thing was a mess, why couldn't they just have a normal relationship for once? Normal? Did she even know what a normal relationship was like?

"Eiji, didn't tell you everything did he?" Eiichi's voice was quiet and he wasn't looking at her. Was there more to this story that she was supposed to see? Then she realized what if they had done something to him? She knew nothing about things like that, but all of it was terrible especially if it was true.

"Did they do more to you that Eiji-kun couldn't stop? That's…"

"You can't say a word." Eiichi's voice was rushed.

"I won't I promise. You know I am here for you right."

"I can't just depend on you that is why I don't deserve you. What if I am the reason you are getting sick?" She was beyond confused, what was Eiichi talking about? Just what was she missing from this?

"Eiichi look at me. Stop saying that. I chose you. You are a wonderful guy. You aren't doing anything wrong. Please stop thinking you are and stop saying you don't deserve me because everyone deserves to be happy." Eiichi sighed.

"I guess you're right." Eiichi surprised her when he took her into his arms and laid down. She cuddled into him after the initial shock was gone. She couldn't help but slowly drift asleep.
