Whew well here is the next chapter, I spent the last couple of days proof reading the older chapter and wow so many mistakes hopefully I got most of them. Anyway on with the story hope you enjoy, please read and review.

Haru landed in the forest that she had been taken from earlier. She watched as the portal faded into the atmosphere a sad look on her face.

"Caramel," she whispered before smiling, "Thank you," she said before she started running through the forest in hopes of finding Baron and the others. About ten minutes into her search she stopped as her knees buckled beneath her and a sharp pain shot through her heart, on reflex she pressed her stomach with her arms. The pain past and Haru felt a tear escape from her eye. She looked up to the sky.

"I'm sorry," was whispered in the wind, her lip trembled. She knew, she knew that Caramel was gone, and again it was her fault. How many more would die because of her? She sighed as she stood up on shaky legs, she had promised Caramel. She couldn't let the cat down, not after she had just died to protect her. She carried on.

Meanwhile Baron and the others were still in the forest.

"If the Order of Grace have Haru, then we have to find them quickly," Lune said looking around the group.

"But we don't know where to look," Yuki added sadly. Olivander's ears snapped up. He licked his lips and closed his eyes drawing Baron's attention.

"What is it Mr Dizz?" Baron asked watching the old cat.

"I can feel a portal, it's not too far from here," the old cat replied as he opened his eyes pointing in the direction of where he felt the portal.

"Well then we should check it out," said Muta as he turned towards the direction Olivander pointed in.

"Wait Muta, we don't know how many there are or who they are," said Baron stopping his large friend, "Stay here while Toto and I take an aerial scope," he added as he jumped on to Toto's back earning a huff of annoyance from Muta.

"Birdbrain gets all the fun," the fat cat mumbled under his breath.

Haru was slowly walking through the forest. She still wore the robe Caramel had given her, making sure that her face was completely hidden should she come upon any strangers. She walked in the direction her heart told her to go, hoping against hope that wherever her friends had gone; it wasn't to the Cat Palace, she shivered as images of what could have happened had it not been for Natoru saving her filtered through her mind. She took note to thank the annoying cat for his timing if she ever saw him again.

Baron and Toto were high above the forest circling the area where Olivander had felt the presence of a portal. Baron's ears snapped up much like Olivander's had as the sound of a snapping twig came to his ears.

"Toto head to your right!" Baron shouted over the wind as he held onto his top hat.

"Ok Baron," Toto replied before manoeuvring to his right. Baron's eyes narrowed, if he was right then whoever had come through the portal was heading for the others.

Haru looked around her, cursing herself for not looking where she was treading, cats had notoriously good hearing. The last thing she wanted was to be seized by one cat when she had just escaped from another. She didn't think she could manage another fight either, too much blood had already been shed because of her. As it was for that reason alone that she continued on with her journey, it was what had pulled her out of her depression, she couldn't let their deaths be in vain, and she was determined not to.

Baron surveyed the ground, looking for whoever had caused the noise from before, knowing that it was the very same person who had come through the portal. His eyes widened as he spotted a lone cloaked figure before narrowing his eyes as he realised what the cloak signified. Whoever this cat was, they were a member to the Order of Grace.

"Toto down there!" Baron shouted over the wind as he pointed the mysterious figure out to the bird.

"Right!" Toto yelled back before swooping down on the unsuspecting cat.

Once they got close enough Baron jumped off of Toto and grabbed Haru from behind, twisting her arms from behind, causing Haru to cry out in fear and surprise.

"Where is Haru?!" Baron snarled to the trembling figure in his grasp.

"Ba-baron?" Haru asked hesitantly causing Baron to release her in shock.

"Ha-haru?" he asked in reply. Haru slowly turned to see if this really was Baron. His attack had surprised and scared her. Taking off her hood her fear doubled when she indeed saw that the owner of the harsh voice was Baron. Never in her life would she have thought that Baron could turn like that, so much anger. It was like facing Lock Jack again, and that thought alone caused her to step back in fear.

"Haru?" Baron asked as he watched the girl take a step back in fear. He reached out to her but that only caused Haru to take another step backwards. He lowered his arm, hurt shone brightly in his eyes, he realized that Haru was afraid of him, his Haru. He had scared the woman he loved and that fact had added a fracture to his already broken heart.

"Haru.......I'm sorry for scaring you, I'm sorry for blaming you.....I'm sorry that I wasn't there to save you.....I understand if you wish to never see me again, but please allow me to help you on this journey," Baron said, his voice sounded so broken that Haru felt ashamed for her irrational fear. Baron wasn't Lock Jack, Baron was Baron. He was her Baron and after fighting so hard to get back to him, to save him, she wasn't going to lose him. She charged forward and slung herself into Baron's shoulder before the dam broke as she once again began to cry.

"I'm sorry Baron! I don't blame you for hating me! I-I really tried to fight back! You have to believe me I would never cheat on you! I love you! But he was just too strong, please forgive me!" she cried, the thought of losing Baron hurt more then she could ever imagine. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"Haru......I....I...." stuttered Baron, not sure what he could say. He felt his own eyes water as tears seeped over the edge. He gripped hold of her and started to cry in her own shoulder. "Haru I know what happened. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I could never hate you, never. I love you! I love you so much that I was blinded by jealousy!" he cried. Haru's eyes widened when she felt Baron cry on her shoulder, it made her cry harder as she listened to the cat doll apologize for something he couldn't have stopped.

The pair of them stood in the clearing before sinking to the floor holding each other. They both needed the comfort of each other. The warmth and love they shared was the only thing that could bring the two back from the edge.

Toto watched from his bird's eye view, he smiled as the two held each other, they would be alright.

"I love you Baron," Haru whispered as she willed her tears to stop.

"As do I, I love you Haru," Baron replied giving her a kiss on the top of her head. They had finally reunited, they were back.
