Chapter 9

Away...?

Haruko flipped the paper over to see if anything else was written. She looked over the small dark room in thought and worry... What if those jerks try to get to me...? Or Kyo? And what would happen if I ran out of money? A-And what if he got hurt?! What if he's going to pick a fight?! What if he never comes back?! What if--

She quickly ran to Kidd's room and tried to turn the door know. No use--the room was locked. She loudly banged on the door repeatedly "Kidd!! Kidd!! Kidd I know you're i there!!!" She hollered at the door. She then began to kick and beat harder against the door "Kidd!!! Kidd--" she promptly bit her lip and sunk to the floor, weakly beating on the door; her knuckles now scraped. "Kidd..."

....

Three sunsets have set since Kidd had pulled his vanishing act. Haruko sat at the bar, deep in thought...though if you asked her what she was thinking, she could not have given you an answer; though that did not prevent her from giving out a harsh glare.

Senji placed a martini beside her, making her look up.

"Seems you're the main person who could use one, Pop Star." His eyes furrowed concerned

Haruko looked up at him and shook her head "No thank you... I haven't been feeling like drinking for a while."

Senji smiled half-heartedly, "Seems that guy broke your habit..."

Haruko nodded slightly "Hm...I need to go back on stage.." With that, she left towards the stage.

"...good luck...Pop Star..." He said silently as she was already half way gone.

Today was a calm Thursday, so though she would usually have to be more pumped than usual, she was so empty. Recently, the aura that has surrounded her have been full of gloom and depression. People could tell something was wrong when she sung; though she sung the songs perfectly, the feeling was always sad and when she looked towards the crowd, her look was full of vacancy. She continued to sing the songs, full of emotion, though the emotions were almost out of place. She didn't have any bits to excite the crowd; she would go up, sing her songs, and go sit back down, today being no exception.

She carefully grabbed the microphone as tunes played through the speakers.

"This burning love is weighing down my soul
I'm all on my own. No place to go...
Aaaaaah!!"

She rocked her head to the song, trying to fall into the rhythmic pattern to the song as the intro slowly drifted off.

"Grey clouds surrounding me, sitting over this shadowed city.
Sunlight refusing to shine, as dusk slowly comes...
There's no hope in this bleak darkness...
Ahh~"

She slowly swayed her body, matching the beat.

"This world is slowly bleeding out
Regardless, I will continue to love you
Obviously, I can't figure out what to do"

Haruko then hugged her arms, as if comforting herself in her current troubles.

"How should I act? What should I do?
I Guess I'm... just foolish."

New electric instruments were suddenly introduced as she began to rock again to the song, more demanding this time around.

"Now's no time for silly games!
This love is now a war!"

She began to wave her arm across herself, as if in denial.

"I can't stand seeing you happy with anyone but me!
My heart has chosen you... and that's my only sin!
But give me just one chance- I'll show you how I really fe~el..."
