\\ "You're not alone" \\

"Isuzu, you're going to hospital." Hatori said from beside you, as you slowly took a seat at the edge of her bed. Isuzu clutched her knees closer to her chest as she looked away from you, Hatori and Shigure. "No! I'm not going!" She protested, causing Hatori to sigh once more. "Isuzu...." He called out again, "No! I hate the hospital!" She yelled again, shutting her eyes as she pushed away some of her dark memories.

"Isuzu-chan, please. Your body is not okay right now..." You say, placing a gentle hand on her arm and giving it a squeeze. She grew quiet, and didn't say anything. She suddenly got up, startling you in the process as she ran towards the window, slamming it open. "Isuzu!" Hatori yelled, reaching out to grab her as she attempted to get out using the window. "No! Let go!" She yelled back, as you stared watching in horror at the scene unfolding. "Leave me alone!"

Tohru walked into the room, with a tray of food, a similar expression on her face. Her hands gave out as she dropped the tray, the food spilling all over the floor as she called out to Rin, "Isuzu-san!" She called out, as Isuzu suddenly froze at the voice. "P-please don't, Isuzu-san! That's dangerous!" She added, her voice wavering as Rin slowly sat down, allowing Hatori to close the window.

"Rin, why not learn how to take care of yourself? Especially if you want people to leave you alone." Shigure spoke up, a smile on his face as he watched her. "Gure-chan... that's enough." You softly say, holding the sleeve of his clothing. He glances at you, and lets out a sigh.. the smile still on his face. "Everyone. Get out." Isuzu mumbled under her breath, her tone colder than ice.

"You're not going to escape are you?" Shigure asked, watching as Hatori locked the window. She didn't say a word, but it was enough reassurance that she wouldn't run, at least for now. The four of you exited the room, allowing Isuzu to think to herself. You watched as Shigure and Tohru made their way down the stairs as you slid down against the wall, sitting infront of Isuzu's room.

You let out a sigh, your head resting in your hands. The curse was no where near getting broken, and instead simply exhausting Isuzu out. If anything, it was time you took matters into your own hand and figured something out on your own as Isuzu rested for awhile. "What happened to the cheerful girl I used to know?" A familiar and warm voice called out as you moved your head to look up at him.

"Ki-chan..." You call out, as Yuki blinked in surprise at the serious and unfamiliar expression on your face. He was used to seeing you always smiling and brushing things off. He walked towards the door with a tray of fresh food in his hand, most likely for Isuzu. "I'll try talking to her." He said, as you nodded your head watching as he entered the room and placed the tray down. "Rin, eat something."

You peeked out from beside the door, watching as Isuzu laid beneath her blanket. "I'll kill you if you call Haru." She mumbled, hiding her face from Yuki. "Haru told me you'd manage on your own."He responded, taking a seat at the edge of her bed. "But let me tell you something... Haru still loves you, Rin." He softly said, placing a hand on her arm as he gave her a soft pat. "He loves you very much." He added, gazing at her softly and recalling Haru's words.

He didn't expect a response as he made his way out, closing the door behind him. "Don't worry too much, she'll be fine." He told you, crouching down beside you before reaching out to move some of the fallen hair away from your face.

You sigh, leaning your head down so it would momentarily rest on his shoulder. "What's this?" He asked, stroking the back of your head. "Energizer." You respond, a soft sigh following after your words. You could hear Yuki laugh to himself. The two of you sat in silence after that until Tohru cleared her throat.

"U-um.. I'll just give Isuzu-san some water..." She mumbled, feeling shy all of a sudden as she held up the water bottle and dashed into the room.
You blink in surprise at what just happened, smiling at the fact that Tohru didn't even let you respond and instead rushed into the room. Yuki glances at you, a similar thought in his head as you look at him. The two of you broke out into a small laugh, your laughter echoing through out the dark hallway.

"Shut up!" You heard Isuzu yell, suddenly flinching as she raised her voice. "It's none of your business!" She added, as you suddenly shot up. "Isuzu-san!" Tohru yelled back, starting you as the two began to yell at each other. "Don't meddle!" Isuzu yelled, as you glanced at Yuki unsure if you should intervene or not. "No! I will meddle!" Tohru yelled once again, as you slammed the door open, watching as Isuzu held Tohru by her collar.

"I have things I cannot give up, just as you do!" Tohru yelled, an unfamiliar expression on her face as you watched. "Shut up!" Isuzu yelled as you made your way towards them, placing a soft hand over Isuzu's which held Tohru. "Shut up! There's no way!" Isuzu yelled, letting go of Tohru as she shoved the both of you away and began to run. "Nobody knows how to!" Isuzu added, as the two of you began to frantically chase her, worried that she would get hurt

"Isuzu-chan, please stop!" You yell, running down the stairs after her as Tohru followed behind. "I can't free him this way!" She yelled at you, pausing as soon as she left the house barefoot. "I don't know what to do.." She added watching as you slowly approached her. As soon as you got closer to her, she began to run until... she tripped, falling onto the hard ground. "Isuzu-chan!" You yell, rushing to her side and crouching down beside her.

"I-i miss him.." She slowly said, tears running down her face as you slowly wrapped your arms around her. You could feel your own tears forming, as you softly rubbed her back and she held your shirt in her arms, crying into the crook of your neck, her tears soaking into your shirt.

"I know you do," you whisper, your voice trembling just enough. "You love him... I know. And he's still here, Isuzu-chan. Still waiting for you to come back to him." You tell her, watching her sobs get worse as you continued to speak.
"Isuzu-chan, isn't that why I'm here? You don't have to figure everything out right now... You're not alone in this. Not anymore." You add as you gently press your hand to the back of her head, steadying her.

"Isuzu-san...." Tohru softly called out, placing her hand slowly on Isuzu's back. She flinched in response, looking at Tohru with her tear stained eyes.. before suddenly suddenly clinging onto to Tohru, crying into her chest. "I don't know what to do anymore! I don't know.." She cried, your heartbreaking as she continued to sob into Tohru's chest. "It's scary to be by yourself... you've done so much on your own." Tohru softly said, wrapping her arms around Rin. "You're not alone."
