The Incident

Gumi's POV

"Hey, Kaito!" I yelled running to the school gate, where Kaito was.

"Hiya, Gumi. Whats up? Wanna walk home with me, Kikaito, Kaiko, and Akaito?" Kaito asked.

To be honest I don't really like Kaito. I mean hes cool and all, and hes really nice, but I've never really liked him. I think hes annoying and he talks waaaay too much; hes a lot like a girl. Except he only talks about one thing, ice cream. He could talk for 12 straight hours telling you all about ice cream and still have more to say!

"Actually I was wondering if you knew if Mikio already went home."

"I think hes still back in the class room actually." Kaito put his finger on his chin contemplatively. "Yeah! I remember he stayed after class with Lenka to clean the class room."

"Thank you! If Gumo asks I'm staying after to help them out!" I said over my shoulder running back into the building.

As soon as I ran into the building I ran into Kiku, and we both fell to the floor, her papers flying everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Kiku. I didn't see you there." I got up then kneeled down, and started picking her papers up.

"I think part of the reason is because you were running. Wanna explain?" She mirrored my actions kneeling and picking the papers up.

"I'm going to meet up with Mikio and help him clean up his class room." I smiled handing her her papers.

Kiku smiled grabbing the papers and stuffing them in her bag, "Have fun and don't push yourself too hard, ok Gumi?"

"Ok," I got up.

"Gumi remember if he ever hurts you, tell me right away and ill take care of it, promise?"

"I promise," I said rolling my eyes.

"Even if he hurts you when I'm on vacation, call me immediately and I will take care of it."

"Ok, Kiku." I hugged her goodbye, and resumed my journey to his class room.

Kiku has been my best friend since kindergarten. Everyone thought she was scary so she never made any friends until I ate lunch with her and got to know her better. She wasn't and isn't that scary as long as you take the chance to talk to her and not provoke. She has always been very protective of me since I became her friend. She wards off my bullies and takes care of anyone who would dare hurt me emotionally or physically.

Kiku's POV

Lately I've been having this bad feeling about Mikio. This bad feeling is like a premonition. This bad feeling never shows up, unless said person is about to hurt Gumi. I don't quite know how or when this feeling started occurring, but I've learned to listen to it. I've never told Gumi of course because I'm afraid she'll think I'm crazy and out of my mind, and my only friend will desert me. Everyone else is afraid of me. They wont even talk to me or try to get to know me. The only one has been Gumi, and ever since then I've protected her as much as I possibly can, warding off her bullies and such. I simply cannot stand to see her hurt in any way at all.

I stopped walking to the door for a minute to get a better hold of my paper work when I saw Gumi running straight for me. I saw her too late and she knocked me down and my papers went flying.

I opened my eyes and saw Gumi sprawled on top of me.

"I'm sorry, Kiku. I didn't see you there." She apologized and started picking up my papers.

"I think part of the reason why is because you were running. Wanna explain?" I asked worried. Did Mikio already do something to hurt her? My thoughts jumping to worst first, as always.

"I'm going to meet up with Mikio and help him clean up his class room." She handed me my paper work with the big, bright smile I sought out to protect.

I smiled back with my not-so-bright smile and stuffed my papers into my bag, "Have fun and don't push yourself too hard, ok Gumi?"

"Ok," She said as she got up.

"Gumi remember if he ever hurts you, tell me right away and ill take care of it, promise?"

"I promise," She rolled her eyes.

"Even if he hurts you when I'm on vacation, call me immediately and I will take care of it."

"Ok, Kiku." We hugged goodbye, and I left the school, praying that nothing happened with her and Mikio during vacation.

Gumi's POV

I was standing there outside Mikio's class room just about to open the door when I started hearing voices.

"You're so cute when your turned on, Lenka~" Mikio said beyond the door.

What the hell...? I thought.

"Mikio...please...I need you." Lenka's voice whined seductively from beyond the same door.

Whats going on...are they...no! I shook the thought from my head and continued to listen.

"O.k. Brace yourself im going to enter~" Mikio said obviously pleased.

"HNNNN...AAAAAHHHHHH!" Lenka scream-moaned.

They ARE doing it...? The thought of Mikio betraying me brought hot stinging tears to my eyes.

A frustrated sound grunt came from Lenka.

"You have to ask first if you want it~"Mikio responded.

"Mikio...please...MOVE inside me..." Lenka sounded exaspirated.

I backed against the wall opposite the class room. NO! Nonononononononononoooo! Why would he do this to me? He looked perfectly happy when we went on dates together, so why? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not his type? Is it because I refused to have sex with him last weekend when he tried to force it on me...? I couldn't stop the full onslaught of tears that were streaming down my face.

I turned and ran out of the hallway, down the stairs, and out the doors of the school building. Even then I kept running I didn't stop, not even for my dear friends saying goodbye or asking what was wrong I kept running.

When I finally stopped running it was dark out and my eyes had long since dried out from the many tears that I had given. I was at a kids playground. I looked around nothing looked familiar.

Great I'm lost...I don't care!...I thought, and plopped down in a swing angrily.

"I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE!" I yelled at the stars.

It's a lie. I do care, and I hate myself for caring. Why do I still care about him?...oh right...it's because I foolishly fell in love with him... I'm so stupid...My vision started blurring with tears again.

"Hey, stupid! Your gonna wake everyone up!" I looked up through my blurred eyes to see a gorgeous light blue haired guy walk up to me. "Whats your problem anyway? Whats got you so riled up?"

"Nothing. Sorry for waking you up." I stood up and wiped my eyes.

"Obviously there is something wrong."

"Well its, hic, none of your business." I started to sob.

"I'm making it my business. Now tell me." He stood right in front of me awaiting my explanation.

I walked around him, no longer having any energy to run away from this situation.

"Did you get in a fight with your parents? Did you find out your parents are getting a divorce? Or did you and your boyfriend get in a fight?"

The last one made me stop. We never got in a fight, not once, before now, and even now this isn't a fight.

"Thats it isn't it? You and your boyfriend got in a fight. Well im sure its not that bad toots. Just go home and apologize to him and everything will return to normal im sure, and you can forget anything ever got between you two."

That made me see red. "For your information, no we did not and haven't ever gotten in a fight!" He was shocked at my sudden outburst and backed up while I moved forward and jabbed him with my finger in his chest. "And I wont say sorry for something I didn't even do! And don't you dare try to rate how bad a situation is without all the information about it! Because even if I apologized NOTHING will return to normal between us! He FUCKED another GIRL! And he'll never be able to take that back..." I finished my out burst collapsing into his chest sobbing.

"Your gonna wake up the neighbors if you keep yelling like that, stupid. How about you come and stay the night with me since its so late."

"O.k." I mumbled into his shoulder and we started walking.

"We're here. Wake up, stupid." He woke me.

"My names not stupid, its Gumi." I said sleepily wiping the sleep out of my eyes.

"My names Isamine, and I think it'd be a good idea to call your parents and tell them where you are and that your staying here for the night, Baka."He handed me the phone. "I'll get you a pair of pajamas while you do that."

"Right" I said taking the phone. "Thanks" I looked at him trying to force a smile, but it didn't work.

"You can't force a smile when your not happy, everyone knows that stupid." He walked off.

I dialed my brothers phone number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello," Gumo said.

"Hi, Gumo." I replied.

"GUMI! Where are you? Are you hurt? What happened I heard from several of your friends that you ran off after school crying!"

"I'm at a friends house. I can't say that I'm not hurt." My voice cracked.

"Gumi what happened?" Gumo was alarmed and pissed I could tell he wanted revenge on the person who hurt his baby sister.

"I'll explain later, ok? I promise. And please don't tell Kiku." I added the last part after a second of thought. "Good bye."

He sighed. "ok Gumi I won't tell Kiku. Be safe and I'm expecting a full explanation later. Bye." I hung up the phone just as Isamine reappeared.

"Follow me and I'll lead you to the bathroom to change." He said disinterested and started walking down the hall.

I followed. We walked for two minutes until he stopped in front of a wooden door.

"Here you are." He gestured to the door.

I nodded.

"I'll wait til you get out and I'll lead you to the spare bedroom where you'll sleep tonight." He sounded disinterested again and leaned against the wall opposite the door looking bored.

I walked in and took the too-big T-shirt and sweat pants and pulled them on after I yanked my school uniform off.

After I walked out he pushed off the wall and led me down the hall to the last door.

"And here is where you"ll be sleeping tonight."

"Thank you," I yawned as he leaned down and kissed me taking my school uniform, and pulling away before I could react.

"Good night, sweet heart!" He said with a smirk on his face as I slammed the door on his face.
