It was getting dark as a beautiful girl with blond, red, black streaks, and one blue streak in her hair was sitting on the windowsill. She was watching the storm come in. The clouds were darker, hiding the beautiful orange full moon. She was waiting for her phone to finish charging. She heard yelling coming from the kitchen. The teenaged girl Mai got off the windowsill to open her door. She gently pushed the door to see her mom fighting with her boyfriend. Mai closed the door again softly. She went to watching the storm. The rain started to fall lightly against the window, she heard thunder in the distant and the lightning light up the fighting stopped, as Mai heard footsteps. She should have been scared but she wasn't. A young women with black hair and red streaks knocked on the door.
"Baby its me can I come in?"Mai's mom Trina asked.
"Yea mom it's it opened."Mai said sighing at the window.
Her mom opened the door to Mai looking out the window. She saw her with her hair down hiding her face.
"You okay sweetie?"Trina asked.
"Ya I'm okay."Mai replied.
A young man with brown hair and blond streaks came barging into Mai's room.
"Yo, baby can we get out of here?"The young man Tony asked.
He saw Mai by the window with her hair down and her mom looking at him.
"Yea honey we can. I"ll go start the car."Trina said giving him a kiss and walking out of Mai"s room.
"Hey Mai."Tony said.
"Hey Tony."Mai said with a look like 'leave' on her face.
"I don't like that look on your face."Tony said, and slapped her across the face.
"You jerk that hurt."Mai said with tears in her golden-blue eyes.
"What you call me you little brat?"Tony said angry.
He started hitting her blocked most of the shots. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up to where she was against the wall.
"Let of me you jerk-face."Mai said crying.
"No you little punk I think I"ll keep you like this."Tony said smiling. Mai took the chance and kicked him in the balls. Her mom had just come back to her room to see Tony on the ground and Mai crying.
"Honey what happened?"Trina asked as Tony was on the ground and Mai leaning against the window crying.
"She fell dear I tried to catch her, but she accidentally kicked me in the balls."Tony said. He looked to Mai for support on his story but she was to busy crying
"Mai, sweetie are you okay?"Trina asked.
"Yea mom I'm okay go have fun."Mai said wiping the tears and using a fake smile.
"Okay baby I have my cell if you need me."Trina said giving her a kiss on the head.
"Yea but try not to call got me?"Tony asked grabbing her hair.
Mai nodded her head as he let go of her and left.
When they were gone Mai looked at herself in the full length mirror she had in her room. She saw the bruises and fell to her knees and cried. Mai then grabbed a suitcase packed with clothes and half of her belongings. She didn't leave a note or anything. Mai grabbed her cellphone and charger and jumped out the window. She ran as fast as she could go in heels and a suitcase in her hand and as far away from her home as possible.
A young handsome man with silver almost white hair and dark brown eyes was walking around with a friend. His friend had black hair and black eyes. They were both tall and hungry.
"Man what does a dude have to do to get food around here?"The young named Zero asked.
"Now, now Zero be patient." Said his friend Kaname.
Mai was running and didn't know where she was going. She was alone and scared plus she was beaten and bruised. Mai fell to her knees and cried. Kaname and Zero were walking around the corner just as she was then noticed the streaked blond,red,black, and one blue streak haired girl crying.
"Kaname check out the cute girl."Zero said.
"Why don't you go help her Zero?"Kaname teased.
"Maybe I will."Zero said and started walking toward her.
"Hi I'm Zero Kiryu and this is my friend Kaname Kuran."Zero said.
Mai looked at him and she threw herself into his arms and cried. Zero held her close as Kaname looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
"I'm sorry I'm Mai Lynn."Mai said wiping the tears away.
"It's okay Mai are you alright?"Kaname asked as he saw that she was beaten and bruised. He nudged Zero and he saw what was done to her.
"Mai did someone hurt you?"Zero asked mad for some reason.
"Ya it was mom's boyfriend."Mai said trying not to cry but failed as her tears started up again.
"There there baby girl it's okay you're safe now."Zero said and saw that she had a suitcase with her also.
"Mai were you running away from home?"Kaname asked looking at her.
Mai nodded her head into Zero shoulder because she didn't want to let them see her cry again.
"Kaname we can't leave her here."Zero said holding her gently.
"We should take her out of the rain too."Kaname said grabbing the suitcase that was on the ground beside her.
"Yea your right. Sweetheart can you walk or stand-up?"Zero asked.
"I think I can"Mai said crying still. She tried to stand, but almost fell if wasn't for Zero catching her.
"Zero how about you carry her back to Cross Academy."Kaname said.
"I was to going to any-way if it's okay with her. Mai do you want me to carry you?"Zero asked.
Mai nodded."I might be a little heavy but can you."Mai said innocently with tears in her eyes. Zero picked her up with no effort at all. They headed back to Cross Academy.
