Miya's POV
I woke the loud sound of the alarm clock ringing in my ears causing the already pounding headache to grow worse. With a wince I rubbed the side of my face where the black and blue hand print left by my father was. This is going to be a long day I thought as I pulled myself from under the warmth of my blanket and headed ever so slowly to the bathroom trying not to look at my own bruised and battered form in the mirror.
I have gym first period today…. I reminded myself with a frown before dragging myself into the shower quickly washing the dried blood from my limbs forcing my fingers through snarled hair, hopping out before the water had a chance to turn completely ice cold.
Descending the creaky stairs to my living room, silently tip toeing past the drunkard passed out on the couch I reluctantly called father I crept into the kitchen searching through the almost bare cupboards for something to eat before pulling out a dusty pop tart I recalled hiding in the back corner before heading swiftly out the door towards the last place I wanted to be.
Walking silently down the road I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and chest before coughing harshly into my hand wiping it onto my last pair of remotely clean baggy black pants, taking a tentative sniff of my black vest with a frown glad that it at least didn't smell like a dumpster left in the hot sun. Reeling in my irritation I pushed open the doors to the school keeping my head held high walking past the other teenagers trying my best to ignore the their whispers 'I don't understand how that stupid slut gets to wear whatever she wants to school!' or my ever favorite, 'I heard she's sleeping with the principal so Miya can do whatever she wants."
I tried my best to ignore their comments but it still got to me as I let my overgrown bangs fall in front of my face as I played with my hair twisting it between my fingers not letting the tears spill from my eyes in front of them. Why should I care about what they think its none of their business I know the rumors aren't true.
"Hey Miya!" I heard a loud voice call from down the hall making me look up and smile as Yusuke and Keiko walked towards me causing all the other kids to rush away as the sight of the 'horrifying' Urameshi.
"H-hey guys" I stammered sniffing softly rubbing my eyes trying as hard as I could to keep the tears from falling. Yusuke patted my head as usual causing the sharp headache to give a horrible throb I fought back a wince giving them another weak grin, Keiko gave a polite smile in return glad to see I was back to school today but Yusuke frowned.
"Mi, are you okay you seem a little out of it today."
I bit my lip nodding, I should have known better than to try and hide something from him, he knows me better than that. I realized hanging my head
"N-no I-I'm fine!" I responded quickly mentally slapping myself hurrying to pull my binders out of my locker before the bell rang not hearing anything else the soon to be couple said. The loud ringing made me jump waving goodbye I ran towards the gym tiring myself out before I got very far.
Breathing heavily my chest hurt as I leaned against the wall swearing weakly as the bell rang trudging towards the door slipping once my feet made contact with the gym floor causing the teens already laughing at me for being late to laugh harder as I picked up my belongings.
The teacher glared at me before turning his attention back to his clipboard calling out the names I called out a squeaky "h-here" causing the students to laugh again as I set my stuff on the bleachers. With a weak sigh I covered my burning face knowing it was dark red due to embarrassment my eye twitching as I listened to their many comments.
"What a klutz maybe she should have been put in the special class!"
"I bet she's slept with almost every boy in this school."
"Ha! You honestly think any of us would even touch her, shes so gross!"
The tears welled in my eyes before I even had a chance to stop them, biting my nails as I hid my face under my hood wishing I could be anywhere but here.
"Alright Boys and Girls Its time for dodge ball Aika, Jiro choose your teams!" The teacher yelled standing up against the wall.
15 Minutes later
Is this really necessary? I groaned internally tired of listening to the two team leaders bicker over who was going to choose me for their team.
"I said I don't want her Jiro! You have a thing for strayed with don't you take her?" Aika laughed twisting her silky black hair between her fingers glaring at me before turning her attention to the boys winking as they all agreed with her causing the snob to blow a kiss at them.
"I take in stray animals not circus freaks!"
I flinched walking over to the teacher who was preoccupied staring at the female students. Gritting my teeth I murmured out a soft "Sir" causing him to look at me glaring.
"Yeah what do you want Miya?"
"May I be excused from class?"
"Huh, oh yeah go." He waved me off turning his attention back to the girls watching creepily.
I limped out quickly before they could have the chance to through the stupid rubber projectiles at me and quickly headed up the stair and onto the roof taking a seat in the shade. Looking out across the bright blue sky.
"Yo Mi what'cha doing?" Yusuke asked jumping down from his perch on top the roof that housed the stairs.
Not saying a work I gave his a weak shrug trying to muster up a smile but the frown that weighed down my face wouldn't leave as I chipped away at my black nail polish.
"Gym that bad huh?"He asked sitting next to me reclining against the building Yusuke's arms behind his head staring at me from the corner of his eyes.
"I'm g-gonna skip c-class un-until after l-lunch." I murmured timidly Yusuke nodded closing his eyes.
"So who was stupid enough to hit you anyways Mi?"Yusuke asked quietly I could tell that he wasn't very happy about the whole thing but was restraining himself for my sake.
My eyes widened as I silently touched the bruise chewing on my lip as I scolded myself for not covering it up. "D-don't worry Yusuke," I murmured quietly, "I-I d-deserved it."
He frowned but remained silent watching as I flipped through my sketch book occasionally couching and hacking into my arm.
"Mi you know I'm your friend right? You can tell me anything" Yusuke gave me a goofy smile pinching my uninjured cheek, I couched again swallowing back the blood before laughing and nodding at him grateful to have such a loyal friend as Yusuke the supposed mob boss who could summon baddies with just a whistle.
We talked as usual until the lunch bell rang standing I smiled picking up my bag, "I'll catch you later Yusuke." I called smiling at him before heading downstairs.
Yusuke's POV
I frowned watching as Miya closed the door Hiei jumped back onto the roof as I turned around. "One of your friends detective?" Hiei asked throwing another case file my way.
Looking through it for a moment I nodded, "yeah something like that though she's more of a sister than anything." Looking up I found Hiei gone just as Keiko bust through the door.
"Yusuke Urameshi! You need to stop skipping class!" Keiko grabbed me by the ear dragging me downstairs though I didn't hear half of it staring down at the blood on my hand wiping it away before Keiko could notice as she shoved a lunch into my hands.
"I made you lunch today so I don't have to hear you complain about the school food."
I smirked at her, "hopefully it isn't burnt this time."
"YUSUKE!" She yelled slapping me.
Miya's POV
I grabbed an apple paying for it with the last bit of money I had trudging over to my normal sitting spot under the tree chuckling and shaking my head as I listened to Keiko yell at Yusuke and nearly slap him out of his chair.
There was something I found mesmerizing out willow trees I could never pinpoint it as I played with one of the long tendrils that blew gracefully through the wind some of them catching in my hair.
Pulling on my headphones I listened to some music as I ate winching at every twinge in my jaw not noticing the red eyes staring at me from the tree closing my eyes I sat back and sang along the stutter in my voice disappearing and I went along with the song.
Opening my eyes I yelped loudly and fell backwards onto the trunk of the tree staring wide eyed at Kuwabara who sat in front of me, he laughed scratching the back of his head sheepishly, "hey Mi, didn't mean to scare you but I thought you might like some company instead of sitting by yourself all the time." Kuwabara plucked a few blades of grass, "could you sing another song Mi-chan?" He whined.
Smirking at him I through the apple core at him bouncing it off his forehead chuckling, "no especially since you decided to scare me." Picking the remains of the apple back up I threw it away ignoring his whining pleas stepping back into the school just as the bell rang.
I spaced out the entirety of English class and sat at a table by myself in art happily drawing a phoenix, enjoying the only class I really cared for in this forsaken school.
After school I dragged my seemingly fifty pound bag down the sidewalk before being stopped by Kuwabara and Yusuke, "Heya Miya what'cha doing?" Kuwabara asked curiously as I grunted trying to pull the back over my shoulder before falling over face first onto the ground Yusuke helping me up.
"Nothing just trying to lug home fifty pound worth of homework crap." I replied smiling tiredly at him
"You uh, want some help?" he asked as I tried picking it up again my arms shaking.
"No its okay I'll make it home you guys go have fun, if I'm free later I'll come hang out."
Nodding the boys ran off Yusuke pulling Keiko along for whatever mishap awaited the two.
Walking I ignored the pain in my back I swear I'm going to be a hunchback before today is out… grumbling softly I jumped out of the way as a red car nearly hit me it belonged no none other that queen bitch face herself who threw her half finished drink at me spilling it all over my shoes.
After an hour I finally completed the sticky walk home gagging on the smell of stale beer and cigarettes as it assaulted my nose quickly trying to get upstairs a hand grabbed a hold of my arm tightly, my so called father wrapping a hand around my throat as the other wandered lower into the front of my pants. "Miya, where do you think your going sweetheart?" He whispered his disgusting breath on my cheek as I allowed the tears to run down my cheeks as the man shoved me onto the couch. "That's a good girl," he whispered as he unbuttoned his pants staring down at me with predatory eyes.
