Abuse

Musashi wasn't blind. He saw the cuts, and the bruises. He saw every little mark on the quarterback's body, but chose to keep it to himself until everyone left the locker room, and it was just the two of them.

Hiruma! Musashi said. What are all those marks on your body?

It's nothing damn oldie! Said Hiruma in an almost incoherent voice. That just wasn't Hiruma.

He's doing it again, isn't he? Asked Musashi in a serious tone.

Hiruma didn't answer, he just finished putting his shirt on, and grabbed his bag. And what if he was Damn oldie! What could you do about it?

I would try to help! Musashi said in a worried voice.

There's nothing you can do! Just stop sticking your nose in other people's business! And with that, Hiruma slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked out of the locker room into the chilly November air.

Hiruma knew that he was later than he was supposed to be, and he knew that his father wouldn't like it. So he ran home as fast as he could go! Which is pretty fast for a high school student. But he still wasn't as fast as Sena, and he knew his father was going to say something about it.

As soon as he opened the door to his apartment, he was greeted by his father in the worst way. Not too soon after he took off his shoes, he was flung into the wall with such force that he slid down to the ground in pain. Well! Well! Look who's five minutes late! What do you have to say for yourself trash!? Said Yuya Hiruma, who was glaring down at his son.

I was at practice! Hiruma said to his father in a low tone.

Well! We have a mouth tonight! He then grabbed Hiruma's head roughly, and slammed him up against the wall again. I'm shocked that you even have any friends, with how pathetic you are! Yuya sneered.

Hiruma got out of his father's grip, and ran to his room. He then locked the door, sat on his bed, and cried his eyes out, all the while, dialing Musashi's phone number. Musashi and Kurita were his first two friends, and they were so close that they could tell each other anything. They were also the only two Hiruma wasn't afraid to cry too.

Hello! Came a deep voice on the other line.

Musashi?! Hiruma cried.

Hiruma! What's wrong?! Asked Musashi in a worried tone.

H-He did it again! Can we just talk so I can calm my nerves? Hiruma asked, almost hysterically.

Yeah! Hold on! I'll patch in Kurita! Musashi said sympathetically.

They heard the phone ring a few times until they were greeted by Kurita's cheery voice. Hello! Said Kurita.

Kurita! It's Musashi and Hiruma! Musashi said in a serious tone.

When Kurita didn't hear his other friend answer, he knew why they were calling. Hiruma! How bad did he hurt you this time?

He just slammed me up against the wall a couple of times. It's not that serious.

Hiruma! Do you want us to come and get you? Asked Musashi.

If you can get me without my father trying to kill you! Hiruma said in a hysteric tone.

We'll be right over! Musashi said.

See you in a little bit Hiruma! Said Kurita in a sweet tone.

Don't worry! We'll get you out of there! Musashi said, trying to cheer up his friend. Then they both hung up, and Hiruma began packing his bags.
