"Have you ever heard, that not being able to see makes things feel more... intense?" Kidomaru circled the poor girl who was clearly panicking in her attempts to locate him by sound alone, every time he purposely made a noise she would quickly turn and wave her cane in that direction; only to find that he had already moved away. "Let's see if that's true."

He began to close the distance, like a spider pulling in a tasty morsel stuck in its web. Waiting for Hinata to face the other way before he held out his hand and crept up on her back in an attempt to grab her shoulder, he blinked several times in surprise when a hand smaller than his own pushed his arm aside and halted his approach. Behind the dark skinned boy; even Sakon seemed to be pulling a double take as he wondered just how fast Tayuya had covered the distance to stand between Kidomaru and his blind prey, the redhead held her arms out to her sides in an attempt to block his path and scowled at him with a fiery glare none of the group had ever seen her pull before.

"Back off Kido!" She snapped as Hinata turned back towards the sudden sounds, her trembling hands holding her cane out which tapped lightly against Tayuya's calf. "I don't care what it is you're thinking, but leave her out of it." Her piercing gaze became even more threatening towards the boy as she spoke, she didn't know if it was the rush of adrenaline that came with standing up to a boy almost twice her height or the dash she'd made to get between them in time; but she could feel her heart slamming against her chest at what felt like a hundred beats a second.

Kidomaru glanced back at Sakon who still seemed to be somewhat shocked at the sudden outburst from their friend, before he looked back at her with his slimy grin still intact.

"You turning soft or something? You do realize you'll get kicked from Orochi's club if you're gonna side with the goody-goodies in the student body right?"

She knew what that meant, Orochimaru was the biology teacher but he doubled up as the club president for the so-called 'Student reformation club'. On the outside it was said to be a group for the less than fortunate students at the school to get themselves cleaned up and on the right track, but it was pretty common knowledge that it was just a means for all the scum and deadbeats in the school to gather and get drunk or high or both. Since she had come from a bad place as a kid and had less than mediocre grades; Tayuya had been invited into the club to toughen herself up and maybe prove that she wasn't as worthless as she felt, during the time spent as part of the group she'd done some terrible things to prove she was still 'worthy' of staying.

"Like I give a shit." The redhead lowered her arms slowly but kept her glare focused on the boy in front of her. "You act like it's the best thing going for us here, did you forget my first few weeks shithead?"

"Oh come on Red!" Kidomaru took his turn to frown angrily at her. "We told you there was an initiation, don't blame us because it was your first time."

Tayuya's breathing became unstable, her stomach twisting inside as she lowered her gaze towards the floor while the memories came back to her. The first two and a half weeks had felt like a living hell for her, had she any parents to go home to she likely would've been disowned if she'd told them what she had let them do to her just to be part of the group.

Just to be accepted.

Kidomaru smirked at her response, taking a step forward as he saw his opportunity. It didn't slip by Tayuya though as she reached behind her back and quickly pulled out a short but thick metal rod that was tucked under her belt, bringing it out in front of herself her thumb clicked in a small button on the object's side which caused it to extend from both ends until the metal rod reached at least five feet in length. Holding one end to Kidomaru's throat; the trembling redhead glared into his eyes, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks as she grit her teeth in anger.

"I swear, I will knock your fucking head off if you don't back the fuck off now!" Her voice was trembling but she was far from afraid, the last time she had felt this enraged had been when she had finally built up the courage to fight back after the so called 'initiation'. There was a reason only four of the group went anywhere near her after that.

Kidomaru held his hands up dismissively in front of his chest, taking his step back with an obvious cocky smile.

"Alright alright, you don't have to bite my damn head off bitch."

Tayuya loosened up as he backed away but something didn't feel right, it didn't feel like it should have been so easy to get him to stop. Waiting for him to get a good distance away she quickly turned back to check on the girl she had been protecting, her eyes widened as she saw the scene behind her. Hinata's cheeks were soaked with tears as she struggled against the hold of the silver haired boy at her back, Sakon? No it was Ukon, Sakon's twin brother who rarely showed up at school due to certain 'conditions'. He looked almost exactly like his brother save for the fact that he was slightly taller and had a much paler complexion that almost made him look like he was perpetually sick. The thin fingers of his right hand held tightly around the blind girl's mouth while his left gripped her wrists tightly together behind her back, her cane lay at her feet which tried desperately to kick out away from her captor who gave a grin more sickening than either boy before him.

"You seemed to be interested in this one brother." His voice rang out in a sadistic tone. "I hope you don't mind that I had to step in." With that same smirk on his face he brought his face to Hinata's neck, his abnormally long tounge snaking its way out to give a long, wet lick over the pale silk of her throat which caused her body to tense up as she sobbed quietly into his palm.

"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU-"

Tayuya's outraged screaming was cut off prematurely by the back of Kidomaru's hand slamming against her right cheek, distracted by Ukon's display she had taken her attention off of him to try and help which now left her crashing to the grass with a thud. She had no time to try and get back up as a firm heel to her ribs caused her to cry out in pain as she rolled about holding her side, the next hit landed somewhere on the inside of her left thigh which brought out another shout of agony from the redhead.

"It's been a long time since I heard those screams Red, I forgot what a nice ring they had to them." Kidomaru squatted down beside her as she gripped her sides in hopes it would make the pain go away. "You should know better than to get between me and my next meal, this is what happens when you push me." Tayuya scowled up at him while he simply smirked his cocky smile down at her.

"F-fuck you... You shit eating scumbag."

Kidomaru simply sighed and leaned down to give her a solid smack across the left side of her face, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up to look at the group who had Hinata walking slowly behind the shed.

"See, I thought you were one of us Red." His tone was almost taunting her. "But I guess if you still wanna stay with us, you could always go back to being like her."

Tayuya's eyes opened wide as the words hit her like a truck, there was nothing she could do but groan in pain as Kidomaru pulled her to her feet and dragged her back to the shed where the twins had already relieved Hinata of her skirt and pulled her shirt up over her chest so her matching pink, lacy underwear was on full display. Ukon held her arms against the wall with one hand and kept the other over her mouth while Sakon gripped her ankles to keep her legs apart while they took in the full view of their captured prey, Kidomaru reached the group and idly tossed Tayuya into the basket of old sports balls that sat by the shed. Pulling out a small flick-knife from his pocket he grinned back at the redhead who still had a firm hold on her aching ribs, he held the blade to Hinata's throat.

"You see this Red? This is gonna be you in the next few minutes." With that he lowered his hand and tucked the blade under the middle of the blind girl's bra, quickly dragging it up and cutting through the fabric as well as the front of her shirt with it. Hinata cried out in vain against the grip of Ukon's hand as her last shred of decency was ripped from her chest and her plump breasts bounced free in the cool air, the boys gave a joined sound of approval while the tears streamed down her cheeks and soaked the fingers keeping her quiet. "Or if you want to stick with us, you could always take back what you said and get in on this action. You're bi, right?"

The twins laughed at Kidomaru's comment while Tayuya struggled to lift her head from the tattered and dirty balls beneath her, the sickening looks from the trio of boys all focused on her as she looked over what they had done to the girl who was having the worst possible first day of school. Her head rested back against the wall while she simply continued to cry into Ukon's grip, by this point it was clear she had given up on trying to resist. The fabric of her shirt was crumpled up in two halves atop her sizable chest, the frays of the fibers that reached out trying to rejoin themselves simply flowing in the silent breeze that blew through the shade of the trees. Her skin almost looked ceramic, clean and untouched, the gentle curve of her breasts tipped by the softest of pale pink flesh which puffed out like tiny pillows on pure white mounds. Where one would expect small nubs atop those pillows, there seemed to be small slits where they tucked themselves inside, away from prying eyes.

Tayuya grit her teeth as she tried to lift herself from the pile, tiny trickles of her own blood dripped down her chin from the cut on her lower lip where Kidomaru had knocked her down. Her cheeks stung and her right eye was slightly swollen, he had hit her a lot harder than she thought at the time but she wasn't going to let it stop her.

"Need help Red?"

Kidomaru snickered as he squatted down beside his prize's legs, reaching up with his left hand he slid his hand behind her and ran his fingers down the inside of her thigh. Hinata's whole body trembled as his rough fingertips scratched over her skin, only stopping when the loud thud behind him drew Kidomaru's attention.

Tayuya lay in the dirt at Hinata's feet, looking up at her with more fire in her eyes than before as she desperately tried to drag herself closer. Kidomaru grinned and ran his hand back up the flat of the girl's thigh; headed straight for the secret spot between her legs, Hinata's head rocked back and forth as the tears flowed from her eyes and dripped down her chest. It was then Sakon released her ankles as the three of them cried out in surprised amusement, Tayuya rested her head against the ground as the last of Hinata's dignity trickled down her legs in fear. The fluid splashing into the dirt before Tayuya's face proved it, they had broken her.

"Well Red." Kidomaru reached down to grab her hair once more and pull her up forcefully with a sharp hiss of pain through her teeth, bringing her to her knees he gave her one last sickly grin. "I know I called first dibs, but it looks like she's gonna need a cleanup before I'm getting in there. Now's your chance to redeem yourself bitch." With that he gripped the back of her head and started to push her forwards, forcing her face towards the soaked crotch of the sobbing girl. Tayuya strained herself, trying to push back against his hand but to no avail. Using up the last of her strength to resist while the boys simply laughed at her, Tayuya looked up at the girl with her own tears starting to flow.

"I'm sorry... New girl..."

Her eyes closed as she resigned herself to their will, simply letting her strength fail her, knowing the group would disgrace and defile the pair of them.

A thump came from before her, the grip on her hair releasing as her face fell into the softest feeling she'd ever felt. Tayuya opened her eyes slowly to find herself face first in the chest of the new girl, tilting her head up slowly; she found that Hinata's tear stained face seemed almost calm. The girl had fainted and was now on her knees, supported upright by the redhead who was propped up against her bust. Using each other to stay up the pair were alone behind the shed, Tayuya could hear commotion from the front of the shack which sounded like a lot of shouting and thuds against the ground. She knew the sounds of a fight when she heard them.

Deciding to try and make things more comfortable for the both of them, Tayuya shuffled her head up Hinata's chest. She could hear the ragged breaths coming from the blind girl's lips as she managed to get her head over the shoulder of her classmate and into a position where both girls rested their chins on each other's shoulders. The redhead turned herself enough to see the corner of the shed in hopes of seeing who was there, whoever it was had managed to draw the whole group out to fight so they had to be good. It took a few minutes for the fight to die down to a pair of voices talking, a pair of girls chatted for a moment about something that was just out of earshot before making their way around the corner to see the leftovers of the boys' 'fun'.

The familiar blonde twin-tails of Naruko Uzumaki bobbed up and down as she made the short sprint to kneel beside the exhausted pair on the ground, behind her the stoic figure of Sasuko Uchiha walked calmly in tow.

"Aw man, those creeps really did a number on you guys..." The blue-eyed blonde reached to carefully lay the girls side by side on the ground, assisted by her quiet friend. "Sasuko, we gotta get them to the nurse's office. Can you watch them while I get some help?"

The raven haired girl nodded in response and crouched beside the unconscious blind girl, Naruko stood and turned to run back to the campus; but was stopped by a hand grabbing her ankle. Practically yelping in surprise; Naruko quickly turned back to see Tayuya gripping at her sock with her trembling hand, moving closer to kneel down the blonde touched her fingers to the redhead's wrist.

"D-don't bother..." The weary tomboy started. "Just... Get her dressed and carry her, I can walk."

The pair looked at each other for a moment before nodding in agreement, Sasuko moving to retrieve Hinata's skirt while Naruko took Tayuya's jacket at her request and slipped it on the girl to cover her exposed chest. Once properly covered up Hinata was hoisted up into a piggy-back position on Naruko's back while the quiet Uchiha girl helped Tayuya to her feet, draping the shorter girl's arm over her shoulders to support her while she held her own arm around her waist.

"Ever the fuckin' hero, eh Uzumaki?" Tayuya scoffed at Naruko, as mouthy as she was being about it she truly was grateful that the pair had arrived when they did.

"You know it." The cheerful blonde chuckled back before starting her rescue run back to the school building.

Left with the somewhat less chatty Sasuko on their long walk back, Tayuya looked about the area around the sports shed. Bloodied noses, black eyes and busted lips covered the faces of the groaning boys that had such smug looks before. All except for Jirobo who apparently had left before the attempted molestation had even started.

"Huh... I guess the fatass at least has some morals..." Tayuya thought to herself as she looked over the carnage, realizing that the girls didn't have so much as a mark on them she made a mental note not to piss the pair off in the future.

"Wait." The redhead held out her arm towards the white rod laying in the grass. "The new girl's cane, she needs it."

She could've sworn she saw something resembling a smile curl the lips of the raven haired girl before she nodded and it disappeared, turning to make their way over to pick the cane up. It took the pair near twenty minutes to hobble from the sports field to the nurse's office, by the time they stepped through the sliding door Naruko was chatting away with the school's nurse; explaining what happened. Glancing around the room Tayuya spotted Hinata's silhouette behind the curtain of one of the beds, letting go of Sasuko she started limping towards the bed until the nurse stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"You're in bad enough shape as it is Miss Hikari." She said as she tried to pull the redhead back. "Miss Hyuuga is just in shock, she'll be fine after some rest."

It took the nurse as well as Naruko to get Tayuya back to the chair for examination, as much as she wanted to be sure Hinata was okay she didn't have the fight left in her to struggle away. Sitting in the seat and getting looked over by the nurse; Tayuya glanced over at the mirror nearby, she looked a mess with a busted lip, the right side of her face was bruised and swollen and even her eyebrow had a cut down it. Her left cheek wasn't as swollen as her right but was a nasty shade of red, her hair was matted, dirty and full of old dead leaves. The nurse finished her check-up and shook her head, the short black bangs that hung just below her brow swinging from side to side as she did.

"I can't believe students could do this to one another..." As she spoke she picked up a small container full of a thick, clear substance, taking some on her fingertips she started to gently spread it over the cuts on Tayuya's face. "You have a few bruised ribs, no breaks but they'll be very sore for a while. I'll give you an ice-pack to bring down the swelling once I've finished applying a basic styptic for these cuts." The woman, who still looked fairly young herself, gave the girl a smile as she spoke. "You should be grateful that these two managed to get to you both in time, who knows what kind of state you'd be in if they hadn't."

Tayuya looked over at the pair who both stood in the doorway with their arms folded, Naruko with her usual big smile on her face while Sasuko simply remained impossible to read. The tomboy hated showing weakness but couldn't deny that they had saved her and Hinata back on the field, sensing the awkward air in the room the nurse decided to leave the girls be and go for a coffee once she'd given Tayuya the small bag of ice she needed.

"Just hit that button for my beeper if you need me." She stated as she passed the girls in the doorway, pointing to a small red button at the left side of her desk.

"Thanks Shizune!" Naruko called after her as she made her way down the hall.

"I told you not to call me that at work!" The nurse yelled back which only caused the blonde to giggle while Sasuko rolled her eyes and stepped forward; looking down at Tayuya, she held out her hand to give her the compacted cane they'd picked up on the field.

"Thanks... You guys." Tayuya said reluctantly, taking the cane from the girl's hand and looking down at it solemnly in her lap. "We were in some serious shit... Thank you." For the first time in her life she felt herself opening up, showing that despite what people said she really did care when it mattered.

Naruko stepped forward and smiled, placing her hand on the redhead's shoulder as the ice-pack was raised to her face. "You don't have to thank us, we'd do the same for anyone in trouble." She leaned in close to Tayuya's ear. "Just look after her okay? You were chosen to guide her and she did go looking for you after you left her."

Tayuya looked up at the grinning blonde with curious eyes. "She went looking... For me?"

The girls knew it would take a little while, so they pulled up a pair of seats opposite the injured redhead.

"Let me tell you what we saw."
