Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to post a new chapter. I was really busy with school.

I had finals and then school went hell.

But I finally post it; the next chapter won't take so long, I promise.

Have fun reading and review what you think.

Chapter II: Moving forward

Midori kept waking up; the images kept coming back of that night. Every time he got closer to her she screamed. Doctors came in and calmed her down. "Poor child," one of the doctors said. They assigned her to a clinic with girls around her age that got traumatized with being (almost) raped.

There she learned how to live with her fear and they assured her, she never would see him again. In the vacation she stayed home for a while to calm herself down. Meanwhile she worked hard on her school and worked so hard that she wouldn't have any backlogs in her third year. The vacation passed by, it was an absolute hell for Midori, but she did it.

It was already time for school and this was her second last year. Luckily she wasn't expelled. All she wanted was a fresh start and didn't want to get involved in things. Since that day with Deidara she made a promise to herself. She won't fall in love with a guy, at least not now.

Nobody dared to talk about the events with Deidara and Midori. Everything went well, she got her normal live back and all she wanted was being accepted and not seen as a monster. The time passed by and she was still feared.

But there was a girl, her biggest enemy. Midori had fought so much with her, the tension between those two was huge. She was the niece of the principal and that was the reason she always got away with so many things.

The next day Midori and Ino went to school as usual. This will be a normal day like always; Midori thought. But then they encountered Yuri in the classroom. Normally they would sit as far as possible from each other, but there was no other place.

The teacher went out for 10-20 minutes. And, there it all started. She mentioned something about Deidara and Midori couldn't handle it anymore and got up to beat her up. Yuri was fighting like a little girl only with bitch slaps and pulling hairs etc, but Midori fought with all her might. She kicked her ass with her monstrous strength into a hospital.

The students quickly rushed outside, when they saw Midori fighting. Scared to be caught up in the fight, one of them went to get their teacher. But Ino stayed by her side and took care of Yuri's friend who kept interfering.

Side by side they taught them a lesson, but Midori lost control. This time she went too far. She kept hitting, kicking and punching Yuri until she was seriously injured. Ino tried to stop her, but couldn't. Suddenly she hit Ino and then she realized what she did. She curled up in a corner crying and freaking out until their teacher rushed.

"OMG, what did I do; how did this happen? No, it can't be; they can't be death." Midori freaked out. The teacher yelled "Somebody call the alarm number, hurry."

Everybody went inside and saw Ino, Yuri and Misa lying on the ground. Some screams were heard, when they saw all the blood. One of the students had the courage to go to Midori and said, "Midori, why did you do this; how could you do this to her? Are you even a human?" Midori looked at the boy, who she recognized to be Akira.

She couldn't take this anymore and run away, but right when she wanted to run away the teacher caught her. "Midori, you have some explaining to do" the teacher said in a serious tone. And, then Ino gained back her consciousness. "Sensei, Midori did nothing wrong, Yuri started all this" she said a bit dizzy. "Ino, you don't know what you're saying. Go get some rest" the teacher said. "No, sensei. I'm perfectly fine. If Yuri didn't say anything about Deidara this wouldn't have happened" she defended Midori.

She grabbed Midori's hand and left the classroom. And, then the paramedics rushed in. They immediately took Yuri; meanwhile Misa gained back her consciousness. Down the halfway Midori started to cry. "Sorry Ino, it's my entire fault. I even hurt you. I thought I lost you" Ino looked towards her, then she embraced her in a hug and told her that everything will be alright. "Are you sure? I didn't do anything wrong?" I said sobbing. "No, you didn't do anything wrong; she deserved it!" Ino assured her. Just relax. And so they went home.

The next day Midori and Ino went to school; Midori couldn't forget what she did to Yuri. Even though she deserved it, but I didn't had the right to kick her ass into the hospital.

They went to class as normal, many people were whispering about the events of yesterday. Ino and Midori heard them saying: "Look at that monster, don't interrupt with her or anything." Midori new she couldn't do anything about this, she was born this way.

And then the bell rang signaling the classes would start. Meanwhile the teacher went inside and gavea piercing look towards Midori. "Why is everybody giving me that look; I know, I went too far, but she asked for it." Midori yelled angered. Ino tried to calm her down, but it was no good.

And then the principal called them. "Midori, Ino; my office NOW!" she said furiously. Ino looked towards Midori and she looked back. "SHIT, we are screwed" Midori said to Ino.

Once they entered her office, the principal pierced a look towards them. If looks could kill, they were already death. "Come in girls, I have a lot to discuss with you" she said. Midori and Ino looked at each other then went inside.

"Ino, Midori; this is the last straw. I've been thinking and you cause a lot of trouble for us, at first the incident with Deidara and now you kicked my niece into the hospital and I've come to a des..." she was about to say something, but Midori and Ino interrupted her. "But Rin sama we did nothing wrong!" they said in unison. "And it's not our fault that your bitch of a niece is so full of herself and keeps challenging us" Midori said. "Look at the..." Ino was about to say something, but the principal interrupted her.

"Enough is enough!" she said rising her voice. Midori and Ino never saw this side of her. They went immediately silence "You are expelled, never come back to this school again" she said fierce. "You know what principal, go fuck yourself" Midori said annoyed and was about to leave until the principal started to talk again. "Young lady, you can't talk like that to an elder" the principal said. "You don't deserve my respect" Midori screamed back and dashed the door. "She is right Rin sama, go to hell" Ino said and left after Midori.

"Mido, wait for me!" Ino yelled running after her. She finally caught up. "Hey, calm down will you!" Ino said worried. "No, I won't I need to leave this place" she said frustrated. Ino looked at her, a sight of her friend she never saw. "Since day one, everybody is giving me the same look. I can't take it anymore, why is everybody judging me only by my strength, I mean no harm" she cried out loud. I only wanted some friends, not only the students dislike me, the teachers too. It's like they know something about me, what I don't. Sometimes I really want my memories back" she cried. Ino looked at her not knowing what to do with her friend. She was crying and she never thought Midori would break like this.

In such a short time she got through so much. She was always lonely. "Then ... then you came along. I hated the thought of getting a new classmate, I thought by myself: again someone who will judge me and shut me down like everyone else. But you were the only one who saw the real me. I was so happy, I finally made a friend" Ino couldn't take it anymore and embraced her in a hug. "Mido, do you remember what I said back then; our promise. She looked at Ino with red eyes. "Yes, I do" she said.

"When it hurts to look back and you're afraid to look ahead. You can look beside you and your best friend will be there" they said in unison. "You know Ino, I really do love and never want to lose you and if I say never I mean never" Midori said crying tears of joy. Come, come don't cry. It's alright, I'm always with you" Ino said comforting her.

Their homeroom teacher came by and looked at the crying Midori. "Serves you right, I hope I never see you, you monster" he said to her. Midori was about to beat him up, but Ino stopped her. "Don't do it, he isn't worth your time" Ino said. "Yeah listen to that ugly pig of a friend, she is right you know" he said making Ino angry. "You know what, I take back what I said" she looked at Midori and nodded to each other. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" the teacher screamed.

The next morning they came to school to grab their stuff and go home. The principal called them again to their office for the last time. "Girls, this is finally the last time we will see each other, I hope you enjoy your next school" she lied. "Don't act all fake, you ugly whore" Midori snarled. "Excuse me!" the principal said. "Yeah you did hear me, what can you do, I'm already expelled" Midori said.

"Thanks to you my niece is in a coma" the principal cried. "Like I give a fuck, Midori said, you didn't even care about me, I was almost raped and I was abused, Ino was shot and the only thing you say is, you did this, you did that, my niece this, my niece that" Midori yelled out.

"At first I was really worried and scared that I killed her, but now I don't give a fuck. That bitch of a niece of yours can go to hell together with you" Midori said.

Midori looked at Ino, who gave her a disapproval look, but Midori didn't care. "I'm not sorry at all, she deserved and somebody needed to teach her a lesson" she said. "Since day one, you are a problem for us all, do you know how many teachers suggested expelling you?" she said. "I don't care, it's already done and they will ever see me again" Midori said.

Midori knew where this was going and didn't want to argue with her, so she left. "Young girl, come back here" she yelled, but Midori didn't listen and slammed the door and left with Ino.

Together they ride back home. "How am I supposed to tell my parents I got expelled?" Ino freaked. "Don't worry Ino, they will understand" Midori assured her. "I know, I just got here and next year is our senior year and this will come to stand in our student files. Universities won't accept us" she stressed out.

"Ino, you are stressing too much, just relax. Everything will be fine" Midori said. Ino still went on and on. And, then Midori slapped her. "Ino calm down will you. It isn't that bad. Everything will be fine" she said. "Thanks Mido, I shall tell them. They know what to do" Ino said coming back to her senses.

Later that day, Ino called her parents and told them everything. They got a little mad, but understood why she did it. If it was to protect her friends her parents wouldn't be that mad. Her parents suggested she should return to Konoha High. And, so they did.

My uncle and aunt where actually happy, that I finally needed to leave the house. They weren't even mad at me. My aunt went upstairs to pack my stuff with joy. Tobi was dancing and singing in joy "Midori is leaving, Midori is leaving!" My uncle didn't care, he was sitting there and told me "I'm not giving you anything and I'm not going to pay for your studies and stuff"

And the next day we left to Konoha.
