Ritsuka struggled to open his eyes. Why is it so bright? he thought to himself. This isn't my bed, its too soft.

"Wh-where am I?" he asked.

"Glad you're awake, you had me worried for awhile there," an unfamiliar voice said.

Ritsuka started to sit up, to locate the source of the voice.

"Careful!" said a blond man, and the source of the voice, the man ran over and guided him back to lay down. "You were injured pretty bad. Mind if I ask what happened?"

"W-who are you?"

"Oh! Right, my name is Agatsuma Soubi, and you are?"

"A-Aoyagi Ritsuka."

"Well, Ritsuka, would you please tell me what happened, so I can help."

Ritsuka looked down. "I'm not really supposed to talk about it, but I can't go home. Do you know anywhere that I could rent an apartment?"

Soubi looked at the boy He couldn't be any older than twelve, he thought. "I have an extra room. You could stay here."

"What?"

"I was going to have you stay until your wounds were better anyway, so why don't you just move in after words." Soubi suggested. "You don't you think about it in the mean time and tell me once you're fully healed, then decide."

Ritsuka nodded. "Alright."

Soubi smiled. "Why don't you rest up for a while, then I'll bring you some food. What school do you go to? I'll call them and let them know you'll be out sick.

"Just the local middle school."

"Alright," Soubi patted Ritsuka's knee, I'll be back soon."

He walked out into the living room, and diled the number for the school. After a few rings, a young sounding woman answered the phone.

"Hello?" she chirped, happily.

"Hi, do you have a student by the name of Aoyagi Ritsuka in your class?"

"Yes, but may I ask who is asking, and why?"

"I found a boy in the park, he was badly injured, who said his name was Aoyagi Ritsuka, and I just called to let you know he wouldn't be in school for awhile."

"Oh my! What happened?"

"I'm not entirely sure, he won't say exactly, but I think his mother did it to him, based off of what he said at least. That being said, I don't feel comfortable sending him home, so he's going to be staying with me."

"Alright I understand, please contact us if you need anything at all."

"Alright," Soubi replied before hanging up.
