"My girl is in the next room, sometimes I still wish it was you. I guess we never really moved on."

Mana walked down the hallway, ignoring the pain in her shoulder. Her eyes were red from cry and lack of sleep.
"Hey Mana!" greeted Kisara. Her blue hair hung around her face and she had shining blue eyes.
"Hi Kisara.." he mumbled tiredly.
"Are you and Bakura still fighting?" she asked.
"He keeps picking a fight with me, and I try to be good." Mana replied.
"Don't worry, me and Seto went through a point like that." She said putting her hand on her shoulder but Mana pulled away, as if she was in pain. Kisara looked at Mana suspiciously and slip her sleve down a little to see a huge bruise on her shoulder. "Mana! What happened?"
"Nothing.." she mumbled pulling it back up and trying to walk off. Kisara grabbed her wrist but Mana winced at too and Kisara saw another bruise on her upper arm.
"Bakura didn't..." she said.
"I just slipped and fell down." He mumbled.
"No, you are covered in briuses and your can barely keep your eyes open." Snapped Kisara.
"He didn't hit me, it is as I said." She said and walked away. Kisara stood with her mouth open. She found herself running down the hallway looking for the only person she knew to tell. She finally found Atemu but she collided with him and he caught her in his arms.
"Kisara! Stop touching him!" snapped Anzu.
"Sorry, Atemu I need to talk to you alone." She said, Atemu nodded and walked with her, ignoring Anzu's glare.
"What is it, Kisara?" he asked,
"It's about Mana, she is covered in bruises and I thinkā¦.not totally proven but I think Bakura hit her." She said. Atemu looked shocked and then furious.
"Where is he?" he growled, Kisara noticed his eyes looked more red than normal.
"Don't be hasty, I don't for sure but she can barley keep her eyes open and she winced at touch." She said.
"Any type of abuse is horrible to her, she just escaped her dad and Bakura knows she will be afraid about that. He can abuse her and she won't tell a soul." He said.
"Let's talk to Bakura, can I bring Seto?" she asked.
"No, I'll talk to him alone and don't tell Anzu under any circumstances!" he said striding off. Kisara knew that Atemu loved Mana. She didn't see why Mana chose Bakura over him. But now perhaps this was Atemu's chance, but she wished it didn't involve Mana being hurt in anyway.
"Bakura!" growled Atemu, as he pushed him up against the lockers.
"What are you doing?" he asked in shock, last time something like this had happened Atemu had kissed Mana on the cheek and Bakura didn't like it. But now Atemu had him pressed against the lockers.
"What is going on? Why is Mana so tired and beat up? Why is she covered in bruises?" he said, not loud enough for anyone to hear.
"We just fought a little and she is covered in bruises?" he asked, but Atemu knew a lie when he saw one.
"Look, you two have been fighting for two weeks now and Mana looks worse everyday." He growled. "If I find out you hurt her in anyway!"
"I love Mana, I would never hurt her." He said. "Look it is time you move on, she chose me! Really you look pathetic right now, trying to pin that on me. Mana loves me! NOT YOU!"
"Look, I don't if she loves me or not. I care about her well-being." He dropped Bakura and walked off. He knew something bad was going on and he would find out before Mana got seriously hurt.
