-BANG-
'Here comes your deserved punishment!'
'Aaahh! Let go of me!'

Kaoru jumped up from her bed and tried to see what was happening. for a moment she didn't know where she was but her memory restored soon enough.
She saw a shade from a guy in uniform who held something or someone but she couldn't see what it was.

-Click-

The click of handcuffs sounded in her ears.
-BANG-
'AAAAHH!

'Leave him alone!'
The man didn't even give some attention to Kaoru.
Kaoru held her hands in frond of her, as if it could protect her from all evil.
The guy just received a nice fist to his cheek and now he walked obedient with the man. His head lowered.

-Donk-
The door who kept all the light away closed.

Kaoru watched the scene with scared eyes.

*What are they going to do with him? Will he return? Shall they take me too?*

It took ages, just sitting there.

She didn't hear a thing. It was dead silence.
Suddenly the door opened again.
Kaoru pinched her eyes to protect her from the light which escaped the doorway.

She heard a dull smack from a weak body falling on the ground.

'Hahaha. You are nothing without your sand, you monster.'
He closed the door again and left Kaoru and the guy alone in the dark room.

Kaoru heard the guy pant heavily.
*He really is in pain.*
She jumped from the bed and crawled to the spot where she thinks he lies down.

'Stay away from me!'

'But I..'

'GO AWAY!'

Startled, she shrinks away.

'Just stay.. away from.. me..' he panted.

He tried to get up but collapsed.
Stubbernly, Kaoru crawls back to him.

She felt the floor for some clothing but got his arm.

She tried to help him getting up but..

'Are you deaf or something?' he yelled and smacked her arm away.

'I am just trying to help,' Kaoru says indignantly.
'I don't need your help.'

'I can see that,' Kaoru wispers to herself.

Kaoru put herself down arms and legs crossed.

'Fine, Whatever.'

The guy took a deep breath and pushed himself up. He walked straight to his bed.

*He probably is here for a long time, to know what the room looks like.
It kept quiet for a while.

'Why are you trying to help me?'

'Why not?'

'…'

Silence at once.

A few hours later, Kaoru still lies on her bed, staring to the ceiling.

Suddenly, the door opens again.

She narrowed her eyes again against the light.

'Kaoru?'

'Yeah?'

'Come here.'
Obediently, she walks to the door.

The guard chained her and took her with him, back into the light.

They're walking through the huge corridor again.
'Hé, that's the girl from earlier.'

'How was your time with that freak, together in the dark?'

Kaoru didn't pay them any attention.

'Where are you taking me?'

'To the great hall. It's dinnertime.'

Ther arrived at a big door. Above stood "Canteen" written.

He unlocked the door and pushed Kaoru inside, unchained her and closed the door behind her.

Kaoru watched the man disappear and then turned around. The place was dull, boring and gray.

She still has to get used to the light but she saw tables everywhere. Some surrounded buy prisoners. Kaoru walked through the place and found the cafeteria. She was very hungry so she desided to be a good girl and get some food. She took a tray and joint the queue.

A moment later a young little girl joint the queue too,

'Hi!,' she squeaked.

'Eh, Hi..' Kaoru answered.
'You are the new one, right?' the girl asked.

'I think so.'

'My name is Yume.'

'Kaoru.'

'Nice to meet you, Kaoru! I saw you when you were, eh, abducted to the black room.

Man screamed bad things to you.'

'How do you know I am not a bad person? Kaoru asked curious.

'Bad people may not come here.'

'Oh..'

The girl smiled while she took her plate from the waitress.

'But, what does a girl from.. How old are you exacly?'

'Eleven.'

'What are you doing here, for Gods sake?'
'Me and my mom are arrested when my Daddy refused to work along with the bad guys.'

'Oh. I'm sorry.' Kaoru already felt sympathy for the young girl.

'Where are they now?'

My mom is sitting by that table over there.' She pointed to a table on the right.
My brother may not come here because he said bad things to the guard.
'What about your father?'

'My father isn't here anymore.'

After two hours Kaoru returned to her black cell. The guard kinda trew her inside.

'Auwch!'

The door behind here was already closed.

She moaned while she got up and crawled back to her bed.

It was quiet for a while, till she heard him cough.

'Eh, what did they do to you? Are you bleeding?
Kaoru looked up suprised.

*First he act like a jerk and now he is worried? What the heck?*

'I was allowed to get some food.'

'Oke.'

Silence again.

Kaoru grows kinda crazy because of the silences all the time!

Just when she wanted to start a conversation she heard a weird sound.

'Wha-,'

'Sorry.'

'What was that?'

'My stomach.'

'Are you hungry?'

-No answer-

'Pfff' Kaoru sighed.

And again his stomach growled.

'Wait, I got something for you,' Kaoru says.

She heard him turning around on his bed.

'I smuggled some food. I don't think that they are so nice to give us food on proper time. And after hearing your stomach growling like that, I know I'm right.

She took a small box from inside her garment and shove it to the other side of the room.

She heard him taking the box from the floor and open it.
'Thanks.'

'You're welcome.'

He slowly began to eat.

Kaoru listen how he ate all the food.

When he was finished he put the box underneath his bed without saying a word.

'What's your name?' he asks suddenly.

'Eh, Kaoru.'

'Kaoru,,' He repeated quietly.

'And you? They already said your name but I didn't pay attention, so.'

'You don't need to know.'

*I just have him some food and I get thing for return? Jerk..* she thought indignantly.

'And why not?'

'I don't want to make your time here even more miserable.

Kaoru thought about it. *More miserable? Why's that?*
'Please?'

-Sigh-

And silence again.

Surly, Kaoru wanted to lay back down but stopped because of the sudden answer.

'Gaara.'

-Silence-..
