Chapter 6: The first weeks of all sufferings
When Kyon and Haruhi went to visit Itsuki on the day of the wedding, bringing Mikuru and Yuki together with them, they saw a group of doctors discussing near Itsuki's ward. One doctor who recognizes Kyon went straight to him and told him,"Itsuki ran away from the hospital in the morning. The staff failed to stop him as no one saw him escape. Plus, his wound is not at all recovered which could bring harm to him if he exert himself too much."
The doctor's testimony made Haruhi and Kyon shouted "WHAT!" in unison, Mikuru squeak in surprise and Yuki gave a slightly shocked face (which is slightly visible). Mikuru started to panic, Haruhi tried to come with suggestions that they should visit Itsuki while Kyon started talking to himself in mind that what may be the possible reason for his escape. Kyon did thought the wedding could be the main reason for his escape and felt regretful in telling him that. However, he convinced himself by stating other reasons for Itsuki's escape in order not to let him to be more panic.
-Haruhi's POV-
The other brigade members were thinking and finding out solutions for Itsuki's escape. I knew that we were at fault. We should not have told him about his girlfriend's wedding. To my surprise, tears start forming in my eyes as I think how miserable he may be now. If I did not leave him that day, I think he's already bringing me into his muscular arms, full of warm and love. I seriously regret it. I dropped to my knees and cried his name loudly. Kyon looked at in total surprise and I was later joined by Mikuru-chan.

-Mikuru's POV-
I don't why I started crying. Is it become a habit of mine to be scared of this kind of things and cry or it's there something else? And what is this feeling I'm having towards Koizumi-kun? Pity or am I in love with him? At this point in time, I felt heat rushing through my cheeks when my mind came across the word love… even though I was told not to trust him, maybe it won't hurt to be much closer to him than before since now he's depressed.
-End of Mikuru's POV-
Author's note: What the? There's a love triangle now… OK Back to the story.
Kyon told the other brigade members to follow him to Itsuki's home as he knew that the wedding must have ended and it's not likely for Itsuki to pick a fight with the groom and ruin such "happy occasion".
When the whole gang are at Itsuki's door, Haruhi straight away rang the doorbell quickly. She only received a slight nag from Kyon. Itsuki's mother opened the door and saw the gang. " Ah obaa-san, is Itsuki home? " Kyon asked. " He is. Apparently, he's not well." Replied Itsuki's mother. She gestured them to come in but Kyon said, "It's ok. We'll visit him once he's slightly stable." Kyon told Haruhi that if they come there. It will make things worse, since Haruhi could remind him of love.
"Moreover, he could force himself to smile and will keep the pain to himself and will not tell us anything to help him." Kyon added. Haruhi just nodded her head in agreement. They called it a day and went back to their respective homes.
The next day, the four members visit Itsuki. When they saw Itsuki, Itsuki just gave a weak smile that was not even properly done and they chatted for a while.
-Kyon's POV-
Koizumi must had a way bad time so I came to visit him almost everyday to check on him. Seriously, from the start, I knew that he never had a serious smiling face until he met that Mio girl. Even though he may appear to be wearing that usual plastic smile, it took way much time to smile like that as compared to how easy it is during the high school days. The constant depression made wrinkles visible to his once handsome face.
It was clearly seen that he was miserable and wanted help. Haruhi's ridiculous idea of putting Mikuru in-charge of bringing back senses to Koizumi actually worked! For the first time! Anyways, I was indeed getting jealous of Mikuru getting close to Koizumi as a normal boyfriend would. One day, I told Mikuru not to go to Koizumi and advice him. At that point of time, I felt that I was doing the right thing and out of jealousy, I shouted at him to leave Mikuru alone and not to involve her in his case. As a result, I left him in a daze with a feeling that he was definitely hurt.

-Itsuki's POV-
"Don't trouble and bother Mikuru anymore! Don't involve her in your failed relationship! Since you lose your girl, doesn't mean I have to lose MY GIRL to another guy like you!" Those words kept replaying in my head as I dropped to the level of depression where I first started. It was unbearable. I felt like killing myself. Not only did I lose my love, but I also lose my best friends! I am really useless in relationships issues.
My life was a total upside down compared to even my esper days. Seriously, I could not forget her. Whatever I do, Mio would appear in my mind. My life has revolved around her. Nothing including death could separate both of us. I kept asking myself why she rejected me and constantly blaming me for the lack of confidence which only worsened my morals instead.
My depression become greater and my life got worse when I recently attended a cousin's wedding whose wife had the name Mio. I could not take it any longer especially if the name of your beloved appeared largely in front of you.

-Mio's POV-
Ever since the wedding, I haven't been myself who freely do whatever I want. Firstly, my husband, Ikuto, allow me to keep my bass on one condition that I would not play in the HTT band anymore. As a result, I felt extremely depressed by the fact that one: that I can't play my bass with my friends and two: I can't live with the man I love for the rest of my life! I really hated this but I can't afford to disobey my brother who protected me, loved me, raised me and treated me as a sister even though I was adopted.
One night, I dreamt about Itsuki. He was leaving me, saying that he did not love me anymore. I called out his repeatedly but never once he turned back. However, halfway through my dreams or should I say: a nightmare, I felt pain; like as if someone have slapped me. I looked up and saw Ikuto furious and enraged. I suddenly remembered calling Itsuki's name. I just stared innocently but with guilt in my heart. In addition, I was scared. He started hitting my face continuously while asking who Itsuki was to me. I started apologizing but there's no end to Ikuto's anger. All of the sudden, he started unbuttoning my clothes and forcefully did it to me.
I cried out in pain. That's it. I am no longer the Mio who "innocent and pure". I had belonged to Ikuto. However, I could not stand it any longer. "Itsuki, save me." I kept pleading for my one and only knight to save me and hold me in his arms. It only made Ikuto become angrier and more violent in his act. This series of beatings continued for a while and each time I still plead of Itsuki to save me.
-End of Mio's POV-
Both Mio and Itsuki stared blankly to the window and the ceiling of their room respectively while unintentionally saying in unison, "This is just the beginning of the sufferings."
