Hatoko squirmed impatiently in her seat. The cab was moving to slow for her. She wanted to see Misaki now. "Calm down honey." Her mother said. "We'll be there soon enough."
Hatoko knew they'd be there, but she wanted to be the first to give Misaki her gift. She clutched the box, trying to keep it in perfect shape and wanted to be there first.
-------------------------------------
At the school:
Misaki tried to sleep but her eyes stayed open. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Ojiros number. She really just needed to hear his voice.
----------------------------------
With Ojiro:
Ojiro was driving towards the school, he didn't care if her mother was there or if he got arrested, he had to get to her before he did. He promised to protect her, to take care of her and her baby. He wouldn't break that promise.
He heard his phone ring and answered it. It was Misaki and she was crying. "Where are you?" he asked. "Did he hurt you?"
"No." she said, her voice shaking. "But he will…he knows I'm alone…Ojiro I'm so scared."
"It's okay." He said "I'm on my way, lock your door."
"Please hurry!" she pleaded. "I can't…" the phone went off.
"Misaki!" he said and looked at the phone; he called again even though he knew she wouldn't answer. He threw the phone into the passenger seat and sped up, Misaki needed him.
----------------------------------
Misaki felt the phone being yanked from her hand and she tensed up. "No…" she whimpered
"Shut up!" the man yelled making her jump. "Turn around." She turned around slowly and he gripped her shoulders tightly. "Whose baby is it?" he asked then looked at her stomach which was just a tiny bit bigger.
"You know it's yours!" she yelled at tears streamed down her face. "Who else can get into my room, but you!"
His grip tightened and she winced. "Did you sleep with him?" he asked. Her eyes widened.
"How can you ask!" she screamed. "Because of you…I can't let anyone touch me!"
"How can you say that Misa-Chan?"
"Don't call me that!"
"I love you!"
"I…I love Ojiro! He's going to father my baby and you will never see it!"
She felt a slap and staggered backwards. He grabbed her and pinned her to the wall and she started to struggle, kicking him hard, where is hurts.
---------------------------------
With Hatoko:
The cab pulled up to the school and Hatoko opened the door before it stopped and grabbed her present. "Hatoko!" Kotaro yelled, "Wait!" But Hatoko didn't wait, she ran up the stairs of the school and through the halls looking for Misaki's room.
Hatoko knew the room number because Misaki had written to her and told about it, elaborately describing the room. She found the 300's hallway and began to look, she was at the low 300's, and Misaki was in the high 300's.
----------------------------------
With Ojiro:
Ojiro drove to the school and saw a cab; Kotaro was there…where was Hatoko? Wherever one of the Kobayashi children was, the other was never far.
"Kotaro," Ojiro said getting out of his car, "Where's Hatoko?"
"She ran inside before I could stop her."
Up above them, there was the sound of breaking glass and a little girl screamed. Glass fell towards the ground…with something else.
--------------------------------------
With Misaki:
Misaki struggled more against her attacker and began fighting, and scratching. But he was stronger than her.
"Let me go!" she yelled. He slapped her. She cried, she was so tired of him touching her…principals weren't supposed to do that to their students. "Let me go Mr. Cane!" she yelled, he slapped her again, demanding she call him by his first name.
She heard the door slam open and they both looked towards the door
---------------------------------------
With Hatoko:
Hatoko found Misaki's room and slammed the door open. "Happy Birthday, Misaki!" Hatoko yelled happily, her eyes widened at what she saw. Some man had his hands all over Misaki.
He quickly pulled away and glared at her. "What are you doing in here!" he yelled.
"I-I'm sorry." She stuttered. "I-I t-thought." She looked at Misaki who tried to hastily fix her clothes, she looked so scared.
"This is a private room!" he scolded, making her shrink away. "Knock before you open the door! Leave!"
Hatoko couldn't move. She was so shocked. She had only a brief understanding of what was happening to Misaki, but it was enough to shock her.
The man who was in the room walked towards her and she looked up at him, scared. Misaki lunged at him and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, putting him in a choke hold.
"Run Hatoko!" she yelled. The man struggled to get Misaki off and Hatoko ran to them and started hitting him.
"Put her down!" Hatoko yelled, hitting and scratching, but the man swung at her, sending her into the dresses and threw Misaki off of him, sending her to the window.
-------------------------------------
Misaki felt the glass break behind her, she didn't know weather to move or just stay there, she looked at Hatoko and knew that she, her mother, Ojiro…everyone would be in danger if she stayed alive.
The glass cracked.
Ojiro loved her. Truly loved her and she knew he would help her, but deep down, she didn't want to burden him with a baby that wasn't his.
The glass exploded.
She felt shards cut into her arms and winced, but relaxed, knowing she would feel no more pain after this, Mr. Cane would never touch her again.
She fell backwards.
Hatoko screamed for her, but no one could reach her now. She was falling but felt as if she was flying, and she was. She was flying to freedom, to safety. She and her baby would be safe in heaven.
She hit the ground.
She felt the pain as she struck her head on the stairs, heard Hatoko's loud crying, saw Kotaro and Ojiro running towards her. She kept her eyes up, towards the sky.
She felt warm hands.
Hands she was never afraid of, hands that had protected her and given her the love she needed. She glanced at Ojiro as he called her name but it was too late for her.
She was free.
She saw darkness, then bright lights. She was safe, free. She was dying. Her freedom came at the price of her life, but she was free. He could never hurt her; her baby would never suffer knowing the truth.
She died, smiling.
