Disclaimer: I do not own Hana-Kimi (Hanazakari no Kimitachi E) but I do own my love of the characters. I am not using any of the characters to gain money or anything else. I am just releasing my pent up ideas that tend to wreak havoc in my brain while I read the manga.
This is my first fanfic I have ever posted online. No flames please! Feel free to C&C though. Thanks!

Do not read if you don't like dark stories. This isn't for the weak. You have been warned. Rated M for an attempted rape scene, and lots of blood.
The group in the living room heard soft sobbing and the deep rumbling of Sano's voice. Curiosity had peeked in groups mind. They knew Sano was the one closest to the small boy but would he be able to help? Nakatsu stared sadly at the bedroom door. He wanted to help and be the support, but he also knew that no matter how he felt he stood one step behind Sano. Mizuki would always be his friend, even if he was never the closest friend.
Umeda turned to the door and smiled, "Mizuki will be alright now." Sano can help her remember everything over time, even if it's a long hard time.
~~(two months later in the dorms. Everyone getting ready for end of the year exams.)
"AHH I'm late on my first day back!" Mizuki rushed around the dorm room looking for her books. I've got my English book, my math book…Ah what am I forgetting. I can't believe I have exams already. I don't remember much of the school work. And I have to spend so many days in Dr. Umeda's office I am so far behind.
Sano stopped her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, "Slow down. It's alright. Just do everything at your pace. Everyone understands."
Mizuki felt the familiar hotness spread across her cheeks. Ever since she realized she had forgotten her secret and accidentally told Sano she was pretending to be a boy his touch made her feel warm and embarrassed. At the time she admitted her secret he told her that he loved her. She was still unsure if it was a forever love or a love because he wanted her to be healthy again. But either way she longed to her those words again. She knew she was getting stronger each day even if she wasn't her "normal" self yet.
"Ah, your right!" Mizuki wiggled away slowly and grabbed her bag from under the desk and found her books were already inside. Maybe I'm not forgetting anything this time!
Opening the door Mizuki smiled to find all of her friends waiting for her in the hallway. Sano walked out behind her smiling as everyone was patting her on the back, messing up her hair, and giving her words of encouragement. It had been a while since the incident and each of the boys had taken to protecting their friend in their own way. Nanba and Umeda had covered for her in all circumstances with the schools and officials. Mizuki had changed since then, she wouldn't walk anywhere alone, and she wouldn't stay alone in the dorm. The days Sano had practice she would glue herself to Nakatsu, Kayashima, Noe, or Sekime. Whoever was in their room was sure to find Mizuki visiting them. Sano would go to each room after practice and carry the sleeping Mizuki back to their room. Everyone had a spare pillow and blanket for her in their rooms. Plus they all had changed their normal walking patterns to always be ready to walk her to where ever it was she needed to be.
"Ashiya will be fine. She's stronger than all of us." Kayashima waited to stand next to Sano watching them walk ahead of them laughing like nothing happened. Neither boy heard Umeda walk up behind them.
"She's fine. She's already mentally accepted the incident. She remembers everything that happened, yet she refuses to give up and go home. She hasn't had nightmares in a while now." Umeda patted both boys on the back and turned around to go back to his office. She is stronger than any of us thought. That girl is resilient.
Sano and Kayashima started walking to catch up to the laughing group of friends. Summer would be here soon. And then they would be third years. So much had happened, but they still had so much yet to do. Mizuki turned around to see her friends falling behind the group, she tilted her head and grinned waving for them to hurry up. Sano couldn't help but smile back. Kayashima waved and jogged ahead to the group.
Sano shook his head laughing and ran to stand beside Mizuki. I will never leave your side again.
I think this is a short ending,
but if someone wants to know more of the story then pester me and I will probably write more ^_^
Well it was a happy ending wasn't it? Even with a darker theme. XD
