'Sakuya, welcome' he said as he opened the door, surprised to see his old friend. He never usually came over without a heads-up or something. Taking in his form, he noticed the swollen eyes, eye bags underneath. His disheveled hair. He surely wasn't planning this.

'Come in'

'Thanks, Yuu'

As he walked in, he saw Patricia sitting on the couch. She walked over with a smile on her face and patted him on the back. 'Hello, sakuya! Long time no see old pal.' That was followed by a lot more pats on the back, hard not to mention, and some laughs, which were not really necessary... 'Ahmm,' Yuu [Hirose] coughed as he latched her away from him.

He looked over at him again with kind eyes as he welcomed him in. 'Have a seat Sakuya. How've you been' he said as he seated himself on the couch opposite to the one he was sitting on. 'Well... To be honest, I wanted to ask you for a favor, Yuu.'

~MeanWhile~

She laid in her room, the sun setting outside, the whole apartment, quite, as the only sounds that could be heard were of the two birds that just happened to pass by randomly. Covered with a blanket, she was on her phone. Not for a second the thought of her sickly mother leaving her. The terrified voice of her dad echoing in her mind, replaying again and again.

Was it that serious? Was she that sick?...a tear leaked from her eye. Even though she was away from them for a long time, they were still the closest people in her life, most important as well...the only ones that didn't abandon her. Before she knew it her tears began to fall freely. She started scrolling on her phone once again making an attempt to distract herself from...'this'.

But it was to no avail as her mind was too filled with worry. Soon the the sky was covered with darkness as little stars shined through it. Putting her phone away, she looked through her window. Somehow, she always found the night sky mesmerizing. The beauty in it was like none other, it always seemed to calm her down, distract her from her messed up life.

She laid her head in her arms on the window sill, looking out in the sky. So dark yet so beautiful. there's no moon that's why it's dark she took a deep breath and felt herself calm down. It felt good to take a day off. No people around her who would gossip, no dumb bitches who would annoy or bother her, no detention, no classes, no worry, no nothing. It felt nice to be away from her depressing routine.

She picked herself up and stretched out on the bed. Taking a look around she noticed what a mess her room was, noodle cups all around, her uniform crumpled up in the corner, books spread on her desk and... Blood stains. She sighed, then called the maid in. Knowing that the room would be clean, she grabbed the towel and headed to the shower.

She slowly peeled her clothes off, placed them in the basket, and turned on the shower. Warm water dripped from her face, down to her body. It felt relaxing. She stretched her arm to grab the soap and saw the marks. So evident they were, some were fresh while the others were old, but it didn't matter. No one would see them, no one would ever find out.

...I dunno if what I'm writing is good or not, be gentle T~T

She came back to the room and let out a sigh of relief. Drying her hair she sat herself in the bed. She picked up her phone and proceeded to put it on charge, deciding that she'll sleep in early when her dads contact popped up on the screen. It wasn't even a second ring before she picked up the call.

'Hell-'

'H-hello, d-dad. How's mom, is she okay. She'll be fine right, what's wrong with her..'

'Misaki... ' there was a long pause after he said that as if controlling his voice from cracking up.

'D-dad?'

'Misa, you'll be staying over at a friends house these few days... '

'B-but why, dad I'm fine here-'

'Please misa, just this once so I know your safe, please...'

'Da-

'It's better if you pack up now, you'll only need your clothes and toiletries, it's not exactly a house but a big apartment so you'll be comfortable. It'll be to your liking I promise.'

'...'

'Misaki?'

'Ok...but what's wrong with mom?'

'I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now'

I dunno sakuya's character that well so I dunno how's he like in a serious situation. I mean he was only in 3-4 chapters so... :P

'they'll be coming to pick you up in an hour so be ready till than, take care'

And with that, once again with no information about mom, he closed the call. Why wasn't he telling her what was happening to her mom. What was it that he couldn't tell her. She sighed. There was no use in 'calming down', life just was this way to her. Never giving her a chance to collect herself, what was the point in taking these few days off.

One day of rest and the next she's in this state and have to move out. 'Just great' she thought. Sighing once again she begin to pack up. Pj's, toiletries, cellphone, charger, uniform... Uniform? She thought it over. It wasn't like she had any plans to go to seika but she put it in, just in case. Even if it was dirty and crumpled. The school bag, notebooks, stationary. Her undergarments which for some reason we're all black and some lacy :3

She began to wonder again, did she need any dresses to go outside and stuff. She didn't go outside much so she only had two to three dresses, her closet was mostly filled with pj's and nighties. almost the same thing. Seeing that she had no need, she just put one in, just in case, and packed her suitcase. Looking around one more time, she ended up in the bathroom.

Walking to the sink, she looked herself in the mirror. Such a tired face, ugly not to mention that's how she saw herself who would even want to look at this. Her eyes, huge bags underneath, dull ambers, who would wanna look at this. Her eyes wandered off to the 'friend' that was laying on the counter. Her eyes darkened at the site. 'One cut won't hurt right?' 'Just one' 'one' 'just one' 'maybe more'

Her hands shakily went up to it, picking it up, bringing it slowly down to her arm. "Just one". Just as she was about to, her pen an inch away from her paper she so gracefully was to draw on, a loud noise echoed the place. She startled a bit, cutting her finger tip. 'The doorbell' she thought. She paced to the door, ignoring the painful yet somehow satisfying sting on her finger, leaving behind a trail of drops as she rushed.

Opening the door she was greeted with two faces, warm blue and emerald green eyes. Such a warm welcoming look on their face that warmth somehow covered her heart, spreading through her body. 'Wierd yet somehow so familiar' she thought.

"That was fast" said the blonde lady, smiling an oh-so-cheerful smile. Her eyes wandered down to her hand, seeing it, bleeding?!

"Oh my god, dear what happened to your hand" she said as she took it in her own, making her jerk back a little from the physical action.

"Uh-oh, um it's nothing. *fake smile, somehow not too* come in." She said taking her hand back and gesturing them to come in.

"Thank you. Shouldn't you do something about that, dear."

"Misaki, Misaki Ayuzawa. And it's nothing for you to worry about"

"I'm Patricia and he's-" "Yuu, Yuu Hirose, you should bandage that up, it's deep" he spoke with a deep caring voice. Her eyes slightly widened, an action not gone unnoticed by him. He smiled at her as he gestured her to sit in the couch. She did as he got up, asking her about the first-aid box.

He came back quickly, taking gently and caring-ly in his hands her own, putting on a bandage so lovingly on the cut. do NOT take this the wrong way, it's just fatherly love thing uno :P, though I doubt any of you did. A sudden sob, just one as tears, only a few, just ran down her cheeks. Though her face was just surprised, wide eyes and an emotionless expression. Patricia seeing this suddenly brought a hand up to her cheek, wiping them off, looking at her with a surprised look.

"What's wrong" "huh?" Noticing what just happened she brought her hands quickly up to her face and wiped them off. 'What the hell is wrong with me'. Yuu stood up ruffling her hair, smiling at her.

"He might've told you already but we're here to take you to the your new apartment. " smiling at her, he moved to her suitcase and picked it up, walking out the door, while Patricia took her with her. Misa locked the door keeping the keys with her since she thought that she'll come back eventually and followed behind, thinking that she maybe should've changed into something more formal but she let it go, it didn't matter anyways.

~Time Skip~

"So... This is the apartment?" She asked in a emotionless voice.

"Yeah, it's where my son lives. I don't know if he told you or not but you'll be living with our son, but don't worry. He won't be a bother to you and on the plus side, he cooks really well." Patricia said cheerfully.

~Meanwhile~

All day he had waited for her but she never showed. He went in her class to check if she was there, in break he searched her class, the cafeteria, the school grounds, the gymnasium, he even waited in the roof hoping that she would come, so he could ask her and comfort her, but the whole day passed and she was nowhere to be seen. Why were her matters troubling him?

Why did he care? It wasn't his problem if she was going through hard times than why did he care when he had never before? Deep down, he still knew but every time he chose to ignore it. The care, the worry, the... 'love', it was all for her. That's true, he found her amusing, those little emotions she showed, that cute face she made whenever she blushed, those sweet and soft expressions of hers...

He loved her and he knew that, he didn't love her just because she was amusing or different than the others, he loved her because of her and that was something new to him. He cared for her and wanted to help her but no matter how much he did, there would always be a wall around her that he couldn't break. He had so many questions for her, so many answers he needed.

He had always heard the girls gossiping about her and he wanted to know why she was hated. That day, the blood on her arm. That croak in her voice, the pain in her eyes, it for some reason broke him. He looked down in his hands and saw them shaking and didn't get the reason why. But what couldn't be helped, couldn't be helped.

"Two days already..."

He sighed, wishing that he had seen her today, he proceeded to make himself a cup of coffee. It was done and just as he was about to pour it, unexpectedly the door bell rang. Not being in much of a hurry, he filled his cup, making a delicious cup of cream coffee. The scent was delicious and it looked like it was made by a professional chef not that he was any less than one

The doorbell rang again and he just groaned inwardly, walking toward the door reluctantly with the cup of coffee in his hand. He wasn't expec- "takumiiiiii" Patricia said as she clung onto him, kissing him mercilessly on his cheek. Misaki just stood there watching them as a soft giggle escaped her lips that soon turned into a small laugh.

Usui who was surprised to even see her here was mesmerized by her soft laugh that died down as quick as it started. She apparently didn't see the face of the young man yet. "Mom, let go" "aww but my taku is sho cuteeeee" she said as she tried to clung on to him again but he stopped her with his hand, keeping her at a far distance.

Hirose patted her head inviting her inside, Lots of head-pats, am I right? (~ ~)~ passing the lovely mother and son by, she saw him, staring at her. Her little surprised expression mirrored his. Guess he didn't know about this either. She shrugged it off and tried to act like it was nothing but it still bothered her. Life just hated her that much, huh?

He took her to the couch and gestured for her to sit down. Latching Patricia away from takumi, he came back and motioned for him to sit too, besides Misaki. And so he did, reluctantly, but he did.

"Taku dear, Misaki here will be staying here with you"

He was shocked and he tried to reason with her

"Mom but-"

"Now now dear, her dad, who's our old friend, came to us with a... Request you can say and we can't deny him his-"

Yuu coughed at the moment

"Misaki dear, let me drop you off to your room"

He offered, an offer she accepted quickly as she wanted to get away from him. When they both went to the room she Patricia put on a serious face, the one he couldn't and was afraid of to defy.

"As I was saying it was her dads wish for us to take care of her and so she'll be staying here. she looked at him dead serious you better take care of her takumi. She's fragile from what I've seen" her eyes had a hint of pain and worry mixed with tenderness and care for her, she was still serious but her eyes softened a bit

"Mom, I can just have another apartment as she can stay here if it's just about you taking care of he-"

(Yuu) "did you like your room?" *smile*

"Yeah, it was nice" she tried to smile back but she couldn't. He just whispered a 'you don't have to force yourself' and than she had that tender look in her eyes as she than thanked him and they both walked back to the living room.

"Yuu dear, shall we leave now?" She said ignoring what takumi was saying before.

"Yes, I suppose we should. Take care of yourself, misa." He said ruffling her hair once again and than nodding to takumi that they'll now be leaving.

"Byeee taku dear and misa-chaaan, muah" she blew a kiss and they both walked out closing the door behind them. Then whole apartment was then left in silence as they both stood on their places. She decided to break it whispering only something along the lines of, 'don't disturb me' and then she went back to her room.

He walked towards the couch and sat down on it, deciding wether he liked the fact that she was here or hated it. He sighed and proceeded on drinking his coffee that somehow hadn't cooled down. He went back to his room with it and started reading a book, just trying to distract himself from the situation at hand, soon deciding that he would just have to deal with it.

Meanwhile, Misaki flopped down on the bed, a hand covering her eyes. Why do bad things always happen to her. Why did everything hate her so much. She groaned, loud enough that he, who happened to be in the next room heard it. She decided to just sleep and put all her stuff in its place in the morning. As she was lying down she felt something in her pocket.

Proceeding on checking what it was, she put a hand in and found her 'friend'. She brought it out and held it up in her hand, while she was laying down. She smiled, a bittersweet smile, "you never leave me, do you"

She put that on the counter and turned off the lights. Life was gonna be hectic and she knew it was gonna be troublesome...

Pretty bad I know but I tried my best T~T
