You Get Me
Chapter 3
Kina threw the last article of clothing into the washing machine then stumbled into her room, her books spread out on the floor. She had gotten home, done her homework and was now finishing up the laundry. The red head's mouth opened wide as she yawned then flopped onto her bed, landing sprawled out. "Hello Tama." She said as the orange kitten rubbed his face against her shoulder. "I'm so tired, I miss Yue and everybody...I'd like to talk but I can't...right...now..." She managed to mutter as her eyes slowly closed and soon she was asleep.
Tama purred as he jumped at Neko, the two cats now playing on the carpet. They both hid under the couch as the door unlocked and clicked. Yue, Nuriko and Hotohori stepped into the house. The quiet haven creaked as a breeze pushed against the wooden walls.
"Is anyone home?" Yue called out softly as he peered into the kitchen.
"No one down here." Nuriko turned to Hotohori who was petting Table. The purple haired bishonen rolled his eyes and held back a chuckle.
Yue opened the master bedroom door to see Kina asleep on their bed. A tender smile formed on his lips as he thought to himself, "There's my sleeping beauty."

Kina looked around. "Where am I?" She said out loud, her words echoing in the darkness that surrounded her.
A chilling voice whispered behind her, sending tingles down her spine, "Beware." It hissed.
"Who's there?!" She spun around to find nobody near her.
"Beware." It said again.
"Beware of what?!" She angrily questioned.
"Beware of what lies ahead. Trust no one." The voice replied as it began to cackle in laughter.
"Tell me more!" Her pale skin trembled as she tried to reach out into the darkness, feeling slim on her fingers. She began to run through the black setting, feeling the color touch her, leaving a slim like goo on her body. "Get it off!" She screamed as she tried to run faster.
"BEWARE!!!" The voice wheezed as it began to sound closer to her. A bony hand grabbed onto her shoulder, hard. And it hurt.
A scream escaped her lips. She jolted awake.
"KINA!! KINA!!! Wake up!! It's OK!" A loving voice now said to her gently. Yue's warm arms wrapped around her as they cradled her close to him. Sobs escaped her lips as Kina buried her face in his chest and cried. "It's ok, it was just a dream." He whispered into her ear.
Her eyes surveyed her surroundings. She was back home in Yue's arms. Everything was ok. It was just a dream. But it felt so real...and that creepy voice.
"Are you ok now?" Yue looked into her eyes, love illuminating from his along with worry.
"Y-yeah. It w-was just a nightmare..." She managed to sputter. "I don't want to go back to sleep. I'm going to get a shower." Kina smiled at Yue reassuringly, telling him once again that she was ok. She felt slimy and she needed a shower.
"Ok, if you need anything just call. How was school?" Yue released Kina as she got up and proceeded towards the bathroom.
"It was fine." She replied then turned and shut the bathroom door.
Her red hair was plastered around her face as she stared at herself in the mirror. Beads of sweat dotted across her forehead as her mascara was running from her tears. Her shoulder hurt strangely, it felt sore. She carefully pulled her shirt off to find deep purple bruises on her shoulder. In the shape of fingers. Kina's bottom lip quivered as she held in another scream. She stepped closer to the mirror, touching the bruises to make sure they where real. When she winced in pain, she acknowledged them as being real. But that was impossible, right? It was just a dream! Dreams can't hurt you...right?
"You sure you're ok?" Yue yelled through the door to her.
"Yeah." She smiled to herself. "I'm so lucky to have someone like Yue who cares about me so much and loves me for who I am." Kina sighed happily, letting the dream slip from her memory. At least for the time being.
~*~
"Ugh!! More homework!" Kina complained at the breakfast table as she quickly ate her pancakes, her backpack waiting for her at the door. "Now I understand why I didn't mind dropping out!"
"But remember, it's for a better future." Yue looked at her mischievously with a smug grin as if he knew everything.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes as she gave Yue a peck on his cheek.
"Aww, how cute. So what names have you come up with for the baby?" Nuriko asked, "I was thinking if it's a girl, Nuriko or a boy, Nuriko. If you have another boy, how about Hotohori?" A cheesy smile widened across Nuriko's face.
"Sure!!!!" Kina burst out laughing then grew serious, "I was thinking, if a girl, Rose Marie. Or a more traditional name, something like Atatakai which means warmth or Yasashii which means kind."
"I like those." Hotohori nodded as a frosted flake stuck to his lip.
"You got a little..." Nuriko wiped the flake away and ate it, giggling.
"Do you have any ideas Yue?" Kina turned towards the white haired bishonen. She hadn't thought of any boy names yet.
"I haven't been thinking about it yet." He looked happily at Kina and then at her stomach, his smile widening.
"HOLY CRAP I'M LATE!!!!!" Kina sprang up from her seat as she looked her watch. As fast a lightening, she was out the door on her way for school.
Hotohori looked at the dust trail that was left behind in the house and muttered, "I've never seen her move so fast..."
~*~
"S-sorry Mr. Whitney! It won't happen again, I promise!" Kina pleaded to the English teacher that was yelling at her.
"Second day and already tardy! I'll be lenient but next time you get a detention." He directed her to her seat and began speaking about the play, "Romeo and Juliet. We will be doing this play for the school also. And everyone in this class will participate for a grade." He stated.
"Hey Kina!" Max flashed a smile at her, "I was wondering, can I have your phone number? Just incase I forget the English homework or I'm absent."
"Sure!" Kina replied but as she reached for a sheet of paper to write on, something caught her attention.
"I heard she's already married and is pregnant." A snobby looking girl turned and whispered to her friend.
"Yeah, same here. But I heard they only got married because she got pregnant." Her friend replied, giving Kina a dirty look from across the room.
Kina angrily bit her lip so hard it began to bleed. Standing up, she screamed, "That's not true! We're in love!!!!"
"KINA! GO TO THE OFFICE RIGHT NOW!" Mr. Whitney hollered, his face turning red, "Stay there until you learn to control your temper."
"FINE!" She screamed back at him, stomping towards the door while trying to ignore the giggling girls who had been talking about her.
"And for that snappy remark, you'll have the honor of playing Juliet! Unless anybody else does, I say Miss-Loud-Mouth should play one of the hardest roles. Obviously, she knows tons about love, as she said just now." He sneered at her as she ran out of the classroom now, wiping tears from her cheeks.
"Harsh." Someone quietly muttered in the back of the classroom.
~*~
"I don't care what they think of me!!! All I need to know is the truth and the truth is that those rumors don't matter. Not to me at least!!! They don't!" Kina repeated to herself as she sat in the principal's office.
"So we had a little outbreak in class, did we?" The same chubby woman from before walked into the room.
"I'm so sorry. I-I've been under some...erm...stress lately and some girls where making fun of me and..." But Kina was cut off.
"Don't make excuses. I told you this would be hard, now shape up or fail and drop out again. If you want to succeed then put a little sweat and blood into your work. Nothing is gained without loss, and if you want to get your diploma, you must be willing to put your reputation on the line young lady."
"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again." Kina took in a deep breath.
"Good, return to class now." With the wave of a hand, she dismissed Kina.
"T-thank you so much!" Kina let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want Yue or anybody else to know what happened and the principal had let her off with a simple warning. So she did have somebody on her side, somebody at the school who had faith in her. The principal, and she guessed Max. Two is better then none, right? She knew she had Yue, Nuriko and Hotohori on her side but they had no idea what high school was like. They had all been raised and taught at home, never enduring the things that can happen at a school. It was like something special she could talk about with Max, something they could both relate to. This had been her lucky day, or so it seemed...
Yet another story...
Yue glanced at her smile, a smile spreading across his face. Then it stopped.
Yue: KINA! STOP EATING MY DOUNUTS!!
