PREVIOUSELY ON AWAY FROM HOME:

"I can't believe he denies it!" Kento said as he slammed the wall of the laboratory. "'Oh that's just Rowen playing a practical joke on you all. I bet he's having a blast over there.' What was that all about! I guess not being with Rowen most of his life makes him dull." Sage said. "Look, Rowen's parent's are not going to help us on this. We have to do it on our own and get Rowen back here." Ryo said. "You got that right." Kento said.

As they walk south to the main street, they weren't aware of the shadow of someone looking at them from the laboratory. "You four don't know how much I miss my son. You may think that I don't care, but I do. Some day I will bring my son back. But it have to be with time itself." Mr. Hashiba said before shutting the curtains and going back to work.

AND NOW CHAPTER 5:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ARIZONA:

Rowen and Andy walked up the hallway of the library after doing massive study on human psychology. "Man why does Mrs. Penn does this to us??" Andy asked. Rowen sighted as well shaking his head. "Donno. I guess because we are in higher level of study than those in public school are. Man am I slipping from my studies." He said. Andy stopped and looked at Rowen. "The Rowen, Touma, Hashiba slipping in his studies??" He asked wide eyes.

Rowen shook his head. "Hai. Mrs. White called me up yesterday after class to show me what improvements I've done. Tell you what, she put my studies in a line graph. And man did I slipped from Psychology, Math, and Science." Rowen said. "Wait a minute. Why?" Andy asked. Rowen sighted. "Well, I kind of homesick you know. I miss my family, my friends, my sensais hollering at me, I miss my favorite dish. I miss my clothing styles, I miss it all." He said as a tear slipped down his cheeks. Andy sighted. "You and me both. I miss my home in Seattle Washington. I miss going to the basketball game every season, I miss hanging out with my buds and doing pranks to our neighbors, I miss my mama's cooking, I miss my father's snores, I miss all of it and it's just because I got into a little argument with a teacher then accidentally flipped the bird. I even miss my favorite TV show, Dawson's creek." He said.

After leaving the library doors, a huge shadow appeared and it almost scared Rowen to hell. "Well well, if it ain't dorky and dorker." The boy name Jerry said. "Cut it off Jerry, we're in no mood in playing kick the smaller people." Andy said. "Cut it off Jerry" Jerry mimicked which caused his whole gang laughing. Rowen stood in a karate defense stance. "Ohhhhh…..The nerd is gonna beat us up boy's. I think I'm gonna wet myself." Jerry said and again, had his gang laughing. "Aww you better believe it." Rowen growled. Andy placed a hand on Rowen's shoulder. "Don't do it Ro. You beat them up and you will be the one punish by Mrs. White." He said, as he looked straight ahead. Rowen looked to where Andy was looking at and saw Mrs. White walking to their direction.

"YOU are right Andy. Let's get the hell out of here." Rowen said and glared at the bullies. "You watch your back." He sneered before walking away. "Oh no. You watch your back outsider." Jerry hollered. Rowen sighted. The tensions on beating the bullies were getting to him. "TOUMA HASHIBA!!" Mrs. White hollered. Rowen groaned to the name. "Yes ma'am?" He asked. Mrs. White Yank Rowen's arm to her. Causing him to wince. "I got a report from a class mate saying that you have written a threat in the men's room." She sneered. "Nani??" Rowen asked. "TALK ENGLISH!" Mrs. White yelled at him and slapped him.

"Ro-" "DON'T GET INTO THIS CONVERSATION MR. CHESNUT OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE SAME CONSENQUENCES!" Mrs. White roared. Andy backed away. Rowen looked at Mrs. White shocked as he held his tears in check. "Mrs. White I haven't done anything." He said. "Then why is it that there is proof's in the restroom Mr. Hashiba?" Mrs. White asked. She pulled Rowen by his ear and dragged him to the school building. "Rowen!" Andy called out. He knew it wasn't Rowen's doing. Obviously it was Jerry and his gang doing.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mrs. White dragged Rowen to the bathroom where the writing was. She tossed Rowen to the floor, hearing the 'thump' of Rowen's body hitting the pavement. Rowen looked up to see the writing. 'Watch your back cause I'm coming after you American punks.' Was written on the wall. Rowen looked at Mrs. White innocently. "I haven't' done this Mrs. White. Honest." He said. "But you are the only immigrant in this school Hashiba. No one else could of write it. Plus we got eye witness who said they saw you writing it." Mrs. White said

She tossed a blue rag and placed a bucket filled with water in front of Rowen. "Now I want you to clean this writing off the wall. And when you do, report to my office immediately for more discussion." Mrs. White said as she began to leave. Rowen stood up and rubbed his injured cheek with care. "I hate my new living." He muttered.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Next day:

Andy looked both ways in hope to find Rowen walking down the halls. All day he hasn't seen Rowen and it scared him deeply. He didn't went to class and he wasn't in his room at all. 'Where is he??' Andy thought to himself. Finally with in minutes, Andy saw Rowen exiting the principle's office. His face was filled with black and blues and the once sparkling eyes were now dull without life. "Rowen!!" Andy called out. Rowen didn't answer him and kept on walking to the direction of the next class.

Andy raced up to him and placed a hand on Rowen's shoulder. "Rowen are you okay?" Andy asked. Rowen looked to the direction of where the voice came from. Yet he didn't looked eye-to-eye at Andy. "Nope." He said as he kept on walking. "Rowen, about yesterday, I'm sorry about it. " "You are not sorry Andrew. You left me to take the punishment alone. My TRUE friends would be there for me even if they have to suffer with me. Those that I left back in Japan are my true friends." Rowen said. "Rowen, I-" "You don't have to explain me nothing Andy. We are no longer friends." Rowen said as he pushed Andy aside.

Andy looked sadden at his only friend who went through a bad night. 'I'm sorry Rowen. I am a coward to face my fears.' He thought before following Rowen to their Psychology class. He knew that Mrs. White has abuse Rowen physically. But no one dared to tell the authorities because of fear of what Mrs. White can say in defense and then get paid twice as hard that the first time. Once that happen. A kid told his dad about being abused by Mrs. White. He came over and talked to her and she cleared her name saying that she never has touched the child. That the child was trying to accuse her for nothing. After the father left, Mrs. White called for the child to enter to her office only to be taken to an abandon attic where there was a closet and put the kid in there. He was found dead within days. Mrs. White cleared her name by saying that she just recently talked to the boy's father and haven't' seen the child since then. 'God I hope Rowen doesn't go through what Theodore went through' Andy thought.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Japan:

"So any way, Mrs. Mioko got upset with Suzuki and Miles for talking during the exam. She asked them to go to the principle's office. But they left the room and the custodian found them screwing like bunnies in the library room." Kento said as he bit into his meal. "Talk abut embarrassment." Cye said as he diged into his spaghetti. Ryo kept on laughing about the gossip. He had to admit, ever since the whole diet, Kento changed. Not only physically but also socially. Kento made improvements from weighting 250 to 200. What would Rowen think of it? Ryo then looked at Sage who was quiet

all day.

"Hey man. What gives the silence?" He asked Sage. Sage looked at Ryo with a concern look. "All day today since five in the morn, I felt some sort of pain with in me and also the image of Rowen played in my mind." Sage said. Ryo and the others looked at Sage concerned. "I knew I felt something this morning. But I paid no attention to it." Cye said. "What if it's Rowen in trouble. Oh crap!! What if something bad happened to him!!" Ryo said.

"I just donno guys. But I'm so sure that the pain was coming from Rowen." Sage said. Then his face lightened up a bit. "I GOT IT!!" He yelled. Causing the whole school go quiet. "Hush man. What you got?" Ryo asked. "If we can feel Ro's pain through our links, that means we can communicate with him. Kami why haven't I seen this before?" Sage said. "Is it possible?" Cye asked. "We'll soon find out." Sage said as he enters to a meditation trance.

'Ro can you hear me?" Sage sended out to Rowen. The others waited for a response. Their link was open to the max, which could receive even the faintest thought. 'Rowen c'mon answer us.' Sage thought again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Arizona:

'Rowen c'mon answer us.' Came another thought to him. Rowen got up from the bed and looked at his armor orb that glowed brightly. Rowen knew the guys are trying to contact him. He opens his link and sended out a message.

'Sage, Cye, Kento, Ryo. Is that you?' He asked.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Japan:

"Yes we got contact!" Sage said.

'Rowen. Are you all right?'

'Not really Sage. Something really bad happen to me.'

'What is it Ro?'

'This place is hell. The principle beated me up and claim that I did something wrong.'

Sage gasp at the last message Rowen gave him. "Sage what is it?" Kento asked. Sage looked at them all. "He's being abused." He whispered.

'Sage are you there?'

'Yes Rowen. I'm here. The guys are here too. Don't worry, we'll get you out of there. I promise man'

'Please guys. Hurry. Strata can't help me forever.'

'Don't worry about that. I'll tell my father what's going on. He knows about our link so it will be easy for us to convince him about your current stage.'

'Thanks man. I owe you…….'

'Rowen?'

Nothing happen. Sage loosed the communication with Rowen. "Rowen Abuse? How is it that Mr. Hashiba can't see this?" Ryo asked. "You know Rowen's folks won't do something about it." Cye said. "Look. I'll talk to my dad about this. Hopefully he can do something about it. According to the thoughts Rowen sended to me, they were shaky, week, and fearful. Guys, Rowen is afraid." Sage said.

"Well then we have to act fast in order to get to Rowen soon." Ryo said as he got up from his seat and looked at his comrades. "You are absolutely right." Kento said as he got up. "We need Rowen back safe and sound." Cye said as he also got up. "If the adults won't help us, then by the ancient's death shall we use our armors to help us to get Rowen back." Sage said.

"Genichiro! We need to talk." Mrs. Hashiba said as she entered the lab that belonged to her ex-husband. "Not now Marian! I'm busy." Mr. Hashiba said. "All way's busy. Stop being busy and listen up you crack head." Mrs. Hashiba insulted. Mr. Hashiba looked at her unproved. "What you want Marian?" "It's about our son. We need to get him back and soon. I have reports about LPS being a bad school. There are reports of students being killed there without cause. And it all happens during Mrs. White's term in office. And always's after she talks with the parent of a student do these kids disappear." Mrs. Hashiba said. Mr. Hashiba took off his glasses and looked at Marian. "So what do you propose to do?" "I'm bringing my baby back from there and make a report about that school to the authorities" Mrs. Hashiba said. "That won't help at all. Mrs. White said that Touma has to complete at least one year of study in that school." "He has been there for almost nine months Genichiro! He has to be brought home NOW!!" Mrs. Hashiba said before sobbing.

Mr. Hashiba knelt down next to her and hugged her body. "It's all right Marian. Cry all you want." He said smoothly. Remembering the last time he said that. It was when Marian was expecting Touma unwanted.

*FLASHBACK*

"Genichiro. I have to tell you something." Marian said to her boyfriend whom she knew for only 8 months. Genichiro looked up from his textbook and smiled at her. "What is it Marian?" "Genichiro, I don't know how it happened, but-" Marian trailed off and looked to the wooden pavement of the floor. Genichiro walked up to her and cupped her chin lovenly. "What is it hun? " He asked. "Please don't get mad. Please don't leave me when I tell you this." Marian said with tears falling down her cheeks. "I won't get mad." Genichiro said. "Genichiro, you are going to be a father." Marian said.

Genichiro looked stunned at that moment. Part of him was within that womb of Marian "God's Marian. How old?" "Three months." Marian said. Genichiro moved away from her and went back to his study table and open a small chest up. "Genichiro. I-" Marian said as she sank to her knees. Genichiro came back with a small box. "It's a perfect time to ask you this since there will be another Hashiba to feed on." Genichiro said. Marian looked at him confused. "Marian Balze, I want to ask your hand in marriage. If it ain't for me, then for that unborn child in you." Genichiro said.

Marian looked at him before hugging him and wept. "Yes Genichiro. I do." She said with a sob. Genichiro hugged her back. "It's all right Marian. Cry all you want." He said.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"We will get our son back Marian. We will" Mr. Hashiba said.
