Setsuna woke up sore in every place she could imagine. Her arms had fresh new bruises. She washed herself again and went to school. Huruka and Michiru were waiting outside for her.

"Hey guys," she said.

"Hey are you ok?" asked Huruka.

"Never better."

"You need to tell someone."

"The thing is no one will believe me."

"We do. Or at least stand up for your self."

"I've tried it once remember."

~Flashback~

"Setsuna get down her NOW!" screamed her father.

"No," she yelled.

Footsteps were thundering as he ran upstairs to teach her a lesson. He banged down her door and picked her up by the collar.

"Excuse Me young lady but did you just tell me NO," he screamed at her.

"That's right I said no you b-," she didn't get to finish because he hit her across her face. She spit up blood. He came over and kicked her in her stomach.

"You ungrateful little whore, I gave you food, clothing, and shelter, and this is how you repay me," he kept kicking her until her rib cracked. He called for an ambulance and lied about what had happened. He told the doctors she had gotten into a fight with a kid at school, and they believed him.

~end Flashback~

"Yeah, but still you can't keep getting hurt like that, where is your mother anyways?" "My father had killed her."

~Flashback~

"I am leaving Akuma and I am taking Setsuna with me," said Jane, Setsuna's mother.

"You will do no such thing," he said.

"You've become too violent."

He walked over to the kitchen and opened a drawer. He pulled out a pair of rubber gloves and picked up a knife. He stalked toward her and stabbed her in her heart. Her screams were muffled by his other hand. Setsuna watched all of this.

"You tell anyone and I will kill you to," he said.

~end Flashback~

They walked in silence as she finished her story. All of them went to poetry. The teacher called on her hoping this poem would be better than the last.

"This poem is called Friends," she said.

"Friends are eternity,

Your life,

Your past,

Your present,

Your future.

They'll be there for you,

Whether it be good times,

Or bad.

When you're hurt,

Your friends are there.

When you're happy,

Your friends are there.

When you're crying,

Your friends are there.

They'll always be there,

Because Friends are eternity."

Everyone clapped and the teacher was proud of her. Soon the bell rang and they went to their next class. Soon Art went by and it was lunch time. Setsuna, Huruka and Michiru looked for a spot on the terrace. They found a perfect spot near the cherry blossoms. Jakoutsu walked toward them and picked up Setsuna by the arm. She winced and he noticed. So he took off her jacket and everyone looked to see bruises all over her arms. She quickly put her jacket on and ran off the terrace. Yaten was watching the whole time. And he ran after her.

"Setsuna, Setsuna are you ok?" he asked.

She looked up from her spot near the trees.

"I'm fine," she lied.

"Your lying why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

"I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"Because you'd get hurt."

"How would I get hurt?"

"My father."

He stared at her. She had tears staining her beautiful face. He walked over to wipe them off her. She pulled away.

"No stop you'll get hurt, just stop helping me," she demanded. Then she ran off to class. After school she didn't get detention and neither did Huruka and Michiru. She hurried to get home and ran to her room. Her dad banged on the door.

"Setsuna come out here," he demanded.

"Yes father," she walked out and as soon as she hit the threshold of her door her father hit her with a glass bottle. She was bleeding heavily. He took another one and crashed it on her head. She was loosing a lot of blood and she could hardly keep her eyes open. She did the only thing she could in this situation, she ran. She bolted out the house door and ran all the way to Huruka and Michiru's. She banged on the door and then collapsed as soon as her strength was spent. Michiru opened the door and found her friend in a pile of blood. She screamed and Huruka came running. He rushed her body to the car.

They rushed her to the ER and waited. Michiru was crying and Huruka was holding her. The doctors came out and said she would be ok. They went inside of the room she was kept. She was doing better than they found her.

Michiru and Huruka made up their minds. They were going to make her tell the police or they would tell them themselves.
