Chance by Fate
A/N: New chapter!! Teehee, yay for motivation… I got two extra days off from school, and I'm at this kewl hotel… So yeah, I fixed the errors that were pointed out by Nevyn… Thank you muchness for telling me about them, cause I had thought I'd fixed it before… ^^ I would have never noticed, so thanks! ^_^
Chapter Four
I was horrified to say that least… I was in the eighth grade for god's sake; you wouldn't think I'd be confronted with something like this… But things began to click inside my mind, making the fact that I wanted more than anything to deny become more of a reality every second.
"So what if I did?" Kaerir said shrugging his shoulders and sending a cold cruel glare at me and the figure of Shika who had crumpled behind me, completely defeated.
I shook my head shocked… How could Shika let this go on? "You'll be arrested… That's a crime, you ass hole," I nearly spat, my hand drifting to Shika's shoulder trying in that small act to comfort him.
"You think he'd testify? He won't tell anybody, he's been a good little bitch until you showed up, and if you knew what was best for him you'd fuck off too." The boy crossed his arms over his chest defiantly, his nonchalant attitude driving me over the edge.
I gave into the anger that had been boiling inside me and screamed as I ran at the boy shoving him off those cocky little feet. "You... You deserve to idie/i." I couldn't even recognize those words as my own; they were so completely filled with disgust and hate… I have never felt so much pure rage for another living thing in my entire life as I felt in that moment…
Kaerir just continued to smirk as he climbed upwards throwing a punch in my direction, "Don't mess with me, I could easily take you down," He said as his fist impacted upon my stomach… I'd never been punched before in my life, but it seemed that today was just a day filled with firsts.
"Shika, get out of here," I mumbled at the scrunched up boy who was holding his knees up to his chest like he was dying of internal pain…Which I could easily imagine he was.
"Oh, you don't want him to see you get your ass whooped? Well, it's not like he hasn't seen anything like that before, eh Shika?" He laughed once again, but this time I was just sick of it, and I lunged at him, tackling him down beneath me…
"I don't think so," Kaerir informed me, pushing my fists away from his face, and flipping himself over, and reversing our positions. "I should rape you too; you'd probably be a lot more fun, put up more of a struggle… But at the moment, I'll settle to take my revenge for your interference," He said his tone even and calm as his fists impacted with my stomach again and again until my vision blurred… And then I was gone, away from here, my struggles to hold onto consciousness futile.

When my eyes drifted back open I wasn't at school anymore… I didn't exactly know where I was, but I didn't really care at that particular moment… I was more concerned with the pain in my sides and stomach… I had never been in an actual fight with anyone… Not in the real world anyway... If it had been in The WORLD, I was sure I would have been the one to win…
"Kite?" Squeaked Shika's voice hesitantly as I tried to sit up in a bed I was beginning to recognize as my own… The red cotton blankets and the giant blue pillow…Definitely mine.
"Yep," I replied flinching as the pain shot through my body once again… so moving wasn't the greatest plan.
"Your parents let me stay here until you woke up… I…uhmm… told them I needed to talk to you as soon as you got up…" He said his voice uncertain and breaking easily... It was obvious he wasn't sure what to say after the previous events… I probably knew more about him than anyone now.
I nodded slowly, motioning for him to sit down on the bed beside me, "What happened after I passed out?" I asked, though really all I wanted to know was why and how this whole mess had been started… But that would come when Shika decided to tell me about it.
"Well Miss Mejimi walked by and saw ihimi beating you up… and uhmm… she called the ambulance and he was sent to the office… and umm… then you went to the hospital, and they took care of you for a while, but your parents didn't want you to wake up in a hospital all alone so, um, they took you back here, and I'd been waiting on the front steps… Because this is all my fault…" Shika choked back a sob, and quickly brushed his hands across his eyes while taking a deep breath… I could already tell he must have been crying more than anybody I'd ever known... But he obviously didn't want to start bawling right here.
"I'm so sorry... I'm being so weak, and you're just… Being so... You've always been like this… I never asked for your help but you always want to..." Shika sighed, his heads falling to hands pathetically. He really was broken…
I shook my head, "Don't worry about it… I didn't have to fight. I wanted to, I chose it… I was just so… so angry…" I sighed, my hands reaching over to Shika's chin and pulling it upwards. "Don't you hide like that from me. It's okay… You can cry if you want to."
"Kite…" Was all he said, but his eyes said enough… Those vacant eyes of his were for once filled with something even if it was just gratitude and his trust… Shika trusted me.
After several moments of silence, neither of us knowing quite what to say, Shika opened his mouth to begin what had to be his story... But before he could start I cut him off, saying earnestly, "You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.. Just remember that, Shika."
The boy nodded giving me a half-smile, "My father killed my mom about a year ago," He said very slowly after taking a deep breath… He was trying to be composed, trying so hard… But now I was the one in a state of shock… so I'd expected something horrible, but not… well imurder/i.
"And… he stabbed me, and left me for dead… I watched my mother die, unable to move to call the police… I passed out soon after she died… They only found us the next morning both bathed in our blood…" He paused, closing his eyes and breathing loudly and deeply… He was trying to keep his composure… But gods, with a story like that… Shika had been through so much.. I just wanted to keep him safe, forever…
"My mom was dead… And my father was sentenced to life in prison… with parole…" He added the last part with a grimace before sighing. "And I lived with my older brother, Genji… We tried to get on with our lives the best that we could… But… My brother told Kaerir… Kaerir was his friend even though he's in middle school… Umm… At first… It was just…" Shika blushed, looking down at his hands, "Favors because he said he didn't want it to accidentally slip what a psychotic family I was from… After all I had just moved here with Genji… I'd lived with our parents lived up north a few cities away… And then one day he said he was going to tell everyone everything, about how I'd just…"
A few tears fell down his pale face, which he quickly brushed away. "Let my mom die… And so I let him…" He shrugged, his eyes still downcast… "And then he just started doing it all the time… He was just young and… and…horny…" Shika blurted out, looking embaressed. "And I didn't want anyone to know so I just… stopped caring about what he did to me… I didn't want these people to hate me or my family like they had before.. Every time I went anywhere they would all whisper about us... How my father was insane, and likely to be put to death, how I had to be sent to live with my teenage brother...Genji… He noticed something… So he had my grade switched because he thought it was someone in my grade hassling me…" Shika shook his head slowly, before he completely broke down… All the tears he'd tried to hide from me came pouring out of his eyes, like streams just let loose from a dam of sorrow... "I'm…so sorry… Kite… I didn't mean… to get you…involved…" He choked out, his eyes finally reaching out to mine.
"It's okay. I want to be involved," I replied smiling down at the boy.
"Kite…" He looked up at me, and then all of a sudden leaned up and kissed me on the mouth. It was so sudden and light it took me a moment to realize that he was indeed kissing me. But when he pulled away his eyes were wide and frantic, as the realization of what he'd done settled in him.
"Oh god… I just… I've never told anyone.. I was just so… I don't know…" He looked up at me again, this time his eyes begging for forgiveness… I was still to shocked that he'd actually kissed me, my first kiss at that… How could he even want to kiss anyone, after being raped? I couldn't fathom that, but nonetheless… I didn't really mind… I knew I should be disgusted and thinking what the hell, did a iboy/i just kiss me? But I wasn't concerned with that at all…
"It's okay, Shika… I don't mind. It's you.. It's you who should mind," I told him, sighing and shaking my head as I looked at him. And this time when our eyes met, a smile formed on his lips.
