(thank you for reviewing!!!!!)

"and to think I ever liked you..." haruto said angrily. "yesterday," dojima chimed in, trying and failing to lighten the mood a little. "you're really mean, you know!." piere yelled at him. He picked her up by the neck of her shirt and pinned her to the wall. "ow! Put me down you bastard!" he just pinned her tighter to the wall. "damnit'" michael said,"let her go! Settle this like a sensible person." "no." haruto said. "now, shut the fuck up, I'm not talking to you." he let her down, and then pulled out his orbo gun. "now," haruto said, letting piere down but still holding her against the wall. (now what would happen next is really NC-17, which isn't allowed, so I can't put it in. I apologize for having to cut it out.) haruto stood up, and wiped off his orbo gun. Michael, dojima and miho were still unconscious, and they didn't know what happened.

By the time piere regained consciousness, she was in the hospital. She knew, because all the walls were white. "I'm in the hospital," she said, obviously to herself. She knew what had happened, she remembered, she remembered it all, but she wished he hadn't; it hurt like friggin heck, and she wanted it to go away so badly, but it would not. She closed her eyes and relaxed a little for a few minutes. Then, michael came into the room. "oh dojima," he whispered. "piere is still unconscious. Lets come ba- " "I'm awake, please don't leave me here alone." michael turns to her. "piere?" he and dojima came in and sat at her side. "where is miho?" michael made a gesture to her left and she turned around. There was miho, sleeping on the box/bed. She looked so tired and weak. "where's haruto?" dojima winced and looked away. She was still in denial she didn't believe that haruto would rape piere, and especially not the way it seemed in the tape when they went back and played the surveillance tapes. "we don't know, he ran off, and we haven't been able to find him. I can't think of anywhere he could go, but who knows what kind of connections he's got in this crazy ass town." piere looked down (or whichever dirction) at her covered feet. Why would he run away now? "I need to get outta here. I cant stay in a hospital." michael looked confused. "hospital? We're in raven's flat still. Why do you think im sitting here right now visiting you? I couldn't go to a hospital Zaizen's got me on intense lockdown." that made her think, "where the hell is Zaizen, anyways?" I don't know. I checked his office. Kosaka's not there either.
