Part 4
Author's note: My first short fic is nearing its end. It had been a good ride.
"Miyabi san... How is she?" I asked.
Miyabi smiled weakly at me. Obviously she was already tired.
"She's okay now... I think we can talk to her about what happened and finally get answers"
We entered her room and found Urumi sipping on green tea. Compared to how she looked before, this was definitely an improvement. Although her bruises are still fresh, the black and blue spots on her body still glared out and her eyes are still red from too much crying, she looked perfectly okay.
"Urumi chan..." I cleared my throat.
She looked up at us and put her cup down.
"I bet you'd like to know how all of this happened?" she started,
I sat on the floor beside the bed. Miyabi sat next to me and rubbed her eyes.
She relayed to us bit by bit what happened. She was hesitant at first to disclose everything but in the end, we squeezed every inch of information out of her. She hung her head in shame and looked away.
I felt my chest tighten.
"What has happened already happened... There's no use sulking about it... ne Kikuchi?" she looked at me.
I still couldn't speak. He did...what?! How could Urumi just dismiss it all and act like nothing happened?!
"You know what? I hate to admit this... but, you're right, I should stop this once and for all. It's getting out-of-hand..." she said.
"Urumi... for one thing, I can't believe you've sunk so low. You let a man, much worse, a teacher do that to you? And for what?!" I looked at her, I tried to stand up but I felt Miyabi's head on my shoulder slip a bit.
I looked at Miyabi and found her already sleeping on my shoulder.
"Let's just talk about this tomorrow Kikuchi. I'm getting tired. And besides, Miyabi already fell asleep on your shoulder. Let's call it a night ne?' She said cheerfully as she buried herself under the covers.
In the silence of the room, I could've sworn I heard faint, muffled whimpering from the bed
