It was very late at night, a sound of someone moaning was the only sound of life. Serenity got up from the floor, she had just now regained consciousness. She walked up the stairs to her room and fell on her bed and began to cry softly. "No one loves me..." she thought as her tears flowed down her face. A thought struck her mind. Without thinking she walked down the stairs, crept passed her parent's room and walked down the hall to the front door. She opened the door and left.

"I can't stand it anymore !! I don't know my real mom and dad, my life's a living hell !! Im gonna end it now !!!" serenity thought as she ran down the street at her demon speed. She made a sharp turn down one alley and jumped the fence. She ran at least 4 miles before she ran out of breath. She fell to her knees and clutched her stomach. "Curse you father...." she thought. "I hope you go to hell !!" serenity got up and ran to her destination again.

Much later, serenity was standing on the very top of a large steel bridge. It was very high above a river of water. "I can't swim...this is the only way I can find happiness...by dying" thought serenity. "What are you doing here ?" asked someone. "Huh ?" said serenity as she looked around. She saw a figure in a black leather jacket standing on one of the bars of the bridge. "That's what im trying to figure out about you, who are you ?" said serenity. "I have many names, I grown to like the name Hank" said the person. "Too bad im meeting you now, Im gonna jump now" said serenity. "Wait !" said hank. "Dammit !!! Cant a girl kill herself in peace ?!!" shouted serenity.

"Think about it, do you want to die ?" asked hank. "Yes !! My life isn't worth living !" yelled serenity. "Why do you want to die ?" asked hank. "I can't tell you..." said serenity. "What do you like in life ?" said hank. "I like books...that's about it..." said serenity. "Books huh ? You don't look like a nerd" said hank. "People who like to read aren't nerds" said serenity. "And you're smart ! See, you shouldn't kill yourself !!" shouted hank.

Serenity thought, this person who she just met gave her gratitude no one had ever given her. "So, you still gonna jump ?" asked hank. "No, thanks to you" said serenity. Serenity climbed down from the bridge and walked off. Hank jumped in front of her, which scared her. Serenity took a good look at hank. He had long partially blonde hair that in a high-ponytail, coyote- like ears, sapphire blue eyes, and he was wearing a grey shirt with a leather jacket and black jeans.

"Now what ?!" yelled serenity. "Tell me one thing" said hank. "Ask away" said serenity. "Where did you get those marks on your arms and your face ?" asked hank. Serenity shot hank an icy glare and walk away without saying anything. "Just so you know ! Your on my 'tough nut to crack' list !!" shouted hank. "Whatever !" said serenity as she ran off to her house.

When serenity got home, Naraku was up, waiting for her. "Please father, im tired, and if you hit me now, the people at my school will know" pleaded serenity. "You tried to run away again" stated naraku. "No, I tried to kill myself you idiot !" thought serenity. "Well, what should do ?" said naraku as he approached serenity with the look of kill in his eyes. "Forget this ever happened and move on" said serenity. Naraku grabbed serenity by her neck and threw her into a wall. Serenity tried to run but naraku punched her in her face, and kicked her in her chest. Serenity fell down and didn't move.

Naraku starred at her and walked up the stairs and went back to bed with Kagura. Serenity's ears twitched and she opened her eyes. She tried to breathe but she couldn't that well. "He must've kicked me so hard that my lung is being punctured" thought serenity. The sun rose and the light came in through the windows. "Well, so much for resting before school" thought serenity. Serenity stammered to her feet, went to get her backpack and left for school.

"AHH !! Serenity, your face !" shouted Yoko as she saw that serenity had a slight black-eye. "No big deal, I just ran into a wall" said serenity. Yoko was serenity's best friend, she was a bit crazy at times, but she was all good. She had long black hair, ice blue eyes, and wore a short blue skirt and a white shirt with red horizontal stripes on it and black ankle high boots. "You run into a lot of walls" said Yoko. "You of all people know how clumsy I am" said serenity. "Hey serenity" said a young, tall, handsome boy as he walked by. Serenity just starred at him as he walked down the busy school hall. "Serenity !! Koga the mega-hunk just said hi to YOU !!" shrieked Yoko. "I know, why would he like ME ?!" said serenity. "Well, your smart, athletic, and much more better than the princess of evil a.k.a. Kikyo !" said Yoko. "Thanks" said serenity.
