Night Alone- C. 1: Beat Down

"You Chibi-ama! I don't care about you!" He screamed, not caring if anyone outside the household.

"Whatever, Suno-san." I said as I was bored.

"You baka yaro and you're always in a horrible shimatta-ketsu mood, all the time!"

"Yeah, sure. Whatever." I step out of the living room and started to head upstairs.

"Where you going Mako-shit?!" I turn my head a little.

"Up to Misako-san's room." I toss over my shoulder.

"Get the h-ll back her, you snob! You know, anata wa darne desu..."

"Why? So you can beat me senseless?" I move up more step.

"No, but that's a norou good idea." Suno grabs the back of my shirt and beats me down, badly.

Then, he stops and seen what he has done and gets out of the house... Probably to drink. Kisama.

'Oww... Phone... Hospital...' I try to move, but it hurts so much to. "Ah..." I wince. I drag my self up the stairs, even though it hurts so much, to Misako-san's room and bleed from my neck, under my right eye, and on my left eyebrow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sit up suddenly and sharply gasp. I look around the dark room. "Oh, my god..."

Knock knock knock. "Mako-chan? Are you alright?" I hear from the other side of the cherry, wooden door. As I walk over to the door, I flick the light switch on, then open the door.

"Hai?" I ask looking down at the blue haired girl.

"Are you okay, Koto-chan?" She asks quietly; worried.

"Uhh.. Hai, I am Ami-chan. It was... It was just a bad dream. A nightmare. I'll be fine." I grin a little.

"Are you sure, Kino?"

"Hai, Ami. I will be just fine. Don't worry about it, okay?" I repeat the word 'Hai.' For the third-time.

"Okay, just making sure. Just, take care."

"I'll be fine, Ames. Arigato, for your concern."

"Iie, don't thank me. It's a job." She smiles and walks back down the hall to her room.

Once I hear her door close, I sigh and close mine. I look up at the light. "Oww..." I close my eyes a bit.

-"YOU LITTLE AMA!"-

I shudder. "He's gone. Dead. Don't think about it, Kino." I strip and pull on some jeans and my favourite Old Navy black, white and grey pullover type sweatshirt. I sigh for a minute. "I don't have to deal with his shimatta anymore. Plus there. He beat the shimatta out of me when I was younger... Total minus. That coward..."

I open the door, turn the light off, close the door very... VERY quietly, and head downstairs as silent and stealthy as I can. Pull on my black Adio shoes and unlock the door. Before I reach for the knob, the lights switch on.

"Since when did we get a sensor for the light?" I turn around. I jump when I see Ami.

"Where are you going, Makoto?" She's still up?

"Uhmm... For a walk through the park." I lean against the door.

"At 6:37 in the morning?" She raises an eyebrow and looks at me in concern. 'She's... So... Hott when she does that.' I mental slap myself and go back to reality.

"Yeah, so what if I do?" I shove my hands in my pockets and look at her. She sighs.

"I'm coming with you then."

"What? Why?" I lean my head slightly to the left. My neck cracks. 'That felt good.'

"Because, I want to. Oh, and that was gross." She heads upstairs to change as I sigh and wait there... Leaning against the door with my hands still in my pockets.

"Okay. I'm ready." 10 minutes later I hear. I look up and see her in tight faded jean and in my black and red Spitfire Skater Hoodie.

"You took... My Hoodie? My Hoodie?"

"Yeah, it's warm. You don't want me to wear it?" She reaches for the zipper on it.

"No, it's okay. Just, pull your shoes on and we'll head out." She walks over to me and my heart starts the beat faster. She slips her white Nikes on and I open the door to let her through and then we head for the park.
