Authors Note- This fic is going to become darker than my other ones. If you don't approve of some of the upcoming topics, take it up with either roafur or Carne. As such, the rating will go up to 16+. I don't care if you shouldn't be reading things like that due to age and law. Its your own fault, if you ask me. Also, I am well aware of how OOC Rin is. La-dee-da. She had a normal family (as close to normal as one can be when Kagura and Hiro are their siblings) in this one, so her personality is different. The song is 'Open Your Heart' from .hack

Word spread fast that Hatsuharu was leaving Isuzu for Akito. Poor Isuzu didn't know about any of it until she came back to school that day. She could hear people whisper about her in the halls.

'Isn't that Sumeragi Isuzu?'

'Thats her alright. Sohma is insane for leaving her for that Magami bitch.'

'No kidding. Maybe I can heal her broken heart!'

'Retard. I don't think that Sumeragi-san is that desperate yet.'

All of their words felt like knives in Isuzu's back. Every time they mentioned her over again, the knives were twisted, opening wounds even deeper.

She dropped her bag off in her class, and went to go find Hatsuharu. She found him sitting on the roof, talking with Akito.

The look on Isuzu's face was one of pure sadness and hurt. She turned and ran, as far as she could. But running isn't something that one should do when they are sick. She fainted, right by her tree.

One would hope that it would be Hatsuharu to find her. But, it was a young girl around Isuzu's age with a dark demeanor. Hanajima Saki, or 'Hana' to most, took her to the health office.

When the nurse had Isuzu settled, she told Hana to go back to class. Hana convinced the nurse to let her stay with Isuzu.

Hana pulled a chair up next to Isuzu's bed. 'Poor child. She is radiating sorrow and betrayal. Such dark waves...And yet, they suit her. Sumeragi Isuzu...she is appealing to me. I think she would do well to stay near me.'

Hana softly stroked Isuzu's hair, and waited for the girl to awaken.

Now, as Hana and Isuzu were in the health office, the rest of the school was in their respective classes.

Hatsuharu, Akito, and Isuzu were all in the same class for their first period. Their teacher was calling role, as the class talked amongst themselves.

"Hiten-kun!"

"Here!"

"Hiragizawa-kun"

"Present!"

"Aomori-kun!"

"Yeah."

"Sumeragi-kun! Sumeragi Isuzu! Odd. Her bag is here."

A young girl raised her hand. "Sensei, she is in the health office. She fainted this morning. The vibe girl is with her too."

Now this was news to most, especially Hatsuharu and Akito.

Akito was happy, to say the least. Hatsuharu on the other hand...well, lets say that when break came, nothing would get in his way.

Class went by slowly, minutes seeming like hours. That is, until Hana came back into the room with Isuzu.

"Ah. Sumeragi-kun. Are you feeling any better?"

Isuzu just walked to her desk, picked up her bag, and left. Hana did the same thing, but actually told the teacher that she was going to take Isuzu home.

This surprised the whole class, even Hatsuharu. They were all used to Hanajima doing what ever she wanted, but for Isuzu to walk out of class...some people were forced to pick their jaws off the floor.

The whispers began again.

'Uh-oh...Sumeragi and Hanajima?'

'Good bye to the Isuzu we all know!'

'The most pretty girl is hanging out with the scariest?'

'Lets hope that Sumeragi doesn't become like Hanajima's other friends...'

Now, one thing that you should know about Hana, is that she is the head of what most people call 'the hopeless youth'. The group of kids that go to school cause they have been forced to, but won't do a thing. The ones most likely not to pass a drug or alcohol test. The groups that have more 'experience with experimentation' than an actual scientist.

This thought caused Hatsuharu's stomach to churn. He could just see it. Isuzu and Hanajima, drunk and doing drugs...

Now, contrary to popular belief, Hanajima did not do drugs. She occasionally drank. But what she was into was one that most people would not do. She had more of a fetish. And she did not try to corrupt Isuzu. She just saw the potential.

As they walked, she slipped a razor blade into her bag. Isuzu didn't even notice.

Hana started humming a song, and it didn't take long for Isuzu to sing along.

'Open your heart, to eternal dimension

Open your heart, for love and affection

Open your heart, your every emotion

Open your heart, for tears and rejection

Come to the grace of heavens eternal fantasy

Come to the grace of earthly devoted harmony.'
