Aryll ran home, with her brother, and the others. She hadn't seen Tetra at all since she heard the plan those asses had put together. The rain was pouring hard, and their jackets were getting soaked. When they made it home, they peeled the wet jackets off of them, and looked for any sign of their fathers. Aryll however, was looking for Tetra.

"Hey we're here!" Willis shouted, making the arrival of the older kids aware to the others.

"For a second there, I thought we'd float away." Rome joked, running hre fingers through her soaked, wavy, red hair.

"Wait, it's quiet." Alice stated, which meant one thing.

They were alone.

"Here's a note." Mathilda called from the kitchen. " Dear Sluts, We're gone for the fucking day, so don't any of you sluts get pregnant cause your so god damn slutty. Signed your fucking fathers you sluts."

"I'm guessing the word for today is sluts." Hikari rolled her eyes.

"Wait, we're short a kid aren't we?" Kai said, aware of the rude remarks that came from Tetra weren't being said.

"...Tetra? Tet! Where are you?" Link shouted.

"Oh no..." Aryll moaned. "She's run away."

"WHAT!"

"Look, me and Kevin heard some of the assholes in her class talking. And well...they were gonna do something to hurt her so badly, she's kill herself."

"What? What did they do?" Mona and Lisa asked in unision.

Aryll bit her lip. "They were planning on having a girl kiss Joseph in front of her..."

"Oh God, We have to find her!" Hikari said, a little louder than she expected.

"But, she could be anywhere. We'd need help..." Rebecca mentioned.

"So call that Joseph kid. It's obvious he likes her, so he'll definetly help us." Link said.

"Do you have his number!" Aryll yelled.

"No but Kari does!" Link retorted.

"Hikari, call Ozuma, he'll listen to you. He can get the kid to help us." Willis said.

"You get a hold of him, we'll go look for Tetra right now." Rika said, grabbing her jacket and a flashlight and heading out the door. The others followed her.

Hikari grabbed the phone, frantically dialing Ozuma's number. She couldn't believe it, why did these kids have to destroy Tetra's soul? She waited until she finally heard a voice on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Hi! Is this Ozuma?"

"Uh...no...it's Dunga."

"Well, Get Ozuma!" Hikari snapped. She was getting extremely stressed out.

"Hang on." Dunga put down the phone. Hikari heard him shout something like 'Ozuma, there's some bitchy girl on the phone for you.' Hikari made a mental note to remember to hit him next time she saw him.

"Hello?"

"Ozuma! You'vegottohelpme!AbunchofassholesinTetrasclasswereassholesandnowshesgonehelpme!"

"Hikari, breathe, and then talk."

Hikari took a deep breath, then started again. "You've got to help me! A bunch of assholes in Tetra's class were assholes and now she''s gone help me!"

"...okay...where do you want me to meet you?"

"...I don't know, at the park? And bring Joseph!" Hikari said, beforing hanging up and racing out of the house. Amazing what one thing can cause.

"So Ozuma, what was that all about?" The green haired boy asked.

"Tetra's missing. I'm going to help Hikari look for her." Ozuma said, grabbing his hood and pulling it over hsi head.

"T-Tetra?" The horrible memories of today flooded back into his mind.

"Hikari said you should come help. So come on." Ozuma left the warehouse, with Joseph scrambling after him.

(line)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're never going to find her! She's gone! This is all my fault!" Hikari screamed, hitting her arms against Ozuma's chest.

"Hikari, calm down. We'll find her. We just need to split up." Ozuma said soothingly, trying to calm the distressed girl down.

Hikari merely buried her head in his chest, trying to calm herself down.

"Joseph. Go look at where you think she may be. You know her better then we do, and at the moment, Hikari isn't any help." Ozuma commanded.

"O-okay." The boy answered, silently blaming himself for this family's stress. How could he do this to them.

Alice raced through the trees, silently hoping her hunch was wrong. She knew that if Tetra was seriously hurt, she might go to the extremes. Finally, she made it to the cliff. Jose's cliff.

"TETRA!" She screamed, her voice was anxious. Alice looked everywhere, searching for the girl.

"What's the matter Al?"

Alice whipped around, her soaked blond hair slapping her in the face. "Jose...Tetra...she.she's gone..."

"Gone where?" Jose's eyes became hard.

"Run away..."

"...I'll help you look, come on!" With that, Jose took off, Alice following behind him.

Distressed and tired, Joseph slowed down his pace. Silent tears mixed with the rain, making it seem as if he wasn't crying. He hated the kids at school. He just hated them. He tried to do what was right, but he fell into their trap anyway. He started running again, to the spot where he had seen Tetra for the first time out of school, he thought maybe, just maybe she'd be nearby.

"Tetra!" His voice rang, but the heavy rain drowned it out.

He kept running, until he tripped over something, and started rolling down a small hill. When he hit the ground, he saw himself in a place that was so beautiful. There was a waterfall, surrounded by flowers. Something caught Joseph's eye. A form, with light lime green hair.

'Tetra!' He thought. Joseph sat up, and looked at the girl. Her face was buried in her arms and she was soaked.

"...Tetra...?"

Tetra snapped her head up. Joseph was horrified to see the bloodshot eyes she had. She had been crying. This whole time she had been crying about what had happened.

When her eyes made contact with the one who had spoken, they hardened.

"Go away you assfuck! I don't want to see your fucking face again!" Were her words to Joseph.

"Tetra...I'm sorry..."

"No you're not! You hate me just like the rest, admit it!" She said.

"If I hated you...why would I be here right now?" Joseph asked her.

"..." Tetra was taken back. Man this kid was smart. "Because...it's to make me feel worse."

"Why do you think everyone is against you? What happened to you to make you think that?" Joseph asked in desperation.

Tetra looked stunned. "Shut up! You hate me! Admit it! Don't let me live in this pain from the world ofmake believe!" She cried.

"Someone has hurt you, making you believe you are worthless and hated." Joseph said, moving closer to Tetra.

"Shut up! You know nothing!" She snapped.

"I know I don't hate you." Joseph answered.

"Don't say you don't when I know you do!"

"If I hated you, would I do this?" Joseph brought his lips to Tetra's, making the girl's eyes widen like dinner plates.

Tetra had been kissed before, mostly by her father's 'clients' But all the time, it was a hard, hungry, painful kiss. This one, it was different. It was gentle, almost as if she knew Joseph wouldn't hurt her and wasn't planning to earlier. She closed her eyes slightly, and kissed back. They pulled apart moments later. That's when Joseph noticed that Tetra had on a white tank top. And white tank top plus rainfall equals, well, a very red Joseph.

Tetra blinked, then realized what he was blushing at. She tried to cover herself, then noticed Joseph was pulling off his shirt.

"Here." He said, handing her his shirt. Tetra looked at him for a second, unsure of what to do.

"It's to cover yourself..." Joseph looked away, redder than a tomato.

"Oh...thanks..." Tetra grabbed the shirt, and quickly pulled it over herself.

"We better get going. You could get sick." Joseph said, standing up, and extending his hand to Tetra. Tetra accepted it and stood up.

"I guess so. Hey, how did you find me here anyway?"

"I dunno, I tripped over something." Joseph shrugged. The two headed back to Tetra's house. Unknown of the eyes watching them from a nearby tree.

"At least someone is happy for once." Jose said to himself.

"So that's why you tripped him..." Alice said slowly. "To find Tetra."

"Hai, he loves her, it was easy to tell." Jose smiled slightly. "So, I see you have an eye for someone."

"Shut up!" Alice snapped, blushing a bright red.

Jose laughed. "We better find Hikari and the others, last I saw Hikari, she was beating the hell out of Ozuma's chest."

"Stress gets to her, you know that." Alice said, before jumping out of the tree.

"Whatever sis, whatever."
