The mystery of the smelly shampoo had been solved! Everyday for a couple of days I've been standing by the flag pole, where my friend and her friends are. (I just recently found out it was a flag pole. Yay me!) And in the morning I smell this shampoo smell that I really don't like. But when ever you mention it, it goes away like it was never there. Well finally this one person asked what it smelled like after I pointed it out. And then he said it was herbal essence after I described it and then my friend who I tell everyday that there's a smell to says that it's her. I thought it was her before but she didn't know where it was coming from until he said the name of the shampoo. So the case of the smelly shampoo had been solved…
Disclaimer- Hello again, I do not own Hana- Kimi. Have a nice day!
Later that day Sano was surprised that he had a visitor. He didn't have any family hat lived nearby and for obvious reasons his friends didn't come. "A young man is here to see you Izumi."
The nurse said letting the visitor in the room. Looking up to see who it was; Sano was shocked. His mouth dropped open a bit and he could find no words. It was Mizuki. She was standing in the entrance to his room not sure if it would be alright for her to come in.
"Mizuki? What…? Why…?" she smiled and walked in finally and sat down in a chair next to his bed. "How are you doing? The nurse said that you have some broken ribs." He didn't know what else to do so he nodded.
She looked concerned. "What happened to you?" she asked with eh utmost sincerity. "I… I fell." "Sano! That's terrible! Did you trip?" he nodded. 'What's wrong with her? Why is she here? Why does she care?' he wondered as she put her hand on top of his.
"Don't worry, I'll take notes in class for you and I'll make sure they don't kick you off the track team for not showing up for practice. You don't have to worry about anything but getting better." She smiled at him. It was a sight that made him want to puke.
"Why are you here Mizuki? I… I hurt you." He couldn't bring himself to say that he had raped her not even if they both knew it was true. Her face became serious. "It's not your fault. You didn't mean too. You were drunk."
Kagurazaka's words rung threw his head. "I've been drunk plenty of times. It doesn't excuse you for what you've done to her!" "That shouldn't make what I did to you any less horrible." He said surprising himself as the words came out by themselves.
She frowned. "I know. I don't blame you Sano. It's all Kagurazaka's fault. He's the one who got injured so I wasn't there to stop you from having too many drinks." Izumi's mouth felt dry. 'That's my fault too dammit! In the end no matter what happens it's all my fault.' But he couldn't tell her that this was his fault too. He just let her blame his rival for something he had done to her.
She smiled sweetly at him. "I moved into Nakatsu's dorm room but once you get better and come back I can go back to sharing a dorm with you." "I don't think that would smart Mizuki. Nakatsu and Kagurazaka would only think I'm taking advantage of you." He knew that seeing her everyday and knowing what he had done would be too much to him.
She gave a sigh. "It does not matter what Kagurazaka thinks and Nakatsu will understand that no matter what I will always love you. It's better to forgive and forget Sano. Other wise I would live my entire life in a place of paranoia and other rape symptoms."
He gritted his teeth at the word. He had once, in junior high, written an every passionate essay against rape. Now he was the very person he had described in his A+ paper, an unspeakable villain of the worst kind.
But then again he also loved Mizuki. He didn't want to lose her from his life forever. He knew that if they didn't live in the same dorm then she would move on. It was a dispirit attempt to keep her with him and on stay on her good side that he agreed.
She left the hospital with a sense of accomplishment not knowing that she had just dammed her love to the rest of his school days to be filled with self hatred and hatred of others. Sano didn't know if it would have been better to just lose her forever or to drive himself insane with guilt.
When Mizuki got back to the dorm that he barely knew Nakatsu was there waiting for her. "Where were you?" he asked. He had spent over an hour looking for her, afraid of what could have happed to make her disappear without a word.
"I just went to go visit my friend Rio." She lied. Her new roommate starred at her for a long time before accepting her answer. He went over to his desk and started playing with some papers, anything to distract him from the wonderful world of biology homework.
"Look, Nakatsu." Mizuki started sitting on her bed. "I need to talk to you about something." He shrugged turning around to face her in his spinney chair. He had pushed off the ground too hard and spun around a few times before finally facing her.
"What's up?" he asked. She wasn't sure how to say it so blurting it out seemed like the best thing to do. "I want to go back to my own dorm room with Sano!" he just starred then started to laugh.
"Good one Mizuki. Like you would ever do that. I think you've gotten funnier." "I'm not kidding Nakatsu. I visited Sano today and things between us are cool. I want to be with him, I love him."
The soccer player shook his head. "He hurt you. You can't just go back to him and act like nothing happened. When you saw didn't you feel scarred at all? Aren't you afraid that he'll do it again?"
She was angry now. "How could you say things like that? Izumi is your friend! You know that it's not his fault and that he would never hurt me again. And why would I have been scarred? He was lying in a hospital with broken ribs!"
She was standing up and fuming. Nakatsu had a calmed expression on his face. He knew he shouldn't get worked up like she was or else they would only have more conflict. "You felt safe because he was hurt and defenseless. What will you do when he gets better and stronger? What will you do when he gets drunk again and wants you in his bed again?"
His words had stung her like bees. She was crying even though she did not want to be. "He's only trying to take advantage of you Mizuki. He knows you love him and he knows you vulnerable. You're such a wonderful person to have him lose you from his life would destroy him. He wants you with him even if he knows he might hurt you again."
"You know nothing about Sano or love! You just think that everyone is like you and just wants to get into my pants!" she ran out of the room as fast as she could. 'What did she just say? That little brat! Damn, I have to go after her. No matter what she says I can't let he go out in the middle of the night and risk something happening to her.'
Nakatsu grabbed his own coat and one for Mizuki then ran after her. She was fast but he was faster. The only problem was that he wasn't sure where Mizuki would go. While searching the campus he saw a figure climb over the gate leading out into the city.
"Mizuki," he called out. "Wait! Mizuki!" he climbed over right after her. She gave him a pretty good chase; she was going in circles trying to loose him. Suddenly Nakatsu stopped and thought for a moment.
'Mizuki has been here for over a year but she couldn't know this area so well.' "Then who the hell have I been chasing!" he yelled out loud. There was no one on the streets except for himself until a person stopped infront of him.
It was Kayashima. He just starred at Nakatsu who was breathing hard. "What are you doing out this late?" his former roommate asked him. "Me? I was chasing after you thinking you were Mizuki! What the hell are you doing out here?"
Kayashima smiled. "I was just chasing the ghost who lives in Sano's dorm. I've always wanted to talk to it but it never left so when I switched rooms I thought I could finally talk to him. But then he said I couldn't talk to him unless I beat him in a race. I recognized the ghost from some old newspapers. He was a track stare murdered the night before his big competition in his dorm room. This was only a few years before we came to Osaka."
Nakatsu shivered feeling suddenly cold. "And there he is. See you later!" Kayashima yelled running away. 'He's really fast. How come he's not on the track team or didn't volunteer for the festival track thing?'
The teen was distracted from his thoughts and he almost forgot why he had left his dorm room filled with unfinished homework in the first place. Only did he remember when a cold breeze passed by him soon followed by Kayashima.
"Mizuki's in some park nearby!" he called back trying to beat his unseen competition. "Thanks!" the teen yelled back a little weirded out by his former roommate's abilities yet again.
He headed off to the nearest park and then all the other parks in the area. Soon he fell asleep on the kiddy slide still trying to find Mizuki.
I'm so tired… I heart Kayashima so I felt like I had to add him in this chapter. Oh! I finally got volume 8! The guy at the bookstore got it out of the back room for me when I thought there were none left. I feel special. gleams please read and review!
