Well. After I had a shower and successfully managed to slip and fall in the shower stall I looked at the new clothes I had to wear. Black leather pants that fit tighter than my own skin and a black corset top. I really didn't like this. I wasn't used to tight or revealing clothes. Maybe if I pretended that I really hurt myself in the shower I wouldn't have to go back down stairs. My shoulder really did hurt.

Sucking up all my courage and self esteem I walked really slowly down to the stairs. I peeked around the corner to see Sayoran with the other people. Did I really want to go down there? Of course not. Why? Because they are going to eat me.

"You playing some sort of game?"

I froze. Damn. I was caught.

"Oh your Sakura aren't you?"

I turned around slowly to see another guy standing behind me.

"Y-yeah."

Great he gets to choose first what body part to eat.

"I'm Nicholas."

"Hi."

"Are you going down or are you just going to stand here all day?"

I'd prefer to stand here all day.

"I guess I have to go down sometime."

"Good. Come one I'll walk you down."

Like that's going to help me much. Either way we walked down the stairs. And yes. They did eat me. I was sitting in the middle of their eyes. Eating away at me. Especially Sayoran. This is yet another time when I have felt very uncomfortable around Sayoran but sucked it up and sat down on the couch.

"I see you've met Nicholas."

"Yep."

"Well. Selina talked to me. Asked if you two could stay here a while. I only have one problem with it. Are you from any other gang? The tigers? The sharks?"

"No." Sayoran answered for us.

"Good. Cause you've just entered Wolf territory."

Oh goody. They weren't ogres after all. They were wolfs. Lucky me.

I looked at Sayoran. He had green cargo pants and a white t-shirt. How come he didn't have to wear gang clothes? God I hated this.

We ate some lunch after about an hour of talking about something. I didn't know what it was cause I never paid any attention. I'm pretty sure they said a few words about me in there cause I think they knew I wasn't listening.

"Hey Sakura. How are you?" Sayoran asked. We were in a bedroom. The creepy people said that they only had one guest room so we needed to share. Yippee.

"I'm tired. I don't like it here. These people scare me."

"I know they do. But they are helping us. This was the help we needed."

"But what if they don't really want to help us?"

"They do. Just stay. Please? I promise. Nothing will happen to you. I'll make sure of that."

"Sayo-"

There was a knock on the door.

"You guys better come and see this." I think that was Nicholas who was on the other side of the door.

Me and Sayoran looked at each other and went for the door. Nicholas was gone but I think he went down stairs.

We got into the living room.

"Hey. Is that you? On the TV?" Selina asked.

We both looked at the TV. Sure enough our faces were plastered on the screen.

" These are two runaways from the Tie Diamond Boarding School. They were chased down a road and killed two guards of the school. They were spotted on the side of the East highway but no other appearances after that." The reporter said.

The other people in the room just looked at us.

Mikelle was the first to speak.

"Did you really murder two men?"

"No. They were hit by a train on some train tracks we had crossed. We aren't murderers." Sayoran said calmly.

How could he be calm at a time like this! Inside I was freaking out. They are going to kill us just to make sure we don't throttle tem in their sleep!

"Awe too bad. I was about to congratulate you guys. We would have needed more people like that."

What the hell were they talking about? They wanted us to be mad crazy killers? I really wished I was hit by a sleepy gun again.

"Oh well. Anyways. How did you guys get out of that boarding school? I heard it was almost impossible." Nicholas asked.

"Luck I guess."

"You two must be pretty lucky then. We've got some fighters here Mikelle."

"It seem that we do. Will you excuse us?"

"Of course."

Me and Sayoran left again. This was going to get annoying. Who knew what they were going to talk about? Probably about us but what about us? We weren't special.

"You know I think Nicholas likes you."

"Really? How do you know?"

"I saw him give you the eye."

"What eye? He has two of them."

"The special eye. Of course you wouldn't recognize it. I doubt you have even had a boyfriend before."

I stopped. No way did he just say that. What an idiot. Why did he say that? I felt tears come to my eyes. Again. Why did this always happen? I didn't know.

"Leave me alone." I said.

"What? Why?"

" Just don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Don't even breath around me."

I stormed back to my room and locked the door behind me. I hated Sayoran. Selfish annoying bastard jerk! Backed into the door and slid to the ground. Tears ran freely now.

"Sakura?"

What? Why did I hear his voice. It didn't come from behind the door. It came from in front of me.

"What? How did you get-"

"We are only one floor up from the ground. It wasn't that hard. Now. Want to tell me what I did or said wrong."

"Gabriel." I whispered.

"Who?"

"I did have a boyfriend once. His name was Gabriel."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"No. It's ok. I think I overreacted. But, its just…never mind."

I started to get up and walk towards the window but Sayoran grabbed my arm.

"What is it?" He asked.

I looked at him. My eyes still a little teary.

"Ever since the first time I saw you… you reminded me of Gabriel."

"Was he that bad of a boyfriend?" I knew he was trying to joke with me to make me feel better... But he needed to know why I was so upset.

"Gabriel died…"

I saw the shock on his face.

"Sakura. I'm so sorry." He pulled me into a hug but my arm stayed crush between his and my chest.

"It's ok. You didn't know."

"No its not ok. I shouldn't say things like that."

The jackass was right. He shouldn't say things like that.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being here for me… even if I hate you."

So ya …. Chapter… what is it now 10? Great. I love it.
