Sorry about the long wait. Well, you probably just want to get to the story, so here it is.


Chapter 4

I walked in and sat on the bed. My heart was still racing, but I was attempting to slow it down slightly, I couldn't let Akito see my fear.

"So nice, you actually listened to me," Akito smiled with a glint in his eyes. He ran a finger beneath my chin, sending a chill down my spine.

I just stared at him, unsure of what to say.

"Are you scared, Yuki? So weak," He shook his head.

I shook slightly, unable to say anything.

"Weak!" He slapped me swiftly across the face. "Get out of my sight, now!" He screamed.

I had been knocked over by the force of his hand, but I stood up quickly and ran away, terrified. There was no way I was hanging around Akito when he was as pissed off as he was now.

I crashed into the wall outside in my effort to escape, but I didn't care.

"What was that?" Hatori asked in a monotone as he looked out his door. He saw me. "Oh, Yuki, was that you? Are you alright?"

I nodded, trying to regain my breath. "I'm fine," I said exhaustedly.

"What happened?" He asked.

"N-Nothing," I stuttered slightly. I walked off and collected my back pack. I joined Haru in walking out the door.

"Where's Momiji?" I questioned.

"Dunno… think he bounced ahead a little while ago," Haru shrugged unconcernedly.

I smiled slightly. I walked on with him, my back stinging slightly.

"Something wrong?" Haru asked when he noticed me wince.

"No, I'm fine," I feigned a smile.

Haru smiled and put a hand on my shoulder as we walked.

"Haru, please stop," I requested softly. Not only did this bother me, but then there was the matter of my back as well.

He looked at me for a moment, but then removed his hand. We rounded the corner and began walking up the school.

I could tell that today was going to be tough, not only was there the matter of my fan club following my every move, Haru would be following me around as well, giving me more the chance to let why I was gone the previous day slip out.

"Are you going to be okay?" Haru asked.

I nodded.

"Are you sure you're feeling well enough?" He questioned.

"I'm fine, don't worry," I told him.

Haru put a hand on my shoulder again, "Okay, see you later."

I nodded and walked into the crowd. Thankfully because of my 'condition' I'd learned to swerve around people easily so I wouldn't transform.

Still, I could tell that some members of that stupid fan club were following me.

"Yuki-kun," Someone tapped my shoulder.

Without turning around I said, "Please, I'm not in the mood."

"But, please, I just want to know why you were gone," She begged.

"I said I'm not in the mood," I shrugged her hand off and walked away.


I'll try to update soon, and I'll somehow make this story Yukiru.

Please read & review!
