It was the day I turned ten, I hadn't even seen Duran for about a year because of the fight between my parents and the Hiroshi family. My parents, especially my mom, didn't like how much the Hiroshi's tryed interfering with our lives, adn decideding things about our plans or what not.
That day we threw a small party, only four people came, of course I only invited four people. Tohru was drinking pop adn talking with Uo who had just taken her second slice of pizza. Hana was talkign to me about how she and her little brother could curse people. And then there was that other friend, Corine was her name I believe. She had moved to Japan from America for an exchange program.
We were servng the cake that night when I decided for some reason to go outside. He was there, his hair was cut to his shoulders. Duran, my arch-enemy yet my betrohed(sp?).
" Sheena, follow me." and of course not to anger him I did. He led me to a small courtyard near our house, my parents knew I went there often so they wouldn't worry that I wasn't home. That day was different from the rest of the days I had seen Duran before, the same yet so different. He slapped me hard across the face and yelled for not inviting him.
" It was a girl's only party Duran!" I tried reasoning with him, it only made him hit me harder. then, he did something I'll never forget. Instead of hitting me for a third time he held my face in his hands and kissed me possesively on the lips. Why, i'll never know, all he had done before was hurt me, now he was trying to be nice? It made no sense, I guess he was trying to make a point, but what that was I still can't figure out. Then he left and I walked back, I said the red on my cheek was from the cold, it was early spring so the air was still nippy at night. They believed me, well almost all of them did. Everyone went on with their original activites except for Hana, she came up to me.
" Something else happened, your cheeks aren't red from the cold, you were hit right?" She questioned.
" Yes, but please don't tell Hana, no one can know, you can't even tell Tohru, or Uo, if needed i'll tell them. But don't say anything before then."
" Okay, I'd never betray you." She said with a slight smile.
" I know." I smiled at her too, and we went over to Tohru and Uo.
" So how was your walk?" Asked Uo.
" Oh, fine, just needed some fresh air." I said eyes darting around. Uo didn't believe me but kept her mouth shut after getting a death glare from Hana.

I was in sixth grade and had turned twelve a month before when it happened. I had been at school talking with the others when a boy I knew walked up and asked to talk with me alone. I followed him and he asked me out.
" I-I'd love to but I can't, m-my parents say i'm too young to have a boyfriend." It wasn't true but he believed me and walked off. Unfortunatly, Duran found out. He punched and kicked and slapped me really bad. I broke a rib by being slammed into a wall and broke my left arm by it being punched into a wall. I had bruises all over my body and two broken bones at the end of our twenty minute meeting.
I silently walked home and went inside knowing my parents weren't goign to be back yet. I walked into the bathroom and searched through the cabinets till something glistened and caught my eye. A razor. I picked it up carefully. I had no idea what possessed me to do it but I made a small cut on my arm, and then the hurt feeling I had was gone, being replaced by an exquite pain. I watched the blood trickle down my arm, and a strange feeling of happiness filled me. I cut my arm again and savored the moment, i had gone temporarily insane I think, i couldn't stop myself from cutting my arms. I loved the red liquid staining my arms. I made my way down one arm till i was close to my wrist, i readied myself to cut just above the vein but my hand slipped and i cut my wrist instead and the red flow didn't stop no matter what I did. I ran and dialed 9-1-1, told them my problem and where i lived then I collapsed on the ground.
I awoke slowly and saw an unfamilar ceiling. I looked around at sad or crying faces. An oxygen mask was above my lips and an IV was stuck into my arm. I looked at it and saw the fluid running down the tubes into my arm. The first person to notice that I was awake was Tohru because she was holding my hand crying. I had moved my hand and she saw my slowly openeing eyes.
" Sheena! She's awake everyone!"Shouted Tohru, suddenly. Everyone turned to me and I smiled weakly.
After that day, Corrine moved, probaly only a month later.
-out of memories-
Sheena opened her eyes and stood up off her bed.
" Sheena!" Shouted up Shigure.
" Yes?"
" It's Akito, he's not very happy and would like to speak with you immeadetly." She shook her head and walked downstairs. She opened the door and headed over to Sohma estate and to Akito's home. She knocked and was summoned inside.
" ah, Sheena. Just the person i wanted to see."
