She walked alone, on the sidewalk, in the rain, thinking. Why was she here? Why did she run? How could she have let it happen to her a seventh time. Seven times, seven times she has been tricked into thinking that someone has actually had loved her, but instead was brutally raped again. She has grown weary of the beatings, scratchings and biting that she would get every time she was with a guy. The pitter patter of rain splashed on the concrete and on her hair. She didnt wear a jacket, nor carry an umbrella with her. Her whole body was soaked, her hair stuck on to her head. Not like she had cared anyway. She never cared, for she could never love again. She walked into a café, all of the costumers looked at her and turned their noses. Out of everything wrong on the girl's appearance, it was her clothes that made her look bad. Her shirt was torn and ripped, her skirt was cut exposing bruises on her legs and the shirt exposed bites and scratches on her clavicle and neck. She sat at a booth, shaking from the freezing rain going from the brown locks of hair on her head to her back. The touch of the cold made she shiver more. She ordered some hot cocoa from the menu and waited. She didnt know what she was waiting for but something told her to stay. For what? And why? She didnt want to know, but she obeyed anyway. A minute later someone tapped her shoulder. She turned and caught eyes with a male around her age. White hair, chocolate eyes, a smile that'll just make you melt in your seat, mixed with the soft smell of cinnamon.

" Heres your hot cocoa ma'am" He said in a soft British accent. He handed the girl the cup and looked at her, examining her body carefully. " Are you ok?" He said sitting in front of her and looking her in her eyes. " What happened...do you need any food or anything? I'll buy it for you." He said then seeing the glare in the girl's eyes that told him to piss off. He got up and walked away but stopped behind her. " If you need anything...please don't hesitate to ask for it. Just ask for Ryou." Ryou said then left to his work.

About 5 hours later the café was closing and the girl was still sitting at the same booth as she was earlier.

Ryou saw her and sat in front of her once again. "Your still here...did you need anything?" Ryou asked then ordered a sprite for him. He looked at the girl whose face was covered up by her nearly dried hair. He took his index finger and pulled her bangs from her eyes to get a glance at the beautiful blue eyes he had seen earlier, but now, now they were filled with tears. He watched the girl glance at him and was pushed away. "What is wrong? Cant I just help you? Or tell me what is wrong?" Ryou said in a calm voice. " Or can I have your name or something?" He asked.

Her name? Why did he want her name? Was he gonna turn her in to her home? Where she was constantly abused by her brothers, beaten just how her ex's beats on her when ever they see her. Should she tell him? So many things were going through her mind right at the moment. " What do you ... want from me?" She said while trying to control the tears the threatened to come out of her eyes. She felt a soft finger on her cheek, wiping a tear away. She looked at Ryou and saw him smile. She returned a small smile, then frowned. No...this is how the others were before they raped her. Kind, loving...would do anything for her happiness. She couldnt fall for it again, she couldnt and wouldnt. " My name is... Anzu..." Anzu said then getting up from the booth. She felt Ryou grab her arm. " No please let go of me." She said nearly crying.

Ryou let go, being unaware of the grabbing that he had done. " I'm sorry...I didnt think before I grabbed your arm... for give me. I just...wanted to know if you'll be ok." Ryou said looking at Anzu. He didnt receive an answer, he watched Anzu walk out of the café.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
