Hey ya'll. I know i haven't been active lately but well school's been keeping my busy. But hey this one should be kinda good because I'll telling some of my friends about it and I don't want them to read another of my sucky stories. So here you go!

Author-Honey Bunny Boo

Chapter 1-I'm sorry i wasn't there for you.

Parings-Rio & Kousuke

Setting-Park, alley, hospital.

I warn you, in this chapter Rio has something very bad happen to her. So those of you who don't want to read something like that don't yell at me for it in the end.

I own nothing, but I can get pretty close..in my dreams. ( ------it's a sad face

ENJOY!

The sun was shining in the park and Rio just loved the ice cream she had forced Kousuke to buy for her.

"You really like chocolate, don't you?" Kousuke asked as he gave Rio her 3rd. cone.

"Yes, very much!"

"You keep eating so much and you'll get f...whoa!"

"Now what were you saying?" Rio asked as she got up and walked away, leaving the red haired teen on the ground.

"Hey..wait up! We have to go see Rutherford today." Kousuke yelled running after the small girl.

"Oh, yea, that's right. We have to go get those papers from him today."

At that moment Kousuke's cell phone rang.

"Hello?..yea...no...it can wait?..okay i'll be right there..bye."

"Something important I hope."

"Yea. It was Ryoko. She needs someone to walk her to the store. She lives in a pretty bad neighbor hood and I told her to call if she needed to go anywhere after dark. You don't mind walking the last few blocks alone, do you?"

"No, not at all. It's not too dark and it's only a little ways away from here."

"Thanx, Rio."

Kousuke ran off to help Ryoko and Rio kept walking toward Eye's house. She decided it would be easier and faster to take the alley the rest of the way.

About halfway through Rio realized how dark it had gotten and started to wish she hadn't taken this way.

It'll be okay. It's not that dark out and your already halfway to Eye's house.

Rio kept telling herself that it wasn't scary, but for the first timein her whole life Rio was truely afraid.

Then something in a shadow moved and Rio stopped. She listened for awhile and heard the sound of breathing.

"Who..who's there?" Rio's voice trembled as she looked all around her and saw that all the shadows had the shapes of people that could only be seen if one knew to look for them. It wasn't like Rio to overlook something for so long and whoever this was, they had been following her for a longtime. When no answer came to her question she got the idea that this was just a joke. Another one of Kousuke's sick plots to scare her, but she wasn't going to fall for this one.

But Rio soon found out that this was NOT Kousuke, or anyone else that would play a prank on her. As Rio reached for her cell phone to call Eyes about 15 huge, biker looking guys stepped out of the shadows. All of them weremuch bigger then she was and she had no weapons with her.

Should I run? And if I DO run, can I outrun all of them?

Rio had wasted too much time thinking. The men were closing in on her fast and there was no gap for her to escape from if she did decide to run.

"Hey, cutie. How ya doing tonight? Wanna have some fun?" The leader, or at least shw thought he was the leader, stepped toward her. He was holding a rope in his left hand.

Two from behind her grabbed her arms and the leader tied them together.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Rio kicked and screamed as they started to take her skirt off. After she kicked one the face they tied both her legs to different poles that were paced about 3 feet apart.

Rio cried as they raped, beat, robbed, and left her all alone in the alley. She soon feel into a kind sleep like state, in other words, she passed out from stress. Rio couldn't even hear her cell phone ring. Even if she had, she couldn't have reached it.Hours passed when she finally woke.

"Rio...Rio where are you?"

"Kou..suke, is that you?"

"Where are you, Rio?" Kousuke yelled as he ws about halfway through the alley, almost where Rio was.

"I don't want to have to say it again, Rio!"

crying sound coming from shadows

"Rio?"

"Stay away! Don't look at me," a weak voice that sounded like Rio whispered.

"Rio, it's just m..OMG!(oh my god, to those who don't know that) What happened to you!

He wanted an answer, but she couldn't speak ,culdn't even look him in the eye.

He untied her and held her in his arms.

i'm so sorry ,Rio. This is all my faut. I never should have made you walk alone at night." Kousuke tried to hold her, comfort her in any way he could, but she wouldn't even look up. Her eyes were filled with tears and had lost all life that they had ever had in them.

Kousuke took out his cel phone and called 911. She needed to be taken to a hospital soon. She was bleeding from her head and stomach.

Later: In a hosital waiting room.

"It's all my faultthis happened to her. I shoud have walked her to your place, " Kousuke said to Eyes as they waited to hear the news on Rio.

"You can't blame yourself, Kousuke. You didn't know that she would take the alley, or that there would be a gang waiting in it," Eyes tried to settle Kousuke down before Ryoko arrived.

"I got here as fast as I could. What happened? Is she okay?"

"We don't kow yet," Kosuke replied, lookig at the floor. He never looked up. Not until the doctor came in to announce Rio's condition.

"She'll be okay. She has stitches in her stomach, buth other then that the only thing she'll need is possibly some thearopy."

"Can we go see her?" Kousuke blurted out.

"She's sleeping right now. but you can go in if you don't wake her. She's had a pretty bad night."

"Thank you, Dr. Neal." Eyes said shaking the doctor's hand before joining his friends to go up to Rio's room.

They quietly walked into Rio's room and found seats. Kousuke sat by the window, Ryoko sat by the door, and Eyes sat by the bed. All of them sat in silence until Ryoko had to leave.

"Sorry to have to leave like this, but I have a track meet tomorrow morning and I have to get some rest. I'll be back right after the meet to see her."

"I better be going to. I have to call and cancel my tour to France that I'm supposed to leave for tomorrow morning. I can't leave Rio for a week right away after this." Eyes said standing up.

"I'll stay here with her so she's not alone when she wakes up. Besides, I don't want to leave her alone for one second after tonight."

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Eyes said as he walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

Kosuke sat there for hours, waiting for Rio to wake up. He worried that she wouldn't after four hours passed, but he still sat there all night. Soon it was 5:36 am and she woke.

Rio sat up and looked around the room. She noticed Kousuke and sighed.

Why am I afraid to look at him? He should be ashamed of me. I'm a whore. A stupid little whore who got herself in trouble and worried her friends for hours whileI just cried, helpless and naked in an alley.

"Rio, I'm so sorry this happened to you."

"..."

"Please say something...anything."

"..."

"Just say yu hate me for ot being there, yell at me, hit me! DO SOMETHING!"

"It's not your fault..that i got hurt. It was stupid of me to take the alley at night and I overlooked all the signs that they were there."

"Don't say that. I should have been there for you. I should have been there to teach those guys a lesson for even thinking of hurting the one I love! I'm sorry, Rio. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

Well, that's it for chapter one. What did you think? Did I make it too cheesy? I think I did ,but I promise I'll continue to update as soon as I can. Please review and give suggestions to help me with the next chapter. I know what I want to do after Rio gets out of the hospital, but shouldI have some stuff happenwhile she's still there? Tell me what you think. Bu-byez 0
