A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry that I haven't been updating as much as I used to. Things at school have been rather…tough…and I'm trying to get through them. I thank all of the people who have been reading this up until this point, though I'm sorry that I have been taking so long ;

And I think that I'm going to add a little something that might help in the reading…that is if you can find the mp3 ; if not you can simply send me either an IM or an e-mail saying that you would want to have the song x3

Mamotte Ageru- I'll protect you

/Sunao's POV/

Sighing loudly, my eyes in a rather bored manner, scanning the empty room before me. Shaking my head; moving a hand to the side of my head only to brush some of the strands that were nagging at me since I got into the classroom; back behind one of my ears.

Days seem to simply stretch out making things seem so slow…it was rather annoying, really. But in my opinion…beggars can't really be choosers.

No one paying attention to me once-oh-ever, even if there were people in here in the first place; I slipped off in the direction of my seat. Being one of the students that sat in the front, my form passed a couple of my classmates that seemed to be having a play fight of their own.

If Hashiba and I would get into one of those…I think that I would probably win. Smirking inwardly, I shook the thought away…the image of me hitting him with a frying pan…yes, I would win then.

He would hurt for a month, a year probably, if hit the right way…though I didn't want to hurt him…that…much. Bringing myself back out from my daze, my hues turned to the classroom, still strange that it seemed like the only people that were currently present would be…three people including myself.

All seemed so quiet, by now one would think that things would be crowded, loud and all of those things. But right now…it seemed very odd…

My sights now slowly turning in the direction in which the window was; releasing a soft sigh, I blinked once I saw two arms slowly wrapping around my shoulders.

Turning to face the person that was holding me, thinking that it might be Matsuri-chan or someone that I knew only to meet a pair of cat-like emerald green colored eyes; gasping softly, I tried to pry my way out from his hold only making a smirk play upon his features.

He had been in my class for a while now but I knew that he was one of the people that were in a gang…though they were never known for doing something drastic. Do you call this drastic?

"What do you want?" I spat at him with a glare, thinking that he would back off though it seemed like it only gave him more encouragement to come at me again. Hissing softly, I moved my head to one side.

"Why…that's a stupid question." He simply commented as he pulled me closer to him, why was this happening to me now? Shaking my head, I began to thrash around though my wrists were suddenly held up by a second person behind me. Gasping softly, I looked up, trying to see if I could identify the second guy's face though my sights were pulled to the one about my chest.

It heaving in and out as he licked at the side of my neck; should I cry for help? Should I scream at the top of my lungs? Or should I sit here…waiting…waiting to be saved?

"What do you want with me-!" I asked out loud though I was hushed with the others lips. Eyes opening wide, I gasped against the said kiss only to turn away, disgusted. I would right now clean my mouth with my sleeve if it wasn't already grasped within a bind.

"We want your body, is that so much to ask?" The boy on top of me said while the one behind me cackled. I hissed, "Don't you have any other hobby or pass time? Have you heard of mast- Gah!" My eyes fell to a close once I felt a sudden pressure being pressed in the middle of my legs. His knee was right in between.

He pressed further since I had been almost pulled out of my chair. And also since the desk was one of a table that could be moved from where it was standing; I began to squirm though the boy's hands met my hips to hold me in place.

I whimpered, if I screamed they could have a gun hiding or simply do worse… but what could be worse being raped in a classroom?

"L-Let me go!" my cheeks betraying me with a blush as I returned to glaring at him. He simply chuckled as if I told him some kind of joke "I don't think that we can reply to that, currently."

And with that he began to trail his hands upwards underneath my shirt. I squirmed again underneath him, his digits meeting my nipples, I gasped as I tilted my head to one side… "L-Leave…leave me alone!"

I continued to squirm though the pressure of his knee increased making small tears begin to form at the edges of my eyes. "No thank you." He simply said, leaning down to my chest making his lips meet the nipple that he was touching.

More tears coming, my mind now in a blank… "Ha…Hashi…ba…save…save me…" I said pleadingly though knowing that maybe I wouldn't be answered by no one…not even him. Just then, as of cue, the sound of the door being opened; my eyes shot open only to see a familiar blue haired male. "Ha-Hashiba!"

"Fuji…what are you doing to Fujimori?" Hashiba asked as he slammed the door behind him. His eyes flaring up like I have never seen before; the guys continued to hold me until Hashiba was a few inches away.

Releasing me from their hold, me not having balance, my body began to tumble down. Grasping nothing, my hand suddenly met a strong hold.

Being pulled up by a smooth motion, I was then within Hashiba's hold. Blushing deeply, I looked up at him. Him hissing at the two males that stood within his sights.

"I'll ask again…what…were you doing to Fujimori?"

His hold tightening rather…protectively around me; I know that Ku-chan would do this same thing but…Ku-chan was right now dead…

Shaking my head, my thoughts returning to reality once more, I stared at the two males now within my sights as well. One tall, the other one seemed a bit smaller. One looked rather young and the other one…looked kind of…like if he was in special Ed to put it simpler.

"We-We were just playing with him!" one said…the one that was harassing me. I glared at him and hissed, "You did no such thing-!" I was about to keep ranting though Hashiba beat me to it.

"You think that its fun to simply push yourselves on a person just because he's good looking has good grades and are better people than you are. Well guess again. Life isn't so easy, it might be unfair but you don't have to push your problems on someone else just to prove your point. Now get out of my sits before I kick both your asses!" he barked only making the duo jump and dash off in the direction of the door.

Hearing the slam behind them, Hashiba released me from his hold only to take a grip upon my shoulders making me look at him. Offering a light smile upon his features, he tilted his head to one side "Did they hurt you? Did they do anything to you?"

Blinking, I found myself blushing once more. Narrowing my eyes, I turned away with a huff, "No, I could have taken them single handedly but you just haaad to come in, didn't you? You're always trying so hard to be the hero in everything that you do, Hashiba!" I turned away as my eyes closed and arms crossed by my chest.

I heard him shift behind me "What are you talking about? A simple "Thank you, Hashiba" would suffice!" He peeked by my side with a slight glare, which I stared into once I opened my eyes. "Yeah, well…no thank you."

I said as I moved off towards my seat, sitting neatly down awaiting for the class to begin. I heard my counterpart huff, "Are you stupid or are you just acting like you are?"

"Hashiba, look in a mirror, I'm not you."

"Baka! There isn't any school today! There's an activity outside and no one will be giving class today, which is why I was sent to look for you. Aren't you supposed to know all of these things?" annoyance hung upon every single word that resounded on that sentence. Growling softly, I simply continued to look away.

"It's not my fault that your BIG mouth couldn't let me hear when they were saying that through the speakers. You just can't stay shut, can you?" I shook my head and shrugged, already knowing his response really. Since he would always say the same thing over and over…like a tape recorder.

"I DO NOT HAVE A BIG MOUTH! You're the one who's always—"

I cut in.

"Look…just forget it…" I move in the direction of the closed door only to slide it open.

"You could at least say thank you!" He snarled once more. I looked at him with a smirk upon my lips. "Thank you…my…" I spank my behind making him blush. Though I didn't exactly know what to make of it…was it an embarrassed blush or simply just a blush, blush?

Shrugging it off, I turned to the door and walked out, shutting the door behind me not hearing another peep coming from Hashiba in the room.

Kind of odd…he would simply slam that door open and yell at me through the hallway but now…he was quiet.

Sighing softly, I moved in the direction in which the stairs were though my feet stopped in their tracks…lowering my head, I shook it.

Why was I feeling so guilty? I always treated Hashiba this way. Why was I feeling so different now?

Instead of moving up the stairs, I moved off in the direction of a near by window.

Opening it allowing the breeze to slip inside of the building though it was followed by cherry blossom petals; blinking, I stared at them dancing around me only making me smile. Maybe nature wanted me to look at the bright side of things…

Placing my hands upon the top of the window sill, I stared out. A lot of people in the middle of the outdoor theater from what I could see…though they were somewhat away; the whole school was currently alone. Well…aside from me and Hashiba and those guys but I'm not quite sure if they left or what…

Lowering my head, I rested my cheek against my folded arms. My eyes slowly sliding to a close as I released a sigh which was only echoed through the whole hallway till reaching the end. Just then I heard footsteps though I didn't bother to move. I knew, somehow, who it was already.

The footsteps came to a stop behind me… I didn't bother to look.

"It seems like everyone's having fun…including those guys that wanted to have a way with you." I heard Hashiba say though it seemed that his voice was a bit more soothing than before.

Nodding, I opened my eyes idly. "It seems so…but I don't want to talk about it, Hashiba…"

I heard him turn…and begin to walk off once more…though before he left, I heard him whisper…it sounded like a whisper but I heard it nevertheless…

"…I will protect you…Nao…"
