But back to the story...
The morning after what happened, Ultraviolet didn't get up right away. Harumi couldn't blame her anyway. She didn't bother Ultraviolet and left her alone.
Harumi started thinking about what to do with Nya that day. Nya had been eating normally since the day Harumi caught her.
Harumi sat at her desk in her room and thought about that for a second.
Nya never liked Harumi anyway. She thought Harumi was ok, but never thought of her as a friend. Now she does. She needs Harumi more than ever now.
Nya thought she should go to Harumi about what to do that day as Harumi didn't know. She had an idea too.
Nya walked up the stairs to Harumi's room and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Nya heard Harumis voice from inside
"Harumi, it's Nya. Can come in?"
Harumi quickly put a sweatshirt on and opened the door
"Sure, Nya. What's up?"
"Do you want to workout today?"
Harumi figured she could make time, especially if it's helping someone recover from an eating disorder.
"Sure Nya. I'll be out in 5 minutes."
"Thanks, Harumi."
"Anytime."
Harumi paced around her room and looked for her sports clothes. She eventually found a tank top and leggings.
She put on the outfit and tied her hair up into a bun. She breastfeed Crystal and left to go find Nya.
Nya was outside in the backyard. When Harumi found her, Nya had already stretched and was ready to go.
Harumi did a few quick stretches and was ready.
"What do you want to do first?" Harumi asked Nya
Nya thought for a second.
"I can start with jumping jacks."
Harumi nodded
"That sounds good. You can do 20 of them, and I will go get us some food. When that's done, you could do curl-ups."
"Ok."
While Nya did that, Harumi went inside
Harumi went to the kitchen and grabbed 2 cups from the cabinet.
She filled them up with water and cut up some cheese and crackers.
She put them on a plate and brought them back outside, where Nya was doing curl-ups.
The 2 girls ran in place for about 3 minutes, then lifted weights, and finally did push-ups. However, since Nyas's arms were weak from malnutrition, she could only do 10.
"Harumi, I need to stop." Nya said though pants
Harumi stopped her and sat her down
"What's wrong, Nya?"
Nya started blacking out and leaning on Harumi for support
"Nya? Are you ok?"
"No."
Harumi grabbed a nearby chair and sat Nya down in it
"Stay here. Im going to get someone. In the meantime, drink this and eat this."
Harumi ran inside and got Skylor, the master of amber. Skylor volunteered as a nurse at the hospital 2 times a week.
"Skylor, somethings wrong with Nya. I think the workout was too much."
"Ok. I'm on my way.
Skylor came out with Harumi and saw Nya drinking water and eating food.
"Nya, what's wrong?" Skylor asked
Nya was too weak to respond
"Nya started blacking out after we did push-ups. I think her being in ED recovery had something to do with it." Harumi said
Skylor thought
"Did she have something to eat beforehand?"
"I think so."
Skylor picked up Nyas hand
"She needs to get inside."
"Good idea."
Harumi picked Nya up and brought her inside
Harumi brought Nya to her room and laid her down. She gave Nya some more food and drink. Nya slowly but surely looked better and sat up
"Nya, are you ok?" Harumi asked her in a worried tone
"I am now, thanks to you two." Nya made a gesture toward Harumi and Skylor
Harumi and Nya sat in silence
"I'll leave you two alone." Skylor said as she left the room
Once Skylor left, Harumi turned to Nya
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea. We should have waited until you gained weight." Harumi said
"I agree. Im only 74 pounds right now. This wasn't a good idea."
Harumi and Nya agreed
"So, what weight do you want to be at as a 5 foot 5 female?" Harumi asked out of the blue
"I dunno. Maybe 120 pounds." Nya said
"That's good. Maybe we should wait until your at least 100 until we do this again."
"I agree."
Nya and Harumi were quiet for a minute
"Do you want to do something else?"
"Sure."
"Ill take you to a restaurant. Anywhere you want. I feel bad."
Nya thought a minute
"Let's go to Skylors Noodle House. We can say we are related to her and get free food."
"Good point."
Nya and Harumi grabbed their stuff and put on other clothes.
Nya was wearing a T-Shirt and jeans
Harumi was wearing a skirt with leggings and a nice top
Nya noticed Harumi wasn't wearing makeup
"Why don't you wear makeup anymore?" Nya asked her
Harumi was taken aback
"Because I don't need it. I'm beautiful enough and I can't preach about loving yourself and wear a full face of makeup."
Nya understood
"Wanna get Skylor?"
"Sure."
Nya got Skylor downstairs and told her they were going to her Noodle House
"That's a good idea. Nya needs some food, after all."
Skylor went with them so they could get free food
X
Once at the restaurant, Skylor brought Nya and Harumi bowls of noodles.
"I have to go serve some tables. I'll be back in 10 minutes."
"Ok. Thanks, Skylor." Harumi said
"Anytime."
Once Skylor left, Harumi turned to Nya
"Again, I'm so sorry for earlier. I should have known that would happen."
"Don't blame yourself."
They were quiet for about 3 minutes
"So why were those police officers at our house yesterday?" Nya asked
Harumi took a deep breath
"I told Lloyd yesterday. I might as well tell you."
"What's up?"
"A man named Ryan Anderson raped me everyday for 7 months while I was at an ED recovery clinic."
Nya was speechless
"Harumi, that's terrible. I had no idea."
"He forced himself on me."
Nya was quiet
"My 13-year-old body. My underage body."
"Harumi, that's fucked up what he did."
Harumi was quiet
"I know. He's in jail now."
"Do you tolerate that in the Sons of Garmadon?" Nya asked
"Absolutely not. Never in a million years. We might have been a criminal gang, but trust me when I say that we were accepting of everyone. We respect everyone there. No matter what gender, no matter what sexuality, no matter what race." Harumi replied
"And why is that?"
"We are all human and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Why, is there something on your mind?"
"Yes, actually."
"What's up?"
"You know Mike, that SOG who used to work for you?" Nya said
"Yes. What about him?"
"That man. He captured me a couple of days after Garmadon first rose to power. When he did, he raped me to get our plans. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you would react."
Harumi was speechless
"Nya, that's not ok. If you would have told me earlier, I would have kicked him off the force."
"Really?"
'Really. I do not tolerate that on any level."
Nya laughed
"What's funny?" Harumi asked
"If you were not a criminal gang, I might have worked for you."
Both girls laughed
"Nya, that's what I admire about you. You stand up for what's right everyday. That's admirable."
Nya took a deep breath before saying the next part
"You may not know this about me, but I am a transgender woman."
Harumi looked at her
"I always knew I was a girl, even though I was born a boy. Luckily, I had supportive parents who helped me transition young. So that's why I stand up for people. Because I know what it feels like to be attacked and denied because of who I am." Nya said
"Thank you for sharing that with me. Please know I fully accept and support you. I also had an SOG that was transgender and lesbian. She's openly trans."
Nya was shocked
"Who is it?"
"Ultraviolet."
Nya was shocked again
"She is?"
"Yes. She came out to me 2 years after I started the SOGs. Even though she knew we fully accepted LGBTQ+ and supported trans rights, she was scared for some reason. I think the reason being that her parents disowned her for it when she was 10. That's why she lived at the base."
"Well, that's sad. If her parents could not accept her for who she is, they should not have had kids."
"I agree, Nya. I went over to her house several times, and her parents made it clear they did not support LGBTQ+. So when Ultraviolet came out, they kicked her out. She said that her dad ripped up all the photos that had her in it, declaring they would not have a gay trans daughter, and her mom threw her stuff out the window. She also said that her dad told her she shamed him."
Nya was shocked
"How did she come to you without telling you?"
"She came by the base in tears, saying her parents died. Of course, I let her stay there full time. It was only 1 year later, that I found out what really happened."
Before Nya could say more, Skylor came back over
"It's on me. You guys don't have to pay."
"Thank you, Skylor." Nya said
Nya and Harumi packed up their stuff and thanked Skylor again
"Skylor, you really helped. Thank you again."
"No problem Nya."
"Wanna visit Killow?" Harumi asked
"Sure. Might as well."
Nya and Harumi got in their car and drove toward Kryptarium prison
Once there, they went right down to Killows cell
Harumi visited him a lot now, almost everyday. She never saw Rebecca, though.
Harumi walked down and Nya followed. Harumi knew where it was at this point, as she had gone enough to know
Harumi stood in front of Killows cell
"Hi, Killow."
Killow turned around
"Hi, Harumi! I see you brought your friend with you."
Harumi laughed
"Yes, I did. This is Nya, although you probably already knew that."
This time, Killow laughed
"Yes, I did."
Nya suddenly spoke
"Harumi said it's weird she hadn't seen Rebecca lately. Have you seen her?" Nya asked
"Yeah, Killow. Do you know where she is?"
Killow thought. She's an elemental master, so she has a different schedule than me. She's probably coming in from outdoor time right now."
Sure enough, Harumi saw Rebecca coming inside.
"Let me talk to her." Harumi said
"Sure." Nya left to go get a guard
About 4 minutes later, Rebecca came over
Harumi hardly recognized
Her french braid had come undone and was now straight long blonde hair. Her red uniform was gone, replaced with brown prison clothes.
"We meet again Rebecca."
Rebecca turned around and saw Harumi standing there
"Well well, if it isn't for the blonde girl who always made me doubt? To what do I owe the pleasure?" Rebecca asked, condescendingly
"Your blonde too, Rebecca."
Rebecca scoffed
"I see your with your idiot friend rig-WOAH!"
Rebecca stopped when she noticed Nya
Rebecca walked over to her and examined her
"Gosh, your so thin!"
Nya was taken aback
"Umm...thanks I guess."
Harumi was pissed
"Rebecca, she's in ED recovery right now. Leave her alone."
"Shes what? Does that mean she will lose her beauty and become ugly as hell again?"
Harumi was horrified. Killow was shocked. Rebecca was mean, and sometimes condescending, but he didn't know she was like this.
"Rebecca, if I were you, I would shut your mouth."
Rebecca just laughed
"Well, your not me. That's why I say Nya should keep doing what she's doing, whether she's starving herself or not, to keep on doing it. If she's starving herself, she should keep doing that. If she's making herself throw up, she should keep doing that, otherwise, she'll just keep getting fatter. No offense."
Nya started crying
"I can't do this anymore. Im going home for a snack." Nya said through tears and left the prison.
"Throw it up while you're at it pig!" Rebecca shouted after her
Nya ran faster
Harumi turned to Rebecca
"You're a sick human, I hope you know that."
Rebecca laughed again
"You're abnormally skinny as well. Are you anorexic?" Rebecca asked
Harumi was really mad
"What is your problem? An eating disorder is not something you should glorify or glamorize. If you mention food around Nya, she could relapse and die. Do you want that?"
Rebecca smirked
"If she dies beautiful and skinny."
Then Harumi had an idea
Harumi took out her hand out and flipped Rebecca off
The entire prison went quiet, and Killow was shocked
"There. That's what you get. People like you don't change, and never will."
Harumi started to walk away, but Rebecca grabbed her by her arm
Harumi has good reflexes though, and punched Rebecca in the face
Rebecca stumbled back, but eventually regained her balance.
"Little bitch!"
Rebecca tried to roundhouse Harumi, but Harumi grabbed her leg and threw her over her shoulder.
Rebecca flew over Harumi and landed on the ground face-first with a thump
The inmates started yelling
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
A guard came over and tried to break it up, but failed
Killow saw what was happening and a guard let him out to break it up. However, neither Rebecca nor Harumi were listening to him, begging them to stop
Rebecca threw a punch at Harumi's leg, but Harumi countered it with a punch to the hamstring
The force of the punch caused Rebecca to stumble back in pain, but she eventually kicked Harumi, who fell down
Rebecca started yelling at her and hitting her in the face
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"
Harumi kicked her off
"MORE LIKE WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT!"
Rebecca swore some more, then tried to slam Harumi into a nearby wall
But Harumi is smart, and slammed Rebecca instead
By now, Harumi's nose was bleeding and her shirt was torn
Rebecca, on the other hand, had a broken arm and a gashed face
Killow saw this was getting way out of hand
He stepped between both girls, one hand on each of them
"That's enough! Both of you need to stop!"
Rebecca and Harumi tried to attack each other some more, but to no avail.
A guard came over and took Rebecca away, and gave Harumi some water to clean her nose and a safety pin to hold her shirt closed
"That's really not like you, Harumi. To flip someone off and start a fight." Killow said
"I didn't start it, she did!" Harumi said
She knew this was false, but she could try it anyway
"I don't care who started it! I get that what she said triggered your ED, but that's not a reason to flip someone off and practically beat the shit out of them. You even told me not to use violence after I punched Rebecca."
Harumi realized that what he said was true
"Your right, Killow. I'm sorry."
"I know you are, Harumi."
"Can you tell Rebecca I'm sorry for me?"
Killow smiled
"Sure."
A guard came over
"Ma'am visiting hours are over."
Harumi said goodbye and left the prison
X
When she got back home, she went upstairs and looked at her phone
All of the sudden, she heard a knock on the door
"Come in."
Lloyd and Ultraviolet came in
"I heard what happened. Did you get into a fight at the prison? Killow called me."
Harumi sighed
"Lloyd, it's nothing."
"It's not nothing, Harumi. Somethings clearly wrong." Ultraviolet said
Harumi thought for a second
"It's dumb."
"Harumi, tell us." Ultraviolet urged
Lloyd and Ultraviolet came forward and sat down on the bed
"I keep thinking about when I first got sick."
"What?" Lloyd said out loud
"It's stupid, but today Rebecca glorified an eating disorder, calling Nya ugly and fat if she recovered. And when she said that I looked anorexic, I panicked. But that does not excuse my behavior."
"Your right, it doesn't." Ultraviolet said
"But there are some days you can't escape it, even in your own room." Harumi made a gesture toward the picture of her and Killow
"The photo. The photo of you right before you passed out." Ultraviolet said sadly
"Im so sorry you're going through this Harumi, I really am." Lloyd said
"Thanks. I know I can get through it with you guys beside me."
"Yes, you can."
They all hugged.
