Waking up to a dream Kagome flinched as her arm flared in pain. She looked at her right wrist and cocked an eyebrow. "I thought I died." She said as she sat up. She looked towards the ground and Bonkotsu was near the bed, leaning back on the wall sleeping. Her head was pounding and she couldn't focus on what had happen. "I cut myself and Bonkotsu tried to patch me up but I fought back." She whispered making sure not to wake her brother. "Then I blacked out." She looked at her wrist that was patched up neatly then looked at her brother compassionately. "Why did you save me? Why bother with me?" She said as she ran her fingers gently through his hair. Suddenly Bonkotsu swiftly grabbed her hand.
"K-Kagome" He said half asleep. "Kagome y-y-your okay aren't you?" He said focusing on her. "I was so worried you didn't wake up and-"
"Why didn't you take me to the hospital if you were so worried?" she said as she stood up.
"Kagome please you can't stand up just yet you have to rest more." He said as he got up.
She slapped his hand away. "Answer my question."
"I didn't want mom and dad to know." He said looking at the ground.
She smirked and chuckled weakly. " You didn't wanted to be accused of anything right? Why don't you just tell them what I did?" she said walking slowly to the door.
"Just say I just didn't want to okay. When our parents come back just tell them that a dog bit you or something alright." He said as he picked her up gentle. Cradling her in his arms.
"What are you doing? Put me down."
"Just promise me you won't tell mom and dad what you did." He said with a serious look on his face.
"What ever just let me go." Letting her go she went into her room and she couldn't believe that her room was spotless. The blood on the floor was cleaned and the broken frame on the wall was removed. It was like nothing happened and it was going to be a secret. She didn't understand why he didn't want his parents to know about all this but she promised to keep it quiet.
The next day she went to school and Bonkotsu's friends was getting a little to close to her.
"Good morning Kagome." Hojo said happily as Kagome tried to look for her biology book in her locker.
"Shut it. You're bothering me." She said
"Oh come on sweet heart you know you love me." He said enthusiastically.
Kagome slammed her locker and fiercely looked at him as if she was going to kill him. "You call me sweet heart one more time I'll strangle you." She turned around and started to walk to biology.
"Can't you at least smile when you say that? You know I don't ever recall seeing you smile." Kagome let out a sigh and clutch her hands to her side tightly. Trying to restrain herself from strangling the annoying pest she took an immeasurably big breath of air, calming her down.
"Can you restrain yourself from following me?" She inquired as she went in the classroom. She took a seat and placed her elbows on the desk, resting her hands on the palms of her hands.
Hojo went in front of her and did the same immensely close to her face. He smiled as she just glared at him face to face. " Oh come on sweet heart I was just trying to make you feel better." Kagome turned her hands into a tight fist as Hojo continued to talk. "Besides I'm trying to make you smile baby. Don't you think that if you smiled our conversation can go on smoothly sweet heart?" Kagome suddenly punched Hojo straight in the face and he landed on his butt covering his nose in pain.
"I told you not to call me that didn't I?" I tried to warn you." She said with a smirk and at the same time Bonkotsu entered the classroom and rushed to Hojo's side. The people in the class stared and whispered to each other.
"Kagome what did you do?" Her brother asked.
"What does it look like man she totally punched me in the face." He complained.
"Oh come on take it like a man. I didn't punch you that hard besides I told you not to call me Sweet heat."
In anger Hojo got up still covering his now bleeding nose. "Well I'm still going to call you that. Okay Sweet heart." He said slowly as he smirked.
Kagome got up swiftly and the two boys took a step back. She moved toward Hojo and Bonkotsu with her fist to the side of her.
"M-Man S-Stop her." He said as he moved back holding his breath.
"K-Kagome please just relax. He didn't mean it." Her brother said
"Yea Kagome I was just kidding." Kagome stopped and smiled.
"So Hojo you wanted to see a smile huh? So here it is." She placed her hand on Hojo's Cheek and he closed his eyes. "What's wrong Hojo?" She clenched her right hand into a fist and as Hojo was about to smile. Kagome gave him a right hook completely forgetting about her wound. She then took a step back as she held her wrist in pain. "Damn it." Her arm coursed with pain.
Bonkotsu rushed to her side. "Are you alright? Damn it Kagome why did you do that?" He placed a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her. "Did the wound open up?" He examined her wrist and blood didn't appear. "Jezz don't do that okay?"
"Don't give me orders brother." She exited the room and headed towards the roof. Making sure that her brother didn't follow her.
When she finally reached the roof she notice the Silver haired boy sleeping as he leaned back upon the fence. Approaching him quietly she went on her knees as she got close to him. She had to admit that he was cute and he looked so peaceful. His hair looked so soft and she was tempting to touch his hair.
Should I? Or maybe not? She asked herself as she stared at him.
She sighed and notice that a tear slid down his chin. Kagome placed her right hand on his cheek without even thinking about it and whipped his tears away. The boy rapidly grabbed her wrist.
"Ouch let me go." The boy let her go and Kagome held her wrist to her chest closing her eyes in pain.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't know it was you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She said quickly.
The boy looked at her wrist as he noticed the white bandages wrapped around it. "What did you do to yourself?" He inquired.
"What makes you think I did this to myself." She said a bit worried.
"The wrappings are precisely the point where a person would try to kill there self."
"So what if I did. It doesn't matter because my dumb ass brother saved me." She stayed where she was as she remain holding her wrist tightly in anger.
"So you wanted to die is that it?" All Kagome did was flinch at his remark. She honestly didn't know what she wanted to do when she cut her wrist. Was it to get rid of the pain or was it simple to die? "So what is it? Did you want to die?" He shoved his hand in his pocket and took out a pocketknife and snapped it open. He was angry and she didn't understand why. "So if you want to kill yourself so badly. Here's your chance." He tossed the knife in front of her. "Well what are you waiting for?"
Kagome trembled as she stared at the knife continuously. She didn't lay her eyes off it but just reached for it. Holding the knife in her hands she trembled vigorously. "W-Why are y-you doing this." She said as fear was placed on her face.
"To show you how god damn stupid you are." He said as she got up and snatched the knife away from her. Tears ran down her cheek as she looked up at him.
She squeezed her hands into a fist as she continued to tremble. "I'm nothing, I can't amount to anything." She raised her right hand and punched the ground. "They left me. They left me all alone. Why couldn't they take me with them? I was left here all alone." Punching the wall again she wiped her tears away. Blood smeared her face and she looked at her hand.
"What the." The boy grabbed her hand and took out a cloth. Wrapping it tightly around her wrist he pressed on it and looked at her. "Damn it your cut opened up." Lifting her up from the ground he headed toward the door.
"No wait you can't."
"What do you mean I have to if I don't get help your injury will get worst?"
"No please. Get my brother." Laying her down onto the floor gently he quickly ran down the stairs into the corridor. He shoved through fleets of students in the halls not knowing what her brother even looks like in the beginning he went to his Biology class and went to a group of girls gathered in the class. The bell rang and groups of people flooded in the classroom filling up the seats.
"Excuse me. Do you know who Kagome Higurashi's brother is?" He asked the group of girls before they took their seats.
"Wait Kagome… Well not really. She's not one to socialize with people you know." One girl said as she twirled the ends of her hair continuously.
"Oh I know. Remember guys? That cutie with Hojo."
"So his name is Hojo?" He asked frantically looking at his watch.
"No his name is Bonkotsu. If you're looking for him his class is at the end of the hall." As the girl finally finished he ran towards the door.
"Now where are you going Mr. Otonashi?" The teacher said as he entered the classroom.
"I have to leave the class for a moment. I just got to-"
"Take your seat Mr. Otonashi. Now." The teacher insisted as he pushed him towards his seat.
Meanwhile Kagome groaned as her vision blurred and her body weakened. It was getting harder and harder to see as every minute passed. The silvered hair boy didn't come back for almost 5 minutes and as her own blood pooled beside her she sighed. She smiled and she rested her left hand on her forehead, trying to block the sun from her eyes. "Maybe dieing is the easier way." She said as she floated back and fourth in to consciousness.
She heard the door open and looked towards it but couldn't make out whom it was. Noticing his long silver hair she sighed. "It took you a long time. Where's Bonkotsu?" She said weakly.
The silver haired boy took off his shirt and tore it in half. She wrapped another layer of his torn shirt around her wrist to prevent the blood to drip everywhere and carried her.
"Where's my brother?" She asked as she lost consciousness.
"Don't worry I'll take care of you." He said as he went down stairs and exited the school without being seen.
The boy tapped his foot uncontrollable as 8 minutes passed. The teacher was going on and on and the boy just looked at his watch. "Damn it I can't take this anymore." He said as he got up and headed toward the door.
"What do you think you're doing Mr. Otonashi? Go back to your seat now." The teacher demanded.
"I have to go to the office." He said simple as he exited and ran through the hallway and stopping at the last class. He entered the classroom as everyone looked toward him.
"Sorry to bother you Ms. Ushino but I've been sent from vice principal Odagiri to retrieve Bonkotsu Higurashi." He said professionally hoping that the teacher would buy his act.
"Oh sure thing, Bonkotsu you can get the notes from a friend." Ms. Ushino said kindly as Bonkotsu got out. As they passed the classes safely the silver haired boy grabbed Bonkotsu's wrist and dragged him to the direction of the roof entrance.
"What the fuck are you-"
"Your sister's wound opened up. She's bleeding. I was going to carry her to the nurse's office but she insisted for me to call you. Now come on she's on the roof." When they finally got to the roof he stopped looking at the pool of blood on the cement floor. "Where did she go? I left her right here." He said looking around him.
"Where is she? Where's my sister?" Bonkotsu panicked as he ran out the door. "Clean this up I'll go and find her." She yelled back at the boy as he ran through the hall. Not caring who saw him.
