Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait. here is chapter 6!

Chapter 6: The Fall

It was getting dark when Rina decided that it was time to head home. She put her hand on her cheek, feeling a bump.

She had a fight with the Rukawa's cheerleaders that day after school.

"How did I get into this mess?" Rina sighed and looked down at her feet, knowing that she was almost home. "Aya is going to be mad." As Rina was walking up to the house, a sudden wave came over her.

'I can hear my heartbeat. Whats with this aching pain? What's happenning to me?' Questioning herself, she grabbed her uniform. Finally the pain was getting too much for her. She started to bend, but had fallen down and collasped.

Later when Rina regained conciousness, she was in her bedroom. The walls were painted in a happy yellow color. It had gotten completey dark outside.

Rina got out of her bed, thinking that she was still dreaming. "What the..?" She did even finish her sentence to herself, when she heard a loud racking downstairs. She rushed down the stairs to see what was going on. Only to find Aya holding a plate full of burned..something?

"Aya, just what is that that you're holding?" Asked the confused girl.

"Oh you're awake! Sorry, I must have woken you up." Aya smiled with humor and put the plate of burned food down. "How do you feel? You still look like you were beaten up or something"

Jackpot! Rina thought. Even though she was in-a-fight it was more like she got jumped. She still had that bumped on her cheek and scratches were still on her arm.

"How did I end up in my bed?" Rina was bewildered.

"Well, when I came home, I found you unconcious on the door steps. I was going to call the ambulance when I remembered about.." Aya slowly tilted off the subject. She didn't want to cross the line.

"So that's what happened. Again," rina frowned when she had learned there was an attack again. "It seems to be getting worse and worse," she headed to the living room as she continued on. "However, I for one will never ever get it done."

There was a slow moment of silence.

Aya opened the fridge and took out a bag of frozen beans. 'Surgery, she still hasn't considered it yet i guess.'

"What do you want to eat Rina?" Aya with a slight grin on her face.

"What ever you can cook up that's been tested." Rina replied playfully.

"You sure changed your mood fast now don't you? And what do you mean by tested?" Aya was questioning Rina, even though she knew what she mean't. Even though they haven't lived together of a long time now, they would still understand a bit of each other. Aya would always try and cook up something funny once in a while just for the fun of it. And so dinner came.

"So how do you like shokuho?" Aya wanted to make a converstion.

"Ehhh.. school will always be school. There's nothing too different about it, ever," replied Rina as she continued to stuff her face with chicken.

"Straight foward opinions hunh? Seems to always be that way. Well, have you made new friends?"

That question reminded Rina of the red head monkey earlier that day. "Hmm.. sort of.."

"That's good. You have to keep your studies up too."

"Yea, I know," said Rina in her bored tone.

"Make sure you eat up!" Aya knew that the conversation was already ending. Rina had always talked so much over the phone, but that evening was strange. 'I guess that attack really can change her.'

"Ahh morning!" So down the stairs Rina walked that morning. The sun was shining brightly, but somehow Rina knew that there was a hard day ahead of her.

She headed to school and by the time she reached the doorway, there was really a big crowd of people talking about her fight with Rukawa's crazy cheerleaders.

So that's that. I realized that all of my chapters a pretty short. There was nothing much in this chapter, wait till the next one. Hehe, something is gonna happen. By the way if you were confused about the whole surgery thing, then you will have to remain being confused until further on in the story :)
