Saturday soon came earliy for the leafe knights, Himeno, and Hayate.

Goh woke up in his bed and recalled the time he had Thursday with the newly found beauty he had met. Her hair loose, hands soft, figure just right with curves in all the right places. Eyes, orange/red with a hint of yellow in them like the sun that he now looked apon out his window. Voice of an angle and he could only imagine what her singing voice was like which he was going to find out today.Smile like a childs yet with the showing of a very smart women... a loving women.

'', Shankeenkqu'',said Goh thinking about her even more. He suddenly wanted to get to know her more. To be a friend she depends on very much. This is what he suddenly felt that he had not felt since his parents died in leafeina. All he wanted.Yet everytime he looked in her eyes he could see a hint of danger and sadness in them. He wanted to know what made her feel that way.

Goh decided to shower to get ready to go to her proformace today. He was so exicted.

When he got downstairs everyone was waiting for him.

'', hey what took so damn long! I was getting bored ya know! hey!'', said Mannen as he felt a hand crash down on his head.

'', yeah yeah save it Mannen'', said Goh getting his coat.

'', hey Goh. Do you fell alright? earth to Goh!'', said Himeno looking at him from Hayate's embrace.

'', yeah I'm fine. Just was thinkin. Well let's go can't keep her waiting.'', said Goh looking at Hayate before heading out.

'', ehhh is he oaky?'', asked Takako in no rush to get out the door. She was in pain due to the contractions this baby was giving her. Poor Sasame.

'', he's alright. Takako are you sure you want to go in these conditions? You don't have to.'', said Kei walking out the door with Yayoi.

Takako saw Sasame look at her before she made her choice. His eyes always held concern for her. Always.

'', yeah I'm fine. Just contractions. Can't blame the baby though. now can I'', said Takako with Sasame's help sat up and got ready to go out the door.

They all arrived at the studio were Shankeenkqu was waiting for them. She was just ready to go on so they all relaxed and listened to her music. Goh in front row full attention.

"Because Of You"

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

When it was over Goh was dumbstruck. He had never ever heard such beauitful words. They only had time to talk for a little bit so Goh asked if he could walk Shankeenkqu home. She nicly refused but Goh had a feeling about this. Yet he wondered why a song like that had so much meaning to it. Everyone went home to rest while Goh went to try to talk to Shankeenkqu at least.

'', Shankeenkqu! wait can we talk!'', said Goh as he ran down the street to catch up to her.

'', Goh I told you I didn't need any help walking home! really I'm fine'', said Shankeenkqu as she knew she was lieing to him. She hated walking home but she didn't want the pressure on him at all. She got used to it. Her girlfriends all told her that she would have to stop the bad habit but she didn't listen.

'', SHANKEENQU! please I will not leave until you give me a good answer! never'', said Goh blocking her path. Shankeenkqu finally gave in and that's how it has been for 3 months now.Goh would walk her home or take her out for dinner or something.Shankeenkqu and Goh got much much closer over those 3 months and everything was alright until that one fateful Friday night,

Shankeenkqu was leaving work at 8pm. because she wanted to review the songs for her next album 'Shadow's Fear' which took her a long time. She knew that Goh said ' if I don't hear that you got in before 9pm. I'm going to look for you.' He was very nice ad they talked on the phone and met up everyday. But Goh didn't know about Shankeenkqu'a abusive boyfriend Zeroui who beat her everytime she didn't make love with him or got him angry. She wanted to break up with him but she was scared. Even for a fire knight of Bahahra herself she was scared.And he was coming back next month. She never broke being a virgin which was a struggle for her to keep it that way. She sometimes had to lock him out the house.

She walked down the rode to the bus stop were she waited for the bus that droped her off a block from her house. She started to hum the tune of Because of you when she was stopped by a voice and men surrounding her with guns.

'', hey there pretty. wanna have some fun tonight, I can make it very pleasureful'', said the guy taking Shankeenkqu's arm and pulling her towards him. Before Shankeenkqu could react she was bound by the man's arms while he moved downward to pull her skirt down. She knew what he was trying to do.

She kicked him in the shins while she quickly diled Goh's cell phone, he answered worried

'', hey Shankeenkqu, thank the heavens, I was worried when you didn't call. It's 9:00 where are you?'', asked Goh suddenly feeling something was not right with this phone call.

'', GOH! please help me don't let them ahhhehh nooo stop ah Goh- the phone cut off as Goh tried again and again to call her number but this time guy picked up and said.

'', just the perfect night to kill.'', said the guy before the phone hung up. Goh could hear screams, Shankeenkqu's screams as the phone clicked off. He then knew what he must do. He donned his jacket then got the medical bag from the bathroom before racing out the hallway and into the night. He jumped in his red sports car then drove off to Shankeenqu's job.

When he got there he heard screams down the street. When he got there he saw the guy open up Shankeenkqu's legs and saw her crying. His blood began to atomcaticlly get hot. His eyes were a redish color as she charged for the guy knocking him 3 feet away from Shankeenkqu.The only thing he was focused on was 'kill the guy' 'kill the guy' 'make him pay' 'kill the bloody pervert'

The guy opened his eyes to see Goh in his leafe knight form. '', what the hell are you?'', asked the guy in shock.

Goh just coldly replied'', your worst enemy'', he said before blasting and burning ther guy with one attack. Killing him.

He changed back then ran over to Shankeenkqu who looked up at him weakly'', I'm sorry for not listening Goh! so sorry'', said Goh as he brought her up to his chest and cradled her there, calming her.'', no no don't be, we have to get you back home, I'll drive you oaky. you'll be alright. are you hurt?'', asked Goh looking into her eyes.

'', no. they didn't have a chance to do anything bad to me before you got here. thank you... Goh.'', said Shankeenkqu as she blacked out.

Goh picked her up bridal style and put her in his car then drove to her house. It was a huge Shrine with gardens and ponds, and life. Goh came to learn that she lived here alone with her two german shepards Chang, and Zing. All by herself. Her grandmother lived with her but she was mainly out in the town all day. She was gone on a visit so it was quiet inside until Goh came in.

'', Bark Bark baarrk roof roof earhhh'', barked the dogs as they were happy to see Goh again but worried about there master to.

'', Chang, Zing move a have to get Shankeenkqu to bed, move'', said Goh as he made his way past the dogs and raced upstairs to Shankeenkqu's bedroom that was big and full of silk and satin. A large, huge canopy bed, a big flatscreen TV, own refregarator, a master bathroom, a walk in closet and a big mini bed for her dogs to sleep on. But most of all her painting set by her balcony window that she always told him she used, She told him that she loved to paint. Her mother had given it to her before she died. She loved to paint scenes that were very specail to her.

Goh laid Shankeenkqu on her bed before going in the bathroom to get a cool rag and wiped Shankeenkqu's forhead with it. This made her stir and open her eyes to look at Goh.'', huh where am I? what happened?'', asked Shankeenkqu looking around to find that she was in her room and Goh was with her.

'', some guys or whatever tried to rape you,...but never fear! Goh is here!'', said Goh in his silly mood that always made Shankeenkqu smile. '', haa thank you Goh. You always know how to make me smile. Maybe even more than that.'', said Shankkenkqu getting up and going to her closet to get nightclothes then going in the bathroom to change.

She came out wearing red and orange pants with a short sleeve top before Goh asked her.

'', what do you mean 'maybe even more than that?' '', asked Goh seeing Shankeenkqu sway before helping her back to bed.

'', well... I think it's time you knew about my abusive boyfriend... Zeroui.'', said Shankeenkqu looking at Goh's agner suddenly come to his eyes.

'', go on.'', said Goh looking at Shankeenkqu determined to know.

'', huh well he left for Paris 3 months ago and he said that he would be back. He left to go for a 'meeting with his job' he calls it. He tried to get me to make love with him but I refused. I kicked and screamed and even called the police on him one time but he just beat me for that to.'', said Shankeenkqu showing Goh the bruise forming behind her neck.

Goh's blood was once again hot. He was full of anger and wanted to now suddenly meet this, Zeroui guy. He wanted to get payback for what this guy did to his friend. Maybe even he thought his new love, maybe.

'', He binds me to ropes and slams me against walls. He curses at me and calls me a good little bitch or a cute little whore. I can't take it. He laughs at my parents death, and then acts all nice and loving in front of my grandmother but then allI say is ' tell her what you really do to me, how you treat me like your toy. Tell her.'', he warns me not to tell anyone this. He has threatened to kill me if I was found with another guy... with you. Goh.'', said Shankeenkqu, Goh beggining to see tears come out of her eyes. He hated to see her cry.

'', Shankeenkqu. I understand what your saying. You don't love him do you. You want to get away but you can't. He doesn't show you the true meaning of love but uses you then goes out to other women. So you badly want to be loved. Your like a bird traped in a cage that wants to fly and show her wings but can't. Is that what' because of you' was about? Is that what you want?'', asked Goh looking at Shankeenkqu who was staring in shock at him. he thought he had offened her but he found out that he didn't.

'', y-yyyes. that is what it's like. I want to be free of him but he won't leave me alone Goh. Please, help me! I don't want to be alone.'', said Shankeenkqu feeling a headache come on.

'', yes Shankeenkqu. I won't leave you alone I will protect you . I promise. You need to rest. As of how I said all of those things. My heart told me. '', said Goh cooling her head with the cold rag once more.

'', thank you Goh. Oh! it is 10:00 at night! your friends are probley worried about you! stay here for tonight and then you can leave tommorow oaky. Since it is Friday.'', said Shankeenkqu looking at the time.

'', Don't worry about me. Sasame should know where I went. He heard me come down the hall. he also heard the phone call to.'', said Goh covering up Shankeenkqu before leaving the room before she said

'', Goh! wait um. You don't uh mind if you ...can you... well stay here until I fall asleep?. I mean you don't have to'', said Shankeenkqu with abit of saddness in her eyes.

Goh looked at her and then he had to give up, he wanted to make sure that she was okay of course.'', yeah,sure Shankeenkqu...go to sleep now'', said Goh pulling up a chair to sit next to Shankeenkqu's bed. '', thank you...my knight.'', said Shankeenkqu as she whispered it before falling into a deep sleep.

Goh heard this and couldn't believe what he heard. 'her knight' he had once heard Himeno call Hayate this and that made him very happy. What was Goh to her. He had yet to find out as he to drifted off into a slumber of peace.
