Hello everyone, I'm here with a new story. I've got a lot of them and I want to try and get as many as I can out. This is an AU, rated for language, lemon/lime, mention of rape—sorry, but some people are sensitive to that subject, which is understandable—character death. If you are offended by anything that was mentioned here and still decide to read it, please understand that this is a story, something I am writing and sharing with all of you and I am not looking to anger or upset anyone. I know rape is no laughing matter, which is why I said mention of rape. Rape will only be mentioned, no rape will take place.

Also, moments of OOC at times, but this is just a minor bit to the story, but I felt the need to point that out as well.

Now, if everyone is okay with this, please enjoy the first chapter.

Saito Hiraga sat on the front step, a bored expression crossing his face as he watched as cars drove down the street. Looking down at his phone, he sighed as he scratched the side of his head, "I don't get it. Louise usually calls me around this time an-" hearing the gate open, he looked up and his eyes widened when he spotted the parents of his childhood friend, Louise Vallière, stepping through the gate, stern looks crossing their faces.

Stopping in front of the black-haired young man, the two looked down at him and Saito looked around in confusion before looking at the two in front of him, "W-where's Louise?" the two stared at him with narrowed eyes as he lightly chuckled and shook his head, "W-where's Louise? I know you two hate me and I hate you guys, but…but you two never lied to me when it came to Louise, so where is sh-"

"Come with us," Louise's mother, Karin said in a cold tone and Saito's eyes widened, "We'll take you to Louise, just come with us, boy," slowly nodded, Saito stood up and followed them out of the yard.

Saito sat in the back of the car as it drove down the street, the three sat in silence. Saito looked up and frowned, "Where uh…where are you two taking me? Where's Louise?"

"We're taking you to see her," Karin answered without looking back, "She's in the hospital and-"

"The hospital!" Saito shouted, his eyes wide, "What happened! Is she okay? Why is she in the-"

"We're not talking about it," Louise's father, Centurion said in a stern tone.

"No…no you can't just tell me my best friend is in the hospital and then expect me to just-"

"We're not talking about it!" Centurion shouted again, looking through the rearview mirror with narrowed eyes, "Since you are her friend, we thought you should be there. Ask again and we'll through you out of this car boy!" Saito sighed and slowly nodded before the car ride fell silent again as Saito looked out the window.

Saito paced the waiting room while Louise's older sisters, Éléonore and Cattleya watched him, "Saito, why don't you sit down," Cattleya suggested, "You'll end up in here if you don't calm down an-"

"How can I calm down!" Saito snapped, looking at the two, "My best friend is in the hospital and no one is telling me a goddamn thing! What happened to Louise? Why is she in the-"

"Will you shut up!" Éléonore snapped and Saito stared at the blonde woman, "We're all worried about Louise, but pacing around like a caged tiger isn't going to change the fact that you will find out what happened to her soon enough. Now stop shouting, we're in a hospital in case you haven't-"

"Saito," the three looked up and saw Karin standing by the door of the waiting room, waving the young man over. The two sisters looked at each other with skeptical looks crossing their faces before looking up to see Saito stepping closer to their mother and the two of them walked out of the room.

Karin led Saito down the hall before Saito stopped and sighed as he shook his head, "Can you please tell me why Louise is in the hospital? Is she okay? What happened?" Karin sighed as she stopped and looked back, "Please…Louise is my best friend and I'd like to know what happened to-"

"I'll tell you, but you have to keep calm and not cause a scene," Saito frowned as he slowly nodded and Karin took a deep breath as she shook her head, "My youngest daughter went to the store this morning. On her way back, she was pulled into an alley," Saito's eyes widened as Karin continued, "She was assaulted…she put up a fight, but-"

"Wait…what?" Saito narrowed his eyes as he tightened his fists, "Who the hell would do that to Louise! Louise wouldn't harm a-"

"Calm down," Karin narrowed her eyes and Saito took a deep breath, "Whoever it was tried to…well…whoever it was tried to sexually assault her," Saito's eyes widened, "This is why my husband and I didn't want to tell you in the car. We were worried you'll lash out and start shouting, but seeing as we're in a hospital, I'd figure I tell you now," Saito's eyes narrowed eyes as he began to shake with anger, "If you act up in here, they will throw you out and you won't be able to see Louise,"

Saito growled as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Who…who the hell did it?"

"We're unsure, but there is an investigation underway," Karin frowned and shook her head, "Some passerby's saw Louise lying motionless in the alley and they called for help. They said that they saw someone running to the back of the alley too, but they were more concerned about my youngest daughter that they allowed the person to get away,"

"Did they see the bastard's face?" Karin shook her head again as Saito growled under his breath, "Damn,"

"You and Louise have been close, ever since Henrietta and her family moved out of the city last year, and while yes, you two have had your fair share of disagreements, you two have always been there for one another," Saito growled as his body began shaking with anger, "Control yourself, boy, don't forget that we're in a hospital," Saito took a deep breath and shook his head, "Louise is in surgery right now. She's been badly injured while she tried to fight off her attacker. From what we've learned, she has a broken wrist and she's in need of several stitches,"

Saito stared at her with a blank expression as Karin turned her back towards him and began walking away, "And just so you know boy, my husband and I don't despise you in the slightest, you only assumed that," she stopped and looked over her shoulder and saw Saito staring at her, "You have done nothing wrong for us to despise you. Now why don't we return to the waiting room with everyone else?" Saito frowned and slowly nodded before following Karin back into the waiting room.

Saito sat in the waiting room, his shoulders slumped over and his head down with his eyes narrowed, "Sexually assaulted? Louise? Who in the hell would do something so heinous? And why Louise?" he looked up and saw Louise's family talking to one another, "I swear Louise, I'm going to find the bastard who did this to you and I'm going to make them pay. They're going to be asking for death by the time I'm through with them," hearing someone clear their throat, the five looked up and saw a doctor entering the room and stared at them before they stood up and followed the doctor out of the room.

Louise sat on the bed, her head down and her pink hair blocking her face as her family surrounded the bed, talking to her as Saito stood a few feet away, staring at the broken pinkette in disbelief. Staring down at Louise's wrists, he saw both of them wrapped up, stitches running up and down her arms. Narrowing his eyes, his body shook with anger, "Louise, why don't you and your friend talk for a moment," he heard Karin speak and he looked up as Louise flinched, "We'll be right back," Karin led her husband and their two oldest daughters out of the room.

Seeing the four walk out of the room and turn the corner, Saito took a deep breath and shook his head before stepping towards the bed, "Louise?" Louise flinched and Saito frowned as he stood beside the bed, "Louise…can you look up please?"

"What are you doing here?" Louise's voice cracked and Saito shook his head, "I thought you'd be watching those stupid anime shows you love so much and-"

"Your parents walked up to me and told me to come with them…on the way your they said that you were in the hospital." Saito sighed, "I started demanding answers, but your father said that they weren't talking about it…but earlier…your mother pulled me aside and she told me what happened you," Louise flinched as Saito reached down and patted the top of her head before carefully hugging her, "I'm sorry I wasn't there…I should've been there to-"

"You wanted to see me almost get-"

"Of course not!" Saito snapped and Louise looked up and Saito's eyes widened at the sight of Louise left eye blackened. Taking a deep breath, Saito shook his head and frowned, "Of course I wouldn't want to witness my best friend nearly being raped, I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, but if I find this son of a bitch who did this to you before the police do, I'm going to make his life a living hell,"

Louise studied Saito's face before she hung her head again and her body shook, "Don't bother, Saito…they didn't do anything an-"

"Are you insane?" Louise flinched as she felt tears building up behind her eyes, "They assaulted you, they tried to rape you and I'm going to-"

"I said don't bother!" Louise looked back up and stared at Saito, tears sliding down her cheeks and Saito frowned as Louise frowned and shook her head, "Just…just go home, you stupid dog. I don't want to be bothered by anyone right now,"

"I'm not leaving you like this a-"

"I'll call the nurses and have them kick you out if you don't leave now, Saito," Louise warned, "And you know they won't let you back in if that happens…just please…leave me alone right now,"

Saito inhaled slowly as he shook his head, "Yeah…okay," he patted the top of her head before he turned and began walking away, "I'll be back later…we won't have to talk about what happened, but I'd like to spend some time with my best friend today," Louise hung her head as Saito walked out of the room.

Saito walked down the street, his hands in his pockets and his head down, "What was I supposed to do? Louise is good on keeping her threats and if I had stayed, she would've had me kicked out of the hospital and I wouldn't be able to see her until she was released…damn it," he sighed as he continued to walk down the street, alone with his thoughts.

Louise's family surrounded the bed and Cattleya frowned at her younger sister, "Why did you send Saito home, Louise? He's just as worried about you as the rest of us,"

"I don't want him to see me like this," Louise shook her head and took a deep breath, "He's angry with me…he hates me an-"

"You know that that's not true!" Éléonore snapped and her sisters and parents looked at her, "He was pacing the room like a caged tiger and when mom told him what happened, he looked like he was ready to murder the first person who looked at him wrongly. Has he ever given you a reason to think like that?"

"Éléonore," Centurion spoke to his oldest daughter, "You shouldn't yell at your sister like this. We are in a hospital an-"

"Y-you're right…but Saito…the look in his eyes…he was-"

"He wasn't mad, dear," her mother assured, patting the top of her head, "He was concerned about you," Louise frowned as she freely cried in front of her family.

Well…I can sense that there will be mixed feelings about this story and all I can say at the moment is enjoy the first chapter.
