Nobody knows what happens to me but some people get curious but in the end don't care at all. I have nobody to tell, even if I did want to tell someone. School is my only sanctuary. Here I can forget and be in my own "perfect" world. Everybody here is oblivious to the outside world. Nobody knows what happens beyond these brick walls.

The bruises have now dulled to an ache. I am nowhere close to a fast healer but I can deal with pain to an extent. The bell rings as the hallway clears out. I'm focused on the ground as I continue my walk down the hallway to my next class. I stop in the middle of the hallway because a pair of thick black boots that must be steal toed, enter my line of vision. I shove my hands into my pockets but don't look up.

"Move," I say to the person in front of me

"What if I don't, what are you going to do about it?" he sneers as he takes a step towards me

I hear 2 more people walk up beside the man in front of me. Both of them are wearing the same type of shoes as the man that stopped me in the first place.

"Why are you doing this?"

All 3 of them shift their weight to the other foot and back again.

Apparently they never had somebody ask this.

They completely ignore my question as they step towards me. The person that first stopped me is now only centimeters away. The other two are now to my left and right side. My eyes are still completely focused on the ground. The man in front of me takes a step back and he shifts his weight to his back foot. I take a deep breath. I bend my knees and my back. I feel an arm go through my hair. I don't make a sound as I stand up fully again.

They just stand there. As if shocked that I moved out of the way of the punch.

"Now will you move; I'm trying to get to class." I say to them

Once they get past their shock, the two guys at my sides grab my arms. They force my back into the lockers. I feel one of my broken ribs slip out of place making me catch my breath. Finally, I look up at my pursuer. I wasn't surprised at what I saw in the least. He had brown hair and two red triangles on his cheeks.

He slowly walks towards me, "You disgust me."

The words don't bother me because I've heard the same thing all my life.

"The feelings mutual," I mutter out giving him a lazy look.

He turns to look at one of his friends that are holding me down. He chuckles once, then he punches me across my face and I swear I hear my jaw crack. I don't cry out when he does it, I just look at him again giving him my lazy glare again.

"You're going to have to try harder than that," I say to him

He grabs my head and shoves it in to lockers I'm pinned against. Then he grabs my neck and shoves me down making me go onto my hand and knees.

-15 minute time skip- (sorry feeling lazy -_-)

They land one final kick to my ribs and then everything goes black.

-Iruka-

That feeling in the pit of your stomach is always the worst, especially when you don't know why you have it. Here I am sitting in the middle of class with this sinking feeling.

I need to get out of here.

I raise my hand in the middle of the teacher's lecture which earns me a glare.

"Yes Iruka?" the teacher asks in a voice that is too sweet.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" I ask trying not to sound too anxious.

He waves me off basically saying yes.

I practically run out of the door. I hear my heart beat in my ears. I stand there on a verge of a panic attack.

What am I doing?

As I stand there, I realize that I have no idea why I'm out here. My heart beat slows to its normal rate but I still have this feeling in my stomach. I walk down the hallway towards the bathroom. The feeling in my stomach gets worse as I continue to walk down.

I finally get to the end. I feel like my heart is about to pop; it's pounding so hard in my chest. In the corner I see him. He's covered in blood and I have a feeling that it's all his. His eyes are closed and he is still. My heart jumps to my throat. I stand there for what seems like hours but it could have only been a couple of second.

He can't be dead.

I kneel down beside him and put 2 fingers on his throat. I feel his pulse but just barely.

I need to get him to the nurse's office.

I jump up knowing I can't carry him myself. I run down the hallway going to the person who I know who will help me. I swing open the door and the whole class stares at me.

"Iruka, what's wrong?" the blonde teacher looks at me with wide eyes

"Come quick, I need your help," I say to him almost in a panic.

I turn around and run down the hallway hoping he is behind me.

I finally get to the corner to where Kakashi is.

"Shit," I hear the sub curse under his breath

The blonde get on his knees and puts his arms around the unconscious man's back and under his legs. Minato lifts him as gently as he can.

"Come on Iruka; come with me to the nurse's office." Mr. Namikaze looks at me.

I nod as I follow him down to the first floor.

TBC. . . . .
