Chapter 10. Fights in an Alley:

For the rest of the days until winter break the group had been hanging out, and doing piles of homework. Everyone was quite happy that the perverted student finally transferred which was a relief for mostly all of the girls at the school.

A few days ago the sailor scouts called saying that they were going to stay a bit longer, which was going to be a while, oh until the end of the school year. For some apparent reason, nothing bad has been happening but little did they know that they were going to have one heck of a winter break.

It was a Monday afternoon, but soon turned nighttime. It was warm, but with a chance of a rainstorm or at least a shower. The house just ate a late lunch and was in need of groceries.

"I'll do it!" Tera volunteered. She then went inside of her room and changed. She wore a black tank top with a white blouse. She wore cargo pants and just in case brought an umbrella. She ran out, grabbed the shopping list and the money and then ran out the door but yelling a good-bye.

Most of them said, "Good-bye!" Kachiro and Inuyasha just waved and resumed to their game. Soon Serena came out of nowhere holding all of the boy's jackets in their hands.

"What are you doing with all of our jackets?" Darian asked. Kachiro and Inuyasha looked up in wonder.

"We're going to the mall! Most of us need new clothes and items, so you guys are coming along!" she announced throwing a jacket to everyone. The boys groaned in frustration and was soon pushed out the door by Serena.

Quickly Serena asked, "You coming Kagome?"

"Naw, I'll wait here for Tera. Don't want her to come back with an empty apartment," Kagome replied.

"Alright, see you in a jiff!" Serena yelled and she closed the door behind her. Kagome sighed as she started to wash the dishes. She didn't want to wash the dishes, but she was kind of the only adult there, except for Tera who would be happy to do it, but sadly she was gone. Kagome started to hum as she washed the dishes.

Tera was finally done shopping and holding around four bags of groceries. Two in each hand. She aslo felt lucky that the cash register man could speak a little english. If he didn't then she would be in big trouble. Luckily she had enough money to buy it all.

She also wanted to earn a bit of money of her own, so she helped out with the cash register and got a lot of money since he was so generous. Happy with her accomplishments she gazed at the beautiful lights surrounding her.

"I wonder, when I can go back home," she said feeling a little bit homesick. Trying to ignore the feeling, she began to sing to herself. Feeling a bit lazy for some reason she set the grocery bags in front of her and stretched.

Then a sudden white blast came out of nowhere. Tera turned around to see it come towards her. She stared at it with wide eyes, then light enveloped her and she was sent back, far back. Her body was slammed into the brick wall of a dead end alley. She opened her eyes in pain to see her right arm with burnt marks.

She grabbed her arm with her left hand and slowly stood up. She stood there with her shoulders hunched, feet apart, also known as a fighting position. A evil cackle was heard throughout the alley. She looked ahead to see a figure with piercing red eyes and long black hair that was pulled up in a high ponytail. He was wearing a black and red robe with a black sash.

"So you are the galaxy princess I presume?" he asked sneering. She clenched her fists and said, "What's it to you?"

"My, my what rude manners," he said simply. Then black figures came out from the shadows standing in front of him. "We'll just have to teach you a lesson then."

He snapped his fingers and the figures ran toward her with swords in their hands. Ignoring the pain she got in to a fighting position and ran toward them.

She side kicked, punched, jumped, did cartwheels, but the more she destroyed the more they appeared. She then grabbed her umbrella and started stabbing them. Until one of the figures came up behind her and stabbed her in the back of her right arm. She clenched her teeth in pain and kicked it in the head. Soon the figures surrounded her.

'There's too many!' she screamed in her head. 'Now's a time where I wish I had my compact thingy.' Then she was stabbed twice in the front of her left and another one in the front of her right. Some then kicked her in the stomach pushing her toward the brick wall once more. They soon stopped when another snap was heard.

Most of the figures cleared the way to show the young man walking towards her. Once he got to her he grabbed her hair and took a good look at the damage. Her white blouse now had splotches of blood. Gashes were shone around most of her body and her whole body was dirty. Her right arm now lay limp showing that it was broken and her face was contorted in pain.

He smirked satisfied. But wanting a little fun of his own. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up. Her left arm grabbed his arm and tried to pry it off, but he only squeezed tighter making her gasp and wince in pain.

"My name is Vemnan, and I will be the one to kill you. I am the darkness in the shadows, I am the nightmare that runs through your mind. I am fear itself," he whispered. She shuddered.

Smirking he threw her to the ground and said, "Let us go. Our mission was to make her receive pain but just enough to have her alive."

In a blink of an eye they all disappeared leaving Tera on the cold floor. A pool of blood was beginning to surround her, if she lost too much she would be at a great risk of dying.

Remembering the promise she made to herself about doing her best she slowly stood up. She winced in pain as the gashes in her legs started to open up even more. Just her luck, rain started to fall, drenching her hair and making it cling to her skin. Although it was raining, hard, blood still showed and didn't falter her determination.

Seeing the groceries still lying there she quietly grabbed them and walked home. With every step pain was sent throughout her body, for most of the time she clenched her teeth and held onto the bags tighter. Soon she met up with the building and slowly walked up the stairs, water from her hair dripping onto the tiled floor. After what seemed to be a million of years she reached for the doorknob and turned it. She whispered, "I'm back."

Kagome apparently heard and said, "Hey! It sure took you a long time. Thought you got lost or something." Tera slowly pulled her feet out of her shoes and wavered. She dropped the groceries onto the floor and walked a bit more. Then she stopped not able to move anymore.

"I'm such a nuisance. I'm sorry.. Kagome..." she said and said Kagome's name barely in a whisper. Darkness clouded her vision, where her eyes fell to the back of her head and she fell to the floor where it was smeared with her blood and water.

"Sorry about what?" Kagome asked looking out of the kitchen. She dropped the plate she was drying shattering it into a million pieces. Her eyes open wide and her voice was lost. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The sweet, clean girl she once knew was now bloody and battered up.

"Tera! TERA?" she yelled running to her side. She started to shake Tera's body wishing that she would wake up so badly.

"WHO DID THIS TO YOU GOD DARN IT?" she demanded, tears started to spill. Without thinking she ran to the phone and dialed 9-1-1. A voice answered and she said, "Friend! Bleeding! May die! Hurry!"

As if knowing what she was saying it said, "An ambulance is coming your way, so please calm down!"

Kagome hung up and ran to the bathroom, got some towels and started wiping up blood, but more appearing. Then two men burst through the doors and already knew what to do. They took Tera's limp body carefully onto a stretcher and rushed out the door. Kagome grabbed her keys and ran out the door.

She boarded into her car and arrived at the hospital a few minutes later. Then the ambulance came right after the people driving complaining about dumb people not moving out of the way. Tera had a mask on that was giving her oxygen and Kagome ran beside her until doors appeared and was stopped by a nurse.

"I'm sorry miss, but you no one is allowed to go in there," she simply said in a comforting tone.

"But! My friend! She's -" Kagome whimpered.

"Please, she'll be fine, just sit down," the nurse said.

Kagome obediently sat down. She was drenched in rain, but she didn't care, all she wanted to do is see her friend. Thinking that the others should know she spotted a payphone not far outside. She ran to it, and after putting in a couple of quarters it started to ring.

Serena was all done shopping, but thinking that the three boys needed some more clothes she made shoved them into three different dressing rooms and waited for them. Groaning she complained, "Are you guys finished yet? I swear you take longer then I do!"

"HOLD UP!" Inuyasha yelled. "I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Serena just sighed until a ring was heard. Knowing that it was hers she answered it saying, "Moshi, moshi!"

"Serena?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome?"

"Come to the hospital now!"

"Kagome? Why? What's wrong?"

"It's Tera! She came back all bloody and battered!" Kagome yelled erupting into sobs. Serena's eyes widened in worry.

"Kagome! Calm down! We'll come as soon as we can! Which hospital are you in?" Serena demanded.

"T-the h-hospital two b-blocks a-away from our a-apartment!" Kagome answered. Serena then hung up and kicked all of the doors opened.

"HEY!" the boys yelled their chests still bare and about to put on their shirts.

"Quit your whining! We have to go the hospital!" Serena screamed running out of the store.

"What? Hospital? Wait! Serena!" Darian yelled. All three boys put on their shirts at incredible speed. Then as fast as they could they burst through the doors to see Serena running in the rain to their car pigtails flying behind her.

The boys quickly caught up with her. Darian pulled her to an immediate stop and held her in his arms. Serena's body started to shake violently. Inuyasha and Kachiro watched with soft, but hard eyes.

"Serena, what's wrong?" Darian asked calmly.

"We have to go the hospital," she said.

"Why? Did something happen?" He said a little bit more harshly.

"It's Tera! We have to go to her quick!" she screamed into his shirt. All of the boy's eyes widened with surprise. Kachiro as quick as lightning jumped into the car.

"Get in!" he commanded. Everyone followed, which was unusual for Inuyasha, but he knew it was an emergency. Before anyone had time to buckle in Kachiro hit on the gas pedal zooming through the rain to the hospital.

The group burst through the doors all drenched from running and the rain after running about 2 stoplights, 3 stop signs, crashing into 10 people and cussing about 100 times to idiots. They looked around and saw Kagome hunched up in a chair her face in her hands.

"Kagome!" they all yelled as they ran up to her. Kagome's head shot up and turned to them. Her face was pale white with her eyes red and puffy from crying.

"You guys!" she yelled. Inuyasha burst from the group and held her into a tight hug. She started to cry into his shirt drenching it. He rubbed her back soothing her. He kept on shooing her. When her crying started to cease he grabbed her shoulders.

"Kagome? What happened?" he asked softly but firmly. She looked up to him and said, "It's Tera, she came back with the groceries. For some reason she was really, really hurt."

Then she erupted into another amount of sobs, when it once again she was soothed by Inuyasha. Kachiro has his head down, his hand clenched into fists.

'God! What's wrong with me? Whenever she's in trouble, I'm never there for her! I'm supposed to be protecting her, but what am I doing? I'm always somewhere else when she needs help the most.' he thought in his mind. Serena was being held in Darian's arms also being soothed by Darian's small gestures or words.

The sound of a closing door was heard and they all looked up. There was a middle-aged doctor with his mask still on. He spotted them and walked over.

"Are you the relatives of Tera?" he asked pulling the mask down.

"Yes," Kachiro, Serena, and Kagome answered promptly not knowing that they were lying. "How is she?"

"Well, if you wasted another minute, she may not have survived, but luckily she is alive and well. She had severe gashes and a broken arm. She's in a coma at the moment, but would you like to see her?" he said. They all nodded their heads in unison.

"Very well," he said and he walked into another hallway.

After a few more turns they met up at a door. He opened it up to reveal white room, with white blinds, and in the middle a white bed. Which had Tera lying in it her chest rising and falling with every passing second. Serena and Kagome burst into tears happy that Tera had survived.

"You may stay with her, but please don't make her do too many things. If you do her wounds may open up again," the doctor said closing the door behind him.

"Arigatou," Kagome whispered. They all surrounded Tera staring at her. She was in a pair of blue striped pajamas, but the bandages were still seen surrounding her skin. An AV machine was plugged having her heart rate which was going steadily.

Everyone got spare chairs and surrounded her once more happy to see her alive and well. Inuyasha was smiling one of his oh-so-rare smiles. Kagome and Serena were smiling wet smiles, Darian was just smiling, and Kachiro was having a very small smile.

Her skin color was pale white, but seemed to be getting back into their regular color. Her long eyelashes stayed still. The ran pittered and pattered against the window making a small melody.

It wasn't long before everyone nodded off falling into a deep sleep. Inuyasha was the first to wake where Kagome was leaning against his shoulder. Serena was lying on Darian's lap where he had his hand on her waist. Kachiro had his head on Tera's bed drooling. Slowly he started to shake his shoulder trying to wake Kagome up.

"Hey, Kagome! Wake up!" he whispered. Kagome's eyelids started to flutter open and she sat up once again rubbing her eyes.

"I'm awake, I'm awake," she answered. She stretched where at the same time she yawned.

"Wake up Kachiro, I'll wake up those two," Inuyasha instructed. Kagome just nodded and walked over to Kachiro. She started to shake his shoulders, and slowly he gave out a moan and looked up. His hair was untidy and ruly.

"What?" he asked one eye bigger than the other.

"Let's go, we'll come and check up on Tera later," Kagome answered.

"No way...too sleepy..and whose going to watch Tera then," he said murmuring the last sentence. Then he held Tera's hands into his and looked at her with softness in his eye. Kagome have a kind smile and said, "Alright."

Inuyasha was shaking Darian trying to get him awake yelling, "GET UP ALREADY!" But to no avail.

Sighing, he got his fist ready and hit Darian on the head. Darian's head fell forward a bit before he looked up holding the bump that was now forming.

"What the heck was that for?" Darian demanded rubbing his head.

"Pfft, wake up next time why don't ya?" Inuyasha asked staring at him. Serena sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"What's up?" she asked yawning. Darian just mumbled while he rubbed his head.

"We have to go back to the apartment," Inuyasha answered. Serena just nodded and got up stretching. Kagome had already joined them standing next to Inuyasha.

"Kachiro ain't coming?" Serena asked seeing Kachiro still sitting. Kagome just shook his head.

"He said that he wanted to stay," Kagome said happy that Tera and Kachiro liked each other, but thinking that they were too dumb to notice.

Everyone either gave a nod or said, "Alright." Then they all turned toward the door and was about to leave right when Inuyasha said, "Make sure to watch over her, we'll be back soon, with your sword."

Kachiro sat up hearing the last words, with eyes wide, but lowered and gave them a kind face. Then he found out that he was still tired so he held Tera's hand with his own hand and laid his head on her stomach.

When Tera felt the slight movement around her, her eyes started to open where it was halfway and big enough to see Kachiro's head on her stomach and his hand holding hers. Her eyes widened but lowered halfway smiling.

"I'm sorry," Kachiro whispered. Tera slowly turned her head to him eyes in wonder.

"I should have been there for you, you went through so much trouble all by yourself." he whispered once more chuckling to himself. "You almost never want help, your such an idiot." Tera held back a growl from this and from her fists hitting his head.

"That's why I'm going to risk my life to protect you until the day I die, that's a promise I'm going to make to both of us, you stupid girl," he said again. He then gave a squeeze to her hand. Thinking that there would be no return message another squeeze was felt. He looked up to see Tera looking at him with smiling eyes and a small smile.

"I promise that to you too," she whispered with her eyes closed but with a smile. Kachiro's eyes widened, and then a blush appeared onto on his face seeing that Tera had heard all of what he had said.

"And I am not an idiot!" she said her kind eyes starting to glare at him. He just chuckled and said, "Good morning to you too."

She then did something that they never expected would happen, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. She smiled at him while he just blushed even more.

"YOUR BLUSHING!" she squealed happily.

"NO I'M NOT!" he complained.

"YES YOU ARE!" she argued.

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YE-!" she said but was stopped when Kachiro leaned forward and gave her a peck on the cheek. She then blushed furiously.

"Now we're even," he said happily. Then he started laughing, confusing Tera, but then she started laughing as well.

The group was looking through the doorway which was ajar and saw the whole scene. Inuyasha and Darian smirked as the both thought, 'Finally! That bakayaro hooked up with her.'

The girls were squealing and jumping up and down saying, "FINALLY!"

The door was pushed open when they burst through it and ran to Tera giving her a hug. She just looked in shock, but seeing Inuyasha leaning against the doorway smirking, and Darian just standing there with one hand in his pocket and the other just lying there limp smirking as well, she knew that they saw the whole thing. She then started blushing.

"YOUR BLUSHING!" the girls squealed, then they started laughing. Tera giggled at her friends actions and returned the hug, happy that everyone was well and fine.
