Kita awoke in the middle of the night, a nightmare having scared her awake. She let out a heavy sigh, the nightmares have been keeping her from having a good nights rest in months. She looked at her phone which had a long list of missed calls, all of which were from Kei. She clicked the option on her phone to listen to her voice mail.

"Kita, it's me please come home so we can talk about all of this, just give me a chance to explain what happened. I'll be at the apartment when you decide to come back..." That was the only message Kei left her.

I have to go back...He didn't mean to hurt me, he never does...I overreacted and didn't give him a chance to apologize or explain... Kita looked out the window and saw that it was still dark out. She rummaged through her backpack and pulled out her notebook and carefully wrote a note to leave for Hachi. She did not want to just leave without saying thank you to Hachi who was kind enough welcome her into her home without a second thought. Kita had never met someone so kind before...

Dear Hachi, thank you so much for your hospitality, and I am sorry

for leaving with such short notice, but I have to go back. Kei did not

mean to hurt me, I'll be just fine, I am sure I will see you all again someday

soon! Thank you again.

~Kita

Kita stepped out of the dark bedroom and through the silent apartment. She placed the note on the kitchen table as a flash of last night flew through her mind. She had a lot of fun with the group last night, they all truly cared about her, even though she had just met them. Nobu had even put everyone's numbers into her phone so that they could all talk to each other. She carefully slipped out of the apartment and closed the door as quietly as she could so that she would not wake Satsuki or Hachi. She really did not want to wake them and have to explain why she was going back to Kei, they would not understand. She knew she had to go back to Kei, only he understood her.

She walked down the silent apartment halls until she reached the outside. The air was cool and felt good against Kita's skin. The sky was pitch black except for the stars that shined bright above her head. She walked through the city streets which were barren, everyone still sleeping in their warm beds. She loved walking around at night, she remembered how she and Kei used to all of the time, just the two of them.

They would walk around at sunset for hours, back before the paparazzi began to follow Kei around everywhere he went to get a photo of him. Kei always hid Kita from the cameras so that they would not know that they were together. Kei said that for marketing, they could not be seen together in public, that he had to look like he was single so more girls would buy the album and go to the tour to see him preform. Kita knew that she was not too far from her apartment that she shared with Kei.

He sounded so sad on the phone, he must be sorry... Kita thought to herself as the reached the apartment building she called home. She walked inside and up to the front door of her apartment before carefully opening the door. She saw Kei slowly waking up on the couch.

"Kita?" Kei yawned as he got to his feet. "You came home."

Kita nodded as she slowly walked over to him and into his now open arms, dropping her bag on the floor. She felt his arms gently wrap around her, one around her waist and his other hand resting on the back of her hair. She then suddenly felt his hand quickly clench and grasp her hair tightly.

"Ouch Kei that hurts" Kita began only to be thrown onto the floor, landing roughly.

"You bitch, who were you with you slut!" Kei shouted, looking angrily at her.

"N-Nobody, I just hung out with a couple of nice people who wanted to watch the fireworks." Kita explained as she slowly attempted to get up off the floor.

"Bullshit" Kei then kicked her hard in the side.

Kita cried out in pain as she attempted to crawl away from him.

"You ran away to go sleep with another guy you slut!" Kei grabbed Kita's right arm and forced her to her unsteady feet. Kita could smell alcohol on his breath as she looked into his bloodshot eyes. She had seen these eyes before and they were not the eyes she remembered. These were filled with anger and pure hatred. He then punched her hard in the face and let her fall to the floor. He knelt down beside her and pulled her hair so she was looking at him. "Try that again and I will kill you." Kei then let her go and walked into the bedroom, leaving Kita crying in the living room.

Kita forced herself up onto the couch, feeling pain throughout her body as the area around her left eye began to swell. I should have stayed at Hachi's...

Kita slowly closed her eyes and lost consciousness...

Meanwhile the sun was beginning to rise as Hachi awoke from her bed. Satsuki was standing in the doorway holding the note Kita had left.

"Mommy look what I found what does it say?" Satsuki jumped up onto Hachi's bed and handed her the note. Satsuki was still unable to read and always asked Hachi to read things for her.

Hachi yawned as she began to read the note, expecting it to just be a message from the landlord. She gasped as she read that Kita went back to her boyfriend.

"Satsuki, go to the living room and play with your dolls." Hachi smiled as Satsuki skipped into the living room to play with her toys. Satsuki was still curious about the note but figured it must just be boring.

Hachi quickly reached over to the nightstand and quickly dialed Yasu's phone, knowing that if anyone could help it would be him.

"Hello?" Yasu yawned as he answered the phone, the call clearly having woken him up.

"Yasu sorry to be calling so early, but it's Kita, she left last night. She left a note saying she had to go back to her boyfriend and I'm worried." Hachi explained.

Their was a silence over the phone before Yasu finally sighed and spoke. "We will just have to keep an eye out for her...She didn't really tell us anything about where she came from and there is no way we would be able to find which apartment Kei lives in, I'll do my best to find out where they live but I can't guarantee anything..."

"Thank you Yasu, I'll call Shiki, can you tell Nobu?" Hachi asked, not sure how she could tell Nobu about Kita's leaving. She could tell that Nobu cared for Kita by the way he looked at Kita.

"I will." Yasu spoke.

"Thank you." Hachi said before hanging up the phone. Please be safe Kita...
