He stared at the girl in front of him, She was sitting on the hood of his car her long tan legs stretched out infront of her. A short black mini skirt skimming the middle of her thighs.

She had long thick blonde hair and her low cut pink top revealed most of her chest and her face was perfectly made up not a scar anywhere on her perfect tan skin and she was his for the taking.

So why didn't he care? He watched her watching him and worried about the scrawney, Short , Pale girl that was hiding back at his apartment.

She smiled and slid seductively off his hood and started slowly walking towards the hotel she stopped looking over her shoulder.

"You coming?" He took a deep breath before slowly shaking his head.

"No, I need to get home"

"Is someone waiting for you?" She asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, there is"

Casey was standing by the stove stirring a pot of chicken noodle soup her mind was lost however and not even slightly on the task at hand.

The soup was well past the boiling point when there was a knock on the door.

She rushed to the door hoping it was Han who had forgotten his keys, She threw open the door and there stood Raizo.

"Hello, Beautiful"

She froze and tried to speak nothing came out.

"I know Han isn't home so I thought I'd come keep you company" He started for the door and she found her voice.

"No, I'm fine I'm not supposed to let people in when he's not home"

"No, you shouldn't but we are old friends I'm sure its ok" He started for the door and she swung it shut.

His arm came out preventing the door from shutting and she used all of her weight to press against it holding it the best she could but his relentless banging was slowly moving her and the door.

Han reached his apartment building and started slowly up the steps working in his mind a good reason for his immediate return.

He reached the floor below his and heard a loud crash he froze on the steps for a second listening and when he heard a louder crash and a scream he took off at a run moving as fast as he could up the steps.

He reached his floor and saw his door was standing open and he ran into the apartment he cut through the kitchen and slid in what looked like chicken noodle soup that was thrown all over the kitchen.

He heard another crash and ran to the hallway Caseys room looked untouched and he headed for the bathroom.

The door was smashed considerably bad and when he went into the bathroom further he found Casey she had sqeezed her way between the bathtub and the wall and had her knees pulled up to her chest.

"Casey"He knelt down to her level and she pushed herself further away.

It was then he heard the smash behind him and turned to see Raizo standing at the bathroom sink.

"Raizo...what are you doing here?" Raizo turned and Han saw the severe burns covering his face and arms.

"I stopped to see you and your little whore threw soup at me I'm burned so bad I'll need to go to the hospital" Han walked towards him.

"Get out of my house and get out of my life don't you ever come here again and don't come near Casey ever"

"Han, Listen to yourself...look at what she did to me"Raizo pointed at his face.

Han grabbed his shirt collar and drug him into the living room before shoving him away.

"I mean it get out" Raizo shook his head then turned and stormed out of the apartment Han shut the door behind his ex friend then headed back to the bathroom.

He found her right where he left her.

"Casey...Are you alright?" He knelt down in front of her and she slowly looked up at him through teary eyes.

He reached back into the tiny space she had squeezed herself and carefully pulled her out.

"Are you alright? What happened?" He pulled her to her feet.

"He said he came to see you I wouldn't let him in and then he forced his way into the house" She started to cry again and he felt guilt wash over him that he had left her alone.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" He looked at her arms and saw the burns covering her forearms and hands.

"I ran into the kitchen and he caught up to me...I...I was making dinner so I grabbed the pan I threw my boiling soup at him...I ran in here to hide but...he busted his way in"

"Hey, It's ok now...as long as your ok that's all that matters" He told her rubbing her back.

"I...I...hurt my hands" She held her arms out infront of her betweeen them and cried harder and he could see they were burt considerably bad.

"Ok, Come on" He leaned over and swept his arm under he knees effectively sweeping her up into his arms he carried her out of the bathroom.

He carried her down the hall and passed her room but she had now laid her head against his chest and wasn't paying attention to where they were going.

He took her into his room and she briefly lifted her head to look around it was twice the size of her room and the colors consisted of blood red walls and silver carpet he had a huge bed the was black with a red, white and black bed set and a black dresser to the right of the door.

She put her head back on his chest exausted and relievd at the safet his arms provided.

He took her over and very carefully placed her on his bed brushing her hair from her face.

"I'll be right back don't move"

He left the room and when he came back she was nearly asleep but still crying softly.

He moved to sit on the bed beside her he took her hands and looked carefully at the burns they were bad but he didn't think a hospital was needed.

He got cream and gently rubbed it on the wounds and then carefulyl wrapped them in gauze covering her palms and her wrists then satisfied they would be ok he lifted her legs and pulled the blankets out from under her before tucking them in around her.

"There it should be ok just relax...I'm going to get you something for the pain...okay?" She nodded but didn't move except to snuggle deeper into the blankets.

The sheets smelled like him so did the blankets and it comforted her.

When he came back he was carrying a small tray with a bowl of soup on it a drink and two tiny pink pills.

"Here...you need to eat something" He set the tray beside her on the bed then helped her sit up.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"I think so just a little shook up" She took a small bite of soup but her hands were shaking.

She slowly ate her soup and then took the pills he gave her.

When he lifted the tray to leave she spoke.

"Thank you. For everything"

"It's not problem...really...now try and sleep ok?"

She looked around and then back at him.

"I can go to my own room...I mean...my own bed...I don't..."He interrupted her.

"No, Just lay down and get some rest this is the safest room in the apartment and you're exausted just go to sleep"

He set the tray down then moved back over to push her back down and pull the blankets up her body and gently tuck her in.

"If you need me all you gotta do is hollar...I'll be here I promise"

She nodded and yawned and was asleep before he could even close the door.
