*Utako's POV*

'Where am I?

It's all black.

I can hear something.

Voices?

Who's?

What are they trying to tell me?

I can't hear them.

Eyes.

I can't open them.

Why?

Come on I can do it!'

I opened my eyes slowly. The first thing I saw was pure white. Then I turned my head slowly in the direction where the voices were coming from. Then my breath was caught in my throat.

''Kise-kun?'' I managed out. My eyes widened as I realized the situation I was in. Lying. On a bed. With Kise beside it. 'What am I doing here? And why is Kise-kun with me?'

''Are you all right?'' a woman whom I don't know asked. ''I'm Ryouta's mother. Nice to meet you.'' she smiled at me. 'She said she is Kise-kun's mother. Then does that mean? Wait, wait calm down.'

''Where am I?'' I asked slowly.

''At my house. I brought you here after you fainted at the school yard.'' Kise said smiling brightly at me. ''Does it hurt anywhere?''

Now that he said it I realized a sharp pain in my wrist. I nodded and showed him my hand.

''As I said.'' Kise's mother said. ''Could you tell me your parents phone number? I'd like to inform them and tell them that we'll be taking you to the hospital. Okay?''

I looked down. ''I can't. They're dead.'' Silence followed my words. I looked up and saw two very shocked faces. ''I can tell my brother's. I'm living with him.'' I said trying to ease the tension.

''Oh okay. Then please do so.'' Kise's mother said. I could tell that she wasn't really out of her daze yet.

''Um…where is my bag?'' I asked now looking at Kise.

''Huh?'' he asked snapping out of his thoughts.

''I asked whether I could get my bag or not.'' I said. 'I don't understand why are they so shocked. You can see lot of kids nowadays without parents.'

''Oh…of course. Sorry.'' with that he stood up and went out of the room. A minute later he was back with my bag. He handed it to me. I started to rummage in it and a second later I found my notebook. I flipped a few pages and found what I was searching for. I handed the notebook to Kise's mother open on the page where my brother's number was. Actually it was the number of his workplace, but he said if anything happens I can call him on that number.

Kise's mother went out of the room stairng at my notebook.

''You don't have a phone?'' Kise asked surprised.

''No I don't. I live alone with my brother and he is the only one earning money. We are happy even if we can afford something for dinner.'' I said sarcastically. ''I'm not rich like the others.'' I muttered. He didn't say anything, but from the look on his face I could tell that he heard my words clearly. His mother came back with a strange expression.

''I can't believe what your brother said.'' she said indignantly. ''He said it's okay just send you home.''

I smiled. I didn't expect anything else. 'How could we afford the hospital fee if we can't even buy a pass for me to go to school or for my brother to go to work?'

''Thanks for everything. I'm going home now.'' I said and stood up. My wrist was aching, but I tried to ignore the pain as much as I could. I started to walk out of the room just when Kise grabbed my wrist. I winced from the pain. Tears were in my eyes already, but I quickly wiped them away and turned to look at him.

''What is it?'' I asked forcing a smile.

''Your wrist is broken. I can tell you're in pain.'' he said his voice full of worry.

''It's okay. I'll treat it at home.'' I said trying to free my wrist, but the pain was just too much.

''It's not okay. Please let us take you to the hospital.'' he begged me.

''I can't. You heard my brother right?'' I was now desperately trying to get away.

''I heard, but your wrist must be treated properly.''

''It's okay just let me go home! We don't have money for hospital!'' I was now shouting and crying at the same time. ''Please let go of my hand.''

He released my hand, but didn't give up.

''Then we can pay it for you! Right mum?'' he asked turning to his mother.

''That's right let us pay it for you.''

''I can't accept money from anyone.''

''Please it's just a small amount of money. I want to help you.'' Kise begged me.

''Yeah maybe for you it is, but for us it isn't. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!'' I screamed and ran out of the room.

I ran out the front door and took the way to the river. 'I have to cool myself down. He just wanted to help me and I screamed his head off. The girls were right. I don't deserve him...'

*Kise's POV*

''JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!'' she shouted and ran out.

''Ryouta.'' my mother called my name.

''Yeah?'' I looked at her.

''Go after her.''

''Sure thing.'' I said and ran after her.

I ran for about ten minutes when I found her at the river bank. She was sitting in the grass with her head on her knees. I approached her slowly. I sat down beside her. She raised her head and looked at me. She was crying.

''Kise-kun? What are you doing here?''

''I won't give up.'' I said. ''I'll bring you to the hospital at any costs.'' her expression darkened.

''I said leave me alone already!'' she shouted now standing. She sent a final glare in my direction and ran away. Once again. I stood up and followed her.

It was easy to catch up to her. Maybe because I'm a basketball player. I'm really fast. I grabbed her wrist, but when I saw her wince I quickly released it. At least I could stop her. When I saw she was trying to run away once again an idea popped into my head.

I hugged her before she could've run away again. She was shocked I could tell because she froze. I could feel her tears on my arm. I squeezed her lightly so I wouldn't suffocate her.

''Please release me.'' she asked, but I was intractable.

''No.'' short answer, but I think she understood because I could feel her palms on my arms. She bowed her head so it was now resting on my arms.

''Why are you doing this?'' she asked silently. 'Good question. I don't know either. Maybe I just can't leave her alone.'

''I feel like I must protect you.'' I said finally. She was silent for a moment then struggled to turn to me. I loosened my hug so she could turn. She turned and hugged me back. She put her head on my chest. I put my head on hers. We stayed like this for a moment when I asked her something:

''Can we be friends? I want to protect you as your friend.''

She looked at me with those sparkling sapphire eyes and nodded.

''Okay.''

Minna that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed it. Please review so I'll know your opinion! Goodbye! :D
