Yeah! :D Now Read on~! :D
I walked with Emiko into the classroom, all eyes were on us. I could already hear the rumors about poor Emiko, stuck with the loner chick. I sat down at my desk and Emiko sat next to me, glancing around at all the people.
"Hey, you, chick with the glasses, why are you hangin out with that loser?" a nasally voice called out. I looked up and saw Saaya standing there with her arms crossed, the Guardians standing behind her.
"She is my friend," Emiko replied curtly. The Guardians and Saaya looked slightly baffled. I had to hand it her, she is pretty brave.
"You want her as a friend and not friends that we can choose for you? I mean, we might even consider putting you with us," Saaya sneered. It was plainly obvious she was just trying to get Emiko away from me because she just wants me to suffer.
"Yeah…but, then I'd become some stupid girl who can't keep a guy because she is ugly inside and out," Emiko replied plainly. Not the best comeback, but good enough to get Saaya boiling.
"Oh yeah? Well, you are screwed! Everyone, get her!" Saaya growled and everyone stood up, circling me and Emiko. I groaned, stood up and crossed my arms.
"Leave her alone, you all are just sluts who just have to be the rulers of the school," I said, narrowing my eyes at every one of them, especially the Guardians. Nagihiko, Rima, and Yaya looked away while Tadase just stood by Saaya's side with this stupid look on his face. I knew his secret and he is so dang lucky I don't spill it out to everyone!
"Oh look, Micha is standing up for her little friend. That's it, get her!" Saaya shouted. Everyone started to close in, and I was getting prepared to take the hits and not let Emiko get hurt.
"Wait! What's goin on?" a mysteriously familiar voice called out from behind. The crowd of people slightly parted and there stood a boy that was about 15 with messy orange-brown hair and emerald green eyes. He lost some of his baby fat and he had more muscle on him than what I remember. He was the same crush I had before and I almost ran over to him and gave him a big hug. Almost.
The kids just ignored Kukai while the Guardians and Saaya fawned all over him, welcoming him back. The Guardians besides Tadase had some false welcoming and were a little more worried that I'd tell Kukai what has happened for the last year. The mob started to surround me again, blocking my view of the gorgeous brunette. They started to punch and kick me, and I stood as a shield against them from Emiko. I wanted to scream for help, but if I did that, they would get the satisfaction.
I groaned in pain as I doubled over in pain when someone kicked me in the stomach. They snickered then went to fawn over Kukai also. I glanced up and saw Emiko was okay except this very worried look on her face. She knelt and kept brushing hair out my face, panicking. I coughed up a little blood and gave her a weary, reassuring smile.
I closed my eyes a little and then another face popped into view. My eyes widened, the guy had my favorite emerald green eyes, but they were definitely off. They weren't happy.
"Kukai…don't be sad, be happy," I whispered, smiling a little and then my world turned completely black.
(Kukai's P.O.V)
I pushed my way through the crowd of cooing fans and saw the girl with straight black hair that had gotten beaten up. A girl with short silver hair and glasses kneeled over her, worried out of her mind. I rushed to her and peered at the mysterious black haired girl also. Her face was badly bruised and blood trickled down her chin. The girl's face seemed so familiar yet so different…I couldn't out my finger on it…Her eyes were slightly closed but they widened slightly when she saw me and then she gave me a small smile.
"Kukai…don't be sad, be happy," the girl whispered in a very familiar voice. And then she closed her eyes and her smile turned into a little frown. Her breathing became faster and she curled slightly up in a ball.
I felt the sudden urge to help her, and that is what I did. I scooped up the girl, and she was surprising very light, despite her look in baggy clothes. Thank goodness, because my back hurt so much already…I glared at all the stupid kids in the room and walked out, the girl with silver hair trailing behind me.
"T-thank-you, sir," she said timidly. I glanced back at her, and down at the girl in my arms.
"No problem, Name is Kukai. What's yours?" I asked politely, I wanted to know this girl's name more, but it seems they are friends so I have to be polite.
"E-Emiko. Her name is Micha-Chan," she replied, looking down. I nodded and walked to the infirmary, holding poor Micha close to me in fear of dropping her.
"Souma-Kun…thank-you for helping her. Even though you are a stranger to her, you helped her anyways…I have only caused her trouble," Emiko said, sounding like she was on the verge of tears.
"Hey, don't cry okay? I'll get her story afterward, plus, it seems like you are a great friend for her," I replied soothingly, I gave her my signature smile and I would have done thumbs up if my hands weren't full.
"Thank-you," she said surprised.
We finally reached the infirmary, and Emiko rushed to open the door for me. I walked in and set Micha on the bed, the paper crinkling underneath her.
All of a sudden, a red head nurse came bustling in. I think I recognized her because she was always treating my soccer wounds.
"Oh, Kukai! Welcome back to Seiyo Middle!" the nurse chirped with a big smile.
"Thanks, can you help my friend here? Her name is-"I started.
"Hinato Micha," Emiko finished for me. I smiled at her and then turned serious and looked at the nurse.
"Okay, I'll treat her right away…wait, what happened to her?" the nurse asked, baffled.
"She was beat up for no reason," I replied, anger starting to boil inside of me. I am all against bullying and this was just so bad. It seemed like she was picked on a lot, and I can't believe the Guardian's didn't do anything about it! What happened to being actual Guardians? The nurse started to treat her wounds, placing ice on the biggest bruise on her forehead.
"Oh dear, poor Hinato-San. I hear that she is bullied a lot but she never comes to report it…"the nurse trailed off. I clenched my fist; I would have to give those Guardians a couple of lessons later on…
"Umm…Miss Nurse? Do you know anything…else about Micha-Chan?" Emiko asked timidly, obviously wanting to know more about Micha.
"Well…you two can keep a secret, right?" the nurse said wearily. I nodded and saw Emiko nod also.
"Anything helps to understand her," Emiko said. I leaned against the teal green counters, wanting to hear this too.
"Okay…well, Kukai, remember that little Miss you were so fond of…Hinamori Amu?" the nurse said nervously.
"Yes," I replied embarrassed, a blush faintly appearing on my cheeks. I missed Hinamori, I haven't seen her in so long.
"Well…Hinato-San IS Hinamori Amu-Chan…" she whispered, trailing off again. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. The girl that I loved was the one that was beaten before my eyes…and I hadn't done anything to save her until after…
"Umm…I'm sad to know that Mi- I mean Amu-Chan lied to me…but I think she has her reasons…" Emiko said after there was a long silence.
"I…need to speak to her when she wakes up," I said, thinking while I spoke.
"Yes…it may be a while, so please go to class," the nurse replied softly.
"Okay…" I replied, kind of disappointed.
"Thank-you for taking care of her," Emiko thanked the nurse.
"No problem. I have always felt bad for poor Amu-Chan," the nurse replied, stroking Amu's cheek in a motherly way. I walked out of the room, my hands in my pockets and my head in the clouds. I was thinking about everything that had happened. Amu lost her family before I had left…and then when I did, it appears life didn't go the way it was supposed to for her.
"Souma-Kun!" the girl named Emiko called out, running to catch up to me.
"Yes?"I asked, turning to her.
"Yesterday I met her, and she didn't want me to be her friend. She said something about the popular group and how I wouldn't be able to take them…I think she was just trying to protect me and I just ended up getting her hurt…"she trailed off, tears rolling down her cheek.
"Hey, don't worry. Now that I am back, I am going to make sure that everyone goes right for Hinamori from now on…And I think I understand why everyone is bullying her…just not the Guardians…"I replied, drifting back into deep thoughts again. I walked off, going to the teacher Nikaido to report what happened. I believe Emiko stopped following me so I stopped where I was and looked out the window, thinking about important things. I had to stay back a year since last year was pretty much the worst year of my life. From not seeing Hinamori to getting beat by my stupid drunk brothers…
I just hope Hinamori gets better. I need to change her life back to what it was before. She needs to live her life to the fullest, and I want to be there for her. This school is screwed up since I left. Bullying never occurred, but jealousy did cause people to act a little out of character.
I then continued walking, out of the school and towards the park I and Amu used to hang out at. I then rested under a tree, planning on taking a nap since last night I couldn't sleep and then waking up to go check up on Amu.
I drifted off into sleep as thunder clouds began to roll in. Yawning, I thought to myself; I'll wake up before it rains and go see Hinamori. And then my mind went blank and fuzzy.
(Amu's POV)
I awoke with start, my body instantly aching. I placed a hand on my forehead, and looked around. I was in the nurses room and the ginger nurse sat at her little desk in the corner, her eyes focused on the computer screen. I swung my legs over the side, stretching a little and feeling my soreness getting the better of me.
"Oh! Hinamori-San, please lie down!"she said quickly, coming over and putting a hand lightly on my shoulder to get me to sit down.
"I have to go…I need to get moving, get myself used to the pain," I said in a chopped sentence.
"No. Stay. Plus, your friends Souma-Kun and Inta-San are coming to visit you soon so please stay," the nurse said firmly. I slumped in defeat and decided to lie down. She nodded in approval and sat back down at the computer, typing away.
"Umm…you didn't tell them who I was…did you?"I asked, fearing the answer.
"Uhh…" the nurse stalled, her eyes darting here and there. All of a sudden, the door swung open, and standing there was Emiko. Her expression instantly filled with relief as she rushed over to try and comfort me.
"Amu-Chan! You're okay! I am so sorry that I got you in trouble!" she gushed, giving me a tight hug. I'll take it they know.
But…what does Kukai have to say about it?
Annnnnd done!
