Emiko's P.O.V

I avoided Kuroda-San after that night. I also avoided Hayato as well. But I knew that I could only avoid him for so long. I sat at the front of the room with Ayumi who kept giving me looks. She really wanted to ask why I wasn't sitting with my boyfriend, but I was still upset and I wasn't going to forgive him just yet. The rest of the week had been fairly silent, and so I had kept to the shadows of the school, ignoring everyone but Take, who I could never ignore. He was like Kuma, my brother, and my favorite. He was the innocent one of the group.

"Emiko-Chan! Emiko-Chan!" a voice yelled frantically I looked up, no one in the room was yelling this, so I looked to the door, that had yet to open. It slammed open and Sakura came running in. She had tears running down her cheeks.

"Sakura? Whats wrong?" I asked as I looked her over. She didn't have any bruises, or anything major. But something was obviously making her cry.

"It's Fukui-Kun!" she yelled and I stood up. I motioned for her to lead the way. Hayato stood up too and grabbed my arm.

"Hayato, unless you want to lose that arm, I would let go. I have to help him. He was my leader in my old school. But he is so much more than that. He is my best friend, and I don't abandon my friends." I said and he let go. I followed after Sakura.

We arrived at what looked like a school war. Only everyone had stopped and Dai's class was looking at Dai in worry. He was on the ground, being hit on by the leader of the rival school. It was obvious that Dai was losing. I walked up to the pair, and kicked the leader on the side. He was falling off and crashed to the ground.

"Oh look is that our little weak slut?" I heard from behind me and I turned to see the two bullies that I had had in middle school. I felt all the air rush out of me as something hit my side, and I nearly went down on my knees at the crack and sudden pain. The leader of the rival school had hit me with a pipe, and broke 3 ribs. I turned and kicked him in the face. When he was out cold, I turned.

"Well? Get lost." I yelled and I watched as they all ran. The whole class came over,

"He got hit with a pipe, that's the only reason he was losing." said his second in command.

Hayato's P.O.V

She came back. But Dai was with her. He was out cold, he looked beaten to hell. Emiko looked in pain too, but she still looked somewhat healthy. Ayumi came forward to help and Emiko jumped forward, but it was too late. When Ayumi had touched his arm, he had suddenly jerked awake and swung at her. Emiko jumped in front of him and grabbed his arm.

"Hey! Dai, Calm down. What happened? You don't do school wars." she said and he sighed, he held his head,

"Fuckers ambushed me." he said and Emiko smiled,

"The same guy I beat up?" she asked and Dai shook his head,

"No. Some guy who said he knew you and Ayumi." he said and Emiko's smile fell, She looked over at Ayumi,

"That doesn't make sense." Emiko said and then turned to Sakura.

"How did you know about the fight?" she asked her, Sakura looked down and held out her phone to Ayumi. Ayumi looked at it and threw it to Emiko.

"That bastard! Ayumi if you don't end this, I will." she spat and Ayumi sighed,

"Emiko. Think with all your brains. Its obvious isn't it? He has help from other sources. Don't you think we should find out the sources first?" Ayumi said and Emiko glared at her before nodding. She turned to look at Dai,

"Are you OK enough to go back to your class?" she asked and Dai scoffed,

"I am. I've had worse." he said and she rolled her eyes. She looked over at Sakura.

"Don't answer him back if he texts again. Just let it go. Instead message me, and ill take care of it." she said and Sakura nodded, she looked at Dai, who smiled at her. He held out his hand and she led him out of the room.

"I can't believe the nerve of that bastard. He told her that he was a friend of ours. Even put his name as a signature." Ayumi said and then sat down on one of the desks and ignored the class as she thought.

"This is getting out of hand. Even if we take him out now, he may have others to help finish me off for him. " Ayumi said and looked up at Emiko. Emiko looked her over.

"Its time to involve the family Ayumi. This is bigger than what me, you and Rei can handle. Its time to involve the Yakuza. There is no other option." Emiko said and sat down at her desk next to mine.

"Your right. I need someone to inform Kuroda-San as well." she said and then got up and walked out. Emiko turned to me,

"I'm sorry. I should have forgave you a while ago." she said and I grabbed her hand,

"I get why you didn't. Nothing to be sorry about." I said and she smiled as she leaned against me.

"Things are going to change Hayato. I'm not sure I want them to change, or that I can handle it." she said as she looked down at our hands.

"You have me, you won't be alone." I said and she chuckled,

"No. I won't be alone, just you won't be alone either." she said and then laid her head on the desk.

I stood at the back of the room. I was invited to sit in on one of their meetings. And Ayumi was being yelled at by her parents.

"You should have come to us!" her father yelled and Shin sat beside her, not saying a word but holding her hand instead. Her grandpa stepped forward.

"Kenji, she thought that she could handle it. It hadn't gotten out of control until now, am I right in thinking that Ayumi?" he asked and she nodded, not daring to say a word.

"I get that Father, but she should trust us, we are her parents! We love her, and want to help her. Keep her safe. " her mother stated, but she was calmer than her husband who was glaring at his daughter, who was keeping her head down.

"Yuri. You have all been taught that you must take responsibility for your mistakes and yourselves. To ask for help when you need it. Is it so wrong that she was doing just that before things went out of hand?" her grandpa asked and her father seemed to soften his gaze. Then I saw the old man transform into a Yakuza leader.

"No one is to go near this man. I will have our people take care of him. But no one is to go near him." he commanded and everyone nodded. He turned to Emiko who was watching him.

"Emiko, you are to think about Kuroda-San's proposal, but do not think that you must agree to it. There are always different ways to do things. " he said and Emiko nodded. She looked at me and led me out of the room.
