Episode 6

Nana's P.O.V

1 week later

I woke up feeling stiff. I got up and ignored the looks her father gave her. She was no longer seen as a good person, which hurt her. She knew that she had brought it on herself. After all she had killed her brother and attacked his girlfriend.

"I think its time you took responsibility for your actions Nana. I'm taking you to Shirokin." my father said as he motioned for me to get dressed. I went to a private school, and was constantly watched because of what I had done. I was on medication, and was required to see someone every week. My father was a strong man, and when he found out what I had done, he had me locked up. I had been friends with Ayumi, but something happened. I'm still not sure what happened.

Shin's P.O.V

We sat in class, it was the middle of the day, and Yankumi had gone off to do something. She was muttering about her henchmen. Ayumi was sitting in the desk next to mine, and was laughing at something Kuma was doing. She really brought the best out of Kuma at times, and she tried to do that to the rest of the boys, but it didn't always go that well. She had been staying with me at my apartment for a week now. Her parents had been mad at first, but eventually let it go. They said that we were so close to graduation that it no longer mattered if she came home. Nothing had happened to her. Nagasaki had yet to show up, and Ayumi had almost forgotten about her, but I hadn't. It was true that she could fight really well, but I still had the urge to hide her away somewhere until I knew for certain that she wouldn't be hurt. I knew that she would hate me for doing that, so I refrained from locking her up. But I still kept an eye on her. I heard a noise and I looked up towards the door to see Ami. She was looking into the room nervously. She was also watching Ayumi, so I knew something was up. I turned and poked Ayumi in the side and then pointed at the door.

"Ami? Whats wrong?" she asked as she stood up and Ami shook her head.

"Nothing is wrong Ayumi. But I have someone with me that wants to say something." she said and then motioned for the person behind her to come forward. The reaction was instant. Ayumi backed up and hit the desk behind her and glared at the girl. Thats when it hit me, this was Nagasaki.

"Ayumi I didn't come here to fight or hurt you. I came to apologize." Nagasaki said and Ayumi looked at her in shock.

"You nearly killed me! Granted I nearly killed you in the process, but that isn't so easy to forgive." Ayumi said as she stepped forward again, as she had gotten up the strength to face her close up.

"I don't expect you to forgive me. I don't want you to. What I did to you and my brother was unforgivable. But I just wanted to come here and say that I'm better." she said and Ayumi looked her over before nodding once,

"What happened Nana? We grew up together. You were my best friend." Ayumi asked and I felt shocked and knew the whole class was shocked too. They had been best friends.

"I don't know. The doctors think that I have schizophrenia or multiple personalities. I remember doing everything, but I don't know why I did it. My father had them put me on medication." Nana said and then suddenly dropped to the ground and bowed as low as possible. She was sobbing by this time.

"I'm so sorry Ayumi. I want you know that I won't cause any more trouble. Father is thinking of sending me away from here, and I just wanted to apologize before that happens." she sobbed and I saw a faint smile on Ayumi's face. She walked up to Nana and pulled her up,

"You don't have to leave. And I do forgive you. But I expect you to stay on your medication. I don't want to have deal with that shit again." she said and then looked towards the door,

"Can she transfer here Nagasaki-San?" she asked and we all looked at the door to see a man standing there. He looked so much like Nana. He looked at his daughter,

"You have a good friend. Don't screw it up again. I'll go speak to the head teacher." he said and turned and swept out. Ayumi smirked after him, and then pulled Nana over to our group.

"Nana, this is my boyfriend Sawada Shin. This is Noda, Minami, Uchi and Kuma." she said and pointed to each person as she said the name.

She sat next to me on the roof, she hadn't stopped smiling since the visit of Nana. She was grinning almost like a mad woman.

"So your happy that she is back to her old self. And you believe that she has those problems." I asked and she looked over at me and her smile faltered.

"Yes. Shin, her mother had the same problems. She is currently sitting in a mental institution. Her father was afraid that she would get it too, and it seems he had reason to fear. It hit her hard. No warning signs. Had I known, I would went to her father." she said as she turned away and looked out at the school grounds. Then she turned and punched my arm.

"Damn you! You ruined my good mood." she said and I laughed. I only showed emotion with her, and I was happy to do so.

"So I'm your boyfriend huh?" I asked and she turned to me. The smile was back and she rolled her eyes as she stood up. She pulled me up with her,

"Oi, don't act as if you didn't already know." she said and I smirked at her as she pulled me towards the door. We had dinner at her house tonight, and it scared me. I didn't know what to expect from her family.

Ayumi's P.O.V

2 days later

I sat on my desk and listened to Shin. He was trying to scare the boys, and instead Yankumi popped up. She screamed and I laughed at her as I stood up and turned the lights on. Shin frowned at her and then at me. I smirked at him as I pointed at her,

"Don't cover the windows!" she said and spouted off even more stuff. But I was ignoring her as I recovered the windows and waited for her to leave before shutting the lights off again. Shin shook his head and resumed his story. No sooner had we turned the lights on and put things away then a small boy came tearing into the room. I knew that he was being chased by the teachers. I stood up and pulled the little boy out from behind Kuma, who was trying to hide him. I got down on my knees and looked him over.

"Alright. Whats your name? Why are you trying to hide?" I asked as I took his backpack and helped him into my seat. Shin was watching me with him, and I waited for the boys response.

"I'm Kawashima Yuta. I came here cause I don't want to go back to my grandparents. My stepmom works here." he said and I nodded. So he wasn't related to Kawashima Kikuno.

"And I take it you came without anyone knowing. So you ran away?" I asked and slowly he nodded. I sighed and looked at him.

"I'm sorry. But I have to let them find you. You could worry a lot of people by trying to hide. " I said and he hung his head.

"I just want to live with Mama." he said and I felt bad for the boy, but I couldn't really do anything about it. Suddenly the head teacher came barging in and right for the boy. I stood up and stood in front of the boy and glared at the head teacher.

"His mom works here. How about you find Kawashima before you hurt the poor boy." I spat and then I turned and sat on my desk and began to talk to the boy some more.

I woke up to a loud ringing. I groaned and reached over Shin who had also woken up and yanked his phone to my ear.

"Shin? Yuta ran away." Yankumi's voice said and I sighed,

"Yankumi we will be there." I said and just as her voice yelled through the phone, I hung up. I pulled Shin up with me. He was looking at me, waiting for me to tell him.

"Yuta ran away again." I said and he nodded, and he got up. We had started sleeping in the same bed, but I would never tell my father that.

We both met up with Yankumi and the other boys. Kawashima Kikuno was there as well, but I was ignoring her. We had had a falling out when she had shot him down and then went on as if nothing had happened. She stayed away from me, because she knew that I was angry with her, and I didn't feel like getting in trouble for hitting a teacher. As I tried to think of where he would be, I remembered a conversation we had had before.

Flashback

I sat next to Yuta. He was looking happy, and apparently that was rare.

"So why don't you live with your mom?" I asked and I saw his smile fall. He looked up and then back down at the lunch I had given him.

"She said I have to learn to twirl. I can't learn it. And she thinks that I wouldn't want her when I find out she isn't my real mom." he said and I looked at him. He seemed much smarter than I had originally thought.

"Why don't you tell her that you know and don't care Yuta?" I asked and he shook his head. I looked up as his step mom came in.

"You came without telling your grandparents did you?" she asked and when he slowly nodded she sighed.

"Come on. Your going back." she said and I watched as he was pulled out of the room. When she came back into the room to get his things and thank us, I finally stood up.

"You are worse than a teacher. " I spat and the whole class looked at me in shock. She looked shocked too.

"Why?" she asked and I snorted.

"I can't believe that you would get his hopes up of living with you, and then shoot him down. You didn't ask what he wanted did you? You just assume that he wants to leave with his grandparents." I spat as I walked closer, but was stopped by Shin who had taken hold of my hand and kept me from walking forward.

"You don't understand. He isn't my son. I'm just his step mom." she said back and I laughed,

"Doesn't matter. Family chooses you, not the other way around. He loves you, so act like you love him." I spat and she looked down. I knew she wouldn't do that. She was just like the other teachers,

"That is why your like the other teachers. You think its okay to throw someone away. I don't want to see you in here ever. If I do, I might have to hurt you. " I yelled and she backed up and fled. Shin pulled me back down into the seat and I sighed.

End Flashback

I looked at her and glared at her again. Then I turned to Yankumi.

"I know where he is. I'm going. Don't follow me." I spat and then I turned and ran off.

I saw him trying in vein to twirl. I felt bad for him. I walked up to him and looked him over. He had hurt his knee and elbow.

"Yuta." I said and he turned to see me there. I smiled at him as I motioned for him to keep going.

"Keep trying. You will eventually get it." I said and he smiled big as he turned and kept trying. I eventually came to stand next to him and pulled him away.

"Your tired. Let me take you somewhere to get those looked at." I said as I made him look up at me. He looked put out and I smiled down at him as I allowed him to grab my hand. As we walked he looked up at me.

"Why do you understand me better than Mom does?" he asked and I sighed,

"Yuta. I don't. But I do understand your feelings. I haven't had the same problems. But I figure that having a friend who understands is better than being alone." I said as we walked up to the hospital.

I looked up from my book and grinned when I saw Yuta standing there. He was ready for school and his mom was standing behind him. I had since apologized to her, but it still made me mad that it had taken this long for him to be where he wanted to be. I set my book down and stood up. I walked over to them and ignored the fact that his mom flinched.

"If you have any problems out of your teachers tell me. Consider yourself my little brother." I said and I smiled when a huge grin appeared on his face. He looked over at Shin, who gave him the peace sign. I laughed when he went to each boy and thanked them, and then he left taking his mother with him. I turned and grinned at the boys, who grinned back.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I tried to make it longer. Please remember that I own nothing.
