Chapter 4

The Black Dahlia

Sanako's P.O.V

How did I get here? I don't remember getting into my bed, or even leaving the bath tub for that matter. I noticed this morning I was in my warm bed, instead of still lying in the bloody bath I made last night. I don't know why, but I studied my hands, they were clean, then my leg, which appeared to stop bleeding but why the hell was there gauze around it? I resisted the urge to panic and start screaming like mad, and instead focused on getting ready for my real first day of school! I'm so…not excited. I couldn't concentrate, I'm sure if I tried I would get brain damage. Who was my savior? Yuki? She's nice enough. I wasn't going to confront her about, of course. I didn't want to embarrass myself or more importantly her. Getting into my crappy uniform, I ran a brush into my tangled like crazy hair. I think I was being a little too rough, since I could hear my poor hair being ripped away. Yeah, a little.

Tying the crimson bow around my neck, I looked at myself in the mirror of my bathroom. The tub was also spotless clean. No blood. Creepy? Hell yes!Goosebumps rose unto my pale cold skin, my breathe was uneven and fast. A sudden knock on the door made me jump about two feet in the air, covering my mouth from screaming in fear. I quickly got the door, opening it slowly, seeing as it was Yuki, I smiled small and pulled it open.

"Your ready! Yay! I thought you weren't going to come today for some reason-"

I stopped listening. What did she mean 'for some reason?' Oh shit, I'm busted aren't I? She knows I'm insane! I tried to calm myself, oh well, she was going to find out eventually, right?

"Sanako? Is something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Ha, yeah right. If I'd seen a ghost I would be on the floor unconscious.

"O-oh nothings w-wrong." I lied, terribly.

She didn't look convinced but brushed it off. "Do you still remember were your classes are?"

I nodded.

"Okay, well I have to go to the sun dorms, just leave when your ready, school starts in another hour." She smiled, and walked off.

I closed the door behind her and plopped on my bed. I had never been more confused or freaked out in my whole life. Why would Yuki save me?

"Ahh! Idol! Over here! Shot me!"

I was laughing by this point. Idol was actually some gorgeous blond haired night class student with the most pretty blue eyes I had ever seen. And now, he was shooting, with his hand in the position of a gun, every day class girl. I kept my distance, I didn't want to be shot.

I watched as Yuki desperately pushed the crowd away from him. The group of happy cheering girls only pushed back. I almost feel, twice. It was worse than yesterday. I was behind two rows of jumping girls and in front of millions, or which it seemed like, who didn't know the meaning of stop pushing or stop yelling in someone's ear!

It felt like I got rammed by a mule, as my legs gave up and my body flew forward. I screamed, putting my arms out in front of me. I fell through the girls and landed on the really rough concrete beneath me. Moaning, I felt pain on the palm of my hands, I might have just scrapped them, no big deal. To my luck the day class was yelling for their dear Idol too pay any attention to me, the poor girl lying on the ground. It was good, though. I didn't like attention, or being embarrassed. I was about to jump up until a large hand meet my vision. Heart racing, my eyes slowly ran up to its owner.

I gasped. Silky orange wild hair, strange warm topaz eyes, warm smooth skin. My race turned red. My grey like orbs staring at him in amazement. I honestly don't understand why I did, but I reached out for his hand. I was surprised I didn't faint. Really, I was. When I touched his skin, I swear I felt sparks fly. Lame, maybe, but it was true!

I gasped again, as I noticed some of my blood was getting on him. Ew! I yanked away, jumping to my weak feet. No one was screaming anymore as I became the center of attention. My body was shaking. My legs felt like jell-o. My stomach turned inside out. I stepped back, wanting to just disappear in thin air! A few misbelieve kind of gasps were heard from the watching crowd.

I gulped, staring at his once clean perfect hand, now covered in my awful disgusting blood. Tears formed in my eyes as I watched it drop from his beautiful hands onto the dirty floor.

Before I could watch anymore in terror Zero roughly grasped my arm and dragged me away from the scene. My teary eyes still watched, as the man with orange hair awkwardly stood up. I forgot how tall he was, and handsome. But, I ruined that by getting my nasty blood on him! I'm so stupid! I can't do anything right!

The rough yanking of my arm made me hiss and try to get out of Zero's strong hold. He noticed this and just held tighter. Was he trying to break my poor innocent arm!

"O-oww…" I whined in complaint, could he be any more aggressive!

"Shut up." He growled, not even daring to look at me.

"W-why are you s-so mean?" Should I dare ask?

He didn't answer my question and just forced me along with him. I didn't care anymore. I wanted to die! Go crawl in a hole and die! I tripped over a small rock I didn't see and nearly fell over my foot until Zero harshly tugged me up. Wincing in pain, I tried to keep up with him. Where was he taking me anyway? To the nurses office? No! Please no! It's scary in there!

I was sitting on the eerie nurse bed, sadly looking down in shock. I still can't believe my blood got on him. He must've been so irritated or at least scared. I just hope he's okay. The nurse was rapping gauze around both my hands. Zero had already left, thank god. I sighed. I'm a complete idiot. I did nothing right, ever. All I was capable of was screwing things up and embarrassing myself. So much for ending up with the insanely hot night class guy. Even though it wouldn't happen anyway, but still. Now the thought of it was completely destroyed. Thanks to me!

"Okay, well you look good now." The nurse smiled. "Do you want to rest here for a while?"

"N-no thank you, I should get to class." I quickly said, getting off of the nurse bed and heading for the door.

After exiting, I walked to my class. Okay, just because I had a horrible morning doesn't make for an excuse to skip school, I told myself. I had to at least try to stay in this school, my step parents were running out of options and patience. I just needed to pass these three miserable years here and I could move out and never seen my demon step parents again! Too bad that'll never happen.

Thankfully, the halls were still full. I couldn't imagine going to class late, I was already embarrassed as I got a few stares and laughs by some day class students. Great.

I found my way to class, I shyly greeted the teacher.

"Oh, you're the new student, Matsukawa Sanako, correct?"

I nodded.

"It's very nice to meet you, I'm Mr. Tanaka, you mathematics teacher for the rest of the year."

I thanked god that he didn't gesture out his hand. That was now traumatizing to me. He told me to take a seat by the window, that was a bad mistake. I had a very poor attention span, and putting me next to a window, well, that was just worse. I found windows interesting. Well, I'm going to fail math.

As I took my seat, my eyes already wanted to search outside the window but I forced them to stay on the teacher at least for a little while.

Luckily, the school I attended before already went over the work this school was doing, so it was actually easy. The day flew by fast, to my amazement. The teacher's were nice, not too strict like my old schools. I was greeted a little bit by some friendly girls. They asked me the obvious questions, what's your name? or where are you from?, but I also was asked 'have you meet the night class?' I didn't answer that question. Even some girls asked me if me and Akatsuki were a 'thing.' I supposed Akatsuki was that man with the wild orange hair. I just blushed and stuttered a 'n-no.' Akatsuki, what a beautiful name such as himself. I made sense, perfect sense. All kinds of thoughts taunted me during every class, but I shoved them away. What was I going to do? Was Yuki the one in my room last night? What if it wasn't?

My classes were okay, a little boring yet very distracting. Most girls were talking about fashion, celebrities, and mostly the night class. I only had one class with Yuki and it was biology. She smiled and waved at me and I smiled back, uncomfortably. She did know my secret after all. I was silent in my classes, that was normal. I only spoke when spoken to and when I did, my sentences came out low and small. Damn, shyness. I got a sting of jealously coming from some girls to me, about the whole accident this morning. I was already being hated.

Back in my dorm, I closed the door, and made sure I locked it. I even double checked, making sure Yuki wouldn't get in, or if the complete stranger even was her. I didn't know, and I kind of didn't want to either. Everything is always better without knowing the truth, right?

If it wasn't Yuki, I just guessed who ever it was, didn't judge me. I deserved this. My mother is dead because of me. I'm horrible. I removed the bandages on my leg, the cut was clean but still looked red and infected. A new thought popped up in my

mind, why did I stay asleep? I thought I was a light sleeper? Well apparently I thought wrong. Was I knocked out or something? That could be possible, I did loose a lot of blood, or not enough blood. I ran a finger down the long cut. It barely hurt. As I brushed it harder, blood began to appear. I smiled. Come and try to save me now, my mysterious savior…
