Misaki POV

"Would you please stop calling me." I said.

"I'm just worried about you, you don't have to sound so annoyed." Usagi's voice came through the phone.

"As I have told you practically every day I am fine, I haven't seen them in over a month. Its not your problem anyways, so why are you worrying?" I said.

"I'm pretty sure anyone would be worried about someone who was being raped and refused to get help." he said.

I flinched at the word rape. It always bugged me how he was so open about it, shouldn't he know that its a sensitive topic.

"I don't care." I said.

After a pause Usagi said "Sorry I mentioned that, I just want to make sure you're alright."

"I'm fine. goodbye." I said hanging up the phone.

It was weird, like he knew what I was thinking. Was I that easy to read? I could hide my feelings from Nii-chan but he was never good at noticing things.

"I don't have any time." I thought as I walked out of my part time job. It wasn't that I didn't have time its just that I wasn't used to working. But I had to pay rent for the little apartment I had so most of my time off I was tired from my jobs and having to clean up. For a small place it had an incredible amount of hidden dirt that kept popping up.

I had to cut through a nice part of town to get to my other job in time but at least I could see how happy other people were.

"Taka-kun." someone called out.

I turned around not knowing that I was about to sink back into my nightmare. Standing just a few feet away from me was Nakano. I froze up for a second before I started running away at a dead sprint. At first Nakano caught me but I threw my elbow into his stomach making him release me from surprise. He was probably only shocked enough to let go because I had never actually tried hitting one of them before. He had expected me to run but it was a shock to both of us what I did. I probably wouldn't have tried to hit him if I was actually thinking but I was just running on instinct and fear.

I stopped in front of a building, panting. I could run faster than Nakano but he could run longer. I looked up at the building I was next to, it was familiar. Its Usagi's building I realized. Without thinking I ran into the building and up to Usagi's door with Nakano still following me awhile away. I had seen Usagi put in the entrance code last time I was here so I knew how to get in. Don't ask why I watched him put in the code, I really didn't intend to ever come back. I quickly ran inside and locked the door when I saw Nakano. He was beating on the door and screaming at me to open it as I slid down and sat in front of it. I didn't notice that I was shaking until I felt a wet drop roll down my cheek. I hated myself for crying. It definitely wasn't that bad but the shock of seeing him after so long was too much. The more I thought about it the harder I cried until the loud sobs refused to stop.

"Misaki?" someone said.

I looked around scared and then my eyes landed on Usagi. I don't know why I was surprised to see him it was his house.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to barge in, I'll leave now." I said lowering my head to hide my tear streaked face.

"Misaki, are you alright?" Usagi asked.

I stopped with my hand on the doorknob. Am I? I should be fine but something about this time is different, it feels like one of the first times years ago.

"I'm scared." I accidentally said out loud.

"What happened?" Usagi asked concern coating his voice.

"N-Nothing! I didn't say anything!" I said trying to leave.

"Misaki." Usagi said gently grabbing my wrist to keep me there "Its okay now, you're safe here."

Usagi cautiously pulled me into an embrace, I tensed on instinct but then relaxed. It was just Usagi, he wouldn't hurt me. I leaned into Usagi's chest and continued sobbing.

"What happened?" Usagi repeated after my sobs had mostly quieted.

"It really is nothing, I saw one of the people who… did that to me." I said shyly. I was embarrassed that I had broke down crying in front of Usagi.

Usagi tensed and held me tighter. "What did they do to you?" Usagi asked with venom in his voice.

"I-I'm fine, I was just scared. You don't have to worry about me." I said.

"How could I not worry about you Misaki? This is serious and you need to stop pretending it isn't." Usagi said.

"I'm fine." I mumbled pushing him away.

"Please let me help you." Usagi said.

"How?" I asked.

Usagi looked puzzled by question for a moment.

"You can come live with me." he said.
