Chapter 3

During that month that Lenalee didn't talk to Komui, Komui was thinking about Jasmine. Komui and Jasmine were still good friends before she was raped he remembered and she would tell him things that she wouldn't tell anyone. He remembered the night that she was raped, it was a warm spring night, Jasmine was courting with a man who was rich he took good care of her when they went on dates until they got to her gate. Jasmine would have to walk a distance at night just to get home. They lived on the edge of a city and the man would drop her off at the gate of her family's property. Jasmine insisted on walking home from the gate at night, so she would walk about 1/8 of a mile in the dark to her house. That night someone followed them from the bistro that they ate at.

~Komui's Flashback~

I was the one who found Jasmine when I went to deliver something to her family. She was lying unconscious on the path that was in-between our families properties, I was the only one who would have found her. When Jasmine finally woke up she was in her bedroom with a doctor and some nurses. I waited outside her bedroom door until he could go see her I was the one who brought her back to her house.

When the doctor finally came out when it was dark and he told me to be careful of what I say because Jasmine was in a very sensitive state. I walked in and Just as soon as she seen me she hid under the blankets.

"It's ok Jasmine. It's just me Komui."

"That's why I want to hide"

"You don't need to hide from me, I won't hurt you."

"Just go away, you already hurt me…"

"Ok... I'm sorry for whatever it is that I done… Good night I'll come back tomorrow to see how you're doing."

At the time I wasn't too sure what had happened to Jasmine I was unable to understand well not until she told me a couple of days later.

"Nurse, Can you please leave for a minute and let Komui in, I will talk to him now." Jasmine said

"Yes miss."

A few minutes later the nurse let me in.

"Hello Jasmine" I said.

"Hi" Jasmine said timidly

"So, um… what did you mean last time I was here?"

"When?"

"When you told me that I already hurt you…"

"Oh… well that's what I wanted to talk to you about too… it meant leave me alone, I can't believe you would take advantage of me…" She said in a rather angered tone of voice.

"Whoa what do you mean take advantage of you?! I just panicked when I carried you here, you looked hurt even though you were… umm… naked"

"How do you expect me not to believe it was you who did this to me?" Jasmine's voice was rising.

"Well for one thing I wasn't on either of our families' properties until the morning that I carried you here and I don't even know what happened I just knew you were hurt and naked!"

"…"Jasmine was silent.

After a couple of minutes Jasmine and I calmed down enough to hold a decent conversation with no arguments.

"So… You weren't the one who snuck up on me and striped me naked?"

"No it wasn't me, why would I do that to you Jasmine?"

"I don't know maybe the fact that I thought that path was only known by us, you know the one you found me on that mourning."

"Maybe someone has been watching you? Besides that I barely even know what happened to you besides being stripped naked."

Jasmine blushed, she figured that since I was 13 I knew exactly what sex and rape was but we were very protected by our parents and knew little about love.

(until after Jasmine had her baby, Lenalee that is.)

Jasmine was once again silent.

"Jasmine I wouldn't hurt you in any way I promise you this" I said wanting to tell her I loved her but she was courting someone so it is inappropriate.

"I know but then who would it be?"

"I have no idea but you're very beautiful who ever done this could have been jealous of you" I said still clueless of what happened to her.

"Komui don't be a dummy I know you know what you're umm… man parts are for and I am certain a woman didn't do this, the person violated me," Jasmine said this in an oh-please kind of tone.

"Oh…. OHH!" I blushed I knew what sex was but I didn't know that she was forced to or anything I didn't really think of anything like that yet.

At my reaction Jasmine was positive it wasn't me and she even laughed at me for that reaction.
