Here's chapter two!

Kotonoha was in some kind of black void with no one around. She finds herself in the Sakakino Academy uniform. "Hello anyone there?" she calls out.

"Katsura…"

She turns to the voice that she knew all too well. There he was Makoto Ito standing about 20 feet away. "Makoto!" she yells running to him. She was excited to see him and wanted nothing more than embrace him. But when she tries to jump in his arms she falls straight through him hitting the ground hard. She cries into the ground hiding her face. But it only got worse soon her best friend Sekia Saionji came into the picture. They hugged and kissed each other "Now that katsura is out of the picture we have nothing to worry about." Sekai said leaning her head against Makoto chest.

"Yeah…" is all he says looking straight at Kotonoha.

Kotonoha could only watch as her heart was torn from her chest. No matter where she turns she was forced to watch. Watching and hearing that made her want to end her life. But she kept her sister Kokoro in her head. The only person she was living for.

"I can't believe she just left you without saying anything…how selfish." Sekai said

"I know but at least I have you now." Makoto said kissing her again.

Kotonoha was crying uncontrollably on her knees. She saw a knife in front of her. Without even thinking about it she took it and cut her waist open. But as soon as it cut open it healed back up. She then starts stabbing herself in the chest but not dying. It didn't even hurt. Feeling nothing just prove how hallow she was. That not even blood was coming out of her. Soon she realizes that she is nothing more than a shell. Because looking on her hand there was a crack and that crack slowly started getting bigger. Soon it was all the way up her arm and with one last scream she fell apart.

Kotonoha woke up screaming, she was sweating and her heart racing. She quickly felt her face and arms to see that it was only a dream. "It was only a dream…only a dream…" she says hugging herself rocking in her bed. Looking at the clock it was 6am, time to get up. Kotonoha moved to the side of her bed and sat there for a moment.

"I can't believe she just left you without saying anything…How selfish!"

Those words ring in Kotonoha ears. It cause her to shiver "I'm not just doing this for myself…I'm doing it for my sister." She says rubbing her arms. This is how Kotonoha day started for the past couple weeks. Ever since she left home it's been like this. Every day was a challenge to get out of bed, to keep on living. A part of herself say "What do you have to live for now?" and the other said "This wouldn't last forever Kotonoha…you haft to be strong for yourself and your sister."

This causes her to get out of bed and to the bathroom. She turns on the shower and takes off her clothes. Letting the warm water run down her body. Her heart was starting to claim down and she was slowly coming back to reality. She wasn't supposed to care what Makoto and Sekai think, otherwise she would have never left. After finishing up she gets out and dries herself off before moving to her uniform. It was a lot different than Sakakino's uniform. The sleeves let her arms breath for once.

Kotonoha made some toast and decide that would be breakfast. Another problem that start was the fact Kotonoha wasn't eating that much. She only eats twice a day. Not even taking a box lunch with her. She skipped lunch altogether. From the time she moved to Yagami she had been losing weight. At the moment it wasn't anything to worry about but it would get there if she continued.

She left the apartment ready for another day of School at Yagami High with the insane Class 2C. It was the third day of school and Kotonoha was pretty sure there was something wrong with the class. But it wasn't all that bad yet. She was able to get her work done and not miss any notes. Today was a rainy day so before closing the door she grabs her umbrella and begins the walk to school. The rain made her feel somewhat better just because she liked rain. Today she looked a little better than the last two day.

Kotonoha made her way onto the campus and went straight inside. People said what they always said like "here comes miss despair." And from the guys "Look there's Katsura from 2C! She looks even better then yesterday!" She still had the look of depression on her face. But they didn't understand what Kotonoha has been through. Nor did she want them to; she wasn't there for them to like her.

"Hi Katsura!" the voice scared her a bit.

She turns to see Tenma Tsukamoto catching up to her "Hi Tsukamoto." She says with a smile. Everyone couldn't help but marvel at Kotonoha smile. This was the first time everyone but Tenma saw it.

"Listen I just want to say I'm really sorry about the other day. When I asked you where you were from. It's none of my business…so I just wanted you to know that I was sorry." Tenma says with a bow.

Kotonoha smiles again "Don't worry about it Tsukamoto….I shouldn't have yelled at you for asking. Its just I don't like talking about where I came from…" she stops as she feels that pain again. The thought of Sakakino caused her chest to hurt but she finishes "…It's still too fresh." She says.

Tenma could see that it was really hurting her to talk about it "No worry katsura I won't bring it up until you want to talk about." She says patting her head.

Kotonoha shook Tenma's hand off and continued to class walking a little faster to pass Tenma. She was having a problem with accepting friends right now. Sekai use to be her friend and look where it got her. Right now Kotonoha was having trust problems considering how she was stabbed in the back.

Tenma stops as Katsura left her in behind. She couldn't help but feel a little hurt. But there's still a lot that she didn't know about her. This was only the second time they have talked. Tenma then figured that she had trust problems. Which was only adding to the question "What the hell did they do to her?" she mutters. Tenma really wants to help her but she doesn't want to push it. For now she just had to wait until she was ready.

Kotonoha was still feeling the pain of the conversion. But she was able to keep in under control. Hopefully thing wouldn't get any worse. She walked into class 2C to find a full classroom. Everyone shifted their eyes to her. Kotonoha blushes and walks to her seat.

"Go and ask her! If you're not going to do then I will!" someone was saying behind her.

"Damn alright I'm going!"

Kotonoha was taking out her books when she was confronted by a boy. She didn't like this and for a moment she pretends he isn't there. "uhhh hi Katsura I just wanted to know if you would like to go out sometime this weekend?" he asked.

Kotonoha looked at him "I'm sorry but no…I don't date anymore." she says.

The boy's face was shocked and in the background you could hear some laughing and other things guys would say. He starts walking away still with the same shock face.

Kotonoha had plan that she would swear off love. Because she was still in love Makoto. The hooks were set in deep and would take time to unhook.

"Oh now she thinks she too good for anyone?" one girl said two rows over.

"She's just like that Sawachika girl! Most likely rich as well!" another said.

Kotonoha didn't understand why people picked on her for almost doing nothing to them. Almost everyone back a Sakakino hated her for no good reason. Here it was looking like the same thing but at least they weren't telling it to her face. This school was going to put her in her grave. Luckily the teacher walked in and class began.

The class was in a session when the teacher called on katsura for the answer. She stood up and froze for a second. This question was an easy one to her but she didn't like public speaking. After a couple seconds she finally answers the question. Everyone was surprise that she not only was cute but smart as well. The question asked was one that only Hanai, karasuma, or Akira could answer.

"oh now she's some kind of smart kid! Stuck up and smart…what a waste." The same girl two rows over said.

Tenma over heard them talking and really want to say something but the teacher call everyone back to attention. He thanked Katsura for her answer and moved on.

Later that day when the day was coming to an end there was some tension in the air. Kotonoha could feel it and wanted to leave as soon as possible. The bell rung and she stood up and left the room as quickly as possible. But haft way to the gates she was stopped by three girls.

"Listen Princess despair! We've just about had enough of her dumb act! Were you some kind of slut back at her old school or something? Because you're sure acting like one here!" the girl yells pushing her.

Kotonoha didn't know what to do. But this wasn't helping her at all. She couldn't defend herself over back at Sakakino for verbal assault how as she going to defend herself from physical.

"Stop right now!" someone yells from the crowd now surround them. Tenma steps through the crowd and in front Katsura "Who the hell do you think you are accusing Katsura of being a slut! What did she ever do to you? She's only been here for three day!" Tenma yells.

"Shut up Tsukamoto! This is none of your business!" the girl yells back.

Just then Tenma did something that shocked everyone. She slaps the girl across the face.

"You bitch! I'm going to beat her ass." The girl yells fill with rage.

Tenma wasn't any good in a fight so she was screwed. Just as the girl threw a punch it was caught but a big hand.

"You touch Tsukamoto and I'll beat your ass!" It was Mikoto who was now crushing the girl's fist. She cries out in pain and Mikoto throws her off her feet.

The group of girls knew that they were way out matched and ran away. Mikoto let out a sigh "Alright everyone shows over get moving!" she says waving the crowd away.

"You're a badass Suo!" someone yells.

Mikoto laughs and rubs the back of her head with a small blush.

Tenma turns to Katsura "You ok Katsura?" she asked.

Kotonoha nods "yeah…Thanks for helping me." She says glad it was over.

"What the hell was that all about anyways?" Mikoto asked.

"Those girls have been riding Katsura ever since she got here. There nothing but bullies…by the way thanks for saving my ass Mikoto." Tenma says a bit shaken from the experience.

At the name Mikoto Katsura froze and was over taken by pain. Her heart began to beat like a jackhammer and it really hurt. The name was too close to his name. Kotonoha started backing away hand over her chest. Her pain was written all over her face and Tenma and Mikoto took notice. "Katsura what's wrong?" Tenma asked moving closer to her.

"Stay away from me!" She yells running away off the school grounds.

"What the hell just happen?" Mikoto asked.

Tenma shook her head "I wish I knew…but something happen to her where ever she came from. Something that really damaged who she was." She says.

"That must be tough then. What do you think we should do?" Mikoto asks as they walk to leave the grounds.

"I wish I knew…I've never dealt with something like this before." Tenma said.

"Well I'm sure we'll figure something out buddy!" Mikoto smiles throwing her arm on Tenma.

"Yeah your right."

Kotonoha was running as fast as she could back home. Just hearing that name from someone else hit her like a knife through butter. The only difference in the name was just one letter and it almost sounded the same. She reaches the gate and has trouble putting in the passwords. Her fingers were shaking and it takes several tries to put in the right password. The pain in her chest was almost unbearable! When she got in her apartment she fell to her knees and starts crying. The pain was too much…

She looks at the kitchen and sees the knife from her dream. Without thinking she stands up and becomes hallow. The same look she had when she was pushed too far by Makoto. She smiles and walks to kitchen. Placing her fingers around the knife and lift it up to her neck "I can't do it…" she mutters.

Another voice in her head was yelling at her "Don't do this! Put the knife down! Remember why you're here! Remember who you're doing this for!"

"I CAN'T DO IT!" She yells pressing the blade hard against her neck and about slide it cross when her cell phone rang. Kotonoha stops and drops the knife. Falling to her knees she is in shock on how close she came to ending her life. She slowly came back down to earth and she answered her phone. "Kokoro…" she says about to cry.

"Sister what's wrong? Are you crying?" the young voice asked very concerned.

"No…No just got something in my eye…it's good to hear from you Kokoro." Kotonoha says wiping the streaming tears off her cheeks.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Kokoro…I'm fine, don't worry about me. How's school going?" Kotonoha asked taking the knife and putting it back.

"It's going ok…I really miss you sis." Kokoro sounding like she was going to cry.

"I miss you to Kokoro…but remember this is for the better. Remember I'm doing this for you." Kotonoha said. She couldn't believe that she almost ended all of it right there. That she lost focus and fell into the hallow empty person she's trying to leave. She couldn't do this alone. The weight was just too much for one person to bear. Sooner or later she would kill herself if she kept this up. She needs someone to get through this. Otherwise she may not live to see her sister again.
