Chapter 23

Mitzuki

Whispers. Talking. Stares. Its hell. I honestly thought high school was better than middle school. But its worse. Every time I walk through the halls I hear my name being mocked. Or an Asian reference being lashed out. I should blame my father for making me Japanese. I would if I didn't like asain. Glad I do.

Since the Rider incident my parents have been more strict on me. Girls throw dirty stares at me every where I go. And Rider….well he doesn't even bother with me. So it seemed at first but these past few weeks since I been hanging out with a guy from my chem class Rider has been at my side all the time. Which was pretty annoying.

"Look I don't want to be your girl. So stay away from me." I shoved him away, which earned me a scoff from a girl nearby.

"Please baby just give me one more chance!" He begged. I rolled my eyes then slammed my locker.

"How many times do I have to tell you. Get lost!" I yelled. Rider looked furious. He clenched his hands into fists. I backed away. "I should of never laid eyes on you." I added before storming off. Once I got to the bathroom I went into the stall. My pants got half way down when I saw a flash of light. Like a camera. I looked up to see two girls taking pictures, giggling. "Hey!" I got my jeans up. I got out of the stall to watch them circle me like hyenas.

"So we hear you went to Rider…." The girl holding the camera said.

"Did you like it….tramp…." The crazy eyed girl said, holding a bat in her hand. Who gave the crazy girl a bat. Ah hell.

"You don't know what happened you freaks." I said then trotted to the door only be bashed in the head. I turned to see the girl holding the bat high was laughing. Crazy bitch. I shook my head. "You girls are not in my time frame." I banged open the door and out in the hall. The girls followed. I looked back. Shit. I started pacing my steps. couldn't shake them off. I smacked into someone on my way of escaping. I rubbed my nose, looked up to see Rider. I snarled. Great just what I needed.

"Get her!" I heard the girl with the camera yell.

"What the hell?" I heard Rider voice. I shoved passed him and ran. I skidded the corner and out the door. I got to the court yard when I was out of breath. I leaned against a tree that sat behind the flag pole. I laid my head in my lap, thinking back on my used to be life. Why couldn't I've listen to my parents?

"Mitzuki?" I looked up to see…..Rider. What the hell. He sat next to me. "Are those girls harassing you."

"Not your business." I told.

"It is so. If my girl-"

"Since you took my virginity by force! I have and never will be your girl." I raged. He sighed, clearly annoyed. "Look if your annoyed go somewhere else. I don't need your bullshit. Or you stupid friends bull. So leave me alone."

Rider stared at me. He got up. "Fine." He shoved his hands in his pockets and started but stopped when he saw my friend Dean come to me. He turned to me then sat beside, furious. "I said go!"

"It's a free country damn it." He growled. What the hell is his problem? "Plus I havent met your friend." He purred as his eyes squinted towards Dean. I lifted my brow at him then at Dean. Clearly lost. I shook my head then glared at Rider.

"You don't need to meet my friend. Now go away you liar. Cheater. Player boy!"

He frowned. "Why cant you see im trying to show you I've changed! I realized I put you through hell! I could have any girl on campus but I choose you!"

"Choose someone else Rider!" I yelled. Old feelings brought up again. I held my face as I sunk in my lap.

"Please Mitzuki….give me another chance…."

I shook my head. I got up. "If you wont leave then I will." I stomped off. Dean following.

A few days passed. Dean heard the rumors. He ran off. Told me he didn't want to be involved. I told him okay. My sister went on as nothing was happening, well in her eyes nothing was. I was the same Mitzuki. My friends don't see me different as well. I wouldn't want them to. Rider finally gave up. All though it felt even lonelier without him. I was alone in this war. Me and the kids of the school.

"Hey hussy we finally found you!" I heard a laugh. Crap. The girl with the bat is back, and she brought friends. Luckily it was after school. And nobody was around.

"So what are you gonna do!?" I took a fighting stance. I wont back down. I wont break. Not because of them.

"Gonna make you wish you never met Rider." The girl with a chain laughed.

Trust me. Im already doing that to myself.

I noticed the girls were surrounding me. There were some guys too. Big muscles. Lovely.

"Great! With hussys like you im sure im gonna forget." I laughed. That earned me a hit to the face, with the chains. They felt cold, wet and hard. I landed on my butt. I stared up at her with anger feeling me. "Now your pissing me off." I yelled as I lashed out on her. Though I was hit by a bat. I hit the concrete hard, not having time to get up as they all took a jab at me at once. My sides were kicked. My face felt numb. My hands were stepped on. My back was trampled and my legs were hit several times by that damn bat. It was when I was half way passed out I noticed a girl was chaining up my leg to a car. I widened my eyes. They were going to kill me. I grabbed my phone then quickly dialed someone. Anyone. Rider.

"Hello…."

I felt the chain yank on my leg hard. Hard enough to make me yell.

"Mitzuki!?" I heard Rider's voice.

I was going to scream help when the car started. that's when I just screamed. I felt my body hit the road a million times. I held my head in a protective way, my leg was throbbing in pain as well as my limbs. It seemed like this went on forever. Then it stopped. I laid my head on the hot concrete road. I saw someone's shoes come into view. I looked up slowly to see…..Rider.

"Mitzuki…..Don't worry…." I felt his hand on my face. His lips were mouthing something. My vision went blurry before fading into endless black.

Rider

I honestly don't know why I had sex with her. I wish I didn't. I mean I wanted to but I also wanted to wait. I noted that I treated her like crap in the past but I want to make up for it. Something draws me to her. Her voice. Her eyes. Her hair. Just the way she can say no. she makes me crazy.

Staring at her beaten up face made me realize how bad things were. The kids said they were having fun. Fun is arcades. Video games. Riding motorcycles. Fun wasn't dragging a girl on concrete with a car. Finishing wrapping up her leg I heard her groan. I saw her feet were bad too, but her leg, the one that had the chair around it was worse. I dabbed alcohol on the burn the chains made. She groaned even more. "I know. I know." I rubbed her bandaged head as I calmed her down. "Bare with me here Mitz." I softly said before getting up. I grabbed some more gaze when I heard her sobs. I turned to look. She had an arm draped over her eyes. Her hands were clenched in fists. "Mitz?"

"Why…..why do you save me…..? Why cant you let me hate you…." She sobbed. I frowned as I lowered myself on the coffee table. I wrapped up her leg before moving her arm so she could look at me. Her eyes were filled with tears. I frowned. "Why cant you just leave me bee. They could of put me out of my misery."

"I-I cant leave you bee. I heard your screaming. I came. I saved you because I care about you…."

"Why? Im just a sex target with legs…." She cried. I gently cushioned her up so she be in a sitting position. She tried to cover her face but I wouldn't let her. I hugged her.

"The day after the party….my friend told me what I did…..I was ashamed. I wasn't raised to be like that. Sure Im a bad boy…but to girls I like….really like…I don't do that. I have no excuses. I abused you. Treated you like trash. You have every right to despise me."

"So why…..hassle me?"

"Maybe because I hope that you'd like me again, I know im dreaming but….I can only hope." I let her go a little. "You the first girl who really liked me….and my stupid ass screwed it all up." I frowned.

"Well….Its as start…" She voiced. She cleared her tears then made an effort to smile. "You admitting your stupid ass screwed it up…"

I smiled with her and laughed. "I just….want us to start over…..could we?"

She gave it a long thought, to long that I was about to throw in the towel but she slowly nodded. "Im Mitzuki…."

I gave her a smile. "Rider….."

"She's where!?" Saki bellowed. I sighed. I handed Mitzuki some food before checking over her wounds.

"At my place…"

"You sicko!" I held out the phone as there was yelling on the other side. Mitzuki rolled her eyes and grabbed it from me.

"Saki!" A pause. "Im at his place. Im sort of out of commission." another pause. "Well I ran into some trouble."

Pause. "Just tell mom and dad that im at Diana's please…"

I sighed, got up and went to shower. Once back I saw Mitzuki eating, sitting up right. Her legs hanging over the couch. "You were supposed to move! It takes a while for your body to recoperate."

"Don't be such a nag. Im fine." She said as she stood. "See." As soon as she took a step she collapsed. In the nick of time I caught her. "Oops." I heard her say. I sat her back on the couch before sitting with her. "Look you got to be patient."

She frowned. "Being patient is boring!" She whined. She looked around. "So is this your parents place?"

"Nope. I bought it."

"Your only sixteen though."

"So."

"So wheres your parents?"

I shrugged. "Traveling I bet."

She yawned. "I wonder what I'll do tomorrow. Obviously I have to go to school-"

"No. if you do that, you'll get hurt."

"Not if a big strong muscle man is at my side."

"Cant. Your leg is bad, so bad that you wont be able to walk on it for a week or so."

She frowned. "I cant do that. Please help me to school Rider!

I held the bridge of my nose after staring at her small sadden face. I sighed then looked at her. "Come up with some excuse before morning. Get some rest okay?"

She hugged my neck and kissed my cheek. "You're a life savior!"

"I better be." I winked. I tucked her in as she finally fallen asleep. I cleaned up her wound a bit before wrapping it back up. I looked at my big bed, then the couch. I thought for a moment. I carefully picked her up and laid her in my bed, covered her up then smiled down at her. I kissed her head before retreating to the couch.

I closed my eyes. Her face popped in my mind before falling right into a sleep coma….

Sanji

Jin this. Jin that. Its all about him these days. I don't hate Saki's boyfriend….im just not fond of him. He gives me a bad feeling. He's pale, like vampire pale. And im sure he has some fangs, although Saki tells me its me imagination stuff…. Maybe she's right. I stared at Jin as he made his way towards us. Saki, standing near me smiled a big one for him. "Jin over here! I was just going over notes with Sanji!"

Jin didn't look to please to see I was with her. He yield at her side, stood in front of me. I shifted my weight onto my other foot as I leaned back against the wall. "Really now." He glared at me.

I glared back. Saki, oblivious to mainly everything smiled. "Yes." She turned to me. "Your coming over to tutor me right?"

Jin's eyes grew wide with fury. "No."

Saki looked up at him with a questioning look on her face. "What?"

Jin grabbed her arm before pulling her aside. I watched the two talk for a moment then saw Saki frowned as she looked at me, then him. That son of a bitch. He was getting between me and her's relationship. I walked over in the middle of Jin saying. "-I don't want him near you."

Saki gave him a long stare, then me, then back at him. Her face sadden by a choice that she hated to make. I'll make it for her. "Don't worry about it Saki. I'll get someone else to help me. I'll see you around." I smiled. I backed up then spun for the door of my next class. I sat in science wishing….she wasn't with him.

Midnight. I stared at my alarm clock that sat on my bedside table. It now read twelve o one. I sighed. I looked back at my notes from algebra then at my clock. Its hopeless. I don't get this crap at all. When I was about to turn in for the night I heard a knock on my window. I got up. Stared at my window as I made my way slowly towards the window. I opened my window to peer out. Bafflement grabbed me as Saki popped up. "Hey!" She giggled. I let out a yelp. Fell back onto my butt on the floor then stared up at the girl who was climbing in my window.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. She held out her hand. I took it before being pulled up by her. She smiled.

"I promised to help you. I don't break promises."

"But Jin-"

"Will deal with it." Her hands grabbed mine as her eyes peered up at me. "You've been my best friend longer than he has my boyfriend. You obviously come first." We both stared at one another till I felt a pull towards her. I was really close to kissing her, but she backed away. "Sanji. I have a boyfriend now. So friends." She said. Squeezed my hands then dropped them. "Alright so lets get started."

I felt pain inside as her words repeated in my head. A friend….that's all I'll ever be. Like hell I can be something more to her. Lie to her. Lie so you wont have to look at her…and know you'll never be.

"A-actually….im fine with this stuff….plus its late. I'll drive you home." I quickly left her to grab my coat.

"Wait…. Sanji come on I-"

"Should be home. Resting. Come on." I said before escorting her out of my house and driving her home.

Without a word.

"You know. Saki is such a cutie." Mitzuki smiled. She sat next to me at the café. "She looks really lonely."

I stared up across the table to see Saki talking to Jin and his friends. Well he was mainly doing the talking. She was just smiling at them. Probably pretending. "No she doesn't. she's just fine." I said before shoveling taco meat in my mouth.

"You do know she is hiding her true feelings?" Mitz said. I rolled my eyes. I knew Saki's true feelings. A friend…. I felt Mitzuki's eyes on me. "Don't you have a boyfriend to smooch." I growled.

"One. He isn't my boyfriend. Two. I don't kiss. Three. Im helping blind lovers out!"

"Well this blind lover isn't blind. I love her. I already know that."

"So why not tell her."

"She has a boyfriend." I frowned as I watched Jin kiss on Saki's neck making her giggle. "She already shot me down." I added.

Mitzuki said nothing for long while. Her friends came swarming in, after a while of he said she said talk I got up and left.

When I got to the computer lab I felt a tug on my shirt sleeve. Turning I saw Saki smiling at me. "You want to come eat lunch with me….?"

"Ah, no thanks. I already ate." I shrugged then started for the door but was again stopped. I stared at her. She frowned.

"What did I do?"

"What?"

"I must of done something wrong. I mean since that night I came to your house you been acting distant…."

I was about to respond when we heard Jin calling Saki's name as he shuffled up to us, clearly pissed. "What did I tell you!?" He yelled as he grabbed Saki's hand. "I don't want him in your life! As long as your with me he is finished." He pulled her away, making her babble as she stared back at me. I watched hoplessly as he took the girl I love away from my life.

Although I feel like I should run after her…..

I don't trust that guy….

Saki

I stared hopelessly in my mirror as I applied make up to my face. It started with one. Then two. And another few. A whole lot more when he found out that I went against his wishes. I saw my best friend behind his back. I lied to him as well. I-I deserved this. I think. I struggled up, pain washed over me, making me walk slower to my dresser. Once I was dressed I came down to see my parents ready. My sister was choking down her cereal as if she was in a contest. "Good morning sweetie." my mother greeted. I nodded.

"So girls you ready for your science test?" My dad asked. I slid in the chair beside my brother Sam. My sister nodded. "I am so ready! What about you Saki!?" She spun around towards me. I shrugged. She frowned. "What's wrong?" She gasped as she smacked her hand on my wrist, grabbing a little to hard, I resisted the urge to pull back. "Is it Sanji?"

"What?" I blinked at her. That was unexpected.

"You guys have been rocky. Are ya'll alright?"

I pulled my arm away, pasting on a smile. "Yep."

"Hey whats that red spot right there?" Sam asked, pointing to my now opened cut. Damn it. I shrugged.

My parents exchanged looks. My mother came to me. "May I see?"

I shook my head. "Im fine. Just a cut. I should go." I got up, grabbed my back then headed off.

After washing up my cut I was on my way to Copal's when I felt myself slamming up against a wall. It was Jin. "Your bleeding. Why!?"

I felt my body shake all over as his hands were clutching onto my wrists, tighter and tighter. "Tell me!" He ordered.

"Just a cut!" I shoved him off, and blocked my face as he flashed up his fist at me, what stopped him was a voice. We both turned our heads to see Bailey, my friend walking up to us. There was a boy with her.

"I know you weren't about to hit my best friend right?" Bailey rose her brow. "Because I'll have to kick your ass if you were."

Jin looked furious then he glared at me. "Later!" He voiced before storming away.

"You alright?" Bailey asked. I just nodded. I smiled. "Thank you."

She smiled, gave me a hug. "See you in science." She said as she walked off. The boy smiled as he passed. I watched them turn the corner before holding my wrist. It hurt. Bad. First Copal now him. What is up with these guys.

I stared at my dad well now coach. "So are you refusing to dress out?"

"Yes."

He frowned. "This is the last time I let you slide Saki. The next refusal is points off your grade." He said, sternly. Then he plopped his hand on my shoulder, which made me moan in pain. He stared at me after he lifted his hand. "You alright?"

"Yes. Im fine." I said before racing off to a wall. I sat as I watched everyone play dodge ball. I hugged my legs. Sanji was right not to trust Jin. He seemed to good. He seemed to nice. Tears fell from my face as I recalled the first hit he gave me. After that first hit, its been a hit after another. I couldn't take it any longer.

"Saki I need you." I looked up to see Jin staring down at me. I slowly got to my feet, then followed him out of the gym. "Does anyone know."

"Know?"

"About my hittings? About me being a vampire?"

I rubbed my arm. "No. and no." I frowned. He flashed towards me, pushing-slamming- me up against the brick building. I grunted. I felt wet warm liquid seeping through out my hair. Blood maybe. Jin's eyes went red. "Blood…. You taste so good…." He huffed as he pulled down my shirt. I screamed as he held me close. His fangs touched my skin when I heard the door open. Sanji. He saw us. He glared at us. "Look I know your in love with the damn freak but my god stop PDAing. Its getting annoying." He snapped before he left. I felt pain in my chest as I watched Sanji go. Other students who didn't notice us as they passed caught up to Sanji. I blanked them out though. My eyes were only on Sanji's back. I closed my eyes. I pushed off Jin. I started running.

Luckily I hid myself in the sports supply room, though this was after Jin took a bite out of my neck. I made a dash after. I held my hand to my neck, feeling woozy. I didn't know how long I stayed in there before the door flew open. Sanji stood in the doorway, holding a basket of balls. I stared at him as he froze. He dropped the basket immediately as he flew towards my side. "Saki! What the hell happened."

I took effort to crane my neck up to look at him. I breathed for a bit. "You….were right…He cant be….trusted." I groaned in pain. I felt his arms wrap around me, gently, he was making sure he didn't hurt me. "He's…vampire…." I sobbed.

"Hey, Saki calm down okay…." He scooped me up before making his way to his house, without notifying anyone.

I must of blacked out since I woke up to a familiar room. Sanji's. I sat up, feeling pain through my body. I saw my body was covered only in bandages. I covered up more with my blanket when I saw Sanji eyeing me from his desk chair. I blushed. "How long have I-"

"Hours. My brother and sister are not here. I called your parents…told them we went home early to study." He informed. He got to his feet. Once beside me on the bed her took my bandaged hand and held it, tight but gentle at the same time. "Why didn't you tell me this….."

"He told me not to." I whispered. "He said….he said he'll kill you the next time he sees us together."

Sanji's eyes grew narrow, anger filled before fury took over. He looked at me hard. "I don't care what he told you. You stay away from him. You got me. Stay with me at all times….okay not all times but whenever he gets near."

I stared at him. I turned away then nodded. I got to my feet, feeling dizzy as I stood. He caught me when I collapsed. "Don't over do it." He voiced. I managed to hug my arms around his neck. I stared in his eyes, noticing how beautiful they really were. His lips. His face. The way his hair is to the side. All of him. I realized how blind I'd been going after the wrongs when the right man was here. Has been for four years. "Saki?" I grabbed his collar of his shirt.

"Sanji….I…." I breathed as we drew closer to each other. "I…."

I felt his hands lightly lay on my sides as he leaned in. I pulled him in, finally feeling his lips on mine. Our bodies against one another. My hands running through his hair as his run all over my back.

When we pulled apart for air we stared at each other for the longest time. "I love you…." I finally blurted. He looked taken aback at first then a smile curved on his angelic face. He cupped my face.

"Waited for years to say it. But I loved you since the day I saw you…."

"In the café right?" I smiled. He shook his head.

"When I was four….I helped a little girl who lost her way in the market."

I widened my eyes, remembering the boy who helped me find my mother. My mother cried like crazy that day. I dropped my jaw. "You-"

"Your pig tails was what hooked me." He chuckled.

I blushed, looking down. Embarrassed. He laughed even more. He wrapped his arms fully around me, then laid his head on my shoulder. "Stay with me….don't go to him….don't go back." He sounded serious now, and a little afraid.

I hugged his torso. "I promise to stay by your side."

He held me at arms length to look at me. I smiled. "Besides….I did say I love you….when I said it….I meant it….be my boyfriend?"

He grew red. "Boyfriend?"

I grew red too. I nodded. He smiled at me. "Of course….this just means you have to be my girlfriend." He winked.

I smiled. I cupped his face. "Of course!"

We then kissed. And the rest of the night…

Was a blur to me honestly….
