2ND CHAPTER

"W-What are you doing here?" One of the men shouted.

"Let her go," that man just said.

"This is none of your business! She belongs to us now!"

"Shut up…idiot. Do what I say or I'll kill you,"

Those were his last words that I heard before I passed out. I soon found myself in the school's nurse's office, laid down; still in my drenched uniform but with a towel around me. My head was throbbing at first, but the pain soon lessened. Looking out the window, I could tell it was almost in dusk. The sun was at the edge of the horizon. Skies were clear; nothing but a warm mixture of vermillion and a slight tint of orange. I was sure I didn't sleep to long. Then again, I was knocked out. I could have been sleeping for days. My thoughts soon ran back to what happened before. It was a sudden knock that made me jump.

"Kame-chan, you're awake. Did I scare you?"

My eyes soon scanned the room, seeing a purple haired male walking towards me. In response to his question, I justshook.

"Shintaro-kun?" I then asked, blinking a few times. What was he of all people doing here?

POV: Kanzaki

Kanzaki told Shiroyama to stay with him outside the nurse's office. He wasn't sure how to approach her; at least not after what happened today. She just looked so broken. He was speechless. Those men back there were now nothing but a pile of broken bones now. They deserved it after what they had done to her. Wait, what was he saying? Why would he even care? She was Oga's. He barely even knew her. So why help?

In truth, he wasn't sure either.

"Kanzaki-sama, would you like me to get you some more yogurt?" Shiroyama asked, his eyes directed towards the school hall, where a vending machine stood at its end.

"Do it. Get a few more. It'll need it," Kanzaki said, his back leaning against the wall, as he tried to overhear the conversation between Natsume and Kame.

Shiroyama nodded and left. Kanzaki soon shut his eyes, so that he could hear the conversation between the two of them more clearly.

"Oh. So you know Oga-chan really well, don't you?" Natsume asked.

"Well…I…No. I don't," she answered hesitantly.

Kanzaki smirked at that response. She was obviously lying. Whether she still had feelings for him, he wasn't sure. But he doubt. After she found out he had a wife and also a baby, he could see her avoiding him.

"That bastard…to think he could have a few women at once. First Kame, then the Lolita and later Kuneida," Kanzaki muttered to himself.

"Kanzaki-kun saved you back there Kame-chan, you should really thank him," Natsume said.

"K-Kanzaki-kun? Uh…is he…alright?" she asked.

Kanzaki's eyes snapped open. She was worried about him? That's a first. She was always on Oga's side before they broke up not too long ago. Hell, Kanzaki could tell she was afraid of him just by hearing her voice. Oga was his enemy. Why help her? Maybe because he held a small interest for her. She was beautiful, skilled and intelligent. While Kanzaki was nothing but a brutal and ruthless man, who shows no mercy; at least, that's what he always pictures himself as. She wouldn't fall for him; not in a million years. She would never like a delinquent like him.

"Kanzaki-sama, I've bought the yogurt," Shiroyama said, who had just arrived with a bag of yogurt cartons which he bought at the vending machine.

"Good," that was his only answer as Shiroyama handed him a carton. Kanzaki soon added, "Give me another one."

Shiroyama did as he was told with no further questions.

POV:Kame

I had a little chat with Natsume, before Kanzaki entered. My face soon paled but Natsume held my hand, squeezing it a little.

"Don't worry, Kame-chan. He won't hurt girls," Natsume said, earning a small blush from me.

I could swear that I saw Kanzaki's eyes narrowed for a moment when he saw Natsume holding my hand. Nevertheless, he soon approached me and handed me a carton of yogurt, but said nothing. I blinked not once but twice.

"Take this, it's good for you," he said.

I hesitated a while but accepted it otherwise, muttering a small thank you. His lips twitched a little, which I thought, seemed like a soft grin. It wasn't long before Shiroyama entered as well. Soon I found myself chatting to the 3 boys. It was awkward at first, since we used to be some sort of enemies back when I supported Oga.

"So you're a freshman? No wonder you look so young. We don't get many enrolments every year," Natsume said.

"That's true…," I said, forcing out a smile.

There was a moment of silent before Kanzaki decided to break it.

"So, how long…have you been with him?" he asked, as he drank his yogurt. He was now standing beside the bed, back against the wall; which made him look even taller than usual.

"Pardon?" I asked, pretending as if I did not hear him. I did not want to talk about that now; at least not to these guys. I didn't even know them.

"How long have you been dating- I mean seeing Oga?"

I hesitated at first, trying not to make any eye contact. All I did was stare at the bed sheets, unsure of what to say. It wouldn't hurt telling them, right? There's nothing between us anymore. Nothing.

As I tightened my grip around the bed sheets, I said, "Um…we used to be childhood friends. We just started dating just last year…that's all,"

"Oh," that was Kanzaki's only response before he said. "We should get home soon. Do you need us to umm…carry you home?"

At that moment, I blushed a few shades of red. Natsume merely chuckled.

"No, no! It's alright. I can walk home by myself," I said quickly.

"Ah, Kame-chan is so innocent~," Natusme said, grinning as Kanzaki rubbed the back of his hair.

"If you insist, I'll walk you home. Your house is close to mine,"

"Um…alright. Thanks,"

It was then it hit me. How did he know where I live?
