"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ami thanked as she practically choked me with a tight hug around my neck. I tried to pull her off just for the need to breathe. Her mouth was right next to my ear. I kept flinching every time she breathed. There was a white flash not too far away from us. I had to blink several times to get rid of all the dots.

"My two beautiful sparrows~!" Papa was really close to fan-girling. I was starting to get light headed. Ami needs too stop hanging around guys. Her grip is getting stronger than what it used to be.

"A…mi… I… can'…t… brea…the…" I was gasping. Ami immediately let go of me. I fell right to the floor. I took the biggest breath I could before taking deep breaths to try and regain the oxygen that I had lost. I could hear Mama giggling at us. I about choked to death and she's giggling at us. I would've glared at her if I wasn't so busy trying to catch my own breath. The living room was starting to feel extremely crowded. We do this sort of things all the time. Why do I feel so caged in? I slowly stood up. Maybe I just need a walk.

"Everyone will be here in a couple of minutes. I'm going for a walk before Ami's study buddies decide to show up." I said loud enough for them to hear. They just smiled in understanding. Ami's friends all thought I was really cool and it can become overwhelming for everyone. Though it was true, that wasn't why I was going to a walk. I just don't understand why I felt so locked up. I've never felt like that since then. So, hopefully a walk will clear my mind.

"Alright, take care." Mama told though I heard a bit concern in her voice. I tend to worry her since I do tend to come home late.

"Always." I stated as I walked out the door. First, Ikuto goes and makes me start feeling safe unlike anyone else has done before and then my own home, which always made me feel safe, knowing that my parents and Ami would always come to sooner or later, started feeling like a cage. None of this is making any sense! I would've ran my hand through my hair if I didn't always have it up in a ponytail. Letting my hair down somehow made me feel disgusted since that maniac dyed it after he captured me; that was another thing to add to my list of things I didn't understand. I turned around the corner that would detour me around the crowded streets.

"I wonder what Ikuto is doing now." I whispered under my breath. We hadn't really talked much since I told him I was terrified of people. It seemed as if he was keeping his distance. It made my chest hurt in ways that I never understood. The only times my chest ever hurt before then was lack of oxygen from Ami's hugs and when he kissed me by force, and when he shoved his… in my mouth. I felt like puking in the remembrance of it. There was a sudden pressure around my mouth as it forced me back wards. My eyes widen as things around me seemed to be moving too fast. It didn't stop pulling me backwards till I heard a door shut and everything around me was dark. My heartbeat had speed up tenfold. I knew what was going on all too well… I was kidnapped again.

Everything around me was dark as my head felt really heavy. I tried turning around in the bed to get comfortable but my right hand was stuck. I tried tugging at it but all I could heard was the clanging of metal. Maybe it was a chain? I cursed under my breath for the lack of lights. Why the heck would I be chained to a bed anyways? How the heck did I even get here? Why does my head hurt like it was just a target of a buck shot? I know for a fact that this isn't my bed. This bed was too hard to be my bed. I started tugging on my right hand even harder in hopes of escaping. If this was a joke, I was going to kill whoever did it. This isn't funny. A light from the ceiling a bit of a ways from my bed came, making me blind for a second. It didn't take long for me to adjust. I could see everything in the room now. If you could call it a room, it was sooo small. It had a bed and a night stand with a lamp on it. There was enough room on the floor between the bed and the other side of the room that I could lay down, but that was it. A pair of legs started coming down the latter I just now noticed was there. Something caught my eyes though. The man that came down had platinum hair that almost looked like silver. My eyes widen as the memories came back… I was kidnapped.

I heard a light flick on, making me blind for a second. I'm really starting to despise lights. The three men that Ikuto had beaten in the alley were there in the room, all with smirks on there faces. They had just kidnapped me. I hate my life.

"Glad to see us pinky?" The one that cut my shirt asked, tauntingly.

"What woman likes to see a bunch of incompetent men?" I said emotionlessly. The same dude punched me right across my face with enough force to seen me to the ground. I didn't make any sounds to express my pain. It would only feel their sadistic ego.

"That blonde haired brat was right. She's a spoiled brat." The one that tried to chase Rima stated. Blonde haired brat?

"Maybe we should teach her a few lessons?" The last one said.

"Blonde haired brat?" I asked.

"What is it to you?" The last one spat. My eye brows furrowed in confusion.

"Does he have pink hair and girly soft hand?" I asked. They narrowed their eyes at me. That was a yes.

"That's for us to know and for you to never find out." The chaser growled. The cutter started to smirk.

"I get first dibs." He stated while he stared at me with lust. He started stalking towards me. I crawled back a bit. His smirk widened at this. I started shaking again.

The man with incredibly soft hands turned towards me after he took his last step off the latter. There was an obvious fake smile on his face.

"Rosie, my fair black rose, did you miss me?" He asked in a sickly sweet tone. Black? I shook my head and notice the once pink strands of hair were now black.

"What did you do to my hair?" I asked.

"I fixed it up just the way you like it. Do you like it, Rosie?" He continued talking in that sickly sweet tone and fake smile. I glared at him.

"No! I want my pink hair back! And my name isn't Rosie! I'm Amu!" I shouted at him. He just continued to smile as he stalked his way towards me. His eyes weren't on my face though, they were traveling down my body. I looked down and noticed a thin white dress. I sat up and felt no underwear on me.

"Calm down, Rosie. I know we haven't done this in a while. No need to be so anxious." He chuckled as if this was all a joke. He stood in front of me now, leering down at me. I glared right back up at him. Before I had the chance to say a thing, he forced his lips on mine hard enough to force me back onto the bed again.

The man pinned me down to the ground as he forced his lips on mine. I struggled against him. There was no way I was going to go down easily. He was able to position himself on me to where I couldn't struggle. He smirked against my mouth when he realized this. I could feel his hand traveling down my body as his friends were chuckling as they watched.

"Not so tough now without your knight in shinning armor, huh?" One of them taunted. I felt two fingers being shoved into my vagina. I felt the man growl against my lips. He pulled his fingers out to where just the tips were still in before shoving them back in as hard as he could. His fingers jabbed me in an area where it hurt like hell, making me gasp. He took this to his advantage and shoved his tongue in my mouth. He took this time to situation himself between my legs. When he lifted up a bit to unbuckle his pants; I brought my knees to my chest, placed my feet on his chest, while using both my hips and my legs, I pushed him off me to where he flew back on the others. I quickly got up and ran outside. They were stupid enough to where they didn't take me farther into the house.

Taking the first chance I had, I took it. I ran. I ran like the devil him was chasing me with hell following him. In my head though, they were no different. I ran towards the woods that were next to the dirt road. I couldn't have him finding me yet. I just got free. My bare feet pounded on the ground as my heart was racing. I could feel the wind in every area of my body because this dress was so thin. I didn't care though. I just didn't want him near me again.

As I was out the door, I ran right into something. From the force of the impact, I caused the thing to fall over with me. I opened my eyes and looked up.

"Ikuto." I gasped. He looked down at me confused.

"Get back here, Pinky!" One of them shouted. My fear kicked in and I was already on my feet.

"We're not down with you yet!" Another one shouted but I was already racing down the street. I ran. I ran to the only place that had made me feel safe even when I was with him. I ran to the woods that I knew was near the school.

I kept running even though my legs were screaming for me to stop. I couldn't chance it though. My legs were already hurting from the 'activities' he forced upon me yesterday. I couldn't let that slow me down. I don't want to get caught again. There was a creek up ahead. I could hear it's soft waves of melody as it passed through nature like carolers around Christmas. As much as I wished to stop and take my time around the first creek I would've seen in my life, I couldn't, my fear was in control now. I refused to go back. I'd rather die than to go back. As I step on one of the flatter rocks, I slipped on its mossy surface and into the creek. My fear kicked back in. I was sure that he heard that splash. I got back on my feet despite of the pain all over my body, and I continued to run.

"Rosie!" I heard the man call. "You're in big trouble little missy!" He sounded like he was madder than mad. I didn't know the word for it but it didn't matter now. He more than likely heard that splash. I had to run. A rabbit had jumped out in front of me, scaring me to the point where I jumped in shock. The back of my head hit a tree. I tried pushing through this pain like I did with the others but everything was blurry and my legs were no longer listening to me. I heard the man running in this direction. I hugged the tree hoping it would fuse me with it. "Rosie!" He was in seeing distance I'm sure. He was far too close now.

I felt long hands snake their way around my waist. I opened my eyes to see that I was hugging a tree, just like I did in my memory. I looked down to the arms around my waist. Why did I feel save in these arms. I felt a weight on my shoulder as my hair started to move. Something wet was hitting my shoulder. I turned my head to the weight on my shoulder. I easily noticed the blue hair.

"Ikuto?" I asked. I could hear my own voice shaking. His grip around my waist tightened.

"Amu." I swore I heard him say. His voice was scratchy but what got me was the desperation in his tone. I let go of the tree. How did Ikuto find me? The lump in my throat was growing. Ikuto had always seemed to find me when I was in need of help. Tears were growing in my eyes even more but for a different reason this time. "Don't leave me." I heard him said with the same desperation.

"Ikuto." I said in relief. I held on to his hands around my waist. I wanted to hug him back. I brought one hand up to stroke his hair. I could feel him shaking behind me. "Oh, Ikuto" I repeated his name. I founded great comfort in just saying his name. Him holding me like he was, had pulled me out of a PTSD episode, which usually took a sedative to fix. I was just extremely relieved that it was Ikuto. He has no idea how much this means to me. My heart beat was finally starting to settle down. "I'm so sorry." I apologized. I felt as if my own heart had broken. One that I didn't think I possessed anymore. The shaking had stopped my shoulder was still getting wet. I had no idea what I was doing. All I knew was that I didn't was to leave this man's arms. I knew that I was safe here. "I'm so sorry." I kept repeating and repeating. The tears were flowing like rivers now. My face was warm but it stung. I wasn't crying because I was in pain. I don't know for what reason that I was crying. I just knew that I was, and so was Ikuto. That in itself made my chest hurt. He twirled me around to where I was facing his chest and snuggled his face into my neck before I even had the chance to look at him in the eyes and apologized right, nor even had the chance to thank him. My chest was hurting even more as I felt more tears hit my shoulder. I felt disgusted for what those men had done, but I felt relive just by being near this man. It was all coming at me at once that I couldn't make sense of it all. I wrapped my arms around him and hide my face in his face. I let out my cries, all that I had hidden from everyone for years. I cried in front of this man that gave me so much comfort in what little time that I knew him. I cried in front of my best friend. I cried in front of the person that's been basically my whole world since day one. As I cried, he cried, though not as loud as me. Our two broken souls let out the cries I knew for the years we had suffered. And we let them out together.
