A/N: I apologize ahead of time to those of you who like Tsubasa. I like him too, but I had to come up with something and this was the result of it. Also, things will be explained in later chapters so please, bear with me. Read and review, and above all...enjoy.

Last time: 'You're mine.'

I shook my head before going into the special star dorms and heading to my room. I laid down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling for a bit before closing my eyes, this time I had no trouble getting to sleep.

-Bethany-

I blinked in surprise as I opened my door and saw Mikan, Hotaru, and Yu standing in the hall.

"What are you guys doing here?"

I asked sleepily as I rubbed my eyes.

"We came to make sure you were ok. You seemed pretty upset yesterday."

Mikan said and I smiled at them. They were all worried about me. I never thought I'd be one to have friends, but I'm glad I do.

"I'm fine, Permy just ticked me off yesterday."

I said as I walked back into my room and walked into the closet to change.

"What exactly ticked you off?"

Yu asked from the living room, waiting since he was the only guy in my dorm room.

"I cherish my friends and I don't like people talking bad about them."

I said as I pulled on my skirt, stockings, and pulled on a different bra.

"Your friends?"

Hotaru asked from my bedroom. I pulled on my shirt as I walked back into the room. I smiled at her and Mikan who were sitting on my bed.

"Yeah, you guys. I consider you all to be my friends."

I said and Mikan jumped up and wrapped her arms around me in a hug. I laughed as I pried her hands off me.

"Come on, I don't want to be late for class."

I said and we all headed out the door.

Halfway to the classroom I stopped and cursed.

"What's wrong Bethany?"

Mikan asked and I sighed.

"I forgot my book. I'm gonna go back and get it, I'll meet up with you guys later."

I said as I turned around and ran back to my dorm. I opened the door and glared at the book sitting on the edge of the coffee table. I grabbed it and ran back outside.

'I'm gonna be late. I'm gonna be late.'

I thought as I ran. I suddenly ran into something solid and fell towards the ground. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact, but it never came. Instead I felt an arm wrap around my waist and I opened my eyes to stare up at Tsubasa.

"Hey there."

He said with a smile and I blushed. He helped me to my feet and I stared at the ground.

"Is this yours?"

He asked and I looked up to see him holding my book. I went to grab it, but he moved it out of my reach.

"Give it back! I need to get to class, I'm late enough as is."

I said trying to grab it from him, but the fact he was taller than me didn't help.

"Well if you're already late, then you can hang with me till next period."

He said and I glared at him.

"I don't think so, now give me back my book."

I said and he smiled again.

"If you want it that bad…."

He said stepping closer to me so that our faces were only inches apart. I blushed at his proximity and looked away from him.

"Come and get it."

He whispered in my ear before stepping back and walking off with my book in his hand. I cursed before chasing after him. I couldn't go to class without my textbook again, not after what Narumi did to me last time. I still had nightmares about it.

-Natsume-

"Oh look, there's Mikan, Hotaru, and Yu, but where's Bethany?"

Luca said and I looked up to see he was right. Bethany wasn't with them.

"Hey Mikan."

Luca said and she looked up.

"Where's Bethany?"

He asked and Mikan smiled as she and the others walked up to us.

"We were walking together, but she forgot her textbook and went back to go get it."

She said and Luca started talking to her and the others as they sat down. I stared out the window, having nothing else to do and growled when I saw Tsubasa holding Bethany in one arm. He set her back on her feet and she stared at the ground. She looked up and I saw Tsubasa had her textbook in his hands and he wouldn't give it back to her. I growled again when Tsubasa got close to Bethany and she didn't push him away. Then I saw him walk off and saw Bethany follow.

'What the hell?'

I wondered as I watched them both disappear into the woods.

I stood up and Luca turned to look at me.

"Is everything alright Natsume?"

He asked, but I ignored him and headed for the door. I heard Mikan and the others call my name, but ignored them as I headed for the forest where I saw Bethany and Tsubasa disappear. I had a bad feeling about her being alone with him.

-Bethany-

"Damn it Tsubasa, give me back my book!"

I yelled as I chased him around a tree, through the brush, and over an old rope bridge.

"As I said, if you want it, you have to come and get it."

He said with a smile. That smile was really ticking me off. I stopped chasing him and he turned to look at me confused.

"You leave me no choice Tsubasa."

I said and he just continued to stare at me. I smirked at him before using my Alice. I sent it along the ground and sent it behind him, then I snatched my book out of his hand.

"What the….?"

He asked as he turned to look at the purple-blue spirits I controlled. I called them back to me and they carried my book back to me.

"Thanks for my book sempai."

I said innocently and he stared at me in shock.

"Exactly what is your Alice?"

He asked and I rolled my eyes at him. If he couldn't tell what my Alice was after I just demonstrated it, then he was stupider than I thought.

"That's none of your concern. You've made me late enough as is, goodbye Tsubasa."

I said as I turned and started to head back towards the academy, but I stopped when I suddenly couldn't move.

"What the heck?"

I asked as I looked down at my feet to make sure I hadn't fallen into a quicksand pit.

When I saw I hadn't I tried moving my feet, but they wouldn't budge. I heard laughter behind me and turned my head to see Tsubasa smirking at me. He no longer looked cute, he looked absolutely evil.

"What the hell are you laughing about?"

I asked as he walked closer. I wanted to step back, but couldn't.

"You can't move because I'm using my Alice."

He said and I looked at him confused.

"Shadow manipulation."

He said and my eyes widened.

'Shit.'

"You really are quite beautiful Bethany."

He said as he stopped right next to me. He brushed my hair out of my face and I tried pulling away, but he stopped me.

"What do you want Tsubasa?"

I asked, keeping my voice steady. I didn't like being alone with people that freaked me out, and Tsubasa was at the top of that list at the moment.

"Isn't it obvious? I want you."

He said before he pulled my head towards him and pressed his lips against mine. I tried to bring my hands up to push him away, but his Shadow manipulation made that impossible. I was stuck in the middle of the forest with Tsubasa, unable to move, and completely helpless.

He pulled away and looked me up and down with a hunger in his eyes that made me shiver. He wrapped his hands around me and moved us so we were lying down, with him on top. I tried pushing him away again, but he froze me to the spot.

'Damn it! I am not going to let this happen, not again! I'm not as helpless as I was back then.'

I thought as I fought back the tears that threatened to spill over. I used my Alice and threw him off me. I tried to get up, but he still had me pinned. I heard him laugh and looked towards where I'd thrown him.

"We'll have none of that Beth."

He said and I flinched as images of the last time someone called me that flashed through my mind. I felt him hover over me again and then felt something sharp pierce through my lip. I started to scream, but he clamped a hand over my mouth.

"That should stop you from using your Alice."

He said and I used my tongue to find out what he just did. My eyes widened when I felt the cold metal of another Alice restraint. I tried to use my Alice, but nothing happened.

'No. This can't happen to me again, please, no. Someone, help me!'

I thought as I squeezed my eyes shut. The tears that I'd been fighting leaked out of the corner of my eyes and fell down my face as I felt Tsubasa's hands trail down my sides towards my thigh like Natsume had. It didn't feel the same, not even close. Natsume had made me feel hot, sexy, and wanted. Tsubasa made me feel dirty, ugly, and cold. I whimpered when I felt his hand brush across my core. There was nothing I could do, this was going to happen again.

'Natsume.'

I don't know why his name came to my mind, but it brought me a small amount of comfort so I clung to it as I tried to ignore the feel of Tsubasa tearing my clothes off me, exposing me to him.

'Natsume.'
