"Yea, but it shouldn't take her this long." Misa added, with a worried expression.

"I'll go and look for her." Madoka said, as she got up. "I'll go with you." Takeo said, as he started following her.

Both of them left to go and look for Ako, as they were searching Madoka started looking at the bandages on Takeo.

"Hey, Takeo-Kun. Why did you put your like on the line for us?" Madoka asked. Takeo stopped and looked at her, with a confused expression.

"That's a weird thing to ask, it's because we're friends Madoka-Chan." Takeo answered, with a bright smile. Madoka blushed after seeing Takeo smiling. "You guys are the first friends I've ever had, and I'd do anything to make sure you all are safe."

As Takeo was looking at Madoka, she suddenly made a terrified expression. Takeo turned around and saw Ako on the ground crying, both Madoka and Takeo ran over to her.

"Ako-Chan, what happened!?" Madoka asked, wondering what happened.

Ako looked up at both of them with teary eyes, Madoka noticed the back of her shirt was ripped revealing her terrible scar.

"I-I, went back…to my room to get my guitar and a new song I wrote…a couple guys push me to the ground…and took both guitar and my song." Ako answered. "When I tried getting them back…one of them pulled me by my shirt back and it ripped."

As Ako was crying, a large amount of killing intent appeared in Takeo's eyes and he started clenching his fist tightly.

"Ako-Chan, where did they go?" Takeo asked, as he stood up. "I'm going to get back what belongs to you."

Ako nodded and pointed into the direction they went in, Ako looked down to the ground. She then felt something covering her back, she looked up and saw Takeo's covering her back with his jacket.

"Don't forget what I said. There's nothing you can't talk to me about, got it." Takeo said, with a smile. Ako nodded, Takeo stood up and started walking in that direction.

"Takeo-Kun, don't forget your injuries." Madoka said.

Takeo waved as he was heading to get Ako's belongings back. He later arrived at an abandoned part of the school, he looked heard five guys behind a closed door. Inside the five guys along with Ako's guitar and lyrics.

"Oh, I can't believe that face she made." One of them laughed.

"And after we started talking about that scar on her back, she freaked out even more." Another one added, with a smile.

"Hey guys listen to this." The four of them looked, as they guy in the middle opened Ako's lyrics.

"When I first saw you that day, my heart started beating faster. When you first talked to me, I couldn't find the words to tell you how I feel." The man in the middle said, as he tried mimicking Ako's voice. "And when you first called my name, I found my true love." As he was reading Ako's lyrics, the five of them started laughing.

Takeo's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and kicked down the door with little discretion. He walked through the door, his eyes were completely blue with no irises only a cold steel blue.

"Who the hell are you?!" The man in the middle asked, as the surrounded him.

"Five Seconds, that's how long you have to return my friend's guitar and her lyrics." Takeo threatened.

The five men laughed at him and placed Ako's belonging on the ground.

"These lyrics are garbage, a girl like that should just give up." The man in the middle stated, with a wide grin.

"5."

The men started grabbing their weapons and started surrounding Takeo all at once.

"4."

"3."

"2."

"Wait a second, are you that idiot she was talking about in that song." The man in the middle asked. "She must be really desperate or stupid to go out with a…"

Before the man could finish, Takeo appeared in front of him with his fist pulled back.

"1."

Takeo punched the man in the face sending him flying into the wall. The man's friends began surrounding him with their weapon coming down at them. With a quick and precise movement, he punch all four men in the stomachs.

The leader stood up and charged at Takeo with a knife in his hand, he thrust the knife forward aiming for Takeo's head. With a single motion of his hand, Takeo parried his attack aside and punched him hard in his face. That punch broke the man's nose on impact.

"Y-You, Monster!" The leader shouted, as he started crawling away from Takeo.

He started walking towards the man while releasing a large amount of killing intent.

"Takeo-Kun!" A familiar voice called out.

Takeo turned around and saw Takahata standing behind him with a worried expression. That emotionless and dead look remained on Takeo's face.

"It's over, let me deal with them." Takahata stated. "Ako and the others don't need to see this side of you, they need to one who'd always be there with that kind heart."

Takeo's eyes started returning to normal, he placed his hand over his face.

"I'm alright, I just lost it." Takeo responded, as he picked up Ako's belongings.

"You're mom said, that's been happening for a while and for me to be on alert." Takahata added. "But, this was a little much."

"Because a sad expression doesn't belong on her face, nor does a sad expression belong on any of their faces." Takeo stated, as he walked outside of the broken door.

Takeo began traveling back towards here everyone were, they looked and saw him waving at them.

"I got it back Ako-Chan!" Takeo said, as he gave her guitar back.

"Thank You, Takeo-Kun." Ako responded, as she started crying. "Uh, Takeo-Kun. Could I…"

Just as she was about to say something the sky started turning black and thunder started churning in the sky. All of them quickly went towards the school, carrying their lunches with them.

"That's odd, it wasn't supposed to rain today." Chao stated.

"Well, this lunch sure was a bust." Takeo stated, with a slight sigh.

"I wouldn't say that. Ako-Chan, why don't we go to the music room and you can play that sound of yours?" Sakurako asked.

Ako's face turned completely red, at her question.

"I-I, don't think that's…" Ako responded, but everyone looked at her with a reassuring expression. "O-Okay."

Everyone started heading towards the music room, when no one was around. Everyone sat down with their lunches in front of them, Ako sat in front of them with her guitar and the mike in front of her.

"Uh-Uh, this is a song I wrote to express my feeling for a certain someone." Ako said.

She started playing her guitar, which produced a beautiful melody.

[When I first saw you that day, my heart started beating faster. When you first talked to me, I couldn't find the words to tell you how I feel. And when you first called my name, I found my one true love. All I want to do is be with you, all I want to do is hear your voice.]

Everyone were amazed by Ako's voice and her guitar playing.

"Ako-Chan's really talented." Takeo stated, with a bright smile.

"He doesn't know, she's confessing her feeling through her song." Everyone thought, as they looked at him.

[I just want to say those words, those three simple and compassionate words. And he felt the same way after hearing those words from your mouth. My life would be perfect. But…I'm too scared, he'll reject me. I'm just too scared to tell him how I feel, I'm just too afraid.]

[I just want to tell him so badly, I just want to say those three simple yet compassionate words. I love you.]

Once she was done everyone clapped for her, which asked her to blush in embarrassment.

"That was amazing, Ako-Chan!" Takeo stated, with a bright smile.

"R-Really?" Ako asked, as she unconsciously hugged him out of gratitude.

"I think we should leave them alone for a while." Madoka stated.

The girls looked at her with a look of disbelief and reluctance, Madoka looked back at them with a slight glare.

"Alright, fine." Yuna pouted.

"Alright, but next time Takeo-Kun's all mine." Chizuru added, smiling at Takeo.

Madoka led the girls out of the music room leaving Ako and Takeo in the room alone.

"So are you ready to talk Ako-Chan?" Takeo asked, stepping closer to Ako.

She stepped back out of embarrassment, she started playing with her shirt.

"T-Takeo-Kun, did you see? My back, I mean." Ako asked.

Takeo remembered seeing the large scar that was on her back, Takeo nodded in agreement. Ako looked at him, with a saddened expression.

"You must think, I'm ugly now right? Those guys were right, what guys would want to date someone like me with this scar on my back. I guess, I'm just a side-character after all. I have no importance, I have no…" Ako stated.

But was stopped as Takeo punched the wall out of irritation. She looked at the strained expression on his face.
