Hey every body thanks for the follows favorites and reviews. Oh and Happy Birthday Sunshine girl! XD!

Oh god, what am I suppose do after seeing that. Then again I wasn't the only one. Stephanie saw the incident as well. After Hideo and what I assume was his father left. We stood there in silence before Stephanie let out a sigh and turned on her heel to walk away.

"Wait a minute!" I took a hold of her arm and turned her around. She had a dull expression on her face.

"What?" She said. I gave her a look of disbelief.

"How can you just walk away as if you didn't see anything?" I asked in an incredulous tone. It was crazy we had just seen a boy being abused and she just wants to ignore it?

She stares up at me. "Well what do you propose we do?"

I went blank. "We could...I don't know tell someone?"

"Alright, who?" She said. I was lost. Who would I tell? I'm not an expert on child abuse.

"..."

"Kristy, I'm not saying I'm not concerned, but in this type of situation, we do not have the authority to do anything. Think about it, judging by how they were acting this was not a one time occurence."

It was a regular thing. And I don't think he was done.

"There's always the option of talking to him about it, but the way things are right now. I highly doubt he would open up to either of us."She continued.

"So...we just do nothing?" I asked in an anxious tone.

She gave a slowly nod. "That's all we can do. For right now anyway." I pursed my lips, before she pat my shoulder. "I know that's not what you want to do, but it's what we have to do for now."

I gave a sigh. "Fine."

She gave me a weak smile. "I should probably go find Ana. She has the house key after all and our host family do not return home until very late at night."

"Do they all work late?" I asked.

"I do not have the slightest idea." She said.

I blinked. "You don't."

"I think I have mentioned it before, but they are very unusual people, very strange." She said.

"How so?" I asked, becoming curious and wanting to take my mind off of what had just happened.

She twisted her fingers through her blond hair as she tried to come up with an explanation. "They are all into black magic. At least I thinks that's what it is called. I would not dare ask them though. Their always wearing dark colors. It's quite intimidating..." She with a shudder.

"Black magic?" I mumbled. That sounded a bit like Nekozawa, but she didn't mention any kind of cat so I doubt it was them. Besides their family is rich, Ana would have been bosting on the first day if that was actually the case.

"Yes, but please do not tell Ana about what I said...about being intimidated." She averted her eyes.

I sighed. "You know I wouldn't."

She gave me a quick hug. "Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow."

I waved to her with a smile. "Bye..." As soon as she turned the corner my smile dropped and my shoulder sagged. "See ya..." I turned to walked toward the entrance gates.

*Break*

Stephanie knew that her sister wasn't going to drop it and to be honest she was just as curious as Kristy was. How can someone be that violent with a child? Despite that child being the biggest head ache she's ever seen since Ana. It was wrong and she wanted more information on the man even if they weren't going to take action. At least to ease her older sisters mind. She took her phone out of her bag, dialing up the one person she knew that would have exactly what she needed.

She put her phone up to her ear when the person picked up. "Hello Kyoya, it's me. I need your help."

"So the enemy is in need of my assistance."

She rolled her eyes. "Would you drop it. I was only joking."

"Hm, what is it you need? You do realize you don't have tutoring today."

"This isn't about tutoring. Could you give me as much information as you can on Hideo Katashi and his relatives?"

He paused for a moment. "And why would you need that?"

"I'm curious." She said.

"Stephanie."

"Something has happened, alright? Can we just leave it at that for now? Unless you are not capable of it..."

"Are you challenging me?"

"Perhaps."

"Fine."

"Really, just like that? "

"Just like that. I'm curious as to what your up to."

"Of course...I suppose I should thank you now..." She twirled her hair between her fingers. "So...thank you."

She heard a sound on the other side of the line that sounded like he was muffling a chuckle. "You're welcome."

"Bye...oh and for the record our team is going to win. "

"We'll see about that."

"Yes, we will...bye." After she hung up the phone she realized that she was smiling. She changed her expression quickly to a solemn one. There wasn't any reason to after all it was only Kyoya and they weren't talking about anything worth smiling about... She shook her head and went on her way.

*After school the next day (Kris POV)*

I tried my best today not to think about anything having to do with Hideo. But considering this entire festival was founded on the fact that he wanted to challenge me, it was pretty difficult. I mean how can someone hit their child like that? Even if it was Hideo. This question left me thinking for the rest of the night when I got home yesterday.

I shook my head. "Just focus." I muttered.

"So are you thinking again?" A teasing voice said. I looked up at the ginger. Kaoru.

"As a matter of fact I am." I said, trying to put on a smile. He stared before bonking me up side the head. "Hey." I said rubbing my head.

"Quit it."

"Quit what?!" I asked. "You're the one who hit me! Jeez everyone is abusing me lately." I quickly regretted my words.

Abuse. I frowned.

"Your upset about something again and you keep trying to hide it." He said.

"I'm not hiding anything..."

He looked completely unconvinced. "You can open up to me. Come on, how long have I known you Kris?"

"Not that long actually." I answered, thinking that he would retort with something else. However, it seemed he wasn't expecting that answer because somehow he looked hurt.

"Alright fine." He turned to walk on ahead.

My eyes widened. "No wait, I didn't mean it! I was joking!" However he didn't turn around. I jogged up behind him and took his arm. "Come on Kaoru, I was joking really." He still didn't face me. Why was he being so stubborn. Did what I say really hurt his feelings that bad?

"Come on Kaoru your my best friend, you know I love you." When I said this he turned around quicker than I could blink. He only stared at me and I had to check what I said in my head.

You know I love you.

My eyes went wide and I gaped like a fish. I looked down and realized I was still holding his arm. I let go quickly. "C-Cause you know I love all my friends."

He coughed into his hand. "Right, right. Me too. I-I mean all my friends..."

"Yep..." I held my hands behind my back and we just stood there. It seemed like we took turns opening our mouths, but having absolutely nothing to say.

He rubbed his neck. "So um...let's go."

I gave him an awkward smile. "Y-Yeah."

*Break*

Ana would have let out an evil laugh if it wouldn't have given away her cover. Today she was determined to see where Chika always ran off to after class. Of course Piglet said to give him some space, but she was so curious it was really starting to get to her. If it turned out that he was just avoiding her then she would leave him alone permanently. She wasn't going to lie, it would hurt her feelings if that's what it was, but she would respect his choice. Ana didn't want to be with friends with someone who didn't even like her.

Somehow she was leaning toward that thought. A depressing air-filled around her that made everyone she passed wary. Chika was about thirty feet in front of him. She didn't want the distance to be any greater or short than this. Right now she was in ninja mode. She hid behind doors corners and even people which made them uncomfortable, but it was all for the sake of the mission.

Finally they were outside which made it harder for her to hide. "How far is this boy going to go?" Could it be that he knew she was following him? No, he's the type to face the problem as soon as he sees it. So she was safe for now.

She was receiving strange looks and stares from the people around her, but thankfully no one voiced their opinion. If they did Chika surely would have heard it and turned around. Now he was walking past the rose-bush maze and into the field.

"Great how am I suppose to follow him out there without him seeing me?" She whispered. "I take one step and he'll see or hear me." She sighed. "Well I've come this far." She walked out into the field. Her shoes swished against the grass making Chika turn around.

When he saw her, his eyes went wide. "How did you-when did you...what are you doing here!"

Ana stepped forward into the grass. "I followed you."

"That much is obvious. I want to know why." He narrowed his eyes at her.

She gave an awkward laugh. "Well you see...the thing is..." She sighed. "I just wanted to know where you went and why you don't want to walk with me."

"So you followed me?"

She nodded "Yes."

"Has it ever accrued to you that maybe I just don't want to walk with you?" He asked. He was expecting her to just brush it off, but her eyes went wide and her mouth gaped open.

She was hurt. "I see. I won't bother, kay?" She started to walk back the other way and for some reason Chika's chest started to feel heavy

He didn't really wanted to hurt her per say. He only wanted a time to himself everyday. That's all he asked for, but somehow he didn't like the way she looked at him after he said what he did.

"...S-Stop..." She did as he said, but didn't turn around. "Look at me." She didn't listen. "I said look at me." Still nothing. He was starting to get annoyed. He marched up to her. "Ana I am you captain and I command you to-"

He was silenced by the look on her face. Her eyes were watery. She looked back down sniffing as she wiped her nose. "Sorry, you probably think I'm stupid." He was at a loss of words.

"...no I don't think your stupid." He took a step forward. "So stop crying it doesn't suit you."

She laughed keeping her head down as she wiped her eyes. "Yeah..." She took a deep breath and looked back up at him with a smile. "Well I'm gonna get going! Sorry for stalking you!" Her smile was almost to big to be real. But he would rather have this than her cry it made him feel strange.

He blinked when he saw her turning away. Almost on instinct he grabbed her shoulder "Wait...do you want to see where I was going?"

"Seriously?" She asked. He nodded as he quickly let go of her shoulder. She followed him through the trees and she was starting to wonder what could be out here that was so important. Suddenly quacking noises were coming closer and closer. She walked up behind Chika and saw a small pond filled with ducks.

"Ducky's!" She cooed. She crouched down to look at them. "Your all so cute!" Some of the smaller ones walked over to her. "Oh!" Lucky that this dress had one pocket because she had a crushed granola bar inside. She opened it and dropped some in her hand. "Here you go ducky's have some." They came over to her an eat out of her hand.

"They seem to like you a lot." Chika said sitting down beside her. "More than me." He looked as if he was pouting.

"Oh don't sulk." She said taking his hand. "Here you feed them too."

"O-Okay." He said. The ducks walked over to him and she noticed a blush on his face. Ana smiled.

"You all are just so adorable!" She said turning back to Chika. "Hey have you named any of them?"

He blinked. "Named them..."

"Of course named them. That's what makes it official."

"No I haven't..."

"Well we could start now." She pointed to the one next to her. "I'll name him Cuzco." He raised his brow. "Your turn."

"...I don't want to."

"Come on~" She said. "It's fun. Isn't that right Cuzco." The duck quacked in response.

His cheeks tinted pink as he pointed to the duck in front of him. "...quacker." Ana started to giggle. "Don't laugh at me! That's it I'm done!" He went to stand up, but Ana held his arm.

"W-Wait that's a good name." She said as her giggles continued.

"Your lying." He said.

She shook her head. "It's cute." She pointed to the duck to her left. "Chika." He stared at her. "Your turn..."

He pointed to the one in the water. "...Nico."

She puffed out her cheeks. "Aw come on I named one after you why not Ana~"

"I'm never doing that!"

"Hm, fine." She sat there as she poured more of her crushed granola bar in her hand. "Hey Chika?"

"What?"

"I know this was suppose to be a quiet place for you and me being here is ruining that so...I won't come here again." She turned and smiled at him. "Kay?" She stood up and dropped the rest of the granola on the ground. "See ya at practice." She went to walk away.

"Wait." He said. "I don't...hate you know...so maybe you can come again. Just don't be so annoying." He turned around and saw her smile.

"Thank you."

"Sure..." He looked away. As she left he point to the duck to his left. "Ana..."

*Break (Kris POV)*

Today we were allowed on the track to practice and I was going to take every minute of that time. And apparently everyone else was as well. The boys locker room was filled. Considering I was a girl I wasn't going to change in front of everyone so I brushed past some guys to the back. I was about to go into the restroom when I saw Hideo with his back turned putting on his shirt.

My eyes widened as I saw evidence of his abuse. There were purple, blue and green bruises all over his body. Some bigger than others. I gulped and couldn't help but stare. I flinched when he turned around to see me looking at him. His eyes were wide but quickly went to a glare.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." I said quickly averting my eyes. We stood there in silence and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Did you see it?" I hesitantly nodded. He pointed to his chest. "I got these from working hard. We'll see if you're anywhere near my level." He made sure to bump my shoulder as he walked past me.

I sighed before walking into the bathroom and changing my clothes. I wore a white t-shirt and black shorts. When I walked out I met up with Kaoru and Tamaki. We gave each other a smile trying to forget about the awkward exchange earlier.

"Alright whose ready to get to work?" The blond said in an enthusiastic tone.

"Me?" I said.

He pointed to me. "That's right you! So let's go!" Tamaki basically dragged me out onto the track. I looked out to see that all the teams were here. Some looked anxious others seemed excited. I glanced out over the bleachers to see Mistukuni waving to me wildly with a flowery air around him.

"Hey K-chan~!" Everyone turned to me and I shrunk a bit with a blush.

I waved back. I guess I'll talk to him later.

"He's here to make it up to you Kristy." I turned to see Stephanie standing next to me with the same grin she had yesterday.

My face went red. "I'm going to get you this time."

"Are you sure?" She taunted. I chased after down the track. "I thought you were going to get me!" She yelled.

"Oh you are dead!" I answered. I picked up speed, widening my stride and moving my legs faster. Stephanie was an excellent runner but I was determined to get her. My smile widened as she started to slow down. I was gaining on her one meter at a time. I then jumped at her and stretched out my arms taking us both off the track.

"Got you!" We tumbled into the grass.

"It's not fair. Your taller than I am."

"Then don't say things that make me chase you." She pouted a bit before we realized everyone was looking at us. "What?

"That was amazing!" Tamaki said.

"What...did we do?" Stephanie asked in breathless tone.

"You ran two laps around this entire track barely slowing down at all." Kaoru said.

"In fact I think you sped up at the end Kris." Hikaru said.

"Oh..." I rubbed my neck breathing hard. "T-Thanks. I was just trying to catch my sister..."

"We could definitely win with you guys on our team!" Kyo said.

"No way! Red team has track runners!."

"Blue team all the way!"

With this everyone starting moving toward the track seeming more motivated to run this time. Stephanie stood up and pulled me with her. Her chest was heaving in and out.

"Do you...want to go...again?"

"I think...you wore me out Steph's." I put my hands on my knees.

"Would you like me to call Honey to help you?" I looked up to her as she turned to the bleachers. "Hone-" I covered her mouth.

"Let's go." Stephanie grinned in victory as she looked over to see Hideo walking pasted them with a furious look on his face. She narrowed her eyes and glanced over to Kyoya who seemed to notice the same thing.

*After pratice*

I. Am. Tired.

I don't think I've worked out this much in a while, so I guess it's good for me. I unraveled my braid as sweat fell down my fore head. I wiped it with the back of my hand.

"I need a shower." I said with a sigh. I certainly wasn't going to take one here considering my circumstance. So I would just have to hurry home and get clean. Because now I just want to go to sleep and I won't do that while I'm dirty. I put a hand on my neck and rolled my shoulders.

I'm glad that Mitsukuni is here today, but the down side is I'm all sweaty and I wasn't going to make contact with him like this. So I guess I'll just say hi to him and Mori.

I walked out of the locker-room to see the twins walking by. "See you guys tomorrow." I said.

"Bye." They said.

"Oh and Kaoru!" They turned around. "...you know..." It seemed he knew what I was referring to.

He smile seemed to be saying 'it's fine.' I'm glad we were okay after that awkward encounter in the hallway. I'm sure that he didn't like me anymore. I mean it's been quite a few months since then, but I didn't want to bring up anything uncomfortable it just sort of came out. Kaoru really was one of my best friends and I didn't want to lose him so I just blurted it out.

I love you

Which now that I think about it is probably the truth. Not in a romantic way of course...whatever I just need to stop thinking about it. I shook my head and turned the corner when I suddenly bumped into something and tripped. I stopped myself from completely hitting the ground with my hands. I smacked my knee on the ground I hissed. "Ow."

"Oh K-chan if this is what you wanted you should have said something before." My eyes burst open at the voice underneath me. Mistukuni was laying on the ground under me!

My face went red and I wasn't sure what to say. "O-Oh I didn't mean to do this!" I tried to get up but he put his arms around my neck pulling me closer.

"That's okay I don't mind if it was an accident." He smiled with a flowery air around him. He turned his head. "I missed you yesterday."

"Yeah..." I turned my head. How can he talk so casually as if we aren't in an inappropriate position right now!

What is the universe trying to say to me?!

More importantly what is Mistukuni trying to do to me?!

"K-chan I already said that I won't do anything you don't want me to." I looked up into his eyes. I suddenly thought about what Stephanie had tried to suggest to me.

He can make it up to you.

I shook my head. Curse you Stephanie. At that moment where ever my sister was, she shivered. "I just got finished with practice and I'm really sweaty. So I probably-no I know I stink so I'm going to get up-"

"No you don't. K-chan smells good."

I raised my brow. "Does your nose work?"

He puffed out his cheeks. "Yes, and so does my mouth."

I blushed at what he was insinuating. "Seriously Mitsukuni I feel gross and need to take a shower. I usually take one after practice, but the boys were in there and I could risk it so..."

He stared up at me with a childish pout.

He can make it up to you.

Quit it brain!

Come on, you know you wanna~

I bit my lip. "Only one."

He smiled at me brightly. "Okay."

I slowly moved down to him when I heard foot steps come up beside me. "I see..." We turned to see Mori standing there. My mouth fell open. He was expressionless though the only thing to show he was embarrassed was the blush on his cheeks. "I'll leave you two...alone.." He walked away.

"No Mori wait it's not what it looks like!"

It's exactly what it looks like.

I said shut up!

I tried to get up to stop him, but Mistukuni flipped me over and I realized I was under him.

"What are you doing? We have to tell him this is a misunderstanding!"

He tilted his head. "But K-chan this is exactly what it looks like." His innocent tone betrayed the situation.

Ha, told ya!

Stop talking!

"B-But you!"

"It's only a kiss K-chan you said I could."

What about everything else that's happening now?!

Just enjoy it~

I thought you were gone!

Well you thought wrong!

"F-Fine." I mumbled.

"Yay!" He cheered before he bent down putting his lips on mine. I expected it to end right there, but it didn't. Apparently he was trying to deep the kiss and I was being stubborn. One kiss that was all and he was turning it into a full on make out. No, I wouldn't give in. I was stronger than that wasn't I?

He put is hands to my sides and squeezed them as I let out a snorted laugh.

Dang it!

Ha!

What is wrong with you!

We've already gone over this I'm you. Your me. This is what you want girl so take it!

...

He turned his head to the side kissed me slower. I guess I wasn't strong enough. In fact I'm nowhere near it apparently. He pulled my face closer to his as I started to follow his lead. Though I had no clue about what I was doing. He smiled into our his at my attempt. Making me blush. When we separated I almost didn't even realize he had licked my lip.

"That was fun!" He said. I cover my face. Mistukuni hugged me with a giggle. "K-chan you're so cute when your embarrassed!"

"You never get embarrassed." I mumbled. He blinked.

"Sure I do." He said. I looked at him unconvinced. "I do." He insisted. "You just can't tell."

"Yeah right." I sat against the wall and crossed my arms.

"You don't believe me?" He asked.

I turned away from him. "No." I was being childish, but I've never seen it. All this time we've been together I have not once seen him blush out of pure embarrassment. I glanced over when I saw him crawl in front of me leaning on my knees.

"You really don't believe me?" He asked with wide eyes. I nodded. "Do you want me to tell you what flusters me?"

"You'd do that?" I asked.

"This is only something I'll share with K-chan so listen closely." I scooted closer. I wanted to hear this. "Whenever you put your hair down it makes me think things... And I think about how you would look in a more revealing bathing suit that too. Oh and when ever we dress up in cosplay I-"

I waved my hands to stop him. "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

"What?"

"Those are all things about me..." I said with a blush.

"You fluster me, K-chan." He turned around and picked up his bunny rabbit when I noticed that his ears were completely red.

I never noticed that before. I guess I never paid attention to that before. I smiled to myself. "Mitsukuni." He turned to me. I kissed his ear. "Thanks for tell me. I'll keep that in mind." I grinned at him and the blush in his ears slowly went to his face. Well not the swim suit I was never going to do that.

His expression caused me the to burst out laughing. "K-chan it's not funny."

"Your right. Your right." I glanced at his face again before I snorted.

"K-chan!"

"I'm s-sorry hahaha!"

"No you're not!"

*Break*

Hideo walked down the hall with a glare on his face and his lackeys right behind him. "I won't let him win I won't, I won't."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"Yeah what are you gonna do?"

He stopped completely and turned back to them. "Destroy him of course. Commoners like him don't deserve the where he is." He growled. " Mean while I can't even get have the respect he has and I have the money." He muttered darkly.

Th boys looked at each other in silence.

He held his aching stomach before pointing to the other boys. "You two are going to help me bring that guy back where he should be. Permanently."
