Therefore, Hello

"Do you like Mind Games, Tsukasa?"

Hello to love. Hello to hope. Hello to a fresh start, to feeling like a princess whose prince is everything anyone could ever ask for.

"You WHORE!" Mitsuba hissed.

And 'Hello' to Mitsuba being a pain in my ass.

"Hey! I'm not no hoe!" Hanako objected putting his hand up. Mitsuba slapped his face as Kou turned his hands into an X, as if to tell Mitsuba to stop.

Mitsuba: "Not you dumbass, the fatass thot you just slept with!"

Tsukasa: *Holding up a knife* "You might wanna watch who you throw insults at,"

Kou: "How did you even get clothes on that fast, I literally blinked for half a second!"

Mitsuba: "Shut up Kou, you're breaking the fourth wall!"

Kou: "What?"

Yashiro: *Uncomfortably putting clothes back on*

Kou and Mitsuba jumped as Hanako tapped Mitsuba's chin with the knife; "Alright Mitsuba, the next things that are gonna come out are mouth are gonna be an apology and an explanation!" Hanako sung with dark eyes.

'Hello' to possibly being exposed.

I covered my mouth feeling anxiety fill my chest. If Hanako-san finds out that me and Tsukasa were a thing- would he hate me? It's not fair. I wanted to break up with Tsukasa and make things right before I even told Hanako the truth.

Kou could see the fear in my eyes, "Why the hell would I apologize when"-

Kou was quick to cover Mitsuba's mouth, "HHMMMHDBDJHSEFHJEVWELEBBJK!" Mitsuba yelled in muffled sounds between Kou's fingers.

Kou: "I-It's just that- uh, well; he found out that you like Yashiro- s-so he was gonna hurt her!"

Hanako: *Gasped and looks at Yashiro*

Kou: "Y-yeah, Mitsuba's just being a jackass again! D-Don't mind him! Oh- ah, it's kinda late so Yashiro and I should be getting home! Right Yashiro?!"

Hello to Kou the life saver!

I nodded my head shyly, "Y-Yeah, I need to get home or my mom will be worried about me," I muttered nervously as Kou whispered something in Mitsuba's ears before letting him go.

"Will you be ok, Yashiro?" Amane asked in a kind but worried tone. I blushed nodding my head, Hanako smiled as he stroked my cheek. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Tsukasa," he promised before kissing me.

Kou shrugged his head, making Mitsuba even more aggravated by the sight of his lover's subconscious jealousy.

"Kou," Hanako said turning his head to the blonde haired boy. "Yeah, I'll make sure she gets home safe." He stated standing up straight, "Mission protect Yashiro at all cost has begun!" They both yelled bumping fist together.

Hello to team work.

I turned my head, giggling at their solider-like determiner as Hanako disappeared. Mitsuba bit his lip, grabbing his arm in anger.

Mitsuba: "So we're just not going to tell him you're dating Tsukasa?"

Kou: "Mitsuba!"

Mitsuba: "What? Why are you protecting her?! She dug her own grave on this one!"

Kou: "Are you kidding me Mitsuba?! You know Tsukasa, better than either of us do; so stop acting like all of this isn't his fault! Yashiro's just another one of his victims,"

Mitsuba: "You're so wrong it's stupid. Yashiro was screwing Tsukasa cause she wanted to and she only has that STUPID-DUMB scared look on her face because the fat bitch got caught! Don't be too nice, or she'll open her legs for you too and you'll be another loser crossed off on her to do list!"

Kou: *With serious angry eyes* "Insult me if you want, but if you call Yashiro by any name other then her own; I'll never talk to you again, Mitsuba."

Yashiro: *Gasp covering mouth with one hand*

Mitsuba stumbled backwards, biting his lip as he became overwhelmed with frustration- overfilled with jealousy. "Y-You! You just don't understand you idiot!"

Kou: "Maybe I don't, but it definitely isn't my place to judge. And it's not yours either."

Mitsuba looked down as he closed his fist; for once; he was at a complete lost for words. Kou shrugged, "Let's go Yashiro, you should go to the bathroom before we leave," Kou sighed.

Mitsuba's head shot up, "You feel hot," he said placing the back of his hand on my forehead.

"You should probably put your head under cold water so you don't get dizzy on our way home," he advised. I nodded my head before hiding behind him to hide the dark gaze of Mitsuba's eye.

Looking back at him only as I existed the door, why did he look so angry? I didn't have the energy to try and figure it out.

Today, I've gone through so much.

I closed my eyes, washing my face with cold water in the sink of the girls bathroom, "Ah, my head feels like it's spinning," I whispered. "Yeah, well, it beats how my head is feeling,"

That voice.

I gasped as jumping up, turning as my eyes opened wide, "Kinda feels like it got bashed in with a bat. You wouldn't know anything about that would you?" Sakura asked covered in blood.

"Sakura?" I muttered in awe. "In the flesh." She said opening her arms.

I took a step back.

Yashiro: "B-But. I thought you were"-

Sakura: "Dead? Obviously,"

Yashiro: "I-I,"

Sakura: "You what? You're sorry for bashing me over the head until my skull caved in and I died? It's a little late for that now, but thanks. The thought really, really is nice,"

Yashiro: "I… I thought Tsukasa buried you,"

Sakura: *Scoffs before throwing her head back and laughing* "Why, do you think just because you were fucking him, he'd clean up your mess?" *Starts walking toward Yashiro*

Fear.

"Or, maybe it was his brother you were sleeping with? I can't really keep up with all the back and forth," She smiled walking closer as she looked at her nails.

This is fear at its core.

She cocked her head looking up at me, "What? You're acting like you've never seen a ghost before?" She huffed. My body shivered and trembled, I was so scared I couldn't move. Sakura sighed rolling her eyes, brushing her hair back behind her ear. x

Blood.

I gasped as brain matter fell from her head, "Oh, don't worry; that happens sometimes. What you should be worried about is how you're going to make up for bashing my head; do you even know how much it cost to have your skull redone these days?" She complained folding her arms.

"This can't, t-this can't be real- Kou, Kou!" I yelled holding onto the sink as she stepped even closer. "Kou! Oh Kou! Save me, save me please; please- save me!" Sakura cried mimicking me.

Sakura sat up as I sobbed, pushing myself up against the wall as she held up a familiar blood stained bat, "This whole damsel-in-distress thing you've got going on is a bit out of date: plus, it's super annoying," Sakura sighed mocking me evilly.

"Kou can't save you from yourself Yashiro, no one can," She smiled holding back the bat. "KOU!" I screamed closing my eyes as she lunged, launching the weapon toward my head.

"Yashiro! What's going on?!" Kou asked in eager confusion as he held up his staff. I fell to my knees, panting as I cried- my life flashed before my eyes.

"Oh, it's just you in here; why'd you freak out like that?" he asked turning off the water running in the sink. Just me? I looked around. "B-But," I whispered as my tears stopped.

Hello to going bat shit crazy.

I flinched as Kou brushed a paper towel against my face, "O-Oh, sorry; I didn't mean to startle you… I know you've probably had the worst day ever," he apologized sitting beside me. I looked down in shame as my eyes filled with tears.

"O-Oh no- b-but it wasn't a totally bad day! I-I mean you kinda got together with Hanako; I-I guess that's cool right?" He panicked scratching his head. Hanako-san. I stared at Kou, taking comfort in his goofy expression; I smiled before wiping my eyes.

Hello to good friends.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I exhaled feeling my body relax. "Here," Kou smiled giving me the paper towel, I nodded my head as a thanks, then wiped my face from the cool water.

"A-And I don't think any differently of you- with the whole Hanako and Tsukasa thing. I'm sure that jerk Tsukasa took advantage of you. So don't feel bad about anything, you hear me?!" he huffed with grabbing my shoulders.

"O-Oh, right!" I said nodding my head flustered. "S-Sorry!" he blushed letting me go and turning away. "I promise… I promise not to tell Hanako, I'm sure it'd be best if you tell him when your ready. A-And you shouldn't worry about it, he knows his brother better then anyone, he'll understand that someone as sweet and kind hearted as you could never do anything bad." He explained.

Hello to best friends.

I closed my eyes, laying my head on Kou's shoulder; making him jolt shyly feeling the warmth of my body against his. He took my mind away from what I didn't want to think about, Kou's truly the greatest friend a girl could ever have.

"Thanks Kou," I smiled feeling at ease. Kou smiled softly, feeling a tender pain in his heart ache before setting his head on top of mines. "Anytime. I'm always here when you need me, Yashiro,"
