Ever since you were a child your father hated you. He hated that you were a girl. He hated that your hair was long and shiny. He hated how fragile you were. He never wanted you in the first place.  Your father always wanted a boy, a boy that could fight, was masculine- a real boy.
So he started to treat you like one. Every two months he would cut your hair short, never let you wear any type of skirts or dresses and once you hit puberty you would be forced to strap your chest to flatten your chest. You never got those shiny and lovely dolls on your birthdays instead all you would get was a plain shirt or a short. Your mother couldn't bear his obsessions and eventually left going somewhere abroad to marry another man. You never heard of her ever since. She never responded to your calls or letters leaving you all alone by yourself with no friends no mother or a loving father.
As time passed your father slowly started to lose his health and got hospitalized leaving you and the house behind but that caused another problem. Debts. Because of his hospital bills he started to run out of money in time leaving no other choice to sell your only home. Thats what brought you where you are today. Sleeping in banks and tunnels feeding off on instant noodles constantly. You had no friends to ask for help too since your father forbitted you from making friends. Well noone wanted to be your friend anyways, most people think youre a boy untill you start to speak.  Its not like you needed a friend either.

A yawn escaped from your mouth as you stretched while wandering around the streets. Why is it always so boring around here for gods sake. Its like everyone is sitting in their houses all day while sipping tea.
A loud shriek caught your attention causing you to walk towards the sound quickly.
'It sounded like a girls scream' You thought. Was she in danger?
Your eyes widened once you saw the scene as you quickly hid behind the wall.
Four highschool boys were assualting the girl that had her face covered in blood. You gritted your teeth, you couldnt just stand and watch.
Without thinking you grabbed a rock and threw it over there hitting one of the boys bead.
"Get off the girl now! I am calling the police on you pigs."
Blood dripped from the bald guys head like raindrops. The boy with the slicked back hair walked towards you his veins almost popping out from his forehead out of anger.
"Eh?! Who the fuck do you think you are huh? Are you looking for a beating you brat!"
He shoved you to the ground roughly your back hitting a trash can as you yelped in pain.
Before you could even gather the strength to get up his hand snatched your hair pulling it towards him. It felt like your head was going to rip off your neck.
Your squezzed shut eyes opened when the pain suddenly went away.
"What do you think you guys are doing."
A calm voice echoed in your head and you looked up to see what happened.
The guy that was yanking your head just a moment ago was bowing down to a boy with long blonde hair now.
"S-Sir! What are you doing here?"
You looked at them confused. 'Sir'? Who is he?
"Shut the hell up if you dont want to die."
This time a very tall boy with tatoos spoke kicking the other guy in the stomach. The blonde guy kept walking towards you unfazed.
A hand appeared in front of you offering to help you up. You tilted your head towards the boy and with the most disgusted face you could ever make you slapped his hand away.
"I do not need any help from the kinds of you. All of you disgust me."
You spat at him with pure anger while getting up. The girl from before was still laying on the floor unconcious. The blonde boy remained silent as he contunied staring at you with a blank face.
For some reason the way he didnt react at all made you even more angry and without knowing it you punched him in his face.
"You all are disgusting! All you all ever do is hurt people!"
Another punch then another till you started to lose count. The boy nor did react or say anything just standing like a statue in front of you.
"Ah. You got it wrong though. My gang do not hurt innocent people."
He finally spoke still not taking his blank eyes off you even for a second. Your jaw dropped at his words
So...did I just punch an innocent guy several times?!
You backed away from him in regret and bowed down.
"I am so sorry! Please forgive me I...I thought that..!"
In panic you tried to form a proper sentence not being able to look at his face from the shame you were feeling.
A gentle pair of hands cupped your face making you form eye contact with the petite blonde boy once again.
"It's alright youre forgiven."
He said with a faint smile. You let out a relieved sigh relaxing yourself at last.
"Kenchi drop the girl to her house."
The tall guy nodded in response walking towards you.
You gulped and hesistantly looked towards him.
"Well...I actually don't have a house..."
The atmosphere went silent instantly everyone just staring at you in shock.
"Where do you sleep in then?"
The tall guy asked.
"Mostly parks,benches and sometimes motels when i have the money."
You responsed. The blonde boy stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Then you can spend the night in my place."
Your face paled in pure shock staring at him with awe.
Has he lost his mind?! Inviting a stranger to his house!!?
Looking at the other members reactions it seemed like they werent expecting that either from him.
Draken cleared his throat ready to object.
"Mikey! You can't just invite a stranger to your house! We met her just now!"
Mikey? So that was his name huh. 
"Thank you for your concern but its my decision."
Mikey responded a hint of annoyence hiding in his tone.
"Ahem. T-thank you for your offer but I'm fine"
You finally broke your silence drawing the blondes attention to you again.
He looked at you like you just said the most strange thing he has ever heard.
"Do you have a death wish?"
You looked at him confused and he must have realized that so he explained.
"You really think that those guys wont come after you once we leave? If you want them to continue what they were doing then suit yourself."
Drops of sweat formed in your forehead.
Of course you didnt wanted to get hurt. Even though you didnt want to spend the night in a gang members house you had no other choice.
"Okay. I accept your offer."
He flashed a pleasant smile at you.
"Alright then. Hop in."
He got on his motorcycle signaling you to also get in.
You nervously glanced at the bike then at Mikey. He sighed and patted the seat.
"Come on. I won't drive too fast."
You huffed in defeat and hopped in the back.
"Hold on to me thight."
You hesistantly placed your arms around him trying to ignore your heart beating like crazy.
You never were familiar with any type of physical contact with boys so even simple things made you uneasy.
The loud roar of the bike snapped you out of your thoughts and the wind hitting your face
