Always Protected

9

Walking out of the apartment there sat four motorcycles. Each of them with the symbol that was on the guys jacket the usually wear. She thought to herself they much belong to the guys. She stood in thought as they all got on the bikes. "You coming?" Chifuyu asked with a hand stretched out to her. She took it and he told her how she would need to sit on it and wrap her arms around him to keep her on. She did has he had told and told him the place she was buried at. He knew the way and had instructed everyone to follow him. Before they had taken off Chifuyu hands Rain his helmet.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I'll be fine." He shines his smile at her and pop the helmet on her head.

He revved the engine and soon took off. She watched in amazement as the world flashed by her in seconds. She had always thought riding on one would be terrifying but soon came to realize just how peaceful it seemed. In no time there were at the spot seeming how it was only a ten minute walk from the apartment it seemed like nothing on a vehicle.

Everyone killed their engines and gotten off the bikes. "She is this way." She started walking to the grave with all four guys following behind.

Her mother was buried next to a tree that shaded her grave. It was a nice day with a soft breeze blowing. The temperature wasn't to bad considering it's getting into summer. She sat down and patted the concrete for the boys to follow her lead.

They all sat down around the grave and she looked at the stone structure. "Mom I want you to meet my friends." A smile laid on her face. She went through and introduced them to the grave. After finishing with the names tears started to fall. She couldn't hold them in as she turned to look at them. "She would have loved you all." Was all she could get out before tears fell heavy down her face.

Draken and Baji stood and walked behind her and placed hands on each shoulder. Mikey and Chifuyu sat at her side each holding her hands. They wanted to make sure she knew they was there. Yes she hadn't known them long but she felt as if they was her family.

After a few minutes she was able to compose herself down to sniffles. No words she could say how much it meant to her that them being here was important to her. She had always visited alone, not even her father would come. At least he never came with her. She doesn't even know if he cared enough to learn where his wife is buried.

After she had calmed they sat around and talked about how her mother was. She told them about her being a doctor and how she had a gentle soul. She care for everyone even complete strangers. She told them many stories about how she lived her life and was as a person.

After a couple hours of talking Rain decided it was time to go. The feeling that if she didn't leave now something would happen rested on her shoulders. "Good bye mom ill come back soon." She smiles and places a soft kiss on the stone.

Before she stood up a hand was given to her and she looked up to see Baji o. The other side. He helped her stand and the five walked away from the grave. She couldn't help herself as she turned to look at it again.

She felt a light tap on her head and turned to see Draken standing here. His hand in a fist and his hand resting on her head. "We'll come back." He had a soft smile trying to reassure her.

"We?" She asked with a questioning look.

"Your not in this alone any more." Baji answered.

"You've got all of us now." Mikey chimed in behind Baji.

"Yep your our girl." Chifuyu smiled with his follow up.

She felt her eyes tear up for a second time for the day. "No more crying." Baji groaned tossing his head back.

"Sorry." She smiled clearing her face of the tears.

Everyone laughed a little before continuing to the exit. Who was standing there made Rain instantly freeze. He looked a mess and clearly could tell he had beed drinking. At the entrance of the grave site stood her father trying to stumble his way into the site.

It was clear he had not had a shower sense he left the apartment. "Slut." He grumbled as he passed her.

"What was that?" Draken asked ready to fight the man.

"Who are you to say anything!" Chifuyu shot at him.

"Running around with all these dicks swinging around. Bet you done had them all in bed by this point." Her father smirked.

"Say that again." Mikey joined in.

Baji clearly was to angry to be able to form a word. All the guys stood behind Rain ready to defend her. "Let's just leave." She said sadly.

"He can get away with this!" Drakens eyes never stopped shooting daggers at the drunk.

"Please." She begged turning to her friends.

Angrily they all left and gotten on the bikes. She rode on the bike with Chifuyu again but had asked if they could stop at a shop where she could get something. All of them agreed and made it to the store.

She told them to stay outside while she went inside. They all hung around while they waited on her. After a few minutes she walked out with four small white boxes. She passed the boxes around and when they all had one she told them to open the boxes.

Inside of the boxes as a single key. The boys looked at eachother confused then at Rain herself. "It's for my place." She answered their unasked question, "If you all are going to continue to come over like you do might as well have a key to the place."

Instantly all the guys put the keys on each of their key ring. She went up and hugged each one telling them thank you for the day. How she didn't know if she could do it alone and was happy to have them at her side.

Draken looked at her, "So let me ask you again. Is this a life you could be proud of?"

She thought for a second before answering the question, "Yes I can be."
