Chapter Twelve

             "Aimi!" Ryu shouted running after me. Giggling I kept running until I fell cutting up my hands and knees. Tears found my eyes as I dusted off the pebbles and dirt from my wounds. "Are you okay?" Ryu questioned kneeling next to me. "Ryu," I cried looking over at him.
           "Come here,"  He spoke opening his arms. Slowly I wrapped myself around him. Crying into his shoulder as he stood us up, his arms wrapping tightly around me. "You need to be more careful," He whispered.
          "I'm sorry, I won't do it again," I whispered clinging to him. Sighing he walked us into his room sitting me down at his desk, while he disappeared into the bathroom. Coming back with his first-aid kit kneeling in front of me.
          "Let me see your hands," He whispered. Quickly I held them out watching him gently clean them. Wincing slightly when he hit a tender area getting a soft sorry from him in return. Gently he bandaged them before moving onto my knees.
           "There all done, now be careful please. I can't have my future wife getting hurt now," He spoke ruffling my hair. "Are you upset with me?" I questioned softly. "I could never be upset with you darling. Why do you ask?" He questioned while wiping my tears away.
           "Cause anytime I get hurt dad takes his anger over it out on mom. He's been taken it out on me more now though that mom's pregnant," I stated looking down at the floor. "Is he hurting you?" He questioned softly. Biting my lip I nodded as more tears left my eyes.
          "Give me a few minutes okay and I'll be right back," He spoke before leaving the room. Coming back after a few minutes with a sucker for me. "This should cheer you up," He spoke holding it out to me. Smiling up at him I took it popping it in my mouth. "Thank you!" I exclaimed causing him to chuckle at me.
~~~~~

      "Dad I'm sorry! Please don't hurt mom she's having a baby!" I cried shielding mom's body with my own. Slap, Slap, Slap. Was the only response I got from dad. My face hot and stinging from the hits I took. Hit tears running down my face causing him to hit me more.
       "I'm sorry," I cried out hoping he'd listen. "HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF MY DAUGHTER WHEN YOUR SO CLUELESS AND CLUMSY!" He screamed throwing my hits at me. Choking back my tears I laid there taking every hit he gave. Better me than mom, I don't want her or my brother hurt.
        Once he was done he stormed out of the room allowing me the chance to stumble to my feet. Slowly making my way up the stairs into my room. Slowly heading into my bathroom cleaning myself up before changing clothes.
         Curling up in bed silently crying myself to sleep that night. What did I do so wrong? I'm just a kid what did I do to deserve this?
~~~~~~

          "Bye Kenjiro-san, Aimi-chan," Kuze-san called as we were leaving. Looking back at him and Ryu sighing before running back over to Ryu. Giving him a big hug causing him to immediately wrap his arms around me. "Remember I'll keep you safe always," He whispered just loud enough for me to hear while slipping a necklace into my pocket.
          Nodding I pulled away looking up at him before waving to both of them. "Bye!" I called while running back to dad. Quickly getting in the car watching them disappear as we drove away. Sighing I turned around in my seat watching the road while slipping the necklace Ryu gave me on. Smiling seeing a small ring dangling from it.
          After a few minutes a scream rippled through me as I was tossed about my head hitting something hard, causing everything to fade.
         Waking up I was in the hospital with mom by my side crying. "Mom," I whispered drawing her attention. "Aimi," She cried holding my hand. "What happened?" I whispered looking around. "You were in an accident with Dad. Don't worry he's okay," She spoke.
          Getting up leaving the room coming back with a doctor. "Do you remember what happened?" The doctor questioned. "I don't remember anything," I whispered. "I'll take her for an examine," He spoke taking me away with some nurses.

            "Hiroto! Get over here! Give it back!" I shouted chasing after him. Laughing he kept running from me while the other two stood to the side laughing at us. "Bastard," I huffed stopping in my tracks. Training my eyes on him as he kept running.
           Carefully following his steps before smirking. Quickly I took off again matching his steps while catching up to him. Going off to the side pushing myself to go faster before passing him. Turning around running right at him, colliding into him before either of us could react properly.
            "Hiroto! Aimi!" The other two shouted running over to us. "Are you okay?" Masaki questioned helping me up while Takeru helped Hiroto. Shaking my head and breathing heavy stumbling a bit, causing Takeru to reach out balancing me.
            "Why are you built like a rock," I whined playfully glaring at Hiroto. "Why are you built like a bunny," He retorted. Huffing I rubbed my head looking up at Takeru who shook his head while chuckling.
            "Hiroto give it to me," Takeru spoke holding out his hand. Huffing Hiroto handed over the necklace that I always had on me. Takeru gently putting it on me before picking me up. Throwing me over his shoulder carrying me back towards their house.
           Soon the four of us were inside in the kitchen. Masaki and Hiroto sitting at the table while Takeru sat me on the counter. Sitting there watching him go around pulling things out, before starting to make food and milkshakes.
            Chuckling once I saw he wasn't touching anything dangerous. Quickly slipping off the counter before jumping up onto Takeru's back causing him to glance back at me. "What are you doing?" He questioned flashing me a smile. "Watching and getting comfy," I chuckled.
            "My back is comfortable?" He mused with an arched brow. "Yeah," I chuckled. "I think she likes you Takeru," Masaki called over causing my face to flush red. "We're just best friends!" I called over while sliding off his back.
          Walking back leaning against the counter while pulling out my phone. My smile dropping immediately when I saw a message on my phone. Swallowing hard while opening the message from Dai, the boy at school that was obsessed with me. The boy that managed to use everything against me.
         Dai: Princess remember what tonight it don't take to long to get here. You know what'll happen if you keep me waiting. 16:30
