Chizuka Hanamura's POV:

My heart is still pounding as I press my back against the door. There is no way in hell I'm moving away from there. There are too many of those guys from the University Of Iwatobi wandering around. What I really don't want to do is get my second cousin's coffee house trashed. And more importantly, I don't want myself or my friends to get hurt over some pathetic over dramatized feud between two local universities.

I can see our nre employee. He seems uneasy too; Ryugazaki Rei's jaw has been hanging open.

"Hana-chan?" Tachibana Makoto asks, poking his head out from around the corner, emerald green eyes remorseful, and e seems to be relatively eager to approach, yet also appears to be wary and cautious. . "Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine, Mako-chan." I say between gasps of air. I need a drink or something, Maybe Rei-kun will make me something to drink...

"I don't see anybody coming." Nanase Haruka states flatly.

"That was a dirty trick!" Nagi-chan declares, rubbing his sore scalp.

"You would be far sorer if you were left on their territory." My blond friend flinches. Makoto shudders. I know for a fact that he's seen some of his classmates be beaten to such an extent that they've been bedbound for over two weeks.

"I wasn't talking about my hair Hana-chan." Nagisa states through gritted teeth.

"Uhh..." Ryugazaki Rei-kun doesn't seem to know what to do. But he does seem to be making drinks. "Does this happen a lot?"

"Not really...not to this is more extreme than normal." Mako-chan states. "I've never seen them do something so elaborate."

"Nor have I." Haru nods, still peering out of the window. He's mad. You can tell. His eyes are harder and therefore less vacant.

Rei-kun comes over with milkshakes and hands them to us. After a few sips of mine, I turn to Haru.

"Are they coming?" I ask, my heart's beating like I'm running a freaking marathon.

"Not from what I can see..." Haru replies.

"You can move away from the door now." Mako-chan smiles, holding his hands out to us.

"Right...um..now what?" Rei-kun asks.

"I don't know..." I sigh, staring out of the window theatrically yet wistfully.

Matsuoka Kou's POV:
I don't think I've ever been so sure that my jaw might have dislocated as I have been right now. What the hell just happened? Did those older kids really go out of their way to try and hurt Hazuki Nagisa, to beat him up? To sexually assault Chiz? They looked devious enough to maybe go all out and rape her/!

Okay, I might be overstating this now...But regardless of my overstatements, it was really scary! Honestly, I doubt that anybody would dispute the fear that was coursing through my veins as I watched the scene unfold. I shudder, tightening my grip on my school bag; I feared for my friends safety! I don't think I've ever wished to be a guy more than I had when I saw that pink haired guy, Shignio-senpai push my best friend up into his chest. I wanted to hit him. To hurt him. To get him off of her!...AND ONII-CHAN DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

"Gou..." Onii-chan says quietly as we head homeward. I look away from my older brother, not wanting anything to do with him right now.

"Gou..." Yamazaki Sousuke tries to give it a go.

"No..." I trail off, making fists.

"I get that you're angry, Gou." The taller guy puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Angry?!?" my voice cracks, I sou. "I'm hurt!"

Was that...was that a clap of thunder? I glance up at the sky. The heavens look ready to burst. The sky is similar to ink in colour. It's still warm, but the air is heavy. It's more humid than it is hot. Maybe we are due a thunderstorm. God, I hope not, we're not home yet! This is what we get for lurking and going to the border instead of straight home!

"I under-"

"No you don't! You don't get it! I had to watch two of my best friends from middle school nearly get seriously hurt because I crossed over to talk to them!"

"Don't worry about it being your fault. It's not your fault! It's just the way things have happened."

"Well it needs to stop!" I stomp my foot.

"That's easier said than done, Gou." Onii-chan states, voice slightly strained. He had friends that aren't being educated at the Community College. He's lost friends too, friends that those at his school would not allow.

"C'mon, Gou, it looks like its going to ran, get under my jacket." Sousuke holds up his large light-wash denim jacket so that I can have some sort of shield from the rain.

Seems my older brother's best friend also spotted how likely it is that the heavens will open and drench us. Not that a thin denim jacket will provide us with very much shelter from torrential rain, but that's not the point; it's the thought that matters, right?

"Thank you, Sousuke-kun!" I smile sweetly as we draw nearer to home. Despite the kind and forgiving façade, I'm not amused. First the protection from our aggressive schoolmates and now even more from the freaking weather!

Onii-chan pulls up his hood and continues moving forward, ignoring me. I wouldn't be surprised if he has put his headphones in to tune me out. I guess that I understand how annoying I must be; how whiney I must appear to be.

This'll be unpleasant. Going home; going to the house where walls are thin so Onii-chan and Sousuke-kun will hear me if I let out my anger. How the hell could those older kids be so monstrous! How! If Nagi-chan and Chiz were being deviant and kicking up a fuss on their territory, then I would understand. I really would, but not in this instance.

Sousuke-kun holds the jacket over me more than himself, not really that fussed about it until he comes into the house and realises we own nothing big enough for him to wear, except maybe one of Onii-chan's tank tops...which would really accentuate his prominent arm muscles and broad shoulders.

"I'll get you something to wear, Sousuke-kun!" I chime, running upstairs and grabbing a white tank top from Onii-chan's closet.
