Beyond The Boundary

Always By Your Side

A lot of days passed by.

[SHINOA'S POV]

Days have passed but Rin is still not coming to school, i'm really getting worried about him.

*ring* *ring*

The bell rang and we went back to our seats but Rin's chair was still empty, i'm really worried about him.

Our Math teacher, Miss Sakura went to our class to teach.

"Ok class good morning"

"Good morning Miss Sakura" We greeted.

"So Rin's still absent" she said.

"Well lets have class"

I sat there listening to Miss Sakura but I kept looking at Rin's chair.

After 2 hours.

*ring* *ring*

The bell rang and we went outside to go to our next subject.

"I noticed you kept looking at Rin's chair haha missing him?" Miss Sakura teased me.

"No! Of course not" I declined.

"Why are you blushing then? Hahaha"

She kept teasing me and I blushed so red like a tomato.

"Why don't you visit him later Shinoa?"

"Ummm, is it okay?"

"Of course! I think he just needs to be comforted"

"Oh, ok I'll go"

"Yieeeeee you like Rin!" She teased.

"Shut up!"

"Haha its written all over your face, anyway I'll head back to the faculty! See you Shinoa!"

Miss Sakura left and I went inside the classroom and took my seat.

So hours passed and it was the end of school.

I saw Miss Sakura.

"Shinoaaaa!" She shouted.

"What?"

"I'd like you to give this to Rin"

It was a box of candy.

"Why a box of candy?" I asked.

"He likes candy haha"

"Okaaaaay, I'll be going now"

"Sure, take care of Rin" She said with a smile on her face.

I left and went outside to go to Rin's apartment.

"Hmmm I think I should buy some dinner for him" I told myself.

I went to the store and bought some cup noodles and went to the apartment.

His door was locked and I kept knocking.

"Rin! Rin!" I called.

No one answered, I went to the window and saw it was open, I climbed it.

When I went inside his house, I was shocked, it was not like the first time I went here.

His apartment was a mess, blankets scattered around, books all over the floor and his clothes lying around.

I went to his room and saw him.

He was...

Lying down the floor and crying, I saw a picture lying around, it was a picture of his parents and him, he was still a small child.

"What are you doing here? *sob*" He said while crying.

"Rin sorry for barging in but I was.... I was worried about you!" I said blushing.

"Get out! I don't need anyone"

"Rin its okay, I feel your pain, I feel that we're alike, we're both outcasts, nobody understands us but us"

"You don't feel my pain! You don't know my past" He was still crying.

"I may not know your past but I had a horrible one too, will telling you my past will help?"

He nodded yes.

"Your the first one I told about this"

"Ok I was still a child, I had my parents Guren Hyakuya and Cordelia Hyakuya. My father was born in Japan but went to America to work and she met my mother there. My parents loved me so much and I loved them too, we would always play when they were at the house, we were a happy family until one day. My mother and father got in a fight, they argued non-stop, when I watched them they told me to sleep and I listened, so I went to sleep but I woke up because of them, they were still fighting and when I checked on them again, I saw my father, he was holding a knife, it was pointed at my mother and my father..... stabbed my mother, I can't stop crying that time when I saw it, after a few moments the police came. They asked me what happened but I was so shocked I couldn't say a thing. When they asked my father he told that she did suicide. After that, he left me, I didn't see my father again. After a few years he already re-married and wanted to take me back but I refused, I was already living by my self, I learned how to cook, how to work and how to live by myself. I didn't need my father anymore and I thought that I didn't need anyone. I learned how to fight and everybody feared me. I had no friends. By the age of 10 I went to Japan with my Aunt. My aunt gives me money monthly but she wouldn't live with me. I enrolled in this school and everything was still the same, I had no friends cause of my attitude, Until I met you. That's the story of how I became like this today"

"I feel bad for you, your a really strong girl that learned to live by herself. I admire you. My heart still hurts from before, I feel that no one can understand me that's why I never made friends, the only friends I have was Miss Sakura and Kirin"

"That's okay. I'll be your friend too, i'll never leave you even if the whole world becomes your enemy, i'll stay by your side and fight for you. I'll share your pain" I said.

He went to his knees and looked at me, he was still crying.

He was blushing but still crying, he gave a smile, a really cute smile, his smile was not fake, I felt it. It was smile of someone who's burden was just lifted from him.

He hugged me and I hugged him too.

"You were the first to tell me that, I'm really happy I met you" Rin said.

"Tell me what happened" I told Rin while patting his head.

"Okay" He replied.

I wiped his face, and cleared his tears.

He told me.

Shinoa,

Stay with me forever.
