Love War and Becoming a Teacher

Finding Help

Your POV
With tears in my eyes, I watched Asuno leave and felt my skin begin to crawl and itch, like a slimy slug was crawling around my body. Feeling filthy I reluctantly decided to take a shower. I stepped into the bathroom and stripped off my grey pajama pants and yellow top, stepped into the shower and let the warm water run down my body, and dance around my toes and down the drain. However, the crawling was still there, plaguing my skin as if it were leprosy threatening to claim my limbs and life.  All I wanted to do was take my filthy skin off, to get rid of this feeling of filth, so I grabbed a scrub bush and began scrubbing violently. Up and down, side to side, I scrubbed, until my skin was red, raw, and inflamed from soap, but it still was not enough. Self consciously I grabbed the razor that was sitting on the white ledge and began to lower it to my left arm, but before I could bleed I slammed the razor back to the ledge, turned off the shower and got out. I really wanted that razor against my skin, I wanted to feel it's metal blade brake my skin and allow the red liquid called blood to ooze into the sink, never to be seen again, and that fact scared me. I wanted this filthy feeling to go away. But, I promised Asuno I wouldn't. So instead, I pulled on a soft, mint green, long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and black boots and ran from the dorm as fast as my feet could carry me. That was my intention, but in my haste I ended up running into someone. Someone, I didn't exactly want to see right now.
Karma's POV
    I walked back to my dorm still running numbers and systems threw my head. I felt bad for being  away so much, but I was just focused. I wondered what YN was up to, was she doing well in her classes? Asuno said something about her acting weird for the last week, I wondered why that was.  As I pondered all these things and  I thought about my new Economics assignment a felt a body collide with mine.
    "I'm sorry." I began but my words were cut short by my black haired, dark eyed beauty looking up at me.
    "Karma?" Her voice asked softly as she backed a few steps away, frowning. That surprised me, she acted like she didn't want me to touch her. Actually now that I looked at her, she looked terrible. Her dark eyes were puffy, her hair was wet, her skin was pail and she looked like she hadn't slept or eaten in an month.
    "Hey." I smiled. "I'm so sorry I haven't been around but..." I began however YN just shook her head.
    "Y..you h..have classes, don't w..worry I...I understand." YN smiled sadly and my heart dropped as a single  tear fell from her left eye.
    "YN what ha..." I began but she just brushed past me. I turned and grabbed her left arm spinning her around to face me, but as she winced in pain, and pulled away, I let go in shock. This wasn't my YN. Before I could ask questions YN had disappeared down the hall disappearing in the crowd.
"Tsk." I sighed in frustration, this time last year I would have had no trouble locating anyone in a crowed, what was wrong with me. Giving up I went inside my dorm, I would have to talk to her when she came back.
    Wait why is my hand wet? I had only then realized a damp stickiness to my hand, and when I looked down at my fingers, my heart stopped. Blood?
Asuno's pov
    For the first time in my life I walked up the mountain to the E Class classroom. It was strange to think I had despised this very class in the past and now was coming here to ask for help. Oh how blind I had been to reality, too obsessed with destroying my father to see that E Class had already done so. I had always invisioned E Class to be a prison like building, with white cement walls, metal bars on the windows and a barbed wire fence surrounding the perimeter. So, imagine my surprise when Nora and I reached the top of the mountain only to see a rundown, falling apart, wooden building complete with a broken window. I was about to make a comment on the poor quality if this building but I was interrupted by an ear piercing scream followed by a woman shouting.
    "Alright you brats! Go home! And for if anyone dares not to do their homework!.... Hey get back here!"
    All at once the doors to the building flung open and a group of 3E students ran out the doors laughing while kicking up dust and dirt, leaving a very angry blonde woman, fuming in the doorway.
     "Why I decided to stay and teach these brats, I will never know." The woman mumbled in disgust as Nora and I approached her.
    "Excuse me." I cleared my throat and looked up at the sexy woman, attempting to keep my eyes above the neck.
    The woman glared down at me and smirked as she turned up her nose. "Well well." She sneered. "What is  a blue blood like yourself doing at this elevation?"
    I narrowed her eyes at her tone. "I'm looking for Mr. Kurasama."
     "I'm his wife Erina, Kurasama went back to...his previous job." Erica answered. "Can I take a message?" Again her tone just screamed 'go die in a hole.'
    All I could think, was wow what a bitch. I opened my mouth to speak, but Nora stopped me.
      "Actually I think you can help us." Smiled Nora, cutting in before I could tell Ms. Erina exactly what I thought about her. "It's about YN."
     Erina's cold eyes softened and grew concerned. "Is she okay?"
     "No mam'a." I answered. "She's not."
                                                                  ~~~
     Your POV
          Once I had calmed down enough that I stopped running I dragged my feet all the way back to the dorm room. I had considered calling my dad, but I think he's over in Russia interrogating some terrorist so I decided against it, I've found when the criminal finds out you have kids they think you  go soft.
Sighing I swung open my dorm room door and was greeted my a welcoming face. Erina sat in my bed smiling softly at at me. I just stood there with my mouth open with tears forming in my eyes. God I was so sick of crying, it's all I ever did when I wasn't  stone cold silent. But the sight if my step mom, standing up and opening her arms to me, brought tears to my eyes once more as I ran up to her and flung my arms around her, weeping tears of shame, sadness and a small sense of relief.
"YN, do you want to come home?" Asked Erina as she stoked my hair and let me cry.
Not being able to choke out words, I just nodded.
"Okay." Erina smiled. "I called your dad. He's on his way."
I looked up at her with confused eyes and a frown. "But w..wasn't he in an i..interrogation?" I asked, surprised the government would let him leave.
"Yes, but once he got my call he stormed into the room and told the guy he had a daughter that needed his help and that he no longer cared how he got answers." Erina chuckled. However, I could see her physically frown as I stammered.
I smiled and wiped away my tears. "I can see him d...doing that." I giggled as I pictured the Russian shrinking into a corner with dad looming over him. You know, like you see in anime.
"Come on." Erina smiled and wrapped her arm in mine. "Let's go welcome him back."
    I nodded and let Erina guid me out of the dorm and to her car...I fell asleep on the way home.
Karma's POV
I laid on my bed staring at the ugly cream colored ceiling, with my arms behind my head, trying to figure out what had happened with YN. I could not figure out why she would start crying like that, she really wasn't one to cry so I could only guess someone had to died. But that did not explain the blood. I wanted answers and I wanted them now. As I was pondering what to do next, my phone lit up and began buzzing loudly, making me wish I had a knife so I could stab it. Sighing at the in-convince I rolled onto my side and answered the stupid thing. "Hello?" I asked lazily.
     "KARMA ******* AKABANE!" An all to familiar pissed off voice of a blonde haired she devil  screamed through the phone.
    "Hey Rio." I sighed and flopped back down on my back.
    "Don't you dare hey Rio me! What the hell is wrong with you? Did you really get so consumed with your books and classes, you didn't see that YN wasn't going to class, and was an emotional wreck?!"
     I swallowed a lump in my throat hard and was about to ask a million questions but Rio kept yelling.
    "You should had been the first to notice Karma, you should had been the one checking on her. Not Asuno! Asuno should not had been the one to walk into her dorm room, being concerned for her well being, only to FIND HER CUTTING!" Rio's voice grew louder with each word projected through the speaker, but at her last three words my eyes shot open as I sat up fast.
      "What?" I asked softly, the words still trying to sink into my thick skin. I pulled my red hair as I leaned on my knees, how could I had been so blind? How could I had not had seen the signs? Thousands questions flooded my mind and consumed my soul. Yet again I tried to ask them only for Rio to read my mind.
     "Oh, I will let someone else tell you the rest." Rio spat. "I think you need to remember how much that girl means to you before I tell you anything else. Oh but don't worry to much, Asuno informed me YN's at home with Professor Bitch, and Kurasama's on his way." With that Rio's voice was replaced by the infuriating sound of an ended phone call.
    I slowly brought my phone down from my ear and stared at it, like at any moment Rio would call back laughing and telling me it was some kind of sick prank. But deep in my heart I knew, I had known, and I hadn't done anything.
    "Hey Karma..." Asuno walked through the door but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me. "...I would had told you..." He began, already knowing Rio had called me.
    "No you wouldn't had." I shook my head and looked down at the filthy floor. "Because I wouldn't had told me either. God I'm such a damned idiot." I punched the bedding under me, frustrated that it wasn't something hard. "What happened? How bad?" I asked, looking up at Asuno. The guy that saved my girlfriend, the guy I really wanted to hate right now, but couldn't. All I could hate was myself.
     Asuno sat down on his bed a sighed. "It's bad Karma..really bad." Asuno sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. "YN had been acting strange since last week, and this morning Nora mentioned having an uneasy feelings about what was going on. I had the same feeling since it wasn't like YN to skip classes, so I decide to check on her to make sure she wasn't puking her guts out. When I opened the door, there was blood all over the sheets, and she had a knife to her lower arm." Asuno took a deep breath, as if just remembering that moment sent terror down his spine. "Karma." Asuno said slowly. "I don't know how to tell you this, but YN was raped by one of the professors."
     In that moment the world seemed to stop.
     "What?" I choked.
