Under My Wing

From Hell And Back

~Iroha's POV~
Chills run down my spine as I turn around. "Oh.. Hey Ichijo-Kun..." "Aww... don't be like that Ero! You remember me!" ~Yeah I remember your dumbass.~ I back up myself into a corner as Ichijo-Kun runs his hands down my chest. "Woah. Stop it, dude." I grab his wrist and mutter as he sighs and releases his hand. "Listen, I'm having a party on Saturday, and I think you should come!" ~A Party? Man... I don't have time for parties! Saturday is when I go out and fight witches for fuck's sake!~ "Um... I'm sorry, but I'm really busy on Saturday..." I whisper from fear as he puts his hand against the wall. ~He's trapping me! Damn it!~ "Listen, whatever that medication shit is doing to you. Stop taking it. For a day. Once the party arrives you'll be feeling great." He threatens me and I slide up into a ball. "Fine... I'll go to your stupid party Ichijo-Kun..." I whine as he smiles. "Kickass! It'll be great. Trust me." ~But I don't...~ I walk down the hall and find Yachiyo-San and I cling to her. "Well? Let's go! I wanna get that cake!" I show her a fake smile as we proceed to the dorms.

~TimeSkip To Next Day~

"I'm up..." I groan and get out of bed. I finish my morning routine and head downstairs. "Ready to go?" A voice startles me out of my morning grogginess as I get tickled. "A-AHAHA! S-STOP I-IT Y-YACHIYO-S-SAN!" "Nah... I'm good, this enjoyable.~" "S-SERIOUSLY, S-STOP! N-NOW'S NOT G-GOOD!" "Hm? How so?" She releases her fingers from my ribs as my body continues to quiver. "We're gonna be late, c'mon. We have a little thing called school." I grab my bag and her hand as we run to school.

Hours pass, and the 3rd period has started. "Woahh we got a new girl?" I hear one of my classmates exclaim as I turn around. "M-My name is Sana Futaba. I'm 15 and I just moved here. I hope to be friends with you all!" The girl, Futaba-San, finishes her introduction as the day carries on itself.

I'm on my way to find Yachiyo-San and Futaba-San, but I get stopped in my tracks. "Hey, Ero." "Oh.. Hey Ichijo-Kun..."  ~I feel nothing, but pain. I forgot to take my medication...~ I glance at my wrist as he backs me up into a wall. "N-No... not now! Not here-!" My begging is cut short as his mouth meets mine. His fingers continuously dig into my hair as I try to push him away. Only to get pulled in more. ~I'm getting raped... sexually harassed... heck, sexually abused even... I want it to end... all I feel is more pain... I can't take this anymore..!~ I push Ichijo-Kun off and run. I kept on running, and I never stopped.

~Yachiyo's POV~
"Where's Iroha-San?" Mifuyu questions Sana plays with her fingers as Tsuruno looks around. I glance over my shoulder. "I don't know..." I sigh as doubts start to enter my SoulGem.

She left you.
There was no hope for you two.
Your lonely ass will never find anyone.
She's dead.
Your wish killed her.
You were dumb to even meet her.
You shouldn't have been born.
You shouldn't have come out.
It was best to stay in misery.
Let the darkness overtake you.
It's good for you.
It's what's keeping you sane.
Nothing will be the same if you keep on lying to yourself.
An Unfaltering Conviction?! Hah! I call it Death and Misery.
You're the reason why everyone is dead.
You're the reason why everyone isn't with you.
You're the reason why everyone is scared of you.
You're the reason why everyone hates you.
You're the reason why everyone laughs at you.
You're the reason why everyone mocks you.
You're the reason why everyone-

THAT'S ENOUGH!
I'm not the reason for misfortune!
I'm not the reason for karma!
Everything happens for a reason!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

"Shut up!" I exclaim as the group looks at me. "Sorry... um... doubts came." "Again?" Tsuruno sighs and hands me a can of tea. "Thanks..." I mutter and take the drink. Padding footsteps start to rebound through the hall as a girl comes running towards us. "Iroha!" Mifuyu exclaims and stops her. "T-Thank... y-you... M-Mifuyu-S-San..."
