Distant Love- Chapter 1
"Hi, Nuriko." I said smiling to my best friend walking to school.
"Hi, Kara." He said back to me.
"We had gone to school and met up with Korin, (Nuriko's twin sister). What I didn't notice (but Nuriko did), were four boys from Class B watching me.
"Who are you watching Nuriko?" Korin asked.
"Those jerks from Class B are watching us," Nuriko said angrily.
I looked back and saw Kakeru Nigashi, Ryoji Hadane, Saiki Songaru, and Kento Mikashi watching us.
I made eye contact with Kakeru. When I did, I felt cold shivers run down my spine.
"Come on Kara. Let's get to class," Nuriko said placing his hand on my shoulder.
"Sure," I said leaving with him and Korin.
What I didn't notice, but Nuriko and Korin did. I had jumped when Nuriko touched my shoulder.
We had gone to english were we had a new student. His name was Kaname Hagiri.
He looked to be a very serious guy. But he also looked dandgerous.
He turned towards me and held my gaze for a couple of seconds.
Even though it was only a couple of seconds. It seemed like hours had passed by.
He walked passed Nuriko, Korin, and I to the back of the room.
Kakeru looked towards Hagiri with jealousy in his eyes.
Hagiri looked back at him with a warning in his eyes.
Class had ended a couple of minutes later.
Kakeru had walked out behind Nuriko, Korin, and I.
He was about to grab my shoulder but, was hit in the back of the neck with a pebble.
He looked behind him to see if Hagiri was behind him.
Hagiri wasn't anywhere in site.
Kakeru thought it was Hagiri because, of what happened in english class. But he didn't know for sure.
Kakeru was in the same class as me for second period.
Which was literature.
Kakeru walked in class behind me.
I had asked the teacher if I could go and get a drink of water.
Miss Natsumi said I could.
I had gone to go and get a drink. Partly because I was thirsty, and partly to get away from Kakeru.
Saiki was walking in the same hallway as me.
He passed by and said while walking behind me, "nice figure." Then placed his hand around my backside.
I turned aournd to slap him in the face.
"Don't touch me you ass-!"
Before I could say anything else, Saiki knocked me out.
----------------------------------
Kaname was in the same class as Ryoji.
Which was physics.
Kaname saw what Saiki wrote to Ryoji. It read:
Ryoji:
Kara has been captured. She's being held in the basement near the back gate to the power supply. She's tied to the gate in a very nice position. You'll see soon.
Saiki
Ryoji turned his computer off.
Class had ended a couple of minutes later.
Kaname had fallowed Ryoji to the school's basement.
Ryoji opened the door to the basement.
Kaname looked in and saw my body naked, tied spread-eagled to the gate.
He gathered four pebbles and four nails in his hands.
He flicked the pebbles towards Kakeru, Ryoji, Saiki, and Kento.
He knocked them all out.
He hardened the nails so they would slice through the ropes with ease.
I had begun to fall, but Kaname rushed towards me and caught me before I had hit the ground.
He took his jaket off and covered me up.
Mr. Tanaka saw Kaname and stopped him in the hall.
"I demand to know. What happened to my student immediately." Mr. Tanaka said in an accusitory tone.
"I saved her from being attacked any further. Her attackers are in the basement near the back gate by the power supply knocked out. Now I'm taking her with me."
"Hagiri, I didn't say you could leave this building," Mr. Tanaka said.
"I'm leaving with her whether you say I can or not." Kaname said walking past him.
"I said wait! Where are you taking her?" Mr. Tanaka asked turning towards Kaname.
"I'm taking her home after I talk to her." Kaname said walking out the school doors.
Mr. Tanaka fallowed him outside saying, "let me know if she remebers anything."
Kaname looked behind him to Mr. Tanaka, "whatever you say."
He placed me on his bike facing him. Then he got on his bike.
We drove off down the road.
Mr. Tanaka walked back into the school.
He walked to the basement where Kakeru and the others were waking up.
"Get your butts to the principal's office. Now!" Mr. Tanaka said angrily to the boys.
"Screw off. Old man," Kakeru said back.
Mr. Tanaka grabbed Kakeru by his shirt collar.
"Either you boys go willingly." He paused then said tightening his grip on Kakeru's shirt collar, "or I'll drag you down there."
-----------------------------------------
I had woken up feeling the wind blowing across my body. I could feel my head laying against a firm chest. I looked up and saw Kaname looking strait ahead.
"Hagiri-san. Thank you," I said blushing.
"I was just in the right place at the right time," Kaname said still looking ahead.
I could feel my heart beat faster with the sound of his voice. My face became flushed with being so close to him. I wrapped my arms around Kaname to be closer to him, and not to fall of his motorcylce.
Kaname looked down and saw my face flushed. He had also began to feel his own temperature rise.
He held back the desire to do the same thing.
-----------------------------------------
Mr. Tanaka did what he said he was going to do.
He drug Kakeru and the others down to the principal's office. He threw them into the office making them fall to the ground.
"What's going on here?" Mr. Yagata asked standing up from behind his desk.
"These boys tried to assult one of my students. Hagiri just took her home."
"Damn bastard!" Kakeru thought angrily.
"What did they do?" Mr. Yagata asked.
"I assume they were going to sexually assault her. When I saw her in the hall with Hagiri, the only clothing covering her was his jacket." Mr. Tanaka said angrily looking towards the boys.
"What were you going to do, boys?" Mr. Yagata asked looking towards the four boys.
"What ever we wanted to do," Kento said back.
"Answer my question correctly." Mr. Yagata said looking towards the boys.
"Like he said, 'whatever we wanted to do'," Saiki said.
Mr. Yagata looked towards the boys.
"If you will not anser my questions then," Mr. Yagata said standing up walking over to one of his file cabinets. He opened the dorr and took out four sheets of paper. He took his pen out and began writing, "I want you boys out of this school. You are each susspended for a month. If you step on school property, I'll have you removed. Do I make myself clear?" Mr. Yagata asked.
"Freedom from you guys. We'd be glad to leave." Kakeru said to the principal.
Mr. Tanaka took the boys to their parents cars.
He called each of the boys parents to come and pick them up.
He gave the parents the papers.
Kakeru and the others left with their parents.
---------------------------------------------------
Kaname and I had arrived to a cave.
He got off of his motorcycle. And helped me off.
Feeling his strong arms around my waist had brought awareness, and arousness to his male presence.
I felt my body react to his presence. I had looked up to him and was blushing.
"Thank you, Hagiri-san. You've been real nice to help me out," I said to him.
"Like I said, I was in the right place at the right time." He said walking towards the cave's entrance.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"My hideout." Kaname said walking into the entrance.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Where the hell are those sons-of-bitches?!" Nuriklo asked angrily to our teacher.
"They are suspended for a month," Mr. Yagata said.
"What the hell is that good for?! They're going to come after her again!" Nuriko said angrily.
"Calm down Noriko," Korin said placing her hand on his shoulder.
"She's my best friend Korin. I want to know if she's alright," Noriko said looking at his twin sister.
"She'll be fine Yukimoru. Hagiri has her with him. He said he's going to talk to her then take her home." Mr. Tanaka said.
"Then I'm going to her house now," Nuriko said leaving the building.
"Wait Noriko. I'm going too," Korin said.
"You both becareful." Mr. Tanaka said as they left school.
"We will," Noriko said walking towards my house.
---------------------------------------------------
"I want you to stay here. I'll go and bring you clothes." Kaname said.
"Okay," I said still wearing his jacket.
"Sniper," someone said at the cave's entrance.
"Mr. Sensui," Kaname said back walking to the entrance.
"Who is this?" Sensui asked looking at me.
"Her name is Kara Yukita. I had brought her here after she had almost gotten raped," Kaname said showing his anger when he said 'raped'.
I had seen his anger from saying that sentence and thought, "does he care about me? I wonder if he felt what I had felt when our eyes first met."
"I see. I shall watch over her while you go and get her clothes." Sensui said looking at Kaname.
"I'll be back soon," Kaname said looking towards me.
"Okay. Be careful," I said looking towards him.
"Don't worry about me," Kaname said as he left.
"Sniper is one of my best men," Sensui said looking towards me. "He is not a very nice guy. Just like the rest of us."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I have shown them a tape called Chapter Black," Sensui said.
"Why would a tape turn Hagiri-san evil?" I asked.
"The tape shows all of our worst crimes and wars humans have fought and started." Sensui paused saying, "I have shown six men the tape. Sinper was one of those men."
"But if he was totally evil, he wouldn't have resued me. He would have left me to those assholes. And let them do whatever they wanted to do," I said looking towards Sensui.
"I think he would have done worse if he wanted to. He most likely didn't because you were there. He probably didn't want to put you in anymore danger then you already were."
"If he did worse then he did. I wouldn't blame him," I said to Sensui. "I would be glad if he did. Being raped in my opinion is just like murder. Women and girls both get raped all the time in my city." Tears fell out of my eyes as i said, "that's exactly what happened to Rika Hontaru."
"Who was she?" Sensui asked.
"She was my cousin." I paused then said, "my aunt had called us and asked if we had seen her. She said she was coming over to visit me. I told Haruka that we hadn't seen her. I had gone out lookng for her. I found her in an ally half a block away from my house. She had been brutally raped and beaten to death." I paused then said, "I vowed to have my revenge for Rika no matter what the price is to me. Even at the cost of my own life."
"And what do you think would happen if you found the attackers? And what if they're the same boys after you?"
"I made a solem vow to Rika on her gravesite when everyone left. And I'll keep that vow no matter how long it takes me to find them." I said looking outside the cave's entrance.
--------------------------------------------------
Nuriko and Korin were sitting outside my house when Kaname rode up on his bike.
"Hagiri? Where's Kara?" Nuriko asked walking up to Kaname.
"I hid her in a cave with my boss watching over her. She is safe. I came by to get clothes for her."
"Can we see her?" Nuriko asked.
"If you come to my hideout, you'll never be able to leave." Kaname said looking towards Nuriko and Korin. "I don't want to take any chances of them finding her."
"Do you mean to tell me, you won't let her leave your hideout?" Nuriko asked.
"Yes," Kaname said walking into my house.
---------------------------------------
Kaname came out a half an hour later with a suitcase in his hand.
Nuriko and Korin had gone home. They both knew I would be safe with Kaname.
He got on his bike and left to return to his hideout.
-------------------------------------
"I shall leave you two alone. I shall come by tomorrow." Sensui said leaving.
Kaname and I had ate dinner.
Soon after we had fallen asleep.
---------------------------------------
Sensui was watching my house when he saw a blue car enter the driveway. He watched a woman get out of the car and walk into the house.
"I must go and tell Sniper someone has entered Kara's house." He said then left to go to Kaname's hideout.
----------------------------------------
While Sensui was gone, four boys knocked on my front door. The woman had let them in the house. Then she had shut the door behind them.
