<< Chapter 9



The metallic liquid flowed down Aiko's cheeks, and she hissed at the stinging pain. Hiroyuki had grazed the sharp edge across her cheek, and she heard screams from the outside. "Riko!"

No doubt, it was the voice of her friend, shouting in pain. "What happened to her?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Aiko spatted at Hiroyuki. The boy just stood there for a moment, before shrugging. "I did nothing to her. The books at the library was an accident."

"So it was you anyway. What do you want?"

"I want all of you to suffer. I love you, yet you're not mine. Do you know how terrible it feels?" The grin on his face was disgusting, and the door suddenly flew opened.

When she had started screaming, tears started to flow and Hayato was woke up by it too. "Riko! Don't worry, everything's alright." Strong arms encircled her shivering frame. Hayato just thought how fragile the usually strong Riko was now.

She always was, even when she's sad, that smile never wavered from her lips. Hayato knew because he was always looking at her each and every move. Although she said she was okay, he knew she wasn't.

Riko wasn't as strong as she seem to be, but this was the first time he had ever saw her strong wall crumbling.

"Aiko. She's in danger." With that, Riko shrugged out of Hayato's grip and ran. All the boy could do was follow.

She flung opened the door and collapsed. Hayato had immediately rushed up while dialing Yuto's number. He had jammed his phone back into his pocket when he went to help Riko up.

"What are you doing to Sugihara, Saito. You weren't like this when we're back in Singapore!" Yuto had heard it clearly, and he signaled for everyone to stop while he on his loudspeaker.

Hiroyuki's voice came out next. "So how did you know we're here in the art room, Kusaka." All four of them just ran.

The Art room.

Riko's breaths were laboured, and she pulled herself up, leaning against the wall. Asthma. She was never supposed to just dash like this anyway. "Shut up, Saito. I was the one that knew that you're here. Because of your sick mind, you'll just think of cutting all of us up as an art."

"So smart, my little sister. Look at Aiko's blood, the perfect blend of red. What about your's?" That smirk on his face never left, and Riko moved up.

"Don't come near me Hayato."

It had shocked him. No more Kusaka-kun? Why did Riko call him Hayato again? Unless ... With one swift move, Riko had punched Hiroyuki in the stomach, and grabbing a ruler from the side, she used it as her make-shift shinai.

When Yuto, Ryosuke, Chinen and Kento arrived, Riko was seated on top of Saito's back, locking his arms. "Takasugi ...?" Chinen uttered her surname, before he saw Aiko.

Panic kicked in and he quickly untied Aiko, while using his handkerchief to wipe off the blood on her cheeks. "Chii!"

"Sorry Aiko, I'm so sorry. Let me bandage that up for you." Chinen embraced his girlfriend tightly, while Yuto and Ryosuke went up to Saito and tied him up. It was only then that Riko stood up.

As soon as she stood up, a wave of dizziness overcame her. The YamaJima pair managed to catch her in time and sat her down on a chair.

"Thank you, Yama-chan, Nakajima." Gasp could be heard, and a smirk grazed Riko's lips. "Don't be so surprised. Don't you all miss me? After me leaving and being asleep for three years."
