Chapter 4 Part 1 Cross
Yuki had spent the rest of the day in her room finishing her homework and at some point fell into a deep sleep on her desk. The sun had been long set when she awoke and glanced at the small black clock on her bedside table. 2:00 am. Alice was not yet back in her bed which was no surprise. She pulled her stiff body from the chair and closed her vocabulary book then sauntered to the bathroom. As soon as she flipped the switch sudden movement made her nearly jump out of her skin and she became fully alert. Alice was sitting the corner behind the toilet, haunched over and halfway asleep. Yuki dropped down by her side and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Alice? You alright?" Alice sprang awake so fiercely that Yuki fell back and a small shriek escaped her mouth. She brought a trembling head to her chest and inhaled. "Dammit Alice you scared the Asian out of me!" That's when Yuki noticed the blood leaking from her face. She pulled herself up and grabbed Alice's face in both hands to look her over. Alice has a broken nose, busted lip and a black and blue tear encrusted eye. Yuki also noticed that her arms were covered in bruises. Anger swelled inside of her heart and she snapped. "What the hell happened!" Alice could barely stay awake to answer so Yuki tried to help her up and bring her over to her bed. It took a great deal of strength from both girls but they managed. Alice flopped onto the mattress and nearly rolled off before Yuki could catch her. She helped Alice undress from her ripped and bloody tank top and blue jean shorts. She was going to leave on her underwear but they were soaked with blood. "Oh Alice what did this to you?" Alice responded by snoring through her broken nose. Yuki pulled off her panties and undid her bra then pulled the covers up and over her naked body. She pushed a lose strand of blonde hair from her battered face and decided she needed to wash away some of the blood. She came back from the washroom after using it, washing her hands well and carried a cool clean wash cloth. Slowly she dabbed at it to loosen the dried blood under her nose before she gingerly wiped it away. When Alice seemed clean enough, Yuki crawled into the bed with her, wrapped her arms around her and fell back to sleep. After her life changing event with Yumi, he never returned to school. It ate at her insides and made the itch inside. She lost focus in her classes and fell drastically behind. She couldn't eat, drink or even sleep most of the time without thinking about him and the revenge that she plotted against him. Most of all she could stop thinking about how she had felt with him and only him. Yuki began to lash out at classmates and mouthed off to her teachers. She even attempted to stab a boy with a pencil because he got to close to her. Little by little every day she began to lose her sanity. After months of dragging herself to useless classes to deal with pathetic people, Yuki stopped going all together and indulged herself into her computer. She was determined to track him down. His house had been vacant shortly after her attack but something called out to her from within it. She gathered her courage and visited the abandoned house one late afternoon once all the snow began to melt away. The forsake sign in the front yard swung from only one end in the cool spring breeze. She kicked it as she walked past causing it to fall entirely. The house it's self was once a thing of beauty. It had a Classic Oriental look to it with a pagoda style roof on the second story. Alice the first floor doors and windows were now sealed shut and blocked off by heavy slats of practical boards. Yuki tried to pry the nails out but they were stuck tight. Determination took hold of her as she paced the exterior. About to give up Yuki looked over the surrounding trees into the sunset and pulled her black cross necklace from the inside of her sweater and fingered it. Yumi's face flashed before her and she grunted angrily, stomping and kicking at the ground. She started swinging her fists in the air when her foot kicked an old cherry blossom tree on the far side of the building. She glanced up at the sprouting buds and took in the beauty of it, allowing the sweet flowery smell to calm her. Then she noticed the second floor window hidden behind it. It was open just enough for a small body to squeeze through. Or she had hoped. Gleefully, Yuki assumed the tree as far as she could go, up until the branches began to thin out. She reached for the ledge but needed to be just a bit higher. She looked down at the ground far below her, swallowed hard and took the chance as she pulled herself onto the sill with her arms and braced herself on a very fragile tree limb. She heard a small snapping as she began to pull herself up until finally it completely cracked from under her and she jumped. As the branch plummeted to the earth Yuki let out a howl of agony. Her hand had landed on a jagged shard of pane glass. The window was not left open, it had broken in half from the winter winds blowing on the tree. She pulled her hand off the shard and kicked it lose. She watched as it fell to the ground near the branch. Regrets filled her head as she braved herself and pulled her body up and into the room in a summersault. She landed squarely on her behind, spread eagle. She held her wrist tightly in her other hand to try and stop the blood flow and peered around the semi empty room. There was an old wooden dresser at the far wall. Yuki got to her feet as carefully as she could then made her way towards it. She searched drawer after drawer for any fabric she could find. There was a old blue T-shirt in the bottom. It would have to do as a wrap. She tore the hem from the bottom completely off and wrapped it tightly around her palm and tucked the end under to keep it in place. Once done she was ale to take in the small room around her. It could have possibly been his bedroom because of its smallness. Anger surged though her. She grabbed the top of the dresser and pulled on it until it toppled over in a cloud of dust and echoed through the empty house. She waved away the dust from her face and kicked at a broken piece of wood. Beating up a defenseless dresser did not appease her to she decided to go explore the rest of the house. As she stepped towards the doorway she kicked a small box that she hasn't seen before across the floor. It must have been hidden under he dresser and tucked away. She stepped over to it and picked it up. The box was light and made from a thin leather. It had a rusted lock on it that required a key to open. Having been already aggravated, Yuki chucked it across the room and it cracked wide open. The entire lock popped off and flew in the opposite direction. She ran to it and then the lid open roughly. Yuki peered inside and gasped. Inside was the dress and shoes that she had worn to the party that night.

Yuki pulled the yellowing and tattered dress from the chest and held it to her frame. She had grown a bit since that night and was sure it would be too small to fit now. Anger began to fill her heart. She balled up the dress, stuffed it back in the trunk and hauled it out into the hall way. Once she reached the banister she peered down to the first floor then lifted the trunk over her head and flung it over. "You think you can do what you did and just leave be behind!" The trunk plummeted down to the first floor, crashed through the rotten boards and clattered into the basement. The sound echoed beneath her as she made her way down the staircase. She placed her hand on the basement doorknob and hesitated for a few moments, took a deep breath and opened it. The stairwell was dark and the air smelled damp and stale. So much has changed about this house in such a short time but the memories seemed to be only yesterday. Yuki was determined to face her demons after having dealt with them completely on her own for the past three agonizing years. She took a deep breath and descended into the darkness. As she walked into the darkness she saw the broken chest and kicked it across he room where it entered a small section of the room illuminated by the leaking light that shown in from a crack in the window boards. The old couch was still there but everything else has been removed. She stepped up over to it and voices rang in her ears. The ghosts of the boys ravaging her moved before her. They laughed and moaned as one after another took their turns on her. She could see herself held helpless on the floor caked with fluids and began to feel the pain all over again. As the memories filled her, the rage over took her soul and before she knew it Yuki was on her knees screaming into the emptiness. She felt a hot fire begin to burn within her chest. It spread to her torso then to her limbs. The building began to shake, dust fell from the ceiling and walls. Bricks came lose and fell around her. Wooden planks creaked and splintered.The power engulfed her and exploded from within like an Aurora Borealis of energy. The house began to come down on top of her as she blacked out. That was the last thing Yuki could remember before she awoke on the Lockheart High bus. Yuki could feel Alice begin to stir in the bed and lifted her had to look at her. She looked back dazed and confused as she glanced around the room. Yuki got up from the bed and stood up. "Alice, are you better?" Alice nodded slowly as she scrunched her eyes together and held her throbbing head. She brought her hands to her face and flinched as she felt her swollen lip and brow. She opened her mouth and started to whimper as the nights affairs came to her. Yuki dropped to her knees on the bed and took ahold of her in a firm embrace to try and comfort her. " She sh sh, I'm here." Alice sobbed into her shoulder and pulled her closer and cried herself out as Yuki stroked her matted yellow hair with her free hand until she began to calm down. Alice finally pulled away and dried her eyes with her blanket then she look up at Yuki's curious eyes. Both girls knew it would probably be pointless to go to one of the faculty with any personal matter and that every student was on thier own. As roommates they had to trust and confide in each other. Alice's lips quivered as he forced the raspy word from her dry throat. "Ash." Yuki could barely understand her or the meaning behind the word so she went o fetch a cup of was from the bathroom. Alice brought it to her lips and drained the entirety of its contents. Yuki waited for further explanation. "He seems nice. He is super hot and I couldn't help myself at first. It was too easy to fall for his charm. There was booze and pot and he gave me anything I wanted. And the sex.... oh the sex was amazing. Until..." Alice handed the empty cup back to her and Yuki quickly filled it again then retuned I back to Alice's shaking hands. She drained it again. "He started to change into something else. He got angry and mean and then he hit me. The first time he swore was just an accident and he told me he would make it up. I was stupid to believe him and go back. Then this happened. I swear I don't even know what triggered him. He just came at from the shadows and attacked me. At some point I guess I hit my head and blacked out because he was gone and somehow I found my way back here. I never see him in the day time and have no idea if he is a student or not. He never really told me much about himself. He seemed to always be just interested in me and I liked it. I really liked it." Yuki gently took ahold of her shoulders and turned her to face her directly. In the sternest voice possible Yuki tried to advise and appease her friend. "I need you to go he nurse right away and get those cuts looked at, make sure nothing is broken and I am going to find out more about this, Ash." Alice nodded and they embraced each other once more.

Yuki dressed for class as soon as the sunlight beamed through the dorm window. She placed both copies of vocabulary homework in her pack. Hopefully she would be able to pass the second one off as Alice's. She had gone to see the nurse as Yuki had suggested. But now she was determined to find out she could about the mysterious Ash. Aside from the constant glares at her in English class time passed by without interruption and she was able to successfully turn in the homework. Victor and river were back in class as well but the say on opposite sides of the room and River was very careful not to move around in her seat to much most likely do to the healing process on her bottom. She seemed to make it her goal not to make as little eye contact with the teacher as possible. As the class ended Mr. Nazzy watched her with a creepily raised brow as she left the classroom with her new vocabulary sheet in hand as well as a copy for Alice. Not much interesting happened in painting class either. The blue haired boy was a no show once again but that didn't stop her from the intimacy that she seems to share between her acrylics and the canvas. Painting always seemed to end faster then any of her classes and it tore at her to have to hang up her spackled apron and leave her freedom of expression behind. History class was just as boring as ever and Yuki found herself day dreaming about standing on a blank canvas as multiple colors of paint dripped down from the black sky and onto it splashing around her naked body, coating her enough to be able to lay down and make paint angels. She rolled around in every puddle until she became muddy and brown but never without a smile. The class was dismissed and she broke from her dream unsure of what today's subject had been about. When she arrived in the gym the blue haired boy was already there. His half smile as she glanced at him was unhideable. She pushed her hair from her face and made her way to her place in front of him. As she did he stood up and bowed to her to welcome her presence. This surprised her and made her feel slightly awkward but instead of saying something weird she just took her seat. He sat down again behind her. His gaze burned the back of her head and made her nervously sweat. Ace jogged to the head of he group and stood before them out of breath and rested with his hands on his knees. "Ok, so. Today I just want y'all to do laps around the floor if ya need me I'll be in my office." And with that he trotted off after his assistant. Yuki was sure they were not doing paperwork. Still aggravated by last night's events she didn't even notice his hands on her feet while she did her sit ups. Then she stood up, stretched her legs and began to jog around the room. Some of the other students were already ahead of her. On her fourth lap an arm swung out in front of her from behind the bleachers and pulled her behind by her for arm. She was released and slammed into the wall. Before she could object his lips were on hers in a passionate embrace. Caught up in the moment she began to kiss hungrily back but suddenly pushed him away.The blue boy stood in front of her, looking down at her shoes. Slightly shock stricken Yuki began to vent at him. " I'm really distracted today and dont have time to play around so what ever game your at it needs to stop right now!" She started to walk off but his hand was gripping her arm again, gentler this time. His touch always seemed to freeze her and pull her in weather she could help it or not. Something about him always calmed her soul and she coulnt get enough of it. " Seriously, I really need to think." His hand was on her chin and he tilted her head up to his mouth as his lips pressed tenderly upon hers again. She melted into him as both his hands found thier way across her back and he held her like a warm blanket. She kissed back again and her hands found thier way up his arms and her fingers wrapped them selves in his aqua locks. His lips kissed across her cheek to her earlobes and down her neck. Every hair on her body stood up as the goosebumps began to rise on her skin. He suckled her flesh and nibbled as he made his way past her shirt collar and down to her chest as far as the fabric elasticity would allow. His hands slid down and cupped her breasts in both. She sucked in a huge breath as he squeezed and massaged. The tingle within grew rapidly and began to scream at her to escape as his lips found hers again. His hands continued to scroll down her torso as he bit and sucked on her bottom lip. Caught in the heat of the moment nothing could have prepared her for what came next. His hands grabbed her behind and he lifted her up and onto his knee so that she was about a foot off the ground supported by the wall behind her and his knee between her legs. She could feel the wetness that had developed and she began to blush and tried to turn her face away from his sight. With one hand still holding her behind the used the other to lock her face back on his then he lowered his hand to her knees and slipped it up her thigh into her shorts. He inched closer and closer to her embarrassment so she began to squirm out of his grip. His fingers passed her panties and traced creases. Yuki felt her heart begin to race and she closed her eyes. Her fingers tugged at his hair and as he slipped down inside of her she felt her mouth open wide and heard the gasp escape. He stroked her soft slick folds and her swollen spot that made her flinch with pleasure. Two fingers were inserted into her and as he buried them deep inside her he began to wiggle them causing her entire body to stiffen and pull his face into her chest. He plunged his digits in and out gradually speeding up the force until she began to lose all come and felt the tingle surge through her. As the eruption overcame her he brought the hand holding her bottom up to cover her mouth just a moment before the scream of pleasure exploded from her throat. She convulsed and spilled onto him but still he held her in place and worked his fingers inside of her until her body loosened and began to calm. He removed his hands and pulled her to his chest, removed his knee and allowed her slide down the wall until her sneakers were planted back into the floor. He held her close as the orgasmic aftershocks still continued to pulse through her. She opened her eyes and tried to look past his enormous smile and into his eyes. She let go of his head and brought a still trembling hand to his face to push his bangs aside. Instinctively his hand shot up grabbed her wrist before she could. She jumped. Having realized what he had done he released her and exited from under the bleachers leaving her completely alone as the sound of a whistle being blown disrupted the moment. If she was in trouble, she didn't care. It was worth it.

Ace took late roll call and dismissed the class so Yuki made her way to the locker room to undress. She saw him standing in the hall near the boys changing room with his arms crossed and one foot up on the wall, watching her. She gave him a coy smile and slipped through the doors to change. When she came back out he was still there but he had changed back into his uniform as well. He changed in a hurry because his white shirt was untucked from his black slacks and his vest was unbuttoned. It made her giggle. She walked passed him and down the hall to her next class. His soft steps could be heard from behind. Once she was far enough ahead she veered around a archway and hid behind a pillar. He lost sight of her and picked up his pace completely missing her as he turned past her bidding spot. The hall was devoid of any students which caused him to stop and scratch his head. That's when Yuki jumped on him from behind and he let out a small started groan. When he heard her laughter he gave her a huge grin, wrapped his arm over her shoulders and the two of them walked in silence to her next class. The entire way, Yuki couldn't but o keep glancing up at his well rounded chin and the parts of his face that were visible. Perhaps he was a mute, or deaf. She didn't want to ask because she secretly liked the mystery of his entirety. He walked her to the hallway just before her class and kissed her once on the cheek then went on his way to his own class, or somewhere. Yuki felt like skipping and singing but it was torn away from her mind as soon as she felt the sharp sting of the crop landing her shoulder. "Good afternoon Mistress." As soon as Valit heard this she seamed appeased and withdrew her riding crop from her shoulder, allowing her to proceed into the classroom and find a seat. Today Yuki started to do her history worksheets and try to catch up on what she failed to pay attention to in class. At one point she even dared to glance over at Rainbow who seemed dull and devoid of color even though she was always dressed with vibrance. It must be because she wore no smile and made no attempts to give anyone any notice. As for Quinita, she sat at the front of the class room and as far away from Rainbow as possible. The sling had been removed from her arm but she still wore a small head wrap. She also made no attempt to speak to anyone. At this point, Yuki missed the paper airplanes and to music. The hour seemed like an eternity before Valit finally dismissed them and exited the room before anyone else could leave with a very dissatisfied look upon her face. Yuki stood up and slung her pack over her shoulder but before she could approach Rainbow, the girl hurried along and was lost in the crowed hallway. Yuki looked everywhere for her. She even attempted to jump high enough to see over the crowd for any sign of rainbow colored hair. She was just about to give up as she passed the girls bathroom and she ran smack into her. Yuki nearly jumped but she handled her composure. "Hey! I was looking for you" Rainbow placed a hand on her hip. "Yeah so you found me, so?" Yuki was confused and didn't understand the sudden attitude and was about to walk away when Rainbow dropped her hand from her hip, grabbed her shoulders and cracked a big smile while she shook her. "It's a joke I was just being sarcastic. Jeeze you looked like a ghost." Yuki attempted to laugh with her but had a very serious question to ask her so she took Rainbow by the hand and lead her back into the bathroom and into a stall. She shut and locked the door then turned to face the girl. They were nearly nose to nose and Yuki realized the stalls were definitely not meant for two people. "Ok so it's like that huh?" Rainbow wrapped her hands around Yuki's head and pulled her in for a kiss but Yuki broke free and accidentally hit her head on the stall door. "Ouch! No it's not like that. I just need to talk to you in private. I don't know anyone else well enough yet to talk to about it." Rainbow stood up on the toilet and looked over the stall wall to see if anyone else was in the room. A girl with bushy thick hair had just exited leaving them completely alone. Then she squared down like a gargoyle on the pot and looked sternly at Yuki. "Speak." Yuki wasn't even sure how to begin but he smallness of the stall was driving her crazy so she opened the latch and began to pace the floor near the sinks. The noise from the hall had begun to quiet down which meant that almost everyone would be at lunch by now. Yuki tried to find the words as Rainbow watched like a cat. " Ok so my Alice, I mean my roommate who's name is Alice. Well she got into something bad with some guy. Not sure who he is and we never see him. She said he only come out at night and he did thins for her and she liked him and whatnot and his same is Ash and he hurt her real bad. So now I'm trying to find out all I can about him and......." Rainbow had been picking at the dirt under her neon painted fingernails listening until she heard the name and stood up so suddenly that Yuki fell backwards into a sink. "Did you say Ash?" Yuki pulled her bottom out of the wet sink she wiped the water from her skirt. "Yes, but she dint tell me his last name or any real information to gon on. Does it sound familiar?" Rainbow stepped over to sink and leaned into it then peered at her reflection in the mirror. She took a bit of time to try and contemplate what she said next. " If it even is the same person who it probably isn't. He has been lost to us for some time now but in all places I didnt fathom that he would be here in this place and with me at the same time. It couldn't be him but then again it does sound like him and would be coincidence if it wasn't." Yuki's head was spinning as she tried to make sense of her yammering chaos. "What are you talking about?" Rainbow spun around and took a hold of Yuki's face in her with so much force hat she squished her cheeks into a duck face. "Ashberry Argo is my brother!"

"I see you went to see the nurse." Yuki plopped her bag into her desk and sat next to Alice on her bed. Alice had a few stitches and bandages but nothing to serious. She pulled the ice pack from her forehead and placed it on he bedside table then sat up to accept a sandwich from Yuki's outstretched arm. "Yeah, she told me to it easy today but I will able to get back to classes tomorrow. What joy!" Yuki didn't understand at first but then she recalled the sarcastic remark Rainbow had made earlier so she decided to laugh a little bit. Then she handed Alice her English homework and smiled at her. "Ok your being weird, what's up?" Yuki bounced with excitement on he bed as she spoke. " I talked to my friend Rainbow today and she told me that she knows who Ash may or may not be." Alice stuck her nose up and questioned the name of her called reliable source. "Rainbow? Really? Sounds like some of magical cloud dwelling fairy from Neverland. I'm not sure that I trust someone with a name like...... oh are you talking about that tissues weirdo you had in here the other night? That was like some queer as folk kinda stuff ya know." "Yes, wait what? Oh never mind. Listen! She says this guy might be her brother Ashberry." " Oh ok Sonia supposed to be a magical vagina seeking leprechaun?" Yuki was beginning to get upset and her voiced became to rise and deepen as she spoke. " I'm being serious and I really do want to help you but I cannot you dont take me seriously. I'm only just learning about sarcasm and at this point I am very incapable of doing it. I say every thing I am quite literally." Alice backed down and inhaled deeply. "Ok so what about him?" Yuki's excitement and anger all faded away as she sat down on the bed across from Alice. " I'm not really sure. She says he might be her brother but she hasn't seen him since she was a child and she also told me that he went away because of some bad things did. She has been looking for him all this time." Alice scooted towards the edge of the bed. " What kind of bad things?" Yuki shrugged, she didn't say. All I know is that he was locked away for a while. No idea where. She ran off before I could ask her." Both girls sat in silence for some time before Alice asked Yuki to help her to the bathroom for a shower. Yuki agreed and lead her into the smaller room and began to help remove her clothing as well as her own. Then she turned the water on to let the warm steam will the room. As Alice stepped under the shower Yuki held her hand to help her keep balance. Alice squeezed soap onto her life and began to was herself. She couldn't help but examine her body as she washed. There were small round bruises on each of her thighs, scraps and cuts on her knees and a few more deeply purple spots on her ribs and chest. She had clearly taken a beating that could have been so much worse. She couldn't even imagine the ordeal that befell her. When she was done washing Alice sat down in the tub and allowed Yuki to lather shampoo into her hair. There was still bits of dried blood caked in certain spoke that took some time for her to try and scrub out but she managed. Finally Yuki filled a small bucket with the warm water and spilled over Alice's hair several times making sure all the soap was washed away. Then she helped her out of the tub and wrapped a red fluffy fresh towel around her damaged body. "Do you need help dressing and getting into bed?" Alice stepped into her slippers and pulled her role tightly around her body. " No thanks, I'm sure I can manage now and I think I will just sleep nude. It will be easier that way." She gave Yuki a soft hug and slowly made her way out of the bathroom. Yuki was left alone to take her own shower. She pulled the plug and stepped under the shower and she cranked up the temperature for more heat and steam. The warmth calmed her as she began to wash herself of the days event. She closed her eyes and held one soapy hand over her breasts and began to rub her nipples until they were sensitive and erect. She let her other hand move down her torso much like his did. She slipped her fingers between her legs and found her spot. The soap made her feel sleak and soft. The feelings made her body jerk suddenly and she gasped in surprise. She decided that she loved the way her womanhood felt and allowed her finger to enter again and rub at her small nub just like he had. The tingle came almost as once as she fell into a rythmatic motion and nearly screamed as she came under he flow of water that washed away all evidence. She needed to place both hands on the tiled wall to keep herself from collapsing as she tried to steady her breathing and shake the dizziness. His touch was nothing like she had just done but what she had done was like nothing she had very done before. She fell into a deep sleep that night while clutching her black cross necklace in her hands with only one thought on her mind. What was blue boys name and why did he make her feel so good?
