Hardships

�Class I will now hand you your results from yesterday�s quiz,� the professor announced.

Cye didn�t pay much attention in class lately. Too many things were swimming in his head. The last time he met Hana again, she was distraught. He never saw her so upset before that he couldn�t really do anything but comfort her. To have her shunned from her family, that�s the most horrible thing a person can experience. All he could do was let her be for a bit and let time heal the wounds in her heart as much as possible.

�Cye Mouri, not very impressive. Please see me after class,� the professor said.

Cye looked down at his test and saw a C written in red in the corner. He gave a loud sigh and stuck it in his folder with the rest of his papers for that class. Class ended and Cye packed his things slowly. After all the students left the classroom he went up to the professor.

�You wanted to see me?� he asked.

�Cye, you work lately has been... how can I put this, not as I expected from you. Your grades that you are getting on assignments are horrible. Is there anything wrong?� the professor asked.

�I�m just having some family issues right now. It�s hard to concentrate when so much is going on right now. I�m terribly sorry.�

�I understand. I do hope though, that the problems will cease and that you will be back on top again.�

�Yes sir.�

The professor smiled and patted Cye on the shoulder. �You are a good student Cye. I hate to see the best fall.�

�Thank you sir.�

Cye left the classroom and walked slowly down the hall. The teachers here expect so much from him, but the way things are going right now, what can he do? What will he do?

�Cye?� said a soft voice from behind him.

�Huh? Oh, hi Natsumi,� Cye said.

�You haven�t been yourself lately. Is anything wrong?�

�No.... well.... it�s Hana....�

�Did she......... break up with you?�

�What? Oh no. Nothing like that. Hana is just going through some tough times.�

�Oh.... I see...�

�I don�t know what to do for her. I love her so much and I hate seeing her the way she is.� Cye clenched a fist and shook it at his side.

�Well..... just being there for her....... is the best thing you can do.�

�I know. I just want to do so much more for her.�

Natsumi didn�t say anything and just stood there.

�I�m sorry Natsumi..... I shouldn�t be telling you these things.�

�It�s okay....... I�m happy that you telling me this.�

�You are?�

�Yes....... I like you very much Cye....... I don�t want to see you down.�

Cye smiled weakly and patted Natsumi�s head. �Thank you Natsumi. You are a good friend.� Cye continued walking down the hallway, leaving Natsumi standing where she was.

�I�m.... just a friend.......� Natsumi said to herself.

Cye got outside in the bright sun light and wandered over to the tree where he usually sits under. He put his bag down and just lay on the grass, look up into the cloudless sky. It was such a beautiful, cloud free day. Everyone was feeling happy and full of energy. Cye closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

�One night, my Uncle and my Aunt were discussing about how my parents were always careless. It made me really mad. That�s when I realized that I could destroy things around me, just because of my emotion. My Aunt�s dining room was destroyed because of me. My Aunt totally went mad and told me that I was the spawn of Satan. She told me to get out of her house and to stay away from their family. That happened recently....... that�s why I came back here.�

Why? Why must Hana face such horrible events in her life? Why must she go through so much pain and sorrow. What worse is that I can�t do anything for her........... I�m useless......

�It�s because of this new power that my life has turned for the worse....� Hana sobbed.

Why did Shijisha leave some of her power behind? To punish Hana for destroying her plans of world domination? Is that it? What can I do to change that around? There has to be a way..........

�Cye? CYE!�

�Huh? Wha?� Cye opened his eyes to see Kento leaning towards him.

�Dude are you okay?� Kento asked.

�Yeah. Why?�

�You were sweating up a storm. Not to mention you were talking in your sleep.�

�I was?�

�Yeah.�

�So Hana has powers now?� Ryo asked who was leaning against the tree.

�Yeah......� Cye said.

�I had no idea that her family disowned her. What a bunch of creeps,� Kento said, sitting up.

�We can�t do anything about that now. What we can do for her, is change the outlook on things,� Ryo said.

�How?� Cye asked.

�She has this new power, but she doesn�t know how to channel it, let along control it when it gets out of control. What needs to be done is teaching her how to channel her powers. Make them useful to her instead of making them destroy her,� Ryo said.

�I see.� Cye said.

�That�s what you can do for her Cye. Teach her how to use her powers,� Kento said.

�I guess....�

�Go to her after school and suggest it. If she declines, force it on her,� Kento said loudly.

�No Kento. Force will just make it worse. Cye needs to do it gently and calmly,� Ryo said with a firm voice.

�I�ll do it. I�ll go to her after school and set things right. I can�t just sit here and expect things to magically make everything right in the world. I have to be by her side and make sure everything goes just the way she wants it,� Cye said.

�That�s the spirit buddy!� Kento said and slapped Cye on the back.

Cye coughed from the slap and got up. �I don�t have anymore classes for the day. I�m heading over now.�

�Good luck Cye,� Ryo said.

Cye nodded and headed for his car. Ryo and Kento watched as Cye drove off and out of sight.

�Cye is a good guy. Caring so much for his girl,� Kento said.

Ryo didn�t say anything, just starred out at the horizon.

Cye raced to Hana�s place as fast as he could. Once he was there he stopped at Hana�s apartment door. He was here once before, when Hana let him in and he spent the night. Cye blushed a little and knocked on the door. There was no answer so he knocked again. The second time he knocked, the door creaked open.

�Why is the door unlocked?� Cye questioned. He walked in slowly and realized that there was no light on in the place. Everything was dark and lifeless. �Hana! Are you home?� The was no answer again. Cye started to get nervous and headed toward the bedroom. When he peeked in, he saw Hana laying on the floor covered in blood. �HANA!� Cye ran to her side and picked her up. Blood dripped on the floor and Cye�s pants. Cye�s eyes widened at the state she was in and took her to the bathroom. Once he was in the room he rested her on the floor and took her clothes off. Luckily there wasn�t as many cuts on her as he thought. Sage wasn�t in the area so he couldn�t call him. He went out into his car and fetched his first aid kit. Cye carefully wrapped the bandage around mid section and tied a knot. �What could have happened to you?� he wondered. Cye picked Hana up and brought her back to her room where he rested her in bed. He pulled the covers over her body and sat at the edge of the bed.

�She looks exhausted. What happened Hana? Why were you covered in blood?�

Hana stirred in her sleep and rested a hand on Cye�s. �I was....� she said softly.

�Hana? Are you awake?� Cye asked.

Hana opened her eyes a little and smiled. �Hey Cye..... what brings her here?�

�Never mind that. You were laying on the floor unconscious and covered in blood. You had a cut in you mid section.�

Hana smiled. �I guess it didn�t work then huh?�

�What didn�t work?�

�I wanted to show....... that I could control the evil within me.....�

�The evil? You mean your powers?�

Hana nodded slowly. �It didn�t work....�

�Hana, listen to me and listen to me carefully. The powers you possess aren�t bad. You just need to learn how to channel them correctly. You can use your powers to do good. Just like me and my armor,� Cye said, grabbing Hana�s left hand. �Hana, I know what you were trying to do. I�m glad it didn�t work because if I lost you, I would be torn to pieces. You are my world Hana.�

�Cye........�

�Get some rest. You need to let that wound heal.�

�But.........�

�I don�t want to hear it. I�ll stay with you if it makes you feel better.�

�Cye...... please..... don�t ever leave me.......�

�I won�t. I promise you.�

Hana smiled and closed her eyes.
�Sleep well Hana.�
A knock came an hour later. Cye opened the door to find Ryo and Kento standing there.

�Cye we got your message. What�s up?� Ryo asked.

�Hana....... she�s hurt,� Cye said.

�What? What happened?� Kento asked.

�Come in and sit down and I�ll tell you,� Cye said.

The two of them walked into the apartment and sat down on the couch. Cye sat in the armchair and closed his eyes.

�Dude, what happened?� Kento asked.

�Hana tried to commit suicide,� Cye said shakily.

�Suicide?!� Kento shouted.

�Shhhh. She said that she was training. But I knew what she was doing. It was a good thing I got here when I did. If I was any later, we might have lost her,� Cye said, tears running down his cheeks.

�Cye.....�

�Is she alright now?� Ryo asked.

�Yes. She is sleeping,� Cye responded.

�That�s good.�

�I never imagined Hana to be that kind of person,� Kento said.

�Well Kento, when things get out of hand and you can�t think straight, of course you�ll try to do something crazy,� Ryo said.

�I don�t know what to do guys,� Cye said. �I can�t stand seeing her like this.�

�Cye, you are doing the best you can. You are here with her now, that�s good enough,� Kento said.

�It doesn�t seem that way.�

�Cye, you are the only person who can help her now,� Ryo said. �You have to have confidence that you will pull her out of this hole that she is in.�

Cye nodded and wiped his tears from his face. �I�m sorry guys. I know you have better things to do than to sit here and watch me cry.�

�Don�t sweat it pal. That�s what we are here for, to be here when you need us,� Kento said.

Cye smiled and got up from the chair. �Do you guys want anything to drink?�

�Water is fine,� Ryo said.

�Do you have any food?� Kento asked. �I�m starving.�

�Kento you don�t ask that type of thing in someone else�s house,� Ryo said.

�It�s fine,� Cye laughed. �I�m sure I can fix him up something.�

�Oh yeah! Cye�s cooking here I come!� Kento shouted.

Ryo just shook his head and smiled.
After having some rice balls and some miso soup, Ryo and Kento said goodbye to Cye around ten at night. Once seeing his friends out the door, Cye walked back to Hana�s room and sat at the edge of the bed. Cye watched Hana as she slept peacefully then frowned.

�Hana, why would you go and try to kill yourself?� Cye thought to himself. �If I hadn�t come in time, you might not be here with me.......�

�You are still here?� a voice said. Cye looked to his left and saw Hana starring at him.

�Of course I am. I wouldn�t leave you now. Not in the state that you are in,� Cye said.

Hana smiled. �I�m sorry Cye.�

�Hana, as soon as you are better, you and I are going to train. We are going to make those powers of yours useful.�

�That�s good to hear..... but it won�t fill in the hole in my heart.�

�I know that and I understand. But I don�t want you to go and do something like you did earlier.�

�I won�t. I promise.�

�Good. Now are you hungry? I made some rice balls. Kento and Ryo were here earlier.�

�They were?�

�I was worried about you Hana. I didn�t know what to do.�

Hana didn�t say anything and just looked to the side. �I�m sorry Cye. For causing you so much trouble again.�

�You didn�t cause me any trouble Hana. You are going through a tough time right now.�

�But I keep hurting you.�

�It�s fine. Look, I�m going to go and get you some rice balls. Stay in bed.�

Cye got up and walked out of the room. Hana just sighed to herself and looked up at the ceiling.

�Cye, you try so hard to make me feel better. I really am a pain to you but you just won�t admit it. Your heart is probably hurting right now from earlier,� she thought to herself.

�I�m back,� Cye said, holding a plate of three rice balls and a glass of water.

�Thank you Cye,� Hana smiled.

Cye set the plate on her lap and set the glass of water on the side table. Hana took a small bite and just chewed slowly.

�That Natsumi girl seems to like you a lot,� Hana said between bites.

�Yes, she does,� Cye said.

�She seemed upset when she saw me for the first time.�

�Natsumi has a crush on me.�

�I see. Do you like her?�

�As a friend Hana, nothing more.�

�I know, I thought I would just ask.�

Cye smiled and took the plate away from her when she was done.

�You are the only girl for me Hana,� Cye said as he lightly kissed her on the lips.

�You are the only man for me Cye,� Hana said.

�I�ll stay overnight if you wish. I�m kinda nervous just leaving you here alone,� Cye said.

�You don�t have to,� Hana said.

�But I want to.�

Cye took off his shirt and rested next to Hana. Hana draped her arms around Cye�s torso and closed her eyes. His body heat making her warm inside that she fell asleep again. Cye kissed her forehead and closed his eyes as well. Sleep finally overcame him and he too went into a deep sleep.
