"Renji? Where's Mizu-chan?" Yukimura asked, surprised to see Renji joining them for lunch without his girlfriend attached to his hip.
"I don't know. She's not at school." He said quietly. "I've already tried to call her. She either won't or can't answer. I've also sent a text message and left a voice mail."
"That doesn't sound good."
Renji sat down, staring down at his lunch. His hands were shaking some. "This isn't like her. I'm worried."
Yukimura exchange a look with Sanada, who had stopped eating upon Renji's arrival. "Skip practice. We're going to be worried as well until we know what's wrong." Renji stared at his friends. Sanada nodded.
"We are, and if you're distracted by this situation, you'll just end up running laps which isn't productive." Sanada said, returning his attention to his lunch.
Renji wasn't sure how he survived his classes, taking notes that were still far better than some students, but it didn't seem like they were his best. His skin just tingled with the knowledge that something was wrong. He didn't know how he knew, but he did.
After the dismissal bell rang, Renji hurriedly changed his shoes and practically ran to Mizu's house before he stopped and remembered what Mizu had told him had gone on the day before she spent the night at his house, and wondered if he shouldn't have brought Genichiro with him. Between two imposing six foot tall boys, that should have almost anyone at least respecting them. Renji took a deep breath and hoped that his height and the strength behind his lightly toned muscles would be enough to deal with anything that might happen.
Renji knocked on the door just loud enough for most normal people to hear. He frowned when after a few minutes no one came to the door. He tried the door, surprised to find it unlocked. He was suddenly glad he had taken some Judo before switching to tennis. Renji was so tense as he walked through the house. The things Mizu had told him about her parents lately were not the people he had met before.
"You think you're too good for us?!" Mizu's mother screamed at her, throwing a glass bottle at her daughter. Mizu dodged, but in the wrong direction and the bottle hit her in the head. "You left so you could fuck your little boy toy? You little slut!" Mizu was too scared to move, and her mother was approaching her, picking up a glass shard and holding it so tightly that she was cutting her own hand.
Mizu's vision swam in and out as the blow to her head was slowly taking consciousness away from her. She gasped as she felt the glass pierced her skin. It would have been worse had she not tried to dodge the attack. Her mother threw the shard away and just hit her daughter until Mizu was finally unconscious. "That'll teach you to be such a little whore." The woman kicked Mizu in the stomach and left.
Mizu's only thought as she lost consciousness was that she should had taken Renji up on his offer...
"Mizu? Shindo-san?" Renji called out, his skin tingling more and more, the bad feeling getting worse. He poked his head into a bedroom. It must have been her parent's room, as there was a double bed and was definitely decorated to a more adult taste. He was concerned no one was there, but at the same time relieved. He turned to the other door and opened it quietly. Slumped on the floor was Mizu, unconscious, covered in blood and bruises. "Mizu!"
Renji quickly made sure she was breathing and had a pulse and quickly called for an ambulance. This was far more disturbing and soul shaking to him than Yukimura's collapse back in junior high had been. He waited for the EMTs at the door, leading them to her. "I don't know how long she's been unconscious, I found her like this."
The head tech nodded. "We'll get her to the right help." He reassured the boy, as they took Mizu out.
Renji just stared after them, knowing he'd only be in the way. His cell phone rang, and brought him out of his thoughts. He answered it without even checking who was calling. "Yes?"
"Everything alright?" Yukimura asked.
"No." Renji said. "She..." He choked up. "Hospital." He managed to get out. "Seiichi, send Genichiro to her house, please. I'd rather not be alone here, and I'm planning on gathering up her things. She is NOT going to be coming back to this house."
Yukimura blinked, finally putting two and two together. "We'll both be there soon." He said, hanging up.
Renji started looking through Mizu's closet, looking for a suit case. He grabbed her school uniforms and folded them neatly, then grabbed some of her casual clothes. He turned to the dresser, blushing a little, but he wasn't willing for her to go without her undergarments. He started opening drawers and tossing things in without pausing to look. There was a loud knock on the door.
"Renji?" It was Genichiro.
"Back here!" Renji called to him, assuming Seiichi was right behind him. The other two boys joined him.
"What's going on?" Seiichi asked.
"Mizu...was unconscious when I found her. There were several bruises on her face, and I'm assuming in other places. There were cuts to the exposed parts of her neck." Renji wondered how he could sound so clinical at a time like this. "She said her parents were fighting the other day. Her mother was throwing things at her and her father. She spent the night before at my house. That's why I missed practice yesterday morning."
Sanada looked angry. That's not how parents were supposed to act. Seiichi rested his hand on Sanada's arm to calm him.
"You're not going to let her return here, are you?" Seiichi asked quietly, realizing Renji was entirely serious about that.
Renji just looked at him. "Would you if she was the person you cared most about?" He zipped up the suitcase and found a box and started putting some of Mizu's things in it, especially the things he knew she would want or need the most, including her purse and cell phone. "I just can't understand why." He said, picking up a few other things. "Let's go, guys."
His friends nodded, and left the house, hopefully for the last time. Renji pulled out his cell phone again and called his mother.
Tori jumped when the phone rang. Kana would have been at her job and Renji should be at tennis practice. She was rather shocked when she heard her son speaking to her. "Mother, there's....It's Mizu. She wasn't at school today, and I found her this afternoon, unconscious and beaten." Tori gasped. "I called the ambulance, and...I'm bringing her things home with me."
"Oh, Renji, I'm sorry." Tori said. "Of course."
"Seiichi and Genichiro are with me, and we'll there in about ten minutes."
"Alright, be careful." Tori said, hanging up. What in the world had happened between the previous morning and today?
The three boys came in the house, removing their shoes and setting their respective bags down near it. Tori greeted them, and gave her son a tight hug.
"Mother..."
"I don't care, you needed it. Go put her things in Kana's room. And don't argue right now, I know what I said yesterday." Tori said. The boys nodded and headed upstairs to do just that.
"We need to be going home ourselves." Seiichi squeezed Renji's shoulder. "If you need us, call." He said quietly, Sanada nodding behind him.
"Thanks. I...It means a lot to me." Renji said, showing them out, and finally falling on the couch. Tori brought him a cup of tea.
"You did the right thing." She said quietly as Renji sipped at the tea.
"I hope so. I...I can't bare to see her like that." He said, his hands still shaking some. "How could someone do that to their own child?" Yes, their family had some rough spots, but no one had ever been violent and injured anyone to that point.
"Sometimes people snap." Tori said, sighing sadly. "I know what you just said, but...You should go and find out how she is."
Renji closed his eyes tightly, still seeing Mizu the way he found her, his heart hurting, wishing that it was him instead. He bit his lip, a tear escaping. "We're the closest thing to family she has left." Tori reminded her son.
Renji looked up at his mother and nodded. "Mother, I know we're young, and Mizu still has another year of high school, but..." Renji took a deep breath. "I want to propose to her. I know it's a big step, but I know that she's the one and that will make it much more official."
"I always thought your sister would be engaged before you, but I understand how you feel. If you really believe it to be the right thing for you and her, go for it." Tori said. "You're going to face a lot of challenges though, but we'll help as much as we can. Now go to her, she needs you."
Renji nodded and ran out of the house.
