The man shouted, “Get out of here, you good-for-nothing bastard’s child. GET OUT!” Doors slammed. The baby wailed louder. There was the sound of footsteps, a scuffling in front of the door, and the door swung open. A girl with golden hair streaming out loose and tangled behind her, streaked out of the door, half-tripping as she scuffled to put on her shoes. She slammed the door behind her and ran off.

Coming to his senses, Mikai chased after her. “Kamura-senpai! Kamura Karin!”

They were nearly in the next block by the time he could catch hold of her arm and stop her. She swerved around, revealing her tears to him for the first time. Karin did not have her usual glasses, and her hair half-covered her bruised cheek; her cracked lips were swollen blistered. He knew the rest of her body must have fared worse. Though he half expected her to push him away, instead, she flung her head into his chest. Then did he realize how hard she was trembling, how frail and thin her shoulders seemed and how hard she was sobbing. Gently, he wrapped his arms around her, somehow sensing that she probably didn’t even have any recognition of who he was, that she just needed someone to lean against at that moment.

He held her without saying a word until she was calmer.

“Take me away from here, Mikai,” she whispered finally. She didn’t even look surprised to find him there.

“I’ll take you away, I’ll protect you, so don’t cry,” he murmured back. He knew that Karin always acted upon her own whim and impulse, that she had little use for him. But, more than anything, he wanted to do all that was within his power to make her smile, to wipe the tears from those soft rose-blushed cheeks. “Where do you want to go?”

“Anywhere.”

It didn't come out the way I wanted it to. *pout* Probably it was because I was experimenting and wasn't really paying attention to details. Mikai looks older instead of younger x_x maybe I'll do another version in the future.
