Kana was a very good student. She had good grades, good looks, and she was the most popular girl in school. She loved being praised by everyone. But out of everyone the one she loved the most was Yuichi. Yuichi was also popular. They had just started going out in the middle of their first term. Many of Kana's friends told her that Yuichi was using her. She thought they were jealous and that they just wanted Yuichi from theirselves. And thats when "It" happened.....
On a normal day of school it seemed like everything was perfect. Kana had gotten an "A" on her impossible math test and got a new record for track in p.e. Before she left school Kana thought her friends were acting strange.
"Kana i sense some bad vibes. I read your tea leaves at lunch yesterday remember?" said her best friend Iichi(pronounced E-shi) who was part of the "plan"
" Stop with all your freaky voodoo stuff Iichi. How many times do I have to tell you? I can't be seen hanging with you if your not popular! And you won't be popular until you stop the voodoo and become trendy like moi!"
Kana didn't care what Iichi had to say that day. It was only because she and Yuichi had a date. On the way home Kana passed an alley and a note fluttered down from a balcony yet no one was there. Kana picked it up with horror as she realized what the note meant.
"WE HAVE YUICHI. DONT TELL THE COPS. IF YOU WISH HIM TO LIVE, GO TO THE WAREHOUSE DOWN THE STREET. WE WILL THEN TELL YOU OUR TERMS"
In shock she ran to the ware house. 'Someone has kidnapped Yuichi!Those sick people! She thought.' As she got inside the warehouse the door slammed shut behind her. A chair in front of her swiveled and it had Yuichi tied to the chair! She panicked as some peoples hands grabbed her arms and brought her to one side of the warehouse. On the other side stood one of the criminals with Yuichi and a knife.
" Kana to spare Yuichi's life you must walk across fire!"
"What fire?" Kana asked.
The criminal that had Yuichi with them snapped their fingers and a huge fire began in the middle. Right between Kana and Yuichi. The hands let go of Kana but the people went to go gaurd the door instead to make sure she wouldnt go tell the cops.
"That fire. This is to prove how some people see you in their eyes."
Even though Yuichi was blindfolded and tied to the chair he yelled and tried to break free but it was no use.
"Fine, if it's for Yuichi"
Kana started to walk trough the fire but she had taken off her shoes first so the fire woulnd't spread up her body as much.
The fire burned her feet. She kept on though, because in the end it was for Yuichi. That's all that mattered.
When the criminal realized that there was no stopping Kana she took off Yuichi's blindfold and before slipping away she said "Kana remember to forgvie after this..."
Kana thought she had heard the voice somewhere before but it didn't matter! She got to Yuichi and he was safe! She fell at her kness and started crying from pain and relief.

~ The Hospital Bed ~

Kana woke up to someone squeezing her hand and bandaged, swollen feet.
"Good your awake!" smiled Yuichi as Kana sat up happy to see him.
But then the doctor walked into the room.
"I'd like to have a word with Kana please." He said
"No no he's fine he can here it too." she said noticing that Yuichi was unharmed.
" Ok then. You suffering from third degree burns from the house fire you experieneced." Kana looked over at Yuichi thinking 'house fire?' He just winked at her then she remembered ' oh right they told us not to get the police invovled.' " The burns are very bad. We suspect you won't be able to walk again, but there is a slim chance. I must go inform your parents. Good day" The doctor finished, bowed, and walked out.
As soon as he left Yuichi stood up.
" You filthy wench!" he said under his breath.
" Yuichi? Is everything ok?" Kana said starting to get frightened.
Yuichi slapped her and started walking away from the bed.
" Yuichi! Stop! What's wrong?!?!" she started to cry from the new sting of pain on her cheek.
"EVERYTHING IS NOT OK! WHILE YOUR 'SICK IN BED' YOU WILL BE LIKE A LITTLE MOUCH AND WASTE MY LIFE BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON YOU HAND AND YOUR BURNED UP STUBS YOU CALL FEET! SCREW THIS! I'M GETTING A REAL RELATIONSHIP WHERE EVERYTHING IS WIN-WIN!" he screamed at her.
Kana could feel her cheeks get wet as she started panicking and crying even harder.
"YUICHI IT WON'T BE LIKE THAT! I PROMISE YOU!" as he had already walked out the door she got out of bed and tryed to stand up and run after him. Instead she fell on the floor and continued screaming even though nurses rushed in from the call light going off from her iv being ripped out. "YUICHI! YUICHI STOP PLEASE! YUICHI COME BACK!YUICHIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The next thing she felt was a twinge of pain in her arm. She had been given a shot so she would sleep and her levels wouldnt rise any higher. Even if the pain from the shot went away quickly, Kana knew nothing could take away the burning feeling from her feet, and now her broken heart...
