I really hope giving a bath to him is always this easy. I was afraid he would cry but he didn't. He would sit making it easy for me to give him a bath. He plays with some toy that he brings along and focuses on it while I bathe him. He is really a good child. I change three or four outfits a day to keep him clean. Dannon is very understanding and I think is too clever for his age.

But that doesn't stop him from throwing tantrums. He always does that with me but calms down reasonably. Taking caring of him is fun and I enjoy because I love him but nevertheless it is tiring. Sometimes while putting him to sleep I too doze off.

At night he cries sometimes for milk and on one such night he felt like playing after his belly was fully. I was already sleepy and tired from the college work which was more that day. I couldn't stay awake and play with him for long.

Gouenji found me that day and said he expected something like that since Dannon was asleep most of the day and he knows the works and reports I had to do that day. He found Dannon playing beside me calmly in order to not wake me up. When he tried to lift me up and put me on the bed in my room, Dannon acted as my bodyguard and didn't let him touch me. I thought it was funny when he told me.

To know that he is protective about me make me really happy. I love him very much. He is a very unique kid. I still can't find the reason for his peculiar behavior. He is still expressionless with other people except me and doesn't go to them. He does go to Gouenji though. He explained that he used to play with him from his childhood but still Dannon doesn't play with him much. He is still expressionless but goes to him willingly. I wonder what does playing mean in master's dictionary!

It's a free period now before lunch and Kidou disappeared somewhere. Others have classes so Gouenji and I are the only one left. Today itself we submitted many reports and have nothing for the coming few days. So we are free now! I suggested that we go around the college since we have free time. Our college is very vast and I haven't explored it much. I like exploring and with master I am sure we can find our way back easily!

I dress Dannon adorably. I went to shopping and bought a lot of cute clothes for Dannon! All of them a re so adorable and I take a photo after dressing him up. After having enough photos I will put them together in an album. He will look ultra cute! Today was a little chilly so after dressing him up I covered with with a red sweater which basically covered everything and made him look very cute like a parcel. I couldn't help but take a photo and add it to the collection. I am pretty sure after he wakes up he takes it off since that sweater doesn't allow his hands outside! He is very active and so that is only for when he is asleep. That first I put him in that he looked adorably cute not knowing what to do since he couldn't get his hands out. Deciding to help him I took it off but the next time when I decided to tease him by putting it on he got it off in less than five minutes proving that he is Dannon, a smart kid.

We walked along and we came to a place I already saw once but don't remember when exactly.

"It would be better if we don't go this way." Gouenji commented.

"Why?" I asked curious.

"These places are rather secluded and provide privacy so some people use it for other things."

"Like?"

We heard some voices coming from the said direction. Not talking but some weird sounds.

"Are they growing animals here?"

He chuckled immediately. "No, I assume they are having a quickie." Oh! He chuckled again! Wait!

"Quickie?" I asked confused but when those voices became louder, a male and a female to be exact and putting my bookish knowledge into application I understood what it meant and I blushed embarrassed.

"You are so innocent." He said pinching my cheeks. When did he become this close with me? He reveals streaks like this sometime surprising me and suddenly a memory flashed.

"I know you!" I said smiling.

He raised an eyebrow at this. "Yes, I believe we've been together for sometime so you know me."

"No, no that's not what I meant! I met you last year. Everyone asked how I didn't know you but the truth is I knew you but just forgot."

"Care to enlighten me on how you met me?"

"Ah! Yeah. That was a little before the end of last year, I think just an exam left to complete the year. I had free time and wanted to study alone. Library was completely full and I couldn't find some peace in it. I could have gone back to my apartment but I didn't feel like it so I moved around trying to find a peaceful location and I stumbled to this area. It was very silent, even my foot steps could be echoed so I even walked slowly and opened this door where I found a girl barely dressed standing before a guy. I was rather shocked at the scene and stood rooted. I didn't know if I should say sorry for interrupting and run away which would basically mean continue with whatever you are doing which didn't appeal to me but I didn't know what to say or do if I stayed there so I just stood there like an idiot. That girl said that she wanted him, desired him for long and even a single time would be enough and the guy just looked at her blankly and said he was not interested. That guy was you! I didn't know you then and I didn't pay much attention to you but I really admired you then for not giving in. You sure were great then. Of course now too."

"And?"

"And what?"

"You told me half of the story. You left the other half. When I refused her she asked me how can I reject such a beautiful woman like her. Then I turned  to you and asked what did you think of her." Is it just me or is he moving close to me? I moved back unconsciously trying to give some space but he kept moving forward till I was trapped between the wall and him. "Your expression was priceless. You looked like a deer caught in the headlights. You said and I quote "I am ashamed to be a girl. Please forget that I am girl now." Then she got angry and turned glaring at you. You replied, "Yikes! I told the truth. I am sorry!" which reddened her further in anger." He was so close to me and I could see the amusement in his eyes. I think he found my words entertaining.

"You remember?" I asked surprised.

"How can I forget? It was too hilarious, your expression in particular."

"Hey! I was too surprised and caught in surprise that I just blurted the truth. Normally I would keep quiet. Wait a second! I remember now! After I confessed that I blurted out the truth by accident you chuckled and left leaving her with me. She looked so angry and pissed at me. I thought she would kill and it was such a secluded place that none would have helped me even if I cried for help! How could you leave me with her?" I asked enraged. "You left me just like that with a barely dressed demon. I was so scared that I just ran away to my apartment without looking back."

We were so busy in our conversation that we forgot to get away from this place. Neither did we notice that the sounds stopped nor the shuffling inside. But then the door slided opening turning our attention there and out came Olivia with.... Steven? What is he doing here?

"Steven? What are you doing here?" I blurted out again. I was so involved in our conversation reminiscing the past that I forgot what led to this conversation and what sound we heard before. Unfortunately I remembered after I blurted out the question. He looked a little disheveled and his clothes though tried best to smoothen were a little folded telling me from my bookish knowledge what really happened.

"Oh that!" He said trying to find a reason. "I came here to have a talk with you."

"Me?" What is he saying now in his desperate attempt to cover?

"Yeah, last time I met you I thought you were interesting." Should have tried to come up with a better lie. "I wanted to meet Gouenji too. He is a bright student and coming up leader. I just wanted to have a chat with you guys so I came here. But then I met her and she had some doubts so I was explaining to her." We know what doubts she has dude! "I thought this was a good place but then something indecent was happening here so we thought of leaving and we came out to find you." He said. Hmm! He concocted a story in such a short time! I really have to appreciate him!

"Oh is that so!" I said smiling at him good naturedly. Gouenji shot me a look which looked normal to any outsiders but I know that look meant 'You really believed what he said?' "It's good to see you again." I said smiling that natural smile again. Though I don't support what he did, I have no say in it. He is a stranger and what he does is really none of my business! I don't want him to know that I know what really happened. It would just turn things awkward. It's best to let him think I have no clue. His smile broadened at my words satisfied that I believed his lies.

"Astrea!" Gouenji called. "You said you wanted to meet G. It's almost lunch time so go and wait for her. I will be entertaining our guest since he wants to have a chat with me too."

"Ah! Yes. I will be going then. Bye!" I said leaving immediately since I am in no mood to entertain Steven. I am afraid my distaste towards him will be known if I stay here any further.

"Let's meet again." Steven said and I smiled fakely at him.

"Okay."

'I will try to escape as discreetly as possible.' I thought and started walking away from them.

I am not really sure which way to go to get out but I am sure I will get out from her though I might go in rounds so I didn't panic. Suddenly a hand came out and pulled me into a room closing the door behind me. I was scared and surprised at the attack and tried to free myself from the attacker. That seemed to anger him and he pushed me onto the wall with so much force and I winced at that. I think the wall has something on its surface and it pierced my back when I was against it with brutal force. I hope it didn't injure my kidney since I think kidney would be around that area.

The injury is painful and I am sure that I am bleeding. A lot actually! My back was to the wall and the attacker pinned me to it and he stood before me caging me in. My head too was hit with quite a force. If not for the sharp object on the surface my head would be the only to have suffered. As I told you he slammed to the wall with a very raw and brutal force and so I felt immense pain in my head. It doesn't help that I already had a mild concussion before from the accident. Hope my little brain is okay in there!

I looked at him wincing and through my hazy eyes to look at who was doing this to me? Whom did I offend to do this to me? It was the bully with whom I argued a few days back. He was the one who called Daniel deaf constantly and bullied him. I never thought he would take this to heart! I just told him the truth and I didn't seriously scold him too! What is he trying to do?

When I tried to push him away he took hold of my hands and pinned them above me. His hold was too brutal and I am sure that they will leave marks on me! I tried struggling against him but it was no use against his bulky self and my injury isn't helping either! I don't think I described this bully earlier but he is an okay looking guy with a heavy build like from the www fighters! My left hand started to pain so much from his hold which is taking the major impact from his hold which was also the one recently healed from the fracture. By now I lost all my strength and pain erupted all over. MY brain is fuzzy and I could feel that I would lose my consciousness soon.

"What are you doing?" I shrieked.

"Don't shout! No one would be here to even listen to you."

"What do you want?" My voice turned low and feeble with the lack of strength.

"You!" He said holding both my hands in one and trailing the other hand down. I lifted my leg to knee him in the shin but he caught my movement and stepped on my leg full force not letting me lift it.

"Ahhh!" I cried out in pain. If only my head was not in pain and I could think clearly I would ahve taken him down in no time! The injuries inflicted on me now and the injuries from the accident are still a little fresh aiding the pain and acting against me.

"Nice try! But it doesn't work!" He said smiling sadistically at me and tearing my shirt. It's too much pain. I have to think smartly and escape but how?

"You have all of the rich guys in our college wrapped around your hands! You are such a witch! Acting like you are rescuing Daniel from me you even got him. You don't leave even one guy huh? Sleeping with them and getting money! You sure have a good life but do they satisfy you? How about I satisfy you?

You have such a good figure and look sexy. Let me also have a go! You are habituated to it anyway aren't you? I will even pay you! Listen to me and you will have a good time or else you will suffer. I will pay you good! I am quite rich too! Aren't you good at seducing? Seduce me and show me a good time."

He said moving too close to me touching my body disgusting me. He held both my hands above me with a single hand and the other hand moved to my chest making me feel as if worms are crawling on my body! I started seeing spots and my vision is hazy! Oh no! Somehow I am close to fainting! This bulky guy injured me too much and my body is having way too much pain. If I don't something immediately I will faint and he will have his way with me! That can't happen.

^Gouenji's POV^

 Such a naive girl she is! Different from every girl I faced! Very pure, sweet and innocent! But not that innocent since I could say that the smile she gave Steven is a fake one. It could have fooled anyone that she believed what he said but I know that she is faking that smile. But knowing her that fake smile is to avoid awkwardness. I watched her leave and turned to Steven. I don't feel good about him.

"So what it is it that you want to talk about?" I said cutting it short. I was never one to beat around the bush!

"Nothing! Just wanted to have a chat. We didn't talk much after Fidio introduced us. I just came here because I had free time. I asked her about you guys and she said she has something interesting that she knows about Destiny. What is it? I didn't have the time to ask you. I was busy tutoring you."

Don't you mean too busy fucking her?

"Ah yes! I do!" Olivia said trying to take my hand and I dodged. I am very experienced at getting away from females like her.

"Follow me." She said rolling her eyes and strutting before us. "You will see the true colours of Destiny who is deceiving you all with her acting skills."

Oh! What is it this time? I groaned internally but I know none of this shows outside. After years of experience from this cruel world and the ruthless business world I mastered my poker face and I never to lose composure at any situations except.....What's this crowd? We walked behind Olivia in these isolated areas which is now filled with people. All of them are watching something calmly some even taking video. I wonder what drama is going on this time? These people never mind their own business and love gossiping.

"....................wrapped around your hands! You are such a witch! Acting like you are rescuing Daniel from me you even got him. You don't leave even one guy huh? Sleeping with them and getting money! You sure have a good life but do they satisfy you? How about I satisfy you?

You have such a good figure and look sexy. Let me also have a go! You are habituated to it anyway aren't you? I will even pay you! Listen to me and you will have a good time or else you will suffer. I will pay you good! I am quite rich too! Aren't you good at seducing? Seduce me and show me a good time."

My heart is beating erratically and something tells me this is not correct. We passed through the crowd and reached a room. This room has a peculiar design. It is sort of like an underground room and we can go to the room above it and can see what is happening in there. But the people in the room cannot see the people down here or know of its existence unless you know about it previously. The connection between these rooms is well hidden. I don't know why such a room is there in college isolated area but I found about it the day I was examining the college building. I have this habit of knowing about anything to the perfection and hence I know about it. I wonder how Olivia knows about it! She is not that much brains! Finally I looked up and what I saw almost stopped my heart. Our gang too just reached now and Kidou looked at me questioning if I knew something about this and I shrugged.

Destiny stood there with her shirt ripped and caged in by Robin. What she said after that shocked me further.

"Do you really think you can rape me at the isolated side of ***** college in ****. Since you say you know me why not go to my apartment after the college to have some good time." And people gasped. Olivia smirked at this in triumph and I started climbing the stairs in anger. I am too furious which cannot be controlled by anyone. She is dead!

The drama! Do you think Gouenji believes that she is like all the other females now? What will happen now?
