The Harlot's Truth

Kanzaki Aoi, my junior who I want to save from these bullies and possibly from herself and the men around her. It has been three weeks straight since Aiko-san and I were investigating about Kanzaki's rumor.

Kanzaki hasn't been seen since yesterday. We were just talking about her rumor and how it became such a thing but she never really told anything other than the things she said before. Aiko-san noticed it too, she has been avoiding the topic and trying to forget about it.

I am in class, sitting on my usual spot as I looked at the board in front of me. I sighed heavily just thinking about the events that happened these past few weeks.

Aiko-san did what I asked her to do and apparently, these guys were delinquents. They skip class, park somewhere and use drugs. Sometimes they'd gang up on highschool girls around dawn. The worst part is after the incident, these girls, the victims comes back to them to have the same thing. To be ganged up on, to be used on, to be raped.

To think such people existed in this school made my head hurt. I have not seen them nor do I know them, Aiko-san couldn't describe the look of the student and it seems like she didn't want to see it any longer.

I apologized to her more than once about letting her see such things. Though all she could say about them is that, they are from this school and a third year like me.

According to some students around, they don't just smoke drugs or rape girls, they also hurt people if they don't get what they want. This guy, a second year in this school, Mitsuhara-san. He was beaten up because he didn't want to give his girlfriend to any of them. While he was being beaten to death, the other guys raped his girlfriend infront of him. Ever since then, Mitsuhara-san's girlfriend stopped talking or even just to look at him. According to Aiko-san, she would always come to those delinquents for more pleasure.

It makes me worry for Kanzaki, where is she anyway?

[Kanzaki Aoi's POV]

Kagami Yuuta-senpai has been so kind to me, not like any senpai I have encountered. Shimizu-senpai is kind too but sometimes, she glares at me when I try to talk to Kagami-senpai.

When I met Kagami-senpai, at first I thought he was just wanting to use my body like any other guy in this world. Though, he didn't. He offered is hand to a dirty girl like me. He tried to help me like a person. I felt happy for once.

I was walking home at night when suddenly these men came at me. My vision darkened as my mouth were covered by hand. My limbs were immobilized. The next thing I knew was that I was at a dark room and suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my neck. I moved my head around as I tried to move when suddenly, I felt hot, I knew the feeling too well. I think I know who kidnapped me.

Those third year scums! They injected me with that drug again! I'm gonna be their toy again! I'm gonna be ruined again! I'm gonna....die! Kagami-senpai! Help me!

[Kagami Yuuta's POV]

It has been like two weeks since I saw Kanzaki, I'm really worried about her.

I have this feeling that something went wrong or maybe it's because I haven't eaten yet?

As soon as class ended and lunch break started, I went to buy my own food. I walk around with my food as I look at the time.

"Aiko-san.....I am worried about Kanzaki. It feels wrong since she hasn't been coming to school lately"

"Then why not visit her? You can ask some of her classmates for information" She said as she floated above me, resting her arms at my head.

"Good idea"

At the end of school day, I went around to Kanzaki's classroom and luckily, her class president was still here, cleaning.

"Excuse me, do you perhaps know the address of Kanzaki Aoi?"

Apparently she lives close to me, just two blocks from my side. I went to her home address. I was standing infront of her door, I rang the bell and waited until no one responded. I waited for fifteen minutes and continued to use the bell, I knocked as well but no answer.

"I knew something was wrong..."

Though after saying that, the door was open as I saw Kanzaki wearing nothing but her oversized shirt. Her hair was a mess and her face was not so well, she looked pale too.

"Kanzaki! Where have you been? You look so...unwell!"

I looked at her frail body and her messy hair, it seems like she was going through a lot of crap lately. When she was about to faint on me, I held her close and she reeked of alcohol and cigarette smoke. I then carried her as I enter her room. I placed her down to a comfy area to make sure she could rest. I look around as it seems no one is at home. Where are her parents or siblings?

"What on earth has this junior of mine gotten into?.."

"There is a possibility that it was because of the delinquents....she was a victim then" Aiko-san appeared and looked at her with pity.

I was worried more than this, she looked so exhausted and ruined. If it was true, if what Aiko-san was saying is true, then it gives me more reason not to forgive those bastards.

More than two hours has passed, I have been taking care of Kanzaki. Along with the help of Aiko-san who was handling her frail body, I was in charge of cooking her meals. When I looked at the family photo, it seems like they were a happy family and Kanzaki was a bright child then. I feel bad for her, I want to help her as she also experienced the same fate of being mistreated.

"Aiko-san....Is it wrong to think that I can save anyone?" I asked with a uncertain look.

"If I were to give you an answer, it a yes and no. You may try to save someone but you can't always be able to save everyone, you are not God, you are human so....remember your limits, Kagami-kun" She replied as she continued to wipe down Kanzaki's body.

I made sure that I remember those words, it is selfish of me to think that I can save anyone or everyone. Though it doesn't mean, I can't save this one person. I'll save Kanzaki Aoi and if I can do that, I can save the other female victims.
