Day 5: Friday

Rumi attended school after being temporarily discharged from the hospital, but that's when she encountered old guys with weeds.

"Hey pretty girl, come and hang out with us, we'll show you a good time." she stepped back from the three males while her knees were shaking. "I don't want to... please leave me alone." she shakily said to the three guys.

"Oh come'n, don't be scared and come with us—" he was about to grab Rumi's wrist when a voice interrupted him. "hey Rumi-chan~!" he casually walked in as he was now in the middle of the girl and the three males.

"Who're you? Not that I care, get lost man." one of them said. "I can't leave a pretty girl alone with guys like you with such a face, it's a crime."

Rumi blushed from Izaya's words, he thought of her as a pretty girl... it made her happy. "Guess you want some beating, punk." the man crackled his knuckles as Izaya smirked. "As if you can beat me." he said as it made her worried. "Orihara-kun!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." he assured her, "B-But... your up against three adults, you might get hurt!" she said.

"You're my girlfriend, aren't you? So shut up and be protected."

The man charged up to Izaya as he brought out his pocket knife and sliced the man's chest making it bleed. "Why do you have a knife?!" she yelled.

"For emergency," he said as he began to counter attack the adults, a memory played in Rumi's head as she flashed a smile. 'this scene happened already before... when I was being hit by the thugs.' she thought as she watched Izaya beat them up.

"I'm really in love with Orihara-kun, huh?" she mumbled to herself.

Izaya was laughing while jumping on the three man's back, Rumi just stared at him, dumbfound. "i-isn't that enough, Orihara-kun?"

"It's fun beating them like this." he said as Rumi sweat drop. 'Jeez... why did I fell him love with him again?'

"And Rumi-chan?" he said as she looked up to him. "What?" she said.

"Call me by my first name, Izaya."
