I love playing with Karupin, and I'm so glad mommy got this new snake toy for him. Today has turned out to be a very good day. Daddy didn't wake me up with his loud voice this morning so I got to sleep in the whole morning. Mommy also didn't have work today so she cooked me a Japanese breakfast and it was the best. I can't say the same for lunch but I still ate it.

Then daddy said I could watch how the pros play in tennis. It was SO cool; daddy didn't let his opponent have a single point. Then I went inside to eat a snack and after I took a nap with Karupin. When I woke up dinner was almost ready so I watched T.V. until it was time.

Dinner was also really good but daddy kept calling me a brat because I wouldn't eat my carrots. Luckily Mommy started to yell at daddy and told him he had to be nicer to me. When dinner was over I went into the family room to play with Karupin and use his new snake toy.

I was having fun while mommy was washing the dishes and daddy was probably looking at his weird magazines again. That was when I heard someone walk up to the door and knock so I decided to answer the door for mommy. The person at the door started knocking more and louder the closer I got.

"Coming" Rinko yelled at the door, trying to find a stopping place to answer the door.

I heard Mommy say she was coming but I continued to open the door. Once I saw a man standing in front of me he looked down with a really angry face. He was carrying a sports bag so I thought he was one of Daddy's friends.

"Move it squirt" was all he said and he kicked me in the stomach really hard and I hit the wall beside me. I hit the wall and slid down onto my stomach in pain. It hurt so much but it hurt worse when he put his foot on my back and pushed me face first into the floor. "Hey brat where's your old man, I need to talk to him?" he said in a rough and low voice that made me more scared than before.

"Who are you?" I asked, "You aren't one of my Daddy's friends, are you?" The man grinned evilly down at me and said, "No kid, no I'm not but I have something I need to sort out with him and a brat like you isn't going to get in my way".

Rinko's POV

I saw Ryoma get up and head towards the door so I thought he was going to open it for me and hopefully bring the person inside to me. The silly little guy keeps trying to be like his father, I know he wants to be like him when he grows up in tennis but does he have to do everything like him? There was even this time during dinner when he started to copy Nanjiro's eating habits and I could'nt help but laugh at my two favorite men.

When I heard a big thud coming from where the front door is, I started to get curious thinking about what could have happened when Ryoma got the door. Maybe he fell over? That's when I really put down everything I was doing to look at what was going on at the front door. I mean I know I can be a bit of a worry wart but who can't be when my beloved little boy is involved.

I started to hear Ryoma's voice but he sounded like he was in a lot of pain, more than he should be if he just fell over. I picked up my pace and when I turned the corner I saw a man with one foot on top of my Ryoma giving a deathly glare at him. I raised my voice to a protective mothers and shrieked "What in god's name are you doing to my little boy, you monster"!

I ran towards Ryoma trying to pry him out from underneath the man towering over us. I started yanking on his leg to get him off but he pulled back and before I could react he kicked me into the wall. "Who are you calling a monster; it's your husband who is the monster"! With that said he kneed my head back into the wall and my vision was plagued with spots. Still groaning in pain I said, "What do you want here, why are you doing this"?

I hope you like it! Please Review! My first story so, please try to be nice with your words, thanks :)
