Chapter 1: Goodbyes

Have you ever felt that people only liked you for something they didn't have like money? That they were only your friends for your beauty, power, or fame. In my case it was just for pure beauty. I was never rich. Just kidding, but I ran away from that type of life.

Nobody understands me. Heck I was almost molested by my own father when he and mom got in an argument. I remember like it was yesterday.

***FLASHBACK***

An eight year old little girl was clutching her teddy bear tight while sobbing softly on her bed in her spacious room. There was a small white table in the middle of the room used for playing tea party. It had four chairs occupied with dolls while that table had all kinds of plastic pastries and a small tea set.

The two walls that parallel each other in her room had white shelves full of books, toys, movies, a TV, music box, and trophies from all kinds of beauty pageants.

The little girl wore a blue and white floral print dress. Her hair hung over her shoulder as silent tears raced down her rose petal cheek leaving a wet never ending trail of salt water. The girl was scared and upset of the fight going on down the stairs to the living room.

It wasn't a physical fight yet, but an emotional fight. The girl's parents we're having an argument since her father was supposedly not spending too much time with them. The fighting was getting more and more intense with both of them bringing up bad past as in cheating or abandoning into the arguments.

"You never took care of us. Jerry would've been a much better husband than you," yelled the girl's mother who was standing on one of the soft white couches. Her husband was fourteen yards away from her standing near another couch which was sideways to the TV in the front of the room.

"What do you mean by that? You know what just forget about it," he told her. With that he left the huge house that use to have a welcome home kind of feeling.

After the fight, everything in the house was really quiet. Mom was still in the living crying loudly. Dad still hasn't come here yet. I, who is the little girl; just fell asleep with dry tears on my cheek.

It was three o'clock in the morning by the looks of my clock when I heard shouts the living room again. Dad probably came home again drunk by the way his words slur as he yelled at my mother.

Me being the curious little girl as always shyly got out of my bed and opened the door. There I saw dad with a woman dressed disgustingly and mom telling them to get out of the house.

My dad snorted and yelled, "Fine you want me to kill her. I'll kill her." With that he grabbed a knife from -I don't know where-and stabbed the woman on the neck. My mom screamed while I was watching silently in horror up on the stairs.

"You are so loud. I will fix that." My dad grabbed and through a vase at mom which made her fall unconscious on the ground.

"Mom," I yelled.

Dad looked up at me with those foggy eyes. Next thing I knew, I was running to my room with my father chasing me. I entered the room a few seconds before dad entered. I was clutching my teddy bear backing away from my dad who stood near the door.

"Your mother told me that I am not spending too much time with my family," he told me. He started walking slowly towards me like the bad drunk guy he is.

I was scared. What was he going to do to me? Kill me like he did to the woman he brought. He just stabbed her when mom told him to get out .Or is he going to hit me with an object like he did to mother.

My eyes looked at him with fear. My dad smirked at me but it wasn't his usual smirk, it was more of a sadistic, determined, and hungry smirk to he wore. "Your mother told me that she wanted our family to bond and spends more time together. I am going to fulfill her wish my little girl," and with that he lunged at me.

***END OF FLASHBACK ***

I was currently walking down the street. It was already night. I could hear the clatter of small little insects hidden beneath the grass. There was a light breeze outside today. I was walking down the sidewalk and I stopped beneath one of those street lights that had a very dim light as if it was going to turn off any minute.

Tomorrow will be a very long day since school starts. My mother gave ojii-san enough money for me to go to the academy so I can look out for my little brother who goes to the academy as my mom travels to Germany. She is actually a movie director and is thinking to make a movie over there.

She was going to take my brother with her, but he just didn't want to. I saw my brother a couple of times. He was always nice to me but a bit cocky. To tell you the truth, the only reason he is nice to me is for my arrhenphobia or fear of men. But if it wasn't for that he would have made my life miserable. If you want to know my brother is the type person who can get very merciless.

I started walking back to ojii-san's house. As I pass, I was just silently saying my goodbyes to the world I lived in for about seven years. Knowing that I won't be coming here for a while, I just had to get to a special place. The very place I met my grandpa, the orphanage.

No I was not adopted. I actually live with my true ojii-san. When dad started to rape me, the police charged in through the door and took me here to this place while my mom was still in the hospital. The orphanage called Save Orphans Lives aka SOL took care of me while the police did the research of my family and also to get someone from my family if possible to care for me.

I was barely conscious of my surroundings as I walked toward SOL. I could hear cars all around me as I enter a city. Few people were up this late as I walked passing buildings without a second glance. A big thick gray hoodie covered my face and top area or my body while I wore some baggy gray sweatpants. For footwear I wore some DC dark shadow shoes. I prefer to wear some clothes that don't easily say that I am a female after a few bad experiences. I prefer people confusing me as a male even though I can barely even say hi to one.

When I looked up from the ground I could see SOL. It hasn't really changed much with a playground visible in a field not far off. It was peacefully quite now that I was in the country. Of course it took me a while for me to come here and possibly for me to go but it was worth it.

The building was a bit old but still quite presentable. Trees around the area were huge and thick as the branches and leaves silently told the wind a secret no one will ever know. I looked back one more time before I headed home for the big day tomorrow.

Once I made it home I dashed into the shower letting my muscle relax under the heavenly touch of warm steamy water on my skin.

I went toward my bed in my pajama and hoodie. Tomorrow is the day my brother and I are going to the academy. As I fell asleep the moment I hit the bed. I had the same nightmare that night of my past life which wasn't so pretty.

It has been nearly three hours since I woke up. All my clothes are pack and my room is clean. I had already ate breakfast and got dressed. I am just waiting for my brother to arrive.

"Mikan," ojii-san called out. I looked over to the door frame. Sure enough my ojii-san was standing there in a blue kimono. "I would to see you face once more before you go."

I stiffened at what he said and took off my hood of my hoodie and showed it to him for a few seconds until the door opened to reveal my brother and mom. I made sure my face was not noticeable as I put the hoodie back on. "Mom, brother, it is good to see you I," said in very low soft voice.

"Mikan," my mom murmured as she pulled me into a hug.

"Onee-chan," cried Youichi as he walked slowly towards me resisting running and jumping on my lap.

"Come Youichi. Come. I won't bite."

We all laughed at the little inside joke since I am actually the one who always treats any male including my family as if they have sharp teeth or fangs waiting to rip your head off, and here I am telling him there is no such thing to be wary about.

Next thing I know, Youichi has made it on my lap hugging me like crazy. Me being surprised start to feel uncomfortable and nervous around the embrace he has me in. I couldn't speak and my heart started to beat irregular as Youichi hugged me tight a bit longer and stared at me. I gave him a small smile and whispered a -I missed you- to him as I turned to look at my mom.

I smiled shyly at her. My mother smiled back at me. "Please take care of him while I am out to work. The limo will be coming here shortly if you were wondering, dear." She sat beside me on my bed. "Even though you and Youichi will be in different schools but in the same area I expect you to take care of him no matter what, alright Mikan." I gave her a small nod and got up as I heard a honk indicating that the limo has arrived.

"Bye mom, bye ojii-san," I whispered. "Bye mom, bye ojii-san," Youichi shouted as he cringed to mom's arm. Mom started crying as she waved us good bye when we headed down stairs to the door.

Outside was a sleek black limo waiting for me and Youichi to get out of the car. We both putted the suitcases in the bag of the limo. A man with broad shoulders and slightly blonde hair mixed up with the color yellow-green came walking towards me and Youichi.

"My name is Kazu, Kazu Yukihira or your Oji since I am your Otou-san's brother. It is really nice to meet you." He smiled at me while I just gaped at him then ran into the limo pulling Youichi with me. I looked at Youichi then settled a great distance between us in our seats.

Outside I could hear oji asking my mom what he did wrong. "You did nothing wrong Kazu-san. It is just that our little Mikan has a fear of men phobia after all these awful incidents."

I could barely hear what they were saying but I know one thing: oji looks exactly like dad but a bit more mature. I started to whimper while Youichi tentatively reach a hand to stroke my hair. I cowered a bit as his touch reach me but didn't do anything to stop him.

Oji entered the car and sat in front of Youichi. "Youichi, how old are you?" "I am seven oji," replied Youichi. "How about you Mikan, how old are you?" "Fifteen oji," I whispered. "Oh, so that means Youichi is going to elementary while Mikan goes to High School. Am I right kids?"

"Hai," both me and Yoichi answered.

After forty-five minutes being in the limo, there was silence. Youichi and oji made a bit conversation but as the ride progressed, so did Youichi cocky and arrogant attitude. His sentences were getting smaller but his pride is getting bigger.

It took about one hour and thirty-five minutes to get to the school. I could see some huge golden gates slowly opening. The road ahead of us was made out of white and cream stones shaped in a rectangle. Trees were on either side of the road. Not far you could see a huge school with at least three floors and an attic.

"Youichi, this is going to be your school. Since you are still in elementary and your sister is in high school, you both will be separated." Oji got out of the car and soon we followed behind him.

He showed us around the school. Each door was made out of some tough wood that was the color golden brown. The floor was a pale yellow tile color inside the classroom, hallways, and cafeteria. The wall was plain white and the windows were big and glossy that you could see your own reflection better than outside.

The dormitories were separated into girls and boys but it had the same pale yellow tile and plain white wall. All the doors leading to a room were golden brown.

Youichi room number was 368. His room had a twin bed with a red blanket and white sheets and pillow. It had red curtains covering the window and two medium size drawers.

We left the elementary section and moved toward the high school are. We arrived at the high school section which looked four times bigger than the elementary section. The roof of the high school were yellow and the floor outside was a rectangular cream colored stone. Inside the tile was a cream color as well.

My room had a king size bed with a golden blanket and white sheets. The curtains were a golden color like the blanket. I had a big drawer and small night table. There was a walk in closet in the room and small kitchen. I also had a normal sized bathroom. Outside I had a baloney near a fairly large tree.

"To conclude our tour this is your room. You do know where to find your classroom right." I nodded my head. "Good, if you need anything please come to me."

"Wait oji." I murmured.

"Hm."

"Can I wear my hoodie tomorrow for the whole year or life while I stay here."

"Sure. I will let the teachers know about that and your problem." With that he left.

Youichi and I were just sitting on the bed keeping each other company till night fell.

"Onee-chan?"

"What is it Youichi?"

"Can I stay here for a while?"

"Uh… Sure."

"Thank you Onee-chan." With that he curled into a ball against my back and fell asleep. Tomorrow is the start of a whole new year for me.
