Why are Erika and Walker so messed up? Are their parents horrible like all the other families in that show? How did they get where they are now?

I own the OC's but nothing more

Walker - age 5

Walker Yumasaki sat on the living room floor coloring a picture, listening to his parents talking about dinner. Everything was normal, just like it always is. Nothing ever changes in his life. His mother was a behavioral phycologist and his father was a counselor for the local high school so every night they would talk about how their people would behave. They didn't have to do anything for him, Walker was always behaved.

There was a knock on the door. His mother walked past him to answer it, Walker never looked up from his work. He could hear muffled voiced in the other room but not what they were saying. It didn't really matter because his parents didn't believe in keeping secrects because they believed it would create a mistrusting relationship between parent and child.

"Walker" his mother called his name as she walked into the room "Erika-chan is here. Why don't you two go out and play". As she walked back into the the kitchen to start dinner, Erika walked into the room. This time walker did look up from his work. When he saw her he smiled and said "Karisawa" to which she replied "Yumasaki". He got up and put his supplies away. The two then didn't call each other with formalities like san or chan, but they didn't refer to each other by their given name either. There wasn't any reason for this, it's just happened.

Walker took his coloring pad with him and headed for the door with Erika. His father poked his head out into the hallway and Walker stopped to hear what he had to say "you guys have fun and be safe, don't go to far and dont' talk to strangers" "honey" his mother interupted "just let them play. We've told Walker all this before and it's good to let children have freedom and explore. If they do not-" Walker was already outside. He had heard his mother and father talk about the proper way to raise a child a hundred times before.

He and Erika walked in silence. They both knew where they were going, to the secrect hiding place where they did everything. They didn't want anyone to overhear them or spy on what they were doing. After 15 minutes they got there, a building that was once factory but had been long abandoned. There was a fence around the build but that was no problem, the two of them simply slipped through a hole that had been made a long time ago.

After they got in, the two of them snuck up to the office that they had claimed as theirs. Erika plopped down on the pillow that she had brought from her house. Both of them had supplied stuff to make their club seem more comfortable. Walker decided to show Erika the picture that he was drawing. When he showed it to her she looked at it for a minute, turned her head to the side and smiled, she liked it. She took some tape that he had brought an put it on the wall. He took pride in that. The picture was of one person stabbing another in the chest while there were blooding bodies all around. His parents always complained that he never showed them his pictures but Erika was the only person worthy of seeing them. Maybe someday they would get to see them but right now Erika was the only one.

"Yumasaki" Erika said, looking at Walker. He took the pillow beside her, it was time for them to get down to business. Walker waited for Erika to start. It was her turn to come up with the game. Erika got up on her knees and said "so in school Kinchi was pulling my hair, lets play with him." Walker got excited by this. It was going to be fun.

Toshi Yumkisaki - age 27

"Thank you for coming in Yumasaki-san" asid Corasana-sensei to Toshi Yumisaki. They were sitting across from each other at the little tables that the students used to do arts and crafts. Walker was reading a book in the corner of the classroom.

Toshi crossed and uncrossed his legs waiting for this woman to tell him whats wrong with his son. Corasana-sensei siged and said " Walker-chan is an inteligent person but today he and his friend have hurt one of my other students." This was not right, Walker was a good kid. He would never harm another student. The teacher sighed once again and continued "He and Erika-chan cornered Kinchi Mizuki in the clostet we keep the cleaning supplies in. Walker-chan held him down while Erika-chan cut his hair. Then the two of them used the scissors to cut his right arm. He had to get stiches." At this point she was no longer looking at Toshi but was stairing at Walker, who didn't seem to notice. "Neither of them would tell me why"

Toshi looked over at his son. How could Walker do that? He and Erika-chan always play so quietly together. He rubbed his temples and thought a moment before answering. "Look" He said to her "let me talk to him. Maybe he'll tell me why he did it. I'm a school conselor, I can get to the bottom of this." Corasana-sensei look doubtful for a minute and said "I hope your right, Walker really is a promising student"

Toshi and Corasana-sensei stood up and shook hands. He was about to tell Walker to get out to the car but his son was already by the door. It was like the kid was just killing time until it was time to go. Walker and Toshi walked out to the car in silence. Alll the way to the car Toshi was trying to think of the right words to say to Walker. He needed to be firm because what Walker did was serious but at the same time he didn't Walker to be so mad at him that he didn't pay attention. Besides Walker was only 5, he probably didn't know how much he hurt Kinchi.

"So why did you do it?" Toshi said after they got in the car and started driving. Walker looked down and staired at his feet for a minute or so before answering. "He pulled Karisawa's hair" he almost wispered. "So why didn't you tell the teacher, she could have helped" Toshi said. Walker looked at him strait in the eye and said "No, she couldn't" His voice stronger this time.

Toshi was a bit surprized at this and stair but at his son for a moment. "You should have more faith in your teach-" Toshi was saying when he rear-ended another car at the stoplight. "Dammit" Toshi looked at his son "um, don't repeat that". Toshi got out and started talking to the man that he just rear-ended. Through all this Walker remained quiet, however the man he ran into couldn't stop yelling.

After everything was through and Toshi called his wife, Karin to pick them up he trun to Walker to finish the conversation. "Alright I know that you were just trying to protect Erika-chan but what you did what wrong. Do you understand that?" Walker nodded without even looking at him. "Well" Toshi continued "when your mother gets here your going to tell her what you did, ok?" Again Walker just nodded.

It was half an hour later when Karin got there. When she did she got out of the car and briskly walked over to Toshi in the high-heels that she always wore to work. "You better have a good excuse for why I'm missing work right now." she said. "Yeah" said Toshi, he pointed over his shoulder at Walker "Ask your son why I had to pick him up from school today." Karin bent down to Walker's level and said in the sweetest voice "Walker, honey" he looked at her "what happened at school today". He looked at her and said "I hurt the person that hurt Karisawa" she replied "oh, well maybe that something that you should have let the teacher handle."

On the way to the car and on the ride home Toshi explained to his wife what Erika and Walker did at school. He and his wife had different ways of dealing with things but one thing was for certain, something had to be done.

Erika Karisawa - age 5

Erika waited in their office, her butt was still sore. After her parents found out that she had cut Kinchi's hair all they spanked her hard. That was yesterday and she still hurt. She and Walker haven't been able to play together since then. She felt bad that she got caught, but next time that wouldn't happen. That was the beauty of the game.

After she had been there for nearly an hour Walker finally arived. Before she had a chance to greet him he said "you ok?" Erika just smiled and said "of course, I'm not made of glass you know". With that they were planning their next game only this time they wouldn't choose one that got them into trouble but still just as much fun, if not more.
