Slight rewrite of the grammar & order of the sentences as of August 6th, 2017.

A word of caution: There is one inappropriate scene in this chapter. And there will be many, many cursing in this fanfic. If you do not approve of either, turn back now.

Chapter 1:

'Run. Keep Running. Do not slow down or they will catch you.' Multiple thoughts are escaping my brain. My heart is pounding against my chest. I breathe so heavily that my throat is in dire need of water. I have to ignore that. I don't know where to go. All I know is that they cannot catch us.

'Run. Keep Running. Do not stop.'

"Big sis." I hear my younger sister say behind me. She's out of breath.

'Run. Keep Running.'

"Big sister. I can't-I can't run anymore…" She tells me. I hold on to her wrist even tighter.

'Run.'

"You're hurting me…" I feel her slowing down. I need to stop.

I slow down around a corner and let go of her wrist. We come to a halt and both pant, hoping that maybe we can keep running if we do. If Kana can't run with me, I can't protect her. If I carry her and I quickly run out of breath, I can't protect her. I need to think of something.

"Kana. Let's go." I tell her, once again grabbing her wrist.

But I hear a familiar disgusting voice echo. "Aww-. But you just got here." It's the bastard. His jackasses are with him.

My legs are trembling. I'm scared. I'm terrified. I'm afraid. But even so, I cannot let Kana get as much as a touch from any of them. I push her behind me and give them the most frightening face I can muster.

"Don't give such a scary face babe. You look just like your dickhead father when you look at me like that."

"You shut the fuck up! How dare you talk about him!?" I do not want him to talk about father through that vile mouth of his! I want him to die! I want all of them to die!

"Hey, he came to us for money. It ain't my fault he can't repay what he owes us." He says and chuckles along with the little gang of his. He pisses me off so much.

"What the hell are you talking about 'can't repay'?! I went to you personally so he won't have to be indebted!"

He gives a great intimidating laugh. "HA HA HA HA! Well you see… that sweet little asshole of yours just never could get me off no matter how hard I tried. So all that 'repayment' you thought you were doing, were ain't doing shit."

So… what I did... it was for nothing?...

"But maybe that lil kid behind you could get the job done."

I didn't follow logic right after. I did what my instinct told me to do. 'Kill him. Just kill him. Kill him!' is what it told me. I ran towards him with rage in my veins. Scratch, bite, kick, I didn't care what I did; I didn't care as long I saw him bleed.

Immediately when I started harming him, his gang came after me. "Get off of him bitch!" They yelled as the man under me was screaming as I was ripping his face.

Oh, I enjoy the expressions he's making.

"Kana! Run!" I screamed out once I realized the situation was getting out of hand.

She wouldn't move. She's cowering in fear. Now's not the time!

"Kana!"

She finally snapped out of it and chose a random direction to run in. "You're not going anywhere little girl!" One of the thugs said.

Hell no, you are not touching her! I ignored the bastard underneath me and jumped on to the thug. Trying to injure him as much as I can. He had a pungent smell of marijuana on him. Truly, it was foul.

As I was dealing with him as he also was screaming in excruciating pain, I had a feeling, a feeling somewhere in my lower back. At first, I thought one of the other thugs hit me with a crowbar. No. Immediately right after that thought, there was a feeling as though someone covered a knife with lava and plunged it into me.

I've been shot! Damn it! It hurt like burning hell! My shirt became wet with my blood; I needed to run away before I knew if Kana was safe.

'Run. Keep running.' I was back to where I started. 'Run. Keep running.' Where was I going? 'Do not stop.'

I have to stop. I can't feel my back. It's gone numb and the blood is leaking on to my shirt.

I turned another corner and laid down next to a recycling dumpster. I looked at where I came from and realized that I had left a trail of blood. Damn it...

I stayed there. No one came. I am all alone. I guess those bastards had to check on that little wimpy leader of there's. I did happen to damage about half of his face.

Wow..., his left eye. It sure did bleed a lot. I smirked at myself for a job well done.

"Big sis?" I heard a whisper. I looked up and saw Kana. Shit, why is she here? Did she follow my blood trail?

"B-Big sis, th-there's blood. There's b-blood everywh-ere on-"

"Ah, ah, ah" I interrupted her. "Apparently, one of those criminals loved painting. While sis was kicking ass, they threw some on me." I lied.

She ran and kneeled down next to me. "I'm ten years old! I know what's the difference between blood and paint!" She angrily yelled as she tried to check how to stop the bleeding.

I didn't say anything as she was probing me everywhere like she knew how to do first aid. She held on to me like I was going on to die. She's shaking, trembling. I giggled at her and tried to stand. I failed miserably. My legs crippled and I almost smacked myself back into the ground, but I regained myself even when my wounds told me I was burning in a pit of fire. Damn it, I can't run away with Kana if I'm like this! I have to think of something.

I picked Kana up through my pain. She gave me a perplexed look as I put her into the recycling dumpster.

Her look, it asked 'What the heck are you doing now?' So of course, I answered it. "Kana listen. Remember Doctor Iki? Big sis will go visit him and I want you to stay here."

"Wha-"

"It's a contest. If you come out before you see someone that's kind. We won't go to that Olive Tavern restaurant that you like." I grinned through my agony. Man, I really want to scream. I really do.

"But!"

I interrupted her before she could say more. "Hey, it's easy. All you have to do is stay here. I'll come back. We go to Olive Tavern and eat like queens! We'll order every single food on the menu!" I bite the inside of my cheek. Every time I breathe, the bullet in my back shifts. It hurt like hell, so much hell.

"You promise? You will come back? You will be fine and we will get to eat at Olive Tavern again?" Kana asked with a stern look.

I gave a playful laugh. "Obviously. All you have to do is stay in here."

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp is what I heard next. Damn it. Those jackasses are following my blood trail.

My adrenaline spiked back up as I hear the footsteps come closer. My heart is once again wanting to escape from my chest.

I began to close the lid of the dumpster, but Kana stuck a hand out with her pinky extended.

"Promise me. Promise me that you will come back. Promise that we will go to Olive Tavern together."

Okay. Fine. Fine. I quickly intertwined my own pinky with hers and replied. "I promise. Now get your head down!"

She does so as I close the lid on her.

Stomp. Stomp. I need to run.

However, as I put one foot forward. Pain shot up from my toes all the way to the top of my head. Damn it, my face is in the dirt.

"There she is! Kill the bitch!" It was the bastard again. His gang is still with him. I need to run. Get them away from Kana. Get up. Run. Get up! Run!

'Run. Keep running.' Where was I going? 'Run. Keep running.' My mouth is in dire need of water. 'Run. Keep running.' Get them away from Kana.

That feeling… there's another one. Now in my right calf. It's the same as last time. It first felt like I got hit with a bat, but the pain. The pain. There is no words to describe how excruciating painful it is.

I fall to the ground with a great thud. I can't stop here. Not here. I have to get up. I need to get up.

But just as victory was achieved, I was suddenly forced back into the ground. The dirt shifted as I struggled against the multiple hands on me. They were twisting my arms behind me and knees were pressed against my back. I gave a whimper as I tried to hold in my scream from the pain.

"Hello bitch." The bastard's voice, it's so venomous now. "My face. You sure did a number on my face." I see that it's covered with bleeding scratches all over. Especially his left eye, it's demented and still bleeding. I smirk at it.

Gunshot

I screamed at the new pain that's covering my shoulder. Damn so much pain. Pain everywhere. There's just… pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain everywhere.

"What are you smiling about bitch?! I don't care if I need my payment! You will suffer and I will enjoy that little sister of yours. She will be my new plaything!"

"Don't you dare touch her!" I scream at him. "I will destroy you! All of you bastards! You all will go to hell!" I squirm against my holds hoping that I can deal some last injuries against them.

The bastard, he held up the gun one last time. "Damn, you're so plain and boring."

…

…

…

That night. That night... There was only one gunshot that vibrated through the night.

I'm sorry Kana. But the big sister has to lie to the little one sometimes.

Hope you enjoyed the main character's backstory. Review on how it can be better. Next chapter will follow what happened after this event.

If you guys know me, I only update chapter one right when it's completed. Then, I update every other chapter that I complete or update when I'm halfway done with the plot. But, because Noragami is still ongoing, most likely it will be every other chapter.

Cover Image will change until I make a better one.
