Chapter 1: The Worst Day

"no… father, don't… PLEASE, FATHER!"

She woke up with a flash, pale and sweaty like always. Her eyes were red from crying and tears flowing down her cheeks. It's the same dream every night, the dream of her father getting drunk, then killing her family and leaving her left alone. Always reliving the same pain over and over.

She stayed in the same sitting position for awhile before then curling down beneath the cover, still crying.

How much longer will she keep having this dream? Her chest hurts so badly every time she wakes up after having these dreams and she just wishes she could forget it all.

It was about 1 PM on a Wednesday, and ridiculously hot sun rays were entering Sakura Kyoukos torn down room just as they've done the past days. Mitakihara City was going through the hottest summer in about 30 years. Her room has reached a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius. The abandoned building that only she lived in was located a little while from the marketplace, the mall and the river.

Beside her depression from her dream, she was feeling ill due to dehydration, as she was feeling extremely dried out and her mouth felt dirt. She didn't have anything to drink as she used up the last of the water before she went to sleep last night. Her supply of food and snacks was also gone having eaten the last of the apples yesterday.

Realizing she had to leave for water and food she slowly casted aside the cover and rose from her bed. She couldn't think straight and she couldn't find strength to stand properly as she had to lean onto the wall to reach her clothes to get dressed. Finding it harder than she thought just to get to her clothes that were lying on a chair about 3 meters away she fell just as she rose from bed.

Having been able to leave the building, the redhead slowly staggered her way through the other buildings as fast as she could so she could get something to drink. She felt her mind growing weaker by the minutes as the sun continued to gaze upon her, and her chase for water was the only thing that had her going. She also felt her stomach started twisting inside her, calling out for food.

A few minutes later having reached the river she could barely stand anymore. She fell to her knees as she bended forward and started to drink the cold water. She started to feel refreshed almost instantly, and decided to go into the water for a short moment to get rid of her sweat. Confirming that no one else was present she just kept the underwear on as she entered the cool, refreshing water.

The water felt like heaven to the almost passed out teen. She can't remember the last time she felt this good. Just to float in the water she felt like her body was being cleansed and all her sins and problems was washed away.

Staying in the cool water made her regain most of her consciousness. Though she still felt weak from hunger, at least now she probably would have enough strength to steal some food. After about 10 minutes the redhead left the river and put on her clothes she left on the side of the water.

Feeling some regained strength in her body, although still a little dizzy, she made her way to the marketplace, hoping to see some stealing-friendly bag of groceries. Unfortunately the shops have been more observant and keep their groceries under better protection due to her constant raids.

Taking cover in some alley she started to check people for an easily accessible grocery-bag to steal. She stood there for a good 20 minutes watching people pass by without carrying anything. She started to lose strength again this time due to extreme hunger.

Apparently a lot people still was at work or was just spending time at the lake on the other side of town. Many of those who passed by was students or adults that just left their work for the day.

Her stomach started growling from inside the alley although nobody else seemed to notice as they were too busy texting or conversing with their so called friends. Those so called friends who just takes advantage of you and leave you when things gets too difficult. "What the hell do you need them for?" she whispered to herself as she kept watching the people that passed by.

About 10 minutes when she was close to give up and faint she got view of a middle-aged woman carrying a fairly big bag of food as she saw some fruits and some bread sticking out of there. "Now it's all or nothing!" she said feeling worn out already and she put her hood over her head as she ran at full speed at the woman. Kyouko easily snatched the bag as the woman was caught off-guard.

"THIEF!" the woman screamed as the redhead was already inside the alley once again, and with 3 more people follow her into the alley she just laughed as they lost her already after the first corner. She smiled knowing there was no way they could follow her all this way. Though she knew the passageways between the buildings like her own pockets she quickly started to lose her breath and the redhead was able to catch her breath a few buildings in.

She was finally able to take her first meal in at least 24 hours and her stomach was growling as crazy. Though she didn't think the day could get worse than it already has, "Well well, what do we have here?" was heard as Kyouko looked to where the voice came from. And as she looked around her she was surrounded by a group of older teenagers. "Who are you? And what the hell do you want?" she said with a shaky voice.

"You see, we are low on cash right now and we are a little hungry and you just done the job of stealing the food for us. So now we just have to get it from you and we don't have to be arrested for stealing from a thief right." the boy said that appeared to be the leader of the gang. "Maybe we can have a little fun with her body as well!" one of the other guys said with a smile. "Yeah that sounds good!" the other guys said while nodding in agreement.

Kyouko started to feel scared as she knew she didn't have enough strength as she had to take on 6 guys at once, also by being out of strength and dizzy by hunger to boot. "A-and what if I refuse?" she said while putting on a fake smile of confidence, even though she knew the smile wasn't very convincing.

"Hahaha, she's scared. And if you refuse we might have to be a little rough." one guy said while smiling sadistically at her.

"Yeah, I'm so scared." she said sounding confident although she was standing on shaky legs. "But you will have to capture me first!" Kyouko said while quickly run towards a direction that they didn't block completely. Although they didn't move very much she didn't see that one of the other guys behind her picked up a steel bar to throw at her.

Almost past the guys to reach the only way out of the situation she suddenly felt an incredibly hard hit against the back of her knee. Hurting like hell she quickly fell down lying on her stomach with a high-pitched scream in pain. "Yeah that's a nice scream!" one of the guys said with a wide smile and walked down to her dragging her up with her left arm while another one held her up with her right.

Through her tear filled eyes she saw who appeared to be the leader walk up before her with two of the guys holding her up in her arms. "Seems like this is your lucky day, first you bring us food then you gonna pleasure us. What a nice little girl we found." He said with a smile while caressing her cheek. She quickly turned away her head in disgust.

While still crying she still managed to speak back. "W- would any nice girl do this?" she said with anger in her voice while using her not injured leg to kick his crotch with all her power she could manage, which still was quite powerful due to adrenalin.

"Aargghhh" the guy yelled out as he fell to the ground covering his now injured crotch. "Ughh, you bitch, you will pay for this."

Slowly rising from the ground he turned around and picked up the steel bar they threw at her earlier. He then turned around showing Kyouko a wide smile and with both his hands on the bar as he slowly walked towards the captured redhead. She tried to look cool about it though she couldn't hold the façade up. "Well you're not so cocky anymore I see."

As he came closer she was prepared to kick him again, come to the fact that he would strike her with the bar no matter what so why not cause as much damage as possible? Standing about 2 feet away from her thinking she would never try anything while he was holding a steel bar. Ohhh, how wrong he was.

She kicked him twice in the same place as before, he fell down once again and as a final she choose to spit him in his face. "AAAAARRGHHH!" he screamed now as he now was lying down whimpering on the warm asphalt. "Boss!" the other guys called out to their leader. "You bitch!" one of the guys holding her yelled aiming a fist at her as their boss tried to stand up. "Don't touch her!" their leader said in anger as he stood up with the bar in her hand.

"Hold her free leg!" He said to one of the guys that just were watching and they obediently did what they were told. She was prepared for pain as he stood right in front of her. "Feel my pain tenfold!" he said aiming the steel at her already disabled leg. He took a wide swing and the pain she felt was inhumane. She couldn't remember nor could she imagine anything more painful as this.

She screamed out in immense pain as he loaded for another swing at the same place. She looked at him with tearful eyes. "Whoa, are you starting to regret you actions now?" he said while smiling sadistically at the tearful girl in front of him. "Although it is too late for apologies." he said as his second swing was coming down. This time the pain was more intense than the previous blow. A second but louder high-pitched scream started to sound around the abandoned buildings. Not stopping to scream for a few seconds as she later stopped, crying and giving up hope.

She was incredibly hungry, held buy three guys unable to use her left leg. And she just hoped they could end it already. Her life was already a mess and she couldn't do anything to change what was happening or change what has already happened. A weak "Ple…" was all she managed to say until she was interrupted by one of the guys in the background.

"Boss, people are coming this way. They must have heard her scream." he said looking quite panicked. "If the police get notice of this we will go to jail for sure."

"How many are they?" the boss asked.

"Not quite sure but they are at least 2, and if they heard it more might come." he warned as all the guys looked at the boss, waiting for a decision.

"Let's freakin' leave the bitch here. She'll only be dragging us down." the leader commanded.

The redhead started to lift her head smiling, overjoyed someone heard her scream, coming to help her.

The leader of the gang saw the girls smile and felt it to be a little too nice to just leave her with a broken knee. "What the hell are you smiling at?"

"Boss we have to leave now!" one of the other guys said quite panicked. "I don't want to get caught!"

"Yeah I'm almost done here!" he said lifting the steel bar for one more time although aiming for her head. She just had enough time to raise her head high enough to just see a bar of metal coming to her head as everything turned black.

"Let's bail!" he said as he threw he unconscious girl into a dump container. They started to run in the opposite direction of where the voices came from forgetting what they originally came for.

About ten seconds later two girls entered the alley, in which they saw a bag of food, a steel bar and a dumpster. "Are you sure you heard a scream?" the pink-haired girl said to the other girl. "Yeah, I'm sure it c…" the other girl just interrupted herself as the noticed some red hair hanging out of the dumpster. "H- HEY!"
