hello and thank you for clicking on this story. I want you to understand one thing.

the events between Misaki and Akihiko obviously have not happened to me but the conditions Misaki has/does suffer from, are my true stories. I'm not saying this for attention or for sympathy, I'm just saying, this stuff is stuff that I have been through so I'm trying my best to express my feelings into this story. I wasn't going to ever upload this but my friend said I should, and that it would be good for me. Now when I mention my friend, note that I have come out and told my mom about all of this and I am fine but I'm writing this story so I can get everything out of my system

this is my first 1st POV story so bear with me.

"Niichan I'm home!" I cried from the front door, slipping off my shoes. The house was very cold just the way Niichan liked it, I guess it didn't really bother me either.

"Ah, Misaki! How was school?" My elder brother shouted from the kitchen. I could smell something delusiouce in the air and when I entered the room I saw the rice steamer on the counter, Niichan frying some veggitables and there was something in the oven.

"school was good," I lied, but what else do I say? "How was work?"

"Good! Actually my boss was in a really good mood today and so when I normally go out-" I let him ramble on and I just smiled and nodded pretending to listen while in my own thought. Hey, we all do it at some point. "I'll set the table" I muttered.

Once dinner was served and we were both sitting at the table Niichan and I clasped our hands together, simolyatainiousysly singing, 'itadatakimas' the began digging in.

The only sound was the sound of chopsticks hitting our plates, and we ate in comfortable silence until Niichan spoke up.

"So...Misaki,"

I looked up from my food, "yeah?"

"Well, I remember you saying you wanted to move out befor college, am I right?" I nodded and he continued. "Well, I'm not comfortable with you living completely on your own, and I know you are set on moving out so..."

"So...?"

"I talked to my friend Usagi who lives alone. He's got a huge house so If you don't want to see him you don't and he's got a maid and a butler too."

"Wait- what?!"

"I asked him if it's okay if you live with him until you land on your feet and he was more than happy to help."

"But niicha-"

"Misaki, it's either this, or living with Minami and I." Niichan spoke in his stern voice and I knew the conversation was over. I ate the rest of my meal quickly and left to bed for the night. I tossed and turned wonder what this Usagi guy was like and why his name was Usagi... Hmm, strange...

Maybe this won't be so bad after all...

Oh, who am I kidding?
