Totsuka Cooperate

Chapter 1.

My name is Totsuka Saika, 16 years old. I lived with my abusive parents who don't even care about me and with my siblings, an older sister and a younger brother, who loved to bully me. My family hated me, but I did not really care. You see, I was raised up like this; Not knowing what love felt like. I was always blamed, always physically, verbally, and mentally abused, I was always humiliated, I was never anybody's first priority. Not even my parents understood me.

That is when I had decided that when my 18th birthday arrives I shall leave this hell house, I will abandon my prison forever. And that I will finally become free and happy.

But, sadly, the years go by ever so slowly. And I am still stuck in my prison.

It was early in the morning, time to get ready for school. I got dressed in the only uniform I had and headed out the door without no food in my stomache. During my walk my stomache grew louder and louder. I thought maybe that person behind me heard it. And I was right. He ran infront of me and said a "Hello" with the brightest smile he could manage. From the looks of it he was an adult, somewhere around his 20's?

"Hello?" I say in response. A little embarrassed tone in my voice.

"You are hungry, right? Are you?" The man asked.

"Yeah of course. I didn't eat this morning. "

"Oh, I see. Say.. Why don't I take you out for a little breakfast? I know your school doesn't start until 8!"

"Well, I don't know.."

"Come on~ I'll take you to Dennys. You like pancakes, do you? I know you do. Everybody loves pancakes!"

I licked my lips. I would really kill to eat a pancake. Besides I really needed to eat something. Anything!

"What do you say? Yes? I can drop you off to school." The man said as he kept that same bright smile.

I couldn't resist and I had accepted his offer.

"Great~ Follow me to my car." Said he as he walked the direction of where his car was parked.

As I got in his car in the passenger's seat, there was this odor that I was not familiarized with. It was different somehow and it stunk; Made my nose cringe.

When I had turned to the man he wore on a crooked smile. This got me alittle frightened.

"Daddy! You are back~" Shouted a young boy from the back seat. Woah, when did he get back there? I did not see him! I thought as I had turned back around to see the young boy who just stared at me with a smile. I smiled back at him then turned to look at the man who had started the car.

"My stomache hurts, daddy, I'm hungry! " The kid complained though his father ignored him, he then drove out and onto the main road.

At first I had thought of nothing. Maybe the kid was being so annoying that all his father wanted to do was to keep his mouth shut. But then, while on the streets, the kid came close to my passengers seat and whispered, "Save me please. SAVE ME SAVE ME SAVE ME! GET OUT HURRY! " His voice broke out into a scream and I had turned my head wildy to the back. I was about to scold the young man for breaking my eardrums, but when I had turned, nobody was there. I looked down at the floor of the car, nobody.

W-what was that? Am I imagining things? Had my father hit me that hard on the head last night? Had I not have enough rest? What did I just see when I had just gotten inside this car? It was a young male. But...He isn't here?

I looked at the man who had been driving. The scream had not affected him. Why? I'm hallucinating. But why did it sound so... Real? Something did not feel right. I had grown goose bumps everywhere around my body and I had clutched tightly onto my school bag. I made a mistake by ignoring my senses and sat back to relax. Everything is going to be okay, I reassured myself. My stomache would be full and I would be in school in no time.

"Hey, so.. What's your name?" The man asked suddenly which I had flinched.

"Oh, sorry. Did I scare you?" He asked as he chuckled abit.

"Y-yeah you scared me... But that is fine. My name is Totsuka Saika, yours?" I answered back with a little stutter.

"Ah, Totsuka is a nice name. Suits you because you look like a girl.. My name is Hachiman."

I pouted when I heard that comment that I looked like a girl.

"Aw don't be like that. It was a compliment." The man ,revealed to be named Hachiman, said with alittle smirk.

A compliment? How could that be a complient?

The car went silent when we had finally arrived at Dennys. Or...Not? We passed it. "Hey, I think we passed Dennys." I said to Hachiman who had a huge grin on his face.

"Ha-Hachiman?" I repeated his name to try and catch his attention.

"Oh, you'll be having a much better breakfast than pancakes." He said with an evil look on his face.

At this moment I was scared to death. I pulled at the door handle, but it would not open. I tried to scream, but nobody seemed to notice. I banged at the door, nothing.

Suddenly, a full blown hit was landed on the back of my head and I had slowly started to lose conscious. My grip on the door handle of that car loosened. I could not remember anything else for darkness had soon consumed me. But I do remember one thing: My trust has been, yet again, betrayed. What a stupid boy I am.
