A/N Yes, I know I really should be working on other fics now but… this has been bugging me since March. MARCH! It's JUNE!!
It was being a little poop-ball. I could not think of how to start it!
I finally figured it out, though.
Let's go!

Warning: slight MattxMello yaoi implications. I totally just spoiled that. But oh well.

"I'm serious dude. If he wasn't gay, I would totally snatch him up."
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Two people walked down an empty school hallway; one a boy, one a girl. They looked exactly alike. The difference was the girl had long hair in a messy braid over her shoulder. The boy had short hair that only reached his chin. They both had blonde hair and blue eyes. The reason for the resemblance was that they are related. The girl, Rainelle, was older than her brother, Mihael. Both siblings had their own nick-names. Mihael was Mello, and Rainelle was Rain.
Even though Rain was older, Mello was in her grade. He was pushed up a year, thus, as stated before, Mello was in her grade.
"I'm serious. He's totally my type, and he's not ugly or nothing." Rain said, pushing open the door that led to the outside. Mello stood next to her, pulling out a piece of chocolate and munching.
"You have some serious issues. Anyway, even if I did like him, I probably wouldn't go out with him." Mello responded. It wasn't a secret that Mello was gay. Oh, excuse me. He says he prefers bi. He had a few boy and girlfriends, people never really cared about it, but Mello was always like that. He worried too much. If you ever said that with him in earshot, he would probably shoot you… which is why Rainelle always kept thoughts like that to herself.
"I'm hanging out with friends tonight, is that alright? Will you be okay with mom? Can you handle her alone?" Mello asked, somewhat concerned.
"I'll be fine." Rain said, "I can always call Misa or someone. Dad might be able to come help if she has a fit. Hopefully, she stays in her room all night."
"Well, you'll be late already, so you know she'll do something."
"Whatever. I'll be fine."

Rain walked up the stairs of the small home she shared with her brother and mother. She pulled out her keys, put them in the lock quietly and turned. It made a louder noise than she would have liked, and she heard a shattering noise from inside the house. The door was wrenched open and her mother stood there. Rainelle looked guiltily up at the woman.
Rainelle's mother had pretty long dark blonde hair. It curled beautifully around her heart shaped face and brought out her light brown eyes. She wore a tan skirt and maroon shirt with a black apron over that. Her name was Bridgette, and she was French natively. She spoke English, though.
"Where have you been?! You horrible child! What kind of daughter comes home late leaving her mother worried sick?!" Bridgette grabbed her daughter by the hair and pulled her in the door.
"I'm sorry, mom… I'm home now…" Rain said as her mother released her. Rain fell to the ground, clutching her sore head. She leaned up against the wall, still holding her head on the floor. Her mother walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate. She walked back to the foyer and began drying it with her apron, "What am I going to do with you?! Should I send you to reform school?!"
I can't do this.
"I'm sorry, mom… I'll call next time--"
This is my daughter… my own flesh and blood… I have to stop!
"No! There won't be a next time!"
Where is Mihael? He will stop me… Mihael, save her! Walk through that door and stop me! I have to stop!
Bridgette stopped drying the plate and threw it at her daughter. It hit the wall and the broken tiny pieces fell onto her. Strangely, she only got cut by a piece she laid her hand on top of.
I have to get out of here… before I lose control again… Before I hurt her… I love my daughter… so why can't I control my anger around her?! Why isn't there anyone who can help us?! Why won't she call the police? She needs to do something! Bridgette thought, as she clutched the wall. She walked down the hallway to her room before slamming the door shut and locking it.
XXXXXX
Rainelle walked to the phone and picked it up. The first person she thought of calling was Mello, but she didn't want him worrying about her. Then there was her older cousin Misa… but Misa was most likely with her boyfriend.
Who else was there?
Nobody.
Her father would be at his house, and she didn't want to disturb him. He worked long hours in an office building in the next town over. She could call her brother's ex-boyfriend… but what would he do? That guy was a walking enigma.
She finally decided to call Mello.

"Hello? Rain?"
"Hey… Mel…"
"What's wrong?!"
"Nothing. Much."
"Rain." That was her brother's serious tone. Rain was the only one who could tell the difference.
"Mom had another fit. She threw a plate at me…"
"Where is she now?"
"In her room."
"Get outta there. Go to Misa's house or something, okay? I'll meet you there."
"Alright. Bye-bye."
"Bye."

Rainelle placed the phone on the receiver and walk down the hall to her mother's room. "Mom?" She asked, knocking at the door. "Get out of here! You'll get hurt again!" Rain pulled out a lock pick she had bought for this reason and picked said lock. The door swung open to reveal almost complete darkness. One window allowed the glow of the setting sun into the room. Her mother sat with her knees drawn up to her chest at the edge of the light. Rain stood there in the doorway. "Mom… if you don't eat, you'll starve… you need to rest, too."
She walked to her mother's bed and picked up a pair of neatly folded pajamas. The younger girl walked to her mother and kneeled in front of her. "These are your pajamas?"
"Yes…"
"Okay. You can dress yourself, right?"
She nodded.
"Good, I'm going to go to Misa's house now, okay?"
She nodded. "Call Mihael for me…" Bridgette muttered. Rain smiled gently, "I did already. He's on his way."
"Get out…" Bridgette didn't say it as rough as she did before, she said it in a 'I don't want you hurt again' way. Rain understood and left the room. She grabbed her school bag and locked the door as she left.
XXXXX
The blonde haired girl walked down a few streets, eager to reach her cousin's apartment. Misa's family was killed a burglar and the school pays for her apartment because she refused to be put in foster care, and Rain and Mello's mother refused to take her in out of fear. Fear of hurting Misa like Rain.
XXXXX
My arms burn… I hate this! I know why they hurt… It's because of Rainelle… Because of what I do to her... I can't help it! I don't want to hurt her but I can't control it! Where is Mihael? He will help me! He will save me… He'll save Rainelle from me… where is their father when they need him? We never should have gotten divorced…
Bridgette sat curled up in a ball in the far corner of her room. "Maybe I should call the police on myself, to save them… But I don't want to leave my children!"

Rain finally reached Misa's apartment. She knocked on the door gently. It swung open.
"Yes?! Oh! Rainy! It's you! Come on in!" Misa jumped on her cousin, glomping her. She dragged the younger girl into the apartment by the arm. She practically threw her onto the couch by the arm.
"Misa, who's here?" That's Light, Misa's boyfriend. He was handsome, with neat chestnut hair. He had eyes that matched his hair, and was pretty tall. Then again, so was Rain, so she was about the same height as his eyes.
"It's Rayeeeeee!" Misa had so many nicknames for Rainelle that it wasn't funny.
Rain found it rather annoying, actually.
But oh well.
A/N all done. I packed in a lot of stuff in this one chapter… I planned on revealing the mother thing later on, but I figured it needed to be known early on and understood. You see, their mom doesn't want to hurt Rain, but she can't stop herself. She can't hit Mello for some reason, which is why she relies so heavily on him. She didn't adopt Misa because she didn't want to risk hurting Misa.
Got it? Get it? Good.
Stealthy out!
