(10 years ago)
"AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
A scratchy scream ran all throughout the halls as the victim's voice had toned down into mumbles.
"OW! S-STOP IT!!! I-IT HURTS!!!" Xiao sobbed, banging her fists on her abuser's hands.
Yu stared at her strangely and tugged on her hair a little bit harder than his last attempt. "This is what you get for being an annoying brat. I told you to stop kicking me there!"
"B-but Da says that they're not jello. So I kicked you to tell her that they are made of jello. She won't believe me!!" Xiao explained, kneeling on the ground with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Yu scowled at her and pulled at her pigtails with the same strength he exerted. "THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL MY BUTT IS MADE OF JELLO, STUPID!!" He gripped her hair tighter and gently released it, scoffing slightly as he watched Xiao fall flat faced on the ground.
Xiao scrambled to sit herself back up in a kneeling position and crossed her arms in a lock. "Yeah right, you don't even know what jello is." She pouted as her cheeks had puffed up a bit from her gesture.
"I know that it isn't my butt!" Yu retorted, scrunching his eyebrows.
"Well...since I'm so smart---and you're not, it's some kind of food that people in the west eat."
Yu had fallen back a tidbit after her response. "My butt isn't for dinner."
Xiao threw out her tongue and showed an expression of gagging. "Eww..." A few seconds later, she shook her mind off the thought and sighed. "I guess Da was right...people's butts aren't made of jello..."
Yu once again scoffed and sneered at her. "You're mentally retarded. Butts made out of jello...c'mon!" He hovered up his shoulders and shrugged.
"HEY!" she yelled back. "You didn't even know what jello is!!!"
Yu raised his eyebrows.
"It's your butt!!"
"I thought it was some kind of food that western people eat."
"Oh yeah..." Xiao examined her feet and claimed defeat solemnly.
Yu sighed heavily and walked off, his last words to her being, "Proves my point. You're born retarded and you'll stay retarded."
His words reverberated in her mind as he trailed off. She grumbled to herself and shot herself off the ground and chased after him in full pursuit. "HEEEEYYYYY!!! GGGEEEETTTT BBBBAAACCCKKK HHHEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!! I'll show you I'm not stupid!!!!!!!!"
...and so she went...fighting back with him verberally...and it remained that way years and years later...
"UGH!!! That guy..." Xiao hissed sourly, increasing the limit of her sister's annoyance scale past its peak. She continued spitting out her complaints and tugged at her hair in anger with a basket full of her pulled out hair in the corner. She grumbled more to herself and thunked her bottom on a seat facing a mirror as she brushed her hair repeatedly. "LOOK AT WHAT HE DID!!! THERE'S STILL A BALD SPOT FROM WHEN HE PULLED MY HAIR TEN YEARS AGO!!! DA!!!! LOOOOOOOKKKKKKK AAATTT WWWWHHHHAAATTTTT HHHHHEEEEE DDIIIIIIDDDD!!!!!' Xiao whined, hopping up and down from her seat as her sister sighed in a not-so-calm-but-trying-to-act-like-it-way.
"You know, pulling your hair out even more won't help the baldness of your head go away, Xiao." Da replied rationally.
Xiao whisked at her a glare and scrunched her nose as she pouted. "I'm just trying to even it out."
"By adding more bald spots to your head?"
"No! By making my hair it look thinner." She explained, thrashing her forehead down to the table she sat near by.
Da raised a brow at her and giggled. "That happened ten years ago, Xiao. You were 6 and "he" was 8. Little kids always fight over the smallest things...what was it that the two of you were arguing about?"
"Jello."
"What's jello again?"
Xiao hesitated a moment and tapped a pointed against her chin. "His butt?"
Da stared blankly at her sister for a brief moment. "...you're not too bright are you?...I thought it was some food that people in the west eat."
Xiao blinked a constantly for a few seconds and slammed her fist into her palm. "Oh yeah! That one! I remember!!" Xiao chortled to herself. "But yeah...I'm just glad that he isn't going to come back here again. UGH!!! The nerve of that guy!!! I can't stand it!!!"
Da brought herself up to her feet and yawned as he stretched out her arms. "Yu? I think that he's a very nice man. I don't think he's anything like from what you are describing him."
"That so?" Xiao questioned in suspicion. "I guess he is only nice to women that actually don't look like men." She sank in her chair and sighed deeply.
"What are you talking about? You don't look like a guy."
"Whatever you say, sis. Old men are bald just so you know. I guess a sixteen year old like myself already looks like an old man..."
Da laughed at her remark and covered her mouth while doing so. "You make it sound like you're calling yourself a transexual, Xiao."
Xiao jolted from her seat and eyed her with a death glare. "AM NOT!!!"
"I'm just kidding, Xiao. Well...I guess you're just going to have to adjust to it then." Da added on, placing her hands on her hips.
Xiao stood there in confusion. "With looking like an old man or living my entire life in baldness?"
Da walked over to the window and lifted up the curtain and allowed the cool crisp breeze to slide into the room. She inhaled a lung full of air and smiled to herself with her back facing Xiao--unknown to her that she was happy about something...sinister... well...not really...
"Well..." Xiao said impatiently. "What is it?"
Da swove her head back around to face her younger sister and then she placed a pointer over her mouth. "Didn't you know that the Sun Family is coming back here again?"
Xiao's heart leaped from excitement. "Really?...I guess that's a good thing...I mean Xiang's coming back right?At least THAT guy isn't going to come back here again."
"What made you think that? He's coming along too."
Xiao's world paused for a second as her ears twitched automatically.
The room stayed silent as a gust of wind blew past the two of them.
"Eh? You mumbled. What did you say?"
Da shook her head in astonishment and walked toward the door. "Yu is coming back here as well...the Sun Family lives with him too remember? So...it's like whenever they go, he goes too. He's like part of the family as well."
The younger Qiao ran up to her sister and frantically shook her in violent movement. "AHHH!!! DDDDAAA!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?!!! I WOULD'VE BEEN PLANNING OUT SOMETHING FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS TO GET BACK AT HIM FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HE'S DONE TO ME!!!!!!!!!" Xiao practically screamed, her throat cracking with each word that she spoke. "I swear...I thought that the last time he was here was the last time he'll see me again for the rest of his life!!!! OH! This isn't good..."
Da turned the knob of the door open and gently smiled at her. "I guess what I was going to tell you wouldn't make you feel any better..." Her words trailed off, only leading toward Xiao's overactive curiousity.
"Just say it..." Xiao replied threateningly, her red hot face beginning to turn into a ripe tomato.
Da shrugged her shoulders and just blurted it out like that. "They're coming back today."
Xiao stood there frozen as the last word repeated in her mind over and over again. She remained there in her "traumatized" state and swung her body a bit from anger. "TTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????? YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS ARE YOU?!?!"
"What makes you think that?" She answered coolly. "I guess I'll go ahead and let you cool down your steam for now. I think that they're coming before dinner. So, until then...you won't have to see him." Da stepped out the door and inched the door away from its lock before she shut the door closed entirely. She took the time to peep through the provided space and examine her sister's reaction.
Xiao sat on her bed, sulking and with her trademark pose: a childish pout with crossed arms. "I can see you, Da."
"Oh." Da backed away from the door and giggled to herself. "I'll be on my way now, alright? See you at dinnertime!!!" She chirped, speedwalking down the hall with anxiety.
Xiao threw her pillow at the door and screamed inside her throat. "UGH...I'd rather starve myself to death than seeing that guy one more time..." She told herself, blocking the sunlight away from her eyes. "But then...this place is way too big for me to actually run into him...so I might end up hiding away from him for the next five years or so without him having any contact with me in person. Haha yeah!" She rose herself up to sit in a squatting position and grinned to herself. "It's like he's not even here at all! HAHA! YEAH!!" Xiao hopped off her bed and marched over to her door, jolly from her new idea and exited out, still giggling to herself. She was, from some weird and stupid reason, walking with eyes closed and she ended slamming her face right into a wall that lay parallel away from her. "Oww..." She moaned, clutching her nose and softly pressing against it to find any sign of it broken. "That hurt..."
A solid, high-pitched laugh came from right behind her as Xiao placed her forehead against the wall. "Haha Xiao. I guess you still haven't changed at all. Your personality and looks." The short haired brunette girl had walked up toward her and faced her at a close range. "Yup, everything's the same...that's good."
Xiao shook from fright and jumped backward swiftly. "XIANG!? You're already here?"
Xiang chuckled to herself and patted Xiao's head. "Yeah, even my dad, Ce, Quan, an--"
"Say that name, and I'll punch you." Xiao popped her knuckles as Xiang gulped in fear.
Immediately, Xiang straightened her posture as she gained back her composure. "Why? Are you two having a lover's quarrel or something like that?" She had her hands hidden behind her back and acted as though she was entirely naive of the situation.
"No! That's never gonna happen!!! I'll die if something like that happens!!!" Xiao said.
"Well...I still don't see what wrong with the two of you."
"He's a bully. He's done way too many mean things to me. There's too many to list."
Xiang scratched her head, giving out an expression of surprise. "It's kinda hard to believe that somebody actually doesn't like Yu."
Xiao brain had exploded when she had heard that name again. "That name..." She hissed.
"Maybe your just overreacting, don't you think?"
"I really hate him though..." Xiao sighed to herself and shrugged after her friend's question. "I think I'll go on ahead. I need to go and grab something to eat."
Xiang nodded in approval and greeted her goodbye as she resumed loitering through the hallway. "I'll see you later, ok?" She called out.
"Oh gosh, he's already here. I hate this..." She murmured to herself almost silently. She made her ways throughout the palace and made use of her surroundings to stay hidden from "his" sight. At the last turn to head for the kitchen, she had abruptly fell down to the ground, her eyesight suddenly flying around the room randomly. "Ow..." She raised her head slightly and gripped the ground that she sat on to bring herself up. Slowly, towering her face almost completely up, she noticed that the person that she had bumped into was a man after taking a short glimpse of his muscular setup of his body. She gulped painfully as her heart pounded against her chest, her heart wanting to escape from its confined chamber. She kept her vision toward the ground and tried to make her way past the side ofthe man, in hopes that it wasn't the man that she had tried to avoid all her life. Suddenly, her breath was caught in a web when the deep voice of the man called out to her saying the same words that "he" always called her, "Hey retard."
