Chapter 2
The big doors to the Hiratsuka residence quietly and slowly opened, Neonis' head poked inside taking a peak and than shifting left and right scanning the empty room.
She cautiously walked in and carefully closed the doors behind her, the large constructions making a soft click but sounded loud to her ears.
She took a few cautious steps and looked around before she finally dashed off towards her room. She hoped that her step-father didn't notice that she had just come home from last night.
'Maybe he didn't notice that I was gone all night?' she hoped.
She finally reached her door and smiled in victory, once she was inside the safe confines of her room he wouldn't bother her. She reached for the door knob and firmly grasped it, she turned the knob ready to open it.
"You're late. Where were you?"
Neonis froze and cursed under her breathe, her eyes shut close in mortification, if only she had been quicker.
She turned around to her step-father her arms limp at her side but really she was tense and very apprehensive all over.
"I'm sorry. I know I didn't return last night. I was trying to clam down-"
"I didn't ask about what you were doing. I asked where were you?!" He harshly interrupted, his dark green eyes were furious, and promising that there would be consequences to pay.
"As I said I was trying to calm-"
Slap!
"That wasn't what I asked dammit! Now where the fuck were you?!" he yelled furiously.
Takuya had slapped her when she had tried to avoid the question again his anger rising like a heat wave.
Really he was inwardly smiling in contentment seeing the girl's bowed head and her shaking form, he frowned though when she raised her head back up high and her shaking ceased.
Neonis' cheek hurt, and he had hurt her again where the bruise on her cheek from before was worsening but she stood her ground.
She was not letting this man get the best of her and make her cry and cower in fear. No, she would not allow that, she would not give him the pleasure to think that he had won and had control over her.
She opened her eyes and gave him a hard look and with much confidence, responded proudly, "I don't have to answer you, you bastard. You don't control my life. So why don't you just go and fuck yourself?"
Takuya's eyes widened in pure rage at her response, he couldn't believe she had the nerve to talk back at him and tell him how he treated her.
'How dare she! That bitch!'
He raised his hand ready to strike again when a servant called to him.
"Sir, you have a phone call."
Takuya turned around to the servant and gave him a glare causing him to flinch some. Takuya took a deep breathe and calmed himself down, he didn't want anyone else to witness what he really did to the girl on a daily basis.
"All right, dismissed."
The servant bowed to him and Neonis in respect still a bit frightened and walked back down the stairs to continue his duties.
Neonis' step-father looked back at her and gave her a glare as well, he turned and started walking to the stairs to get the call. He stopped at the very top and looked back at her.
"This isn't over yet, young lady." he threatened and finally descended down the stairs.
Neonis gave a glare of her own at the spot Takuya was just standing in dwelling in her hatred of the man.
She turned away and quickly entered her room making sure to slam the door shut as hard as she could. Her room was rather huge for just one person to be in, her walls were a dark crimson, on all four corners of her room were light bulbed torches.
Her bed was a very large king size not as big as Leon's though and had a black veiled canopy. The bed sheet was black, she had many black and red pillows big and small, her comforter was a bright red and all around reached the floor. On the right of it was her nightstand along with a vanity.
Her bed stood near the top right area of the room near her doorway, just across her bed against the wall was her black desk with both a laptop and computer. She really never used her laptop except for typing up stories and her computer was used for research, chatting with friends and for school.
On the left of the desk also against the wall was a plasma flat screen TV accompanied by a PS2, PS3, and Gamecube. Near the bottom left corner was her guitar set, guitar was one of her hobbies, her friends weren't exactly a band they only do small concerts amongst themselves and friends or played just for fun.
Amaya her best friend was their lead singer, Neonis obviously was with guitar along with Demyx, Amaya's boyfriend, and Zexion one of Amaya's older brothers was on drums.
At the right side of the room was her walk in closet, her wardrobe consisted of dark colors, mainly black. Her bathroom was at the top left of her room and inside was a large tub at the far wall and on the left was the shower booth and across that was her sink. Nothing was really in there except the essentials.
Overall her room was fit for her, this was her only sanctuary except her brothers or Leon's house when she had to deal with that bastard Takuya, she also had a bedroom like this at her two older brothers house.
She was very pissed today of how he always had been with her she was in a good mood this morning but he just had to ruin it. She stomped over to her bed over her black with crossbones carpet and plopped down on it.
She grabbed one of the pillows on her bed smothered her face with it and screamed into it letting all her anger out. She continued screaming for a few more minutes before she stopped and removed the pillow from her now red face.
'I hate that man! What did mom ever see in that fucker?! He wasn't the sweet caring guy she told me and my brothers when she first introduced him to us.' The thought of having him as her father made her sick, she stopped and became quiet at the word 'dad'.
The thought of her real father made tears finally come to her eyes, Auron had died ten years ago when she was eight. Her family had been going through hell ever since he passed away.
She missed her father dearly, he had always been the one there to pick her up and cradle her when she fell and hurt her arm or knee when she was still a child. He was always the one that would have nighttime conversations with her before she fell asleep. And he was always there when she was sad and cheer her up.
She had idolized him, thinking him as her hero, and always looked up to him. She grew to become strong like him and never show weakness. But that was gone now, when he had died from an illness. He would never be there to hold her and tell her everything would be alright and he would never be there to lift her back up on her feet or catch her when she fell. Her hero was gone.
So she took martial arts and swordplay with her two brothers. A lot of times she and Neona would be in a 'little' brawl.
She turned on her left side to gaze at the picture of her father on her nightstand, she reached over and grabbed it and looked at the one she had idolized most in her life. Another lone tear fell down her cheek but she didn't bother to wipe it away.
A lot had changed when he died but her memories and love for him didn't. She promised that she would be happy for him and take care of her mother since she knew that they had been truly close and her mother needed the support the most.
Her mother, LuLu had suffered the most. She wasn't as lively as she used to be. Back then she would always be in petty and silly arguments with Auron and both would laugh at the end of every one of them, and were so very close when he was still alive.
Her brothers became more serious and over protective. They weren't the playful onii-chans that she once knew in her childhood, but she was still very grateful to them and now looked up to them like she had to Auron.
Her father Auron was a General in the military and the one who ran the force. All his work and progress earned him lots of respect and fortune and he only did it to raise and protect his family, but sacrificed himself for it.
Even now that Auron was gone, the military still paid the Hiratsuka for their debt. Her mother currently right now helps out with it and the president of a phone company. But all the work she had to endure and helping out with an entire military was too much for her, and reminded her too much of Auron.
That might have been why she married Takuya because she needed some aid, or maybe she really did love him and decided to move on.
She still though didn't like or trust Takuya one bit. She knew that he only married her mother for her money and also might have more intentions but she wasn't all too sure of what.
Neonis really couldn't believe her mother, but she loved her dearly and didn't want her to suffer anymore. If she ever told her father if he was alive, he would believe her, there was no way that she would lie to him and he always knew if she was lying or not.
All this thinking was starting to give her a headache and she decided that resting was a good idea for today, no activity and put the picture back in it's rightful place. She kicked off her boots and put them beside her bed, she settled back down on her bed slowly closing her eyes and snuggled close to the soft pillows.
She quickly fell asleep her soft breathing echoing in her silent room that would usually be filled with Metal or Hard Rock Music blasting from her computer, she usually listened to it while she was falling asleep or thinking, and being grateful that the walls were thick so as to not bother anyone else around her and be left alone in peace.
Time passed as Neonis continued sleeping, the sun rose and fell and from the time 8:00 a.m. that she woke, till the time now that was 5:56 p.m. Her computer suddenly started toning arousing the girl from her sleep.
She groaned in annoyance and turned on her side trying to ignore the annoying thing.
"Shut up!" she yelled at it.
Apparently she had left it on when she had gone out last night and now someone was messaging her while she tried to sleep.
It toned even more, multiple times foiling her plans of falling back asleep. She sighed irritably as she slowly rose from her bed, she stalked over to her desk and plopped down onto the black roller chair.
She rubbed her eyes getting rid of any remnants of sleep and looked at the screen seeing that her friend Amaya was online trying to IM her. Neonis quickly signed in and entered the chat room with her friend.
-Neo-chan©'s u is now online.-
EqualsD©: Finally you wake up! I typed to you to wake up like, 178 times!! D:
Neonis lifted a brow at that remark. She could've just tried calling instead of typing her a message to 'wake up' incessantly. She shook her head and IM'd back to her.
Neo-chan©'s u: u counted?
EqualsD©: … Maybe.
Neonis chuckled amusedly, her friend can be quite stupid sometimes but she was her best friend and she loved her anyway.
EqualsD©: So, what's up?
Neo-chan©'s u: the ceiling
EqualsD©: Besides that… -.-;;
Neonis always preferred the lazy way of typing while Amaya was a perfectionist, always typing with the correct grammar and spelling. Though she still used some of the smileys and 'gtg' or 'ttyl'.
Neo-chan©'s u: well i wouldnt exactly say my day was good
EqualsD©: Why, what happened? P:
Neo-chan©'s u: its nothing
EqualsD©: … You liar…
Neo-chan© 's u: sighs man ur difficult u kno that?
EqualsD©: Yea I know!! xD
Neonis chuckled at her friend's behavior it was obvious that she was hyper even when she had no verbal or visible proof. The computer toned again indicating that Amaya had messaged again.
EqualsD©: Say what are you doing tomorrow? ;3
Neo-chan© 'su: nothing. y?
EqualsD©: Wanna hang out tomorrow:D
Neonis thought for a moment deciding whether she should hang out with Amaya or go to her brother's tomorrow. 'Well I guess we could just go there after hanging out. I'm sure Nii-san won't mind.' she thought. She replied back telling her decision.
Neo-chan©'s u: sure well hang out tomorrow
EqualsD©: Woot! )
Neo-chan©'s u: grrrr…
EqualsD©: Rawr!
Neo-chan©'s u: toothpaste!
EqualsD©: Toothpaste is a funny word! xD
Neo-chan©'s u: lol yea
They both continued chatting for a while just talking about random stuff some about stuff that happened recently, friends, things that their friends and they themselves had done that were just completely idiotic which was what their group was. A bunch of idiots. (A/N: That's usually how me and my friends are. A bunch of idiots!)
Neonis and the others always acted stupid with each other whether they were just hanging out or at school. Neonis was somewhat like the mother of the group but she was also playful with everyone. But Amaya was more playful than her, she was considered the little sister of the group.
Amaya messaged back with a question one that got Neonis' all nervous.
EqualsD©: By the way where were you last night? I tried calling you yesterday but your mom picked up and she said you weren't home and had no idea where you were.
Neonis tried to think of a response that didn't hint into a part of her waking up in Leon's bed with him shirtless and that she had kissed him on the lips while he was still asleep, she knew she wasn't going to hear the end of what Amaya would say.
Neo-chan©'s u: i was out
EqualsD©: Just out? -.-
Neo-chan©'s u: yea
EqualsD©: Kind of hard to believe. You were at someone's house last night weren't you? -.-
"Crap!" Neonis sighed. She knew she wasn't going to get out of this one. She was about to tell her but a message that Amaya had sent halted her.
EqualsD©: Oh sorry, I gotta get going its almost dinner time. Saïx is probably going to call me down soon. Ttyl D;
Neonis looked at the time and sure enough it was 6:35 p.m. So she quickly typed back saying goodbye.
Neo-chan©'s u: ok. later. luv u
EqualsD©: You too. ©
EqualsD© has logged off.
Neonis sighed in relief and logged off as well.
"Man that was close. Well, I'm probably going to end up telling her anyway… Scratch that, I will." she said exasperated.
A knock came to her door, she turned to it and shouted a response.
"Yes?"
One of the maids voices was heard on the other side.
"Miss Neonis, dinner is being served downstairs."
At that moment Neonis' stomach growled, she was hungry, she hadn't eaten this morning or when she had gotten back, but she didn't feel like eating in the dining room with her parents tonight not after what happened in the hall.
"Ok, thanks Taki, but can you tell mother and Takuya that I wish to eat in my room alone tonight?" she asked, 'Not just tonight it's every night…'
"Yes ma'am, I will." Taki replied.
At that the maid left the sound of her footsteps fading. Neonis sighed and walked over to her guitar set. She picked up her acoustic guitar, it was made from rich mahogany wood and the polish of it shined in the light and smooth to the touch. It was truly a great piece of work.
As she waited for her dinner to arrive she played a few songs her fingers strumming the strings letting the sweet melody fill her ears.
----
Amaya was currently sitting in her room playing 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' on her Wii, the Zelda characters running around on the Large TV that was on the far right side of her room. Her room was somewhat like Neonis' but a little different.
She had a Nintendo Wii, a PS2, Nintendo 64, other miscellaneous game systems, and in front of the game sets were two couches.
Her walls were a deep silver with black intricate designs at the top of the walls near the ceiling that waved all around.
Her king sized bed she also had black bed sheets, a silver comforter that reached the floor, black and silver pillows were littered at the head of the bed along with a few plushies and stuffed animals, and had a silver canopy. It sat in the very top left corner of her room with a nightstand on the right side of her bed. Next to her bed was her walk in closet filled with dark clothes like Neonis.
Her bathroom was just across her bed and had the same tubs and showers in the same place like Neonis' bathroom.
Next to her TV she had a DDR Machine, she was awesome at it and usually her and her boyfriend Demyx, would be playing on it. But whenever her friends came over they competed against her with Amaya winning at the end as usual. Neonis and Demyx were the only ones that were good competitors.
Rarely would Neonis win, and with Demyx, well let's just say that Amaya was usually left in the dust.
On the right side of her closet was her desk and computer, she is usually on mostly typing up stuff or chatting with Neonis or Zexion, even though he was five rooms away from hers. Her plush carpet was a rich silver, with a black broken heart in the dead center of it.
Amaya continued playing for a while waiting for one of her brothers to call her down, and was thinking about before of that unfinished conversation she was having with Amaya. That had started to make her wonder.
"Where was she really last night?" Amaya pondered.
While she was momentarily off guard, in her game she started getting attacked by one of the Twilit Creatures and to her dismay, got a 'Game Over'.
Amaya stared at the words on the screen for a few seconds with an unreadable expression on her face, she blinked once, and than blinked twice.
"Shit!" she cursed.
She sighed as she set down her controller and switched to the Playstation 2 to play 'Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening'.
She played for a while and attempted to fight Cerberus again for the tenth time. Yes, this was her tenth attempt to fighting Cerberus and she was failing miserably. Again.
She pouted in frustration losing to the giant, frozen, three-headed spaniel. She gave up and at that moment a knock came to her door and in came Saïx.
"Amaya, it's dinner time." Saïx said, and quickly left just as he came.
Amaya sighed again and placed her controller down. She walked out of her room down stairs and into the big dining room of her mansion. (A/N: Yes, a lot of people in here have mansions and are rich, deal with it!)
Amaya sat down between her two brothers on the left side of the table. She stared at what was on her plate tonight apparently they were having chicken, peas, mashed potatoes and carrots.
She could deal with the vegetables, but the chicken looked like some jelly substance, she started picking at it with her fork trying to decipher whether it was food or if it was alive.
She continued picking at it for a while watching the chicken jiggle as the fingers of her fork continued stabbing at it. Zexion noticed that she wasn't eating and that she was poking her food instead of eating it.
He watched her for a while and waited to see if either Saïx or his father would say anything if they also noticed that she was playing with her food.
"Amaya. Stop torturing the chicken and eat it." said Xemnas.
Amaya stopped and stared at the chicken for a few more moments before poking it one last time and she swore she saw it writhe and scream, turning to her father who sat at the end of the table she started to whine.
"But dad! The chicken looks like a jelly monster that wants to eat my brain!" she protested with a pout.
"What brain?" Zexion asked.
"Stfu noob!!" Amaya yelled playfully.
Pronounced: Stuh-foo, noob. Kay?
Zexion couldn't help but to stifle a laugh at her reaction, causing him to choke momentarily on his food before he calmed down, he noticed that the corner of Saïx's mouth lifted. He knew that he was finding this amusing to him, that he was choking. Not the conversation between their father and their little sister.
Xemnas put his fork down and looked at the three's direction. Immediately Zexion and Saïx went back to their food, while Amaya was still pouting. It was obvious that she didn't want it.
Xemnas sighed as he called a passing by butler to the table, a pony tailed brunette with brown eyes approached the table and asked of what service his master needed.
"Can you get Amaya something else to eat? She doesn't like what we're eating." Xemnas asked politely. (A/N: He may be rich, but that doesn't mean that he orders people around and is mean, even though he does that in Kingdom Hearts II.)
"Yes sir, right away."
The butler quickly left the table and entered the kitchen getting something that would suit Amaya's appetite.
After a few minutes he came back with a small plate of what looked to be chocolate cake. He approached the table towards where Amaya sat, she had a big wide grin plastered on her face clapping happily.
"Here you are miss Amaya." He announced.
"Dude, call me Amaya. Not 'miss'!" Amaya boomed.
"Yes, miss Amaya."
Amaya groaned in frustration. They always did that and it always annoyed her to no end. "I give up…" she declared.
Xemnas shook his head, while Zexion was laughing again and Saïx continued eating his dinner, acting as if nothing was happening.
"Waaaah! Leave me alone!" Amaya bawled. She picked up her fork and started eating her cake in contentment, a big smile now on her face.
Zexion glanced at Amaya's cake and looked at his dinner. Right now he could really use some cake right now, instead of this crap that the chef's called food. So he did the only thing that he could really do.
He reached over with his fork and took a big piece of her cake and popped it in his mouth.
"Bitch! Don't steal my cake!"
"Amaya, watch your fucking mouth!" Saïx yelled.
Xemnas ran his hand over his face in exasperation while the maids and butlers all just sweat dropped at the scene in front of them.
"Where did I go wrong?" Xemnas wondered.
----
A loud clatter of a fork hitting a plate echoed through Neonis' room as she finished her dinner, she placed her now empty plate on her black desk for now. She would bring it down later or one of the maids would do that for her if she forgot.
She plopped down on her bed and gave a big sigh, she was tired and so she laid there in the comforts of her bed sheets and closed her eyes.
All that could be heard at the moment was her light breathing, that went on for a few moments when she turned on her back and looked up into her black canopy. Her thoughts were back on Leon and her current thoughts about them.
Did she have a chance with him? She was still trying to contemplate if he would in any way be interested in her, but she highly doubted it. She was usually stubborn and always tried to find any loopholes that might be a problem in her area.
But, she didn't want to be selfish and she knew that Leon only thought of her as a good friend and sister.
She didn't like the thought of losing him to someone else, but she wanted him to be happy, if he didn't think of her that way and chose to be with someone else than that would be fine with her.
Her mind took a sudden swerve when an image of Leon appeared in her head, with his light smile that he only and rarely showed to her, fresh in her mind. She tried not to think about it as a pang in her heart stirred.
She growled in frustration and buried her face in one of her pillows and yelled into it. She finally stopped after a few minutes and started scolding herself at her stupidity.
'Get a hold of yourself Neonis, it's over, there's no use in pursuing it any longer. Leon and you are only friends and it'll just have to stay that way.'
She said that, trying to convince herself that she was over him and no longer interested. But deep down she knew she would always love him.
She sighed to herself as she grabbed her cell phone razor and put on her alarm so that she could get ready when she had to go and meet up with Amaya in the morning.
She put her phone down on her nightstand and quickly changed into her Halloween jammies for the night (A/N: I wear my Halloween jammies a lot when I go to bed, so what?) and turned off all her lights and her computer, not wanting any interruptions while she slept.
She closed her eyes thinking about what she and Amaya would do in the morning while they hung out. As she started falling asleep the last thoughts that she had before she entered the world of the dreams, another image of Leon holding her crossed her mind, and she finally blacked out in exhaustion.
----
After about four hours that Neonis was sleeping her mother LuLu, entered her room. With the silence of a cat she walked over to her daughters bed and stopped just inches from her.
She watched as Neonis slept away, the slow rise and fall of her chest, her hands folded under her chin, and her young features calm. She smiled at the sight of her little girl sleeping like she had when she was younger. She sat on the edge of her bed and gently combed a stray bang from her closed eyes.
She looked at her nightstand and noticed the picture of Auron sitting there next to a picture of Leon she had. The sight of her deceased husband brought pain and sorrow to her heart and for her daughter who had loved and adored him very much.
She also knew that Neonis was deeply infatuated with Leon, I mean why else would she keep a picture of him if she didn't? If LuLu knew that someone out there would make Neonis happy, she knew that it was Leon.
She trusted him like a he was a guardian and hoped that she and him will end up together. It seemed rather awkward that a mother wanted her daughter to be with a man, usually mothers were so over protective and guard their little girls like a lioness would their cubs.
She gave a gentle smile at the thought, she couldn't wait to have grandchildren. Her two sons were definitely off the subject, Vincent won't settle down with anyone, he only dated once or twice every few months and Neona was already dating someone but no news of any upcoming grandchildren.
"Sleep well Neonis…" LuLu lightly whispered.
She leaned down and gave a small kiss on her forehead and stood up taking the empty plate with her. She looked back at her daughter who turned on her side and mumbled something inaudible and settled back down.
LuLu smiled and left Neonis' room closing the door behind her.
DarkAngelAssassin666: Well there you go people, that's it for chapter 2, this chapter was mostly based on Neonis' life. I wanted to focus on how to tell how her life was like inside her house and with her family. Though I think this one wasn't all that good, and I'm sorry if LuLu seemed a little too OOC, some of the characters in here will he like that. But anyway, please review and tell me what you think!
