"Yeah you were paying attention" he grunted out after all the training they sat at his kitchen while he poured them a drink. Kira went home feeling weird being around Tommy as she climbed up the stairs.

"I must be losing it" she decided then drifted to sleep. At least three hours later she waked up to the sound of her door being kicked in "Dad?" she said horrified, because she knew he was drunk and the consequences for when he was drunk.

He stalked towards her as she tried to run he punched her across the face and she tumbled back falling into her nightstand. He lunged at her pressing her tightly to him and the wall.

"Mom! Mommy help!" she screamed tears on her cheeks. Mrs. Ford was in her room and could hear her daughter scream and knew why Jake was trying to abuse her again, but not wanting to get the blunt beating if she tried to stop the fight she put on the radio and turned up the volume drowning out her daughters' cries.

Kira's dad broke the strap of her yellow top "Stop it!" she yelled, but was silenced with another punch this time followed up with another punch in her gut and a gasped escaped her mouth then using her ranger training she punched her dad then kicked his legs out from underneath him and he landed on the floor. Kira tried to rush around him, but he grabbed her ankle tugging her and she fell.

Her chin, lip, and forehead hit the floor hard she felt him make a move to go over her, but she kicked him in the face once and his hold loosened, but he was still conscious. She raised her leg up then forced it downward into his face as her attacks and liquor knocked him out. She trembled with fear, but quickly grabbed some of her belongings and ran out the house. Hayley had just turned out the lights after calling Billy and fixing out the plan and flights. She heard hard knocking at her door and rushed out of bed if it was Tommy he was going to die. "What the hell do you… she paused as she opened the door to see a busted up Kira. Want" Hayley finished on a soft, but surprised note Kira ran into Hayley's arms soaked and crying.

"Shh… it's okay don't cry" Hayley cooed she draped a warm blanket around the girl's shoulder's and made her some cocoa. Kira told her about her dad and the older woman had to fight the urge not to go to her parents and kill them.

"Can I stay here just for tonight?" Kira was nervously asking "I'm not bad at all" she added when Hayley was quite.

"Of course you can honey" Hayley lead her to a room and in a blink of an eye the young girl was asleep. Hayley checked on her one last time then she called the only person she knew would help her Tommy.

The black Dino ranger was peacefully asleep until the phone rung "Aw man wait" he grunted he picked it up "Connor if it's you I promise you, you won't live"

"Nice to know you can be menacing even half awake" came the female's voice

"Oh my gosh Hayley what do you want? And it better not be about helping you with the café, because I will help you burn it down"

"Yeah whatever and I'll sue you, but I called you for a reason it's about Kira" he yawned

"What about her?"

"She's over here with bruises on her body" he became alert

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah she's asleep right now, but" she paused

"But what?"

"I think it would be safer if she stayed with you" confusion appeared

"What do you mean? She has parents which means a home"

Hayley rolled her eyes "Yeah sure send her back to where the bruises came from; send her back to almost get raped again"

Silence was on the other end and Hayley quickly told him what Kira told her and his body went numb. 'Why would anyone treat her like that? How could they do that to her, Kira their own daughter' he thought.

"Tommy?" she called as the silence dragged on.

"I'll talk to her about it at school"

"I doubt if she can even go she's pretty busted up and in serious pain"

"I'll be there right after school goodnight" he hung up the phone, he thought he could go back to sleep, but the horrible news about Kira robbed him of that possibility.

The next day Kira got up and when she looked at herself in the mirror she saw the existent of her injuries and her mind clicked back to the previous night and she doubled over feeling like she was going to throw up. Hayley saw her "Hey Kira?" she called and Kira felt the nausea slowly leave her. "I don't think you'll be able to go to school"

"Yeah neither do I" she winced. After minutes of convincing Hayley she'll be okay she left for the café.

"So I'm home alone nothing new, but what to do, what to do?" she washed up and bandaged her bruises the hot water on her skin felt like heaven despite the tad bit of stinging.

First period had taken place everyone settled in their seats Connor leaned towards Ethan "That's weird Kira hardly ever misses a day of school"

"Yeah something has to be up"

During lunch time they went to his classroom only to see him and the principle looking to cozy her leg seemed to be caressing his. "Um… I'll…" the two adults heads snapped towards them.

"We'll… just… yeah"

"There's no need we were just talking"

"Uh huh yeah with your legs" Ethan whispered

"You two be good" Elsa foreign a chirpy voice and smile then exited. The boys looked at Tommy's as though he had problems.
"Hey once you get the stars out of your eyes then maybe you'll notice something bad could have happened to Kira" Connor said the dumb jock attitude replaced by a serious one. Tommy fixed him with a glare

"Nothing bad has happened to her" he filled them in that she was at Hayley's, but would soon be living with him.

After school Tommy kept true to his words and went to Hayley's house having the keys he easily walked into the house. Kira was asleep with a bear tucked under her chin he heard the television on upstairs and went towards that direction.

He smiled at the sight of Kira she looked innocent he put her stuff in his car then picked her up walking down the stairs and to his car. Kira sighed burying her face deeper into his chest and he blushed, after 15 minutes they were at his house. He placed the still sleeping Kira on his bed then went to make a few calls. He needed to go through serious worked to be placed as Kira's guardian since her 18th birthday was five weeks away it would be debated.

He made up a room for her and went to put her stuff there. Sweat made his clothes cling to his body and he quickly grabbed a towel and went into the steamy tube. Kira woke up just as he finished his shower she was scared.

"This isn't Hayley's place" the only thing that registered was her parents broke into Hayley's house and kidnapped her. She sat up to fast and her body protested, but she continued getting out the bed and tried to get out.

Tommy had his towel around his waist walking down the stairs his hair wasn't spiky only matted. Kira waited until he was on the last step then jumped on his back cutting off his breath her legs were wrapped around his wait.

The folding of the towel was being undone he noticed and quickly grabbed the towel "Kira let go of me!" he growled out.

That voice it couldn't be "Dr. O?"

"Yeah now release me before my towel comes off!" she hopped off of him.

"Sorry about that" she smiled.

"What the hell were you doing?"

"Why the hell am I here?"

"Hayley's request she said you'll be safer here"

"Obviously not" she looked at his body and her cheeks became red 'Man he's hot he looks different without the glasses and school clothes' she thought while her eyes lingered on the scar that was running from his chest to his side and her thoughts continued. 'Man what I would give to just run my finger tips over them then kiss them…

Tommy looked at Kira whose hair hide her eyes "Damn" came the blurted out response and he smirked

"I'll take that as a compliment" she pushed past him trying to find the kitchen. When she did she opened the freezer sticking her head in and sighed as she noticed how hot she must have been due to how strong she became chilled by the cool air.

"Uh you okay over there"

'No! Not until you put clothes on' she thought, but replied "Yeah just looking for some ice cream"

'To eat off him I bet' her mind teased and Kira nearly lost it 'No to eat' she said in her mind 'Yeah off him' she physically grunted what was wrong with her?

'Shut up' she said to her mind 'Okay I will once Tommy makes me shut up and boy can I think of 399 ways 190 of them are unknown even to me'

She was not hearing this after a few more minutes of battling with her mind she finally closed the freezer only to feel hot all over again. She ducked back into the freezer
