Scared

Never thought that it'd hurt

Several wounds set in this heart

Protect what you can

And live even when the impossible comes

When life is completely out of your reach, what would you do? Well for me I have to stand even when its hard to stand. I have to protect Yo- chan no matter what., but how.

"Yo- chan! I'm going out for a while. I have to go to work!" He just nodded. Okay you may think we live in a home, but we don't. We live in a tree that I created with my elemental alice I stole. How fun. Guess what my job is, a waitress. The good thing is that they don't check for background or anything like that. I have pure luck. I look at least sixteen.

I wonder why I can show my true self to Yo- chan. I mean this facade I carry, is becoming solid. I feel as if I'm sinking into it. No matter how hard this life is, I have to do something. We need food and shelter. Because of that I need to work. Even if this gig as a waitress is dirty.

"Hey waitress! Why don't you sit on my lap!" I stared at the man and replied "If I sit on your lap, then you'd have to give me one hell of a tip." He smirked then took out twenty dollars. I rose my eyebrow and then got on his lap. Its been like this for a while. Men putting tip in my bra and making me do gross things.

But my night just started.

After shift

I went to the changing room. I just had to get out of this maid outfit. Its sickening having to wear it. I unlocked my locker and put all the money I made in my bag. But before I can change, three men were coming in. I stuffed my bag back into the locker and locked it in. I was glaring at the men and spat put "You shouldn't be here. Its prohibited for non- employees to be in the back area.

One of the three came near me. He smelt like alcohol, a very strong scent of Brandy. I tried pushing him away but it was no use. I couldn't possibly use my alice, or I'll be taken away. What could I do. One of the other men grab onto my legs while another had a bottle of whiskey. He grabbed my mouth and started puring down the contents into me. I had to chug it down. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't free myself. I was knocked out cold.

Mans P.O.V

This girl was easy. Touching her was a cinch. You could tell she was young, really young. But even so, I had fun. Having sex with her was one of the best things me and my buddies could have ever done.

End Of P.O.V

I woke up alone in a house, scared out of my wits. When I looked down, I was naked and my blood was on the sheets. It has been the first time I was ever scared about being a alice, for the first time. I just couldn't help being some girl who couldn't protect herself. Its not my fault that this happened. I can't control weather or not I'll be safe, I just can't. I got up and put my maid clothes back on. With that I ran for it. I used the wind alice to cloak me and I used the speed alice to make me get there faster. As I got to the Cafe, I knew I was safe. I came in and the owner was sorry. She couldn't believe that something this horrific happened to me. She had to fire me because of that.

I changed my clothes and took my bag and headed for Youichi.

At the tree

It was weird. I felt another person in our tree. I hope its not a wannabe alice person or whatever. I came in and saw a man. He nodded and said "I see your sister has finally arrived." Yo- chan nodded and I kept a stoic face. I replied "And Who might you be?" He smiled and said "Oh I'm your new master. I will train you how to fight and use your alices." My eyebrow cocked up and I shook my head making it seem like I said no.

Youichi broke in "Onee -chan, give him a chance and where have you been?" I muttered "I was sort of attacked." Youichi's eyes widened and he barked "What, where are they! I'm gonna kill who ever touches you!" I was grateful but this silver haired child shouldn't fight because of me.

The man suddenly spoke up "Youichi you shouldn't fight with anger. You should channel your anger into energy. And with that, I'll teach you how." I was about to say something but I stayed quiet.

After a month

"Shishou, you amazing. How do you fight so well?" I asked emotionlessly. He smiled and cheered "Because, I'm so amazing!" That cocky bastard! Who does he think he is praising his self. "Oh I see." My eyebrow was twitching. "Mikan, I want you to become a street fighter. Thats the only way you can make good money." I nodded and got back to training.

After working so hard I joined street fighter tournaments. I worked my ass off just to make a living for Yo- chan and I. But all of that came crashing down when the alice academy people showed up.
