As the girls in the back of the car we're busy caring for Yui. The worried driver flew down the highway.

"Wait, what am I going to do about this? Ojousama's family are going to fire me If I'm late!" He thought Internally, as he looked down at his watch. Which read 9:25.

"Yo! Driver guy!" The girl with a yellow headband yelled from behind him. "Watch where you're going! We have wounded back here!"

The next thing he heard was a loud slap, followed by another girl yelling angrily about how it wasn't time for game references. Or something like that.

"Sorry sorry! I'm doing the best I can here!" The driver continued to make a sharp left down a road filled with houses on each side. "Your house is right here…correct?" He asked after stopping quickly.

"Yes sir, thank you!" They yelled as they ran into the house carrying the injured girl on their back.

"Wait how did they get there so fast?…oh shoot!" He cursed rolling down the window. "Wait Tsumugi-Ojousama!…You're supposed to come with me!" The driver yelled out the window to the girl.

"I'm staying here and thats final! My father will get over it!" She yelled. "You might want to get back though if you still want your job!" She continued before slamming the door closed.

"Dammit Dammit Dammit!" The man cursed loudly, slamming his head into the steering wheel. Producing loud bangs.

Crack!~

The man lifted his head up from the steering wheel slowly. "Now I'm definitely screwed…" He said to himself, looking down at the now cracked steering wheel.

AboutTwenty Minutes Later at Mio's House

"Do you really think we shouldn't?" Azusa asked the group. Who were sitting around the kotatsu as Yui slept on the couch. "I mean there's obviously something going on. With what Ui has been saying…and all the bruises…" She added, looking over towards the sleeping figure.

"Yeah but guess what happens if they get away with it?" Ritsu said back to the girl across from her. "Yui gets a beating, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that to happen." She said as the guitarist hung her head.

"Can we please not fight?" They heard Ui ask while sitting beside them. "onee-chan is hurting, and I really don't think fighting would help us." She continued, looking around at everyone.

"I agree" Mugi chimed in pouring everyone tea. "Right now our main objective is to help Yui-chan however we can. To do that we need to stick together." She said sitting down and taking a sip of tea herself.

And then came the awkward silence, really awkward silence. The kind of awkward silence that makes you write 100 words about the awkward silence. Just so you don't have awkward silence.

"Anyway, I'm going to get everyone some stuff to wear tonight." Mio said getting up and grabbing her empty tea cup. "Ritsu, would you mind coming with me?"

"Awwww~ I don't wanna get up" Ritsu said slumping onto the table. "I come over all the time anyway why do you need me?"

"Because I said so, now get up" Mio said walking over to drag her out from under the kotatsu.

"Azusa-chan, Ui-chan. I'm going to take care of the dishes, would you mind keeping an eye on Yui-chan?" Mugi asked picking up all the plates and cups.

"Nope, we'd be happy to." Ui said smiling as Azusa just nodded her head.

"Great! I'll be in the kitchen then. If you need anything just yell for me." Mugi spoke before walking out of the room.

As Mugi walked out of the room Azusa let out a small sigh as she let herself fall onto her back. "How are you doing Ui?" The girl asked looking over towards her classmate.

"I…don't know" Ui said looking over towards her sister. "I guess I just never would have expected something like this to happen. You know what I mean?" She continued, moving her gaze back to Azusa.

"Yeah, I kinda do…I mean it just hurts to see her like that…but I don't even want to know what it's like for you. Being her sister and all."

"I guess it just hurts. It's been like this for so long and there was nothing I could do." Ui said remorsefully. "No matter how hard I try, onee-chan keeps getting hurt." Ui continued.

"How long has this been going on for?" Azusa asked, before noticing her mistake. "I'm sorry, If you don't want to talk about it I understand." She said nervously, scared she offended the girl she was speaking with.

"No it's okay, you didn't do anything wrong at all…it's a good question." Ui paused for a moment in thought. "I would say ever since onee-chan was about six….Have I told you the story about that Christmas?"

"I don't think so, what happened?" Azusa asked, quite curious herself.

"Well, where do I start…" Ui said putting her hand on her chin. "I guess the day before Christmas was when it all started."

Christmas Eve Night

As dusk had fallen upon the neighborhood two young girls were busy putting the final touches on their Christmas tree.

"Onee-chan! Be careful, you'll fall!" The younger of the two shouted in warning, grabbing the wobbling stool before her sister fell.

"Al…Most…Got it…There!" The girl on the stool said happily. "Ui~ What do you think?" She said turning around quickly and sitting down.

"It's…perfect…" Ui said looking up at the tree, now with a star adorning the top. "I wonder if Santa will come…"

"Sometime I forget to do my homework, and I don't always make it to lunch on time" The younger version of Yui said with a start. "I haven't been that good…so maybe he won't come…" Yui said turning back to the tree and putting her hands together. "May I get presents!" She said with determination.

"It'll be okay, onee-chan! I know Santa will bring you presents." Ui said smiling up towards her sister.

"You should make a wish too, Sis!" Yui said looking back at her sister.

"I hope that we have a white Christmas this year." Ui wished, as her sister had done moments before.

"White Christmas?"

"It's a Christmas where snow has fallen and made everything really pretty and white!" Ui said joyfully, her short ponytail waving back and forth as she spoke.

"Ui! Ui!" The young girl shouted for her sister that morning, shaking her away as she reached her bedside.

"Come on! We need to hurry!" Yui said frantically, as she ran down the stairs and threw on her shoes. With her sister in tow.

"Onee-chan wait up!" Ui said sitting down and throwing on her shoes quickly. Before following her sister.

"Ta-dah!" The Older sibling shouted opening up the front door.

As she opened the door her younger sisters face lit up. Seeing the "Snow" which was on the bush growing in front of their home.

"It's a white Christmas!" Yui cheered as her sister ran up to the tree.

With a quizzical expression on her face Ui walked up to the bush. Grabbing the snow and pinching it between her fingers. And then looking back towards her sister. "Onee-chan, what is this?"

"It's stuffing from a cushion!" Yui said picking up a ripped open pillow cover and smiling cheekily as her sister looked on with concern.

"You see that's when it all started really. Yui got yelled at and sent to her room for the rest of the day. I don't remember what they did with her presents though" Ui said finishing her story. "But it kept getting worse, it went from yelling at her and sending her to her room for the smallest of things. To locking her in her room for days at a time."

"Oh my gosh, that's terrible!" Azusa said angrily. "How did they get away with that?"

"Well I went to school every day and didn't really see Yui as much as I wanted to until recently. Which is why I didn't know my father hit her until I saw the bruises on her arm." Ui said, looking over to her sister once again. "I guess they did all that stuff before I understood it wasn't normal…and when I did, they scared us into not saying anything." Ui said, looking back at Azusa.

"I really don't even know how to answer that." Azusa spoke after some silence. "I mean…poor Yui, I couldn't even imagine what she went though." She said, hearing hurried steps coming from the stairwell.

"Ritsu! Don't run with those! You'll drop them all!" They could hear Mio yell.

"Okay, okay! Such a dangerous queen…" She spoke under her breath walking into the room and setting the clothes on the couch.

"What was that?" The bassist said walking up behind her and getting ready to give her friend another head chop.

"Nothing, nothing…!" Ritsu said waving her hands in front of her face. "Anyway! We brought down clothes for everyone." The drummer said, changing the subject. "So whoever wants to go first, the bath is ready."

"Well, I'm done washing the dishes. But I don't really need a bath just yet. Why don't we have Yui get hers. She's been through a lot today, and a bath would probably help." Mugi said stepping out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"Yeah that's a good idea, is that alright with everyone?" Mio said walking over to the girl sleeping on the couch and waking her up.

"Ehhh~ What's going on?" Yui asked groggily, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"It's time for you to take your bath." Ui said. "Your clothes are right here and the bath is ready." Ui continued, handing Yui her clothes.

"Okay…thanks." Yui said still sleepy, getting up and walking up the stairs after thanking her sister.

"No problem, onee-chan!" Ui said, trying to sound as happy as possible.

Meanwhile in a Manor Somewhere in the Mountains...

"Mitsubishi-San! What on earth are you thinking!" Ryuuji yelled, scaring the driver out of his mind. "You don't just leave our daughter there like that!"

"Kotobuki-sama, I'm sorry! I'll never do so again! Please forgive me!" The driver said, frantically bowing to the man standing in front of him.

"Not to mention, you broke the steering wheel! Do you have any idea it will cost to repair that?" The man asked, combing his hair to one side.

"No Kotobuki-sama, I don't…" He said while hanging his head.

"10,000 dollars! That's how much!" The man yelled turning around to face him. "And me and my wife are supposed to go on a trip tomorrow!" He continued. "And now we can't because the steering wheel is broken, and my wife doesn't feel same if the car."

"Kotobuki-sama, I really am sorry, I'll pay for it." The driver said looking him square in the eye.

"And where exactly are you going to get 10,000 dollars?"

"I'll work! I'll work until it's payed off!" Mr. Mitsubishi said, just trying to save his job at this point.

"If you say so…now I don't want to see your face again until the morning. You got that?" The oldest Kotobuki said, walking out of the room.

"Yes sir!" He answered, walking over to the mirror and examining himself. "What am I getting myself into?" He asked himself as he looked into the mirror. His collared shirt wrinkled and his hair a mess.

"I don't think I'll ever dig myself out of a hole like this!" He shouted, bringing his fist down on the counter. "Oh…no, that didn't just happen. It couldn't have…I didn't just…I'm Screwed. I'm Really Screw
