My POV:

I slammed my alarm clock off in anger as I woke up, a dark aura surrounding me. "H-hikari…." Penelo stuttered. I rushed into the bathroom, showering and getting myself ready for school as quickly as possible. I saw my mom cooking and Kai-nii packing the bentos. I slammed my school bag down on the couch and I heard Kai-nii let out a small scream, then Mom comforting him. I stomped downstairs after putting on my shoes and angrily set up the restaurant for opening.

"Stupid bitch….make my day all screwed up. Fuck that bitch…." I mumbled as I stomped back up the stairs, my hair in a headband. I didn't usually put my hair down, and everyone knew that. I saw everyone already eating and I sat down in my chair, silently eating.

"Now now Hikari. Please don't act like that in school. Nana has been put in juvie until trial, which will be three days from now. Honey please, we're all mad about this issue, but don't let it affect how you do in school, all right?" Mom asked of me. I sighed and nodded, trying to finish up my breakfast quickly.

"I'll walk to school today. I need to blow off some steam." I explained.

Fumiko-nee exclaimed, "But it's too-"

"Let her go." Kai-nii cut off with his eyes closed. He gave me a small smile and a pat on the head. I said goodbye to my family and hurriedly put my school shoes on, grabbed my bento and school bag, then headed out. I packed my bento into my school bag and walked to school, listening to music on my mp3. As I walked, some of the anger washed away. When I arrived to school, I saw Kai-nii and Fumiko-nee waiting for me by the entrance. I ran over to them and started walking beside Kai-nii as we entered school. A lot of people were whispering and pointing to Kai-nii. I glared at a group of girls who were gossiping about Oniichan. Kai-nii just held my arm tightly as we made it through the crowd of people. All of a sudden, Nana's little group stood in front of us.

"I heard you and Nana slept with each other! Hah! As if. I bet you raped her, didn't you?" one girl said in her nasal voice. I took a deep breath, trying not to punch her in the face. Although, Fumiko-nee beat me to it as she surprisingly slapped the girl in the cheek.

"Fumiko." Kai-nii called out sternly. Fumiko-nee scoffed.

She counteracted, "Oh give me a break. Why don't you try getting your facts straight first bitch? Like my brother would rape her. Hah! Bet her pussy's probably swollen from all the guys she slept with! Oh wait, guess that's you too!" Fumiko-nee huffed with satisfaction and dragged Kai-nii and I along.

"Neechan!" I exclaimed in shock. Fumiko-nee smiled confidently.

"I can make good comebacks too you know. It runs in our family." Fumiko-nee explained as she gave me a high five.

"Hikari. Go with your friends. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Kai-nii told me with a small chuckle. I looked at him worriedly, but he just shoved me in the direction of my patient friends. "Plus, you'll be late for your class! Hurry!" Kai-nii called out. I smiled and waved goodbye as I ran to my friends.

"Hikari! I heard what happened! Is Kai-senpai ok?" Sakuno exclaimed worriedly. I nodded with a small smile.

"Yeah he's all right." I answered. Ryoma and Kyoya glanced at Kai-nii.

Daichi asked with a smirk, "Aren't you pissed? The Hikari we know would be pounding her ass right now!" I shrugged.

"Eh, she's going to trial and will pay for what she's done anyways. I blew my steam off while walking to school. I pummeled her yesterday so that was enough." I replied as we started walking to our class. Once we got seated, I saw a few students looking at me and whispering to each other. I sighed and rested my head on the desk. *Today is going to be a loooong day….* I thought.

Well, the day passed by rather quickly. Thank god. It was lunch time and my friends and I decided to sit with Kai-nii and Fumiko-nee. As we ate, a bunch of jocks on the boys' tennis team went over to us.

"Well well if it isn't the man whore." one of the boys sneered at Kai-nii. Kai-niichan stood up and banged his fists on the table. Fumiko-nee made him sit down. I huffed and stood up, trying to size the jocks up, which ended up in me failing.

"What do you want from Kai-nii? What? Jealous that he got laid and you never will?" I taunted. One of the boys wolf whistled. The guy in front of me smirked.

He said, "What are you going to do to me? Throw rice in my face?" I scoffed and put on a smirk as well.

"Nah, I'll just do this." I grabbed onto his shoulders and kneed him in the balls. All the boys flinched. The boy who insulted my brother groaned and held onto his little manhood. "What? Gonna cry to your mom? Guess what dude, try to take my brother on. I'm confident he'll beat you anyday! SO COME AT US BRO!" I shouted. Everyone in the cafeteria cheered for me and I smiled in confidence. However, a teacher came in and everyone became silent.

"What happened here?" the teacher asked. I sighed.

I answered, "Yamada-sensei. This boy here tried to do something inappropriate to me, so my friends defended me." The teacher sighed as the boy got up.

"Come with me. To the office mister." the teacher ordered as she dragged the guy by the ear. I smirked with satisfaction and sat back in my seat.

"Whoa. Hikari. Didn't know you could be that bad." Ryoma teased. I giggled and finished my lunch. Kai-nii and Fumiko-nee stared at me with proud smiles. After lunch, we went to our last classes. Once the last class of the day ended, I said goodbye to my friends and hurried over to Kai-nii and Fumiko-nee. "Let's go home." Kai-nii declared with a sigh as he saw Takashi-nii pull up. We hurried to get into the car, but someone grabbed my arm.

"Wait!" I heard someone say. I turned around and saw Sakuno panting. She smiled and grabbed something from her school bag. Sakuno took my hand out and handed me a container. "It's filled with rice cakes. Thought it would help cheer you guys up." I smiled and hugged my best friend tightly.

"Thanks Sakuno! You're the best!" I shouted as we let go of each other. Sakuno smiled back and lightly shoved me in the direction of my siblings. I went inside the car and put on my seatbelt. "Sakuno made us some rice cakes." I informed them as I opened the container and handed everyone a rice cake, including Takashi-nii. We all began silently eating in the car.

"So." Takashi-nii spoke up. "How was school Kai?" Kai-nii groaned.

"Everyone kept staring at me in class. Then, during lunch…." Kai-nii explained to Takashi-nii.

"Hikari! You shouldn't do that next time. Just let the boy go and tell him off, but don't need to hurt his pride." Takashi-nii scolded me.

"He deserved it!" I shouted back in my defense as I ate another rice cake. Once we got home, I went upstairs and greeted the gang, who were in my room going through my albums. "How was your guys' day?" I asked them as I quickly got out my Math homework, which was the only homework for the day.

"It was good." Sem answered for the gang.

"Hikari. How was Kai during school?" Larsa asked worriedly.

I worked on my homework as I answered, "He was doing ok. Rumors were spreading, but we'll deal with it." Vaan went over and hugged me. I put down my pencil and hugged him back tightly with a content sigh. When we let go of each other, I finished up my homework and stared at the gang.

"What?" Penelo asked me with a smile. I smiled back.

I declared, "Let's go to the park." as I started looking for suitable clothes in my closet.

"Park?" Larsa asked curiously. "A park is like a place with lots of grass and it's peaceful. People can relax and play there." I explained as I picked out blue skinny jeans and a white Hollister shirt. I changed, then went back out as I saw the others changed as well. "How'd you guys change so fast?" I asked him in astonishment.

"We just did." Sem answered nonchalantly as he shrugged his shoulders. I grabbed my bag and hung it across my shoulders. We headed downstairs after putting on our shoes and bid goodbye to my mom.

"Mom! We're going to the park!" I shouted into the kitchen.

"Ok honey! Be back before 6!" I checked the time and it was 4:30. We all headed out and walked to the park.
