Mari ran as fast as she can into the streets trying to forget what just happen. She slowly stopped in front of a store. She looked and saw it was a bookstore. Mari smiled 'I remember…' She walked inside.

~Flashback~

"Mija, come here." Mari's mother spoke out as she pulled her to a bookstore. "What mama?" little 7 yr old Mari asked as she curiously looked at the books. Mari's mother grabbed a book and showed it to her. The title was "To Kill a Mockingbird" "What is it?" Mari asked. Her mother smiled "This is a key to get you a better life." Mari looked confused. "This life we have is troubled…we barely got away from your father…" Her mother spoke with a thick accent. "I want you to learn…everything you can. Everything you learn will help for a better future. Trust me Mija; it's your key of being free…"

Mari came out of the store with a sigh of relief and started to head out. After a while, she noticed a group of guys following her. She tried to calm herself down, and remembered that she can handle this. She walked faster as she saw them getting closer. 'Don't panic' Mari thought and she turned a corner.

"Hey sweetie! Where're you going?"

"Cutie, come back here!"

"Why you running?"

Mari was getting annoyed at them; she finally turned and shouted "Fuck off assholes!!!!" The leader of group smirked "Hey she's feisty, I like that! Hold her down." Mari quickly dash through an ally. 'Just keep running' she thought but stop when she saw at the end of the ally were more men. They pulled out some knifes as they came close to her. Mari got into a fighting stance. The guys lunged at her but she stepped aside and flipped over two guys. Soon her arms were pulled back and she was pushed into a wall "Oof!" She saw two other guys holding her up against the wall and another grabbing her leg. 'No' she panicked and she did the next thing she knew: scream.

She screamed as loud as she could and soon she heard a shout:

"KYA!!"

She soon felt the weight off of her as she slowly opening her eyes to see Mori standing over her and she saw Hunny taking down the guys. Mari looked back at Mori and saw he was offering his hand. She grabbed his hand and he helped her up. Mari turned to see that all the guys were on the ground groaning and the leader with a BIG bruise on his head. Mari tried to calm herself by breathing slowly but failed as she felt tears coming out. Hunny came up to and hugged her legs and asked "Are you ok Ma-chan?" Mari shook her head "I think…"

Hunny and Mori took Mari away from the ally and started walking. They soon stop in front of a park. Mari walked to the swing and sat. Mori turned to Hunny and nodded. Hunny ran off to find Hikaru and Kaoru. Mari began to swing and Mori just stared at her.

"Mari" Mori said. Mari refused to look up.

"I don't need pity…especially from Men I can't trust them." Mari spoke out. Mori raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"The night of that storm is still strong in my mind…also the abuse. What kind of man beats his wife , 5 yr old daughter and 17 yr old son?…My father was always a drunk every night he'll come home drunk and start a fight with my mother. If it wasn't for my older brother being there, he could have killed both of us." Mari sighed and felt tears coming out. Mori's eyes got wide.

"He would hit her and me almost all the time. We lived in fear. My brother…he was our protector…but on days he was at school and our dad came home…he would beat my mom senseless until she passed out…and then…he would either try to drown me or break glass on me…fuck it wasn't until my brother came home one day with the cops that the bastard was taken away from us…" Mari cried a little more "We soon move away from there…away from the painful memories…did you know I was born in Miami? It wasn't until we moved to New Orleans…After the storm that night…my older brother…my protector, he left me…how could he?"

Mari cried harder until she felt a pair of arms surround her. She looked up to see Mori hugging her. She hugged back crying more. 'I hate this pain…'


Rani wiped her tears and looked at Kyouya. "I'm so sorry…I mean to tell you soon but…" Kyouya nodded "I understand you don't have to be, Rani." Rani slowly got up and stared at the pills. Kyouya got up as well and asked "Do you need to sit down?" Rani nodded "No…Mari is right…I don't want to end up like my mother…"

~Flashback~

"Mommy?" Little 8 yr old Rani called out when she entered to house. She looked around the house until she reached her mother's bedroom. She was afraid for a moment because her mother usually banned her from the bedroom. "Mama?" Rani asked as she knocked on the door. The door opened by the knocking and Rani looked inside to see her mother on the bed apparently sleeping. Rani came closer to the bed and saw capsules of pills on one side and on the other was two bottles of whiskey. "Mama?" Rani whispered. Her mother wasn't breathing. Rani soon got the phone and dialed a number.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"My Mom is not breathing…she's in bed with, I think pills and some bottles of a smelly water looking thing."

"Ok Sweetie, are you sure?"

"Yes Ma'am I don't know what's wrong"

~Back~

Rani sighed and sat at the table. "I need to talk to Mari…"


Mari walked in the home with Mori and saw the other host club with Rani at the table. Tamaki got up and said "Mari-san I wish that you and your sister talk this out…it breaks my heart to see family fight each other." Mari slowly nodded and looked at Mori. He nodded as well. Mari sat at the table across from Rani and the other members got up and left the room. Both stayed quiet for a while until Rani spoke in Punjabi

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you I was back on the pills…"

Mari spoke back in Punjabi as well

"Five months Rani…Sayuri and I were crying because we prayed that you will get better."

"I know…but the stress of moving and missing my family has…"

"Damn it Rani, you could have talk to me, Sayuri, Sumomo, Haruhi, even the Host club! Anything to prevent you to going back."

"I don't know but…I'm getting help!"

"Please…That's all I want."

"I will get help; I have someone helping me too."

"Kyouya?"

"! How did you…?"

"I figured…I don't like him but if he's helping you…its fine."

" Thank you…I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry too for yelling and almost hitting you Rani, I lost my temper…"

Both Mari and Rani got up and hugged other. The host club came in and Haruhi asked "Everything fine now?" both girls nodded. Tamaki hugged both girls and squealed "Oh My Daughters have finally made up with each other!!" Rani laughed and Mari sighed feeling sleepy.

Sayuri walked in the house after a long day of work and soon heard talking and laughter. "Rani? Mari?" Sayuri called out. Rani popped her head from the other room. "Yea mom?"

Sayuri asked "What's going on?" Mari's head popped out as well "We got friends over, that's okay right?" Sayuri slowly nodded "I guess…" the girl went back to the room and Sayuri smiled to herself 'I'm glad they're opening up…'
