Kaoru smiled at his phone after sending his last message before placing his phone back into his pocket. Soon his driver was pulling up of his residence. Kaoru almost pouted at the sight of it reminding him that he had to probably face his dad once again, since he just ignored his phone all day. Taking a deep breath he steeled himself bracing himself for whatever was probably going to happen. As soon as his driver opened his door, Kaoru gave a small smile before heading inside. "Kaoru Grey Hitachiin! Where the hell have you been." his father demanded as he inwardly winced at the use of his middle name. "I was out."
"Oh, yes I'm sure. You're always just out." his father growled at him.
"For crying out loud, I was with some friends!" he hollered getting annoyed, "not that you would know anything about that." he added under his breath.
Kaoru suddenly found himself being yanked towards his father and colliding with the other male's chest. Instantly the scent of alcohol overpowered his senses and Kaoru realized he had made a horrible mistake in provoking his father in this state. "What did you say to me!" he spat into the younger's face his eyes full of hatred. "The only one without friends is you, you are a worthless individual. Your so called friends just pity you!' his father added before punching the younger in the jaw causing him to crash to the ground.
Kaoru sat up a bit dazed and spat blood from his mouth as he glared at Akihiko Hitachiin. "Everything is your fault you know that!" he continued sending his boot toe into his son's side. "Your mother left us because she couldn't stand the sight of you." A punch to his right temple landed next. "You're worthless, a disgrace to this family. Why did I get stuck with you for a son?" a heel kick to his mid back was added.
Continuously punches and kicks rained down on Kaoru as his father yelled before he finally broke down crying. Kaoru took the opportunity to bolt as he made a dash to the stairs. A lamp flew past him as he took the steps two at a time with his father shouting that he hated him.
Kaoru refused to look back as he bolted to his room before slamming the door and pushing a dresser in front of it to keep everyone out. Pulling off his clothes he stalked to his bathroom and looked in the mirror. Already he could see multiple dark bruises forming along his stomach, chest, sides and back. His face wasn't fairing any better with a dark bruise along his jaw and one on his temple just above his eye. "Damnit," he muttered prodding the bruise. Shaking his head he turned his shower onto cold before getting in. The frozen water helped numb his body from the pain that was everywhere.
Ten minutes later Kaoru lay in his bed trying to ignore the pain that was beginning to creep back into his system. Sighing in defeat he rolled onto his stomach his muscles protesting the movement in such a injured state. "Why couldn't you have just bled faster?"he sulked staring at his still heavily bandaged wrists. He could honestly say he was shocked that the stitches hadn't torn and that all he was feeling was a dull throbbing from them instead. For a while Kaoru could honestly say he just wanted to die again, suddenly his phone buzzing in his pocket brought him out of his morbid state, "Now what do people want?" he groaned grabbing his phone which lay next to him. He replaced the thought when he saw the message was from Hikaru, "Don't forget about the host club tomorrow. I forgot to tell you earlier, sorry! :)"
Kaoru suppressed a groan he didn't want to go to school at all tomorrow. He was just going to get asked questions about what happened and he already knew he was going to feel like complete shit tomorrow with how he felt right now as any indication. Part of him felt ready to tell the other that he wasn't feeling good and that he wouldn't show up but the other part, a stronger part, knew he would show up because he wanted to see Hikaru. Swallowing the rests of whatever excuses he had he replied "Don't worry about it. I'll be there. See you tomorrow, g'night."
"Really my life can't get worse than this," he thought to himself, "For now on my dad is my only problem." Kaoru reminded himself before his phone buzzed at him, quickly pulling it up to reply to Hikaru his heart almost stopped. "Perhaps I spoke too soon." was his only bitter thought.
