AN: This small chapter is "I'm very sorry for making you guys wait over half a year for the next chapter I'm so sorry!" Like I said small chapter next one will be longer I promise ;). I do appreciate all the reviews and the follows. Thanks for staying around this long you guys!


I stabbed my fork with obvious aggression in my rubbery fish.

It was utter crap.

Yet compared to anyone in the Akatsuki brave enough to take the challenge of cooking, this garbage made their food taste like God himself plucked the fish out of the ocean and grilled him.

Another vicious stab.

I shouldn't be eating this, neither should they… 'And who's fault is this?' I thought sarcastically. On cue I heard her sigh heavily across the table. She's been like this for DAYS now. I looked up from my tempting meal to gaze at my sister. Her hair; messy and tangled from lack of care fanned partly over the table where her head laid, while the rest compressed to her face either from sweat or tears.

Another heavy sigh.

My knuckles turned white from gripping my fork with needless force. Five days, FIVE DAYS she's been like this! No words ever came out of her mouth, only sighs and if you were lucky a small almost inaudible grunt. I inhaled through my nose, slowly letting the air out from my mouth. This was not the time to snap, she just needed time. Though it HAS been five days… No,no,no I couldn't nit pick she just needs-

"Siiiiiiiigh…"

That's it. "SHUT THE HELL UP HANA!" I screamed throwing my fork right at her head. She lifted her head off the table and slouched it back against her chair sighing once more, narrowly escaping my flying fork that landed firmly in the table with a loud "thunk". Tch, even as a zombie her defensive reflexes are incredible. "Ichigo…" I heard Konan quietly call my name. Anger boiled inside me. "I know!" I yelled. I knew why, everyone knew why she was like this. I heard everything father told Hana.

"I'm dying Hana…"

I slammed my fist into the table, you may have been the instigator Hana but I MADE him do it. You are not the sole reason for his death. Since that night food has been retched, she hasn't said ONE word, and her health has been slowly declining. The Akatsuki have also been warped by her emo behavior, they try and I mean they TRY to help her to no avail. Tobi has long since given up and silently follows her around constantly to make sure she doesn't accidentally kill herself. It's happened a few times, just yesterday the kitchen was set on fire.

But there was more to it.

I took another deep breath and sighed myself. There was more than hearing your mother and father are going to die that turned her into this.

There was more, the things I've heard… I sat back down slowly resting my forehead in the palms of my hands.

"Yes… Alex." , "Your Mask is slipping...", "She's hyperventilating." These words echoed inside my head, causing tremendous pain. The throbbing felt like a migraine forcing my eyes close. I knew the reason why she was like this…and so much more. Hana and the rest of the Akatsuki seem to confuse "spoiled" for "stupid". Their mistake, like Hana I love it when people underestimate me… Hana has an outstanding intellect herself (she does have HALF of father's blood in her), yet her anger clouds her judgement most of the time. I on the other hand use my actions as a cover. Even I, a spoiled mafia's daughter was drilled in protection, defense, and the importance of misdirection.

For Hana her defense was her offense. Underestimating her will cost you your life… For me I prefer good old fashion reconnaissance. I am still lazy after all and prefer to use others to do my work for me, hence the bug I planted in her room when she caught me sneaking around. And now for the first time in my life I regret my actions. I chuckled under my breath rubbing my temples. Me, Ichigo Awayuki REGRET doing something that benefits ME.

Seeing my sister in misery is delightful. I do enjoy teasing her, yet this is something else altogether. This is BROKEN, and now I possess information that the two men Hana TRULY trust are deceiving her. One is out to kill her, if in fact it is HIM. And the other is using her. Yet Hana is oblivious to this, as she should be. Something ELSE happened to Hana after she went to bed that night.

"She's hyperventilating."

Hana must have nearly drowned in the lake, and my guess is whatever she witness/experienced caused her to fully shut down.

"Momma…" Those were the last words I heard her say, five days ago. I got up out of my chair opening my eyes after I heard Hana sigh. This needed to stop, or I'd go insane from this anger and knowledge. I want my sister back, even if it means I have to push her buttons. There is one thing you can not deny; the Awayuki clan is ruled by anger, and I knew how to piss Hana off. I smirked walking around the table to my sister.


AN: So? What did you guys think of it being in Ichigo's POV? Bet you guys were not expecting some of this! I kind of got the idea from someone who suggested Ichigo finding out Tobi's true identity! Next chapter will have two important things will happen. One is... Hana's underwater adventure! Two the wicked witch is coming home! Oh snap! So I'm wondering if Gali should go for the mental or physical or both idk... For mental I had an idea but it was a lil cliche and eehhhhhh... but gets the point across. Don't worry Tobi will have his chapter I promise! Also... Halloween chapter, who dresses up as who? Ideas? Go! And finally expect the next chapter soon!
