Karou's POV

Too much is going on all at once. With Miyako and Boomer and with Butch and I. Soon enough something will happen with Momoko and Brick. I sighed, leaning back comfortably on the couch.

"Karou are you alright?" Ken asked looking at me. "Are you getting sicknesses?"

"No, I'm alright. I'm just thinking."

"Hey, have you spoken to your brother about things?" Brick asked and I shook my head no. The last time I spoke with him was when I went with Butch to get my things. I barely remember what happened that day. I should talk to him and catch him up with everything that's going on at least.

"I think I'm going to meet up with my brother today." I smiled and Brick looked up at me.

"Do you want me to go with you?" He asked standing up.

"No, I'll go alone."

"But is it safe for you to go alone knowing your condition? I don't think Butch would like it if you were alone."

"I'll be okay." I smiled. "I might be pregnant, but I still know how to kick ass."

"Even so, Brick is right. You shouldn't be alone at any cost. Brick, can you drive her there?" He nodded and I sighed.

"You aren't coming in right?"

"That'll be invading your privacy, and I don't want to do that unless I need to."

I nodded and stood up. "Let's go then." I waved at Ken saying goodbye and walked out with Brick to his car. He opened the door for me, making sure I was okay and pulled off.

"Where does your brother live?"

"We live near the soccer field." I told him as he changed his course.

"Did he really hit you because of Mitch?" Brick blurted out.

"Yeah.. I still can't believe he did that." I sighed and brick glanced at me for a second.

"Did you ever think that Mitch had something to do with your younger brother and your mom?" He asked and my eyes widened. I never thought of that, because at this point it seems likely that he did.

"I haven't.. Should I ask him about it?" Brick nodded.

"He's the only one that would know anything about it. And even if it's not Mitch, you'll know what happened. Brick was right. I should ask Dai about what happened with my parents.

As soon as we got there, I thanked him and got out of the car and walked up to the front of the door and knocked. Seconds later Dai answer. He was only wearing at shirt and boxers, and he smelt like strong liquor.

"Karou? What are you doing here?"

"Yah, why do you look like you got mugged at a bar?" I said noticing bruises on his arm and on his face. He turned away.

"What do you want? I'm busy." He said to me coldly. I pushes passed him and walked into the living room. I heard him sigh as he closed the door and followed me. I turned to face him, not knowing where I wanted this conversation to go.

"A-are you really pregnant with Mitch's child?" I nearly choked.

"WHAT?! Who said that?"

"Butch when he last came here. You were unconscious and-"

"Why would he say that?" I bit my lip. "Mitch isn't the father Butch is." Dai turned pale.

"D-Dai are you okay?" He shook his head no and I guided him to the couch. He say down and mumbled to himself.

"Dai what's going on?" He looked at me scared and I started to worry. His expression changed to anger and started to choke me. I started gasping for air grabbing onto his hands, trying to pull him off me. He dropped me and I fell to the ground, coughing.

"Don't you know you're ruining this family?!" He yelled at me. "Don't you know the only reason Mom and Shou aren't here right now is because of YOU?!" He yelled louder.

"W-what are you talking about?" I stuttered, scared for my life.

"Mitch has Mom and Shou."
