Chapter Eight - Back To Ma. and A New Sister.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KAI'S P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't notice the journey to my Ma's new house. I was too scared and too nervous
to notice anything. They took me through the bad area of town. "Oh great. The area
where you could scream for three days straight and nobody would give a shit." I
thought as the car drove up to a block of grotty flats. There was a sign on posts
outside.
OAKWOOD FLATS.
1- 350
"Really cheerful spot." I said, the sarcasm dripping from my voice. The Sergent and
another cop looked at me as if I was the one who tried to knife my kid. They also
looked at me as if I should be grateful to be here. Oh yeah, I'm gonna jump up and
down and run into my mommy's waiting arms. Fuck No, this wasn't the movies. The
cops walked me up sixteen flights of stairs. To the top of the appartment block. For
each flight of stairs I passed, I saw a sign with the flat numbers. I kept walking and
reading.

I saw the last sign. "Your mother's appartment is No. 345." the Sergant said to me.
"Oh Joy." I said. Sarcasm, dripping from my voice, for the second time today. The
Sergant knocked on the appartment door. My Ma answered. "Thank you so much
officers, for bringing my son home." My Ma said. I kew she was chatting shit so that
they'd leave. They took the bait, and started off downstairs. Ma pulled me inside.
"O.K. Kai. here's the deal. you do your fair share and look after the brat and I'll
leave you to your own business." Ma said. Hearing herself mentioned, said *brat*
Hikari, came out of one of the rooms. She looked very pale and dirty. "I'm going out
for a while. When I come back, I expect to see this place, and the brat, clean. Do you
understand me Kai?" Ma said. I nodded. I was at least 5 ft 7, but Ma towered over
me at 6 ft. She still scared me at any rate. Ma walked out of the door. When she was
gone, Hikari walked up to me. She looked at me warily, as if I might kick her if she
tried to talk to me, or as if I might disappear. "Hi Hikari." I said, and smiled at her.
She smiled and grabbed a hold of my leg. I managed to pry her off and lifted her
into my arms. She was so thin and tiny, that her slight weight was no problem to lift.
She held on to my neck and buried her head into the crook of my neck. I couldn't
help but smile. I guess I didn't mind, opening up to my new, sweet, little sister. She
got down when she saw that I was going to clean up. I took off my arm guards and
put them on the living room table. I filled up the kitchen sink with water and started
to wash the dishes, while Hikari followed me everywhere. "Can I help?" She asked.
"Sure, why not. Here Squirt, I'll wash and you dry." She smiled and took the towel. It
was the only clean thing in the entire appartment.
We washed the dishes and then I hoovered the whole place. She followed behind me
with a dustpan and brush, picking up whatever the hoover couldn't. I was impressed.
She was tiny, but she still knew how to keep an appartment clean. She smiled at me
when I looked back. She followed me like a puppy dog. I couldn't help but smile at
her. Her messy hair, continually falling in her face, she continually ran to keep up
with me and my quick pace. I looked at her clothes. They were so dirty and covered
with grime that I nearly puked. I mean come on, I was used to everything being
clean, My Grandfather was loaded. "Well I'll have to do the laundry after we've
cleaned everything else." I thought as Hikari followed me around. "I guess she
grows on you after a while." I thought, as she followed me everywhere.
We finished the hoovering and started cleaning the kitchen. The kitchen was
absolutly filthy. When I had lived with Ma, she'd been the same sloppy, person. Why
did I expect her to be different now? I didn't really. I guess I just hoped she'd be
different. After we scrubbed the kitchen, we moved on to the bathroom. The bath
had dirt all over it and the toilet was worse than a public loo. I started scrubbing the
bath with bleach. If I asked Hikari to do something, she did it, otherwise she just
watched me. She sat in a corner of the bathroom. I had cleaned the bath and sink
until they shone. I was never one to give up on anything. I moved onto the toilet. I
scrubbed and used tons of bleach. I couldn't clean the toilet properly. It was
impossible. I looked at Hikari. "Hey squirt, have you got any clean clothes?" I asked
her. She looked at me with her big, blue eyes. She ran into the room that she had
come out of, before Ma left. I followed her in.
The room was sparsely furnished. There was a wardrobe, a small toy box, a small
cabinet and two beds. One was bigger than a usual single bed, but it wasn't a
double bed. It had a black quilt and pillow. The other bed was a small bed. It had a
pink quilt and pillow. Hikari ran up to the wardrobe and opened it. There were
fifteen T-shirts, three pairs of jeans, three pairs of dungeree's and a blue dress. I
also saw a pair of blue pumps. Hikari looked through the clothes. I smiled. I really
couldn't help it. "I'll look through the clothes, O.K. squirt?" I said. She looked at me
and smiled. I looked at her. She was very dirty and grimy. "O.K. I'm gonna run you a
bath, come on squirt." I said.
The only clean clothes I could find, were the blue dress, one set of underwear and a
pair of socks. I took them with me into the bathroom and placed them on top of the
toilet lid. I ran the bath for her and left her to her own devices, while I looked for a
phone, so that I could call Tyson and tell him and the others that I was O.K. I
couldn't find a phone in the house. I even looked in Ma's room. I cleaned it up
aswell. I heard Hikari call me. "Kai, Kai." I went to the bathroom door. "What's up
squirt?" I said. "There isn't no more s'ampou." Hikari said. "Oh great." I thought.
"O.K. squirt, I'll get you some." I said. I felt really nevous. I mean how many fifteen
year olds help their younger siblings while they're in the bath. then again, how
many fifteen year olds had nearly been stabbed to death, by their mothers. I looked
through my bag and found my shampoo. I went back to the bathroom and handed it
to Hikari through the door. "Than ku Kai." Hikari said. I smiled at her, (WOW, I'm
doing that a lot lately, aren't I?) and went to find some clean clothes that I could
wear. I opened my bag and pulled out one of my black vests, a pair of my trademark
blue jeans and another scarf. (What, you think I only have one scarf.)
Hikari came into the bedroom with a huge towel wrapped around her. I had to stifle
my laughter. She could barely reach my knee and she looked like she was wearing a
tent. "O.K. squirt. Where are your clothes?" I asked her. "Oops, I fourgot them in da
batroom, Kai." Hikari said. I shook my head and went into the bathroom and got her
clothes and took them to the bedroom. Hikari followed me there and back. I picked
up my own clothes and then looked at Hikari. "O.K. squirt, listen. I'm gonna go and
have a bath. You get dressed and I'll help you with your hair." I said. She nodded
and I went into the bathroom. I let out the water from Hikari's bath, which was
practically black. I had to scrub the bath again. It didn't take me so long this time.
It took me about fifteen minutes. I ran another bath and got in.
When I finished my bath, I got dressed and picked up my dirty clothes. I went into the bedroom and saw Hikari struggling to do up the fiddly buttons on the front of her dress. She had managed everything else. She'd even pulled on a pair of socks and her pumps. I shook my head and went over to her. "Hey squirt. Need a hand?" I said. She smiled and nodded. I knelt down in front of her and did up the buttons. The dress she wore, had short sleeves and a long skirt. The skirt reached her ankles. Her hair was a mess. "Hey squirt. Have you got a hairbrush?" I asked her. She looked at me and went to the small cabinet. She gestured for me to come over. I opened the top drawer of the cabinet. There were a lot of tangled up hair acessories and a hairbrush. I set to work, untangling the hair acessories and brush. Hikari watched me work. When I was finished, I had
Ten hair ribbons. 2 green, 2 blue, 2 red, 2 white, 1 yellow, 1 pink,
Twelve scrunchies. 2 green, 2 blue, 2 red, 2 black, 2 lilac, 2 purple,
Thirty hairbands. 4 green, 4 blue, 4 red, 4 pink, 4 white, 4 purple, 4 black, 2 yellow,
and Fifty different hair clasp,clips,pins of different sizes and colour.
I started brushing Hikari's hair. After about half an hour, I finally managed to get all
the knots out. All the time Hikari sat in my lap, quietly. "I never knew that little kids
could be so quiet." I thought. After I finished brushing out her hair, she got up and
went to the second drawer of the small cabinet. I looked over her shoulder. She
looked through a variety of bandanna's and pulled out a blue denim bandanna. I
gave my trademark smirk, and helped to tie the bandanna in her hair. When I was
done, she grabbed a hold of my leg, again. "Than ku Kai." She said. She didn't
pronounce her words very well. I sighed. I was definatly going to have my work cut
out for me.

Next Chapter - Ma Turns Vicious, Again.
"Kai, I get ascared when Ma's like this." Hikari said to me. "Is that wrong. Ma says
that I'm asupposed to love her, but I'm ascared of her. Is that a very bad thing,
Kai?" Hikari asked. I hugged my half-starved, little sister, closer to me, as we
heard Ma smashing more plates and furniture. "No it isn't wrong squirt." I said to
her. Ma busted into the room then. She was holding a belt. "Oh god, not again!" I
thought as she came towards us......
