"So, whats your family like ?" asked serenity. "Their very random, average, but not very average" said Koga. "They sound great to me" said serenity. When Serenity and Koga arrived at Koga's house, serenity saw it was a normal looking house. "Almost like my house" said serenity. "All the houses in this town are built almost the same" said Koga. Koga unlocked the door and was immediately greeted by a very large cat. "Aww, how cute. Whats its name ?" asked serenity. "Her name is Miya-jun" said Koga. "whats she doin' here ?!" shouted a familiar person. Serenity looked up at the stairs and saw Koga's younger sister, Kaous. "Kaous, you remember serenity don't you ?" asked Koga. "Yeah, shes the one who hit that baseball into the sky and knocked down a plane !" said Kaous with a smile. Serenity giggled a bit and scratched the back of her head.
"Kaous, serenity will be staying with us for awhile" said Koga. "Why ?" asked Kaous. Koga walked over to Kaous and whispered something to her. Kaous flinched and looked over at serenity with teary eyes. "It can't be, shes doesn't look like a person who gets hit" said Kaous. Serenity lowered her head in sadness. "Kaous, serenity probably doesn't have the strength to tell anyone, I found out for myself..." whispered Koga to Kaous. "Why does her dad hit her ?" asked Kaous. "He's a very sick person to ever hurt his own daughter" said Koga. Kaous looked at serenity and walked over to her. Serenity looked down at her and smiled.
Kaous couldn't believe how nice serenity was, even though she was abused. Serenity kneeled down to Kaous' level and hugged her tightly. "Im alright, don't you worry about me little one" said serenity. Kaous nodded, then felt herself get lifted off the floor. Koga was holding her up by her shirt collar. "Let me go !" shouted Kaous. "If you don't mind, serenity and I want to be alone !" shouted Koga. "So you guys can smooch !!! I know that's what your gonna do !!!" shouted Kaous. Serenity started laughing, a real laugh. "No, were just gonna sit here and tell each other how much we love each other !" said serenity as she pulled Koga's ear gently. "Were gonna what ?!" exclaimed Koga. Serenity nudged Koga in his side and winked.
"Ohh, right !! Yeah, were gonna do just that" said Koga. "Then can I watch ?" asked Kaous. "NO !" shouted Koga. "Awww !!" said Kaous. Serenity smiled and removed her backpack from her back. It landed with a loud thud on the floor and made a small tremor. "What do you have in that thing ?!!" shouted Koga. "My things of course" said serenity. "I think you may have over packed" said Kaous. Just as serenity was about to speak, she felt her head start hurting. "Are you alright ?" asked Koga. "Im fine..." said serenity wearily. "You don't look fine" said Kaous. "My head is starting to bug me" said serenity. "Don't tell me your father gave you a concussion too !!" shouted Kaous. Koga glared at Kaous. "Im just guessing !" said Kaous. "Im telling you, im alright" said serenity. "We better take you to the doctor" said Koga. "For a headache ?!" shouted serenity. "Don't worry, we know how to get in there in 10 seconds flat !" said Kaous.
(At the hospital)
"Out of the way !! We have a dying person here !!!" shouted Koga as he came in with Kaous in his arms. "Someone help our poor daughter !!" shouted serenity as she pretended to cry. "Take a number and wait !" shouted a nurse. Koga and serenity anime fell. "What are you talking about ?!! Our daughter is dying !!" shouted Koga. "Sit down Koga" said the nurse. "I told you it wouldn't work" said Kaous. "How does she know you ?" asked serenity. "Our father is a doctor here, we always got in before everyone else with this trick, but know they've caught on..." said Koga. "So Koga, new girlfriend ?" asked the nurse. "New girlfriend ?" asked serenity as she glared at Koga. "Yeah, Koga has a new girlfriend every 2 weeks" said Kaous. "Is that so ?!" shouted serenity. Koga sweat-dropped. "As long as its been over 2 weeks, it means he really likes you" said the nurse. "You hear ? I've been with you for 3 weeks, see ?! See ?!!" said Koga. "Hmph !" said serenity. "Koga, Kaous, whats the meaning of you guys being here ?" asked a doctor. "f-father, how nice to see you" said Koga. "Daddy !!" shouted Kaous. "Father ?" asked serenity. "I don't think I've met you. I'm Kazuo, (pronounced Ki-soo) Koga and Kaous' father" said the doctor. "Now I can see where Koga gets his good looks from" said serenity. "Thanks ! You are very sweet" said Kazuo. "Is it just me, or does everyone in their family have a name that beings with the letter K..." thought serenity. "Umm, father, serenity came here because..." said Koga. "Because what ?" asked Kazuo. "She has a very bad headache !! Fix her up daddy !" shouted Kaous. "Is that so ? Well, I guess I can see whats the matter with her" said Kazuo.
In another part of the hospital, Koga and Kaous watched as their father examined serenity, who was sitting on a operating table still clothed. "Your whole body seems to be stiff" said Kazuo. "It doesn't feel stiff" said serenity. Kazuo held serenity's arm and bent it a certain way.
(CRACK !!!)
"OWWWW !!!!!" shouted serenity. "Sorry !! Did it hurt that much ?!" asked Kazuo. "Uh-huh !!" cried serenity as she nodded rapidly. "Well, I'll just take an x-ray of you and see if you have anymore bones out of place" said Kazuo. "Uh oh..." thought Koga. "Is this necessary ?" asked serenity. "Im a doctor, its my job to keep you from possibly dying" said Kazuo. Serenity nodded slowly. "Is serenity's secret gonna be out ?" asked Kaous. "Yeah...pretty much" said Koga.
After serenity had her x-ray taken, Kazuo looked at it with shock. "Something the matter ?" asked serenity. "Well, ummm..." said Kazuo. "Yes ?" asked serenity. Koga and Kaous looked at the x-rays too and cringed. "You have 7 fractured bones in your rib cage, 2 slightly damaged bones in your spinal cord, and your wrist is fractured a bit, but that's my fault I think" said Kazuo. Serenity didn't seem surprised. "Serenity, do you know how this has happened ?" asked Kazuo. "No Sir" said serenity. "She must be one hell of a football player then" said Koga as he chuckled nervously. "Koga, Kaous, come with me please" said Kazuo as he left the room. "Good luck you guys" said serenity as she lay on the operating table with her arms folded behind her head.
Koga and Kaous left the room and confronted their father. "I have a feeling you know more about Serenity" said Kazuo. "n-not at all father" said Koga. "Serenity's father hits her" said Kaous. Both Koga and Kazuo gasped. Kaous then covered her mouth. "Did I say that out loud ?!!" thought Kaous. "Hits her how ?" asked Kazuo. Koga stayed silent. "Tell me or your grounded !" said Kazuo. Koga still didn't say anything. Kazuo looked at Kaous and took her hands from her mouth. "Her father beats her up a lot !!" shouted Kaous, then she covered her mouth again.
"Anyone ever tell you that you have the biggest mouth ?!!!" shouted Koga as he shook Kaous by her shirt collar. "Stop it" said Kazuo calmly. Koga let Kaous go and sighed. "Serenity cant go back home..." said Koga. "I know that, but what are we gonna do ?" asked Kazuo. "I've always wanted a big sister" said Kaous. "Yeah, can she live with us until we figure out what to do ?" asked Koga. "Hmm...that's not a bad idea" said Kazuo. "Im gonna have the love of my life in my house, score !!" thought Koga. Kazuo went back into the room.
"Serenity, Koga and Kaous told me about what you go through" said Kazuo. Serenity's eyes widened. "Umm...well..." said serenity. Kazuo approached serenity slowly. Serenity tensed up and looked away, she thought he was going to hit her. She then felt Kazuo's hand on her head, he was stroking her hair. "Im so sorry you went through that, you are welcome to stay at our house as long as you want" said Kazuo. "r-really ?" asked serenity. Kazuo nodded and petted serenity's head. "Thank you sir, thank you so much !" said serenity as stood up and bowed her head.
(At Koga's house)
"This will be your room" said Koga as he showed serenity a room upstairs. "Isn't that your room ?" asked serenity. "I'll be sleeping on the floor, you can have the bed" said Koga. "Ok" said serenity. "Koga, serenity, family meeting downstairs" said Kaous. "You mean, im a part of this family ?" asked serenity. "Yep" said Koga. "Hey, did you guys hear me ?!" shouted Kaous. Koga and serenity went downstairs and Kazuo was waiting for them. "Ok serenity, now that you are to live with us, we will go over our rules" said Kazuo. "Oh no..." said Koga as he turned to go back up the stairs. "Koga, sit" said Kazuo. Koga sighed and sat down on the couch with serenity and Kaous. "Any one care to tell serenity rule one ?" asked Kazuo. "Don't turn on the blender and put you hand in!" said Kaous. Everyone sweat-dropped. "Uhh, no" said Kazuo. "Don't put twinkes on your pizza" said Koga. Serenity giggled at Koga's answer. "No ! The first rule is to treat every member of this family with respect" said Kazuo. "Ohhh !!!" said both Koga and Kaous at once. Serenity nodded. "Rule two, no loud music after 9 at night" said Kazuo. Serenity nodded again.
(An hour later)
"Rule 352, no making prank phone calls to Alaska" said Kazuo. "Ok !! Ok !! I think she gets the point !" said Koga. Serenity had run out of room on her notebook writing all those rules. "Sorry, I got carried away" said Kazuo. "Its ok" said serenity. "Just remember the number one rule" said Kazuo. "Don't put your hand in the blender ?" asked serenity. "No, just respect every member of this family" said Kazuo. "Oh I will sir !" said serenity. "And Koga, don't let me catch you in that bed with Serenity, understand ?" said Kazuo. Koga didn't want to make his father upset, even thought that was hard to do, so he nodded. "Why don't you want them in the bed together ?" asked Kaous. "That's an excellent question, I'll tell you what he means" said Koga with a smile. "No !! Let her learn in school when shes older" said Kazuo. "Serenity, are you hungry ?" asked Kaous. "How'd you know ?" asked serenity. "I can hear your stomach" said Kaous. "Koga, Kaous, you give serenity a tour of our home, I'll order us some pizza" said Kazuo. "Alright !" said Koga. "Thanks again for letting me stay here" said serenity.
(Later that night)
Serenity laid in bed and looked up at the ceiling. "Serenity, go to sleep" said Kazuo from outside the room. "How'd he know I was awake ?" asked serenity. "All parents know when your asleep or not" said Koga. "Ohh" said serenity. "Its cold on this floor, may I come in the bed with you ?" asked Koga. Serenity glared at Koga. "Never mind" said Koga as he zipped up the sleeping bag he was sleeping in. serenity giggled. "Serenity, are you sure I cant-" Koga was cut off. "I don't want your father to get mad" said serenity. "Ohh, well, goodnight" said Koga. Serenity didn't answer, she was already sleeping. "Im so glad shes away from that maniac of a father" thought Koga as he went to sleep.
