Chapter 2

"Onichan!" Pirika shouted at her brother when they were in the house. She slapped on her forehead and continued, "How many times had I told you. NEVER EVER DRINK!"

"Oi Pirika, you don't have to be so mad." Horohoro said. "My friend works in the police station, they won't dare to catch me." He said with a smile.

Pirika was furious, "You can't always depends on your friend Onichan!" She paused to catch some breaths then continued, "Can't you do anything rather then eat?"

"Well…I can play snowboard." Horohoro said.

Pirika threw her shoe at Horohoro, "Find a proper work, Onichan. I'm the one who is supporting this family now. I had to study and work, but what did you do?"

"Umm…play snowboard? Geez Pirika, I can earn money by competing in the Snowboard competition. Maybe I will become a legend someday, just you see Pirika." Horohoro said.

Pirika did not say anything. She walked into her room and slammed her door shut. She picked up her pillow and threw it towards her cupboard. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Onichan…" She said softly hugging herself. "Why can't you just get a life? You can't always live in a dream."

Suddenly, Pirika heard a knock on her door. "Hey Pirika, it's me." Horohoro said. There were no reply, Horohoro sighed, "Pirika, dinner's ready. I left it in front of your bedroom." Saying this, Horohoro placed the tray on the floor and walked into his room. "Oyasumi-nasai, Pirika." He whispered softly as he turned off the lights.

Pirika's opened her bedroom door and looked down to see a tray filled with food. She smiled to herself as she picked up the tray. She found a message inside the tray. It read…

Pirika,

Gomen-nasai, I know I should find a job but you know it's hard for me to because the economic is unstable here. I promise I will get a job.

Your Onichan.

Pirika smiled to herself when she read the message. She then ate the bowl of rice and lay in bed thinking about the things that happened today. "What will happen to me tomorrow?" She sighed, "Will I get a red tag?" Another her said, "So what? What IF you got a red tag, you just get bully but YOU can NEVER surrender to those bunches of idiots." Pirika became more energetic, "Ganbate-ne, Pirika! You will never lose!"

"Are you sure this is a good plan?" Tao Ren asked when he was sitting on a sofa in one of the Tao Mansion's living room..

The Tao Mansion was gigantic. It had 33 bathrooms each with a huge bathtub, a shower, Jacuzzi Etc. It also had 33 bedrooms with a king size bed in each room, a Hi-5 TV set, a Pentium IV computer plus a laptop, a mini-bar etc. There were also 33 living rooms with a Home theater set, a pinball set, a couch which was as long as two Mercedes Benz placed together etc. There were also 33 kitchens which produce different types of food in each one for example, Italian food, Japanese food, Korean Food, Indian food, Chinese food, and Tao Ren's most favourite drinks---Milk were also specially produced from cows the Tao family brought back from New Zealand.

"Trust me." Hao said from upstairs. He looked down at Ren and smirked. "I'll make sure it's fun. You won't get disappointed, Ren."

"It better be." Ren said as he dried his hair which was wet from the shower. He turned to find Yoh sitting at the end of the couch probably listening to his music. Ren also saw Lyserg playing with his crystal pendulum by swinging it.

Pirika opened her eyes to see sunlight entering her room. She then got off her bed and stretched her body. "Here goes nothing." Pirika said to herself while she was looking at herself at the mirror. "Ganbate Pirika!" She motivated herself. She then walked out of her room to the bathroom to find that it was occupied. "Onichan!!!" Pirika shouted as she knocked hard on the bathroom door.

"Chotto!" Horohoro shouted back as he finished his 'business'. Then he walked out of the bathroom and greeted his sister. "Ohayo."

Pirika did not reply. She covered her nose and walked into the bathroom. "Onichan! You haven't flush!"

"Gomen." Horohoro said apologetically as he went to flush. Then he walked out of the bathroom.

Pirika shook her head as she closed the door. She took a cold bath because the heater had spoiled and they had no money to repair it. Shivering, Pirika wrapped herself up with a towel and walked into her room. She wore her favourite clothes and headband. Then, she picked up her schoolbag and ran out of the house.

"Sayonara!" She shouted as she got onto her bike.

"Take care." Horohoro said as he handed her sister her lunch. "We are out of rice so…"

"It's ok." Pirika said with a smile as she started her motorbike and rode away. "Onichan! Don't ever waste money again. K?" She shouted.

"OK Pirika, don't be afraid." Pirika repeated many times to herself on her way to school. Suddenly, CRASH! Pirika fell off her bike. "My bike!" She gasped as her motorbike was crushed by a gigantic truck.

The truck then went away, Pirika walked up to her already flat bike to find that there was a…red tag saying, 'You'll be dead. I will kill you.' Pirika covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh my god, a red tag."

From that day onwards, Pirika knew that her life will be miserable but she was a tough girl and won't give up or will she?
