An: Well, I decided to post this before I go out and about. So I hope you enjoy it, because well, it is one of my favorites. So yeah. Also, I am to lazy to find a good quote. Bad Linleigh, Bad.

'I hate her.' Suki thought as she sat down under a tree. Today her parents told her to walk home from school because they were going to be to busy to pick her up. 'I wish Kohana was never born. Everything is that freak's fault.' She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice a man sit down beside her.

"Hello Suki." said the man and Suki snapped her head towards him.

"Who are you?" she asked rudely causing him to laugh.

"I am Ryo Hart." He said and Suki looked at him suspiciously.

"What do you want?" She asked and he grinned.

"I noticed how sad you look, so I decided that I am going to make you happy. Would you like that?" He asked smoothly and Suki nodded her head.

"But in order for me to make you happy, I need you to do something for me." Suki was completely entranced by this man. For once in the last 5 years, someone was paying attention to her.

"What do you need me to do?" She asked eagerly.

"I need you to tell me your parents security code." He said and Suki shook her head.

"No way. My mom said I can't tell anyone the code." She said and Ryo laughed mockingly.

"Oh little one. How else will I get rid of Kohana?" He asked and then stood up.

"Oh well, I can see that you are happy enough. Who knows, maybe one day your parents will completely forget about you. All because of Kohana." He said and started to walk away.

"Wait!" Suki yelled.

"I'll help you."

-----

Suki shook the memory out of her head. Oh how naïve she had been. If only she could go back and change things, then her parents would still be alive.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Ryoichi asked impatiently.

"I want you to kidnap Kohana." She said simply and Ryoichi sighed in relief.

"That's all? I thought I was going to have to do something way worse. Like kill her or something." He said and started to laugh. Suki smiled sadistically and waited for him to shut up.

"Oh you will end up killing her. But first I want you to torture her for her tear gems. Kill her after we make around 13 billion." She said and Ryoichi went pale.

"What? I can't do that." He said and Suki laughed bitterly.

"You have already agreed." She said and laughed harder at his expression.

"Or would you like me to tell Tsugiri that you went back on our deal?" Ryoichi went paler, his mind racing with examples of how Tsugiri would kill him.

"Fine. I will do it." He whispered. They both knew that if Suki told Tsugiri he refused her after he already agreed, Tsugiri would have him killed. Suki smiled and patted him on the back.

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree eh?" She said and he glared at her Suki smirked and leaned closer to him.

"Your father would have been so proud." She whispered in his ear and walked away.

-----

"What makes your sister cry?" Ryo asked Suki as he walked her home.

"When my mom or dad get hurt or when they aren't around her." She said bitterly and Ryo nodded his head.

"She is a freak isn't she?" He said and Suki nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Yes she is!" She said and Ryo patted her on the head.

"I will see you in a week." He said and walked away, leaving Suki all alone in front of her house. It took her a while to finally realize that Kohana's birthday was in a week.

Suki smiled and laughed as she skipped to the front gate. Kohana was going to get a really special gift this year.

-----

Ryoichi closed his door and kicked his shoes off. He knew that Suki hated Kohana, but he never knew that it was that much. He hated his father but never enough to get someone to kill him.

He walked into his kitchen and grabbed a beer. What was he going to do? Could he really inflict the same pain his father inflicted on Kohana? Would he be able to live with himself when he saw the same hatred she had for his father directed at him? No, he could. Ryoichi refused to become like his father.

-----

Ryoichi watched as Kohana read the book he brought for her today. He just couldn't understand her. She liked her room. He was beginning to rethink his plan of rescuing her. If she didn't understand what freedom was, how was he suppose to free her?

He had to leave soon, with or without Kohana. This building and his father, were suffocating him. Sometimes it even felt like Kohana was suffocating him also.

Everyday he was overwhelmed with guilt. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to hurt anyone who made her skin black and blue. He couldn't though, especially seeing as his father was in charge. Ryoichi was tired of feeling powerless.

"Ryoichi, what does this word mean?" Kohana asked and Ryoichi went and sat down beside her.

"What word?" He asked and she pointed to the word she was having trouble with.

Abomination. It was ironic that that was the one word in years she didn't know.

"It means a person who is disgusting." He said and Kohana nodded her head in understanding.

"That is what your father called me yesterday." She said and Ryoichi nodded his head. How was he suppose to respond? 'Well, according to everyone abomination would be a good word to describe you.' ? Again, Ryoichi was swallowed by guilt just for thinking that.

"Ryoichi, can you take me outside tomorrow?" She asked hopefully.

"Sure." He replied. No, he would not be able to rescue her. He couldn't take her from this place, no matter how much they hurt her. It was the only place she knew and Ryoichi didn't have the strength to relocate her. Yes, just leaving her was probably the best plan. And if by some miracle she escapes, then she will end up forgiving him. Hopefully. Ryoichi pushed that thought out of his head and stood up.

"I should go now." He said and walked to the door.

He couldn't look back. If he did, he would have seen Kohana's eyes well up and a single tear gem fall down her face. If he looked back he would have seen the pain in her eyes, and realize that to her anywhere would have been better then that dark room. He would have realize that being in that room was slowly killing her and that she needed him.

But he didn't look back. He left the next day and didn't see her again for 5 years. And now, 5 years later he is about to be to make her cry for money. Just like his father, the man he vowed never to be like.

Talk about irony.
