Hey guys! This chapter will mainly be focusing on what happens to Akari at home! Yay! Not really, she gets abused at home so this will probably be a sad chapter. I will definitely be having interactions in this chapter!

Chapter 1

The first thing I smelt when I walked in the door was alcohol. The first thing I saw was my lazy brother on the couch-drunk. My first thought: 'Oh no.'

"Heeey, sweeeetheart. How ya been doin'?" My brother slurred, slumping his head back. Then he hiccupped. 'Dear lord, help me,' I thought.

"Hey bro. Um, if you don't mind me asking, what're you doing here?" I asked tensely. I reached over trying to find the hook where I could hang my jacket.

"Awww don't act all formal 'round me sis. Just dropin' by to see my hun!" Again he hiccupped. I grit my teeth and ignored the last part. I knew what it would mean for me.

"I was just hoping you would call me to say you were coming by," I replied walking over to the kitchen area. I started to clean the dishes when I felt a light pressure on my waist.

"Ya sayin' ya don't want me 'round sis? How cruel!" He tightened his grip and then continued. "And here I was hopin' to stay and spend da night wit ya." I felt myself pale considerably.

"You wanted to spend the night? I could drive you to your house you know. It's just a couple blocks from here," I replied, slightly scared. I felt the wounds on my back start to burn with the thought of his touch. At least, the one's he had created.

"D'ya have a problem wit me stayin' sis? I was hopin' to have some fun tonight," he said huskily. I shivered from his breath against my neck and his hand skillfully rubbing my waist.

"No that's ok. If you want to stay you can stay!" I replied hurriedly, remembering the last time I had demanded him to go away. I cringed at the thought. Then I felt myself being picked up and I nearly made it without making a sound. I would have if he hadn't kissed my forehead, making me whimper as I was lead to the only bedroom in the apartment. He laid me down gently on the bed and then climbed in beside me. He put his arms around me and I started to shake in fright. Then he surprised me by rubbing his fingers up and down my back slowly. That's when I realized he was more somber than he was letting on and I didn't have anything to worry about tonight, except for maybe a few sloppy kisses.

"Relax Akari, I'm not goin' to hurt you. I've been watchin' how mom and dad have been treatin' the servants at the mansion more closely lately. It made me realize it was the way I had been treatin' you and I felt sick at the thought. I'm sorry, Akari. I'm sorry" He whispered the last couple words and I could hear the truth behind them.

"It's ok bro," I whispered. I slowly reached up and brushed his bangs away from his eyes, both just like mine. His eyes held more feeling than mine though. Then I reached up and kissed his cheek and we both fell asleep.

I woke up with a fright, stopping the scream from escaping my throat that was left over from the nightmare. Even if my brother had shown me a new side to him, I wasn't about to show weakness. I hadn't shown it since those days.

Flashback

I was playing with my new toys in my room I'd gotten from Grandma and Grandpa. I'd barely been able sneak them by Mother and Father. That's when the door burst open.

"Akari! You haven't done what we told you to do! Why?!" Momma half yelled, half asked.

"I-I don't know what y-your t-talking about Momma," I whimpered quietly, bowing my head in fear.

"You know plenty well what she's talking about! You haven't helped the maids do all the chores around the house! Now go do them!" Papa yelled at me. It was more scary than when Momma yelled. His voice was stronger, deeper, and louder. I just stared up at them. They had never asked anything related to that of me. I was at a loss for what to do except to say one word.

"No."

"No?"

"No." I whimpered with less conviction.

"She said no," Momma trailed off with an evil grin on her face, "Well then. I guess we'll just have to punish you accordingly."

Sooooo what did you guys think? I'm hoping to have the next chapter up later today or tomorrow. Depends on my mom :/ Have fun with the cliff hanger! I guess it wasn't too much of a sad chapter, more like weird. I couldn't do what I planned but I hope it surprised some of you. Also feel free to still vote on who you want her to end up with! It has to be someone in the host club though!
