Chapter 3

The Memories and a Tender Moment

I woke up in a bed. I blinked my eyes once and looked around. This was not Masumi's room. It was white, very white. There was nothing in this room except a bed and an end table.

"Ah…you're awake, traitor." I heard a voice laughing. I looked at the closing door. The grey haired, tall, slim, blue eyed man I once called father was walking toward me.

"Stay away from me!" I tried to move from the bed but I was strapped to the bed. But even knowing that there was no way I was going to be able to get out of this I still struggled.

"You said to me before that you could kill them. But instead you ran. Why, explain that to me, my darling daughter?"

"Because you're a sick bastard!!" He stopped right in front of me and slapped me. I was stunned; tears began to fall down my cheeks.

"You little…" He then punched me in the face as I struggled when he tried to get on top of me.

"STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE! GET OFF OF ME!!" I screamed and struggled more.

"Reka, Reka, its ok, you're just having a nightmare." I heard a male voice say. My eyes shot open and my usual reflex was to sit up. I hit something hard then fell back down onto the bed. Tears ran down my face, I looked around and saw Gawl, Ryou, Masami, and her mother. I then looked at the figure i bumped into, it was Koji, I sat up and cried into his chest, and after getting over the initial shock that I just threw my self at him, he wrapped his arms around me. To tell the truth, this was a very awkward moment for me. Never had I really cried this much in my life. I was raised to be a killer, I was a killer, and being a killer you can't have any emotions. My father always told me that never should I put my heart into anything, it was just useless.

But right now I could remember all the years of abuse. I remembered all the blood I shed because of him. I remembered all the pain. I remembered everything that I had hoped to have forgotten.

"Reka, it's ok, you're safe." I heard Koji's comforting voice say softly and gently. My sobs started to calm, soon I was only sniffling.

"What's wrong, Reka?" You scared everyone back there." I looked up at Masami, who crawled to the other side of the bed, next to Koji.

"As…::sniffle::…as a child I…I was abused. I …thought…I had forgotten about it...But I haven't, I can't.." I started to cry again. Masami threw her arms around me while I was still being held by Koji.

"Oh…it's ok now. Like Koji said you're safe here. I know if anyone tried to hurt you Gawl will beat them up. Right Gawl?" Masami said looking up at Gawl, I looked at him too. I know that I must have looked so frail because he looked shocked when he saw my face. I could see his face tighten in anger.

"Yeah, I'll take on anyone who tries to hurt you again." He said rolling up his sleeves and seemed like he was ready to kick someone's ass. I laughed a bit, he smiled.

"Thank you so much Gawl. Thank you everyone, I didn't mean to worry you all." I smiled; I never felt such kindness and warmth from anyone in my life. They all smiled back except Koji, who seemed deep in his thoughts.
