Chapter 3: Labor, taking the blame

"Yusei!"

No answer.

"YUSEI!"

"I'm coming uncle!" Cried a young male voice, as he ran over to his uncle who was currently sitting on a black leather couch with his sock covered feet on the foot rest with the television on.

He was shaking his empty beer bottle in the air. A fowl impatient face expression on his face.

Yusei ran over and made it to his uncle's side, panting a little due to the little run he had to make from the kitchen.

"I was waiting for a hour already where is my beer!" Sadisuto yelled at the 13 year teen.

"I was getting it for you… and it was only a min-

SLAP!

The force of the slap was hard, most likely to leave a stinging bruise. Yusei fell backwards landing on his rear. Somehow the beer had not shattered or spilled on the floor. The raven haired child held his already red cheek, and bit his lip so that wouldn't let tears fall out of his dead blue eyes.

"Don't you back talk me! You worthless piece of trash!" He yelled at the blue eyed petit.

"You should be more like your sister, at least she knows how to respect!"

Yusei stayed silent, he knew better than to anger his 'uncle.'

Ever since car accident that had involved his parents, he and his sister were out on the streets for about 2 days and nights before they were found by someone.

They were told- due to the fact their uncle was only one who was blood related to their father, so all confinements including them were dwelled to him.

In addition, he was also confined to the money, at least until Yusei is at the age of 21 then all rights of the money could be send to him and Jay. However, he also had to be school educated in order to earn the money. He figured that was the reason why Sadisuto never let him go to school. If he never was educated then he can't own the money, which left one other option.

Jay.

Weather she was educated or not she can own the money. Unfortunately, she had to be given the rights from the one who is in position of it. And that was none other than their supposed-to-be-loving 'Uncle.'

Yusei can bet his life that Sadisuto would never give in the money to her. He slightly frowned as he placed the beer next to his uncle and slowly walked out the room he was in, still holding his sore cheek.

"And make sure you she me my rightful respect!" He yelled back the leaving boy's back.

Yusei felt a tear roll down his cheek. He never wanted this life, and he never asked for it. He walked to the kitchen where he found a rather tired blacked and gold haired girl, wiping the floors with a what seemed to be a previous white rag and a stainless steel bucket next to her.

Although they did have cleaning utensils and other maids and servants. (slaves seemed to be a better word for Sadisuto) Jay had to do most of the work, the old fashion way, which in her opinion was painful. Since Yusei was younger than her, he was allowed to do a little less work.

But the only reason Sadisuto agreed to this was because Jay had put herself on the line and forced herself to more work than Yusei.

He could swear that his sister will work herself to death if she continued this.

Shrugging it off, he carefully walked over trying not to step on the hard effort his sister was putting in.

Jay heard footsteps as she looked up at her look-a-like and weakly smiled at him. She moved her brown eyes to the right side of his cheek before the smile turned into a strait line.

"What happened to your cheek?" She softly asked

Yusei just looked at her before she understood what happened.

"I don't know what I do wrong I do everything I he tells me to and I still end up getting hit or screamed at."

He looked at the female below him. "What can I do…?"

She stood up walking over to him, carefully placing her blistered red hand on his shoulder. "He's just like that, don't let him get to you."

At that very moment a bottle shattering and a powerful scream cracked the silenced piece.

"YUSEI!"

The very scream made the 13 year old boy jump behind his sister, as a very angry male towered over them.

"LOOK WHAT YOU DID!"

He dragged the little boy despite Jay's protest to the living room and showed him what he supposedly did.

There on the carpet was a stain, a stain of blood, on the other side the bottle he had barely brought was now, in broken shards of glass against the opposite walls, with some yellowish clear liquid slithering down to the hard wooden floor.

He looked confused before he was forcefully grabbed by his neck and was slammed into the wall close to him. He cried out in pain as he hit the wall.

"Look what you did to my carpet and drink!"

He grasped Yusei's slender neck tighter. Almost making it harder to breath for the younger boy.

"Leave Him Alone!"

The sudden yell brought the two out of what they where doing. Right there Jay was standing by the glass table next to them.

"Leave here you Stupid Girl! This boy needs to have a Lesson Taught." His cold black eyes grew with a sudden anger. But Jay didn't get phased by it.

"What do you think he did!" Jay spat back walking a little closer, a little relieved that he lowered Yusei a little down to allow him to breath.

"HE STAINED MY CARPET AND GAVE ME A WARM DRINK! When I specifically told him for a Cold ONE!"

His face was getting redder.

She looked around and saw the blood on the carpet, as well as the broken wet glass beside them.

Jay's blood boiled. This man attacked her brother just because of a little blood stain and warm Drink! This Man Was MAD!

It made her want to actually kill him. But she couldn't. She thought, for a sec before coming up with something.

"It's not his fault it's mine!"

He looked at the girl.

"The stain must of came from when I'm on my girl days and the drink I handed it to him, I didn't think you liked it cold." She answered calmly. She knew her uncle was so believable, and stupid. It was going to hurt but she'd do it for Yusei.

Instantly he removed his hands from Yusei and grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the floor. Not caring if she landed on the glass or not, before slapping her in the face. It was hard, Jay had to suppress the scream that stuck in her throat, even if blood ran out of her nose.

"You stupid girl! I should kill you for what you did! But I rather like to hit you for it."

He pulled her off the floor and dragged her from ground by the hair and pulled her into another room. Where her screams pounded at the silence. Maids and servants could only watch in fear as Jay was dragged off into a room with the door shut tight.

Yusei huddled himself in a corner. The pain filled screams echoed across the room. Yusei held his head over his ears desperately trying to remove the screams. But it was useless.

It was entirely his fault his sister had to go through this, and all to cover a lie that it was actually his fault.

This wasn't the first time Jay defended Yusei. To Sadisuto it was constant chore for him to do. Unlike some other types of chores, he actually enjoyed it. Which make anyone wonder if he's actually Sadist. Since he loves to see others' pains.

Never less Yusei still didn't like this not one bit.

The stain was actually his when accidentally cut himself with a broken glass, and the drink. Jay didn't get it for him.

He got it.

He should have known Sadisuto liked his drinks cold. And because he didn't check his sister was paying the price.

It was completely his fault.

When the screams finally stopped. The traumatized 13 year old boy came to his senses, he heard heavy footsteps coming closer; wasting no time, he ran over to the glass and picked each up, placing all the shards and throwing them in the trash, as well bringing a second beer bottle, this time cold as ice, beside the sofa, and grabbing a dry rag and cleaning up the alcohol liquid.

Much to Sadisuto's satisfaction.

After that Yusei made sure he stood clear of his uncle.

The day finally came to an end.

Exhausted, he walked over to his and sister's shared room. Which was in the attic, thanks to the other maids, they both got a warm blanket and a thin one for the cold and hot days. It certainly was not comfortable living there it either got too hot or too cold. But it was better than nothing.

When he got to the door her heard a little bit of heavy breathing. Opening the door her saw two people in the room.

One who he knew as Chinxo, and the other was-

"JAY!"

He ran over to his injured sister. She looked terrible.

She had a black eye, multiple forming bruises on her face, arms and legs. A nasty deep gash from the bridge of her nose to the end of under her eye.

(Her nose also appeared broken, in fact it looked like someone punched her over and over on her nose and face)

In addition, she had a painstaking cut above her ear. Looked like if someone slammed glass at the spot. On her arms where tinny red dots, where it started to drip a red substance (blood) along with some small scratches included on her legs. Her neck was encircled with purplish blue bruises. Mainly finger prints where the cause of it. Her cloths where slightly shredded and blood stained.

Jay looked like if she fell through a window off a 2-story building.

Jay had her good eye weakly open, she smiled when her brother walked over.

He was crying, he caused this, it wasn't her who did this, it was his. He may as well as done this to her.

"Y-yus…ei… it'…s not y-our fault…." Jay must of read his mind when she spoke.

"Yes it is!" he screamed.

"You got hurt, and I did this to you…!" He yelled tearfully. He was so angry at Sadisuto, for beating her, he was angry at his sister for allowing herself for her cold hearted man do that to her.

But…

most of all he was angry at himself, for not saying it was lie, that he was the one that had done those two things.

It should be 'HIM' on the bed not her. He let the crystal tears flow out of his blue eyes, as well as, landing on his knees and griping the bed sheet where the 18 year old was lying on.

Jay used her good copper eye and looked at her depressed brother. Surely he was angry at himself and Sadisuto for what happened. She exhaled carefully.

Apparently all that screaming torn her throat.

"Y-Yusei…" The little 13 year glanced at his injured sister.

"I did thi…s to prote-ct you… I-f you want… to be angry… then be at me… I was the one… to have chosen… th-is." Every word she spoke out hurt. She could barely make out a whisper.

"B-but if I… had been… s-s-stronger then you-would have-g-gotten hurt."

"Yusei. I d-one this to prote-ct you… there is-nothing… I-I woul..dn't do for you…"

She was looking grim, and tired, which was increasing more by the second. "I… I made a p-romise to.. Mom… to l-ook a…fter you and tak-e care… of you."

Yusei blinked the tears away. He could understand that Jay would look after him even if their Mother didn't tell to her to do so. It still wasn't fair that she take the heat for him. But one thing is for sure if once Jay makes the decision, it will stay like that; there's no way of changing her mind.

Yusei thought the words carefully, he felt like he was going to regret it though.

"Ok… but please."

He gently grabbed her caramel colored bruised hand.

"Don't take all the b-blame… I don't want to see my sister get hurt. I love you too much to see you suffer… I know you want to protect me… but please do you think I want to see you get hurt yourself. Do you know how much it hurts me." He paused as Jay fully listen to his words.

Chinxo next to them actually was surprised how close these two were. They'd go to extreme lengths to help and protect each other.

"J-Jay please… I don't want you to leave me… much less get hurt…" His voice was pained almost broken. Jay glanced at her brother. She nodded her head.

"a-lright… but th..at doesn…'t mean I-I w-on't s-t-top protecting…you." Yusei wanted to protest but there was no chance in changing his sister mind. Hesitantly, he nodded his head. Jay gave her younger brother a weak smile.

Although it wasn't much, it gave the blue eyed boy a little happiness. His sister is the only thing in his miserable life that actually make him survive this hell place. If it weren't for her and a few nice maids and servants he would have already just ended it.

Fragilely he sat next to the injured already woman in bed, caressing her head a bit. Her wounds where already taken care of, Chinxo smiled and got up to leave.

Yusei watched the silver haired woman got up. To be honest he liked her, to him she was like a mother to him. Always taking care of them and bringing some leftovers from the meals that Sadisuto always forgets to feed them. Unlike their 'uncle' Chinxo actually cared for them. Even if they were blood related to her.

She turned her soft golden eyes tracing the two. "Yusei, Jay if you ever need anything, give me a call I won't be far away." The two nodded at the older woman who walked out the room and closed the white falling apart door.

Yusei huddled close to his sister just like he always did when he was younger. He looked back on his life, he doesn't remember much about it besides abuse, and hard work.

He always wondered what his life was like before. He knew this was his parent's mansion, and the money had been rightfully their's but ever since the car accident about 10 years ago, the money property had been handed down to the only other person related to his father, besides Jay and himself.

And in the opinions it was mistakenly chosen to who. But they have to live with it. Yusei looked up at the window the single star up in the midnight blue sky.

Maybe a miracle can happen, and if everything does go by it then maybe just maybe everything will go out right.

There you go. Anyways Chinxo will have a role in this story. You'll find out more about her later. I was wanting to get this chapter fast and done, I'm a little bit of a sadist, but "very" little. To be honest I think this chapter wasn't really good. But I tried, I'm no author and both Writing and Grammar aren't my best subjects, plus I really not talented. I'm just an average teen. Now with that settled please review.

Remember no Reviews no new chapter.
