Kiyumi's POV
We left the tall building we were in earlier and went into another building about the same height which was basically across the street. I looked up and looked around right before we got into the other building and I noticed that the one we were walking in to was basically the same as the other one; it was connected at the top
"Where are we going, for real?" I asked.
"I already answered that." She said as she opened the door inside. She motioned for us to go inside, so we did. She walked over to the elevator. "Come on." She said as the doors opened. We walked over to her and stepped inside. She pushed the very top button and put her hand back on a sleeping Kakeru's back.
We reached the top floor and the doors opened to a large and spacious room. She walked out of the elevator and into another room with Kakeru. Kyouya and I walked out from the lift and looked around. It was so nice. Everything was clean, and it was obvious she was rich. She had such nice furnature and not a thing was out of place.
She came back without Kakeru in her arms and faced us with her hands on her hips. "What are we doing here? I thought you said we were going home."
"This is your home now." She said meanly.
"No it's not. And you're not our mom, either!" He argued.
"You little idiot. You thought I wanted you so that I could be a loving mother?" She laughed. "Hell no! I took you from that worthless woman so that I could get back at her for stealing all I'd ever wanted!"
"Our mom is not worthless!" I yelled.
"How did she steal all you wanted? You're rich!" Kyouya argued.
"Yeah? Ya think? This isn't mine! This is all DOJI'S! But your mother! She took the man I loved, your dad, and she took the life I wanted. So. This is what she gets in return." She said.
"You're an evil person." He said quietly.
She marched up to him and slapped him. "You aren't a fair judge! You're merely a child! Grow up before you call me evil!"'

Kyouya's POV
We were sitting around the table in her house, she was reading and Kakeru was eating. "Ha!" We heard her laugh. "Prominant Tategami wife finally commits suicide after one long year of depression after losing her husband due to murder and her three children, Kyouya, Kiyumi, and Kakeru to an abductor on a night she was gone. Detectives say she was found after she had Over Dosed on antidepressants, with two shots to the head, a clear case of suicide." She laughed. "Stupid woman."
"WHAT?!" Kiyumi and I yelled. "She's dead too?"
"Duh! I just read it from the newspaper!" She said.
Kiyumi began to cry and laid her head on the table. I tried to comfort her, but then, "shut up. If you really want something to cry about, I'll give it to you. This is childs play."
I looked at her with hate and held Kiyumi's arm and helped her stand up with me. We walked into our own small room and I sat down with her on the bed and wiped her tears away. "It's okay. What's done is done. We can't bring our parents back. But we have to move on and keep getting stronger. For both of them now, okay?"
She nodded and calmed her crying. "I don't get it. How come she hits us and hardly feed us, but treats Kakeru like a prince?" She asked me.
I sighed and hugged her. "She only loves him. She never wanted us, remember?"
"Yeah. I remember."

Kiyumi's POV
We were downtown one beautiful spring day. Kyouya and I were responsible for watching Kakeru as our "mom" was in the store. We sat outside on a bench with Kakeru between us. Just then, we were distracted by the sound of a battle. We took Kakeru's hands in ours and walked to the place of the battle. "Stay right here, okay Kakeru?" Kyouya said.
Kakeru nodded and we let go of his hands and watched the battle going on about 27 feet from us. The battle had ended almost as quickly as it had started and soon, we were alone. We turned to look at a Kakeru that wasn't standing there. We turned our attention to the crowded street that had become full during the lunch hour. "Kakeru!" I yelled.
"Kakeru, where are you!?" Kyouya yelled.
"You. LOST. Him?!" We turned around to see her. Oh, was she pissed. "You lost him! You worthless idiots! I give you one simple task!" She walked towards us but for each step she took forward was one step we took back. We were then under the cover of the trees in the in-city forest. The people on the street couldn't see us, and we couldn't see them.
She marched toward us and we tried to run, but had no where to go thanks to the wide canal that ran through this forest. She pulled the switchblade from her pocket and came charging at us, seeing her chance since we'd nowhere left to go.
