"What's wrong with you? Yesterday you were kicking ass, and today you are acting worse than your brother was" he told her sharply.
She winced at the tone of his voice. Izumi knew he was right.
"I'm sorry" she told him. "I really am"
"Hn...find me when your head is in it, not in space" he spat at her.
She watched him walk away and sighed to herself. 'What do I do? Who do I talk to about this?' she asked herself and set off in search of someone to talk to.
Kenji got up early to go out and looked for a job. He went into a restaurant and applied for a dishwashing position and got it. They put him to work right away. He got one meal free for every day he worked. The restaurant had him working Tuesday through Saturday with Sunday and Monday off and he worked early mornings.
'Okay job secured, now to tell Izumi' he told himself.
He was proud of himself for getting a job. He knew that she wouldn't be able to take care of him forever. Kenji also knew his sister needed a job, somewhere not in the public eye...but where?
Kenji shook the thoughts from his head and went back to work knowing by the time he got home tonight he would be exhausted.
Izumi took too the woods to stop and think. 'Hiei doesn't care about my past, so I don't think telling him about my parents is a good idea' she told herself.
She laid on her back and looked up at the sky. Izumi knew she didn't sleep well the night before and felt her eyes closing. As she slept in the woods she had another nightmare.
*Flashback*
After her father had finished raping her he fell soundly asleep. Izumi went and cleaned herself up without making to much noise. How she hated his 'punishments'. She rarely done wrong and no with no warning he would come in and rape her or beat her, or Kenji, or both depending upon his mood.
She knew she couldn't ask her mother because she was being abused physically by her father. She hated her mother for not removing all of themselves from the situtation at hand.
Every night when he came home mostly drunk he would rape her, Kenji never got to see because his father didn't think it would be right for him to see what happened to his sister. And every morning before he went to work he did it again.
*End Flashback*
She sat up screaming which caused Hiei to fall out of the tree near by.
He could see she was visibly shaken and started to cry.
"What's the matter with you girl?" he questioned
Izumi looked up at him and away. "Why do you care? I obviously mean nothing to you..." she countered.
"I know someone who you can talk to" he said picking her up before she had time to protest and took off towards Kurama's flower shop.
