Not again

This is a foster system/adoption fan fiction. In this fan fiction I've made Leorio and Kurapika older than they are in the anime or manga. Killua, Gon and Gon's older sister Ayla are in the foster system trying to survive when they are sent to another home. Leorio a doctor that often helps take care of orphans or foster children, while his life partner Kurapika is a detective trying to hunt down the people that killed his family. Don't worry there are also mentions of Alluka. There are some mentions of rape.

Chapter 1

I held on tighter to my little brothers as another plate shattered. We were scared but if that man came in here trying to hurt the three of us, I was ready to give my life to protect Gon and Killua. They were both twelve and had a long life in front of them; while I was fourteen and truly was tired of living this life. I'd been to six different homes along with two fires. The first fire killed our mother, I hadn't seen our father since I was three years old when he up and left. Luckily me and Gon had been with our Aunt Mito when our mother killed herself; the second fire was eight years ago when I was six years old. I saved Gon at the cost of 20% of my body; I had third-degree burns scar on my upper right arm down my back to my left hip, from a burning beam falling as I pushed Gon out of the way later; I found out that it was Gon that actually saved me by pulling me out from under the beam while he suffered from minor first-degree burns on his hands and lower arms. I was brought out of my memories by our foster father getting ever closer to the small storage closet we called our room.

"Gon and Killua hide and when he isn't looking, I want you to get out of here and call for help." I said pushing them towards our hiding spot, a pile of boxes that created a cave-like tunnel. Killua was currently in shutdown mode so there wouldn't be any comments from him for a while. I met Killua four years ago when I had been put in a different home away from Gon. Killua had reminded me so much of my own little brother that I just wanted to protect him as much as Gon. Sure, when he was in shutdown mode it was worrisome because I never knew when he might wake up or if he might freak out again, but the only good thing about Shutdown mode was that he always followed orders.

"Lia, what about you?" Gon asked, looking at me over his shoulder as he moved towards the opening. Killua was right in front of him.

"Gon, I promised Aunt Mito that no matter what I would protect you, so please just this once do as you are told and get the hell out of here." I said almost throwing them into our hiding spot, I just had enough time to drop the thin blanket over the opening when our foster father slammed open the door to our small room and started to drag me out by my hair. As he was doing so, I saw Gon and Killua escape out of the apartment with Aunt Mito's old cell phone in one of his hands, while he was pulling Killua with the other one. Our eyes met for a split second before they were gone. Our foster father threw me into a wall and started beating the living crap out of me. That was before several police officers came into the apartment, guns out in the open.

"Hands where we can see them." An officer said, pulling our foster father off of me as he was getting ready to rape me. He had already ripped off my thin shorts and underwear, as two officers were putting handcuffs on our foster father. A detective quickly placed a thick blanket over my legs and lower half before placing another blanket around my shoulders and scooping me up in his arms.

"Shh, it's okay, you'll be fine. Can you tell me your name?" The detective said as he carried me towards an ambulance. I had to hyper focus on the man carrying me, so that I didn't freak out at the amount of flashing lights around me. With the several police cars, were ambulances and fire trucks.

"Ayla Freecss, where are my little brothers Gon and Killua?" I asked, grabbing onto the blankets around me. The man carrying me was this thin man with blond hair and brown eyes, wearing a navy blue suit and a red tie. And although he did not look it he was very strong.

"Lia." Gon and Killua said jumping me as the Detective set me on the bumper of the truck. I quickly wrapped the blanket around me, around my little brothers before I started to cry on their heads. They were alright, my fear that our foster father might have hurt them was put to rest as I got to hold them in my arms. We were safe, no one would try to hurt us again.

"You're alright Gon, Killua. No, we are alright; he will never be able to touch us again." I said crying heavily, while holding on tight to them. That night the police were asking the three of us so many questions that I actually melted down and started telling them everything that horrible man had made me do under the threat of him hurting Gon and Killua. By morning the social worker that had been charge of the three of us for the last two years, was there to separate the three of us if not for me telling the Detective her role in all this mess. The minute she walks into the station several officers were there arresting her. I hid Gon and Killua behind me to the best of my ability as a 152.70 cm, and 22.68 Kg 14-year-old could. Child services sent a different social worker, and right away she took me, Gon and Killua to the hospital to be checked over and turns out I shouldn't be 22.68 kg.

"Okay, Killua, Gon and Ayla, I found a family that is willing to take all three of you in, but this is up to you. I've read all of Gon's file, but both Ayla's and Killua's files would take me close to a week each to read, but I did look over the reasons why you were removed from each of the houses you have been in." the social worker, Ms. Melody, said. Ms. Melody was not the most beautiful person I had ever meet but she was nice and clearly wanted to protect us from any harm. The way that Killua described her was that she was mousy and ugly, Gon on the other hand said that Ms. Melody was beautiful in her own way.

"If we say no to this house, will we not be able to stay together?" Killua asked from beside me. I had my arms wrapped around them tightly even though it hurt with the multiply tubes that the doctors had coming out of my arms, as we sat on the hospital bed. The boys were wearing their regular clothes while I was in the hospital clothes that had been provided for me.

"That is correct Killua, and I can tell from the way that Ayla is holding onto you two that it is not an option. Am I correct Ayla?" Ms. Melody said sitting down in a chair while we were gathered on my hospital bed. Gon and Killua who I made sure ate at least three meals a day, were perfectly fine.

"Is there any way for us to meet the family before we decide whether we want to live with this family or not?" Gon asked before I could stop him. The one thing I've learned since entering the foster system at the age of six, is never ask to meet the family because that just gives them a chance to change their minds or worse to say they don't want one of us. It had happened before when I was ten, we had just been taken from a family for never feeding me. I was super sickly so the family wanted to meet and after that they just took in Gon and I went to a different family where I met Killua.

"They would actually like to meet you three right now." Ms. Melody said, standing up and heading towards the door to let in two men. Both of them were taller than me, but then again, my growth rate was currently stunted. One was the detective that had been questioning us all night, and the other one was the doctor that had been looking over Gon and Killua. He was this extremely thin yet tall man with tan skin, spiky black hair and dark brown eyes, behind a pair of small round sunglasses. Under a lab coat was this white button up and green tie tucked into a pair of blue dress pants.

"Hello Ayla, Gon and Killua, my name is Dr. Leorio Paradinight and this is my life partner Detective Kurapika Kuta. How are you three feeling?" Mr. Paradinight said coming closer until I put myself in front of my brothers. At that point both men stopped and actually took a few steps back to where I relaxed. Or that was before I had to throw myself over the side of the bed to throw up what little I had in my stomach. Mr. Paradinight rushed to my side and was rubbing my back trying to calm me down. But this caused my stress levels to rise even higher which was leading me to throw up even more.

"Stop it, you're making the situation worse." Gon said knew what was going on with me since this happened when I got extremely stressed out, which was old because the man was outside of my comfort zone. Gon grabbed onto my shoulders trying to calm me down while Killua quickly moved to get the men to leave the room.

"I'm a doctor; I can help your sister." Mr. Paradinight said as both him and his life partner were push almost out of the room. Killua only stopped when he was sure that the two were far outside of my comfort zone before taking a few steps away from them as he was like me, wary of the people around us after he had been abused not only by his real family but with several different foster homes. Killua wouldn't let the two men back into the room even though one of them was a doctor and he might have been able to help me.

"If you stay in here any longer you are going to make it worse. This is a stress reflex and you being here is making it worse." Killua said before hearing my whine. Both of my brothers knew that if I whined than this wasn't stress, something was literally wrong and I was scared. Quickly Killua let the doctor back in but kept the other man by the doorway, Gon quickly joined him before Mr. Paradinight gave me something to make me sleep for the night. Turns out that my foster father had paid one of his old police buddies to give me something that would make it seem that I was unstable and needed to be put into a mental hospital and that my brothers should be given back to our foster father. Downside being that I am pretty much unable to keep anything down right now.
