A child left out (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu fanfic)

Chapter 3- Past time Part 2

Suddenly, they heard a key enter the entrance door. The door opened with a loud creek revealing two familiar shadows.

"We're back..." the taller man said as he entered the house, holding a suitcase in his right hand. The younger and far shorter shadow ran towards the piano without any pleasantries.

"Kaguyaaaaa!" the boy screamed jumping on to his sister, making her tumble off the piano seat.

"Gakushuu, don't do that to your sister..." the mother said sternly. "You'll hurt her."

Gakushuu and Kaguya giggled among themselves, getting up and sitting on the mat. "Kaguya can't get hurt! She's strong!" the male twin stated.

Both of their parents exchanged glances and chuckled softly. The father closed the door behind him and walked to his children, sitting beside them.

"But Kaguya is a girl, right? Girls are fragile you know?" Gakuho stated.

Gakushuu thought for a moment before getting up on his feet. "I'll protect her!"

The older male giggled followed by his wife.

"You promise then?"

"Promise!"

"Neh!! I'm not weak!!' said Kaguya, frustrated by his father remark and tugged his father's shirt. Gakuho laughed and caressed her head. "I didn't say that did I? I said you were precious..."

"As precious as a pearl...."

************************

But everything changed after that day....

It was a rainy evening...Father was supposed to come home early. Mother said he was visiting his old student...

He came back all soaking wet from the rain perhaps...

The first thing he did was drag my mother in to the study. Gakushuu and I headed towards the door of the study, eavesdropping on their conversation. Father used a tone in his voice we have never heard before, screaming and shouting, frustration in every word he said.

We could hear Mother's soothing voice trying to calm father but he did not listen.

That night, Gakushuu and I were not able to sleep. We were scared. We were scared something bad was happening and we were right.

Father started to lock himself in the room by himself or with Mother. He acted strangely. Father never ate dinner with us, nor played with us anymore. The few weeks of July we never had any chance to see his face anymore.

And then when Father came out, his face was scary. A dark face never have I seen in my life.

A few days later, Mother visited our room, telling us she was going to leave us. I remembered how badly I cried that night. I did not know what it meant at that time but Father had issued a divorce.

******************

Life without Mother had been cruel. Ever since she left us, Father had been pestering us to study almost every minute of our life. I could not stand it really, private tutors, elementary school, extra classes...it gave me no time to play at all. As I sat for my middle school entrance exams, at the age of twelve, I scored one of the lowest marks among the students who applied. Gakushuu, however, become an ace student, passing at the top rank for father's school.

Father was frustrated when he received my results. In the end, I could not get into most of the middle schools and father decided to put me in the hands of private tutors. For years I studied hoping to achieve results for my father. I really tried my best, and i continued to let him pressure me. Father locked me out from the outside world while Gakushuu had friends from all around.

That was where I started to find myself useless and started to hurt myself...

If I could not produce results like Gakushuu did....what am I to Father?

Father found me in my room while I was doing so. He saw how i hurt myself continuously. He took me and drag me on to wall, looking freaked out and traumatized. He begged me for an answer of why I did so to myself and at that time I snapped.

I told him how much I tried to improve myself, I told him how much pain it was to be tortured mentally by him, I questioned his methods of bringing him up and worst of all I demanded Mother back. He looked at me with eyes of a demon and told me I could do whatever I want if I prove to him how much I've grown by taking the entrance exams for his school.

I knew he set up the standards for the exam and purposely made me failed....

"And here I am...in the End class..." Kaguya said as tears came rolling down her cheeks. Despite that she smiled, a broken smile.
