Kana stared out of the window as kids piled into the classroom. Karu walked in, eyes immediately finding Kana. His friends looked at him when he began walking her way. "What are you doing?"
"Let him be man, he's got the hots for the new girl!" Karu turned and gave his friend, Kenji, a hard glare, causing him to flinch. "Or not."
Kana felt someone sit beside her, rolling her eyes when she seen it was her brother. It quiet amongst the two, Karu not knowing what to say and Kana not wanting to talk.
The teacher walked in, smiling at her class. "Class, we do have a new student. Kana, could you introduce yourself?"
Everyone looked at Kana as she stood with a sigh. "My name is Kana Sano, I hope you all will take care of me."
Kana sat back down, feeling Karus eyes on her. He couldn't believe that she had their dads last name now. In his mind, it was like she was trying to push herself further from their mother.
The day went on and Karu spent it spying on Kana as much as possible. They had a good amount of classes together, even lunch. But not once did they speak to eachother.
Karus friends were confused on how he would know this girl in the first place. "You think they were friends as kids or something?"
"No idea man, we'll have to ask."
Even as you waited outside of the school for your ride, Karu was right there. He usually took a bus home but he couldn't force himself to leave you. Even when the black suv pulled up, he stopped Kana from leaving. "You could just come back home with me? And we could talk about things?"
Kana stared at Karus hand on her wrist, gently pulling it from his grasp. Giving him her full attention, she definitely hurt him. "I don't ever want to talk to you. So leave me alone."
Getting in the car, Sanzu drove off. Giving Kana a smirk as she raised a brow at him. "First day back and already got boys wanting to take you home?"
Getting a disgusted look in return, Kana shook her head. "Sanzu, that was Karu."
The car jerked forward as he slammed on the break, gawking at Kana with wide eyes. "No fucking way! Five years really changed him."
Kana seen how large his pupils were, chuckling and looking out of the window. "The pills are gonna catch up with you one day."
"What do you mean? I'm invincible."
Karu slammed opened the door to his home, causing everyone to jump. Karu developed serious anger issues over the years. His mother gone and realizing it's his fault his best friend was no longer with him, hit him hard. His ADHD had also calmed down over the years, no longer needing medicine for it. Though his emotions showed that it was still there.
Draken sighed as he heard it. Leaving his office, he walked downstairs to watch Karu throw his book bag. "I take it school wasn't good?"
"You knew didn't you?!"
Draken raised a brow. Of course he knew that Kana and Karu were going to the same school. It was something him and Mikey personally sat down to talk about. He had a feeling Kana was going to have a similar reaction when she finds out Mikey knows. "I did."
"You couldn't of give me a heads up?! Not a, 'Hey Karu, have a good day at school. Oh, by the way, your sister is going there now!' Is that so hard?!"
Karu was fuming. Not only did Kana upset him with her words but he feels like Draken has turned on him. "We're hoping this can bring you two closer. At least to a point where you two can sit down and speak with eachother."
They stared at eachother, Draken noticing the tears building up in Karus eyes. "Her last name is Sano now. Did you know that?"
Draken sighed, nodding. "I did. It was a decision no one could stop. We couldn't hurt her more by telling her no."
Karu stiffly nodded, wiping his tears. "I don't even know her anymore."
Draken nodded, leaning against the wall. "Well of course you don't. You two haven't seen eachother in five years, being ten at that. You know how much you've both changed in those five years? A lot developed between ten and almost sixteen."
Karu nods, looking at the ground. Draken walked forwards, placing a hand on his head, patting it. "None of us can convince her to talk to you, we've tried. So you're gonna do it, no matter what."
He nods again, looking up. "I'm gonna get my sister back."
Kana sat down, eating dinner. She was on one side of the table, Mikey on the other side, and all of Bonten on the sides. Everyone that was gone came back from their missions today and her and Ran cooked to celebrate everyone getting home safe.
"So, how was school?"
Kana looked at Takeomi, giving him a small smile. "It was cool. I met some nice people so hopefully it works out."
"I'm sure it will." Kakucho smiled at her and she nodded, smiling back.
Mikey looked at her, hesitating his next question. "Meet anyone from your old school?"
Kana froze mid chew, looking around at everyone. Finishing the food in her mouth, she shook her head. "I don't think so. I wasn't friends with anyone from grade school anyways so I wouldn't remember any of them."
Everyone nodded in understanding while Mikey decided to push it. "No one at all?"
Kanas eyes snapped straight the Mikey's. Clenching her jaw, she set her utensils down. "You knew, didn't you?"
Everyone heard Kanas cold voice, all of them confused except Mikey and Kakucho. Kakucho was there when they all sat down to talk it over. "Kana-"
"You knew Karu would be there, didn't you?"
Everyone's eyes widened, all looking at Mikey, who stared at Kana. Karu wasn't the only one with anger issues.
But let's get one thing straight.
Kanas was worse than ever.
And that's all that Mikey could think about. If he messed this up worse than he has, hell would break loose at dinner. "Draken and I talked about it, and we feel it's best for you two to get along again."
"Does my opinion not matter in this situation?"
"Of course it does-"
"Obviously not. Since I've told you for four years that I want nothing to do with him." Mikey could see how hard she was gripping the bowl of rice right now. "I want a new school."
"You're going back to school. You need your brother, and he needs you. This isn't fair to either of you."
"I refuse."
"You don't have a choice."
Kana stared at Mikey, Mikey doing the same back. Picking up her chopsticks, she picked up her bowl of rice, taking a bite. Mikey visually relaxed. "I see."
Mikey quickly dodged the bowl rice, the glass shattering against the wall. "Kana!-"
Kana picked up another bowl, throwing it straight at him. Mikey dodged it again before looking at Sanzu, who closer to Kana. "You can't make me do this! I don't want to talk to him!"
Sanzu wrapped his arms around Kana, who quickly began to thrash around. She pulled one arm free, accidentally punching Sanzus nose, hard. "Ah FUCK!"
His nose began bleeding, Takeomi going to help him with it. Kana quickly walked away, going straight to the hall and living room. Mikey and the others ran after her, hearing more glass shattering. Vases, pictures and other expensive valuables were all in the floor. Kokonoi winced at all the broken money lying around.
The thing with Kana was when she was mad, she would go absolutely fucking insane. It started about a year after she left school. What happened with her mom, Kazutora and Karu hit her all at once. Mikey woke up to her screaming, breaking everything she could find in her room. He had to hold her, trying to calm her down until she eventually tired herself out, going to sleep. She hadn't an outburst like this since the first time, since Mikey took care of the situation before it got this far.
Mikey stared at her with wide eyes, looking between her and the piece of glass she held in front of her. "Kana, that's enough! What would your mom think about you right now?"
Mikey knew he fucked up as soon as he seen Kanas face. "Don't talk about her." She began walking closer, causing him to walk backwards. "Don't talk about her! Never talk about her, you bastard!" Mikey quickly grabbed the glass, throwing it to the side and wrapping his arms around her. "No, NO! YOU DIDNT LOVE HER, YOU LEFT US! PUT ME DOWN!"
Mikey held her close, stroking her hair, tears falling from his eyes. He could see the tears streaming down her face and felt her weaken slightly. She began sobbing, screaming out into Mikey's chest. It was like she was feeling the pain of her mom disappearing again, and Karu treating her like shit.
It was hurting her all over again.
