Touya's POV
I was Lying on my bed like cot after dinner shivers went down my spine as I remembered the conversation we had at dinner,
I could feel my skin start to get colder, Maybe whatever drug Enji gave me is still in my system I'll need to figure out what it is, it's effecting me badly and I've taken many substances in my drug resistance training .
I stood up and went into what Enji called my changing room,
mom said to just call it a closet but a changing room seemed more fitting,
after all a closet should have shelves,
and a lot of clothes,
and maybe a space for toys,
damn when was the last time I had a toy? instead I had a little door off on the side it was small enough to go unnoticed but big enough for me to hide in with a sibling,
maybe Fayumi and Natsou could hide here when we're gone.
I stretched my legs out and and closed the door, after walking around for a bit the room was spinning again so I sat on my bed and tried to clear my head when that didn't work I went to sleep sitting up.

Rei's POV
Everything is wrong so ,wrong, terribly wrong, horribly wrong,
what happened earlier was horrible why didn't I go to Touya? he was laying faced down in the dirt and gravel,
my baby was lying there bleeding and in pain and I just went inside,
of course I had to make sure Shoto was inside safely there would be absolutely no excuse if they both got hurt.
The house was deadly silent as I held  pair of rusting scissors in my hand, I pressed the sharp point of the blade into my finger its too full to do any damage,
then again rust would be bad on a cut,
I stared in the mirror and I saw a sight that I truly hated,
deranged woman with freakishly long white hair and dull eyes,
A long time ago If you asked me if I I loved my hair I would've said yes but now?. that's not the case that's not the case at all I hate it I absolutely hate it,
Enji made me grow out my hair he thought I looked too masculine when it was short guess he didn't like that.

I knew if I cut it I would be the target of Enji's rage and I hate even being in the same room as that man but he hit Natsou and Fayumi today,
I saw the bruises and the hurt on Fayumi's face and if I could stop at least two of them from getting physically wounded I would,
I already failed as a mother I can't stand to look at them sometimes but I'm trying,
the least I could do is succeed in being a punching bag so they won't be hurt.

I grabbed a fist full of hair and started hacking away I felt ,
and as more and more strand's and locks fell I felt myself smile, for the first time in almost 17 years I was smiling and for something as little and stupid as this? I really was losing it. When I was done I left the mess there with a smile and said "I'm not cleaning up this mess" it's been so long since I've relaxed ,It was quiet so i started giggling and oh when was the last time I did that? Soon I started to laugh until I felt tears spring into my eyes then I started sobbing but everything was so light and airy, I collapsed onto the floor while pulling at my hair, then it was quiet again, I stared at the time it was 7:42 oh, he would be home soon maybe if I'm sleep he'll leave me alone, I quickly stood up and ran to the guest bedroom it was nice? It had light blue wallpapers and carpets, two windows and a queen sized bed with an ivory blanket set, odd I never went in here before, I locked the door and took the sheets off of the bed, I wonder if I should check on Shoto he's only a child but I can't stand to look at him, half of the time he looks like Enji and that horrifies me to think he may end up acting like him.
I started hyperventilating when I spotted a small hand held mirror on one of the dressers, I'll just go to sleep, yes sleep I'm calm in my sleep, safe in my sleep......but yet I couldn't it felt safe in here but I couldn't sleep, I moved the dresser infront of the door and then I felt a weird feeling, was I...happy?
When all that was done I collapsed on the floor and started laughing as tears poured from my eyes, this could be a safe place if I can hide here discreetly, I continued laughing until my side started hurting then I started coughing through tears after a while I was vomiting I don't remember when I started but I know that I crawled into the closet and curled In a ball afterwards to finally sleep for the night.
