Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 41: Not Again, Never Again

Yumi:........(when I was young.....before my mother left........she told me....my eyes had a meaning......the sense of gold......it meant love.....strength...the will of luck and purity.......she said that good things will come my way one day.........but......)

*12 years ago*

Yuka:........what?.......

An Octoling man, presumably Yuka's father, crossed his legs as they sat on the living room table, smoking from a cigar and reading a newspaper with a very uncaring look on his face.

Y Dad: did you hear me? I said I sold your sister off.

Yuka:............f-father..........

Y Dad: hey, the man offered me a good deal. *shrugs* that's one less mouth to feed.

Yuka:.......FATHER, WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING!!!!? MOTHER LOVED YUMI AND ENTRUSTED US TO TAKE CARE OF HER!!!!

Y Dad: your mother died 2 months ago. Do you really believe I'm gonna listen to a rotting corpse? I sold the little weirdo off to slavery so she can be much more useful.

Yuka: YUMI CAN'T DEFEND HERSELF, FATHER!! THE ONLY REASON I JOINED THE OCTARIAN ARMY IS SO I COULD PROTECT HER AS WE GROW OLDER!!!!

Y Dad: you really think protecting that brat is important? Everything she gets involved in, she turns into a hell hole. I didn't want a second child....but your dumbass mother refused to abort the little weirdo.

Yuka:..........

Y Dad: you should honestly be thankful. You are my blood, and my successor to the Octarian army. Now you can truly focus on your training with that little brat gone.

Yuka:.........I'd rather kill myself than be related to a man like you.....

Just then, Yuka's father stood up and quickly slapped her across her face, making her fall on the ground, holding her cheek and looking up at him, seeing his disgusting glare.

Y Dad: First you yell at me....then you insult our blood heritage. WE ARE BORN WARRIORS!!! STRENGTH FLOWS THROUGH OUR VEINS!!! I SAW MY FRIENDS DIE IN FRONT OF MY FACE, BUT I DIDN'T CARE!!! BECAUSE ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LOVE, BONDS, FRIENDS, LINKS DON'T EXIST!!!

Yuka:.......

Y Dad:....don't make me throw you out as well....

*Timeskip*
*one year later*

A 7 year old Yumi was instantly shoved straight onto the ground by an Octoling girl, looking dead into her eyes while gritting her teeth, bloody, and crying.

The Octoling girl got on top of Yumi and began viciously punching her in her face while screaming in agony as every punch connected. Even though she was brutally getting beaten, Yumi wasn't trying to defend herself whatsoever.....she just laid there.....and took the pain....not saying a single word....showing no signs of pain either.

An Octoling boy grabbed the Octoling girl and pulled her off of Yumi, and the Octoling girl tried her hardest to get out of his grip, attempting to kick Yumi to continue the beating even more. Yumi slowly leaned up and allowed the blood to drip from her nose, and bruises to swell up on her face, and the Octoling girl screamed at the top of her lungs at Yumi.

???: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!

???2: *grunts* Clover! Calm down!!
