There Is Light At The End Of The Tunnel ( A Kamisama Hajimemashita story)

The Reality Of Life

" That's right sweetie, strum that chord right there." A woman said to her six year old daughter.

"Like this mommy?!" The six year old asked her mother, smiling brightly at her as she strummed the chord of the guitar.

" Yes baby." The woman replied while kissing the top of her daughters head as she stood up. " You keep practicing sweetie, I'm gonna go and start dinner before your daddy gets home."

" OK mommy, what are we eating today? huh huh huh?!" The six year old asked while bouncing up and down on her little purple stool.

" Hahaha, were having your favorite today." The woman replied, smiling.

The girl gasped and sat her miniature guitar on its stand and ran into the kitchen and grasped her mother's leg.

" Really mommy?! Were gonna eat chicken Alfredo?!" The little girl asked while looking up at her mother smiling.

" Haha, yes we are, now go finish practicing." The mother said to her daughter.

" Yes mommy." The six year old trotted back into the living room and continued her guitar lessons while singing her favorite song " Hajimari No Kaze" her father taught her that song, and her mother learned it and sung along with them.

" Do you fucking here me?!" A loud yell broke the eighteen year old out of her musings.

" I'm sorry father, could you repeat that? " The girl asked while putting the last dish she washed in the drying bin.

" Ugh! Open your fucking ears when I talk to you, I'm not about to keep repeating myself aika!" The man yelled at his daughter. " Now I said go to the corner store and get me some cigarettes!" He yelled again.

" Yes sir." Angel said.

Angel wiped off her hands on the towel and went to her room to grab her purse, knowing that her father wasn't about to pay, because he didn't have any money.

" And hurry back!" He yelled at her.

" Yes sir." The girl bowed to her father before leaving.

Her name? Angel Aika Fujita, she's now eighteen years old. Every since her mother died, her father moved them to Japan, in a neighborhood in Tokyo, as the years progressed, he became more and more monstrous towards her and refuse to call her by her first name, only by her middle name, besides that, she is a high school student, to be more specific, she's a senior, this is her last year in high school, and after her school hours are done, she has a part time job at a restaurant called " Animazing " it's an anime themed restaurant, and her job is to entertain the guests with her musical abilities.

Angel's Pov

When I got to the corner store, I went in and got what my father told me to get him, and I grabbed me a box of pocky, and went to the checkout counter.

" Ohhh, my favorite customer." The perverted cashier said. " Is this all you getting today babe?"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and settled with a nod.

" So, when are you gonna let me take you out on a date?" He asked. " You know, I can show you a real good time." He said in a tragic trying to be seductive voice.

" I have to get home." I stated in a low voice while handing him the amount of money the stuff costs.

" I'm sure you can spare a few minutes, how about we talk for a bit, service is slow today anyways." He said while handing me my bag of stuff.

" I'm sorry, it's late and I have to go home." I said while putting on an apologetic smile and I turned around and walked out of the store.

I took a deep breath as the cool crisp night air tussled my hair and dress, I looked up at the moon.

" It's a full moon tonight." I said to myself.

" Beautiful isn't it?" I heard a masculine voice say from behind me.

I swirled around, my heart pounding non stop, standing in front of me, I saw the man who works in the corner store, and he had a smile on his face, and it didn't look like a relatively good smile either, so I started to back away.

" I'm sorry to intrude, I just saw that you hadn't left yet, and you were looking up at the moon, so I decided to come out and get some fresh air, and have a little chat with you." He said while walking towards me and I instinctively backed away.

" I'm sorry, I have to go home." I said as I turned away and began walking, well, speed walking.

" OK miss, I'll see you around then." He said while waving, with a sadistic smile on his face.

I continued to speed walk all the way home, and when I finally got to my door, I took out my key and unlocked the door, and walked in, I covered my head and ducked as I saw a beer bottle coming at me full force, it burst against the wall, beer and shards of glass getting all over me. I looked up and saw my father struggling to stand up straight, he had a malicious look in his eyes as he walked over to me and jacked me up by the sleeves of my dress and he threw me against the wall.

" Didn't I tell you to hurry the fuck up?! It took you a fucking hour to walk to a fucking corner store thats just down the fucking street!!" He said yelling in my face.

" It only took me twenty minutes father." I said.

*Slap*

" You don't fucking talk back to me!" He yelled in my face. "Now give me my shit!"

I reached into the bag while the other hand was on my stinging cheek and was about to get his cigarettes, but he tore the bag out of my hand and threw me aside and looked inside of the bag.

" This is what was taking so long? Your fat ass is always getting food!" He shouted while dumping my box of pocky on the floor and stepping on them. " Next time do what I ask and we won't have a problem, you got that?!" He yelled while pointing his finger in my face.

" Yes sir." I said as I flinched, and brought my arms up to cover my face, thinking that he was about to hit me again.

" Now get the hell out of my face." He said as he stumbled back to the living room.

I scrambled to my feet and ran to my room, I opened my screen door and went inside and closed it behind me, I slid to the floor, tears one by one streaming down my face.

" What did I do to deserve this? " I thought to myself as I brought my knees up to my chest and put my head on my knees as I wrapped my arms around my knee's.

I begin to sob quietly, until I fell asleep.
