Chapter 1

12 years ago

The clouds up above grew darker in gray as a loud clap of thunder was heard. The rain that was nothing but a mere drizzle turned into a heavy pour that could make any cat run. Lightning bolted across the sky in flashes of hot white; illuminating the dark fields down below. The cold rain drenching me as my mother hurriedly drags me down the dark streets of Musutafu. "Mum where are we going" My mother's hand squized my own hand as a sign of affection, "It's okay baby muma's gunna take you to Anuti Reis house."

I stumbled forward a bit as another clap came from above me. "But what about dad" I watched my mother's face darken before pulling me in front off her making us come to a hault, aggressively she grabbed my shoulders shaking my small form slightly. "That man is not your dad okay and he is never gunna lay a finger on you again!" I nod my head slowly before quickly hiding my face in my mother's chest as a bright yellow light approached, a young kind female voice called out. "Kami! Is that you" my mother started to pull us towards the voice. "I-i didn't know where to go but we- we couldn't stay there Rei Rei it's killing me" I listen as my Mother sobbed to the women making my eyes begin to sting as water began to full. I hate it when mum's upset I feel so useless.

I pulled away to get a look at the kind women she had long white hair and kind eyes she smiled at me while crouching down to my height. "Hey sweetie my names Rie and who might you be" I froze not quite sure what to do I looked up at my mother for approval, she gave me a nod and I turned back to the kind women before gaining the courage to look her in the eyes. "Suzuki Aki" I bowed.

"Mum what's going on?"

I look up to see a boy with messy white hair and sapphire eyes gazing at my curiously, his arms and legs covered in bandages. what are all those bandages from?

"Touya honey this is my friend Kami Suzuki and her daughter Aki Suzuki"
My mum steps forward to the the boy who looked around my age smiling happily. "Hello Touya it's good to see you you've grown so much" I watch as the boy scrunches his nose in confusion. "I don't know you" the boy stated rudely it made my blood boil no one speaks to my mum like that before I could say anything my mother and Rei burst out laughing. "He's certainly got your spunk Rei" my mother chuckeld. "Touya of course you won't remember Kami you were just a baby same for you Aki you won't remember me as you were also a baby when we met. Me and your mother both went to U.A together and later on down the line we both got pregnant giving birth to you two on the same day." I stood still eyes wide I look up at the boy he's face similar to my own eyes wide with shock.

Rei suddenly stopped smiling before quicky rushing into the big house and running out with two white towels. "You both must be soaked" she warps the towel round my shoulders as well as my mum's. "Thank you Rei this means everything my mother spoke softly to the kind women. Rei just smiled brighter "no need to thank me kam your like family, Touya honey can you please take Aki to your room and give her some clothes and a matt to sleep on" I looked to the blue eyed boy and watchned as he let out a huff before turning and walking away. "Go along sweetie Touya will look after you" I quickly run along to catch up to the boy a couple inches taller then me.

The silence was deafening as we walked through the big house all that could be heard was the sound of my wet feet walking along the wooden planks. We came to a stop at a door the boy turning around to face me eyes bearing into my soul. "Don't touch anything got it " I nodded quicky not making any attempts at eye contact pleasing the boy as he pushed open the door. The room was plain and simple a double bed to the right and a desk beside a wardrobe with a few weights laying around in a corner. The blue eyed boy headed straight for the wardrobe taking out some black joggers and hoodi before dropping them on my head. "Hey short stack take these the bathroom over there go get changed" I took the clothes from my head scowling at the boy "Your 2 inches taller then me" I mumbled before walking over to bathroom. "Tch whatever."
