Fight For Feelings (Fight For Affection Sequel)

Act Four: Falling in Reverse: Part One

Sorry this one is late! I got to watch more of the anime, and because the anime is finished I'm going to follow that now. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.

"Are you sure you're okay?" For the umpteenth time, I didn't reply. I honestly couldn't reply to such a direct question like this without either lying or not saying anything at all. So I went with the latter. Father, or should I say Terrence, forbade me from going to moms funeral. I didn't give two fucks about him, I was still going to her funeral anyway.

"D'ya wanna hear a joke?"

"What?" Tori had been trying to make me feel better for the past two days, and it wasn't working.

"Who puts the fun in funeral?"

"That's way, way too soon Tori. It's not even funny."

"My bad. That's what my dad did when my mom died. It made me feel a little better, so I was hoping it would work."

"Well it didn't. Sorry." I shrugged. I barely felt the pain of loosing the one and only person that cared and appreciated me when I was a kid, now I only felt empty, like my whole body was numb. Tori frowned as we walked towards Cram School. Tori enrolled in as a page first, but after a lot of studying she was able to pass the written exam to become an exwire. She was under the meister as a aria and a knight, while I was a doctor and a dragoon. Not much had been happening lately, and we were waiting for a new mission to be offered. We went to put our cram school key in, but Rin met us there.

"There's no Cram School today." He said. He gave me a tight one armed hug.

"You doing okay?" He questioned. Once again I didn't want to lie, so I gently pushed past him and went to my dorm. Instead of sharing a dorm with Paku and Kamiki, I had my own with Tori. As I did I slipped into my own deep reserve. Rin walked on my left, Tori on my right, and I picked up on a conversation between Rin and Tori about random things, like someone's birthday. I mostly ignored this as I wandered aimlessly.

"Aaushi, you know you're going the wrong way home, right?" I snapped out of my reserve and realized I was walking towards Mephisto's mansion, not my dorm. I shrugged and turned around, but Tori grabbed my shoulders.

"Aaushi, you need to talk about this-"

"I don't wanna talk about it." I mumbled, trying to escape her grip, but she held on tight.

"Aaushi-"

"Don't 'Aaushi' me!" I smacked her hand away. Tori glared at me.

"Aaushi, talk to me. I know you're burning up inside. Just tell me how you feel, then you might feel better."

"I'm not telling you anything. Leave me alone." I finally escaped her hold and huffed away, going up the stairs to my dorm. I then slammed the door shut and climbed up to my bed (which was top bunk) and flopped down on it. I didn't cry, I didn't think either. I just drifted off to my mind.

~Memories~

"Who'd adopt Aaushi?" One of the girls in my block hissed.

"She's just a stuck up loner?"

"Kanda..." one of the other girls said.

"She's been through a lot, so I've heard."

"We've all been through a lot, does that make her special?"

"Aaushi!" The lady of the house called.

"Someone's here to see you!" The other girl scoffed as I made my way downstairs. Waiting for me was a woman with strawberry blond hair and bright green eyes, smiling kindly at me.
