They all sat silently at the dinner table, y/n pushed her Chinese around on the plate as the rest of the men talked around her. Nile sat silently as he looked at her, eating his forkful of yakisoba noodles. Y/n hasn't processed that Maeve knew Dalia, the fact that her sister was around Hart was eating away at her.

"She had to have known him. What if the night my family was killed it was staged as a break in. What If that's what happened.. why else would Maeve not.. fight.. or did she.." Nile dropped his fork as he looked at y/n. "You think Maeve let the killer in? But why?"

"Nile did you not just hear me? If she wasn't threatened by the killers presence then there was no need to raise the alarm... but wait that night it happened... where was my brother? Ryutaro was the only one not at the scene.. then he disappeared for years." Y/n felt her stomach plummet to her core. There's no way that her brother would have brutally murdered the entire family..

"He was going through gang initiation with Ryuga. Once you become apart of ryugas gang it's relentless. Part of the agreement he had to basically disappear off the face of the earth for a couple weeks. That's why he disappeared y/n. None of us were allowed to tell you."

Us? "Us? Kyoya i didn't speak to you for years. I don't know any of you besides." Y/n looked at Nile, his face fell, the same reaction he always had when he knew he was guilty of something. "Nile. Is there something that your not telling me?" Nile put his head in his hands as he turned to her. The colour draining from his face entirely, his eyes losing all color as he looks like he was about to cry. "I've been apart of fangs.. since we were 16. Right after your parents were killed I became a part of fangs too try and protect you."

Y/n's face had betrayal and hurt written all over it. "Excuse me? I thought for how long kyoya was my stalker. And now, you tell me that ever since my family was killed.. you have been apart of the gang scene. Are you fucking kidding me?" Nile shook his head as he looked her dead in the eye, untucking his shirt to reveal his holster and opal crusted pistol. "No. I did it to protect you, and MY sister." Y/n forgot all about his sister. Technically she went to live with their dad so she doesn't talk to Nile much anymore.

"If you lied about this. What else have you been lying to me about Nile?" Nile averted his gaze, he knew he couldn't look her in the eye after that one. Hiding the secret of Fangs was hard enough over these last years. "Nothing. That's it."

"Un fucking believe able." Y/n shoved her plate out of the way as she slammed her chair in, storming upstairs into the bedroom where she stayed. Nile sighed as he looked at the other members of his gang, kyoya didn't look bothered at all. "She needed to learn Nile. You didn't do anything wrong." "How can you say that. You know whats happened." Kyoya shook his head as he finished the scotch in his glass.

Y/n crawled into bed, curling into a ball as she started to cry, burying her head in the silk pillowcases, her tears puddling below her head.

Flash back to the night of the murder. Y/n POV

I'be been sitting in my room for weeks now, my friends keep absolutely nagging me to go out tonight. After me and Kyoya's argument.. after he cut me up like someone playing fruit ninja I don't wanna think about leaving my room. These last few weeks have been me and Maeve hanging out a lot  more.. I haven't seen Nile in a few weeks either. I distanced myself ever since I got threatening letters.. my stalker has been ramped up a lot lately, definitely getting more bold as these weeks go by. The nickname sugar freaks me the fuck out. The letters, love baskets, cupcakes.. And then when I started ignoring the letters and gifts it started becoming pictures of me and my siblings, mainly me.
