The Freak

Yuma Kousaka

Amaya's POV

The man. I definitely know where he's from. I know who is is. I could never mistaken this man. He had moppy pink hair and a black beanie on his forehead and wore a grey hoodie and a pink tie with black gloves outlined in white. My dad.

"Mph!"

He yelled again. His eyes were stinging from the bad fumes underneath the school. His tears falling down like he had just witnessed someone die. Maybe he did. Maybe he was forced to watch all of them die. And I would be the last one he would watch again.

I ripped the piece of duct tape on his mouth and he winced from the pain.

"Amaya..."

My dad said breathlessly. I untied him from the rope that had already made marks on his skin. He got up and embraced me tight in the fatherly love I got before disappearance.

"Dad I thought you were dead!"

"Gakupo thought I was dead. Luka told him."

Then I heard Luka's name which made me cry as much as my dad was when he witnessed all of the deaths.

"What's wrong, Amaya?"

"Luka, S-she-"

"She was the one that kidnapped me. I know and I saw."

I wiped my tears away before I could make anymore and the both of us got up from the gutters an onto school grounds and made sure know one saw my dad. I disguised him as an average school Senior as he put on the school's uniform.

I got it from the lost and found. Surprisingly, it fit him! So I led him to the lunch area when usually my group of friends sat at. Lin looked at me oddly, but Maito and Akio knew that this was my dad easily. My dad waved at them but Lin was confused.

"Amaya who is this?"

"Um...this is....Yuuma Kousaka! My adopted older brother!"

Lin was confused.

"Should we tell her?"

I whispered to my dad and he nodded.

"What I meant was...this is Yuuma Kousaka. My dad. But shush. Don't tell anyone."

Lin nodded slowly and took Akio's hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Kousaka," Maito had said.

"Well, your formal for a 14 year old!" My dad said in surprise.

I pretty much just face palmed myself when I heard all of this.

"Okay so dad, you already know Lin."

I pointed to Lin and my dad waved.

"You already know Maito."

I pointed to Maito and my dad waved.

"And this is Akio. Gakupo and Luka's son."

Akio shyly waved and my dad waved back. I ate my carrots silently while Lin and Akio blabber about what they're wearing, a limo, etc etc.. Maito and my dad were talking about aKaito and Luka silently I joined in.

"Luka killed Gumi?" My dad asked and Maito shook his head.

"Luka sent aKaito to kill Gumi is what we're guessing." Maito said. I nodded agreeing.

"Who was the one that kidnapped you?" I asked my dad.

My dad was silent for a moment and he answered with his fingers trembling.

"It was Luka. That's how I knew she was the one."

"I still don't understand. Why would Luka send aKaito to kill her own son?"

"aKaito might have gotten mad and killed for himself. Same thing with Gakupo. And possibly the same thing for you," Maito said.

Those worlds made me afraid. My dad put his arm around me like a dad and I hugged him tight. I really had missed my dad. When someone told me he was dead, my heart was shattered into a million tiny pieces.

When I found out he was alive, those pieces came back together like puzzle pieces but the parts are missing. I don't feel, whole. But my dad came back! All those pieces should be back together? I still felt like something was missing. Beside my mom, Gakupo, and Kaito's death I have already healed from. Luka's betrayal, I have already healed from and got over it, but I still don't consider her family still. I think there is something missing even after all of the healing I went though. But what was it? What was it that I needed?

Lunch period was over and I had to keep the disguise that my dad was my Senior brother so I brought him into the first class I went to after lunch. He sat at my right and Maito at my left. He smiled at me and I sheepishly smiled back shyly.

"Is Maito your boyfriend?" My dad whispered over to me.

I quickly turned red when he said that.

"N-No! He's just a friend!"

"I don't know...he seems really nice to you."

My dad winked at me twice like what Lin did. I rolled my eyes like I also did last time. I hated the winking thing. But he was my dad so I had to respect him in a way.

"He's just my friend, Yuma."

I had to disguise that he wasn't my dad. I had to say his first name instead. When the teacher came he asked about my dad. I quickly said his name was Yuuma Kousaka. My senior brother who was held back a couple grades. The teacher smiled at me and my dad smiled at me too. I smirked at my dad.

*time skip*

So after school I walked home with my dad, Maito, and Akio. Right. I had to live with the Shions now. I don't think it was a problem. Their house was beautiful minus the blood wall that aKaito made when he murdered. I dropped my backpack onto the couch and did my homework lying on the ground.

I finished earlier than Maito on my homework and I was silent for a second. But then huge conversations started to happen with Luki and Dad.

"It all started because you nearly killed her!" Luki screamed furiously.

"On accident! And she made it a big deal!" My dad said.

"Oh shut up! If you weren't so clumsy Gumi would have been alive!" Luki said.

"Shut up...," My dad said.

"Amaya would have a mom!"

"I said shut u-"

"NO YOU SHUT UP!!! I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN WITH MY SISTER AND SHE WOULDN'T BE A CRAZY PERSON SENDING AKAITO TO KILL EVERYONE!!!!!"

"ARE YOU TELLING ME TO SHUT UP?! IT WAS YOUR SISTER'S NERVES THAT STARTED ALL OF THIS NOT ME!!!! SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CHOSE NOT TO FORGIVE!!!! SHE HATED US FOR A LONG TIME EVER SINCE THAT DAY!!!! IF SHE DIDN'T HOLD ANY GRUDGES GAKUPO, KAITO, AND GUMI WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!!!!"

The both of them broke down in tears slowly as tear and tear flowed down. Maito and I ran up to the room upstairs and waited for the argument to subside. It never did. I could still hear yells and screams downstairs. Akio was in his other room. So he wouldn't be part of the fight and end up getting hurt.

I began to cry myself. I just found out that my dad was alive. He's with me now. And he begins to fight with my Uncle. I just felt like, it wasn't right. The first day he comes back he argues.

"Amaya, I'm sorry that had to happen-"

"Don't apologize it wasn't your fault."

Maito nodded and I forced a smile at him. But mixed with all of the tears that fell I broke down into a sob. Maito hugged me and I hid my face in his right sleeve. I still didn't get...how he was always there off me even though I didn't completely trust him. Maybe I trusted him. And in the very beginning. Maybe I...liked him?
