[Ririka pov]

Flashback...

"Ririka... morning..." Hitomi softly spoke.

My maid was busy picking up my clothing. I threw around the room, "Why are you sad?" I asked once I began to look at her with one eye open.

"Your father wants to see you..." She said

*He wants to see me?*

"That can't be the only reason because you are way too sad for that to be the case. There is no way he willingly wants me; I was a mistake in his eyes!" I told her.

"He wants you to live with him for now on," Hitomi states softly. It sounded like she was going to cry.

I looked at her with astonishment and couldn't believe what she said: "No way!" I shout, "That bastard hates me, so why!?" I asked Hitomi and shrugged, not knowing why he would want me to stay with him.

"You should pack..." Hitomi sighed

I got up and rushed over to my maid, grabbing her arm tightly and surprising her, "Can you buy me a few days!?" I ask

"I can..." She said, "But why?"

"Look at my body!" I cried out.

She peered down and saw how badly scarred I was from years of straight abuse. "Ririka-chan, I thought you liked that stuff." Hitomi states

"There is a difference between getting off on it and your own father abusing you, Hitomi. I don't want to live with him; he clearly all of a sudden sees some value in me; otherwise, he wouldn't want me to go back to him!!"

Hitomi nods "Ririka I'll buy you a couple of days because I trust that you can get out of this. You always have been able to get out of tough situations like this, so please promise me that you will return to me."

"Hitomi, I promise!" I told her.

My maid gently smiled and said, "Thank you."

I have to meet up with Hajime.

I got ready and left the house, rushing to our usual meetup spot. She quickly noticed my panic and asked, "What's wrong?" Hajime questions

"We need to kick my father's ass!" I shout

"That's a quick decision."

"Hajime, I'm serious!" I tell her.

She suddenly changed her mood and stared. "What is the occasion?" She questioned

"My father wants me to live with him because he found some way to extort me, and I don't want to live with him; he beats me, and besides, he wouldn't let me see you!"

"Why are you so worried about seeing me?" Banchou questions

"Because I lo... because you are my friend!"

Hajime tilted her head. "What were you saying originally?" She asked, confused by my quick pivot.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it," I say.

"So you want to kick your father's ass, but you don't have a reason to do so. You can't just impromptu kick his ass; you have to have a reason!" Hajime tells me

Banchou did have a point, even though I hate the guy. I can't really go up to him and punch him without a reason.

"We should go anyways and have a stern talk to him because he's such a little shit!" I shout

"I suppose..." Banchou sighed

*ring*

My phone began to ring. I looked down at it. "Hitomi is calling me." I commented. Banchou motioned for me to answer my phone, and so I did.
