F#cking Professor Rengoku - AU Rengoku x Reader +18 (COMPLETED)

Chapter 62

Sanemi's POV: (in the past as kids)

"Take care, Nemi." My little sister smiled at me when I opened the creaky iron door of our shelter, ready to leave. "Are you sure I can't help?" She asked innocently.

I was 11 and she was 8 years old...

I had to grow up quickly, because she had no one else to lean onto. Only I could take care of her. We only had each other and no one else since the accident. I didn't let the authorities tear her away from me to bring her to an institute. We would have went into different ones and I couldn't let that happen. She needed me. I was respoinsible for her. So I rather did everything in my own way. That's why we were always moving from one abandoned building to an other one. I couldn't afford to get caught.

Making a living at this age was hard. I was only a kid myself, so it was rare if anyone hired me for smaller jobs. I mean... who would want a kid as an employee? So... only one more choice remained for me at this point.

I had to steal...

"Let me help and work too! I wanna help you so we could get more money and food!" She insisted.

She thought that every single day when I left, I was off to work somewhere to earn some money, whilst in reality I went to steal from anywhere I could. Food, money, valuable items... whatever I could find. It was necessary if I didn't want us to starve. I would if it meant that she could eat, but things don't work that way. Life was more cruel than that and (y/n) was just an innocent little girl. She was too young to get introduced to this kind of world.

"It's okay. Just stay home and don't leave anywhere. I will be back in the afternoon. There's still a few pieces of fruit and an instant ramen left. Make sure to eat, okay?" I told her, patting her head, before leaving and closing the door behind myself.

I took a look up at the sky, inhaling deeply before I begun walking. "Another hard day..."

However soon I stopped when I heard purring by my feet. That grey stray cat who followed me back home one day sat in front of me on the ground, staring at me with his blue eyes. I squatted down and petted his head like I always do. "Sorry, I can't give you anything right now, but I will find something for you too."

"Meow."

My stomach grumbled, making me remember why I was outside in the first place.

"Take care." I stood up, then left.

The market was near, but the sellers there recognized me and as soon as they would see me, they would call the police or chase me around for stealing from them earlier. So I couldn't go there and I had to figure out something else.

That's why I went further inside the city to look for something.

"Excuse me, little boy?" A woman called out to me.

"Huh?" I turned around to face her. My eyes widened the moment I saw her. She was full of many expensive jeweleries, wearing designer clothes and such and I instantly knew that this was my chance.

"Do you live around here? Can you help me?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Great." She smiled and showed me a business card with a famous beauty salon's name on it. "Do you know where can I find this place? I'm kinda lost and I have an appointment there shortly."

I knew the place like the back of my hand, but I had to win some time in order to steal something from her. Even if it's a single ring, bracelet or a watch, it might worth a fortune.

And so I decided to make a small trick to leave her amazed. Meanwhile I snatched what I could reach and before she could realize, I ran away, leaving her puzzled. By the time I turned down the corner she was yelling after me, but it was too late for her.
