It all started twelve years ago.
"Rei, get your butt down here this instant!" Roared the demon.

"Reijiro, do not yell at your mother like that, and do not bring up that taboo subject again. Understood, now get down here this instant." Roared the other demon. Since my brother died all they every do is either cry or take their anger/frustration out on me by either yelling or ignoring me, which could last almost a month.
"Fine, I'm coming," I said while walking down the stairs. "Now what do you want?" I asked not really interested in what they have to say.
"Honey, me and your father have been discussing, and came to a conclusion that we can't blame you for everything. You're just a kid and you should not have to deal with us anymore." My mother started. "So we, as a team, have decided that we will have a family outing at the pool today. So go pack your pool stuff and meet us in the car." Said my father. Can I believe my own ears. Are they finally ready to start acting like a family.
"OK, I'll go pack, and then I'll meet you guys in the car." I said in hopes that this is not a trick to try and get rid of me.
Let's see how today at the pool goes for us.
