Yachi's Older Sister

Fifteen

"Mina, how long are you going to stay?" I asked as we walked towards Coach's shop and she thought.

"Hmm, I dunno. I wanna see your ho-"

"No!" I yelled and she eyed me.

"Excuse me?"

"Look, I've played your games in Tokyo. I thought I was finally done with them when I moved here but you found me, again. I-I destroyed my entire life in the span of a day when you called because I didn't want my friends- no, my family to be brought into your mess. I destroyed the heart of the only guy I've ever cared for, ruined all my friendships, and I shoved my sister away all because you used to scare me. But I'm done, I'm tired of being scared of you and ruining my life every time you come around. Mina, you've destroyed me over and over and I played your prostitution play in Tokyo, I'm not doing it anymore. Just, just go back to Tokyo and leave me alone." I said and she scoffed then hit me and I fell to the ground.

"You think you can just back out like that?! I own you, Novalie! I created-"

"You made the old Novalie, not the one I am now." I growled and she glared.

"You'll regret this."

"Go ahead and try to make me." I snapped and she punched me then I let her beat me until she stood and left, leaving me behind. Someone grabbed me and I looked to see Asahi then I saw the team and stared in shock.

"How much did you hear?"

"We heard from something about games in Tokyo on." Daichi said and I looked down as I stood.

"I'm sorry, I never meant to do this. I never wanted to push you all away but I did because I was scared. And Asahi, what I said to you-"

"I understand why you did." He said and I smiled as he hugged me and kissed my head.

"Who was she?" Hitoka asked and I shook my head.

"A mistake." I whispered and we went to the apartment where mom wasn't so we could talk.

"...then I moved here and I thought it was over, guess I was wrong." I said and winced as Kiyoko cleaned the cut on my head.

"You could have fought back, why didn't you?" Tanaka asked and I smiled as Kiyoko backed up.

"If I had, she would have come for me again. I let her do this, now she'll leave me be. I fought back when I moved and now I'm here getting bandaged, I didn't fight again." I said and Asahi grabbed my hand then I smiled as I held his tightly.

"So, is it all over now?" Hinata whispered and I looked at him then sighed.

"I-if you want hope, I don't know what to say. Honestly answering you, Hinata, I don't know if it's over and behind me. Mina isn't one to let things go, none of my old friends were. I'm sure that someday, my past will come back and I won't be able to protect my friends and family again. You all will be pulled into it and there's nothing I can do to stop it next time, I'm sorry." I said and Hinata nodded then Hitoka sighed.

"Well, I can say I'm glad you aren't a genuine bitch." My sister said and I stared at her in shock.

"Excuse me?" I laughed and she shrugged.

"You were being a bitch to us all, I'm just glad it was a ruse to make sure we were safe." She said and I shook my head as everyone grinned.

"Oh, and before I forget." I said and looked at the four-eyed blonde.

"Hurt my sister and I will personally hang you from the school flagpole in nothing but speedos and a neon pink bow on your head." I said and he nodded, knowing I wasn't messing around.

"Got it."

"She will too." Hitoka said and I smirked as I remembered when some girl tried to bully my sister.

"Oh, that was fun." I said and Hitoka shook her head.

"You were in your first year of high school, you didn't have to beat the girl."

"Hey, I came all the way from Tokyo to defend you! Hell, I'd cross hell and back to beat a bitch." I said and my sister smiled as the guys laughed some. Asahi grabbed my hand and I smiled as I laid against him, happy none of them hated me for how I acted before.
