You Used To Be Useful: Ayaka's Story

Prologue

"I said I love her... but you want to hand her over to my brother for pity..?" Voices from the other side of the door echoed. Familiar voices. That day, I could've either stopped that gunshot or walk away. Instead...

"You're disgusting."

I just listened to it...

PAH! PAH!

"Ayaka..."

Is that his voice..? 

"Ayaka..." The voice alters.

No that isn't his...

"Ayaka Mano!" Two voices clashed together woke me up.

It's those pitiful brothers of mine.

I slowly awaken as I stare at the two idiots in front of me. Feeling my eyes narrow and scan the aircraft, realizing I'm on a jet.

"We're here." One of them said.

"Rule one," I reminded, looking for my luggage. They groan and shook their heads.

Not even giving them any more attention, I unbuckled my seatbelt and hopped off the jet immediately. With the small luggage in my hand, a flight attendant launches himself at my bag and scurries away with it inside. I blankly stare at the new mansion, well honestly, I glanced at it annoyed.

What is the point of a new home in Japan? Why can't I just live in Paris alone..? 

Our butler jumped off the plane and offered a hand to my step-mom so she could walk down the stairs.

"Why thank you, Ichiya," She smiled.

"Anytime ma'am," He responded with a smile. He noticed I was staring at him and grinned cunningly. I responded with a shudder and followed the attendants and maids. They were about to welcome me until I rose my hand to stop them.

"Don't bother just lead me to my room," I demanded. They bowed and a maid ushered me inside.

She constantly had to try to break the silence something like... Pointing out the obvious, how was the flight, and the weather.

"Look, do not speak to me. I asked you to lead me to my room, not to have a conversation," I sneered. She cautiously nodded.

She paused in front of a door, stepped out the way with her head down, and stretched out her hand. I held the handle and shoved the door open. After slamming the door I admired the room for a second and did a flop on my new bed. The echo of the gunshot began to torture all of my beloved memories. I clutched onto a pillow and flipped over. I sighed deeply staring at the ceiling. A knock was at the door and a voice somewhat muffled over it.

"Ms. Mano? You start school tomorrow morning so please do not stay up all night," Our butler reminded.

I didn't reply I just got up and knocked on the door twice as my answer. I dragged myself to the window and sat behind the curtains. I watched my brothers laugh and horseplay.

Look at those idiots, reminds me when we all used to play...

A small smile plastered across my face. One of them looked up at my window and was shocked to see me. He waved and gave a wide smile. The warm movement brought me to wave back until I saw the other one look at me with menacing eyes.

"Watch your back..."

Shivers went up to my spine as my smile dropped. I immediately left the window and rushed to the bathroom. My breathing began going inside out and as I was knocking down everything in my path searching for my pills. I threw boxes on the floor, the ringing of glasses shattering across the ground. Opening the medicine cabinet to nothing, the shelves to nothing, nor does the closet hides any. I dug my nails into my head, begging for those noises in my head to end.

No. No no no... Okay. Calm down. Calm...

"PROMISE ME!"

"TELL ME!"

"It's all for you!"

"Some things aren't meant to share."

"Protect him."

"I won't let you down."

"Take cover!!!"

"Put down the gun, son!"

My vision was circling, making me dizzy. My ears gave an aching high pitch screech, then I saw him. I screamed at the top of my lungs. It's just a hallucination... wait... Suddenly my vision got hazy and my eyes shut.

"You'll see why..."
