Kura's P.O.V
I lay down on my "bed", which was really just a bunch of blankets on the floor, and tried to get comfortable. It was hard to do with the chain digging into my ankle.
I sighed as I heard my mother and father screaming at each other once more. "ITS ALL HER FAULT KENJI!" My mother, Akari screamed. "DONT YOU THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED!" My father, Kenji screamed back.
I heard a small knock at the door. 'It must be another guy mother and father brought home. Another client I guess.' I thought. I went to sit up but froze when I heard mother scream.
I heard footsteps running towards my "room" and the door opened. Father stood there panting and sweating. "Kura!" He said running over.
He pulled pen and held it out to me. "Listen closely. This pen is very special, so don't loose it! See this button? Press it and turned into a dagger, but if you press it twice it'll become a scythe." He said.
I tilted my head at him, wondering what was going on. He handed me the pen and ran out of the room. I heard the back door slam shut. After a minute or two I heard a car engine.
My eyes widened as I realized he was leaving me here. I looked down, my bangs covering my eyes. 'That bastard left me here!' I thought in rage.
I heard footsteps heading toward my "room" again. I look at the door as it swung open. A man stood there. He had black hair and he had a cross tattooed on his forehead. I smiled at him softly.
"Are you here to save me?" I asked softly and weakly. His eyes widened at my pitiful state. I stood up and tried to walk over to him but I fell to the ground. I looked back at the chain and realized I couldn't go any further.
I looked back at the man. "This is as far as I can go." I mumbled. He walked over to me and broke the chain. My eyes widened. 'He broke it! He actually broke it!' I thought as tears of joy filled my eyes.
I stood up and smiled at the man. "I'm Kura Shi Oni." I said in a low whisper. He smiled. "I'm Chrollo. Nice to meet you Kura." He said. I nodded. I followed him outside to see 11 other people. I narrowed my eyes at them.
I glanced up at Chrollo with a raised eyebrow. "Everyone this is Kura. Kura this is the Phantom Troupe." He said. My eyes widened slightly.
'The Phantom Troupe!?! Aw shit! I'm screwed!' I thought. I nodded at them and pulled my mask up at bit in embarrassment. My long black hair dangled in front of my right eye. I look up to realize Chrollo walking towards them.
I quickly followed, not wanting to be left behind. Everyone but Chrollo stared at me. I glared at them. Everyone looked away but one. He was a short man with black hair and grey eyes, he has a mask like mine as well.
I glanced at him and smiled a little bit under my mask. Chrollo softly patted my head. I looked up and him in confusion. "That's Feitan." He said pointing at the very short man. "He looks more like a Shi Oni. Like me." I said softly. My voice was slightly broken from not talking in 10 years. I was 14 now.
Feitan looked at me and narrowed his eyes. "Your name is Kura Shi Oni?" He asked. I nodded. I walked over to him. I glanced at him and sighed. "I want to tell you something but I'm still debating if I should." I said. He gave me a "tell me" look and I sighed.
"My name is Kura Shi Oni. My parents are Akari and Kenji Oni. I didn't have a good childhood. Well I had a good one, until I turned 4. My father got drunk one night and he started beating me for the first time. But he wasn't really drunk. He was sober. And mother came in. She started screaming at him. Telling him to stop and that I'm just a little girl. My mother joined my father two years after. When I was 7 I had my own room again, but I didn't have anything but a few blankets on the floor. And a chain. My father locked me in that room forever, until Chrollo saved me. And I couldn't eat for several days. They only fed me once a week." I said softly as tears ran down my face.
Some of the members had tears in their eyes after hearing my story. A big guy picked me up and put me on his shoulder. "I'm Uvogin. But everyone calls me Uvo!" He said laughing. A lone tear fell down his cheek.
"Why are you crying?" I asked as I wiped away the tear. He smiled at me. "You has a rough past going up kid. It hard to believe that someone would do that to their own child." A blonde man with no eyebrows said.
I glared down at him. "I'm not their child." I hissed. "Leave her alone about it Phinks." A pink haired girl said. "Whatever Machi." Phinks said. I giggled slightly at the sight. "I so ship it." I whisper in Uvo's ear. He looked up at me and nodded in agreement.
Uvo and Feitan are my favorites. They seem to understand me. I jumped down from Uvo's shoulder and ran up to Feitan. "Fei!" I said. He looked at me and patted my head. "How come she gets to call you Fei!?!" Phinks said. "Cause Im a girl and I actually have eyebrows!" I said smirking at him.
Phinks glared at me and raised his fist. "Say that again." He growled. "Cause I'm a girl and at least I have eyebrows." I said. He aimed a punch towards my face but I dodged it. "Is that it? Pathetic." I said rolling my eyes.
Phinks narrowed his eyes at me. I smirked and punch him straight in the balls. He fell to the ground in pain. "Beaten by a 14 year old. How sad and pathetic is that." I spat. I high-fived a Samurai looking dude. "Names Nobunaga kid." He said laughing.
I nodded at him. "That's Shalnark, Shizuku, Franklin, Hisoka, Bonolenov, Kortopi, and Pakunoda." He said pointing at them. I nodded at them. I glared slightly at Hisoka. I didn't trust him. At all.
I walked side by side with Feitan. "Fei? Where are we going?" I asked. He looked down at me, I'm smaller by a few inches. "Home." He said. My eyes widened. I looked down. 'Home...' I thought.
I smiled slightly. "Home..." I said softly. I thought about it and a tear rolled down my face. "Like a real home or..." I asked. "A real one." Shalnark said. I smiled with excitement. We continued walking for miles. Until we reached an old church. "Welcome home, Kura." Feitan said.
