The Going Life

Chapter 17

Kana's POV

  As we reach the station, I can feel the butterflies in my stomach flutter around. "S-sting? My tummy hurts..." I looked up at him to see the look of fear take over his face, the same with rouge. "Sting..? What's wrong..? Is there a monter!?" He shook his head. " N-no...t-transportation...! " as the train arrived, we stepped in and took out seats in the very back. I looked out the window to only see the one thing I dreaded the most...my father...he was getting on the train with us with...some other woman? She looks nothing like mother... I thought to myself.

  "Sting..? Did you pack a jacket..?" He nodded and grabbed it from his bag. " Yea...you cold? " I nodded slightly. "Yea...it gets kinda chilly in here kana." Rouge said. Sting handed my the oversized jacket and I quickly put it on as father walked up to us. I zipped it up and put the hood on, tucking my legs inside of it. "Jeez kana-chan...didn't know you were that cold..." Lector said sarcastically. I looked at him and shook my head violently, covering my mouth with one finger as tears filled my eyes. "Oh...did I say something wrong? I-im sorry..." He said, looking down at the floor. I quickly hugged him, making him feel better. "Its ok, just don't say my name, my dad is in the same train as us...ok?" I whispered to him. He nodded and passed the word on to everyone else.

  As the train started to move, sting and rouge fell to the ground and was holding on to their stomachs. "S-stupid...m-motion s-sickness...!" Sting said. Rouge was too busy trying to hold on his puke to even reply. Sting held his hand up like a dramatic scene and curled his hand into a fist, dropping it back down towards him. "H-help...m-me..." Sting silently whispered. "Sting...do you need water..?" I silently said, not wanting my voice to be heard. He nodded and I searched his back to see if he packed water. "You didn't even pack water..." I said to myself silently.

  "Excuse me? Um...I couldn't help but notice that your struggling for water...I packed a few bottles and some snacks." A oh so familiar voice said. F-Father!? Please don't look at me!  I mentally screamed. He placed three bottles of water on the table in front of me and three large bags of pretzels. "I think this should keep you all good for the ride!" He said cheerfully. Why are you acting this way!? You never did with me around! I bet once I show my face you'll go back to your abusive ways!  I teared up. Rage, fear, and sadness. Those emotions surrounded my head.

  "Hey...little girl? What's your name?" Crap! I'm done for! Quick! Come up with a name! A name that sounds believable!  I griped onto the jacket and quietly said, "Ch-chi-ho...Chi-ho...Eucliff..." I said, In a fake, high pitched voice. " Oh...well nice to meet you chi-ho! I'm Akuno Mak, a father of six, three sons and three daughters. Though...one of them died...her name was Kana Mak, she was a special child and got special treatment. I guess she just couldn't take it and just...killed herself... " he grabbed a cloth from his pocket and dabbed the tears away from his eyes.  Those are fake tears and you know it! Just stop it already!  "Anywho...tell me a little about yourself! I would love to hear it, chi-ho!" He smiled, that stupid, ugly, fake smile. It was disgusting to even look at.

  "Well...!!" As the train came to a stop, sting and rouge collected themselves and got up. "Well, let's get going!" Sting grabbed his stuff the I stood up. As I stood up, I hit my knee on the table and then screamed out in pain. My hood came flying down as i swung my head back, screaming out again. "K-kana!" Both sting and rouge shouted as I fell to the floor, holding my knee.

  " Kana!? That was you the entire time!?" father yelled, clearly angry. "I can't believe this! You little shit!" He reached down and grabbed my arm, pulling me up. "Sting! Help! Rouge! Mr. Midnight! Frosch! Lector! Help!" Before they could grab me, my dad grabbed the back of my head and slammed the front down on the table, knocking me out cold.

Time skip

  After a while, I woke up to hear yelling and screaming. "You basterds! that's my daughter!" My father yelled. I looked around and all I saw was a blur. Only flashes of light and darkness were really visible, nothing else. "S-sting...r-rouge..." I quietly said, a tear escaping from my eye. Soon enough, both of them came over, someone dragging my father away. "Kana! Are you ok!?" Everyone said. " I-i think... " my vision came back and say up. "Ow! My head!" Sting gently laid my back down on the bed. He hugged me and...started to cry? "Sting..? Are you ok?" Rouge laid his hand on my head and smiled lightly. "Kana, we thought he killed you...your head was covered in blood when we finally took care of him...we got off the train with your father and reported him to the police...turns out he was looking for you so thats why he brought snacks and water. He was planning on getting rid of the snacks so you would starve. But since we took care of him you don't have to worry." Rouge explained. I smiled and slowly pat stings head. I leaned down and kisses his head. "Sting...please don't cry...see? I'm fine now...you saved me...and that's all that matters...so please...don't cry..." I said in a soft voice. Sting nodded and gently hugged me.

  " So...what are we gonna do about the job? " I commented. Rouge nodded and crosses his arms. "I contacted them and told them an accident happened. They said once we got there they would provide medical care your your injuries and rooms. We all have to spend the night there so this is gonna be a chance to look around the town stores." I smiled and nodded, giggling a little. "Ok then, well, should we go?" I asked. " can you stand up? Or does Midnight need to carry you? " sting asked. "I think I can walk." I replied. "Ok then, let's go!" I stood up and held on to their hands as we walked with our stuff.
