Chapter 6 Them

Normal POV

"Them?" said Kou. "What the heck do you mean?"

Akira just looked at him. Quickly he wrote something on the white board. A long word no a sentence. It read:

SMILES are deceiving

"What does that mean?" Kou screamed.

"Uncle is there people that are always smiling around Akira?" Haruka questioned.

Everyone stares at him. And Akira smirks, the first hint of expression he showed since they came. They all turn there heads at Akira's Uncle. "Yes there is two people." He signs heavily.

"Who?" Everyone asks.

Then there is a knock on the front door. Akira's Uncle shouts up "Akira it is your parents."

Akira looks towards where the door is. He looks scared. Akira writes one word on the board.

Aya's POV

Akira stares at us untill we hide. Me and Haruka dive into a closet. Kou hides under a desk. And Kengo being the idiot he is hides in a plant. Akira stays there in the middle of the room. Eyes glaring into the hallway that his parents would soon come through. His muscles are tense ready to spring at moments notice. But why did he say hide? It is just his parents right? Some footsteps are heard right down the hall. And we see his parents, I think. The women has a scarlet dress on with a big red purse in hand. The Father is more casual dressed he has on a tee shirt and pants. My gaze heads to Akira. He is not as tense but he still looks nervous. And still ready to spring.

"Oh Akira, this is where you have been. You naughty boy." The women speaks. Naughty? She grabs Akira's cheeks and stretches them out a bit.

Yet Akira face shows no emotion. Just none. But his eyes are different. They show something. Fear?

"Say something dammit!" She screams. I watch as the father just sits back in the corner. "You rotten boy."

She swings her purse right at his head. Akira makes no movement to duck. As the purse collides on his head a shattering sound is heard. CRACK! A liquid starts to seep out her purse. A look at Akira. He has not moved. But a river of blood is running down his head. I try to get out of the closet but Haruka pulls me back. He points at Akira's uncle. His uncle has a taser in his handin case anything should happen the would in danger Akira.

The women opens her purse and pulls out what appears to be a broken beer bottle.

"You naughty little boy. Look what you did. You ruined my purse."

Akira DID? No missy, you mean what you did. I clench my fingers in a tight ball. She picks upher foot that has a big heel on the shoe and rams it into Akira's stomach. I see Akira's face it must have hurt really bad. But Akira just stands there not wanting to to lose this battle.

"Honey, can you take care of this trash for me?" The women asks the husband. He Who has just sat back on the sidelines watching the performance.

The man says nothing. But walks forward with an evil grin creeping on his face.

He looks at Akira and swings a punch at his chest. This time Akira dodges. The man runs at Akira and tries to grab him. But he runs, and the women was right behind him. She grabs him and forces him to the ground. He struggles to get back up.

But The women keep s a firm hold on him. The man starts kicking him in the torso. Akira cries out. Kou, Kengo, Haruka and I all spring out. And rush to help him.

"So Boy you have had people here to help you eh?" The Man speaks.

He stops kicking but grabs onto Akira's throat.

"Take one step and he dies." The Man says.
