It has been far too long and I apologize. I have no excuse other then 2020-2021... forgive me?




Ren huffs as she sits in her classroom. She had been served this morning. It would seem that her bastard parents had pulled a few strings. They were fighting for custody of Hisoka and Koran.

It didn't help that news had gotten out that CPS had been called on the Yagi family. Rumors were spreading like wildfire. Everyone was trying to find out the truth while making conclusions that had no weight behind them.

"Ren?" Shouta calls as he stands in the doorway. He had just read some of the articles. Well, Hizashi had shoves his phone in his face and demanded he read them.

"Hmm?" Ren turns to the doorway and raises an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Don't worry. Everything will turn out okay. I promise." He moves into the room and sits in the chair closest to her. "I won't let them ruin your life again."

Ren smiles sadly and wipes her eyes as her tears threaten to spill. "That's the thing isn't it... no one can stop what they've started. People are losing faith in me. Everyone believes that I'm a bad parent. That I've somehow brainwashed my children into pretending everything is okay when it's not. They all believe I would hurt my children. They don't understand that my children are the most important thing in my life. That I would do anything for them."

Ren takes a shaky breath. "This will follow me and my children around for the rest of our lives. People will always second guess every decision I make. Every move I make. My children will be looked down on. People will wonder if they're abusive to the ones they love. They will make conclusions before knowing all of the facts or even the truth." By this point her tears are like a never ending river.

"That's not-" Shouta goes to disagree but is cut off by the distraught mother.

"Don't say it's not true." She all but snaps as she stands. "You know nothing about it. You know nothing about losing a child. Being betrayed. Being beaten down so many times that you lose the will to stop fighting. You know nothing." With that she leaves her brother behind to find a quiet place to burry herself in her pity and pain.

Ren sits atop the school looking down at all of the children as they leave. She didn't know how much longer she could fight. She had been fighting for as long as she could remember. There wasn't a time in her life that she wasn't fighting for something or against something.

Ren tilts her head towards the  dark gray sky. Any second now it would start to pour down rain with how dark the clouds were. It was fitting in rens opinion. The sky matched her mood.

"Please... I can't... I can't do this anymore. I can't keep fighting.. I've had enough..." She begged for the gods to hear her. She needed someone to hear her and see that she was beyond broken, beyond done.

"I've given everything I have. I have put my pain and anger into making this world a better place. I've given everything I have to give, and all I am asking is that you done take my kids from me." She stands as the rain starts.

"Please.." she begs quietly as her eyes close. The water quickly soaks her to the bone.

Ren sits in the courtroom, her children all in school or with their father. If she didn't get everything dismissed today then it would go to trial. She didn't want to put her kids through that.

"Tell me, miss Yagi, why I should t just sigh your kids over to your parents." The judge, an older man, asked as he leaned forward. They had been going back and forth for so long that it was obvious he wanted to be done for the day.

"There are a million reasons. But I'll start with the biggest. They sold their only daughter because they believed I was quirkless. They told everyone I was dead. They didn't want me. So why should they have anything to do with my children?" Ren clenches her hands behind her back. They are not good people. Not people I want around my children-"

"I've heard this all, already. I've also hear all about how you abuse you children." He cuts in and tries to beat her down.

"I am many things. Not all of them good, I know this. But I also know I am a good mother. I have never abused my children, not in any way. Everything I do, I do for them!"

"Watch your tone girl!" The judge growls after he slams his gavel down to cut her off. "I will not be disrespected in my own court."

"You see what she's like." Her mother speaks up. "This is how she talks to her kids. I fear for their safety."

"I can see now why you would feel that way." The judge agrees.

"You're joking." Ren whispers as she sees the man decide her fate.

"I do not joke, miss Yagi. Based on what I have seen today there will be a trial. Your kids will be removed for the home, or you will have to leave. You are not to speak to them until after the trial."

Ren sucks in a breath, eyes wide. "Please, don't do this." She steps towards him.

"The decision has been made." He slams his gavel down.
