After a nice walk home, Yuri and Natsuki did all their homework at a fast pace thanks to Yuris intligance and decided to spend the rest of the afternoon watching TV and relaxing.

After around an hour of this Yuri felt her phone vibrate, meaning she was getting a call. When Yuri saw the called ID, she felt as if all her happyness built up to this moment was completely flooded with fear.

"Let me guess, it's Kate?" Sighed Natsuki.

"Yeah, if I don't answer it now she'll kill me." Sighed Yuri answering the call.

"H-Hey Kate" said Yuri trying to act happy.

"YURI YOU NEED TO GET BACK NOW! MUM AND DAD ARE COMING HOME TODAY!!" Screamed Kate from the other line.

"Wait what?! Why didn't they text or call me?" Asked Yuri, half happy and half sad at the knews.

"How should I know? Just get back here so we can make them something nice to eat when they get back!" Yelled Kate.

"Alright I'll be there shortly." Said Yuri hanging up.

"So you have to go?" Said Natsuki a little sad. Yuri nodded.

"Yeah, my parents are coming home apparently and that is kind of a big deal." Nervously chuckled Yuri as she got all of her bags.

"Want me to walk with you?" Asked Natsuki.

"No, I'll be fine, you've done enough already." Said Yuri putting on her shoes.

"Hug before you go..?" Asked Natsuki blushing a little as she helled her arms out to Yuri.

Yuri looked at her and smiled, putting down her bags before going to hug Natsuki. The lovely warm and comfortable hug was short lived when Yuri pulled away, having to go home. Natsuki watched as Yuri left, getting a bad feeling deep in her gut.

She remembered the time she tried to run away and when her dad couldnt find her he texted Natsuki claiming their her mother had returned and that she wanted to see Natsuki, but it was all a lie to lure Natsuki back into her house.

Boy did she get the beating of her life when she got home.

Natsuki went upstairs and quickly got changed into an oversized black hoodie and blue jeans that she knew made her look like a boy. She didn't have enough time to do her hair so Natsuki just put her hood up before leaving and going after Yuri, not before bringing her pocket knife that she really hoped she wouldn't have to use.

Yuri got to her door and used her keys to get in, placing her bags down at the entrance along with her shoes.

"Hallo? Kate? I'm here, what are we going to do before mum and dad get-" Yuri was cut off, as her hair was harshly pulled by someone from behind, dragging her so she fell on the floor and dragged all the way to the kitchen. Tears began to form in Yuri's eyes as she was forced to stand up by the pull of her hair and then slammed into a wall.

"Took you long enough you little shit." Said Kate no longer holding up her fake smile. Yuri began to panic, Kate hadn't been this violent in a long time, Yuri couldn't help but freeze in fear, feeling like she was locked in that room all over again.

"W-What are you doing Kate?!" Said Yuri trying to shout but it came out as a whimper.

"I know you've been avoiding me and your punishments. I've told you what would happen if you didn't kill yourself by now didn't I?!!" Shouted Kate throwing Yuri onto the floor before harshly digging her foot into Yuri's side.

Yuri was terrified, she didn't even know what to do, apart from hold the side of her body that ached with a horrible pain.

She she could only watch as Kate opened a cubourd and rummaged through it, before pulling out a sharp kitchen knife and Kate threw it on the ground near Yuri's hand. Yuri looked up at her sister with disbelief.

"Go on, do what you do best. Cut your self." Ordered Kate with a dark emotionless expression. Yuri couldn't speak, all she could do was shake her head no.

"Come on now, you know it's the best thing you could ever do for everyone! You are the reason mum and dad never come home and I bet your nothing but a bother to everyone at you school. I mean, how many times have you been bullied? How many times have your so called 'friends' had to bail you out? Why would anyone love you if not even your parents do?" Said Kate, hitting all of Yuri's insecurities, literally stepping over her sister to push her further on the floor with ever word, occasionally kicking her whenever she felt it right.

"Go on, do it. Cut yourself. It's the only thing your good at and the only way to undo the mistake that was your pitiful birth little sister." Said Kate emotionlessly.

With tears streaming down her face, Yuri helled both of her hands over her ears before shaking her head no.

"Still not convinced? Then would you do it if I killed your friends?" Said Kate completely serious.

"I already know where everyone in that little literature club of yours lives. The pink one would be the first to die I think, because not only had she been a real pain in my ass and interfering with our little agreement, but her house will be the easiest to break into and the easiest to burn~." Said Kate now showing a horrible and twisted sadistic smile.

Yuri's eyes widened at the thought, her eyes turning blank and hopeless, nothing but her sisters words repeating themselves over and over again inside her head.

She picked up the knife and rolled up her sleeves, just about to cut herself, when the door bell rang. Snapping Yuri out of her trance. Kate cursed and began to look a little worried. Before Kate could stop her, Yuri shot up from the floor and rushed to answer it, the sudden will to live flooding her every vain. Opening it just in time before Kate could grab her.

To Yuri's hope and joy, there stood Natsuki in all her glory. Yuri began crying uncontrollably as she fell on her knees and hugged her friend as close as she possibly could, resting her head on the pink girls shoulder. Natsuki didn't hesitate to hug her back and soothingly stroke her hands through Yuri's long beautiful hair.

"Hey Yuri, listen to me closely, pack as many bags as you need and get the fuck out of here and I'll never let you come back. It's ok, Kate can't hurt you while I'm here." Said Natsuki patting Yuri's back.

Yuri nodded before she got up and headed upstairs to follow Natsukis instructions. Kate was about to reach and grab Yuri when Natsuki harshly grabbed Kate's wrist stopping her.

"You and me need to have a little chat." Said Natsuki digging into her pocket with her other hand.

"What could me and you possibly have to discuss? Stay out of other family's affairs." Said Kate about to try and walk away before Natsuki pulled out her phone and showed Kate a recording of everything she just said and did to Yuri.

Kate's eyes widened in shock and fear, while Natsuki only smirked, pulling out her pocket knife and showing it to Kate casually as she out her phone away.

"You'll leave Yuri and her friends alone now right~? No more harassment, abuse, threats, stalkerie or attempted murders right~? " Said Natsuki with an innocent smile and tone before sucker punching Kate so hard in the stomach that she doubled over and collapsed on the floor, practically choking on her own vomit.

"And don't even think about getting up." hissed Natsuki with pure hatred, kicking Kate into a wall, before continuously kicking her in the stomach, forcing every ounce of air out of Kate's lungs so she couldn't even breath.

After having kicked Kate the exact amount of times she kicked Yuri, Natsuki stoped and took a few steps back from the shriveled up evil bitch on the floor, crying in a puddle of her own piss and vomit and took several deep breaths to stop herself from killing Kate.

"I texted my friends to call the police and send them here if I didn't text them back in a certain amount of time." Said Natsuki pushing past Kate to sit on one of the sofas waiting for Yuri.

Kate didn't dare move.

"You know, I've had to deal with cunts like you all my life, so to me, your nothing special. Just a sad, depressing, disgusting and disappointing human being. Though since psychos like you always think your somehow better then all the billions of humans on the planet, im not surprised you'd try to kill someone who's better then you in every way, nor am I surprised someone like you would kill over something as petty as jelousy." Said Natsuki shaking her head in disappointment. Kate was beond furious, clenching her fists so tight she might draw blood.

Yuri finally came downstairs holding two huge suit cases filled to the brim with her stuff. Along with a backpack filled will all her school books and supplies. Yuri looked around on edge, wondering what had happened and grew a gig relieved smile at the side of Natsuki, but confusion when she saw Kate on the floor.

Not caring to explain the situation, Natsuki dragged Yuri to the front entrance, made Yuri put on her shoes and jacket before quickly pulling her out of the house.

Natsuki took one of the suit cases from Yuri as they were walking, seeing as how Yuri was struggling to carry both and the back pack.

Yuri the whole time tried her hardest not to cry, sniffing and constantly rubbing her eyes with her free hand to hide the tears. Natsuki wasn't sure what she could say or do, even though she had been in much worse situations, she was completely speechless.

It didn't take long before they reached the house and Natsuki took all the bags and told Yuri to go and sit down, reast.

Yuri did so and sat in the corner of the sofa pulling her legs up so she could hug them and berried her face in her knees, no longer able to hold in her tears.

When Natsuki came back downstairs she instantly moved so she was behind Yuri and leaned over the sofa so she could hug Yuri from behind.

They stayed in that embrace for a long time, losing track of it completely. Yuri helled onto Natsukis arms tightly, crying into them and Natsuki would only hug Yuri tighter, whispering sweet and encouraging things to Yuri.

Natsuki was patient and helled Yuri closely not moving or going anywhere, not even letting her thoughts drift from anything other then Yuri needed her help.

She was surprised when Yuri quickly shot up and turned around, wrapping her arms around Natsukis upper back and berrying her face in Natsukis shoulder.

Natsuki didn't hesitate to stroke one hand through Yuri's long but slightly messy hair and up and down her back to sooth her. However Natsuki accidentally rested her hand on Yuri's injury from the kicking and the poor purple girl hissed and wince in pain, jolting herself out of the warm embrace from instinct and Natsuki quickly retracted her hand.

Both having forgot about it, Yuri slightly lifted her shirt to reveal a forming bruise. Natsuki examined it closely before looking at Yuri's worried face and helled her hand, running her thumb over Yuri's knuckles.

"It's ok Yuri, your going to be ok... I'll go get you some cream, painkillers, bandages and a good ice pack for it ok?" Said Natsuki reassuringly tightening her grip on Yuri's hands.

Yuri in her teary state sniffles before nodding with a small smile, reluctantly letting go of Natsuki so she could go get those things for her. Natsuki smiles and left Yuri for a few minutes, before returning and walking around to face Yuri, placing everything she gathered next to Yuri on the sofa.

Yuri sat back down, facing Natsuki as the smaller girl kneeled in front of her and slightly lifted Yuris shirt and felt around the bruised area, making Yuri wince in pain and irrigation.

"Alright...it's just gunna bruise and from what you've seen I'm kind of an expert." Said Natsuki taking out the cream she had for bruises.

"Ok Yuri, I need you to keep the shirt lifted like this while I add the cream and it may sting or feel really cold so be prepared..." Calmly said Natsuki to Yuri, feeling like she wanted to cry after seeing her beast friend go through the same abuse she went through.

'I wonder if this is how Daisy felt...all those times she patched me up like this...' thought Natsuki while she gently placed the cream on Yuri's skin, apologizing for every wince and shiver Yuri's body provoked.

Soon after bandaging Yuri up and all the tears had run dry, all the emotions having been let out, Natsuki and Yuri sat next to each other on the sofa, plainly looking at their reflections in the turned off TV with their hands helled and fingers intertwined.

They stayed like that in a comfortable silence, just enjoying the comfort of not being alone while both letting their minds and bodies catching up with what had just happened and the peaceful but echoing silence was interupted by the growling of Yuri's stomach.

With a still plain and calm expression Yuri placed her free hand on her stomach, rubbing it in hopes to stop it's growls but as soon as it did Natsuki began to growl and she was forced to repeate Yuri's actions until the room was silent once again.

But that didn't last long either.

For Natsuki and Yuri burst into a much needed fit of laughter, hunching over and struggling to breath at how funny they found that coincidence.

They managed to calm down after a few minutes, but it didn't stop both of them from giggling and smiling at each other widely.

"Pizza?" Asked Natsuki. Yuri thought about it for a little bit.

"Pizza." Nodded Yuri with a thumbs up of approval. So Natsuki stood up to go get her phone and called the pizza delivery place, Yuri calmly followed, neither of them realising they were still holding hands.

"Yes hi I'd like to order one medium pepperoni pizza aaaaand-" said Natsuki gesturing Yuri to tell her what she wanted. Yuri was too nervous to actually order for herself so she just whispered it in Natsukis ear.

"And a medium margarita please. Thank you bye. They'll be here in half an hour or so, what should we do now?" Said Natsuki hanging up the phone and pitting it down.

"I don't know..." Said Yuri begining to look at nothing, thinking about what happened that night. Natsuki noticed.

"Alright, I'm just gunna say what we are all thinking." Sighed Natsuki, holding Yuri's hand tighter to make sure she snapped out of her gaze. Yuri looked at her with confusion, slightly tilting her head.

"Your sisters a bitch that can go burn in hell and you have a right to be upset and feel everything your feeling. This shits traumatic." Said Natsuki putting her free hand on her hip. Yuri was a little shocked but now more then ever did she need Natsukis bluntness, in fact it was almost comforting.

"You don't think its all because of me? And being too weak?" Asked Yuri as quiet as a mouse, now finding her feet very interesting and refusing to look away from them.

"Don't be dumb. Of course it's not your fault. Give me one reason or evidence to support such a claim." Ordered Natsuki, gently leading Yuri back to the sofa, sitting them both down with their hands still together.

Just as Yuri was about to say it's because she's weak, Natsuki interupted.

"And don't do dare say its because your weak. If you say it I swear to the all mighty Slyther the sky dragon, I will cancel your order of pizza." Stated Natsuki. Yuris' eyes widened.

"You can't use one of the three legendary Egyptian god cards against me! That's not fair!" Wined Yuri, her eyes widening and quickly covering her mouth with her free hand and looking away with a hard embarrassed blush.

Natsukis eyes widened and she burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

"Once again! Haha!! Y-Your prove your a fucking weeb!" Laughed Natsuki, grabbing her stomach in pain.

"I'm not a weeb!" Defended Yuri.

"Well normies people don't know anything about Yuh-Gi-Oh now do they!?!!" Laughed Natsuki. Yuri blushed at that.

"For the last time I'm not a weeb! My brother is! Not me!" Yelled Yuri.

"Hehe, sure, whatever you say..." Smiled Natsuki, with am evil grin.

"Thank you!" Huffed Yuri, still not facing Natsuki so she didn't see her eyes roll.

"*Cough*closet weeb!*cough*" said Natsuki. Yuri raised am eyebrow.

"What was that?" Asked Yuri raising an eyebrow and facing Natsuki.

"Oh nothing, I think I might be coming down with something." smirked Natsuki.

"Natsuki you literally just said the word cough." Said Yuri.

"Your point being?" Said Natsuki. Now it was Yuris turn rolled her eyes. They had a glare off before both sighing and deciding to begin watching a movie, there hands still together and half way through Yuri thought of something that made her blush.

"...Hey Natsuki?" Hesitantly asked Yuri.

"What's up Yuri?" Said Natsuki pausing the movie to turn her full attention to Yuri.

"W-Why did you hug me..?" Almost whispered Yuri, bright red just thinking about it, making sure to look down to turn her hair into a Vail.

Natsukis blushed turned a small pail pink and she scratched the back of her head.

"Uumm, W-Well...I-I g-guess I, just did what I'd want someone to do to me in that situation? I think? I-I don't know." Stuttered Natsuki very nervous.

"T-Thank you Natsuki, I needed it." Smiled Yuri hoping she'd hug her more in the future. Natsuki smiled back.

"So, wanna carry on watching the movie until the pizza gets here?" Asked Natsuki. Yuri happily agreed.

Soon after several minutes of piece and silence when Natsuki heard a knock at the door, she looked at the time and guessed it must have been the pizza delivery guy.

She started to get up to go to the door to answer, however neither her or Yuri remembered they were tightly using hands, Yuri was too endorsed in the movie to even realise someone knocked on the door.

So it resulted in Natsuki suddenly feeling a tug pulling her back and Yuri feeling a surprise tug pulling her forward. When they both turned to see what has caused it, their eyes landed on their intertwined hands.

They stayed like, looking at their hands neither of them remember how that happened and soon made eye contact with their confused and flustered faces until a second knock was heard at the door and Natsuki quickly leg go of Yuri and ran to answering it, getting their food.

Natsuki places Yuri's pizza box on her lap and sat next to her again, not daring to make eye contact and dug into her meal, Yuri however did not feel the same way and went straight to the interrogation.

"Natsuki...how...when did we start holding hands??" Said Yuri dumbfounded as she took a bite of her first pizza slice. Natsuki gulped down her food slightly choking on it out of surprise.

"H-How the fuck should I know?!?" Shouted Natsuki before stuffing her face with pizza.

Yuri smiled at the sight, starting to get used to a bit angry Natsuki even more.

They continued to eat in a pieceful silence as they stuffed their faces and were completely entranced by the amazing movie in front of them.

They did the dishes after finishing their dinner and the movie and made their ways upstairs to go to bed, but Natsuki couldn't help but think about Yuri and how fucked up both their families were.

'guess were not exactly polar opposites...' thought Natsuki with a small sad smile and big sigh.
