Rebellious Path

In my life, I felt that I was only loved by none other than my sisters, my mother, and my childhood friend. I always had been beaten up by the other students, calling me a pricky ugly little bitch. I was bullied here and there, heck; even my father tried to kill me.

I never understood why they did this to me; why they treated me like this. They're sc.u.m, the whole system of humanity is sc.u.m, people are sc.u.m, everyone is sc.u.m. It's as if the world was made for sc.u.m to live in and the beings that live on this planet are far worse than demons could ever get. I never wanted this life, but why did that so-called god give me this f.u.c.k.i.n.g life!

As I woke from my slumber, I looked at myself in the mirror. My black hair, with a lot of strands of white, is dishevelled. I may have moved around a bit too much whilst sleeping. I have dark-brown eyes that barely even looked brown; it just looks black.

I proceeded to look at my ruined face. My eyes couldn't help but be driven with pure anguish as I saw the various scars covering me. My eye was encompassed with a purplish hue and had a slight bump. Just then, I remembered what had happened; I was beaten up yesterday.

Without saying anything, I just gritted my teeth as I walked out of my room only to meet my bastard d.i.c.k father. I just gritted my teeth as I tried to walk past him, but then, he grabbed me by the shoulder, pulling me and made me look directly at his face.

"Hey! you f.u.c.k.i.n.g d.i.c.k-head, how many times have I told you to f.u.c.k.i.n.g respect me!", shouting out loud, he punched me in the face creating a red bump it. Slight blood leaked from my mouth whilst I fell onto the ground, feeling pain all over my body.

Without doing anything else, I then said with pure anger in my eyes as I looked up at him, "I'm sorry dad, I'm an insolent brat who never knows how to respect anyone, please forgive me."

My father was not pleased with me. With that said, he stomped on my face and shouted loudly, "F.u.c.k.i.n.g d.i.c.k-heads should kneel and never look at me, or I'll f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you."

I didn't even talk back as I kneeled and bowed my head that reached the floor, I as if kowtowed in front of him. If I were only stronger and could help support my sister and mother, I wouldn't have done this. I then said with a trace of anger in my voice, in which he didn't notice, "I'm sorry dad."

My father then stepped on my head one more time whilst smiling widely, "That's good; that's good." He left with apparent mockery surging from his eyes, the gateway to the soul. I only felt anger rising up. I could barely stand up at the moment as I tried to walk whilst limping towards the bathroom.

Tears started to well up in my eyes. I cried with anger in my heart, blaming the gods of the curse that had befallen before me. I rinsed my body with the water, dripping from the shower whilst I punched the wall in front of me. I then, without thinking, mindlessly said, "Why do I have to live this life? If there is a god out there, why did you make me, only to suffer?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't have any appetite at the moment, so I decided to skip a meal. It's as if I started to hate eating just because of the people who choose to bully others without any f.u.c.k.i.n.g reason except to satisfy their sadistic d.e.s.i.r.es.

I walked up to my room, slightly afraid to see my father. I am weak; in this world, the strong suppress the weak. We are no different from the jungle; if you have power, you are stronger than anyone.

Changing my clothes to my uniform, I looked up to the mirror again, seeing my face which wasn't overly ugly, but it's indeed below average. My heart quenched. It was due to the reason that if I'm getting this bullied and beaten up just because I'm below average; how about those people that are really ugly?

I placed a bandage on my wound as I walked out of the room. Just as I was about to leave, someone called me, "Riku! Please wait!", I proceeded to look back and saw my loving mother, rushing towards me.

She ran up to me only to kiss my cheek, which I utterly appreciated. I then looked at her worried expression as she saw my beat-up face. Her brown hair waved lightly as she stared at me with her violet-coloured eyes. "Did your father do this?"

I didn't even talk back; I just looked sideways as I gritted my teeth and tears started to form on my eyes. My father wasn't like this when I was still young; he even protected me every time, but now... Now...

My mom could only hug me tightly whilst my little sister came out from her room and saw me. Her hazel eyes were also filled with tears. My father hadn't spared my sisters to the beatings; in fact, he beats them up altogether. (Just why…?), I questioned myself.

She then ran up to me and hugged me as well whilst subtly sobbing in my arms. "Nii-san", she then clenched her first along with my clothes as she cried. My mother then hugged both of us tightly as she gritted her teeth while looking towards the room her husband slept in.

I patted my little sister's head and dishevelled her brown hair whilst smiling as I said, "It's gonna be alright. I'll protect you from him." I then looked at my mom whilst asking, "Where's nee-san?"

My mom had a dejected look on her face as I mentioned my elder sister. She then said, "She couldn't handle it, she left. She was still injured too. She's reckless!", I then embraced my mom tightly and kissed her cheek, "I'll find her, don't worry, if I have enough money, I'll take you guys out of here."

I tried reporting my father to the police before, but, the so-called "lawful" people won't even touch him just because of his previous status when he was a soldier. Indeed an unfair treatment, right? Just because of his high rank, and possibly his association with a couple of generals, he gets his freedom anywhere he goes.

I left the room as I gave a peck to both my little sister's and mom's cheeks as we heard a shout coming from the place my mom looked at earlier. "Reika! Come here now!"

My mom could only bite her lip, causing it to bleed as she walked towards the room. I patted my little sister's head once more as I said, "Hina-chan, I'll go now, go to school later, ok?"

Hina, my sister, just nodded her head as I walked out of the house. She stared at my back as if wanting to feel my warmth again. She extended her hand just to pull it back as she went inside the house.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As I walked into the gate of the school, I was met by gazes and glares filled with disgust. Why did they have to treat me like this?

Without saying anything else, I just walked at the sidelines, afraid to be stared at by the people. Then, someone grabbed my arm. I was scared at that time. But then as I saw the face of who held me, I couldn't help but smile happily seeing an overly familiar face. It was my childhood friend, who never turned on me like the others. She treated me to everything; she actually cared about me.

She then smiled at me with her ice-blue eyes as her silver hair waved. As she saw my dishonourable appearance, she said, "Did your father beat you up again?", I just nodded at her question as I continued to walk.

In this world, the girl beside me is considered a beauty. Her name was Ruri; she is a caring girl. She never got close to anyone other than me and some few other people who turned their back on me. Just because Ruri was close to me, they didn't even consider her a friend.

I just smiled bitterly at this thought as I walked up to the classroom only to be met angry glares. Whilst walking inside, I felt a slap hitting my face. It was one of the guys who are one of the extremist simps of Ruri.

He then looked at me and said, "Hey ugly bitch, why are you standing so close to Ruri-sama, she must be disgusted by you!", at that time, Ruri's eyes darkened as she slapped the guy whilst speaking harshly, "You have no right to call my dear friend an ugly bitch! You have no right to call him disgusting! Take a look at yourselves in the mirror! Just because you were blessed with that appearance doesn't make you an all-so powerful god!"

My heart fluttered slightly seeing that Ruri defended me. With that, I clenched my hand into a fist and sighed lightly as I said, "Thank you, Ruri-san, thank you for defending me." I then walked towards my seat and sat down.

The class started, yet it ended so quickly as if it was only a second. I then walked out of the class whilst saying goodbye to Ruri. Trying to avoid everyone, I quickly ran towards the gates, but then I was pulled by someone and was directly punched on the face.

I looked at the guy who did it and noticed, (It's the guy from earlier), he gritted his teeth whilst looking at me and shouted loudly, "You bastard! Why does Ruri-san consider a chicken and an ugly bastard like you as a friend! I'll beat you up!"

He punched me, kicked me, hit my balls, and broke my arm. I had tears stuck in my eyes, but I didn't shout, I only held my voice. I was breathing raggedly and looked at the guy angrily. He was smirking… the bastard was smirking seeing my state. This burnt my last fuse as I could barely stand up and punched him using my other arm in the face and kicked him in the balls too.

I then ran immediately whilst limping slightly to the outside the gates. But never did I know that my sister was there getting chased by two older men and a young guy. They grabbed her to an alleyway forcefully as they said, "Hello there, nee-chan, why don't you let us play with you? Have some fun, you know? hehehe."

I might be afraid of things, but I would never chicken out if my family were involved. I immediately grabbed a pipe that was lying on the ground and hit the guys in the heads, causing them to get knocked out. It was like the injuries disappeared for a split second due to the adrenaline that was coursing through my body, and I didn't feel pain. Unfortunately, it didn't last because as soon as I was finished, it came knocking back at me, causing me to fall down on the ground while twitching.

My sister, who saw me, immediately stood up and ran towards me and shouted, "Riku-kun! Are you alright, Riku-kun!", seeing that I was unconscious, she grabbed me and carried me towards the house.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as we arrived, it was already night. My mother quickly opened the door with a scratch, clearly shown on her face. Seeing the state I was in, she embraced my sister and me as she said, "Riku! Aoi!"

She immediately carried me to the house, including my sister, and immediately dressed up my wounds and bandaged them. She also addressed my broken arm and made a cast using bandages. Just at that time, I heard a slap. I then forcefully opened my eyes and saw my father slapping my elder sister repeatedly as he shouted, "You bitch! You go out for no reason! You come back after! F.u.c.k you! You are no longer part of this family you s.l.u.t!"

My elder sister then did one thing I could never do, slap my father. She then shouted, "F.u.c.k your family! F.u.c.k you and your shitty f.u.c.k.i.n.g face! I never wanted to be your f.u.c.k.i.n.g daughter! I never wanted to be your f.u.c.k.i.n.g family! I'm leaving, and you should go f.u.c.k.i.n.g die!"

Just as my father heard what she said, he punched my sister in the face as he shouted, "Then f.u.c.k.i.n.g GET OUT!", even I couldn't handle it anymore. I was already burnt out, so I punched my father in the nose using my arm that wasn't particularly broken, causing it to bleed, "I will leave too, including my sister and mother, f.u.c.k you, you bastard!"

I then grabbed my mother and knocked on the door of my little sister and shouted, "We're leaving!", my father was so mad that he exclaimed, "No f.u.c.k! You can't leave this place! I am the father! And YOU obey ME!"

I then shouted as well, "NO SHIT! I WILL FOLLOW MY RULES, AND YOU CAN DO NO SHIT ABOUT IT!", Just as my sister, Hina, walked out, I grabbed her including my mother, and walked out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Riku, I have a small apartment, we should stay there", Aoi then said, and I just smiled at her and said, "Sure! Let's go there!", we then followed Aoi towards an old apartment. It was run-down, to be honest, but it is still livable.

We then walked inside the apartment and inside, was rather dirty, but a little cleaning could fix it. I then smiled bitterly at this sight as I said with a solemn expression this time, "Mom, Aoi-nee, Hina-chan, I'm gonna go to another city."

They were indeed shocked at what I said as my mother asked, "Why? We could stay here and—", but I cut her off in the middle as I said, "Mom, I will find a job, I will make sure to return every week okay? I am planning to go now, but... We forgot to bring our clothes..."

As I said that, my mom noticed as she said with an awkward voice, "Y-yeah, we did forget about it, but my friends should have clothes fitting for all of the girls! Y-yeah! But you, on the other hand..."

I just shrugged and said, "Don't worry about me, it's alright after I get my job, I could buy clothes, but...", I then looked down and saw that I was wearing my uniform, "Yeah, I can't go out wearing these."

Just at that time, Hina pointed her finger up to her chin as she suddenly remembered something and excitedly told me, "Nii-chan! I have your clothes here!", I looked at her whilst she grabbed her bag that I didn't notice during the way. After that, she showed me a set of clothes, and as you may have guessed, it was my clothes.

I couldn't help but weirdly asked, "Uh... umm... why do you have my clothes, Hina?", I looked at Hina who was just giggling as she said, "I love nii-san after all!", she then hugged me so suddenly that I caused me to be surprised.

I then patted her head whilst grabbing the clothes that Hina presented and said, "Be careful! And don't ever get close to him again, I'll be back as fast as I can" After saying so, they all nodded their heads. They had a bit of a sentimental feeling looking at me as I was about to leave.

I was touched, to be honest, and I, at that time, kissed all of them in the cheeks as I embraced them all while saying with my voice full of love, "I love you all! And I will always love you!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I grabbed my phone whilst riding the train to find a source of entertainment. After all, I need any kind of entertainment to clear my mind out of the problems I faced. But before I could see movies, I decided to watch the news I found interesting.

'Meteorites kept falling and falling, causing cities to get destroyed! is this really the end of the world!?'

'Various deaths have been found due to meteorites fallin—'

'The meteorites that fell are filled with radiation causing people to have a genetic mutation! New race confirmed?"

I turned his phone off as I murmured with pure annoyance in my voice, "This is clearly bullshit, what do they think of this world? An anime? A movie? geh, they even said clear crappy bullshit by saying radiation, he genetic mutation, but... The meteorites, They might be real, and it can be hazardous..."

I then walked out of the train as it arrived at my destination. It was nice to take a breath of fresh air. I proceeded to grab my phone and contacted Aoi, the only person that had a phone since my mom and Hina couldn't bring one due to rushing out.

"Hello? Riku!" I heard the voice of my sisters and my mom that made my heart warm up. I showed a wide smile as I responded, "Mom! Hina! Aoi-nee! I arri-", but what happened next, was a thing I never expected to happen.

A meteorite fell from the sky directly unto me, and I didn't expect it. I was feeling pain all over as my body was crushed, and the call was ended. My mom and sisters then shouted in great worry as they had a bad premonition, "RIKU!"

Even Ruri, who was far away, had a premonition so bad, she couldn't help but look towards a particular direction as she murmured, "Riku...!"
