~*~*~Chapter 3*~*~*~

//The young brunette sat on a bed as she painted the tips of her nails red. ‘Hmmm. I wonder if my hair will look good like this? I hope Ahiru knows what he's doing.' Ahiru was her boyfriend at the time. They had been friends for a while and they just started going out. Even though they still acted as if they were still friends and not a couple.

She closed the fingernail polish bottle as her nails were finished drying. She rewrapped the bandages that were covering her ankle and wrists from where her mother was trying cut her again. This time she was going for her face but Memiko had covered her face with her arms.

When she was able to find an escape she took off to her room only have her mother throw the knife at her. She remembered the pain as the knife dug into her ankle. She made it to her room only to lock the door, remove the knife and climb out her window to go across the street to where her neighbor and friend was a doctor.

Amai opened the door only to see her good friend in tears and leaving a trail of blood behind her. Amai quickly called for her brother who ran into the room and picked up the bleeding 16 year old and placed her on the couch. After about an hour of screaming, explaining and sewing up her ankle, Memiko was once again carried upstairs to a room that she knew very well.

The room was a light blue that had clouds and animals painted all over the walls. Amai liked to paint in her spare time and she had painted this room for Memi since she over there quite often. Memiko knows that her mother has issues so she knew that she was the one who had to deal with it. So every time her mother freaked out she made her way across the street where Amai and her brother would take care of her.

Memi usually stayed there for a couple of days at a time. Til she knew it was safe to go home. After Memi had placed her nail polish bottle on the table, Maku walked in and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Be careful kiddo. You know you really shouldn't go back home. Stay here with Amai and I. You know we'll take care of you." Amai's older brother said as he sat down on Memi's bed.

Memi shook her head. "I can't. I have to take care of mother. If no one does, who knows what she'll do next. She's my responsibility. I promised father." Maku hugged the fragile girl tightly. "I know you did. But be careful." Maku let go of her and left her room before she could notice he was about to cry. Memi laid her head down as she turned off her light. She cried herself to sleep.

In the morning Memi awoke to the aroma of eggs and bacon frying in the kitchen. She drowsily dragged herself out of bed, showered and got dressed in the clothes that she had there already. She blow-dried her hair and opened her door. Outside was a snow-white kitten they called Freezer.

The kitten meowed at her as she smiled and picked up the purring kitten. Memi trotted down the stairs only to be greeted by Maku who picked her up and swung her around. The kitten meowed in frighted as Memiko screamed. Amai ran into the room and batted her brother on the head.

"Onii-chan! You know not to do that when she's not fully awake yet. Plus you scared Freezer!" Amai scolded as she then smiled and headed back for the kitchen where breakfast was placed on the table. Memiko and Maku looked at each other before he gave her a nuggie and then they walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

Amai placed Memiko's plate of fresh scrambled eggs and bacon down infront of her. As she and Maku sat down to join her, Memi gave Freezer a piece of her egg. Amai kindly reminded her that Freezer wasn't allowed on the table. So Memi just smirked and placed the kitten on her lap and continued eating. Amai glared at the girl then began laughing and Maku also began cracking up.

Later that day Memiko walked out of the beauty salon with red hair dye covering the bottom two inches of her hair. Maku walked out behind her. "Looks good." He commented as they reached the car. "You really think so? I wonder why Ahiru never met me." Memiko said as Maku didn't realize that she was talking to herself.

Just then Ame walked out of a nearby store. Memi felt her glance and glared at her. Ame was always jealous of Memiko because Ame was a bitch to others and because of it, she had no friends. While Memi tried to avoid people and ended up with many friends. Also Ame had short chestnut hair and was over weight.

She and Memiko were once friends until Ame started hanging with the wrong crowd at school and soon she was hitting Memiko for no apparent reason and was being really mean to other people. So Memiko stopped talking to her. And now Ame hated Memiko with passion and was always trying to find ways to destroy her life.

But Memiko just decided to ignore her and get into Maku's car. Since Memiko was wondering why Ahiru wasn't there or answering his cell they decided to stop by his house. But as they were passing Ame, she smiled evilly at Memiko and continued walking. Memiko knew that something was going on so she told Maku to step on it.

By the time she got to Ahiru's house there were ambulances and police cars everywhere. Memiko got out of the car and ran into her boyfriend's house. Some of the police men were trying to hold her back but she wiggled her way through only to see the Ahiru was lying motionless in a pool of blood on the carpet.

The future heir to the underworld sank to the ground as she cried. One of the police men was about to as her as to why she was there when he noticed a picture on the mantle that had looked like it had been shot. He walked over and examined it, careful not to get cut by any of broken glass.

He noticed that it was a picture of Ahiru and the young girl that was crying. He showed another police officer who said it must of been his girlfriend. He walked over to the girl and told everything was going to be all right. Memiko just screamed at him that it wouldn't be and ran out of the house.

In the meantime she had sprinted towards her home only to see that her mother had also been shot and was lying helplessly on the ground. The word ‘revenge' was painted on the wall with her mother's blood. She recognized the handwriting. It was Ame's.

Memiko who was out of breath and crying began running across the street. She ran inside to get Amai and call the cops. Her heart sank as she saw blood dripping from the top of the stairs onto the wooden floors below . She didn't want to look she knew exactly what happened. Just then she heard another gunshot. Maku's face appeared in her head as she bolted through the garage door only to find his body halfway hanging out of his car. His blood was spread everywhere. The grass and black seats in his car were stained crimson red.

Tears poured down Memiko's face as she backed away from the scene. She bumped into something. She turned sharply only to realize it was Ame smiling at her with a devilish grin. "You like my masterpieces? I call it Death to the Perfect One." Memiko just began backing up not believing what she was seeing. Ame just began walking closer to her, "All I need is you and it will be complete." She smirked as she held up the gun and pointed it at Memiko.

Memiko's eyes grew large as she turned and began sprinting for her life. She thanked her father who had gotten her to do track at school. But even though Ame was overweight she was able to somewhat keep up. Memiko was almost to where the police were at Ahiru's house. She began screaming and was able to get their attention. They began running towards her when they saw Ame running after her with a gun.

Bang! They were too late. Memiko's head banged against the pavement as her blood splattered everywhere. Her mind when blank. She was badly scrapped and cut due to the way she fell. When she awoke, she found herself surrounded by darkness. She was terrified and began crying as she remembered what happened. She felt alone and scared. She didn't where she was. Just then a man appeared with gold eyes. Memiko scooted backwards into the alley. The man bent down his white hair falling into his face.

He looked at her in a way that he knew how she was feeling. Memiko didn't know why she took his hand when he offered it but she knew that he wouldn't hurt her. She could see it in his eyes. As he carried her to a large black castle, Memiko blacked out again. But before she was fully unconscious she remembered hearing him saying, "Welcome your majesty."
