Kikoto gasped at her ear. "Its ripped!" She heard Seth come home. "What did you do? Tell me!" She picked her up and brought her out to where Seth was. "Look at her!" She looked from Seth to Kineta.

Kineta looked away, staring at the ground. She still said nothing, trying not to shrink down in terror.
Seth sucked in his breath. "What did you DO, Kineta!?"
No answer.

Kikoto put her hands on her hips after she set Kineta on the table. "Well? Tell us, out with it."
Ace walked out of his room. "She didn't do anything. It was me. I started a fight and she jumped in, its my fault." Ace looked at his sister, then looked away.

Seth knew that was a boldfaced lie, and he turned to Kineta. "What did you do?"
Kineta let herself flatten her ears, and she lowered herself closer to the table. "There were five of them. They were laughing at Ace, 'cause someone tripped him. Then I started the fight..." She trailed off, trembling in pure terror, slowly edging away from her mother with wide, terrified eyes.

Kikoto shook her head. "Kineta! We let you drop out, and we are giving you more freedom! AND YOU STILL GO CAUSE TROUBLE AT A PLACE YOU HATE AND LEFT?!" Kikoto closed her eyes. "You are never to go back there. YOU HEAR ME? NEVER! Now go to your room, and stay there." She pointed a finger towards Kineta's door, then tuned to Ace. "Why were people tripping you?" "I don't know."

Kineta silently and slowly walked back to her room, shutting the door quietly, then looking at herself in her mirror. She cringed, seeing her ripped ear, then sinking down onto the floor, staring at the ground in the dark. SO free... She muttered inside her head. And all I wanted to do was walk home with Ace! She let herself cry silently, tears falling onto her knees before her.
Seth sighed, watching his battered daughter slowly go to her room and just as slowly close the door. Why did she go back?

Kikoto looked over at Seth. I think she just wants to be with her brother. She walked over to Ace and gave him a hug. "Do people normaly pick on you?" "Yes." "Why don't you ever tell us?" "Because its no big deal and I will just get over it like I always do." Ace turned and walked back into his room, then picking up a book and reading, he knew his sister was crying, but he couldn't do anything for her at the moment.

What are we going to do with her? Seth was frustrated with Kineta, and he sighed, then sank down into a chair and thought for awhile.
Kineta ran out of tears, and just stared at the floor, her green-yellow eyes a deep green, and she shivered.

Kikoto shook her head. I don't know, she woun't listen to a word I say and woun't stop getting into fights. I am about ready to give up and stop caring what happens because of her actions now. She sat down and sighed.

Seth walked over and hugged her close. I think she does listen, but people aggravate her enough to start fights again. I don't know why. He sighed deeply, kissing her forehead lovingly.
Kineta crawled to her door, and opened it just a crack, then her thin, quavering voice crept out. "I'm sorry, Mom...Dad...I'm so stupid!" Then she closed it again, and collapsed on her bed, then cried herself to sleep, with her head under her pillow so that no one who came in would see her tears and the blood on her face.

In the morning Ace woke up once more, got dressed and didn't bother taking a book. He grabbed his bag and headed out. He wasn't that tired anymore, but he knew after today he would be. He walked into class and sat down in his spot, then got out his homework and placed it on the teachers desk.
Aulii yawned, she was walking to school, bored enough, then she saw Zeki. "Hey Zeki!" She ran up, and like everytime she saw him, gave him a hug.

Zeki grinned, and hugged her back. "Hey, Aulii! Havin' a good morning?" He smiled, letting her go again.
Kineta took a deep breath, and cracked open the door. No one was there. She crept out, snitched some food from the kitchen, having had no food whatsoever the day before, and stole back to her room. She was silent, and she shut the door, then tore into her piece of bread ravenously.

Aulii smiled and walked alongside Zeki to school. "Yup, like always!" They were close enough to see there classrooms now. "Hey, Ace is there already. He looks worn out." Aulii hadent seen him, it was like he would walk through walls and avoid her.

Aulii opened the door and walked in, Zeki behind her. She clutched her books to her chest and walked down the hall, many of the young men in other classes whistled at her and clapped there hands, but she paid them no heed until one trapped her at her locker. "Hey babe, what do you say to comming over for lunch this afternoon?" "Sorry, i'm busy." "With who?" He looked past her and saw Zeki. "That runt?" "Hes my friend, now leave us alone." "But Aulii, why would you even bother with him?" "Because, hes a good person!" She felt a hand grabb her ass and jumped, then stood behind Zeki, a hand on his shoulder and the other clutching his arm, she peered around him at the other man. "Don't touch me!"

Zeki glared at him. "Leave her alone." So he was two inches smaller than the other and scrawnier, he could still pack a punch. "Or do I have to kick your ass to prove to you that she isn't on the market? We're friends, and she doesn't want you." Meaning, of course, that she didn't want a boyfriend, he was just a good friend to her. Zeki raised his fist warningly. Usually, he didn't start fights, but his temper was flaring up again. "Now," he continued in a soft, deadly voice. "I suggest that you leave her alone right now."

The other guy sighed and turned. "Find me if you change your mind Aulii." He winked at her then strode off.
Aulii was still hugging Zeki's arm. "Why do people always do that to me!" She stood up straight and let go of Zeki. "Thanks."

"No problem." Zeki grinned at her. It was still five minutes before the bell rang. "Well...the bell's gonna ring soon, so I suppose we'd best get to class." He smiled slightly at her, then dug his books out of his locker.

Aulii nodded. "Yeah, i'll see you at lunch. Bye!" She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then ran off to her classroom.
Ace looked up when Zeki walked in behind a bunch of girls, then looked down again. He had been reading his text book.

Zeki paused, then smiled slightly before heading back to class. He finally sat down, after being held up by a group of girls blocking the hall, and sighed in relief. He looked over at Ace, and a slightly smile cracked his face, but it was just about mirthless.
Kineta was bored, and she was getting hungry by now, too. She crept over to the door, and opened it, then walked out and sat in her corner. She was likely to get in trouble, but apparently her parents had never been stuck in their room for over a day.

Ace turned the page in his text book. It was the last page. He smelled Aulii on Zeki, and looked up. "Your were with Aulii again?"

"Yeah." Zeki nodded, smiling slightly. He pulled his little drawing with its story on the back out of his bag, and kept writing it. He didn't look up when the teacher came in.
Kineta didn't see anyone outside, so she prowled out, and climbed her tree. She hated being indoors, the wind in her hair felt good, even if it stung a little when it blew across her ripped ear.

Kikoto looked up. "KINETA GET BACK IN THE HOUSE!" She looked up at her daughter. "NOW!"
Mr. Kuton walked into the room, seeing Zeki writing, and he smiled. "Alright class. Today we are going to the ruins of the great castle, follow me." He looked as they all stood. "But Ace, and Zeki, you stay here." He walked out of the classroom and locked the door from the outside.
Ace looked around. Then he started smacking his head on his desk, knowing there would be a test on this tomorow. "Damn teacher." He stood and went and leaned against the window, looking out. Then there was a nock at the door and the sound of it unlocking and in came Aulii, who closed the door behind her. "Hey guys, you guys chose not to go too?" "More like we were forced not to go." Ace grumbled. Aulii smiled and sat in the desk closest to Zeki. "What are you wring Zeki?"

"A story." Zeki smiled, reading over what he had written. It was a pretty good story, too, but the dragon needed more work. He scribbled out some of it, and started rewriting the dragon's part, scribbling furiously.
Kineta sighed, leaping out of the tree, then trudging unhappily back to the house. She scratched her ear, then walked dejectedly back towards the door, staring at the ground. She didn't take care where she was going, and tripped over a tree root, smacking her torn ear against a tree, and biting back a cry of pain. Then she stood, and continued on towards the house, not looking at her mother.

"I don't know...I think the teacher gives him too much homework, it's tiring him out." Zeki murmured softly, looking over at Ace quietly.
Kineta reached the door, and was about to open it, then she sat beside a tree and stared at the grass in front of her. She leaned back, and caught a thorn in her ear, but held back a whimper, and pulled it out. She didn't move, desperately wanting to stay outside.

Kikoto walked in through the back door and checked Kineta's room, she was not there. She wasn't inside. She walked to the front door and opened it, seeing her. "INSIDE! NOW!"
Aulii smiled. "We should cheer him up!" She stood up and walked over to Ace. "Hey.... Ace. Whats up?" She started to massage his shoulders.
Aces eyes stared dead ahead, not looking around, but his ears twitched and turned in Aulii and Zeki's direction, showing that he was listening.

Zeki went and sat on the desk beside Ace. He didn't really know what to say, though, so he let Aulii do the talking.
Kineta sighed, and shook her head violently, trying to make her headache go away, but that only made it worse. She slowly stood, and trudged inside, staring at the ground as she did. She sank down in her corner, then stared at her mother flatly. "Why can't I even go outside?"

Kikoto watched her child. "Because when ever we let you outside, you go and cause trouble, and it has got to stop!"
Ace didn't show it but what Aulii was doing felt good. Then he turned his head and looked at both of them. "What are you doing?"

"I just wanted to wait for Ace!" Kineta protested, becoming annoyed. "Half the time I just sit in my tree anyway! And it's not like being stuck in here is going to do anything!" She flattened her ears back against her head in anger, then looked longingly at the window, gazing at her tree, before turning back to her mother will fiery eyes.
"Just trying to be people, I suppose." Zeki shrugged, not really sure what to say to that, so he said what popped into his head.
