Last time
An unnerving feeling settled in his stomach. 'What is this feeling?' Asano thought. He had a very bad feeling about the next day. He knew to trust his gut feeling as the last time this happened was when his father's personality changed into the strict and cruel person that he was now.

Elsewhere

"I wonder if Sakakibara showed Asano that picture he took of Akabane and Ayame. He was in so much of a rush he didn't even notice me standing a little bit away from him taking the same picture. Oh well, at least Principal Asano has been informed of this development."

Now

The rest of the Kyoto trip passed uneventfully, and once again all of the students of kunugigoaka high school arrived back on campus, before heading home to unpack their things. The same thing could not be said for the Asano twins, especially Ayame who has had sinking feelings for the last day and a half. Slowly she allowed her gaze to wander to her red-haired companion, "Karma... I don't feel good, something bad is going to happen." Karma looked at the girl concerned, as he knew the survival instincts she acquired from her living environment had never been wrong before, and neither had his which had also been leaning towards the negative over the last half of the trip. Ayame's bad feeling intensified as her sights landed on her twin, who was staring back at her with a face as pale as her own.

Grabbing her bag, the strawberry blonde bid farewell to her classmates and approached her brother, "Shuu, what's wrong?" Her brother shook his head, "I don't know, but I've had a bad feeling since the end of the first day of the trip, Aya." There was a silence reigned between the pair before it was by Gakushuu, "Sis, you would tell me if you started dating someone...right?" This caught his sister off guard, "w-why do you ask?" Silently she cursed the fact that the stuttered. Taking a deep breath Gakushuu mentally worded his response, "I know about you and Akabane, someone I trust, showed me a picture of you kissing Akabane, please don't worry, I made sure they deleted the picture and I deleted the copy off my phone that they sent me, father won't hear about it from me." Ayame stared at her brother in a state of shock, which caused him to chuckle slightly, "Always the look of surprise. I may heavily disapprove of you choosing Akabane, but even I have to admit, that out of everyone in this school and that we know of, he is the only person that can truly look after and protect you when needed. Again, I may hate the guy, but if you love and trust him, and he makes you happy, then... then that is enough for me, I will just have to learn to live with it. However, should he intentionally hurt you in any way shape or form, well let's just say they won't find his body." A wolfish grin lit up his face.

Slowly, the pair began making their way towards the school gate where their father's car was awaiting Gakushuu. As they approached Ayame went to bid farewell to her brother and was about to begin her walk home, when the driver stopped her. "My Apologies Miss Asano, but I have been advised to drive the both of you home." With a quick exchange of fearful looks, the twins stiffly and shakily entered the vehicle.

Karma and all the other E-class students watched in unmasked shock at the casualty with which the twins conversed especially when the male Asano twin started chuckling. However, what all but Karma were oblivious to was the look of absolute terror in the eyes of the twins as they entered the car. But, before he realised that his bad feeling had reached their peak, the car had already disappeared taking both siblings away, removing his chance of stopping the girl from leaving. With a quick goodbye to his classmates, he started walking out of the school. When he was far enough away he made a beeline for the Asano residence, dare he say it he actually prayed that their bad feeling was wrong this time, he really did hope.

With the Asano twins

As the car pulled up the pair halted in the movements as they noticed their father standing in the doorway, a smile so saccharine, it promised immense pain. Sadly they could not remain hidden in the car when the driver opened the passenger door for them to leave. Painfully slow in pace they approached their father, who as his gaze wandered over the pair felt a sense of unreserved sadistic glee. His mind ran various punishments through his head. "Both of you follow me, now" leaving no room for arguments the older Asano, turned on his heel and walked into the house, leaving the twins rushing to collect their bags and follow.

They trailed after the older male all the way up to his office. Staying standing, the two teenagers watched as Asano Gakuho walked behind the desk and sat in the leather-backed office chair, with a deep set frown marring his features, he intertwined his fingers and leaned forward resting his elbows on the desk as he stared at the pair. The air was stifling and the tension was so thick you would have been able to cut it with a knife. The silence was starting to wear at the twins' resolve, slowly they could feel themselves beginning to crack. "I assume you are both aware of why you are here?" The twins glanced at one another silently questioning the other before shrugging and giving their father their full attention. "No, father. We are unaware of why you have asked us to join you in your study." Gakushuu interjected as Ayame nodded slowly. "No? Do not treat me as a fool Gakushuu. For I can assure you that I shall not be lenient. Now let's try this again. Do you know why you are here?" A shiver ran down Ayame's spine she knew that tone, how couldn't she, he used it whenever he became physically violent. Her brother who had never witnessed this behaviour repeated his response despite knowing that the question his father asked was rhetorical. "Again...father, we do not know what has caused this situation."

Dull and yet molten Amethyst eyes shifted to his son, and Gakushuu knew at that moment that he had spoken out of turn. "Gakushuu, please do sit down on the chair for me." Almost robotically the younger male did as told, except when he sat down his father stood from his seat and fastened Gakushuu's arms and legs to the chair using zip ties, before turning to Ayame, he motioned into the other free chair next to her brother, which she quickly sat in.

Once both were properly seated Gakuho leaned against the desk in front of the pair. "It has come to my attention that both of you have tried to hide something from me. Ayame, why don't we start with you? I have been informed that instead of studying and working to increase your grades. You have instead gone down the line of getting yourself a boyfriend in Akabane Karma no less. *both of the teens' eyes widened marginally, Ayame turned her head quickly to her twin who shook his head in response frantically* you clearly need a reminder of discipline, but first. Gakushuu, I have also been informed that you knew of this relationship between your sister and your rival, yet...why is it...that I did not receive this information from you. Oh I know quite well, it's another attempt at breaking my orders, don't think I am unaware of you treating your sister's injuries after she has been punished! Or 'sneaking' her food when I have forbidden her from having dinner. I do believe a severe punishment is for the both of you." Slowly the male pushed himself off the desk turning his son's chair around to face the door before grabbing a handful of Ayame's hair and throwing her to the floor.

Trigger warning alert!

As his daughter's body made contact with the carpet the older Asano moved to his desk where he removed his suit jacket and placed it over the back of the chair. He rolled up his sleeves and retrieved a knife and a pair of scissors from the draw. Casually he walked over to where his daughter sat in fear staring up at him from the floor. Once more he grabbed a handful of her hair and tugged her up to face her brother who was struggling to get out of the bonds that bound him to the chair. "I believe having a front-row seat to your sister's punishments should be a fitting punishment for yourself, no?" Almost automatically Gakushuu's head snapped up in surprise, fear and terror, upon the tone and attitude his father had adopted, he observed the knife that his father held to Ayame's throat. He watched as his father stood up and sneered at the knife while muttering how utterly plebeian using a knife for this sort of punishment was. Placing the knife on a table off to the side the older male turned on his daughter once more. Raising his leg from the ground he flung it full force into the girl's abdomen, sending her spiralling into the legs of the table that held the knife.

Ayame knew better than her brother that the less she struggled the less pain her father would put her through. Watching as her father approached her once again, she ignored her brother who had shouted her name upon contact with the kick, the rattling of the chair echoing across the otherwise silent room as the male continued to unsuccessfully free himself. When a blinding white hot pain soared through her body, emanating from her left leg and causing her to scream in pain. Her father had just shattered the lower half of her left leg. She watched through clenched eyes as the area swelled up and bruised in an array of colours before turning back to the man who should have loved her unconditionally at the sound of his voice. "Ah yes, if I do remember correctly I received a medical bill yesterday, from a hospital in Kyoto. You were admitted to their care, because of deep gashes, no? Maybe we should open those up, it was such a waste of good money after all." With that he took the knife off of the table above the girl and started slicing open the stitches that were preventing the girl from bleeding out, adding more pressure than necessary making the partially healed tissue bleed heavily once more, each causing Ayame to scream in pain, which Gakuho took in delightfully.

"STOP! PLEASE! FATHER PLEASE! STOP!" A snapping sound mixed with the sound of screams caused Gakuho to pause, turning to his son, who had broken the limbs of the chair in his struggle to free himself and stop his father from killing his sister and was now breathing heavily an alarmed look on his face, realising he now had his fathers full attention.

Standing up the older Asano sneered one last time at his daughter who was slowly bleeding out on his floor. Walking over to his son knife still in hand he grabbed Gakushuu by the throat and squeezed. "Oh, and what are you going to do? You are weak, pathetic and a waste of human flesh, I'm rather ashamed to share DNA with you. If only you both had died when your mother did, look at you couldn't even save your sister." Turning his son's head so he was staring at his dying sister, Gakuho, kicked Gakushuu's legs out from under him causing him to fall, and hit his head against the desk on the way down, as he hit the floor the hand once again back at his throat, cutting off his oxygen, he tried to scratch, punch or kick his father, anything to release the hand around his throat, his vision was starting to turn black when the hand disappeared. He began coughing as oxygen was once again reaching his lungs.

Cracking his eyes open to see his sister in a half-dazed consciousness had dragged herself across the floor and was gripping their father's wrist, "D-don't hurt Shuu, please. Just me just hurt me please leave him alone." Their father ripped her hand off his wrist as he stood up, he kicked her in the stomach and sneered at the pair before fixing his shirt sleeves and leaving the room. "Sh-Shuu... I'm sorry." Was all Gakushuu heard as a thud resounded across the room and a sharp pain in his side as he lost consciousness.

With Karma

Karma skidded to a stop as he was a few houses away from the Asano residence and hid. As Asano Gakuho exited the building and entered a car in front of the house and drove off.

Once Karma was sure the coast was clear, he stood up and ran towards the house, throwing the front door open, as a voice sounded behind him, "Akabane? What are you doing here?" Spinning around Karma was met with none other than Ren Sakakibara. "Something isn't right? I came to find Ayame, why are you here?" He said hurriedly. "Asa-Gakushuu, accidentally mixed his notes up with mine, I came to return the...ugh, what is that smell?" The smell of rust and iron drifted through the open doorway causing Ren to cover his nose and Karma to remember why he was there. Slowly the pair entered the building, and they both shouted the names of the individuals they were looking for, when they received no response they split up to search the house Sakakibara searched downstairs, while Karma searched upstairs.

It didn't take long for Ren to conclude that they weren't downstairs, it wasn't until he heard Akabane's frantic shouts of "AYAME! ASANO! Sakakibara! I need help now!" Racing up the stairs to where he heard Karma's voice. Ren had to physically stop himself from throwing up, as Karma checked the pair for pulses. Feeling faint pulses from both of them Karma quickly took charge and instructed Ren to carry Gakushuu, while Karma carefully picked up Ayame. They quickly made their way to the hospital. Where the twins were seen immediately. Karma phoned his parents the second the pair were being seen about the medical bills for the pair, before speaking with the hospital to change the twins' emergency contacts to each other as a primary and himself as a secondary.

"I hope they'll be alright" Ren spoke breaking the silence as he and karma charged out of their blood-soaked clothes in one of the hospital bathrooms which was spare clothing given by the hospital. "So do I, Sakakibara, so do I," Karma responded as they walked out to the waiting room. "Please call me Ren, Akabane. After the events of the last 2 hours I think a first-name basis is more acceptable, don't you?" Silence reigned for a few minutes as they sat there, before the redhead responded, " okay Saka- Sorry Ren it's going to take a little bit of time to get used to. I suppose you may call me Karma."
