From Dusk Until Dawn

[pandoraxhearts]

"That has absolutely nothing to do with being outside in public Mina! I wanted to try to let you inside my heart, my mind, and you still cant accept me as I am!" She had now begun to shout slightly. "I am done playing little miss innocent, little miss crybaby! I'm always walked on, pushed aside, not anymore. I can't stand that everyone loves you. It's always been you, Mina, your so-called friends? Yeah, they hate my guts! I don't even have to tell you how many glares I've gotten from Hayner. Your lover boy, and don't think I didn't notice that ring on your left finger. I'm not as dumb as you think I am Mina!" Her rebuttle is cut short when Hayner enters the room.

"Oh shut it you little cry baby! I've seen how you and that pedophile treat my girl, and it's disgusting! Forcing her to accept you? You're a freak! A depressed little, good for nothing that always brings Kaminari down! She tells me how disgusting she finds you, and how she can't stand your annoying little 'oh poor me, poor me, I'm going to kill myself' You know what?! you're right, for once, we do hate you. You're the negativity that we don't need in our lives, Mina would do just fine without you! And by the way, you have no, and I mean, no idea what depression is like, honey I do, I go home to an abusive and neglecting father. Does anyone care? Do I lash out at my sister or friends? No. I suck it up just like you should learn to. Maybe it'd do you good, and as for Kaminari, I vowed to take care of her, and stick up for her, so why don't you just stop while you're ahead, because trust me, I can, and will knock you down a peg for hurting my girl." Venom spilled out of every single word he spoke to her. She was insignificant to him, he only cared for Mina, and protecting her in this moment.

After Hayner finished screaming Pandora bolted as fast as she could out of the mansion, running past the woods taking the back way home. She slammed the door behind her locking it having all of the keys inside, she locked the windows, and all the doors. She then ran into Satoshi's dark, and secluded room at the end of the hall, collapsing onto his bed sobbing intensely. Mina hated her. She was a crybaby. Useless. Useless to everyone, and everything. She was far too upset to even notice that Satoshi wasn't home. She cried so hard she couldn't breathe very well, and when she did it was breaths of hyperventilation. Shaking, her vision blurred as she passed out. She had not eaten and forgotten her medications for the day, and the run home made her even weaker. As she was passed out a dark swirling cloud surrounded her where she lay. An aura enveloped her unconscious body, slowly covering the whole bed.

Kaminari got fired up listening to her sister go on and on with the poor-me speech again. As if! She didn't walk over her at all, she always did her best to make Pan happy, because she wanted her to get better. "I know you wanted me to see into your heart, Pan, but I simply can't accept the love you and my brother share. I just can't. I don't walk on you either dammit! I try my damned hardest to make and keep you happy. I mostly ignore your relationship because I want you to be happy, but I can't accept it when it's in my line of view! And you're damn right I have this ring on my finger. It's not like it's an engagement ring and it surly isn't any of your goddamn business when you try to make me accept this kind of bullshit." She shouted at her sister, sick of this whole routine. She watched in silence as Hayner yelled at her sister. Calling her disgusting and saying that they really did hate her, which wasn't true. Saying that she had called Pan disgusting. She never did. She watched as Pan ran out of the mansion, sure to make herself weak. She was probably crying too. She means, she would be if someone spoke to her like that.

She turned then to Hayner about three different kinds of pissed off. "Just what in the hell do you think you're doing talking to my sister?! You have no right to say any of those things to her! I never once said that I thought she was disgusting! Because she isn't! The fact that my brother and her love each other is disgusting! You know that, why would you say things like that to her?! You know what you could have done? She could be anywhere, crying and killing herself because you said no one needs her and they all hate her. Which isn't true Hayner! Do you have any kind of answer as to why you felt so high and mighty as to break my sister's hold of herself?!" She screamed at him. After seeing him hurt Pan, she went into hyper-defensive sister mode. She was not about to let any of this happen and let him get away with it thinking it was okay. She noticed that she fiddled with her ring as she yelled at him.

Satoshi had a really hard time listening to Hayner scream at Panda the way he did without coming out of his hiding spot and punching that little good for nothing straight in the throat. How dare that worthless excuse for a boy yell at his baby girl like that. He continued typing code into the computer to keep the other events in check. He couldn't let this mission fail. He needed to wake up. His head perked up when he heard Mina start to scream at Hayner for attacking Panda. He knew that she didn't really love him and that he was no good for her. He'd have to continue listening to her scream at him and handle this situation at the same time. He didn't want to miss either of them.

[pandoraxhearts]

Hayner was taken aback by her response. He just defended her, he just spent a lot of his time doing this for her "Mina what the hell?! You do think that they're disgusting and I know that you hate the way she treats you! She's always griping for attention 'oh poor me poor me' Who honestly gives a shit! She's doing it all for attention, and you know it Kaminari! I love you with all my heart, but I can't let her go on treating you this way! You deserve so much better, and honestly, that brother of yours doesn't treat you any better! You need away from all that and you can't deny that they do nothing good for you." His words had more poison in them than he would have liked, but it was true.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari began to scowl at Hayner as he shouted at her now. She knows that he was trying to defend her, but it wasn't needed and he did it in the completely wrong way. "All they want is a little acceptance that I can't give them! But because of their relationship, Satoshi has been giving me no curfew, which lets me spend more time with you! And it isn't for attention Hayner! Do you really think that if she was doing it for attention that she would run off right when she started getting some?! My brother and sister love me and, individually, aren't at all disgusting! It's their relationship that is sick and what I can't stand! Yeah, it's hard to deal with them sometimes, but that's what happens in a family! It's hard to deal with your parents, but you don't see me go screaming at them because of your home life, because it isn't my goddamn place. This wasn't your place to intervene and get involved and scream at my sister! I can't handle this shit by myself and I sure as hell can't do it with you making it worse!" She threw her ring back at him then. She couldn't stand him right now. She paused pacing the room, she did that when she was angry. "I don't know if I can be here with you right now. You got into something you shouldn't have and hurt my sister. And you've hurt me. If this is what's going to happen, I don't know if we can do this." She started speaking quieter. "I need time to think and get my family back together. I believe you need to think too, I know I do." She walked away from him then, not looking back as she left the mansion. She needed to get home and help her sister. She couldn't lose her and she wouldn't if she could do anything about it.

She ran back towards the house, her shoulders had ice crystals one her shoulders and arms. Her blizzard studies were coming out at the worst time. She didn't know what to think. Hayner had brought up impressive points in the argument, but how could he think that it was okay to treat her sister like that? She ran home and found that all the doors and windows were locked. That was unacceptable. She focused really hard, letting her anger slip away and calm down for a moment. She brought forth the fire that she was able to summon into the palm of her hand. She shot her hands at the door, before the door flew off the hinges, singeing. She looked in the living room to no avail before rushing up the stairs. Pan wasn't in their room either. She found her passed out in Satoshi's room.

Satoshi could hear the anger in every one of Mina's words that she shouted at Hayner. He stopped his typing for a moment as he heard the teenagers leaving the mansion. Good. Now this could actually progress. He turned the beam back on and left a hint in the virtual world for the boy to find, to lead him in the correct direction. So he would end up here. It was time.

[pandoraxhearts]

Standing in awe, Hayner clutched the ring in his hand as he walked home. Could this really be it? Could she not love him anymore? He let tears stream his face. This was all her fault. Maybe he should just accept the fact that it wasn't Pandora's fault, that he shouldn't have intervened. He doesn't need to be so into her personal life. Hell, they've only dated for three months. He paced the streets, contemplating the events of this terrible day.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari walked into the bedroom through the beaded curtain and went to where Pan was lying passed out on Satoshi's bed. She shook her a little. "Pan, sis, wake up, please." She pleaded. She wasn't going to lose her, she refused. "Pandora! Please wake up! I need you to be okay. I need you to wake up." She shook her sister more, getting worried. "Pandora, please. I don't hate you. You're my sister...I love you. I need you here with me." She begged more, leaning her head on Pan's shoulder, a couple tears streaming down her cheeks. This couldn't be the end.

Satoshi watched the screen for a moment longer as the boy figured out how to open the floor and get to where he was. He quickly opened this floor and retreated before the boy would arrive. He had his phone so his friend could keep him updated on the whole awakening mission. He expected it to take a few minutes for the blonde haired boy to give up and sacrifice himself so that he could wake up.

[pandoraxhearts]

Pandora's eyes replicated that of REM, or Rapid Eye Movement that is found when one is dreaming. Visions filled her mind, but only in flashes. She saw the woman, Satoshi, Mina. Mina. She was there, she was shaking her as she dreamed, she couldn't hear what she was saying, but she felt the violent shaking that her sister was doing to her. She gasped coughing as she woke gasping for air sitting up. "M....Mina?....Wh....What are you....doing.....here?" Pandora choked between her labored breaths. Could she have seen the darkness? She looked around her, it was gone. She felt it though, as she slipped into unconsciousness. Where could it have gone? Did it disappear before Mina arrived?

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari gasped and covered her mouth as she watched Pan wake up, cough and come to. When she sat up, she immediately threw her arms around her sister. "Oh my god, you're okay. You're awake." She cried happily, embracing her sister tightly. "I'm here because I love you and needed you to be okay. I couldn't lose you, sis." She paused. "I wasn't going to let that happen. And you trust me, Hayner got told about himself. I don't think he'll be talking to you like that ever again." She talked quickly, just glad that she was awake. "And I promise you, I'm going to try to stomach your relationship with Satoshi. Even if it still grosses me out, I won't let it show, I want you to be happy. I need to help you get better and be happy." She smiled at her sister then, releasing Pan from her grip.

Satoshi started making his way outside into the mansion courtyard to wait for the trio to awaken and come outside. He would worry about his less worrisome family turmoil later. Mina was good at piecing that shit back together every time it fell apart.

[pandoraxhearts]

Pandora bowed her head. "He was right though, Mina, I mean, all I do is whine and cry. I'm trying, I'm trying so hard. I just wish you could understand even just the tiniest bit. I love you too, and I know all I do is press the issue with Satoshi, and I'm sorry. I really am. I'll keep it hidden more now." She turned away slightly, she shouldn't have to beg her sister for this, like Hayner said, she needed to suck it up and just be happy that Satoshi could be hers to begin with.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari shook her head. "You shouldn't feel like you have to hide from me. Do what makes the two of you happy. If I don't want to see it, I'll make it so. I won't expect you two to not love each other around me anymore. That's not fair to your or to Satoshi." She tried hard to convince her. She still was really going to hate seeing it, but if showing her disgust would lead to these kind of arguments and family breaks, she wouldn't show it anymore.

Satoshi waited, leaning against a piece of broken pillar in the courtyard of the mansion. He heard the door creak open and readied himself just in case it was the blonde haired boy, instead of who it should be. He was relieved to see that it was the right person, well people, coming out of the mansion. "Sora." He paused for a moment, getting up and waving. "Satoshi. I'm glad to see that you're awake. The worlds need you again." He said introducing himself. Even though his friend had been watching over him for quite sometime, and so had he, he'd never gotten the chance to actually meet Sora in person.

[pandoraxhearts]

Pandora looked over, "You really don't need to try so hard, Satoshi and I will tone it down. I know it disgusts you sis." She sighed softly as the sun was a little past the trees, it must have been almost sunset. "It's becoming late, and you haven't eaten today, come, I'll make you something, maybe we can go out a little later after you get something in your stomach." Pandora rose shakily, then gained her balance and made her way through the beaded doorway. She was going to let all of this blow over again, she couldn't handle another upset.

'Hey there Satoshi! These are my friends Donald and Goofy! What exactly is this place?" He smiled as he returned the wave. Goofy and Donald smiled "He-yuck! It's mighty fine meetin' ya Satoro!" Donald let out a disgruntled sigh, "It's Sasushi you oaf! Don't mind Goofy, he can be forgetful at times." 

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari smiled at her sister then. "Okay, whatever makes the two of you happy though." She stressed again, walking through the beaded curtain after Pan. "Have you eaten recently, little miss I don't need food?" She teased a little bit, trying desperately to lighten the mood a little bit.

Satoshi laughed, they were just like he'd said they were. "It's Sa-to-shi." He laughed a little, correcting them on his name. "This is Twilight Town, Sora. You've got to find something here, I'm sure you won't miss it. It leads to someone that can help you get started on your new journey." He looked Sora up and down, he sure had grown quite a bit while he was in the sleeping pod. "You seem like you could use some new equipment." He laughed a little, motioning towards his clothing.

[pandoraxhearts]

Pandora giggled a light sigh, "I honestly have not, and I feel alright," She headed downstairs and begun prepping the sticky rice. She had planned to make her sister California Rolls, and a little bit of Miso soup. Her two favorites. She rolls them up after chopping up the tofu for the Miso. "I'm really sorry Mina. I didn't mean to cause you to possibly leave Hayner." She said ignoring the fact that she noticed the missing ring.

"Well, thanks very Much Satoshi! heh heh, and yeah, I suppose that I may be in need of some new clothes. I will do my best to find everything I need, but I will be back soon." Sora said bidding Satoshi a goodbye. Goofy and Donald each took their turns as well. "Thank Ya Shigure....Sashimi......Satoro!" Donald, infuriated shouted at Goofy, "His name is Satoshi!! Get it right Goofy!" He angrily mumbled under his breath as the three walked off towards the train station.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kaminari sighed when Pan said she hadn't eaten in a little while. "You know you need sustenance, sis." She poked her skinny little side as she said it. "I doubt this is the end, the boy just needs to think long and hard about what he thinks is appropriate to say to you, because none of what he said was. It's unacceptable and he needs to know that I sure as hell don't appreciate him yelling at you and certainly don't accept that he yelled at me like he did." She paused, slowing down and thinking as she spoke. "I still love him, I do. He just can't be so bull-headed." She sighed, she didn't like this whole arguing with Hayner thing. She wanted it to be over. She took out her phone as Pan started to prepare the food. She texted him, telling him to meet her outside her house at midnight and that they needed to talk.

"Bye, guys! Keep in touch. Good luck on your journey!" Satoshi bid them a fare well before he started making his way towards the house. Hopefully, the storm had blown over by now. He also wished that Mina would be broken up with Hayner whenever he asked her about it.

[pandoraxhearts]

Pandora set the table after making Satoshi's favorite roll. She felt his presence growing as she made the Miso. She made her roll last and grabbed everyone chopsticks and bowls of miso, She sat in the spot between Mina and Satoshi. She was glad that things were finally relaxing again. She loved her sister very much and was still willing to be there for her. "Well, I'm always here to listen, and if relationship stuff bothers you right now, I'll keep Satoshi and I low key. I just want things to go back to the way that they have been, Kami, I don't want you to hide this disgust, but I do want you to realize, that there may be times where you catch us. It will only be cuddling, or maybe even napping together, or little kisses, because as I've said, we haven't advanced like that, but I just" She let out a soft sigh "I don't want you to see me as this monster..if half of what Hayner said was true...I don't even deserve to be here." She concluded.
