"Mistress would you like your massage now?"
"Yes of course, Daitoro."
Rita watched in horror as her mother kissed a man other than her father. Her heart felt incomplete, she ran away.
"Rita? Rita?" Hisoka called out through the castle.
"What!?" Rita was surprised. He never came on Saturday.
"I'm......stuck here Rita." Hisoka murmured.
"Why!? Why won't you leave me alone brat!?"
Hisoka began to cry, he watched Rita run past him in tears herself.
"Rita get in here," Her uncle called from the throne room, "What uncle?"
"Ah theres a good girl, now you need to learn how to use a gun so that we can make sure Hisoka never leaves."
"Wait, why?"
"That's not for you to ask Rita, it's the law."
Rita watched her uncle load the gun quickly and blast it at one of the kittens that resided in the throne room.
"Wh-why?" Rita was sobbing now, her face was dripping wet.
"That kitten wasn't important for the castle anyway, now Rita you try." Rita stood there for a minute, wide-eyed and quiet. She'd only have one chance to do it right or things for her would be over. She grabbed the gun from her uncles hand and loaded it like he had done before her.
"Uncle will you hold the kitten still so I do not shoot the tiles?"
"Of course Rita!" Her uncle was jolly to do so, it would be perfect now. Rita pulled the trigger, blood spilled out onto the tile. Her uncle was now dead. The little kitten climbed over the body drinking the blood of the one who killed her frail sibling. Rita dropped the gun over the body and grabbed the kitten. She wiped off its mouth in the washroom so it would not be killed too. That was not what she desired, what she desired was justice, an evil man had been punished, a murderer had been disposed of.
"Rita...what's that on the little kitties nose?" Hisoka's mother Penny asked kindly.
"Blood." Penny was shocked.
"Rita..of whom?"
"The king." Rita broke down into tears.
"What happened?" Penny tried to help Rita gather herself together.
"I shot him..He shot the kitten..He killed her, and he would kill me next. I was just like the kitten frail and not needed, but now I won't be killed right?" Penny sighed hugging Rita close,
"No sweetie you'll be fine don't worry."
Penny held Rita for most of the night as they talked and Rita cried, finally Penny had to go home.
"Goodnight Rita..I won't let you be killed," Penny said turning out the light in Rita's room.
"Come Hisoka we have to head home!" Penny shouted.
"Mother I can't" Hisoka whispered from a dark corner.
"And why not young man?"
"Because if I leave I'll be killed." Penny now began to break down,
"Hisoka you don't know what I've been through today please do not joke like that!" She pleaded. Hisoka's younger sister Annie walked into the passageway,
"Mother this is not a joke." Annie and Hisoka had a brown stitch-like scar on their necks and a butterfly tattoo on their chest.
"I'll go get your father you two stay with Rita, I'll be back by dawn." Penny whispered kissing them both on the forehead.
