The next morning Nagato groaned and felt something wet touching his cheek. His eyes snapped opened and and looked at the thing. "Oh.. It's just you Chibi.." He giggled lightly and sat up, hearing his back crunching. He sighed in relief at the loss of tension in his back and he stood up, catching Chibi, who jumped at him.

"Ruff Ruff!" Chibi barked, his tail wagging quickly. The mutt licked Nagato's cheek, making the auburn-haired boy giggle.

"Hey hey hey, calm down Chibi.. I haven't had my coffee yet" He yawned. The dog hopped out of his arms and whined slightly, his tail twitching. "You need to go out?" The dog barked and stood up. "Okay, C'mon Chibi~" He smiled and smoothed down his hair as he walked out of his room. The dog followed and they walked downstairs. He walked into the kitchen and opened the sliding doors to the deck. Chibi ran outside and down the stairs. Nagato giggled lightly again and walked to the bathroom. He looked into the mirror and scowled slightly. He was gaining some weight, and he didn't want that. He poked around his collar bones, which were jutting out pretty badly, and sighed. "Great.." He whined inaudibly and opened the medicine cabinet. "I know my pills are in here..." He mumbled, looking at all the different bottles. He moved them around and sighed. "I must be out..." He muttered, sighing. He walked back to the kitchen and let Chibi in. He flipped on the coffee maker and poured some water in it. He poured some coffee into a filter and put it in the coffee maker as well.

"Well, well, well, look who's up." Nagato gulped lightly and turned around.

"M-Morning daddy.." He stuttered. Chibi sat on Nagato's feet and nudged his knee.

"Make some extra coffee, got it?" The man said. Nagato just nodded, adding extra coffee to the filter. The man walked out of the room and Nagato let out a shaky breath. He picked up Chibi and leaned against the counter.

"At least he's not in a bad mood.. yet.." He said softly, looking at the dog, who seemed to be listening. Nagato always wondered why Chibi stuck with him as long as the dog has, but he never wanted to question it. He smiled softly as the dog licked his cheek. He loved Chibi, even if he was just a mutt that was thrown away by his old master. Chibi always seemed to listen to Nagato when he spoke. Hell, sometimes when he barks Nagato even likes to imagine that the dog is trying to talk to him.

Nagato was taken out of thought by a beep, signaling that the coffee was done. He got out two cups, one for him and one for his father. He poured some coffee into one cup and carried it to the living room. He walked up to his father, who was sitting in his chair, smoking a cheap cigarette. Nagato scrunched his nose lightly at the disgusting scent, and held out the cup silently. The man took it and ignored the boy, who didn't mind at all. Nagato walked back to the kitchen and got out some creamer. He poured it into a cup and added coffee. He stirred it with a spoon and sipped on it, sighing in relief after his first drink. "Ahh.." He looked at the ceiling, wincing slightly as he heard his neck crack. "Ugh.." He bent down and patted Chibi's head before walking back to his room, the dog following quickly.

Nagato didn't do much of anything for the rest of the day. He just laid around in his room and relaxed. He did cook supper for his brother and father, but of course he didn't eat. "I guess Ana is my friend again..." He mumbled softly and petted Chibi. The dog whined softly and nudged Nagato's chin. "I'm okay Chibi" He smiled softly at the dog, hugging him. The dog licked his ear and snuggled into the boy's side, starting to fall asleep. Nagato smiled and rubbed one of the dog's ears as the mutt fell asleep.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, knowing something was going to happen to him soon. His father was too calm today, and when that happens, nothing good can come of it. He shook his head and picked up his Ipod. "He's probably just in a good mood..." He mumbled, starting to play "Down With the Sickness" By Disturbed. He leaned against his headboard and closed his eyes, listening to the song.

"Open your eyes you little shit." He heard his father's rough voice said. He gulped and opened his eyes, looking at the drunken man in his doorway. "D-Daddy.. You're d-drunk.." He said softly, though he knew the man could hear him. His father stumbled over towards the frightened boy, who was backed up as far as he could into the wall. "D-Dad stop.. G-Get some r-rest.." He said, whimpering softly. His father slammed the door once he was in Nagato's room. He walked over to Nagato, an empty bottle of vodka in his hands. "D-Dad... what are you doing..." He said, his eyes widening a little. He looked at the bottle, then to his dad, who grinned (flashing a pair of yellow teeth that obviously haven't been brushed in a while) and raised the bottle, holding it by its neck. "Dad no!" He screamed, holding his hands up.

Bam.

Nagato gasped as the bottom of the bottle collided with the top of his head, shattering the glass bottle. He gasped again and held his head, looking at the man like he had gone mad. "D-Dad... stop..." He said weakly, feeling when energy he had left fade. He heard a faint growling and looked over to Chibi, who was about to attack the man. "L-Lay down Ch-Chibi." He said as sternly as he could. He loved his dog, and hell will freeze over before Nagato let that dog get hurt.

"Good boy~" His dad purred, getting onto the bed.

"Dad no more... please!" Nagato yelled the last part as his father pinned him down, starting to rid him of his clothes. He felt tears from in his eyes and his father turned him over.

The next morning Nagato woke up and groaned in pain, rolling over on his stomach. Thankfully, his father had left after... well..

"Ruff Ruff!" Nagato squeaked as a tongue slapped against his cheek. He smiled softly and petted the mutt. "G-Good boy..." He mumbled. "I'm gonna take a shower... and clean up the bed.." He slowly got up to his feet and cringed in pain. He glanced at his reflection in the mirror. He lightly patted the top of his head, which had bled quite a bit. He cringed again but sighed in relief. 'At least there's no glass in my head this time..' He thought to himself. He put on an extremely loose pair of pants and got a comfortable outfit. He stumbled out of his room and closed the door after Chibi left the room. He made his way down the hall and to the bathroom, where he collapsed to the floor. He couldn't feel his legs for a few moments, but he slowly regained his ability to stand. Chibi whimpered and stood next to him, helping the self inflicted emaciated boy to his feet. Nagato grunted lightly and closed the bathroom door, locking it. He panted lightly and turned on the shower, looking at his reflection in the mirror again. He sighed and skipped brushing his hair. The blood wouldn't allow it. "I just need to soak in the water for a bit..." He said to himself. He slipped out of his pants, which, thinking back, he didn't really need. It was fife o'clock in the morning, and nobody wakes up on a Sunday until around ten in that hellhole known as home. Can't be too careless though. He shrugged and stepped into the shower. He sat down and sighed, not quite able to hug his knees. He let the warm water run over his tensed muscles and he leaned his head under the water, letting the water rinse the blood away. The water turned a pale shade of red and he sighed and arched his back, hearing multiple pops and cracks. He rested his head against the wall and yawned lightly, closing his eyes.

After about thirty minutes or so, the water began to cool down, so Nagato figured it was time for him to get out. He stood up and popped his back, rolled his shoulders, and popped his knuckles, before turning off the water and getting out. He was greeted by Chibi's tongue on his leg, lapping off the water. He giggled softly but winced a little as he felt a pain in his stomach. "I need to eat a little at least.." He sighed and quickly dried off. He slipped into a baggy outfit and patted Chibi's head. The dog barked happily and wagged his tail. Nagato smiled and opened the bathroom door. Chibi ran to Nagato's room and curled up on their bed. The ginger smiled and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a Poptart. He walked back to his room and nibbled on the pastry, only eating half of it though. He gave Chibi the other half. He couldn't stomach anything more. He sighed and picked up his Ipod. He turned it on and started playing "In This Moment" By Blood. He closed his eyes and smiled, listening to the song. Chibi laid across Nagato's legs, falling asleep on him. Nagato stroked the dog's head for a bit and slowly opened his eyes, hearing his brother waking up. He knew it was Daisuke because.. well.. his father won't be out of bed until around three or four in the afternoon.

"Hey Nagato, I'll wash your sheets for you..." He said softly, lightly knocking on the door. Nagato made a soft noise and picked up Chibi. He walked over to the door and opened it, moving his hair to cover his face.

"O-Okay..." He said softly. Daisuke felt his face get paler as he looked at his brother. Nagato didn't look good at all. He'd obviously lost quite a bit of blood, he was way too underweight, his collarbones were sticking out a lot, he was cut and bruised... He just didn't look good.

"Nagato..." He said softly, pulling his twin into a gently hug. The red-head felt his eyes water and he closed them tightly. He buried his face into Daiske's chest, letting them slip out of the corner of his eyes and down his cheeks.

After a few minutes of Daisuke gently hugging him and Chibi licking away the salty tears, Nagato calmed down and sniffled. The slightly older male wiped away Nagato's tears and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry Nagato.."

"Don't be.. at least you're okay.." He said, trying to be strong. Daisuke gave him a weak smile, though tears were brimming his eyes as well. "I'm okay.. I promise" He said, smiling weakly.

"Okay..." Daisuke said softly. He collected Nagato's slightly bloodied and... other things... sheets and left the room, gently closing the door behind him.

Nothing really happened for the rest of the day. Pein didn't come up, Nagato's father stayed in his room, and Nagato just sat in his room, sipping on water and playing with Chibi. It was a rather calm day, thankfully. Nagato knew it wouldn't last all week though.

The boy picked up his journal and flipped it open, reading a few passages he made in it. He sighed and closed it, laying down on his bed and pulling the sheets up. Chibi flopped down next to him and licked his cheek a few times before calming down. They both calmed down and fell into a dreamless sleep.
