This Story is in response to an Iron Chef challenge on PPMB.

The challenge was as follows:

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it:

During the fight shown in "Boxing Daria", what if Daria had run away from home rather than retreating into the box? Must include:

*reactions from all the Morgendorffers and the repercussions in their lives.
*Daria growing up with another family (Bonus points if it is not the Lanes)
*A chance meeting between the two, they don't necessarily have to recognize each other, just interact

After accepting the challenge, I'd planned a short (less than 10,000 word / no more than 5 Chapter) story...hah,hah. Now that the story is at eleven chapters an over 35,000 words – and growing – I've decided to publish it as a stand-alone story here at ff(.)net

So, without any further ado, for your enjoyment: We only hurt the ones we love.
