Kakucho Hitta

When you don't have loved ones anymore, life becomes terrible, hunger, no one around, in general it's just awful.

Such was the life of little Yoko. Her parents died in a car accident when she was about two years old. She had an older brother, Kakucho, but his fate was unknown. With no other relatives left, Yoko was taken to an orphanage, where she grew up alone and humiliated until she was eight. Due to a speech impediment and psychological trauma, Yoko couldn't speak, or didn't want to. She ate little, making her smaller than the other children in the orphanage. In short, the others didn't humiliate her because she couldn't speak. This hell lasted a long time, until one day.

Kakucho Hitta grew up in an orphanage for troubled children. He fought often, but usually won. He had a close friend, Kurokawa Izana, who also grew up in the orphanage. Kakucho missed his parents, but even worse was the realization that he could never see his little sister, whom he loved dearly. Over time, Kakucho became somewhat withdrawn, and didn't interact much with anyone except Izana. Eventually, he joined Izana's gang and became his trusted confidant.

As soon as Kakucho turned eighteen, he began searching for his little sister in every corner of town. He found her when he arrived at the orphanage. He recognized her immediately: small, black-haired, scarlet-eyed, slightly battered, and secluded. Despite the teacher's insistence that the little girl was very problematic and that another child would be better, Kakucho didn't care.

Returning home, they were sitting in the kitchen, Kakucho tried to talk to the girl, but Yoko didn’t even look at him, then, unexpectedly, the doorbell rang, Izana came, Kakucho let him into the apartment and both went into the kitchen, Izana looked at Yoko, then at Kakucho, picked up the little girl in his arms like a kitten, by the shoulders, and said.

{Izana}: Kakucho...what the fuck is this.
