Mistreated

Katrina's ears laid flat and she hesitantly peeked over her shoulder. The footsteps stopped.

There she was. One of the most terrifying creatures to ever walk the planet.

Rashika Shizuka.

The nervous nekomimi twiddled her fingers and glanced down at her. "O-oh, hey Rashika, w-what do you w-"

"Shut the hell up!" The much shorter girl growled stepping forward. Causing Katrina to jump from being startled. "You ate the little dessert snack thing that was in the fridge didn't you?!" She says walking towards the large cat girl again. "Dammit fatass, I TOLD you it was mine!"

"N-no you didn't Rashika y-you didn't say anything ab-" Katrina was cut off as the shorter girl grabbed the collar of her shirt and yanked her down closer.

"No, I DID, tell you but apparently you're so fat that it's blocking your ears! Aren't cats supposed to have good hearing? Looks like you FAIL again!" She growled holding up the hand that wasn't already threatening the trembling girl and balling it into a fist.

Her eyes became glassy and her heart beat accelerated. She wanted to reply but she almost never could with her, ever since she was a little kid Rashika has always been scary, and the one in charge. Her temper was short and her insults stung like a nest of hornets, that hurt almost as much as when she would actually get physically violent.

She was so much larger than her, but when she got like this she felt powerless. There was nothing she could do to stop the short angry freight train that was about to run her down. Others had stopped Rashika before, but she didn't want them to. She wanted to face this head on, she wanted to be able to stand up to the little bully on her own, but as usual, fear gripped her again.

There was a wince and the quick sound of fist against skin before a pained little squeak. Katrina sat on the floor, holding her eye, tears running down her face. "Now listen up bitch! Don't touch my stuff unless I tell you to Ok?" She says leaning close again.

Katrina didn't answer.

"ANSWER ME!" Rashika yelled.

"O-Ok! Ok!" She squeaks sadly watching her "Best Friend" walk off.

It was times like this that she wished she were more aggressive, more angry, she wished that she could be cold and stand up to people, she would never acknowledge it but times like this she almost wished that Rashika had not made it out of the fire that killed the rest of her family. Or was it a different feeling, the feeling of sadness was not only her own, but a feeling that Rashika seemed to exude for her entire life. One of pent up rage and mistreatment she had dealt with her entire life. She didn't want Rashika to die or go away, but she wanted to fix her. She wanted to make her a good person, to let her face her problems and maybe then she actually would be her friend.

But for now, all she could do was cry, cry and tend to what was surely going to be a black eye in the morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't drawn Rashika in forever, and I don't remember ever drawing her in her Natural habitat, Beating up on the weak. The best way to describe Rashika, is that Bitch you knew from high school. You know the one. the one that people were scared of because she was so mean and she always thought she was better than you. But she's also the typical bully as well, not worried to kick your ass or get dirty.

And Katrina can be thought of as that one sweet girl who always hangs out with the mean girl and she does so because she's scared to death of her. Katrina has always been on the receiving end of Rashika's anger and often gets beat up because of it. They have known eachother since they were babies and because of it, Katrina has always had this angry little shadow looming over her and it actually controlled a majority of her life. Her parents allowed Rashika to be so mean to Katrina because both of their families were rich, however Rashika's family owned Winter-tech which was a bigger corporation and therefore needed Katrina's family to suck up to it.

However like Katrina, Rashika's family was killed in a tragic fire, On the same day even, hmm.. coincidence maybe? must be.. hehe.

So yeah, I know most people won't like Rashika, and she is almost ALWAYS like this to Katrina, but hey, maybe someday Katrina will muster the strength to stand up to her!
