'Thoughts'

Chapter 1: Changes

***Shion's P.O.V.***

It's been a few months since we invaded the Correctional Facility in order to rescue my close friend, Safu. I, no not even with Nezumi's help would we'd be able to save her back then. I then later without any hesitation, I shot a man in order to protect Nezumi. Now because of Nezumi's and my actions while trying to save Safu we managed to destroy the walls of No.6 as well.

Things were going somehow smoothly ever since we both made it out alive. That was until recently something made Nezumi…snap at me. I don't know why, but for the past few weeks he has been hitting me. It started out with Nezumi only yelling at me for small things like normal things me being an airhead or for naming his mice. Or whenever I make action through my thoughtlessness Nezumi would also yell at me for that too. However, as time went by it gradually became worse and worse.

I still love Nezumi a lot and I still want to stay beside him, but that resolve is gradually shattering. I knew he was mild tempered with his mouth, and likes to deceive people. But I never thought he would go as far to physically harm me. Especially after protecting me while we went to save Safu a few months ago.

'I love you!'

'I thought you felt the same way I did!'

'Stop hurting me!'

'Don't lie to me!'

"You're the one who taught me to live and cry for only myself!'

'No more please Nezumi!'

'Someone stop him!'

'Someone help me!'

I continued to think those unsaid words. Unable to speak them aloud in fear if I did the abuse would get worse. I cried alone whenever Nezumi went out to work wherever that was anyways. I could feel myself sinking into a deep dark abyss of despair. Despair for not being strong enough to fight back against Nezumi. Despair for my powerlessness when he struck me.

I'm beyond grateful when I go to work at Dogkeeper's hotel to wash the dogs. I wouldn't be shocked if he noticed the multiple bruises covering my small frame. Also the way I would flinch at the slightest touches whenever Nezumi touched me.

I'm not that much of an airhead that I don't know abuse whenever he'll hit me over and over. I kept getting called an airhead, not just by Nezumi but also by Dogkeeper too.

"SHION!" Nezumi yelled again at me inside our little underground room. I love livinging here in the Western District. Here, unlike in No.6 everything I felt was my own emotions instead of those artificial ones that No.6 gave everyone.

"Y-yes…?" I replied weakly walking slowly towards him trembling like a leaf in the wind.

"What's wrong you're trembling like a leaf?" Nezumi mocked harshly at me, hurting me, but I wouldn't let him see that it did.

Out of nowhere I finally snapped at him. I knew I shouldn't have at the time, but I was unable to take the abuse without saying something.

"Stop hurting me Nezumi! You're abusing me did you know that? Just look at all the bruises you gave me! I love you more than anything else in this world! However, if you continue to abuse me like this my resolve to stay by your side will eventually shatter!" I yelled now unable to contain my tears that I've been suppressing. I fell to the ground sobbing my heart out like a three year old.

"Shion? I'm…sorry…!" Nezumi weakly whispered, wrapping his arms around me allowing me to cry on him. I still flinched when he brought his arms around me.

"I'm…(sob)…afraid…(sob)…." I choked out between my tears that I choked on while I spoke. I never in my entire life, whether it was when I was living in No.6 or when I started living here with Nezumi did I cry this hard or this much. Not even when we failed in bringing Safu back alive did I cry this hard. Not even when I had to climb those dead and sometimes alive bodies inside the Facility did I cry. Nor have I ever been this afraid of someone before. I just wanted to know why Nezumi suddenly changed like this.

"Shh, its going to be alright. I'm here for you, Shion. Shh, I'm sorry for making you feel that way." Nezumi whispered rocking me back and forth slightly while rubbing circles on my back. I wanted to believe he was truly sorry for abusing me, but in my heart I knew he wasn't sorry for doing it. That's what continued to shatter me; I wanted to believe he was sorry, but I can't bring myself to believe it.

"I…(hiccup)…love…(hiccup)…you…Nezumi…." I said as my crying began to calm down to just hiccups. My eyes were probably red from all the crying I did, but I don't care if they were.

Nezumi brought his fingers up to my chin cupping it in his hand. I looked at his silver eyes that I came to fall in love with.

"I love you too." Nezumi said in a seductive tone that made me want to melt. He brought his lips to mine as he continued to hold my chin. I closed my eyes slowly as I still didn't fully trust him. He brought his lips to mine, kissing me. It wasn't full of hate or lust, it was full of love.

Author's Note: I hope you'd enjoy this Fanfiction so far:) I'm sorry for leaving it on a romantic cliffhanger like that, but I thought it would be a good spot to stop.

Will Nezumi continue to abuse poor Shion? Was he actually truly sorry when he said that? Does Nezumi actually even love Shion, or was he just stringing him along the whole time?

Find out in Chapter 2, but be sure to Read & Review it helps keep me motivated. However, I'm sorry for not updating my two Cardfight! Vanguard Fanfictions recently. I just started back to school recently, and I've crazy busy.
