Ok, next chapter of my forged heart. I'll be working on the other chapters but lets get a lot in for this one! Characters created by and owned by Voltage inc.


... Is there nothing left to do? I knew there was a gun targeted on my head. What could I do?

"LET HER GO!"

Yamato was around here somewhere, but his voice was faint, and I'm sure his phone was still in the grasp of that woman. Could I ask a question? Maybe I can, I'll ask the man.

"Excuse me...?"

Silence? Nothing was happening, nothing! I tried again...

"E-excuse me..."

W-what was going on? Nothing, nothing is happening, still! I don't get it!

"Um, w-where is Y-?"

"(snore)"

EH?! The man was ASLEEP! WHO SLEEPS WHILE STAN-

"Why are you breathing hard? Can't you tell who it is?"

He woke up, good, but still, I got confused, and grew angry.

"If you're someone I know, why do you have a gun? And why won't you tell me where Yamato is?"

"(Sigh) It's part of the plan.."

The voice was a whisper, so I couldn't tell what the voice was... But I asked if it was really a gun. Silence... Maybe-

"It isn't a gun, how does it feel like a gun? Don't worry about Yamato but yourself."

"Why did that woman hire you?"

"(Sigh) Sleepy.. I mean she hired another man, but I beat him up and took undercover."

"...What is your best talent?"

I needed to know, so I asked that. He asked if he could see me, and I said.

"Hello, it's pitch black around here!"

I knew he knows me, but still he utters silence, and mutters plants. Plants? What job does work with plants? Ok, maybe I'll go with the guys from Kunian. Saeki, screen writer, Yuta, comedian, Kunihiko, bartender, Takao, lawyer...Tatsuki is back at Takao's house, and I don't know... wait! There's only one person left...

"Ren?"

There was silence, and I heard a snore again. I should've known from the start! How stupid am I? Obviously, Ren, is the only person I know, who never would use a gun in his life, sleep while standing up, and work as a researcher, for now plants. B-but how did Ren find out?

"H-hello?"

Still silence, and I nudged him! The thing on my head, I forgot! Let me ask!

"What's the thing on my head then?"

"Uh... (He woke up, thank god), a tube..."

I sighed in relief, and called the man Ren. I heard a chuckle.

"You got it right, Ryonita..."

It was louder, but not loud enough for anybody to hear, except me...

"Ren, what will you do next?"

"The woman only can rely on me, she has no gun, so I'll pretend to shoot you, you fall, and then I'll carry you! Everything will be alright..."

I blushed, thank god he couldn't see me, carry me? ...I guess we have to go with the plan... EH? A GUN EXPLOSION? OH, I'm supposed to fall...

"Knock me out!"

I nudged Ren, so it looked real... Ren hit my head, and I fell to the floor, as I heard feet stamping louder and louder. The place looked the same, pitch black...


RY-O-NI-TA! I heard it in my mind, and I heard water dripping, why was there a graze on my shoulder. Ren doesn't have a gun license, or a gun... Everything was blurry, and it wasn't my house...

He-o, H-eo- Halo- Who was saying so much words? There was something hot on my forehead. Everything was getting clear. And I saw, it was- someone, It wasn't Ren? W-who was it?

"A- yo- ok?"

W-what was this person saying, I couldn't get a picture. The world was getting black, then back to reality, then black, it seemed like staring closely at a computer starting to break, shutting down suddenly, ... I felt a warm hand on my cheek, then a warm sensation on my lips.

"Yo- ek- i- ed..."

What? What was he saying, I couldn't see the person, but then I felt something on my lips... w-what the hell? Who was this person? What was he doing? For some reason, after this, everything got clear. The person was gone... I don't get it? But when I saw everything, it was my bedroom...

The door was open, as I saw, but my lips were wet, and I felt really hot. I tried calling someone, but the words wouldn't come out.

"(gasp) (gasp)"

Only gasps and pants came out... I began to cry. What was happening. What happened to Ren? I closed my eyes in tears when I heard footsteps. I opened my eyes, and there was, who the hell, Makoto?

I tried to ask if he was treating me, but the words came out weird.

"eee, ah!"

Makoto sighed, and sat on the bed.

"Ren's in the hospital, since his condition was worse."

I forgave Makoto a long time ago, but as now, he married my cousin... but she went overseas for some reason, so he stayed next door with my brother. Makoto took my hand.

"Ryonita, it's ok. Ren could at least talk though... He said the plan... was going good, until the woman surpirsingly had a gun and shot him on the leg, and he fell. She shot you over the shoulders, and grazed your shoulders.. Don't worry about Yamato, he's fine..."

I was relieved that Yamato was fine, but what about me? And Ren? Ren must've thought that she didn't have a gun... It would've been better if he had a real gun with him... I tried speaking saying how Ren is right now..

"Re...Re- a.."

No good, what was happening, I couldn't say what I wanted to...

"It's ok, and Yamato ate the dinner you made... don't cry, please..."

I was happy Yamato got to eat the dinner... but I worried for Ren.

"The woman escaped, but we'll catch her, but we can't call the police without evidence, besides you and Ren, but we don't know what the woman looked like...

"Pho- n-ph... she ca.."

My voice was getting better, then I felt a bit of a sore throat.

"Phone? She ca- ca- do you mean call..?"

I nodded, well tried to, but it looked like a nod.

"...I'll look at your phone, Yamato took it, after finding it on the frontway of the door..."

Where was Yamato, I could ask but I didn't think it would work, obviously. My eyelids were heavy, my cheeks were red, I felt hot and heavy, and burned on my shoulders. My body couldn't move much, after such an accident...

"Yamato's in the kitchen, basically crying. You know why..."

I was feeling devastated, I wanted to get up, and hug Yamato.. but ... I couldn't ...

"I'll tell him you woke up..."

I curled up a watery smile, as Makoto stood up and went out. I stared at the ceiling remembering the words I heard.

"Yamato's mine...you can't escape now, can you?

"RYONITA!"

"Everything will be all right..."

Please, Ren, why couldn't there have been a miracle? I heard feet stamping, and saw the face I longed to see.

"Ryonita!"

"Ya-(gasp)"

He didn't care if I couldn't say his name, he went on top of me, and grabbed me tight... His arms wrapped around me.

"Thank god, thank god you're all right!"

I was happy, that at least I was alive, but I wish things could've gone better...


(Tear) This is not the end. Hope there really is a miracle. For a second, I was about to make the man to save her actually Yuta, it would've brought jealousy, but Ren is royal, it seems more cute. Like a prince saving a princess. Thank god Yamato and Ryonita reunited. Well, see you next time!
