Hey! So, I know I haven't written anything in forever and you've probably already forgotten about my story, but here I am. Back to finish it! I hope it's good :) The next (and last? Ooooo the suspense :-P ) will be up tomorrow if everything goes as I plan.

Worrisome

Keiichi gave up. Nine calls and nothing. Not a single answer. He left his phone on the bed.

Why hasn't she answered? he thought.

He continued browsing the internet, which he usually did when he finished cleaning. It was still hard for him though to take his mind off the idea that Rena, and even Shion, could be hurt.

He didn't want to seem odd when it turned out to be nothing, so he tried his best to distract himself.

He tried calling up Mion for a chat but no one answered.

"Okay, this is weird. Mion always answers. It could be the middle of the night and she would answer somehow…" Keiichi said out loud.

Keiichi paced through the house debating what he should do. No one was picking up their phones. Something was wrong. He knew it but what if nothing was wrong at all? What if they all were merely at Mion's house having a good laugh about how Keiichi was frantically calling them? What if he shouldn't be worried at all?

They're all at Mion's house. I know it. They're at the kitchen table, laughing their heads off about how Keiichi's an idiot and how he's so clingy to Rena! They expect me to go down there and see what's up. They know I'll be at the door in a few seconds. Oh hell, I'm going down there now. I don't care about what they're doing. I'm going.

Keiichi got ready as fast he could and headed straight for Mion's house, where he thought they all were.

"Have you learned?"

"Yes…"

"Has this pain shown you the error of your ways?"

"Yes…"

Rena looked down at her fingers. Or, where her fingers should be.

"Look up!"

Rena did just that.

"I'm going to let you go."

Rena did not know what to think. She was ecstatic but weary. She guessed she had the most confused face at that moment.

Kick. Stab. Shove.

Rena's body was slammed to the ground with a swift kick followed by a fatal stab. After an inspection, her attacker saw her face was stuck in confusion. Her attacker then put the body in the corner for disposal at a later time. She couldn't deal with it now… there was a knock at the door…

"Oh, Shion! It's nice to see you! What are you doing here?"

"This is my house, isn't it? Well, it's kind of my house anyways. I'm just here visiting my sis. I should be asking the questions. What are you doing here?" Shion asked with a smile.

"Well, I've been calling Rena and you for a while and no one's been picking up. I tried Mion as well and since she didn't pick up, I figured you all were here having girl time."

An awkward silence hit them. Shion broke it with, "You still have said why you're here."

"Well," Keiichi said, scared at Shion's sudden, annoyed tone, "I wanted to make sure everyone was alright."

"You mean, you wanted to make sure Rena was alright."

"Um, yeah, she was one of everyone but so were you and—can I come in?"

"Oh! You're so straightforward. Of course, you know where the kitchen is."

Keiichi headed to the kitchen with Shion behind him. He stopped suddenly at the door.

He asked, "Where are Mion and Rena?"

"Hmm? Oh, they're downstairs in the dungeon place. You know, where there used to be torture thingamajigs? Rena apparently had never been down there, so Mion and I took her down there to show her some things. No big deal. She's down there still probably."

"Oh, well then let's go dow—"

"WHY?!?" screamed Shion. She composed herself and calmly said, "I mean, why not have some tea or something? You must tired after walking here. It is hot about anyway."

"Yeah, a little but not enough to need something to drink. C'mon, let's just go down there."

Keiichi started for the stairs. He expected to be stopped but no hand tugged his shoulder and no words were spoken. He didn't hear any steps follow him.

Turning he said, "You co—"

Unconscious, he tumbled down the stairs. His attacker quietly followed.
