A Place Burned
Chapter Ten: I Lure Sayer, As Well As His Love
Kysa' P.O.V
I came up to where Ren and Austin were. I took notice on what they were radiating. Anger! What for though? I thought.
Ren looked at me, an unknown look that I was not used to seeing him have. Austin had the same look.
"You attracted the one guy who you were to avoid." Austin said.
"And I fear that won't be the last time we would see him." Ren said under his breath.
I was honestly getting angry. They were radiating anger and their eyes took on a murderous shade of what their eyes were supposed to look like: dark and calm with Austin and serene light blue for Ren, that and they keep saying something I didn't get.
Then it hit me like an ambush: Sayer!
Kat materialized beside me. "Did you see Sayer by any chance?" I asked her.
She nodded her head. "He was watching you! I felt his emotions: first it was happy, then something turned him on and he grew lusty over you!" I caught my breath.
"You don't think…," I began, unable to finish the sentence.
At the wrong time, Kat finished for me with the last thing I wanted to hear: "That he has fallen in love with you, yeah, that's what I think!"
I gulped. I was to only lure him out, to make him make the first move. I only made it harder for my family. Guilt washed over me. I should have just gone with the other plan.
Ren looked at me with great concern. I smiled at him who in return showed off a sad smile.
"You should have gone with the other plan Kysa!" Austin sounded.
I turned toward him to scold him for bringing that up. Now I have no choice to tell Ren.
He looked at me confused. I took a breath and exhaled hesitantly. "That other plan was to be METICULOUS! That means exact. As in, I was thinking of doing EXACTLY like my mother did- Making appearances, causing havoc until he comes and tells me I'm a psychic duelist and so and so. But I noticed the risks of that and before I settled here I had a nightmare about that plan and it went so wrong I just had to make the plan of luring him out."
He nodded his head in understanding. "So what you're saying is that that this other plan was the one you were going to go with originally once you came here?"
I nodded my head, "the plan was called Meticulous, it was a plan my father made when the same duel gang attacked them, twice. All he had to do was wait for the right moment and he and my 3 uncles defeated them by the same tricks; my Uncle Crow going in as bait, Uncle Jack being captured and breaking out, Uncle Kalin talking to the leader face to face and my father controlling the members of the duel gang by disguising his voice to match the leader's, confusing them and making them go into a panic."
"Which came to be known as a Panic Attack, or War Panic, whichever is easier," Austin added.
"Your father has had many plans; I'm surprised he remembers them all." Ren said amazed.
I chucked lightly, "my father knows the enemy, by research and by experience. He'll make a plan designed to annihilate the enemy, no matter what or who they are, he always has a plan and plans to backup that plan and plans to go to if those plans backfire. If you ask me he's prepared for war."
"That I understand." Ren said smiling.
I smiled too.
Later that night, back at my hideout with the Key Long Colony and Gladiator, and with Ren: I couldn't believe how fast I fell asleep.
Night caressed the town in pitch black darkness. The moon shone through the clouds and a silhouette of a man appeared. In front of the man ran me and another woman with magenta hair "Come back! I love you, please be at my side. Please don't resist my darlings!" The man called.
"Back off Sayer." The woman with magenta hair called, "stay away from me and my family." I noticed now that she was my mother; Akiza!
The man reached for me. "Kysa, please love me. I'll make you happy. I'll take away all the pain. I'll make sure you will be respected of those of Neo Domino."
I swatted his hand away. I recognized him now: Sayer! "No, no I'll never love you, or allow you to have me, or my mother in the matter."
I quickened my pace. The ground started to glow red and embers started to ignite into infernos. I ran beside my mother, who in turn tried to keep away from Sayer' outstretched hand.
I felt a cold hand interlock with my own. He has me! I struggled to get out. The ground was now starting to have crimson spots all around. Blood! The spots became puddles then the puddles became puddles with a body placed in the center.
I couldn't help it. I cried as I ran by each one. Everything I saw connected to a family member and friend. Ahead I saw a house being conflagrated. It burned brighter than the surrounding infernos. As we got closer I saw two shadows form into two familiar bodies: FATHER, REN!
I wanted to call out but I couldn't. They lay motionless. The fire died down. After that I couldn't explain the scene.
"YUSEI," my mother called, tears falling from her delicate face.
I didn't understand why, but I called out, "REN," like my mother did to my father, full of love and terror.
Tears were brimming my eyes. I closed them and the tears fell.
I screamed!
"AHHH," I sat up. Not that dream again! I thought.
I place my legs close to my chest and lay my head on my knees. "What does that dream mean," I muttered.
"What does what mean?" A voice spoke up. I looked across the cavern to see Ren, ruffling his hair, "is something wrong Kysa?" He asked.
I couldn't lie to him, "a nightmare, that's all."
He looked at me like that wasn't the whole truth. In complete honesty I thought it was close enough.
I sighed and told him my dream, (avoiding the part I screamed his name, I can't die of embarrassment yet).
He thought about it. He got up and moved toward me. I moved over so he was lying beside me on the couch.
"How about I sleep with you, just so you can fall asleep," he said.
I didn't complain. He radiated heat and for some reason it got me sleepy. He smelled like cinnamon and vanilla, with a faint scent of strawberries. Last thing I knew is that I fell asleep in his arms.
*Author' Note: A cute little scene with Ren and Kysa hope it'll lighten up some people's days!
Anyway, tell me my mistakes and I will see you guys as soon as I can oh and chapter 10 is complete
