Me: I have returned!
Kyo: Unfortunately.
Me: Don't be so rude Kyo. Tohru is in our presence (points at Tohru)
Kyo: So?
Me: Soooo, you LOVE her!
Kyo: (blushes furiously) No I don't like her!
Tohru: Hi guys!
Me: Tohru, Tohru, Kyo has a secret to tell you!
Tohru: What is it?
Me: Kyo has a crush on someone! Kyo is in love with -

Kyo: I'd like to bare my fangs at you if I had some. (Glares at EGP)
Me: Roll 'em!
Chapter Twelve
Rena's Dream
"He'll kill me when he finds out." Rena thought, cowering in the corner of the small, dark room. "He'll destroy me. I'm so scared…"
"Rena." A dark figure and an outline of a man walked into the room, holding a long object in his hand.
"M…Master?" Rena whimpered, bowing down before him on her knees like a servant.
"Good. You're bowing down to me like the slave wench you are." The man sneered. "Rena, you ran away from me again."
"Please Master, don't. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise. Just don't hurt me." Rena begged.
"I gave you this nice little room, Rena. Did I give you permission to abandon it?" The man ordered.
"…No Master, you didn't." Rena mumbled. "I gave you this room. I made this room just for you. And it hurts me to know you keep running away from it. It hurts me to know you're trying to hide from me." The man began.
"Sure, most night, I let you go home. But you are expected to return to me." The man got on his knees in front of Rena, crawling as close to her as possible.
"Do you hate it here? Do you hate me? Do you want to go far away? Are you trying to leave me? Are you becoming defiant?" The man whispered in Rena's ear with a wicked taunt, sending a chill down her spine
"Do you really think you can ever escape me? Do you think you can escape your fate and destiny?"
"N…No." Rena lied. "No Master, I don't. I'm not." "You're lying." The man stood up.
"All you do is lie, you ugly bitch! Is that all you can do wench? Lie and run? And hide? Huh? Or are you too afraid of my wrath to tell the truth? Is that it?"
"It looks like I'll have to remind you who you belong to and where your loyalties lie." The man sighed.
Rena's heart sank. "No! Please! Don't hit me! Please don't! I'm sorry!" Rena pleaded the man. "Sorry isn't good enough." The man snorted, raising the object in his hand.
Rena realized long ago that the object was her Master's favorite toy: A whip.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The rough whip came down hard on Rena again and again. "AAAAHHH! Please! Stop it! Stop it! Please!" Rena screamed in pain, curling up in a ball in the corner and holding her arms over her head while the whip came down on her.
"Why should I? You're an ugly little lying bitch! You deserve whatever I throw at you! Because you are a pathetic wretch!" The man snapped, his whip continuing to rain down on Rena without respite.
"You are my servant! You are my slave! You belong to me! You will do as I say and I will do with you as I please! You were given to me, remember? You are nothing more than a toy to me! And if I feel like beating you, then I will! I'm the Master and you're the Slave, not the other way around!"
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
"Stop it! I won't run away from you again! I promise I won't!" Rena yelped in pain, bawling uncontrollable from the sharp and painful impact her fragile body was enduring.
"Silence, bitch!" The man snorted.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
"Please! Itachi-sama!" Rena pleaded. The whip dropped from the man's hand and he slapped Rena across her face sharply, again striking her weak and wounded body.
"That name. Never call me that name. Do you understand? Never call me that name. Address me as Master and nothing else, wench!" The man snarled.
"Use my real name. My new name. Use the name of the one I serve to address me. Do not make that mistake again." The man walked to towards the door.
"If you die, it's all you fault. If you wouldn't run away, I wouldn't hit hardly as much as I do! If you would be a good girl, I wouldn't have to hurt you half as much! It'll be all your fault if you die! All yours! You hear me, yours!" The man yelled at Rena.
"The man walked to the door. "Now. Don't leave this room, you understand? Stay bitch. And don't even think about running away again. Don't make me have to track you down like the dog you are." The man left the room, locking the door and Rena within it.
Rena hugged her knees to her chest and shuddered. "Please, let me out!" Rena began crying all over again, meaning to scream it out, but her voice was just about gone from her previous beating.
"Torturing someone mentally, physically, and emotionally ruins them. Trapping someone in the dark like he does to you hurts, doesn't it?"
"Why do I have to do this? Why did they give me to him? Can't I be set free? Can't I find my way out of this dark hell, Inami? Can't you help me?"
"I'm powerless against your Master, Rena. It's your fate. You should try to embrace it and make the best out of it. Before your time runs out."
"This is all your fault! Why must I be dragged into this? What does he want with me anyway?"
"Rena, I'm really sorry. It's just – "
"Don't talk to me ever again! I hate your guts! I hate everything about you! You're the reason why he wants me dead! You're the reason why I'm a slave! You're the reason for everything! All you did was cause this problem! So if you can cause it, prove that you can stop it!" Rena yelled at her inner voice.
"Please, let me out of here! Let me out of this prison! Let me out! Please!" Rena banged on the doors, but only heard the man's wicked laughter.
Rena slumped to her knees, her miserable tears returning to her eyes.
"Please. I'm so desperate. Please, let me out."
End of Rena's Dream (More like nightmare though. Okay, you can now announcing that I am evil to my nice little muse. But I have my reasons)
Rena woke up in a cold sweat. "Damn. Why do I always have such horrible dreams every night?" Rena cursed under her breath, lying back down.
"I'm so glad Tohru's still okay though…I'd suffer 10 tens as much the pain just to make sure she's always safe."
--------------------
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Kyo turned over and groaned, trying to ignore his alarm clock.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Please. Just 5 more minutes." Kyo yawned.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Be quiet."
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Hush."
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Silence!
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Dammit, I said shut the hell up! I'm still sleepin'!" Kyo growled, grabbing the closest thing to him and trying to go back to sleep.
……………………………………………………..BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEP!!!
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr…ALRIGHT ALREADY, DAMMIT! I'LL GET UP!" Kyo yelled, opening his eyes.
Ah yes, our dearest Kyonkichi had indeed grabbed something.
But what he hadn't realized at the time was…
He didn't grab a pillow.
-Silence-
"…AYAME?!?!" Kyo screamed at the top of his lungs. "I'm glad to see you too, Shigure." Ayame murmured in his sleep. Wrapping his arms around Kyo.
(He's still dreaming and sleeping, remember.)
"You haven't been cheating on me, have you?" "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" Kyo yelled, jumped out of his bed. (More like mat)
"AND JUST WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CHEATING ON ME'? WHY WOULD YOU ASK SHIGURE SUCH A STUPID QUESTION?!"
"Oh. You heard me." Ayame yawned. "Don't worry about it, Lucky Kyo. Are the princesses okay?"
"Don't 'don't worry about it' me! Tell me! AND I TOLD YOU TO QUIT CALLING ME THAT!" K yo blared.
"Tooooooooohru-kun! What's for breakfast?" Kyo and Ayame heard Shigure asked the onigiri.
"Shigure! Breakfast!" Ayame ran out of Kyo's room. "Hey! Get back in here you bastard! You still haven't answered my question yet! HEY!" Kyo shouted after Ayame.
"I'm getting ready to make something right now!" Tohru called to Shigure from her room. She was dressed in her sailor dress school uniform and brushing her long dark brown hair.
"Rena-nee, it's time to get up! We have to go to school soon!" Tohru shook Rena.
"I'm coming…" Rena moaned, waking up a little. Tohru ran into the kitchen.
"Sensei! Oh Sen – sei!"
"Let the games begin." Shigure thought evilly, rubbing his hands together. "Yes?" Shigure answered the door."Oh, it's you, Mitsuru."
"Sensei, are you done with the 500 page manuscript for your new novel?" Mitsuru asked.
"Hmmm…Now that I think about it…I think…I lost it somewhere…" Shigure trailed off. "I don't think I remember very clearly where I last had it…No…Nope, I don't. Sorry Mitchan.
"SORRY?! THERE'S NO TIME TO BE SORRY SENSEI!!! THE DEADLINES TOMORROW!!!" Mitsuru cried.
"Hurry! You're got to get to work!" Mitsuru pushed Shigure to his room. "Not until I have breakfast!" Shigure turned around, causing Mitsuru to fall.
"But Sen – seiiii!" Mitsuru whined. "I can't think or write on an empty stomach." Shigure shrugged. "And besides, breakfast's the most important meal of the day!"
"Fine. But after that, you have to get started on the manuscript!" Mitsuru called after Shigure. "Promise me you will!"
"I will!" Shigure crossed his fingers. "Not." "Wow Tohru-kun! This breakfast looks delicious!" Ayame exclaimed.
"Yeah, nii-san's right. It does look very delicious." Yuki agreed with his older brother.
-Silence-
-More Silence-
"Yuki…You…You just called ne Nii-san! You're finally trying to meet me half way! At long last!" Ayame cried happily.
"Don't flatter yourself. I only called you nii-san once." Yuki's veins popped out of his head.
"Let's eat!" Shigure began to gobble down his food. "S'up everybody." Rena walked into the living room wearing a large whit T shirt, droopy socks, and her long black hair was EXTREMELY messy and dripping wet.
"What? Why are you all staring at me like that?" Rena inquired. "Aren't you going to school with us?" Yuki asked. "Yeah." Rena replied.
"Well then get dressed stupid!" Kyo snapped. "Relax. I just got out the shower. I just needed something to throw on real quick so that I could say good morning." Rena snapped her fingers.
("You could've said hi after you got dressed." Kyo muttered.)
Suddenly, Rena's outfit changed and she was dressed in a girl's school sailor dress uniform, only instead of it being blue, it was black.
"There. You happy now, Mr. Negativity?" Rena sat down next to Yuki. "No." Kyo retorted. "But I'll be happy when you leave."
"Hey Yuki, do you want some cheese?" Rena asked , ignoring Kyo and offering Yuki some of the cheese on the table.
"No thank you." Yuki replied. "But why?" Rena asked. "Because I hate cheese." Yuki answered.
"But you're a mouse! You're supposed to like cheese! Just like Jerry from Tom and Jerry does!" Rena exclaimed.
"Ironic, isn't it? Yuki's a house mouse that doesn't like cheese." "I'm not a mouse. I'm a rat." Yuki corrected.
"What's the difference?" Kyo sneered. "Well, if you asked me, ("Which I didn't." Kyo muttered while Rena was talking) mice are way cuter than rats. Rats are totally disgusting. I mean, they have long ugly red tail and long ugly yellow teeth! And filthy, stinky, dark fur! How gross!" Rena shuddered at the thought.
Yuki's left eyebrow twitched in anger and irritation while his vein popped out of his head.
"What wrong Yuki? Did I say something to offend you? Did I – " Rena stopped.
It hit Rena finally.
HARD!
-Silence- (Everyone pauses and turned into little white stick like figures like they do in the anime and manga)
Rena anime fell before quickly recovering and sitting back up and apologizing. "Oh no! Yuki's a rat!" Rena screamed mentally.
"Oh n-no, I m-mean, not you of course Yuki-kun! You're the cutest thing I've ever saw! Yep, as cute as a button! You're the most adorable rat I've ever seen! You're really cute! And clean! And nice! And non yellow teethed and non ugly red tailed! And you're fur's just so slick and clean! You're well groomed too! You're the best rat I've ever met! Mm-hm, the best!" Rena added very quickly, sweat dropping and laughing nervously.
"Save it." Yuki's vein began to throb angrily as he took a sip of his green tea. All Kyo could do was crack up laughing.
"Silence, you stupid cat!" Yuki hissed. "I'm so sorry, Yuki. Really I am." Rena apologized. "I feel like I've done I horrible thing. I didn't mean to offend you. I forgot that you were a rat. But really, you are a very cute and adorable rat, if that makes you feel any better. Oh, I'm so horrible…"
"No, you're terrific!" Kyo exclaimed. "You were telling the downright truth!" "Say the magic word and I'll forgive you." Yuki said to Rena, irritated with Kyo's laughter.
"Sorry Kyo, but Yuki told me to do it, so forgive me. Crash boy." Rena commanded.
CRASH!
"Ow.." Kyo twitched in pain. "You won't listen to me, but you'll listen to Rat Boy over here?"
"That's the way it goes, pretty much." Yuki replied. "He's Ame-nii's little brother, so then he's Yuki-nii to me. Yuki's like a second brother to me. What else could I have done?" Rena shrugged.
"YOU COULD'VE NOT LET THAT DAMN RAT AND SNAKE BRAIN WASH YOU!!!" Kyo raged. "Ow…I think that crash threw out my back…Ouch…"
"Poor Kyo." Shigure shook his head. "Poor, poor Kyo. I share my sympathy." "Shut up Shigure." Kyo growled.
"So much hatred flowing through the air…So much violent…" Ayame shook his head in shame.
"AND SOME OF IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!!!" Yuki and Kyo chorused.
Me: That was nice, right? I kinda stopped so that all the really funny stuff would happen in the next few chapters.
SWD: Great. Now you have even MORE chapters!
Me: That's only because I'm trying to catch up to you! You have 20 stories and I want to have more stories that you! I've already got about15! (I haven't posted them all yet)
SWD: So?
Kyo: This isn't a chat room, so end the chapter!
Me: (stares at Kyo) …..R…e…a…d…
Kyo: STOP SOUNDING IT OUT!
Me: But I'm trying to take up room.
Kyo: No you ain't! Read and review please!
Me: You're so mean.
