Hidden Desire's Told
By: DeathSythe Hell
Chapter One
It was a bright and sunny day in the Ronin mansion. Ryo was out at the park with Mel, playing soccer. Kento and Erica were out somewhere. Ash got Cye to take her to the mall. Rowen, Tracy, and Kaci were outside squirting each other with water. Each one of them had a hose and used to the extent. Sage was quietly standing on the third floor balcony door, which led to his room. He stood there watching the three soak each other, making sure not to be seen.
"God she's beautiful," Sage thought, fixing his gaze on Kaci. "God I want her but she would never go for a guy like me. Most likely, she likes me as a friend. If only there was a way I could tell you how I feel about you."
Laughter filled the outdoors as Tracy and Kaci decided to gang up on a helpless Rowen. Sage started laughing at Rowen being beaten by two girls. Kaci herd the familiar laugh and looked up to see Sage on the balcony. "Hey Sage! Come down and join the fun," she yelled.
"Sorry but I don't play childish games, thanks anyway."
"Childish huh! ," Kaci said with an evil grin. "Childish my ass," she said while soaking Sage on the balcony. Sage jumped off the balcony and ran after Kaci, who dropped the hose and ran like hell. Sage decided to grab the hose and get pay back. Kaci managed to escape until Rowen grabbed her and held her down. Sage took this chance to get her back.
"Hey that's not fair," Tracy screamed, while jumping on Rowen's back.
"Oh no you don't! ," Sage ran over to try to pry Tracy off of her boyfriends back, but his efforts were futile. Instead they all fell into a puddle of mud.
"Tracy, Sage, can the two of you get off of my back."
"Can you all get off of mine?! ," Kaci yelled from underneath Rowen.
After getting off of each other, they looked at themselves and then at each other, laughing. They were so dirty and everybody was soaked, but they just laughed.
Later on, that night the two men and the two girls sat in the living room with the other six people. The boys were quietly talking amongst themselves, talking about their day. Meanwhile the girls were watching "Will and Grace," they were hysterically laughing. Then yet, all they do is laugh. That could be because the girls act like clowns but it is also because they are in peace. With no war there is peace, with peace there is lots of laughter and that's how it should be.
Chapter Two
It was a dark and foggy night and Kaci was walking home. The fog was so thick that Kaci couldn't see her hands, let alone where she was going. All of a sudden she herd a noise near by. It sounded like there was a struggle. Kaci followed the noise to see what was going on. "You're going to die boy! ," One man yelled. "No, not until I find my friend and get her home, safe," another man hollered. The second voice was so familiar. "Could it be? ," Kaci thought. Kaci walked through the area where the voices were. Her heart sank with the sight that greeted her. There weren't two men, but six. Three of the men were holding one man down and the other two stood in front of the four. Both were armed with long, sharp butcher knives. Kaci recognized the man being held down, "Sage! ," She screamed. One of the men tossed the knife to his partner and ran toward Kaci. "Kaci RUN!!!," Sage yelled. But before Kaci could move, the man grabbed a hold of her and threw her to the ground.
"Get away from her! ," Sage screamed.
"Don't worry we will, after we have our way with her."
"Don't you dare touch her!"
"It's not the girl you should be worrying about. Considering that first we're gonna rip open your chest, snap a couple of ribs, and slice your throat. We'll make it deep enough for you to die slowly. While you die, you will see if your girl can take in five grown men with your blood smothered all over her. Shortly after we're done, she'll die too."
"You sick bastard!"
The man walked over to Sage. "Now it begins," he said cooly. He took one of the knives and jabbed it into Sage's chest, sliding it diagonally across. Sage screamed in pain as the man proceeded.
"SAGE NO! ," Kaci screamed and shot up from her bed. She looked at her surroundings and realized she was in her room. The clock shown 6:00 a.m. "What a horrible nightmare, "she sighed. "I need to get some air." Kaci got up and went to the balcony she shared with Sage, their rooms were right next to each other. She looked down from the balcony and saw Sage. Sage has gone outside to practice with his sword. He saw every move as right or wrong and nothing in between. Sweat ran down his shirtless body. "He's so muscular, so angelic, so handsome... God he's HOT." Kaci moved closer to the end of the balcony. She noticed that every move he made was accurate, and all mistakes were avoided. "HMN . . . could he avoid a surprise attack or be killed like in my dream. Let's find out." Kaci went back into her room and came back out with a no-datchi like the one Sage was using. She was dressed in a white tank top and dark-blue dojo pants. "Let's see if he can survive against me," Kaci's eye's narrowed and she jumped off the balcony. Her sword aimed at the back of Sage's neck. Will he block Kaci's attack?
Chapter Three

Sage herd something behind him and turned around only to have a huge sword be five millimeters away from his face. He stood there in disbelief. "K-Kaci?"
"Yeah it's me. Stuttering, are we? ," She replied.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Kaci withdrew her sword, "I just wanted to see if you can handle a surprise attack. Now I see that you can't, now let's just see if you can recover for from one." Kaci swung the sword at Sage so fast that he could barely dodge it. Sage countered her attack and went at her full fledged. The swords hit against each other each time. Both of them blocking each move that the other makes. Finally with one big blow, Kaci managed to knocked Sage's no-datchi out of his hand. Then with her sword, she charged toward Sage. But Sage was too swift. He dodged her attack just enough for the sword to miss him and took a chance to grab Kaci's wrist. With that he brought her close to his body. She was practically on him. Sage looked deeply into Kaci's eyes and then he gave her a long, hard, and passionate kiss. Kaci felt him get hard against her. She was in total shock, so in shock that she dropped her sword. Sage stopped the kiss and looked at Kaci, who was wide eyed. Sage simply just let her go, picked up both no-datchi's and went back inside. Kaci watched with both eyes still wide and eventually followed him inside.
Inside the house, Kaci went to go look for Sage, to talk to him. Then she noticed he was in the shower. So casually, Kaci went back inside her room. In her room, she sat down in front of her dresser mirror. Looking into the mirror, she touches her lips, "What does he see in me? Does he even like me? ," She thought. But her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in!" To her relief Tracy walked into the room. "What's up?," Kaci asks.
"Me and the others are going to the mall and then dinner and a movie. You wanna come?"
"No thanks, I think I'm gonna stay home."
"Are you sure? Do you want me to stay with you?"
"No Tracy, you don't need to stay. I just need some time alone."
"Are you mad at me?"
"Where the hell did that come from?! I'm not mad at you. You're my best friend. I could never be mad at you, silly."
"Ok, I hope you'll be ok."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine! ," Tracy nodded and left the room. A few minutes later, Kaci went out to take a shower herself. At the same time she bumped into Sage. "Oh, um, hi," she said uneasily.
"Hi," Sage replied as Kaci started to walk away. "Kaci?" She stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "Are you a virgin?"
"Y-Yes," she hesitated, "why?"
"No reason." Kaci, uneasily, shrugged the question off and continued to go to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Sage headed to his room so he could rest and plan for an unsuspecting young lady. What exactly is Sage planning?
Chapter Five

The next day was very odd. For some apparent reason, Kaci was avoiding everyone today. Kaci decided to get something to eat while everyone was upstairs. She sat down at the kitchen table, by herself, eating a bowel of Fruity Pebble's, feeling very sore from the night before. Kaci began to eat her cereal, when a tall, slender man walked in.
"Hello Kaci," a soft but intimidating voice said.
Kaci nearly jumped in fear. "S-Sage," she stuttered. "H-Hello."
"What's the madder? Why so jumpy? ," Sage asks, while becoming very concerned. Sage put a hand on Kaci's shoulder. Kaci tensed up at his touch.
"N-Nothing's wrong!" Sage embraced her in a kiss, but the kiss was broken when Kaci pulled away. "I don't really feel well. I'm going to go upstairs and rest," as soon as she finished her sentence, Kaci ran up to her room.
In her bedroom, Kaci made sure to lock both her bedroom door and her balcony door. Laying down on her bed, Kaci thought about what happened to her last night. 'What am I going to do?' Kaci thought as she recalls the most painful but the most sensational time of her life. 'Did I do the right thing last night? Should I have pushed him away and throw him out of my room?' So many questions plagued her mind. 'But why did he choose me and put me through all that? Does he even love me or did he just say that just . . . just to get into me?' At this point, Kaci was so confused and felt so alone. A single tear slid down her face, which led to another tear and another. Kaci sobbed quietly on her bed. Then a small knock came at the door.
Kaci walked to her door, "Who is it?"
"It's me Tracy and Ash! Can we come in? ," Tracy asked from the other side of the door.
"Are you both alone?"
"Yeah, we're alone," Ash replied.
Kaci opened the door and let the two in, wiping the tears from her eye's. She closed the door and locked it again. Not daring to look at her friends, Kaci returned to her bed and laid down.
"Kaci?! What's wrong? ," Ashley asked softly. Kaci broke down uncontrollably into tears. Tracy and Ash rushed to their best friend's side. "Kaci please tell us what's wrong. Did something happen between you and Sage when we left yesterday?" Kaci shook her head yes, indicating that something did happen. "What happened between the two of you?"
"He ... he ... ," Kaci's voice trailed off.
"What happened?," Ash almost demanded.
"He seduced me," Kaci replied in a low toned voice, tears streaming down her cheeks. Both Ashley and Tracy gasped at what they just herd.
"So he rapped you?," Tracy asked, keeping her voice low and soft.
"No, he didn't rape me."
"Then what's the madder?," Tracy asked curiously.
"I wasn't ready for him. I wanted him but I wasn't ready for him. And ... and ...," Kaci's voice trailed off again as she started to cry. Tracy and Ashley did what they could do to calm Kaci down. Meanwhile, outside Kaci's bedroom door, Sage stood listening to their whole conversation.
"Oh god, Kaci. What have I done to you?," Sage whispered to himself. "I knew I should have waited." Sage became so furious with himself. He then decided to run out of the house to god knows where.
What's going to happen to Sage and Kaci? What knew problem's will show up?
Chapter six
"Sage! Wait! Where are you going?!," Rowen yelled after his friend, who headed for the entrance to the forest.
"I can't stay here! Tell Kaci I'm sorry! ," Sage replied as he disappeared into the forest. Intern, Rowen ran into the house and went to Kaci's room.
" KACI! KACI! Please, open the door!"
Kaci wiped some tears out of her eye's and opened the door. "What's wrong Rowen?"
"It's Sage! He was crying and he ran into the woods. He told me to tell you he's sorry."
"Do you know where he went?"
"Hello! I said he went into the WOODS!"
"Thanks!," with that Kaci ran out of the house in search for Sage.
"I'll come with you!," Rowen said before he was stopped. He turned around to see Tracy and Ashley.
"Let her go. She and Sage need to sort stuff out," Tracy implied.
Meanwhile, deep in the eastern part of the forest, that led to a park, Sage sat.
"Why didn't I wait?," He cried.
"I don't know, why didn't you wait?" Sage turned around to see a tall muscular man, faced to face with him.
"Look, I don't want any trouble," Sage pleaded.
"Did I say I didn't want any trouble?" Sage began to stutter a few words. " Look boys, this pal thinks I don't want any trouble." Just then, five other men showed their faces. "Get 'em boys!" Before Sage could get into his fighting stance, the men grabbed a hold of him. Their grasps were so strong that not even Kento could break free. "You know what I like to do for fun, blonde?" Sage's only response was the grinding of his teeth. "I like to kill people. People like you. A lot of people come around here to this spot and they're all good looking people who dwell on life. They're a bunch of good for nothings, if you ask me. I get such a great satisfaction from plucking someone like you off the face of this earth."
"How do you get pleasure from such a horrible thing?"
"Why shouldn't I, blonde? To me, killing someone just means one less loser on this planet. The best thing about this is, I never get caught," The said as he steadied a gun toward Sage. "Now it's time for you to die."
Near the park, at the end of the forest, Kaci stood, "Sage, where are you?," She asked herself.
"You'll never get away with this, my friends will make sure that you're brought to justice," A man's voice sounded through the forest.
"I'd know that voice anywhere!," Kaci said to herself as she ran to where the voice came from.
"You're wrong blonde. I can get away with anything!," The man reassured. Just then, as the man continued to talk, Kaci showed up.
She gasped at the sight. "Oh no! It's the men from my dream," She thought.
"Goodbye, blonde." The man set trigger, to get ready to shoot. Then other men pushed Sage down, to his knee's and the gun was aimed to his head.
"Sage! N-NO!," Kaci screamed as she ran in between Sage and the gun. The man fired five shot's in a row, but they were blocked by Kaci, who took all five shots to her stomach and leg.
"KACI!!," Sage broke free from the other men. Running over to Kaci, Sage gently picked her up. "Kaci, honey, speak to me," Sage's voice shook as a few tears made their way, down his cheek's.
"Sage, I l-love y-you," Kaci managed say before everything went black.
"Kaci? ... KACI! Please don't leave me. Please hold on just a little longer. Please I beg you ... hold on," Sage pleaded as time was running out. Time was running out fast.

What's going to happen to Kaci? Will she live or die?
