Chapter Four: Shocking Truth
Lita ran down the stairs of her new home while putting on a loose shirt. She ran passed Rowen and Kento and headed straight for the training room. She had received something she had lost a long time ago and She wanted to know if he still remembered her. Yet how was she going to face him. She had come to here not remembering him and to top it off she was caring someone else's child. When she heard voices in the training room she slowed down and when she was about to open the door she stopped when she heard. "Ryo cool it! You're making this place hot!"
"Sorry." Came a quiet voice.
"Is anything wrong Ryo?" She heard Cye's voice.
There was a moment of silence before Ryo decided to say anything. "I received something yesterday night."
"What is it?" Sage's voice was heard.
"You guys are going to think its weird but MY memories of the silver millennium. I was reading her diary and when I finished everything came back to me. I have a sister her name is Rei and Makoto…I mean Lita and I were to be married but her mother engaged her to someone else. It's all kinda really strange but it seems all real but what really threw me off is she's pregnant."
There was another silence.
"Do you think she has a lover?"
Lita stepped back when she heard the response. "Yes I do, that's why I won't say anything to her about this."
'How could he think that?' Her mind screamed. 'After all those things…how could he?'
"Lita?" A worried voice from behind brought her back to reality. She turned around to see Yuli and Rowen stand in front of her. She quickly blinked the tears back but wasn't quick enough for Rowen. He frowned at her worriedly. "Lita are you okay?"
"Lita is something wrong?" Ryo asked from behind her.
Lita turned to face him. He was standing there with Sage and Cye behind her. She guessed he had heard Rowen's voice. Lita looked at Ryo in the eye debating on standing her ground or running away. She chose to stand her ground. "Do you really think that?" She asked shyly. Not wanting him to think she spied on their conversation. The question caught him off guard. He looked at her with wide eyes. "What do you mean?" He asked trying to sound calm. He knew she had heard him and from the way she was acting he knew she remembered.
Lita looked at him for a while wanting the others to go away just for a moment. She didn't want them around at this minute but she had no choice. "I was walking down here to find you. I wanted to ask you something but I kind of over heard your conversation." She stepped closer to him. "Is that what you believe?"
Ryo looked at her a bit surprised that she would ask that question. He looked away from her for a moment before he asked in a low voice. "Well, what else do you expect me to believe?" he paused. "You appear out of no where and to top it off your pregnant. You don't let any of us touch you! You're acting as if you're hiding something Mako!" He spoke strongly calling her by the name he knew her best. "What is so important that you're keeping from me? You promised."
Lita didn't want to hear this any more. She closed her eyes and made her right hand lash out and it hit Ryo in the face. "Shut up!" She screamed, gaining everyone's surprise gaze especially Ryo's. "Just shut up Ryo!" She opened her eyes to glare at him. "You don't know anything so don't assume anything! If I'm hiding something from you then that's my damn business. I do HAVE the rights to keep things to myself and if I don't want ANY of you touching me its my damn business also." She glared at him as she panted and tears ran down her face. "I should I have never came here. Your just like the others." With that said she turned away from him and ran. She had wasted her time trying to talk to him. She wanted to get out of here. Her wish was to go to somewhere no one knew her but she seems to get the opposite. She was brought to where her lover and his friends were. God she hated this.
Ryo frowned as he watch Lita run away from him. Something was wrong and he was going to find out. Lita was very dear to him and he would be damned if something bad had happened to her and she was hiding it from him. Without warning he ran after Lita leaving four surprised guys behind.
"Ryo!" Cye called after him but didn't received anything from the raven-haired man as he ran away. Cye sighed and shook his head.
Rowen and Yuli looked at Sage and Cye questionally. Sage sighed as he noticed the look. "We'll explain everything later. What were you guys doing here anyway? Yuli weren't you suppose to leave an hour ago?"
Yuli laughed nervously. "I know but I couldn't leave. Please let me stay until Lita has her baby. Please!" Yuli begged as he looked at the men around him.
"Only if you call your parents and tell them." Cye answered.
"Yay!" Yuli smiled brightly. He really wanted to see if Lita would have a girl or a boy. "Oh Mia told us to come and get you because Lunch is ready."
"Well, lets get going before Kento polishes everything." Sage spoke as he sighed. He was amazed at how much his friend ate and still maintained a fit body. Cye chuckled while Rowen rolled his eyes as they walked towards the house.
Ryo looked around in the forest but he didn't see Lita. He quickly picked up his pace as he looked around for her. "Lita!" He yelled. He didn't want her mad at him. That was the last thing he ever wanted. He sighed and stopped at a tree. He remembered the last time she was angry with him. She didn't talk to him for a full day. He knew that right now Lita shouldn't be alone. She needed someone with her. He wondered why she was here without the others?
"Ryo?" A voice called.
Ryo looked up surprised to see Lita sitting on a tree branch. "Lita what are you doing up there?" He gasped. "Get down." He said more firmly.
Lita sighed. Sometimes this man was just to protective of her but she wouldn't have it any other way. "Ok, but if I fall then its your fault." She giggled when she watched his eyes grow wide. "I was just kidding."
"How did you get up there anyway?" He repeated his question as he looked up at her.
"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't do things anymore." She spoke calmly before she hopped off. Ryo, eyes widen, rushed to catch her. When she landed on her feet she winced slightly and looked into angry blue eyes. "What is the matter with you?" Ryo asked.
"Ryo please." Lita whispered as she looked down. "Just hold me. Please." She buried her face in the crook of his neck and sighed when she felt his arms around her. "I'm so sorry Ryo. I didn't mean to hit you. You have every right to know what happened and why the others are not with me. I…I just got so mad at myself and the things you said I didn't want to hear it…I put it all on…"
"Lita its ok." Ryo whispered in her ear. "It's okay. Just tell me when you want to." He placed his hand on her head while the other arm protectively went around her. "Don't cry." He whispered to her gently when he felt his neck get wet.
Hearing his gentle voice again just made Lita cry harder. God she had missed him so much. Her arms around his neck tightened as her sobs became louder. "I missed you so much Ryo!" She cried.
"I know I missed you too."
They both stood there in each other's embrace until Lita stopped crying. She slightly pulled away from his arms enough to be able to see his face. She smiled at him and he returned it.
Ryo leaned down slightly and kissed her lips softly. As he kissed her Lita flinched as she remembered the night she was raped and Ryo stopped when he felt it. He looked at her worried. "What is it?"
Lita looked away from his eyes not knowing how to tell him. Ryo frowned a little and lifted her head up so they could be eye to eye. "Don't lie to me please." He whispered. "If you want me to know tell me the truth." He brushed her bangs away from her eyes. "Don't give me lies."
"Ryo I…" Lita stopped. How was she going to say this? She closed her eyes tightly and looked away. "I was raped." She whispered but in Ryo's ears it was more of a scream. He looked down at her with different kind of emotions going through him. The thought of her being raped wasn't even close to his mind at all. He thought she would have said something else but never that. "W-what?" He asked.
Tears started to form in her eyes again. "I was raped Ryo. That's why I'm pregnant. That's the only reason why."
He now understood everything. The nightmares, the distance, everything. He held her closer to him as he buried his face in her hair. "Oh god. Lita I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." He whispered. He's eyes became slights as he thought of the person who did this. Whoever he was, he was going to pay greatly. He took her virginity without permission. This man was going to pay dearly. "Who did it?" He asked his voice was shaking with hatred.
"Ryo…"
"Who did it Mako?" He used the millennium name she used to carry again. He looked at her.
"Darien."
"Who?"
"Endymion, Ryo. It was Endymion." She used the name he knew and she watched his eyes grow wide in disbelieve. "He's name now it Darien."
"It can't be."
"Ryo, I swear I wouldn't lie to you." She pleaded with him. She knew they were both close. Almost like brothers.
Ryo looked back at Lita. He saw the pleading look for him to trust her. And gave her a brief smile of assurance and took her hand in his. "Don't worry Mako. Things will work out." He told her reassuringly and kissed her forehead. 'Darien, you'll pay for this. How could you do this to me? Her? Us? Oh god, you'll pay.'
"Ryo, I need to lay down." Lita whispered to him.
He nodded and took her in his arms before he walked towards their house. How could all this happened? 'I wonder if the girls know? Knowing Lita she probably left without a word.'
When Ryo reached the house Lita was already asleep. Ryo had to kick the door three times to knock so he wouldn't have to use his hand.
"Ryo?" Kento asked as he opened the door. "What happened?"
"Nothing," He answered as he passed by Kento. "Gather everyone up in the leaving room." Ryo quickly gave orders as he climbed up the stairs.
The other man frowned as he looked at his friend. "Something must have happened." He whispered to know one before he went to accomplish he's leader's orders.
Ryo gently placed Lita on her bed and sat down on the edge of it. "Lita," He whispered. "I'm so sorry." He staid with her and after a while he stood up and left the room. He met everyone downstairs alert and worried. "We need to talk about Lita." Ryo said as he stopped Rowen from talking. "I just found out something."
Sage raised an eyebrow. "What is it now?" He asked in a soft yet curious voice.
Ryo sighed as he looked down at the carpet. He had taken his seat next to Yuli and Mia. He himself couldn't say it but he knew he had to tell them. They were going to receive their memories too, he knew that and even if he didn't tell them they would find out sooner or later.
"Ryo…" Cye started
"She was raped." Ryo quickly said what he needed to say and prayed they all heard it because he didn't know if he could repeat it.
The room was silent as everyone had the look of shock on there face. No wonder she was pregnant, was the thought that ran through there minds 'cause the deliberation of a sixteen year old pregnant didn't make any sense to them. Mia looked at Ryo and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Ryo it's ok." She whispered. She knew if he had read the diary something would have sparked in his mind. But the person she really felt sorry for was Lita.
"When she wakes up," He started as he silently thanked Mia. "Don't give her any clue that you know, ok?"
They all agreed to it.
Kento frowned as he noticed Ryo's behavior towards Lita. "Ryo, why are you so worried about Lita?"
He looked straight into his friend's eyes. "Because I love her Kento. I remember everything." He smiled slightly. "And soon you will too."
