Entrance Me

1

I struggled to suppress a giggle as streams of scarlet coursed from my fingertips to my elbow to fall to the frozen ground below. It was burning hot, like your dark love Hidaka.

"I love your dark beauty, I love your dark love. Why did you go?" My laughter was going and was replaced with anger. "Why did you leave me Ken?" My voice was harsh to my ears but it held a strange, tranquil quality. I liked it. I looked down upon the eyes of Ken. His gaze staring at me, meeting my eyes with an emotionally devoid silence. He was judging me. He was mocking me. Lies. All lies.

"Shut up!" I screamed at him, but he didn't move. His eyes didn't move from mine and I could still hear his voice in my mind. I couldn't look away but a smirk replaced my anger. I would teach him. He would never mock me again, like he mocked me before.

The day was crisp, as befitting the days encrusted with the coming of winter. A chill wind blew a crimson lock into my face and I brushed it away with a gloved hand. I stood upon the grounds of the house, gazing at the tree floored horizon of scarlet, gold and rich brown. Simple tranquility. That's what I really searched for. I suppose I had received my wish to an extent.

I could hear the crunching of leaves approaching but I didn't turn to look who was behind me.

"Dinner's ready." It was Ken.

"I'll be there in a minute." I still didn't turn, I didn't want to. I didn't want to look away from the beauty of everything. I didn't feel like talking or being around anyone. Just alone. Ken still wasn't going. Instead he came a step closer. "What Hidaka?" The question sounded harsh, a glare coming upon my face but was shown only to the trees.

"N-nothing." There was silence and then the treading of feet through the leaves and away. Damn.

I kneeled beside Ken, resting a supportive hand upon the ground and holding my katana in the other. My head tilted as I looked upon him with a smile.

"Speechless Ken?" He was still looking at me. I wanted him to stop. I wanted him to stop, now. I held the weapon before his face, scant inches from his pallid face. "Come now Ken. Don't you want to play?" He didn't answer. "Answer me!" He was still silent. I slowly sliced his lips but blood didn't spill upon my waiting fingers. Only a sluggish trickle spilled across the creases in his lips. But he still didn't answer. He was hurt. I had hurt him.

Tears welled up in my eyes and my vision of Ken wavered. I had hurt him. I had been bad. Maybe if I was good he'd answer me. "Please Ken, I'll be good from now on. Please just answer me. I promise I'll be good..." The katana dropped from my hand and I sprawled across his limp body, sobbing now in anguish. But still he didn't answer me. I was starting to get angry. "I promised I would be good. Isn't that enough for you? Nothing I am or have is good enough for you! Shut up! I don't want to listen to you!" I was still lying across his chest, covering my ears with my blood stained hands. I didn't want to listen to his taunts.

Why did you do this to me Ran? Don't you love me anymore?
