Renge Reborn Chapter 8: Memories. Another soul within
Disclaimer: I am not making a profit or anything out of this. And yes, I am writing this because I have something to do with Renge. She belongs to someone else, but I would love to own her because she is cute. AND I AM NOT Yuri. And the above are just what I want to call an "Original" Disclaimer. And I know it sucks.

means the voice in Renge's heart
----------The Kobashi Orphanage Garden----------
Beautiful, sweet, and innocent. That was what Teru would use to describe Renge before she enters high school. Now, it would be 'Sad, confused, and worried,' he thought, as he looks out of his office window to see the little princess sitting next to the rose bushes, starring at them as if they would be gone tomorrow.
Renge sat there, and stared at the roses. She spotted one with thorns on them, and, as usual, with the lift of her finger, she touches it and all the thorns falls off, making it perfect like the other thorn less roses.
"Kurei.. .. . He said. . . He said that his name is Kurei. .. . Is he. .. .. Is he the Kurei I've been looking for? The Kurei with the answers to my past? The Kurei. . .
'Why? . . . Why did I cry? Why was I so upset about my unknown past? The past that I had stopped searching for a long time ago. The past, which I don't mind putting down. I am Renge Kobashi. And I am happy to be Renge Kobashi of the Orphanage, so why the change now? Why the sudden interest in my past?
'Because I don't want to love someone until I get my past straight. I feel that I have no right to love if I don't know how I am. If I don't know who I am, how is the one who love me supposed to know? And if I don't love my past, how can I expect the one I love to love it?'
"I. . ." Renge whispered to the roses. "I. . . I think I am in love with Tokiya. . ."
No you are not. . . A silent voice whispered into her ears. Renge, shocked from it, jumped up, and look around her. Who. . .. Where is that voice coming from?
Within your heart, it whispered again I live in your heart. . .
"Who. . . Who are you?" Renge shouted, to no one. The garden was empty, and as the heavy black clouds over her darken, rain falls onto her, but she did not take shelter, she just stood there, looking around.
Who. . . Am I? I am. . . You
Suddenly, the heartaches came to Renge once more. The pain, the . .. ..
Dream?
Now that the acute pain in her head had stopped, she was in a sunny garden, in front of a big mansion. The place was lovely. The garden was surrounded by rose. There, in the middle of the roses, there was a little pavilion. And inside the pavilion, a tea party was set for two. The table was laid with cookies and tea.
"This is strange. This is all so strange. What is going on?" She asked.
Just our meeting. . . The voice called out again, but this time, it seems to be coming from behind her. Renge turned, and saw a mirror image of her. The girl she faced look like her, only the clothes differ and she has no markings on her face.
"You are. .. . Me?" Renge asked.
In a strange way, yes. The girl answered. She did not move her mouth. The words just appear in Renge's heart, and she heard it from her heart.
When I was alive, before you, I was called Kurenai
"You. . . You are . . . Kurenai? The person who is on control of my dreams?"
In a funny way, ye She answered and walked towards the pavilion Want to join me for tea?
Renge followed Kurenai's lead into the pavilion. Her heart skips every few steps.
I want to finish. . . Kurenai said, after she took a slip of her tea. The story between Kurei and me. . . You already know Then I will tell you. . . Your past
Slowly, Kurenai reached out to Renge's forehead, and placed two fingers on her. She closed her eyes, and images seems to fill Renge's mind. . .
++++++++++ Flash Back++++++++++
"Kurei!" Kurenai shouted over the garden. Kurei turned and face her, and a rare smile came onto his face. He ran towards her, and stops in front of her, starring at her.
"What's the matter, my love?" He asked, as he held her hand in his, and brings it up to his lips.
"Nothing. I just, missed you. . ." Kurenai answered. I just, wanted to see you. . . You live in the other side of the mansion, so there is no way I can meet you at my place. . ."
"I know. . . But, as Raiha said before, you shouldn't come here too often. Mori will catch you here one day, and he may not allow us to meet again."
"I know, I know!" Kurenai said. "But I don't care, why are we so close, yet so far away from each other?" She asked, and hugged Kurei.
Kurei wanted to hug her back, but before he could, Raiha came running to the garden.
"Kurei-sama! Kurei-sama! Mori-sama is here!"
"What?" Kurei said, shocked, and pushed Kurenai away. "Be careful." He told Kurenai, and walked out to greet his 'father'.
"You too. . ." She whispered and she followed behind.
"Kurei! My precious son!" Mori said, as he entered the mansion, which belongs to Kurei. He came prepared, with an envelop of some kind. "Ah! And Kurenai, I see that you are here, again."
"Greetings, Otosan." Kurenai said.
"A girl shouldn't come over to a boy's place so often, you know? It's bad for her reputation." Mori said.
"Kurenai don't come here often!" Kurei hurried to explain. "She got lose in the garden by accident."
"Silences!" Mori shouted. He looks at Kurei with malice. "You think I am blind? You think that I am sleeping all this while?" He said, and opens the envelope he held. There were photos. Photos of Kurei and Kurenai holding hands, laughing together, kissing.. .
"I hold what is going on! I know! Guards! Hit him!"
"No!!!" Kurenai screamed, as two hit man went up to Kurei, pin him down, and started hitting him. Another two guards held onto Kurenai, to stop her from going near Kurei.
"Kurei! Kurei!" Kurenai screamed as she cries. "Stop it!"
Mori took a step next to Kurei, and hit him hard on the head. "Kurei! Didn't I tell you before? You are just a machine! You don't need love. You have to forget all feelings!
"Stop it! Please Mori-sama!" Raiha tried to stop them, but two other guards held him himself on.
"Shut up, Raiha! Kurenai is my adopted daughter! I can do whatever I want with her! I can let them fall in love, if I want. . ."
At this point Kurenai finally twisted herself out f the guards' arms. She rushed up to Kurei, and hugged him, dearly.
"Please. . ." She pleased. "If you have to continue hitting. . . Hit me! Don't hit him!"
'Kurenai. . .' Kurei thought. "I must protect you.'
With all his might, Kurei pushed Kurenai away, and told Mori, with no emotions " Why are you saying all this for? I have lost all my feelings! What ever happen to this girl has nothing to do with me!"
Mori waked into the shadow, still laughing maliciously. "Since this girl who saw your first smile means nothing to you, I want you to kill her! Hahahaha!!! Quick" He shouted at a shocked Kurei. "Do it!"
Kurei was lost. He was in a blank. . .
Mori, satisfied with Kurei's lost look, finally stop laughing and said, " It's okay if you can't do it. This is actually training! In order to make you loyal to me. Do you know why I place Kurenai in a place near yours? Actually, she is just a tool for me to get rid of the little emotions left hidden within you!" With that, he took a little controller out. He shows it to Kurei. "Look at this! You should be able to remember the little machine I installed in your mother's body? Think it's about time to test it! But, of course, the test subject will not be her. . ."
As if it were in slow motion, Kurei saw Mori press the button, and before him, Kurenai's chest exploded. Although all this happened within a second, it was a slow, killing move to him.
"Kurenai! Kurenai!" Kurei screamed, and held her in his arms "Kurenai! Open you eyes!"
Slowly, with all the strength left in her, Kurenai raised up a hand, which Kurei took in his.
"Kurei. . . I don't want to be. . . a beautiful. . . yet short-lived rose. . . even if. . . I turn out uglier. . . it's okay to me. . . as long as. . . as long as I can stay beside you. . .Be with. . . the gentle you. . ."
With that Kurenai breathe her last breath. She hand falls out of Kurei's and landed motionless in the ground.
Mori was glad to see all this, " Are you happy now, Kurei?" Didn't you say she meant nothing to you? I did you a flavor! I help you get rid of her! Than me!"
A voice called in Kurei's head. . . The cursed flame. . . Kurei understood. He stood up, and calls upon his flame. The flame he had never really used. The guards where shocked, as no long knew Kurei had this power.
Kurei spoke, with little emotions, " I will grant your wish now, Kurenai. . . Even if you have left the human path. . ." His flame wrapped Kurenai's body. "We can still. . . Be together. . ."
Slowly, the purple flame surrounds Kurenai, and wings appear behind her. She was slowly changing. . .
"Forget your human form. . ." He said. And before everyone, Kurenai woke up again, but she is no longer human. She is. . . a flame.
"Now that you are part of my cursed flame, and became my flame angel, let us exchange! Burn this face, which had caused you to lose your precious life! From now on, the emotionless mask shall be my face and we, will never be separated again. We will be together with each other. . .. Forever. . .. "
++++++++++Flash back++++++++++
Now, do you understand who I am? Kurenai asked, as she lifts her fingers away from Renge's head.
Renge knocked her head, and sat there in silences.
Author's note: Well, Renge likes Tokiya, but Tokiya likes Fuuko, and what will Renge feel after she heard what Kurenai told her? And what about Kurenai? Why did she say that she's Renge's past? Till the next chapter! ^.^
