----------At the park near the High School----------



For the first time in the year, Tokiya was skipping school. Not that he had never done so, but those days were always because of the UBS or Uru Uruha (or what ever they are called), but never before for personal reasons. . .





And for the first time in his collage days, is Kurei missing a lesson.





And for the first time in what seems like a million years, he had his Kurenai in his arms, not as a flame, but as a real, warm human, with flesh, a soft touch, and that unique smell of roses he had missed so much.





"You still haven't answer me, where is Renge?" Tokiya asked the weak Kurenai, lying in Kurei's arms. He had tried to question her many times, but every time she just turn away or Kurei would stop him. However, he could stand it no longer. Again, when she turned to hide her face from him, he grabs her and shook her violently, and screamed at her face, " WHERE IS RENGE????"





As sudden as he had grab Kurenai, a blow went onto his stomach. Kurei. The impact was so huge; Tokiya dropped Kurenai and flew to the nearest tree. Kurei once again took Kurenai into his arms, but somehow, Kurenai don't seem affected by what Tokiya just did. She just fell back into Kurei's arms, and lay there quietly. . .





"Kurei. . ." Kurenai whispered. And Kurei hugged her tighter. "I've. . . I've been a bad person. . ."





"You can't help her hide whatever she's hiding forever. . ." Tokiya said as he got up again. "People in school will be asking what happened to Renge if she don't turn up for school, Teru and Amy would be worried if she don't make it home tonight, and her boss at Pushy will ask questions too.."





"Why are you so concerned about Renge?" Kurei asked. "Who is she to you? Now that I have my Kurenai. . ."





"Kurenai, Kurenai! You only think about your Kurenai! What about MY Renge?" Tokiya shouted out before he can stop himself. And at that, Kurenai's expression finally changed, as she fought to get out of Kurei's arms and put her hands up to her head, as if she was trying to shake someone out of her head.



"NO!!!!" She screamed. "I just regain my body! I will NOT let you take control over me again!"



"Kurenai!" Kurei exclaimed, and tried to clam her down. 'What happened to you?' he asked himself 'Why are you so troubled?'





"Regain body? Take control? " Tokiya whispered, then shouted at her, "It's Renge, right? She's still alive somewhere inside of you!"





After what seems like a long time, Kurenai clamed down, and sat onto the ground. Kurei kneed down, to level his eyes with hers. "What's wrong?" He asked.





"One body. . . One body cannot live with two souls. . ." Kurenai said, then look at Kurei. "Help me, Kurei. Take her soul out of me!"





"Her soul? Out of you? What are you talking about, love?" Kurei asked Kurenai.





"I. .. . I am sharing a body with Renge now. . . When Yanagi's healing flame. .. ... When it healed the other souls, she heal both mine and Renge's.. .. . But Renge's soul was stronger than mine... .. .. Because she had only been dead for a few hours. . ..while I. . . I've been dead for years. .. ."





"So you're saying. .. ." Tokiya chopped in. "That now you and Renge co-exist? That you are Renge and Kurenai?"



"I am Kurenai. . .. The other soul is Renge. . ." Kurenai said, then, surprising even to Kurei, Kurenai lifted up her head and looked at Tokiya with malice, "You. . ." She said. "If you have not appear, if Renge had not fallen in love with you. .. . If only you didn't declared that she was your Renge, she would have given me back my body. Now she's hesitating. . .Aren't you supposed to be fridge-boy? Aren't you supposed to love Fuuko? Why mess with the cursed soul within me?!"





With that, Tokiya went into a silent argument with himself. 'Yes, she is right. . .' He conclude. 'I'm supposed to love Fuuko. .. . Why am I so bothered by Renge?'





"And Tokiya, just to tell you something. . ." Kurenai continued. "Renge's soul would be easier to kill, because I am the original owner of this body, while her soul is, in a sense, manufactured.. . .







"And besides..." Kurenai said. "She's losing it.. .. .. That's why I was able to gain control. . .There is a very big chance that. . . she will not survive till next week.. And today, being Monday, will start the count down. . . "
