Ren stared down at Yoh. "What are you talking about?"
"I had a dream...I had this dream that I killed Ryu." said Yoh.
"It was only a dream. Don't worry yourself over it." Ren replied.
"But I feel, like it was more than a dream."
"Like I said, don't worry yourself over it. Here, eat. I'll admit I'm not the greatest cook, but it's still edible." Ren smiled weakly to Yoh.
"No! You don't understand! I'm...I'm going to bite him. He's going to come looking for me here. And I'm going to bite him and kill him!" Yoh stared intently into Ren's eyes. "If you don't believe me, then fine, whatever, but I'm not going to let that happen."
"You care for your friends, I do understand that. But don't worry about that right now. Just do me a favor and take your mind off that for right now. You needn't stress over something else right now, you're going through too much right now as it is."
Yoh remained silent for a moment. He understood what Ren was asking for. Maybe he was just overreacting. Yoh nodded, "Maybe you're right." Yoh opened his mouth and began eating. Yoh turned blue all of a sudden and choked it up back into the bowl. "Not to offend ya, or anything, but this macaroni and cheese is a bit.....tainted." Yoh laughed.
Ren turned red. "Well...I told you I wasn't the best cook!" They both laughed.
Yoh got out of bed and looked around Ren's house. It was huge! Yoh hadn't seen anything like it. His hotel wasn't anything compared to this. He walked down the spiral stairs and off into the living room. Ren was sitting with a cup of tea.
"You live here alone, don't you?" Yoh asked.
Ren nodded and looked up at Yoh. "It gets lonely. It's nice to have someone with you, like now." He smiled, and Yoh returned it back.
"Yeah, I guess it's pretty nice taking a break from Anna's complaining."
Ren laughed. "I respect anyone who has to put up with that!"
"Yeah." Yoh laughed too.
Yoh sat down next to Ren and rested his head on Ren's shoulders. They sat there in silence, savoring every second. Yoh closed his eyes, and for some reason, he couldn't remember ever being so...so happy. Yoh smiled to himself. He wondered if Ren was feeling the same way. Unfortunately the silent cuddling was interrupted by a hard knock on the door. Ren stood up and went to go see who it was. Yoh followed behind him and stood about ten feet away. Ren pulled the door open to see a tall silhouette standing there. It slowly stepped into the light. Yoh gasped.
"Ryu?!"
"YOH! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" yelled Ryu.
"He's been here with me. There's no need to sho-." Ren got cut off.
"YOU...YOU KIDNAPPED HIM DIDN'T YOU?!!!!"
"No, of course I didn't. He's been safe-."
"SHUT UP!" Ryu punched Ren into the wall.
"RYU!" Yoh cried. "What are you doing??"
"Ren has kidnapped you, hasn't he? Don't lie to me Yoh, I'll know if you are lying. We have all been worried sick about you! You're lucky Morty told us all what happened!"
"But Ryu, Ren didn't kidnap me!" Yoh explained.
Ren got back up, "Ryu! You fucking bastard!" Ren ran towards Ryu and threw his fist into his jaw.
"STOP IT!!" Yoh cried. Anger was pouring through Yoh's veins. He didn't want Ren to get hurt, but he didn't want his dream to come true, either. He wasn't sure what to do. His tongue slid over his teeth, they were growing again. "Oh no..." Yoh whispered to himself. He looked up at Ryu and Ren as they were throwing punches at one another. Why now? He thought. I'm not going to let this happen. Yoh started to run. He ran past Ryu and Ren and through the door.
"YOH!" yelled Ren. Ryu stopped fighting and started after him. "RYU, NO!"
Ren started to run after him, also.
Yoh was running through the woods. He was beginning to feel the effects of running so hard. The thirst was getting worse. The craving was driving him crazy. There was a little conscience inside his head, persuading him to stop and feast on Ryu. But Yoh was trying his hardest to ignore it. The last thing he was going to do was stop. He had to lose Ryu. He finally reached Monument Hill after running for what seemed like hours. He hung unto a limb on the tree, and stopped to try to catch his breath.
His pants were heavy, his chest felt like there were knives going through him. Sweat beaded down his forehead. He turned around to see that no one was there. He silently congratulated himself on preventing what could have been. Suddenly the thought came to mind of Ren. He had left Ren and Ryu at the house, but Ryu ran after him, but had Ren ran after Ryu? If so, then Ren would have had to stop Ryu. How would he have done that? Ryu was a pretty tough guy...
"Ren's going to bite Ryu..." Yoh whispered silently to himself. He quickly turned around to run back. He had tried so hard to prevent himself from biting Ryu, when Ren was the one he needed to stop. When he finally reached the Ren's place, he was quick to find out that Ryu's body was lying in front of the open gate. Ren was crouching beside him, blood covering his mouth. He was a deer in the headlights. Ren stood up and leaped into the forest so fast that Yoh barely had time to wink.
Yoh ran up to Ryu's body. He was pale and bloody. It was almost sick to look at him. Yoh lift Ryu's head and hugged him one last time. Tears were streaming down his face. He heard a motorcycle in the distance, and slowly headlights appeared through the dark. Yoh looked up when the motorcycle had reached him. The rider had put the brakes on and took the helmet off. To Yoh's surprise, it was Anna.
Her eyes were wide. There was blood all over Yoh and Ryu. Her whisper was soft, "Yoh...what...have you done...?"
"Anna!! It's not what it looks like, honest!" Yoh cried.
Her eyes were filled with tears, "You disappear for days without a trace, and when once someone finally finds you....you kill them?" Her voice shook with terror and anger.
"Anna..." Yoh was scared. He now realized what his dream had meant. Ren killed Ryu, but Yoh was the one who got the blame. Why didn't he see it before? Yoh was so confused; he wasn't sure what to do. Thoughts were swirling and boggling inside his head; he just felt like screaming. Yoh closed his eyes hard as the tears ran down his cheeks. "I didn't do this."
Anna was silent. She was still obviously trying to absorb what had just happened. "How...how can I...believe you...? You disappear, and you...I mean look at yourself! How can I believe anything right now? I just-" Anna turned around covering her mouth.
"Anna.......please...you have to believe me. You know I'd never do a thing like this!" Yoh stopped abruptly. There were police sirens going off near by.
"The police are coming." Anna said softly.
"I'm going to get blamed for something I didn't do."
"Then go..."
"Anna?!" Yoh was stunned.
"I said, GO!"
Yoh stood up and quickly ran off into the woods. What in the hell was he doing, he suddenly thought. Was he crazy? He was running from the police for Christ's Sake! Anna looked pretty pissed and upset, why did he listen to her? Why did he leave her there alone, scared like that? Yoh suddenly felt like the biggest moron in the world. His feet wouldn't stop, even though he tried. And so, he continued to run.
Ren leaped from the branches above right in front of Yoh as he was running by. Yoh gasped and jumped backwards.
"REN, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" yelled Yoh angrily. "H-how could you do this...? You...you sick bastard. I COULD KILL YOU!" Yoh ran towards Ren with the thoughts of killing him in his head. Yoh swung at his face but Ren dodged. "Why did you do this? I THOUGHT YOU CARED!"
"I do, it's just..." Ren breathed heavily. "Listen, Yoh, you don't understand. You don't know what it's like."
"Yes I do, I've felt it just like you. That's why I ran!" Yoh said defensively. "No you don't. The feelings you get...well, try multiplying that by ten and then have that feeling linger with you for days. You can't control it, you can't quench it. You never have enough. I couldn't stop myself. And soon, you'll realize that you won't be able to, either!" Ren was calm, a lot calmer than Yoh. He seemed confident, but that didn't relinquish Yoh's anger.
"I could've stopped myself." Yoh argued stubbornly.
"Think what you want, but don't come running to me when it happens."
"You'll be the last person on my list."
"Oh? Well, prepare for it now, because one of these days you're going to get someone even closer to you than Ryu was. Someone you perhaps love. And believe me I know all about that." Ren pushed.
"What are you talking about?" asked Yoh.
"Never you mind. Well, I take it you're not staying at my place so I bid you farewell." Ren said. Ren turned around and began walking away.
Yoh remained quiet for a few seconds. "Where do you think you're going? You just killed one of my best friends, and you think you're just going to walk away?"
"What? Do you want to fight?"
"I'm not going to let you get away with this..."
"Well, I'm sure you know that Bason has left quite a while ago. Amidamaru is not with you either, so what would be the point anyways?"
Yoh stared at Ren. He didn't want to fight him either. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do. He wanted Ren to scream, to feel pain, to feel what Ryu had to go through. How was that going to happen?
"No matter what you do, it won't do any good. You can't break me, I'm already broke. You can't make me cry, I have no feelings. You can't take anything away from me, I have nothing. I am what you see, so the best you could probably do is kill me, which would probably be more of a favor than anything." Ren said blankly.
Yoh looked into Ren's eyes. "What if I killed myself?" Yoh said.
Enelya: Okie dokies!! That was chapter 4, everyone! I'm so confused on how to end this!
