Jonouchi: OH MY GOD! RUNNNNN! *runs away*

As Jonouchi and Shizuka were walking home in the dark, Jonouchi got a sudden chill up his spine. Like something wasn't right, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh! Nothing Shizuka."
"Ok...."
"Hey....were home. Why don't you go on in. There's....something I need to do."
"Well....Ok Jonouchi. Just be carefull."
"Shure thing sis."
Jonouchi watched his sister go back inside the house and turn on the porch light. Turning around he walked away to clear his mind and try to figure out what made him shudder....
~back to Ren and Bakura~
"So....you were the one in my dreams?!"
"To put it bluntly.....yes. I, Bakura, was the one who haunted your dreams. It was quite interesting to watch you battle against those nightmares of your love being taken away."
"Oh my god. Y-you know about Otogi?!"
"Yes. And another love left dorment in that heart of yours."
"Y-you....I...." Left speechless by his words Ren began to cry. Not knowing why, or able to stop herself, the tears kept coming. Soon she was sobbing, embarassed by this, she ran out of the room. Grabbing her purse she bolted out of the house.
"God....women."
~*~*~
She ran blindly through the streets while her purse banged against her side, just wanting to get away. No longer did she care about the constant stares and mumurs of strangers she ran past. As she continued to run, she ran into someone. Falling carelessly on top of them trying to stop her crying.
*~*~*
Jonouchi was walking along a brightly light street trying to recall the strange feeling from earlier. Putting his hands inside the pockets of his jacket he looked around at all the signs advertising Battle City. Staring at all the signs around him, he didn't notice the young girl headed right for him. Colliding right into his chest with a powerful force, he was knocked to the ground on his back. It seemed that this person who had fallen on him was a girl, due to soft chest he could feel against him raising slowly up and down as she breathed. Her sniffles told him that she had been crying as well.
"A-are you ok?" she asked shakily.
"Yeah. How bout' you?"
"I-I-I am ok. I'm really s-sorry about that."
"No problem."
"You s-shure?"
"Yeah...." But at that exact moment his stomach grumbled in disagreement.
"Hehehe. I guess your stomach thinks otherwise...."
"Haha. Well.....I am pretty hungry."
"How bout' I treat you to some food. It's the least I can do for you."
"Thanks!"
Walking together, they headed for a local Burger World just a few blocks over.
"So....what's your name girl?"
"Well.....for one it's not girl. It's Ren Suzuran."
"Ahhh. That is a better name than girl."
"And what is your name Mr. Mysterious?"
"My name is Jonouchi Katsuya!"
"Oh my god! Are you the same Jonouchi Katsuya who placed 2nd in duelest kingdom?! And the same who beat Weevel Underwood, Mako Tsunami, and Espa Roba?!"
"Yup! You're talking to the brilliant Jonouchi Katsuya! Hehehe."
"Wow! I've waited so long to talk to you!" Ren's face slowly started turning a slight shade of red.
"I had no idea that I had a fanclub. Wait till I tell Honda bout' this....." Jonouchi was shocked that a girl was actually blushing at being able to talk to him, while many others smacked him across the face when he tried to talk to them.
"Huh?"
"Nothin'....nothin'....so...where do you go to school Suzuran-chan?"
"Hey! I'm the same age as you! I'm just short.....that's all....."
"Ahhh.....I see. Well then....aren't you a little cold in that get-up?"
"What?" Looking down she noticed that she was wearing a silky spagetti strap PJ shirt with silky pants.....without a bra.... "Ahhh!" Trying to cover her revealing skin Jonouchi wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. Taking his hand, he rubbed her arm lovingly.
"You wanna just go home?"
"Y-yeah...."
"Where do you live?"
"Uhhhh...." In all the time Ren had been there she hadn't thought about where she was living, or going to live. "I don't know.....I just arrived here and I don't have a place to live..... Do you know of any good Hotels or Motels I could go to?"
"I won't hear of a young girl goin' to some Motel..."
"Or Hotel..."
"Right. You can come stay with me!"
Ren's face started turning from a light blush to dark crimson. "B-but what w-w-would your m-mom say?"
"Oh.....she'll be allright with it."
"Are you shure?"
"Hell yeah! But.....ummm.....are you ok?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your face is turning really red....do you have a fever?"
Ren started freaking out, not only was she with a star duelest, he was going to be the second person to ask if she had a fever! "Y-yeah....I'm ok!"
Jonouchi frowned at her answer, knowing it wasn't true. Taking his free hand he felt his forehead and then felt her forehead and cheeks. "You're burning up!"
"I'm ok!"
"No you're not." Taking maters into his own hands, he turned towards Ren and picked her up into his arms. "I better get you home...."
"Katsuya-kun!"
"Let's go home and get you into a nice comfy bed. How does that sound?"
"As long as you're not in it, that would be great!"
"Damn...." Jonouchi pouted playfully like he was really crestfallen about not being in the same bed with Ren.
"You little pervert! I'm not so shure I want to be in a house with the Pervert King....."
"Hey! I'm no pervert!"
They continued to argue playfully all the way to Jonouchi's street. Slowly Ren's eyes began to droop from so much fun, while Jonouchi headed strait for his house.
When Jonouchi knocked on the door and Shizuka answered, he began to worry.
"Sis.....where's mom?"
"She had to go on an unexpected business trip, and she wasn't very happy that you weren't home yet....."
"I'll have to deal with her later then....."
"Oh....she won't be back for some time....she said maybe a whole year....it was supposedly a very important matter."
"Whoa....."
"Yeah......ummm.....Big Brother........who is that in your arms?"
"Oh! It's this girl I bumped into and she doesn't have a place to stay so I thought she could stay in the guest room upstairs next to my room."
"I guess so....."
"Well.....you better go and get some sleep....I'll go put her up."
"Ok. Oyasuminasai, Oniichan!"
"Oyasuminasai."
Shizuka walked up the stairs and into her room, closing the door. This left the drowzy Ren and Jonouchi all alone.
"So....do you wanna sleep in my room or in the guest room?"
".........sleep......room......"
"Ummm.......that's not a room."
"Oh......Jonouchi......room....mmmmm......"
"So you wanna' sleep in my room?!"
"mmmmm.....sleep...."
"Uhhh.....I better put you in the guest room.....just to be safe."
Walking up the stairs was a hard task trying to carry someone up. When he got to the guest room and put Ren down on the bed, he kneeled on the ground and collapsed on top of her from exhaustion. And for once she was able to enjoy a night's rest....
~Ren's *dream*~
"Wow.....everything is so beautiful!"
She was walking along a cobblestone path, with beautiful flowing grass on either side. As tree's billowed in the breeze, and little children played on the playground. It was a quaint little park, not tainted by evil. The wind smelled of fresh flowers, it was heavenly. Her outfit was now blue jean capri's, a T-shirt, and flip-flop sandals. Everything was perfect, so calm and serene.
"Ren! REN! Over here!"
"Huh?"
Looking to the right she saw Jonouchi, Honda, Shizuka, Shikyo, Yami, and Ryou sitting under a giant Oak tree. They were all huddled around a blanket that held a picnic basket in the middle. Jonouchi was waving his hand in her direction signaling for her to come to them.
"Shikyo made lunch and invited us all to join her!"
"Yeah right Jonouchi. More like you invited yourself!" Shikyo said a little annoyed.
"Anywho.....come on Ren! We're waiting for you!"
"Ok! Ok! I'm coming!"
Jogging over to them she sat inbetween Jonouchi and Honda, scooching closer to Jonouchi.
"Let's eat!" Jonouchi said as they all began to take food out of the basket.
Slowly they all started to fade away and were moved around. The basket was now empty of it's contents, while the blanket had been folded up neatly beside it. She looked around to see Shikyo and Yami talking lovey dovey as they sat on the swings, hands entertwined. Honda was trying to coax Shizuka into going somewhere romantic, which wasn't quite working......and poor Ryou was being chased by all the little children as they played tag. Looking down she saw Jonouchi sleeping with his head on her lap. She smiled and brushed away a few stay pieces of hair. Jonouchi's lips made a small smile as he sighed in pleasure.
"Wo ai ni, my koi." Ren whispered.
"Wo ai ni......" was the reply she got back......

Ren: Sooooooooo my peoples. What did you think? Good? Great? Wonderful?
Jonouchi: How 'bout horrible!
Ren: You be quiet! I put you in this fic, I can take you out!
Jonouchi: Ok.....I'll be quiet....
Ren: Thank you! Now.....you should all know the drill by now.....
