Chapter Seven – Sleep Over At Ren's House II
=====================================
So, Pilica was over at Ren's house for the weekends. Friday went with no problems except the two shouting at each other for longer than anyone could count but otherwise, it was a peaceful day.
Next day (Saturday), Ren woke up early in the morning to go to his daily training with Bason, the martial arts teacher. Pilica woke up from Ren and Bason's shouts and all the noise they were making. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. It was too early. WAY too early.
She looked out the window and marveled at the bright and clear sky but shivered at the morning chill. Then she heard the shouts again and looked down. There they were. Ren and Bason. She raised her eyebrows.
"Hum. I never knew Ren did martial arts. Ehh whatever. He's still a jerk. ...A jerk with a very muscular chest..." thought Pilica, "Wait! What am I thinking?! Don't stare at his chest! Stare at his... face! Hm. He's pretty good looking. AHh! No Pilica! Save yourself!!"
"AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Ren and Bason both stopped and looked at the direction the shout came from. They saw Pilica holding her head while shaking it at the same time. Ren smirked.
"Enough for this morning," he stated as he went into the building. He silently walked to Pilica's room and knocked. When he heard no answer, Ren knocked again. After a while, he knocked yet again. Soon, Ren was getting very frustrated.
"AGH OPEN THE DOOR YOU NITWIT!" he shouted as he punched open the door. He looked inside to see... a guestroom in which Pilica did NOT reside.
"Uhh... oops?" Then, he heard the door of the room right next to where he was, open.
"SOME people are trying to get SOME rest here! Can you PLEASE be QUIET and stop destroying your OWN mansion?" Pilica, who came out of the room, said. Ren's face reddened in embarrassment.
"SHUT UP!" he shouted, very mad.
"Tao Ren!" a calm but tired voice said. Ren and Pilica looked at the source of the voice. It was Jun.
"You must learn to lower your voice, Ren! Pilica-chan was right when she said that some people are trying to sleep. One of those people just happened to be ME," she lectured. Then, she looked at the broken door. Her eyes widened and then turned to her younger brother.
"REN!!! HOW many times do I HAVE to tell you NOT to break our mansion?!" Ren looked back at Pilica and glared as she winked at him. She mouthed 'Have a nice time' and went back into her room. Ren growled.
"Are you listening to me, Ren? REN!!"
An hour or so later, everyone, except for Ren's Father En, was gathered at the dining room for breakfast. Jun and Ren ate their meals quietly as Ran, their mother, pleasantly chatted with Pilica.
"So Pilica-san, what are some of the things you like to do?" Ran asked with a kind smile.
"I like gardening, Ran-sama," Pilica answered just as pleasantly. Jun spoke up.
"Then you should have a look at our garden! It's huge! I know you'll like it." Then, Ren spoke up.
"Ha! Everything SHE touches will die no matter how much a gardener takes good care of it!" he said with an arrogant tone. Pilica glared.
"For your information, I have a lovely little garden growing in my backyard!" she retorted. Ren snorted.
"Are you bragging to me about a puny vegetable patch? Well, I guess you want to. I mean, what else can you brag about? You have nothing to flaunt! You're not smart, you're not pretty, you're not entertaining, and you're NOTHING. But, I guess gardening a puny patch of green things is an improvement from nothing."
Pilica was stunned to hear what he said. She knew he was arrogant. She knew he was mean. She knew he was a jerk. But she never knew that he was THIS cruel and malignant! She felt her eyes start to get wet as she angrily forced them back.
"Excuse me..." she said as she hastily stood up and ran to her room.
Ren felt two pairs of eyes bearing into him. He looked up from eating his peaceful meal to see that both females, Ran and Jun, were glaring at him with disapproving looks.
"What?" he asked, clueless.
"That was unnecessary, Ren," his sister said.
"Yes, it was very impolite of you. I expected more from my son. I am disappointed in you Ren," his mother said.
"WHAT?! What did I DO?!" Jun got up from her seat and pointed her chopsticks at him.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHAT DID YOU DO!? YOU SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW?!"
"YEAH! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID THAT WAS SO DISAPPROVING!"
"YOU INSULTED PILICA-CHAN IN A VERY CRUEL MANNER, REN! WHAT YOU SAID WAS VERY HARSH!"
Ran looked on as her two children bickered. Finally, she cleared her throat and everything went silent. First, she looked at Jun.
"Jun, do not raise your voice like that. It is very unbecoming and not lady like," she said as Jun sat down. Then, Ran turned to her youngest child. "As for you, Ren, it was very disrespecting of you to shout at your elder sister. It was also very rude of you to insult our guest in such harsh manner. You will apologize to her." Ren's eyes bulged out as he dropped his chopsticks.
"WHAT?!" he shouted.
"Ren!" Ran softly shouted in a commanding voice, "You will do as I expect. I do not wish to hear any complaints from you. What you did was wrong, and you know so."
Ren sunk down unto his seat. "I. Want. To. DIE," He thought.
So that's how he found himself staring at the door to the room Pilica was staying in after breakfast.
"Agh! How am I supposed to apologize to her?!" he thought angrily, as he paced back and forth in front of the door, "Ah, what the heck!"
He knocked on the door and he heard a soft voice inviting him in. Slowly and cautiously, he opened the door and saw Pilica wipe her eyes as she got up from the bed. Suddenly, he felt a pang of guilt when he saw dry tears on her cheeks. Pilica spotted him and immediately glared.
"What do YOU want? I thought I was NOTHING," she said in a freezing tone. He winced.
"I-I came to apologize to you about the rude behavior I showed this morning during breakfast. I apologize for all the harsh insults I said and I take them back," he said quickly. Pilica's eyes widen when she heard his apology.
"Are my ears playing tricks on me? Did I hear what I thought I heard?" she said, wondrously. She walked up to Ren and pinched his arm.
"OW! What was THAT for?! I'm here trying to say sorry and you go and PINCH me?!" he shouted. But Pilica didn't hear anything.
"Oh. My. Gosh. I'm not dreaming! Tao Ren just said SORRY to me!" Ren's cheeks turned slightly pink and he tried to glare.
"Shut up! I only did this because I was forced to! Don't think anything of it!" he quickly said as he left her room, banging the door close. Pilica smiled happily at the door.
"I guess Ren isn't much of a jerk as I thought he was."
Unknown to BOTH of them, two dark figures overheard the whole conversation.
"Operation success!"
"Are you sure this will work Jun?"
"Of course, mother! Look how good they're getting along!"
"It was a good thing you invited her over. She definitely has a chance."
Then the two figures fell in a fit of quiet laughs and giggles.

GoddessLD: I'm sorry that this chapter came out so late. Chapters 1-6 were prewritten and I had to write this chapter. HYKimPS and I are not working together on this anymore; however, I will give her credit for much of her ideas for this fanfiction. Stacy will still be a character in this fanfiction also. Please review.
