MISUNDERSTANDINGS

+Dream sequence+

"Let me go!" Mikki screams, being slammed into the mud. She feels a hand placed upon her face. She cries silently.

"Not until you say it."

"I will not say it!" She is slapped hard on the face.

"Say it GODDAMNIT!"

"No! Stop please!" He slices her shoulder. She cries out, seeing the blood flow.

He lets out a laugh. And brushes away her hair and tears. "No matter what you do or say, I'll make you love me."

She cries out as she sees the blood rapidly leave her body. She knows that in his next attack that he could kill her. "I loved you once, but I'll never love you again, Asakura Hao."

He chokes her, his mouth lingering near hers. His eyes show his anger for her stubborness. He smiles evilly."I'll make you love me. Even if it means that I'll have to kill everyone that you have ever loved. Starting with Dankitto."

"No, please don't." He smirks, showing her a knife. It had blood on it.

"I already did."

"No."

"Say it to me then."

"No..."

"Then it's your parents turn to die."

"No, please don't. Please, I beg of you-"

"Not until you say it."

"Never-" He maliciously grins.

"Then I'll continue to kill anyone that you ever fall in love with."

"No!"

+End Dream Sequence+

"NO!" Mikki screams, waking up. She looks into the mirror. She sees pure terror in her tropical water blue eyes. Her long chocolate locks were slightly clinging to her face. Her white silk slip was twisted around her body, showing her white underwear. She was a mess. She puts her head between her knees, wanting to weep. She hears the pattering of feet and the ruffling of clothing. "Oh shit, not again." She hears a girl with green hair poke her head in. Her corpse of a famous martial arts star follows.

"Chibi Shaman, are you alright?" she asks Mikki.

"Hi, Run, Li."

"Hello, Mikki," Li Bailong says, waving his hand. Jun walks in and sits on Mikki's bed. She touches Mikki's wrists that are tightly clasped against her legs. Mikki looks up. Li stands at the foot of the bed.

"You didn't answer my question, Chibi."

"Run..." Li begins.

"I know, Li." She turns to Mikki. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing," Mikki manages to mutter.

"You're lying."

"So?"

"Do you wish for me to tell Lian that you have been having sleepless nights? This is your 18th one." Jun gets up as if to walk to Ren's room and to wake him up and talk to him. Mikki grabs at Jun's hand and misses. Li sees this action and motions for Jun to stop.

"Please, don't tell Lian."

"Don't tell me what?" Ren questions, leaning against the doorway. Mikki jumps, startled by his sudden apperance. Jun walks to Ren and puts a hand on his shoulder. He looks at her. "Something wrong with Chibi?"

"Yes," she responds." Maybe she can tell you. Good luck, Chibi."

"Thanks, I need it," she mutters as Jun and Li leave. Ren walks to her and sits on her bed. "Hi, Lian."

"What's wrong?" Ren questions as he sees her sigh.

"Its just that..."

"What?"

"It's about my past."

"What's wrong about it? We already talked about this." Dankitto, Mikki's ghost, pops in with Bason.

"Something wrong, Mistress?" Dankitto asks with a short bow.

"DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO ASK!"She questions, frustraited. She tries slam her head into her pillow, but Ren catches her so that she slams into his chest. "Ow.That hurt. Ren, why do you have such hard abs?"

"Working out," he states.

"Oh, right."

She runs a hand through her hair, only to touch Ren's chest. She can feel his heart beating. She blushes. " Um, master," Bason asks. "Was there something wrong?"

"It's about my past," Mikki managed to mumble.

"Can I ask what happened? If you don't remember, when you told Master Lian, he told me to leave the room."

"Sure, well, it's kinda complicated."

"I'll tell him, Mistress," Dankitto says. "I know it all as if it were yesterday." She looks at him sadly.

"Yes, I know. I guess you can tell them." She shivers. Ren notices, grabs a blanket, wraps it around her, and holds her close. She blushes. "Thanks, Lian." He nods and gives her a kiss. Bason turns to Dankitto.

"A thousand years ago, she was a shaman that stayed with the Asakura home. He found her there and fell in love with her. She loved him back and they were with one another almost everyday. Then I came in. I went there to tell her something, but I forgot when I saw her.You see, I had fallen in love with her. She didn't take my love though. She had only loved him. Her love for me was like one for a brother. So I asked if I could be of service to her. She asked me if I could aid her in finding a gift for him. So I spent as much time as I could with her to help in her little quest. But he thought it was something otherwise. You see, he was the one that had introduced me to her and he knew that I liked her. He thought that I was trying to take her from him. He cornered her and tried to confront her, trying to get the truth. She told him everything except for his gift. But he knew that she was hiding something and thought that I had sworn her to secrecy or that I would hurt her, and her crying and wounds on her arms weren't helping. He attacked me and kill me. He confronted her once again and it ended in a fight where she told him that she didn't love him and he promised that she'd love him once again. She died a few hours later. A day later, he died. Since they are both very powerful shamans so they can control their deaths. They would always be reborn and he would always try to win her heart back. It always ended harsh though."

"How long has it been since you last seen him?" Bason asks.

"Sometime ago. It was before I met Ren," she responds quietly. Ren gives her a tight squeeze.

"And since I'm here and I have your heart, he can't possibly try to take it," Ren whispers in her ear. He kisses her and gets up. "We'll leave you to get dress. You have to leave in-" he checks the time "-an hour."

She nods as they leave. As they close the door, she sighs. " I think your love for me may be too late, Lian."
