Never Thought it was You
Chapter 3: Raging Thoughts
Ren's House:
Ren entered his house. Everything was so dark compared to the fading sunlight outside. It seemed as if it was reflecting his feelings at the moment…
"Stop it! Ano baka! Stop feeling regretful" he scolded himself. He just wasn't used to this feeling, for some reason Tamao's sad face kept popping into his mind. Her shocked eyes as he yelled at her were everywhere, as though he had pasted them over his own…
He had spent that whole day training, taking out his anger on his own body as he exercised it until he felt as though his muscles were screaming with agony… but this was good, he was getting stronger everyday…soon he'll be able to defeat his best friend and rival, Yoh.
He was starting to walk upstairs to get a shower and get some rest when a very faint door-knock was heard from across the living room.
"Ksso, I don't want any visitors now" he exclaimed angrily. That hesitant door-knock was heard again.
"Okay I'm coming" he opened the door.
There she was, looking as cute as ever with her bubble-gum-pink hair just barely brushing her shoulders.
"Umm…komban wa, Ren-kun. I…I just wanted to apologize again for what happened, so I…I baked this… I hope you like it" and she held before him a large lunchbox wrapped in a pretty cloth.
"Aah, thank you, Tamao…umm… Would you like to come in?" he said this last sentence very fast, and he kicked himself mentally for doing so.
"Hai!" she seems happy about it, he thought as he looked at her wide and cute smile spread on her face.
They walked in together. She headed for the kitchen and placed the lunchbox on it, then asked Ren if he would like some of her cake to eat now. In truth he didn't feel like eating anything, he really wanted to take his shower and go to bed, but he just couldn't refuse those eyes of hers. She started rummaging in the kitchen for plates and forks, not asking Ren about the whereabouts of anything, all the while Ren was watching her.
For the first time he actuallylooked at her, taking in every detail of her beautiful body. Wow, he thought, she's no longer a little girl like I always thought she was, she's matured a lot, but I guess I just never noticed her. Come to think of it, I don't really know anything about her, except that she's in love with Yoh. Suddenly he felt angry, even more, disappointed. He couldn't help thinking: ANOTHER CHALLENGE WITH YOH.
"Here…" she handed him a plate with a very delicious looking piece of strawberry shortcake on it, then sat next to him in the living room. Ren was beginning to sweat, he was aware of the very small space between them; they were almost thigh to thigh.
"Ren? Don't you like strawberry shortcake? I'm so sorry… I didn't know" but he cut her quickly,
"No, I mean yes, I do". Her face relaxed as she watched him eating the cake she had made for him, she felt very happy about it.
"So, do you like it?" she asked anxiously.
"Aah, it's…delicious" he replied not looking at her.
"REALLY? Thank god. Hey Ren-kun, ummm… if you like it, I'd be happy to make it for you whenever you want ok?"
He didn't reply.
Something was happening to him, mad ideas were raging inside of him. He felt like doing a lot of things at this moment, it was wonderful…this feeling…like nothing he had ever experienced. All of this made him wear a very weird look on his face.
"Ren? Is something the matter?"
It took him only one look at her and he flipped. Like a wild beast breakingout from his cage. He did the very first thing that came to his mind.
He grabbed her face with both hands and pressed his lips against hers as hard as he can.
