Never Thought it was You
Chapter 8: Body healed…Heart injured
"How could you?…"
Her voice died in her throat…she didn't even remember what she had wanted to say, or shout…she forgot everything…all that was in her world, was that face…that tear-streaked face…
Oh Ren…
"R-Ren…I…" but with one last glare, he walked out of the room, bumping into anyone who came his way, without a word…
That was it…she had had enough…her world had turned black…she could take no more…
Her mind seemed to stop working…her thoughts were swirling in that pretty head of hers…torturing her…
What should I do?… What should I do?…I can't take this anymore…everything is just so messed up…my whole life is messed up…I'm…I'm gonna kill myself…wait…I've already tried that…I've…already… tried that?…
Oh my god…
Her back shot upwards…
"REEEEEEEEEEN!" everybody in the room jumped in terror, as Tamao shouted Ren's name as if her entire life depended on it…
"Tamao…" Horohoro's sad sigh was drowned in Tamao's fresh calling for Ren…
But he was gone…somehow…she knew he was gone…
The doctor informed the gang that Tamao needed a whole week in the least to recover. They were very shocked to know she needed that long to be released, but also depressed at hearing that she had lost a very big amount of blood in her suicidal action…
Because of that, Anna and Pilika have decided to spend that week with Tamao, to keep her company, and most importantly, to prevent her from doing anything stupid again…of course Horohoro was the first to volunteer for the post of company for her, but he changed his mind at the death glare he received from Anna. That bitch, he thought angrily.
As the days passed, Tamao's room was never visitor-free. Of course when they heard, her family rushed to see her, but were never informed of what had really happened. Instead, Yoh had saved the day by telling them this long, horrific story of an attacker who popped up out of nowhere and slashed Tamao's wrists as she was taking a walk in an alleyway…Anna secretly pinched him hard for telling such a far-fetched story, which they will never be stupid enough to believe…but to her immense surprise, and Yoh's deep relief, they did. They sobbed at how their poor girl had to go through all that, and assured her they would never leave her side, but…she didn't care…she didn't even reply to them…in fact, she didn't say anything…she hadn't spoken a single word after that incident with Ren… she haven't seen him ever since…he didn't even come to visit…she felt like crying, which she did everyday before she went to sleep…
At long last, after a week that seemed like a month, she was released. Back at the inn, everybody threw her a welcome-back party and celebrated. She tried to smile, to enjoy herself. She was alive…if it weren't for them, she wouldn't be here standing well and alive…she'd be dead.
But that was impossible…
The party went on until it was very late in the night, and not until Yoh pointed out that Tamao probably was very tired and needed to rest that they decided it was time to stop. Ryu, Manta and Pilika were standing by the front door saying their good-byes, when Pilika noticed that her older brother was still sitting in the living room.
"Onii-chan! What are you waiting for? It's so late, we should go home right now".
"Pilika…I'll..I'll stay here for the night" he had made up his mind.
"What? Why?" she questioned.
"It's ok, Pilika, he'll be fine here" Yoh spared his friend the answer.
"O..K..If that's what you want, brother" she waved and then left, Ryu and manta in her wake.
Tamao watched as everybody started getting ready for bed. She looked at her watch, it was a little past 11. Whoa, she thought, it really is late. But for some reason she wasn't sleepy and had no intention of going to bed. Her mind seemed to be somewhere else. She sat on a sofa and bid everyone good-night, reassuring them she'd follow them in no time. When the house turned very quiet, she decided that she wanted to take a bath. Yes, that'll clear my mind and make me feel a whole lot better. Tiptoeing so that she wouldn't wake anyone, she headed for the hot-spring and there she undressed. Deciding to ignore the fresh white towels, she stepped into the water and sunk her naked body there. Oh wow, this feels great. It had been so long since she had taken a bath, and in a hot-spring too.
She sat there, savouring the little bit of happiness that was coursing through her, staring at the sparkly steaming water, when she heard a noise right behind her. She turned around right in time to see someone's silhouette stepping in. She squinted her eyes to make out who it was, but she had stayed too long in this hot water, she felt dizzy and heavy-headed, and her vision was very blurry. Not until that person spoke did she recognize them.
"Tamao…."
She gasped as she realized who it was. It was Horohoro.
"Horohoro! Stay back…I'm…taking a bath…"
"I know that"
Her eyes widened as he stepped deeper into the water, until he was standing right in front of her. Her whole body stiffened, she couldn't believe that look on his face…he was smiling…not the warm cute smile she knew…but a crazy smile, like a maniac who had endless opportunities ahead of him…
"Horohoro! Get out of here, please…" she felt too weak to shout.
"No"
"W-what?" her eye-lids were starting to droop. Her image of Horohoro's naked torso was swimming in front of her.
"You never noticed me" he suddenly shouted.
She seemed to regain her focus at his loud voice.
"For these past years, all I've ever wanted was for you to notice me, to love me…all I ever wanted, was you…and now…you're mine"
Before she knew it, he had swooped down on her and wrapped his arms around her bare waist…
She was totally awake now. She screamed.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Let go of me…this isn't like you…let…go" her voice was muffled by his hand that he had placed roughly on her mouth.
"Shhh" he smiled again. "Tonight…you're gonna be mine"
She froze. She couldn't fight back, he was too strong. Her heart stopped when his hands started rubbinghungrilyon her wet back, specks of water flying everywhere…his hands travelled all the way down her spine, then started making their way to her breasts…
"NO!"
Nobody heard her muffled scream…
She was done with...
