Ashuri: of course you would. I don't know cause it's you and your cool and need to relax.

Ren: but...

Ashuri: no buts. Anyway here's chapter four. Hopefully you will enjoy it.

Chapter four: Get out!

Ren awoke to the sounds of laughter coming from the living room. He groaned and rolled over to look at the alarm clock. Its green luminous numbers read 1:00am. His anger flared. Do people not sleep at this time of night? Was he the only one who did so? How dare they make such a racket to disturb his sleep!

But was it just the nosie?

A part of him felt like he had just been denied a really treat while the other part felt like he wanted to cause an all out war. He blinked trying to remember and draw conclusion to why he would feel this way. His mind was kind of blank. But it eventually came to him, after five minutes.

~Another thing was going on in Ren's brain. A part of him was enjoying Horo's touch, where as ninety percent of him wanted to kill him, and he mentally fought himself for a good five minutes before realizing that Horo's mouth was very close to the rim of his pants. Oh Shit! Horo had obviously realized that Ren wasn't going to fight anymore and was going to take it further.

"Horo! Horo! You stop that right now!" yelled Ren, finding his voice. However any new insults at had appeared at that moment were silenced by Horo pressing his lips against his. His hand moved down Ren chest and underneath the rim of his belt and pants. Ren was panicking! Rape! Rape! Rape! He repeated to himself over and over and over again, the ninety percent of him wishing the he had his kawn do his hands and the ten percent enjoying it.

When the time comes, I will truly enjoy killing you!

Horo had been about to unzip Ren's pants when the phone and the doorbell rang. Ha ha! Saved by the bell literally! Ren thought happily. Reluctantly Horo got off him and untied him, and met Ren's fist right in the nose. Ren glared furiously at him. "That Ainu-baka, was uncalled for!"

"S-sorry." Horo muttered.

Ren smiled evilly. "Pardon me, but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn. Now go answer the door."~

Again Ren's anger rose. That sniveling little rotting piece of carcass! His hands formed gestures of wanting to strangle something or someone, however before satisfaction could be his in the death department, the laughter from downstairs rose through the floor boards and his stomach growled.

He considered going down there and telling Horo, and Yoh, it seemed, to shut up. However that meant coming face to face with Horo, again. And he really didn't want to have to look into the face of the Ainu-baka. And he really didn't want to have to dwell on the...incident. But his stomach, as he did not have dinner, was commanding him to go downstairs and eat regardless of Horo.

"I do not take orders from my stomach," he growled at it. It growled back. Ok great. Now I'm talking to my stomach. How stupid can I get? That oaf must be rubbing off on me.

So after a furious fight with his stomach which lasted a whole of ten seconds, Ren relented and went down stairs, not caring that Horo was there or for the fact that he was half dressed. It was his house anyway.

When he entered the living room, Yoh and Horo were clearing in a fit of laughter over something, which never made itself apparent. Ren glared at them. And after a minute Yoh stopped laughing and said, "Hello Ren."

Horo nearly fell off the couch when he whipped around to look at Ren. He looked slightly afraid. "Hi...Ren."

"Do you people not sleep around here?" he asked shortly.

"We do. Its just were not tired," Yoh explained.

"You're not tired? Gosh that's a shock."

"Ren, I know your mad at me and all but you don't have to take it out on Yoh," Horo said.

Ren shook his smiling. "No, no, no Horo. Mad would be an understatement. I'm furious!"

Horo really did fall off the couch when Ren raised his voice. "Ok got it."

"Now, I am going to make myself something to eat. Would you like anything?" said Ren proving that he could be a better host then Horo.

"Sure thanks Ren," Yoh and Horo replied.

He smiled curtly and disappeared into the kitchen. With his head in the fridge he just happened to here Yoh say, "Very entertaining feet there Horo."

"Yeah, I guess," Horo muttered then shouted, "Hey Ren!"

"What!" he yelled back and returned to the living room.

"Do find me entertaining?" he asked.

Ren stared at him. Dork. "Do you want to know?"

"Yes."

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Do you really, really want to know!"

"Yes!"

"Alright...I'd say...you were to dim to entertain a thought," Ren replied and smiled at Horo's face before returning to the kitchen. "I'm making soup."

"I don't like soup!" Horo whined.

"I expect you can't get it to stay on the fork can you?" Horo chose not to reply and Ren smiled. He had won this battle.

While waiting for the stove to heat up he leaned against the counter and caught the conversation from the living room.

"He's so mean to me!" Horo whined at Yoh.

"Then why do you love him?"

Good question. Ren thought.

"I don't know! He's wonderful and a good cook and he can be nice at times and -and god he's sexy!"

Uh EW. Ren shuddered. Not pleasant.

"And then when he's being a jerk and incredibly mean I still can't help but love him!"

"Well-" Yoh started, but Horo cut across him in a loud voice. "Who darts think one thing and another tell my heart fittest him as the gates of hell!"

Ren stared at the entrance to the living room strangely. Was spotting poetry?

"So he's the gates of hell now?"

"Either that or he's the devil incarnate!"

Ren rolled his eyes and blocked out the rest of the conversation, in order to concentrate on the very late dinner, which didn't take that long to make. Separating it into three separate bowls he delivered them to the men in the living room and sat down next to Yoh. Horo looked slightly upset about that but didn't say anything.

They ate silently and none spoke until all the bowls were cleared. Ren had made Horo eat his despite his protests. Then ordered him to clean the bowls, which he agreed to only after Ren threatened to kill him a hundred times over.

"Ren, why are you being so mean to him? He's just trying to prove his love for you," Yoh said calmly.

"Please like I need that oafs love," Ren muttered.

"But you know you like him too."

"What!?"

"Or at least some what of the things he's doing to you. He told me," Yoh added.

Ren's eye twitched. That idiot. Just because he said once, just once, that it had been enjoyable didn't give him the right to tell everyone and parade around like they were a couple!

Yoh was watching him. "You can always close your eyes to the things you don't want to see...but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel."

Ren glared at him. "This is an excellent time for you to become a missing person."

Yoh shut his mouth fast. When Horo came back in he said. "What you did to him Horo, I suggest you never do again."

"Are you going to badger all of my support Ren?" Horo asked glaring slightly.

"Depends. Probably," Ren answered yawning.

"Why won't you just listen to me and them?"

"Because I don't listen anyone. And what made you so special?"

Horo's eye twitched slightly. "I love you. And your cold and selfish and probably wondering why someone would even take into consideration loving you. But I saw through that and I love you regardless."

Ren stared at him. Maybe there was some truth to his words but that still wouldn't make Ren love him, not in a million years.

"I would go to the end of the world for you," Horo said.

"Wonderful," Ren said. "Will you stay there too?"

Horo glared at him. "I'm just stating the truth."

"As so am I."

"Why are you so mistrusting and so fourth?"

"Because I am."

"That's not a good enough answer."

"Sure it is."

"Its not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too."

"One who mistrusts most should be trusted least."

They turned and glared at Yoh who obviously got the point saying he should go home or Anna was going to kill him. Leaving them in silence, they had a furious, but silent argument, which really wasn't that bad regardless of the cuts and scraps the both received. However Horo did succeed in pining Ren down. But Ren wasn't going to take it. Not this time.

Giving Horo one chance to release him willingly, it was wasted however, he then forced Horo to let him go by moving his leg into the right position and kicking him away. Horo hit the floor with a loud thud. Standing up Ren placed the tip of his kawn do just inches from Horo's neck. Horo gazed up at him, sadness and fear flowing out onto his face.

"That's it," Ren said. "I am sick and tired of your bullshit!"

"Ren-" Horo started but Ren cut across him. "No shut up! You will pack up all your junk and I want you out of here by tomorrow morning!"

Horo blinked looking shocked. "But-but Ren-"

"Go back to you hotel and live off them! I don't you here!" Ren said angrily. He then pulled the kawn do away from Horo and disappeared upstairs leaving Horo alone to continplate his thoughts.

Only when Ren was upstairs did he feel that maybe he had been a little harsh. Just because he didn't like what Horo was doing it didn't mean he should be kicked out on to the street. Did it? Ren sighed. But if they were separate maybe Horo would get over him and maybe they could still be friends.

He looked over at the clock. It was now 2:30am. He was tired and his brain ached. Maybe when he woke up later, everything would sort itself up.

Around dawn, however, Horo bounded into his room to try and convince him to let him stay. Ren unfortunately found it hard to go back to sleep and didn't exactly do so till five am, which meant he had only been asleep for an hour. He was not pleased when Horo came in and disturbed him from sleep.

It was either him calling "Ren! Ren!" or the jumping on the bed that awoke him, whatever it was it was really annoying, so the first words out of his mouth were, "Shut up and go away!"

"But Ren!" Horo whined. "You can't throw me out!"

"I sure as hell can. And if you don't leave me alone I'll throw you out now!"

"But Ren!"

"Shut up!" Ren sat up and glared at him. "I'm trying to sleep Ainu-baka! Leave me in peace!"

Horo pouted and preformed the puppy dog face.

"That's not going to work now," Ren said as nicely as possible to get him to leave.

Horo looked down at the bed. "Fine I'll leave. But first we have to talk."

"Fine talk."

Horo took a deep breath and said, "You know you're a very strong person. Everyone knows that. And brave. Can't forget brave. But it's easy to be brave from a safe distance." He paused and looked up at Ren. "When ever I got close to you, you would panic and suddenly change in character, before you built defenses against it. And that made you much more interesting."

Ren had remained quiet though Horo's speech. But he was right. Ren wouldn't let anyone get that close to him. Not ever.

"Please Ren!" Horo said. "Couldn't you try imagining your in love with me?"

"I'm sorry," Ren said trying to not sound mean but it came out that way anyway. "My imagination doesn't stretch that far."

Horo stared at him eyes full of hurt. He was asking him to do something that he couldn't. He couldn't love Horo. He just wanted to be friends. That should be enough.

"I want you to accept me, Ren."

Ren rolled his eyes. "I do accept you."

"You know what I mean," Horo said.

"Do you want me to accept you for who you are or do you want me to lie to myself and try to like you?"

"That's not the same. I want you to accept me and love without pretending."

"Well sorry. I'm not going to," replied Ren and he climbed out of bed. "Now come on. Out."

Horo sighed and climbed off the bed as well and returned to the guest room where he collected his things and went downstairs. Ren followed silently. When they had reached the door and Horo stood facing the cold winds of approaching December, he said, "If you should happen to fall in love with me, I'll be waiting."

Ren stared at him and softly said, "If I ever get that desperate, I won't be worth waiting for." And the door closed with a small snap.

Ashuri: well here was chapter four. And its long. And Ren's being a jerk.

Ren: I'm always a jerk. What makes him so special?

Horo: I love you!

Ren: gah!

Ashuri: yeah. If you want to find out what happens next stay tuned. Ren won't be such a jerk in the future chapters. Questions? Comments? Read and review.
