Chapter Five: Afraid Of Ren

"I though you said you could walk?" Ren said, as he lifted Pirika onto his back; Pirika winced as Ren did so, as she had always been afraid of him, and the present situation, was just making her thoughts of him more frightening.

"Ren!" Jun scolded, "You have got to work on that bedside manner of yours!"

"Whatever," Ren shrugged, as he stood up, with Pirika on his back.

Pirika slightly cursed herself for collapsing. She had made it to the stairs, but when she tried to step up to the first stair she got a pain in her area. The pain had seized her, and that was when she had collapsed.

Pirika cringed in fright, as Ren adjusted her on his back.

"Ren, be careful!" Jun told him, mistaking Pirika's cringe of fright, for a cringe of pain.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Ren said, carelessly.

Jun gave her brother an uneasy look, then turned and began to climb the stairs; Ren followed behind. A little ways up the stairs, though, there was a loud, and frantic, knock at the door.

"Take her upstairs, Ren," Jun said, descending the stairs to the door, "I'll be right up."

"I can't take her…there!" Ren said, while his cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"Just take her to the door," Jun said, walking towards the front door.

"Argh," Ren called out, then turned and continued up the stairs, with a terrified Pirika on his back.

Jun opened the front door to revealed a, close to, hysterical Horohoro, and a fairly calm Ryu.

"My sister," Horohoro asked, his eyes wide with fright, "Manta said she was here!"

"Calm down, Horo," Jun ordered, a little alarmed by Horohoro's state.

"Where's my sister?" Horohoro demanded.

"Upstairs," Jun said, then added when Horohoro made for the stairs, "Taking a bath."

Horohoro stopped on the bottom stair then turned back to face Jun, and asked, in a still frantic voice, "Well, is she okay?"

"How about you calm down, first?" Jun suggested.

Horohoro took a breath, and closed his eyes, he then opened them and looked at Jun, "I'm sorry, I'm just worried, about Pirika."

"It's alright," Jun assured him.

Ryu stepped inside, and Jun shut the door behind him, as Horohoro asked Jun again about his sister.

"So, what happened to Pirika?" Horohoro asked.

"It seems she tripped and hit the back of her head," Jun explained; Horo's eyes grew wide.

"What?" Horo shouted, but calmed himself after seeing the warning look from Jun.

"Her head should be fine," Jun said, "I put some Chinese icy cream on it, it will help it heal faster."

"So, she's okay?" Horo asked again.

"Yes, she's fine," Jun confirmed.

Horohoro let out a deep breath, then whispered, "Good."

As Ren carried Pirika higher, and higher, up the stairs, Pirika grew more, and more frightened.

Pirika had always been terrified of Ren, and his dark, scowling attitude. So, being under the present circumstances, made everything about a thousand times worse.

What if he tries to rape me? Pirika asked herself, or drowns me in the bathtub!

Pirika watched as Ren got to the top of the stairs, and turned right.

Wait, right? Pirika, who had been to the Tao's house before, thought on horror, the guest bathroom is to the left of the stairs, not the right!

"Um, Ren?" Pirika started in a small voice, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

"What?" Ren barked, making Pirika recoil in fear; Ren didn't see since he was facing forward.

"You're…you're going the wrong way," Pirika pointed out in a voice that actually shook with fear.

"No, I'm not," Ren, said.

"Yes," Pirika said, and then as she started to really freak out, added, "Yes, you are!"

"I think I know my own house!" Ren half-shouted over his shoulder at her.

Pirika recoiled sharply, and closed her eyes as tears filled them, I was right! He's going to rape me I knew it!

Pirika opened her eyes, and noticed where Ren was taking her. He was taking her towards a door that led to a large room, with dark red carpets, and a high ceiling. It, also, had a king sized bed, which could only mean one thing.

It's Ren's bedroom! Pirika thought, at the sight of Ren's destination, and she began to cry once more.
