PLEASE, R & R

( OH! And I don't own Papa Roach or SK )


The Chinese Shaman lay in his bed. He usually woke up early but he woke a few more minutes then usual so he laid there in thought.

' She's really back... '

He sighed and sat up as he heard Jun call him to breakfast. He grabbed a pair of his baggie black pants and walked down the stairs. He lived with his sister in a little house near Yoh's. He didn't want to go back to China, so his sister offered to live with him for a while.

' I wonder how she is right now.. '

He walked into the kitchen and sat down. He grabbed the first thing he always finishes first, His milk. He ate silently as Jun sat across from him, just watching. She smiled and broke the silence.

" So how was the party..? "

" Fine.. "

" Meet anyone new? "

" No.. "

Jun frowned at Ren's lack of interest in the conversation. She sighed but then though of an idea. She walked to him and took his finished dishes, then walked to the sunk and set them down. She walked back to the thinking Tao and patted him on the head, with a smile.

" Did you see anyone you miss? "

" ... " Ren was a bit shocked by her question ' Could she know..? ' He then stood up.

" Where are you going? " Jun frowned hoping she didn't upset him.

" Out. "

He walked to the coat rack and pulled off his long Black trench coat and yellow scarf. He looked back at his sister then put on the items and put on his shoes. He opened the door and stepped out. Jun sighed again, crossed her arms and shook her head.

Later on that day Ren was walking though the park, Out of Boredom. There was really nothing to do at his place, but talk to his sister. Though he didn't mind he just didn't feel like talking to anyone. He sighed and walked to an Ice Cream stand. He ordered a Vanllia Chocolate Swirl, and went to sit down. As he walked to the bench he saw a little girl crying on the ground.

He walked next to her and frowned. She rubbed her eyes and pointed to her Ice Cream that fell on the floor, then to her balloon that was flowing away. It was to high for Ren to reach, and then she explained how she lost her Mother.

" Don't worry, we all have are bad days.. "

" B-B-But " she sniffled.

" Here " He smiled and handed her his Ice cream.

" I can have it Mister? " She sniffed but a small smile crossed her face.

" Of course, Then we'll get you a new balloon and look for your mother. " Ren smiled lightly.

" Thank you, Mister! " She smiled as she stood up and took Ren's hand.

He bought her a new balloon and walked around the park. The little girl jumped and tucked on Ren's sleeve when she saw a tall woman. Ren walked to the woman who was crying and looking around.

" Excuse me... Is this your daughter? "

" MOMMY! " The girl hugged her.

" Oh Thank Goodness! Thank you so much! " The woman picked up the girl and held for tightly.

" It's nothing. " He was about to walk away but was stopped by the girl.

" Thank you Mister, Here " She handed him a bunny plushie and smiled sweetly.

" Oh no really I- "

" Please take it. " The girl whined.

" Alright.. " Ren sighed and patted her on the head.

He walked home holding the bunny. He stared at the small rabbit and smiled, ' I have to ask Yoh a question.. ' He changed course and walked to the Asakura's home. As he arrived he knocked on the door stuffing the rabbit in his pocket.

" Yes? " The brow haired teen answered lazy-ish " Oh Ren, Hey! "

" Do you have Kara's address? "

" Hmm? Yea.. One Sec " The teen walked inside then came back out with a piece of paper.

" Thanks.. " Ren sighed

" Why do you need it? " Yoh smiled

" No reason.. " He took the paper and began to walk away. Yoh smiled at the Chinese shaman and watched him walk away. ' Good Luck. ' Yoh thought and shut his door.

Ren appeared in front of Kara's apartment number and sighed. ' 1521..' He held his hand up to knock. ' I don't know... Should I bother her? She may be painting or something...' Ren remembered over hearing Kara talk to Yoh about her artwork. He knocked on the door lightly and waited. He sighed and tried again, But nothing.. ' She's busy.. '

He jiggled the handle, to see that the door was unlocked.

He would usually never enter someone's home with out permission but something in his mind told him to. He opened the door and slowly walked in, shutting the door behind him. He looked around... Everything was ...dark. The curtains were closed, only a single low lamp was on, and it was coming from the back. He followed the light but as he did he saw something on the floor. Bandages? He picked them up and continued walking. ' I've got a bad feeling... '

He came to the door with the small light. The door was cracked open and he could see the lamp on the dresser, and a few posters of bands. He cracked the door open a bit more, and to his horror there she was, on the floor...she laid there..Motionless. He ran to her side to find a red subsinse trailing down her arm and a razor by her hand. His eyes widen " KARA! "
