I FINALLY UPDATED!
Sorry, I had writers block for a month..
ENJOY!
Kara and Ren sat at a table in the food court, near a wonderful fountain. They chuckled and nibbled away at their food, talking about friends, family, and any other thing that's funny to them. Ren sighed lightly and sipped his drink staring at Kara eating for a moment. Kara looked up at him and blinked, she cocked her head to the confused.
"What...?" She blinked again.
"..." Ren blinked back and there was a moment of silence.
"...Ok, Is there something on my face..." Kara wiped her face.
"Oh!" Ren noticed she saw him staring; he looked away "Its nothing."
"Ok." Kara blinked confused again.
" Kara... " Ren sighed, "How do you feel about relationships..."
Kara looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"
He started to get nervous and tapped the tips of his fingers together. " You know…Love?"
Kara lowered her head and looked at her hands on the table. Ren looked worried; did he hit a soft spot? She sighed and shook her head. "No."
"No...?"
" Never again… I will never..."
He felt like she was talking to him, and felt hurt. "Oh." Was all he said as he picked up his drink and sipped on it. "What happen-"
" I don't want to talk about it… Please." She continued to look at her hands.
Later on at the park, Ren and Kara were walking though the park on the way to her apartment to drop her off. Ren was being very quite, but Kara seemed to feel better and just looked around the park. She felt a little weird that Ren wasn't talking though, but figured that he didn't feel to well, from the food.
As they got to her apartment Kara smiled at him, " Thank you, and I hope you feel better!"
Ren just nodded and walked away, when Kara shut for door.
Week later
Kara was walking home from work, thinking about how Ren was doing. She had not seen him since the last time they met. She looked at the park and decided to walk though and take the short cut. The road became dark down but she blew it off, until she was grabbed from behind.
The Chinese woman walked up the stairs to her brother's room and knocked quietly. "Ren...?" She asked a bit worried. It seemed ever since last week; he had been down in the dumps. She opened the door and saw him lying on the bed, arms and legs spread out.
"Are you alright?" She asked, " You've been down all week. What happen...?"
" Nothing." He replied lifelessly.
"…Are you sure?" She sat next to him on his bed, " You can talk to be about it."
"No..." He thought for a moment, " But I think I may go for a walk…"
Kara was terrified of the man who attacked her, what scared her more is that she knew them. The gang leader had his knife out has he lined it across her arm and jeans, just enough to cut her and rip her clothes.
"Don't think I don't remember…" He smirked at her lifting her shirt.
" Leave-" she was cut off by a gag and a smack.
"I don't remember asking you to speak." He growled and curved his initials in her stomach.
Ren walked around a park, still feeling bummed out about the whole "never love again" thing from Kara. Just then he hear a few noises coming from behind a bush. He stood up and walked curiously to the bush, and gasped at the scene.
Kara lay on the ground whimpering for him to stop but failing. Ren was filled with anger and jumped from the bushes saying, "Leave her alone!" He semi-whispered and semi yelled.
"Oh?" The man stood up and smirked "What are you going to do...?"
Ren just glared at him as a warning.
"Step down, little boy… " The man snickered, as did has gang. "This doesn't concern you."
"It does if she's involved…" Ren growled getting agitated " Leave her be."
The man snickered and crossed his arms "Oh, and I'm suppose to be scared of you?"
" Yes…" Ren glared a death-piercing glare.
The man laughed as his goons began to move toward Ren. Ren got into a fighting position and glared at all the men. Now, he had wished he bought Bason along. The first man charged at him full force but Ren dodged him, punching the second man in the stomach and pushing him into the first...

...Kara's eyes opened slowly as she woke from her daze. The moonlit night lighten the room from its dark state. She looked around then jolted up, causing pain to shoot though her body. She was in a hospital, again... Then she remembered what happen.
Ren was being held back by four, huge men, as the gang leader punched and kicked him. Ren spit blood onto the ground and hissed at the leader.
" Had enough?" The leader smirked.
" Have you...?" Ren smirked back with blood dripping from his mouth, looking insane.
The man cut Ren with the knife, a cross his arms and chest.
Kara watched helplessly, wishing for this all to stop. She felt anger rise in her body, growling, and then her body became heavy. She screamed out.
" REN!" Kara yelled out, panicking, her breathe quickening.
Lucky her, a nurse outside the door heard her and rushed in, " Ms. Topazhi are you alright?" The nurse asked worried.
" Where is he?" Kara yelled out.
"Shh!" The nurse stood up, "Mr. Tao? ... He's in his room. "
" I HAVE to see him!" Kara began to get teary eyed.
" Yes, Ms.Topazhi..." The nurse stood up, " Follow me."
" Ok..." Kara got up, but flinched at her pain.
" Be careful, wow you two must really love one another. " The nurse helped her and smiled.
" ...? " She blushed big time at the nurses comment.
Ren lay peacefully in his bed, the moonlight shinning on his pale face as he slept. Kara slowly opened the door to Ren's room. She looked inside, staring at his soft face. The nurse let her go in and sit by herself. Ren had a few bruises and many cuts all over his body and face.
Kara touched one of the scars across his cheek and gasped. She cried softly, she should have stopped him. Why did he even jump in? It was her battle, why did he need to jump in? He didn't deserve this to happen to him, she did.
Her tears fell upon his cheeks and he began to stir. His eyes opened slowly and turned to look at Kara's crying figure. His hand reached up and touched her soft face. Kara gasped and looked in his eyes.
" If you keep crying, I'll drown. "
" Ren... " She smiled, " Your ok... "
" Of course I am, you really think those guys can take me?"
" Yes..." The fox gal giggled.
" Hey!" The Chinese boy looked at her angry, but it looked more like a pout.
He wiped away her tears, smiling. She suddenly hugged him, shocking the Tao slightly.
A few weeks later
Kara and Ren were out of the hospital, but they seemed so much closer than before. They seem to go hang out more, with out the gang. She called him more; she even wanted to go with him to his check-ups at the hospital. The fox seemed very impressed by Ren's heroism on the day he saved her. She was starting to notice things about him...
Ren always seem to turn away when she said something cute. She also noticed how handsome he was. She always seemed to blush when he stared into her eyes. He was trying to be very polite with her, making sure she was happy. When they brushed past one another, they both looked away.
Maybe she was... No she can't be...
...But this was not like before...
Kara: Please Review!
I may Update faster XD
