The girls remained quiet under the bed, while they saw the footsteps coming into the room. "That's Ren." Fabia whispered.

"You're right." Alice whispered back, agreeing with what she said. "Let's continue to observe."

Ren sighed and sat down on his bed, "Man, what a day." He grunted. He unbuttoned his shirt and lied down. He then felt a wave of pain across his chest. "Oh my gosh…" He moaned in pain.

He clenched the black bed sheets with his sharp fingernails. "NANAMI!" He yelled.

Meanwhile, under the bed, Fabia and Alice were keeping quiet. "I think I saw his shirt fall to the ground, do you think he is shirtless right now?" Fabia whispered.

"Don't ask derogatory questions like that Fabia!" Alice loudly whispered, blushing.

Nanami came running up the stairs and into his room. "Ren-sama!" She screeched and pushed him down. "Oh dear…Your cravings are becoming worse and worse every day." She fretted as she chained him to his bed.

"Why do you need to keep chaining me to the bed?" He hissed.

"Because it is for your own good and you don't go around breaking valuable things." Nanami explained to him.

"Fuck you!" Ren snapped, his eyes a glowering red.

"Ren!" Nanami scolded, leaving off the honorific. "Don't speak dirty language like that! Say you are sorry!"

"Fine, I'm sorry." Ren apologized, breathing heavily.

"Now just calm down, just wait and I'll get your brother." Nanami assured him. "Why do you have to get that shithole?" Ren shouted.

"Don't call your brother a shithole! He could save your life!" Nanami yelled. Ren's eyes then became bloodshot red.

"The curse has really got to you." Nanami noted.

"JUST GET HIM!" Ren shouted.

"Ok." Nanami said and left the room. Just as she was about to leave, she saw orange curls under the bed. " Gehabich? Are you under there?" She asked.

"Shit." Alice blurted and covered her mouth. "Alice!" Fabia whispered.

"Girls, get out of under there." The maid growled.

Alice and Fabia both crawled out of under the bed. "Why are you two here?" Nanami asked in a tone sounding not too friendly.

"Uh…" Alice started.

"We were just curious about Ren's problem." Fabia interrupted, giving Alice a wink. "Can you tell us what's wrong with him?"

Nanami shook her head. "I cannot tell you that." She said.

Fabia puffed her face up, "Why? If you tell us, we can at least try to help him."

Fabia then gave her puppy dog eyes. "Please tell us." She begged. "Puppy eyes won't work on me. But I will tell you guys anyway."

Fabia and Alice smiled.

"It all started way back 200 years ago…" Nanami started.

*FLASHBACK*

"You can't catch me Ren!" A little black haired boy yelled.

"Oh yeah?" The other boy yelled, he had dark skin and white hair. They both ran, the white haired boy trying to catch his half-brother. He then tripped. "Ren!" The black haired boy ran up to him. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah." Little Ren coughed. "Just a cut."

"Would you like me to help out with that?" A wispy voice asked.

Shun gasped, "Who are you?" He looked at the old lady who had gray hair and a black dress that arrived to them. "My name is Luna, I am a healing witch. Would you like me to heal you?" She asked.

"Sure." Ren said. "No, leave Ren alone you bratty witch." Shun screamed, walking to her. "Leave me alone you pesty boy. Little Boy, drink this." The old lady said, handing Ren a black bottle.

"What's this?" The white haired boy asked, looking at it skeptically. "It's medicine; drink it so your cut can go away." Luna told Ren. "Really?" Ren said, his lips curved into a smile.

Luna nodded. "Drink it young boy."

Ren opened the bottle. "Ren, don't drink it!" Shun shouted.

"Shut up Shun!" Ren shouted and drunk the liquid in the bottle. As he was done, he looked at his cut. "It's gone!" Ren exclaimed. He then felt a wave of nausea. "Oohh…I don't feel so good." He moaned.

"Kya ha ha ha ha!" Luna laughed. "Looks like my experiment has been complete!" She then flew away on her broom.

"Hey old witch! What did you do to my brother?" Shun yelled and tried to run after her, but she was gone.

"Ren…Are you alright?" Shun asked. "Not really." Ren moaned. "Get Mama!" He yelled.

"Ren, Your eyes…" Shun started. "Shut up and get Mama!" He yelled.

A couple of minutes later, Shiori Kazami and Shun arrived. "Ren, are you alright?" She asked. "No…Mama…" He started, his eyes turning red. "Ren, what happened?" She asked.

"An old witch named Luna came and gave Ren some medicine and he drunk it and he is like this now!" Shun explained.

Shiori gasped, "You should never take things from witches, and they put hidden stuff in there." She scolded. "Mama, I'm so sorry, I didn't know…" Ren moaned.

"Well let's go home." She said, carrying the weak boy and holding Shun's hand. "I'm hungry…" Ren moaned. "But you just ate 10 minutes ago." Shiori said.

"JUST GIVE ME FOOD NOW!" Ren shouted. "Oh dear…" She sighed with worry.

End of flashback

"That's sad." Alice sniffled, a couple of tears leaking out of her eyes.

"Unfortunately, that is the truth." Nanami sadly sighed. She then looked at Ren. "He has been like this, craving for things ever since that evil witch gave him that so called 'medicine'."

Fabia, Nanami, and Alice then heard a roar from Ren. "Oh dear…" Nanami said. "What's happening?" Fabia nervously asked. "Since I told you the story of Ren, He goes crazy now. Luna has said that if anyone tells the secret, things will turn for the worst." Nanami explained.

"How do you know that?" Alice asked, as the wind blew. "I used to be a servant for the witch." The maid answered, "Now one of you go get Shun!" She yelled.

"I'll go get Shun!" Alice called out and ran out of the room. Nanami then looked at Fabia. "You go try to calm Ren down!" She told the dark blue haired girl.

"Are you crazy!? Ren hates me!" Fabia yelled, through the wind. "You can calm him down. I know you can!" Nanami yelled.

Fabia sighed and tried to get to Ren, who was screaming, Fabia gasped and covered her mouth. Blood was all over his mouth. "WHAT…THE…FUCK…DO…YOU...WANT?" He yelled.

"Just try to calm down." Fabia begged. "I WON'T CALM DOWN! I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS FUCKIN BODY!" He yelled. "It's going to be fine." Fabia calmed him down.

"Ok, fine I will calm down." He sighed. The wind stopped. "Well, I know your secret now, so it's not that much of a big deal." Fabia said. "Yeah, you must think I am a jerk now." He calmly said.

"I don't think you're a big jerk at all. To be honest with you, I think you're an awesome guy. Even if you treat me like a jerk, I am proud to be your maid." Fabia smiled.

"R-Really?" Ren asked. Fabia nodded, her green eyes staring at Ren's blood red eyes. She leaned into Ren's face and pressed her lips against his. They kissed each other. Ren's anger slowly disappeared.

"Oh my…" Nanami started. Ren's eyes then turned red again, the chains broke. "Ren…" Fabia started. "Thanks…" He started. "But this won't work again next time." He whispered.

"Wait…What?" Fabia asked, "If you want my curse to go away. I will have to bite you." Ren said.
