The title of this chapter will be understood after reading this chapter all the way through. Until that point, just enjoy that it looks cool because it's in another language. ;)
Attente pour un Signe means "Waiting for a Sign"
Now, without further ado...
Chapter 3
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finding Renge wasn't hard for Kyoya. He just asked some of the maids and butlers if they saw her walk by them, and they just pointed him in the direction that she had went. He eventually found the door to her room, where 2 guards were standing outside of.
"Excuse me, is Renge in her room?" Kyoya asked one of the guards.
"Why?" one guard asked.
"I'd like to see her" Kyoya said.
The guard sighed and knocked on Renge's door "Madame? There's a young man standing out here, he wishes to see you."
Kyoya took a step back when he saw the door open, and a very depressed Renge standing in the doorway. Her face was red and damp from crying so hard and for so long. She wasn't wearing her school uniform anymore, instead she was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt with her favorite pop idol on it.
"What do you want?" Renge wouldn't look at him.
"I'd like to come in" Kyoya said "Since it's Thursday, and on Thursdays we'll be staying here."
"I know. You're living at my house, I never said that you'd be living with me" Renge hissed.
"No, I'm staying with you" Kyoya needed to know more about Renge if they were going to pull off this 'happy couple' shit for the press.
"No! I'd like to have my privacy, if you don't mind. Oh-so-great, Ootori!" Renge mocked him.
"Privacy? Well, I've already seen all of you, Renge. Let's not forget that" Kyoya reminded her and then Kyoya got an idea "That night, you were so hot."
"Shutup" Renge said coldly, looking at the ground.
"Your pussy was so wet, and everytime I added another finger, you'd moan louder and louder" Kyoya tormented her with a night that now, she'd rather forget.
"Shutup."
"And the way you sucked my dick, it was like an art. And it was just amazing when you insisted that I cum in your mouth" Kyoya continued to torment her.
"Shutup."
"And do you remember when you came on my dick and you said 'You like that, don't you?' and proceeded to give me a handjob" Kyoya smirked.
"Shutup! Just shut the hell up!" Renge screamed "I know what happened! I was there! Unfortunatly though, you don't have to suffer the after-effects of that night, I do!"
With that, Renge slammed her door shut, leaving Kyoya standing outside her room, speechless. Kyoya's original plan was to make Renge think about that night and how intimate they were, and to realize that she'd given up her privacy the night she had sex with him. But she was to stubborn. He should've realized that before he said all of those things.
"I'm guessing she doesn't want to see you..." one guard said, chuckling.
"What does she mean by 'the after-effects'" the other guard asked.
"She's pregnant" Kyoya replied.
"Madame is pregnant!?" the guards said in unison, clearly shocked by this.
Kyoya nodded and backed up a bit so that he could lean against the wall. Gradually, he slumped down to the floor. He would wait hours if he had to, but eventually Renge would have to come out of her room and when she did, Kyoya would go in.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was 11:00pm when the door to Renge's room flew open and then shut it one swift movement. Kyoya looked up and saw Renge, still in sweatpants, zipping up a sweatshirt. She had a handbag in tow and a pair of new converse sneakers on. Her usual pink bow was replaced by a silk black one.
"Where are you going?" Kyoya asked, adjusting his glasses.
Renge glanced at the young man "Out."
"Out where?" Kyoya inquired as he stood up.
Renge glared at him. She hated that he was so much taller than her, and much stronger. He could easily overpower her. But, she was a very resourceful person, if she couldn't hurt him physically, she'd piss him off verbally. And thank goodness, she knew just how to do that. So, she didn't respond to his question, she just started walking down the hallway.
"Renge? RENGE?" Kyoya wasn't following her, he was just screaming down the hall.
"Why don't you just worry about yourself? You're pretty good at doing that, so it shouldn't be to hard" Renge stopped at the top of stairs and glared at him from down the hall.
"It's like an unwritten law, I have to worry about my child, and since you're carrying my child, I have to worry about you. I obligated to, and believe me, I hate it" Kyoya said coldly.
Renge didn't say anything for a moment before finally saying "I'm going to take a walk, I need to get some fresh air."
"So open a window" Kyoya suggested rudely.
"It's not the same" Renge turned away from him.
"It basically is" Kyoya shot back.
"No! It's not the same thing! Because if I were to go back to my room and open a window, I would still have to sit there and know that one of the most vile men on this planet is sitting right outside the door. But if I take a walk, then at least I know that the most vile man on this planet is a mile away, which honestly isn't far enough away to suit me!" Renge snapped.
Kyoya didn't say anything. He just stood there in silence. The only thing that broke the silence was Renge's feet tapping down the stairs, the sound of some questioning maids, and then the door slamming. Only then did he decide something that would make Renge wrong.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Renge walked down the dimly lite streets. The only sounds were that of passing cars, and the occasional person walking down the sidewalk. But she quickly passed them and then she'd be back to the sound of the cars. She imagined those cars as her dreams, passing her by.
Marry Miyabi. A blue Nissan passed her by.
Become an actress like her mother was. A grey Honda passed her by.
Do 100 different cosplays. A red Toyota passed her by.
Live a happy life. A black Suzuki passed her by.
She stopped walking and clutched her handbag tightly. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. She'd made it through so many things her life already, surely, she could make it through this. She looked up at the sky as tears trickled slowly down her cheeks.
"Mom, I know you're testing my strength. I can handle this because you'd never give me more than I can handle. But please, give me a sign that Kyoya isn't as bad as he comes off to be. In every spare moment, I try to imagine Kyoya as a good man. I try to picture him to be kind, loving, and sweet. Like Miyabi. But he just hasn't came around, and I'm not sure if he ever will. But please, Mom, help me. I need you to help me and guide me along through this. I'm still a kid myself, how am I supposed to handle having a child and getting married? Mom...help...." Renge said allowed, as if her mom was standing right there.
Renge wiped her wet cheeks with the back of her hands before continuing her walk. She'd might as well make the best of her time away from Kyoya. As she was walking along, she was stopped by someone who grabbed her arm.
"Hey baby" it was a middle-aged drunken man. He was wearing jeans and a worn out t-shirt.
"Let go!" Renge demanded as the man pulled her farther into the alley. She dropped her handbag in the process.
"Bend over, bitch! This won't take long" the man forcibly bent her over. He unzipped his pants and swiftly slid her sweatpants and underwear down. The man began grinding against her butt.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Renge cried.
At the moment, her mind was in a frenzy. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to protect her unborn child, but she simply wasn't strong enough to do that, and screaming wasn't going to help her. There was nobody around. She kept telling herself that this isn't happening. This isn't happening.
Just as the man was about to start his fun and Renge's hell. Someone showed up. At first Renge couldn't see who it was because she was being gently ushered to the sidewalk where to fell to the ground in a heap. She looked up and saw the man that was previously trying to rape her, being beat up by a rather tall, dark haired man. A few minutes later, the man was running off and the guy who had came to her rescue, turned around and faced her, his hands still in tight fists.
Renge couldn't see who it was until he stepped into the light. But the moment he didnt, she was so greatful and confused at the same time. It was Kyoya. He knelt down beside her and helped her pulled her underwear and sweatpants off because she was shaking to badly to do it herself. Kyoya was actually shaking a bit himself.
"W-Why...H-How?" Renge stuttered.
"Why? Because you're carrying my child and we're going to be married, you belong to me and I won't let any other man have sex with you. Ever. And how? I was following you this whole way" Kyoya admitted.
At first Renge wanted to yell at him because he claimed that she 'belonged to him' and also because he'd followed her. But then she thought about how he'd saved her. He saved her. Their unborn child wouldn't be that much at risk, altough there was still some risk. The most risk came to her, and Kyoya recognized that and saved her.
"Thank you" Renge looked at him "For saving me..."
"Yeah" Kyoya mumbled, as he got up as grabbed her handbag. As he grabbed her handbag, something fell out of it. It was the pregnancy test that Renge had taken that morning. Kyoya picked up the small stick and looked at it for a moment "So, you really are pregnant. At times throughtout the past few hours, I'd been wondering if it was true or if you were just lying to get your way and have me."
Renge stood up and snatched her handbag away from him "You really think that I'd put up with your bullshit if I wasn't pregnant with our child? And honestly, Kyoya, there may have been a time when I did want to have you all to myself, but during that time, I must've been high because I can't imagine how any woman in her right mind would want you!"
With that, Renge spun around on her heel and stormed off down the sidewalk. She knew that Kyoya would be following her back home, so she didn't have anything to worry about. Meanwhile, Kyoya was still standing where he had been before Renge had stormed off. He raised an eyebrow at her comment. Maybe Renge's right this time? But earlier, she was wrong. She wasn't going to be a mile away from him if she took a walk, because no matter when, where, or why, Kyoya would follow her to make sure that nothing happened to her. But did that mean that he cared for Renge?
According to Kyoya, it didn't mean anything.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Kyoya eventually caught up to Renge, and the two walked back to Renge's house in silence, besides the occasional passing car, in which at that point, Renge would note her dreams that were passing her by. Oddly enough, Kyoya thought about doing that too, but then he began to think about dreams that were passing him by with the taking on of this new life, and he realized that he didn't have any dreams that were going to pass him by. But he wasn't going to tell Renge that. Besides, Renge looked to lost in her own sorrow of her mass loss of dreams and with every passing car, she seemed to get even more upset...if that was even possible at this point.
The two eventually made it back to Renge's mansion, and upon opening the front door, they were greeted by a frenzy of worried maids, butlers, guards, and of course, Renge's father. Akio ran up to Renge and pulled her into his chest and gave her quite possibly the longest hug in history. Kyoya quietly stood in the background. After Akio let his daughter go, he had some questions.
"Just where the hell have you two been?" Akio snapped "Nobody knew where you two ran off to!"
"We just...um..." Renge didn't know if she should tell her father about the man who tried to rape her or not, but after a quickly few seconds of contemplating, she decided not to tell him "...took a walk..."
Akio looked at both Renge and Kyoya. Renge's sweatpants were on backwards, her bow was falling out of her hair, and she looked a bit worn out. Kyoya's pants were hanging a bit low on his waist, two buttons on his shirt were missing and the remaining buttons weren't buttoned up right. His jacket was on backwards and his hair was a mess. Of course, Akio didn't know that Kyoya had this happen to him during his exchange with the man who tried to rape Renge.
"Did you two have sex?" Akio inquired, angered by the thought.
Renge's eyes widened and she started to blush. She was embarassed because all of the help was watching, and whispering things to each other.
"Um...well..." Renge felt like the right words were caught in her throat. She and Kyoya didn't have sex tonight, nor will they ever. The sex was a one time thing a few months ago, and that was it. But of course, she couldn't manage to tell her father this because she was to embarassed.
Akio glared at Kyoya "She's pregnant with your child, you'd think that that'd be enough for you. Can't you keep it in your pants?"
Akio didn't give Kyoya a chance to respond. He swiftly turned around and walked upstairs and out of sight. Even if Akio had given Kyoya a chance to explain, Kyoya didn't know what he would've said. He was still in shock. Did Akio know that Kyoya planned all of this? Was he that transparent? That meant that Kyoya would have to go to lengths to make his supposed 'love' for Renge more obvious. He pulled of the now crying Renge's arm and pulled her close to him.
"Let's go upstairs to your room" Kyoya suggested, running his fingers through her hair, which he admittedly enjoyed doing.
Renge had a tendency to forget past wrongs when she was really upset, he knew that she'd be pissed off once she calmed down, but she now she was merely an innocent girl who needed a shoulder to cry on and Kyoya would have to provide that shoulder, despite his unwillingness.
Kyoya led Renge upstairs and to her room. The guards let him in this time because he had a crying Renge with him. As soon as he kicked the door shut with his foot, he picked Renge up and lied her down on her bed. Renge wouldn't let go of her grip around his chest, so he was forced to lie down beside her while she cried into his chest. He didn't know why he let her stay hugged up to him, but he just did. Maybe it was because he was afraid of pushing on her stomach in the process of trying to pry her away, or maybe it was the fear of how pissed off she'd be if she was moved. After a little while, Renge stopped crying but she stayed in the same postition she was: hugged up to Kyoya. She didn't move because of what she'd asked her mom for earlier.
A sign.
A sign that Kyoya isn't a complete asshole.

Author's Note: It's pretty late, but I wanted to finish this chapter up. I originally planned on posting this chapter on Monday, but unfortunatly, I didn't get in finished in time and then on Tuesday I left for vacation and I didn't get back until late on Thursday night. So that's the reason for the slight delay of this chapter, but I think it was worth the wait. Because in this chapter you get to see how Kyoya might be an asshole in general, but he still has his moments and even though he's in denial, he does still care.
