Why is it so dark?

Her hands felt for the surroundings around her, fingers sliding over the bark of a tree. Ran drew her hand back when she felt a sting on her finger, the pain resembling that of a paper cut. The trees hovered over her, blocking off the sky, her eyes searched desperately for light and she stumbled over a root; scraping her knees and tearing her skirt.

"Takeru-kun..."

Said man stared down at her, and Ran saw a hint of lust glimmering in his brown eyes. She cradled herself on instinct, fear suddenly overcoming her. Strange. Why was she so scared? She loved him didn't he? Ran felt his hand on her chest, stroking it lightly and rhythmically before it went down and down...

A whimper escaped from her chapped lips. Silence engulfed the room when Takeru pressed his mouth to hers, his tongue forcing its way into her mouth. Ran felt her blood go cold when his hand brushed against the button of her top.

She struggled to stand, her hands digging into the dirt. Ran gasped for breath as she started to run once more, heart palpitating like a madman's. The darkness seemed like it would swallow her, and her breath wilted away.

Then she saw it. Light.

There was no hesitation as she fled out of the darkness, abandoning her heels because they slowed her down. She had to get out of there.

Fast, slow, fast slow. She couldn't keep up any longer. The sheets felt alien on her sweat soaked skin as her hands gave way, her bare body crashing onto the soft mattress. Both her body and mind were numb and she stared at the man hovering over her, who was still concentrated in what he was doing.

Fast, slow, fast, slow. Her body suddenly straightened, and his hands tightened around her waist. Ran shivered. His touch felt so cold.

Who are you? I don't know you.

Then his hands were gone and she felt the mattress sink beside her. Through half-lidded eyes, she saw him...smirk?

Oh god. What had she done?

Ran felt the cool breeze sweep through her hair as she climbed out of the forest. Her legs suddenly gave way, leaving her to fall onto the grass. "Come on! Stand up!" Her words nearly choked her as she hit her legs lightly with curled fists. She had to continue running, if not...if not...he woul—

"RAAAAN!"

Too late. She watched in horror, as a shadow escaped from it cage, running straight towards her. She felt his arms enclose her upper arms and she flinched.

"Don't you ever do that again, you hear me?" Conan shouted between breaths as he choked and spluttered, trying to catch his breath. Suddenly he looked up, staring straight into her eyes; as if piercing through her very soul.

"Ran-neechan, I have some things I want to say to you."

Her shoulders tensed and her eyes snapped shut.

"You definitely are not dirty Ran-neechan and frankly I don't care even if you are because in the end I still love you—"

She pulled his collar down and kissed him.
