Darkened Jealousy—Chapter 7: Burning Hearts
OMGOMGOMGFHKSLKJH So many views in ONLY TWO DAYS! I got like, 650 views from Yesterday at 10:00 to now (5:25)
I'm so glad you guys like it! I hope to make a lot more chapters, (hopefully). By the way, if you guys would like to send me some plot suggestions, I'd be happy to look them over.
I know someone PMed me saying they thought Reino would tell Kyoko that Ren killed on purpose in a gang, so I incorporated that :) You know who you are :P
I hope to update A LOT more often, but more-so on the Weekends. (It would help if my Laptop was fixed, but sadly, it isn't :l)
Anywho, Enjoy!
~~~Kyoko's POV~~~
"STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" My inner voice screamed at me, waving red flags at me internally.
Oh god, why did I ask Ren that question?
I saw his eyes darken momentarily, a flicker of sadness crossing his gaze before he looked back up at me, his eyes sorrowful.
"Is that why you've been running from me…?" He asked, and I nodded. "Well then… I guess I need to tell you the full story, Kyoko. First, though, you need to promise me you will listen to the entire story."
I could only nod my head at that point, my throat constricting as I feared the worse.
(A/N: I don't know his full past. If this is wrong, I do apologize, but the full details aren't out yet.)
He sighed, moving to sit beside me before he began. "Kyoko, I did kill a man. His name was Rick… and he was like a father to me. When I was a teen, I would constantly get into fights because of other kids teasing me, saying that I was only famous because of my parents."
"One day, I got so angry and beat up a guy. Rick was always trying to stop me from fighting, and he saw me as I was running across a road trying to chase the guy I was after."
"Rick pursued me, telling me to stop, and he got hit by a car…" He said with a pause, his hair covering his face so I couldn't see his expression.
"His Fiancée… she blames me. Even to this day, she hates me, and I don't blame her… maybe if I wasn't such an asshole, maybe Rick wouldn't have died…"
"He died on impact, and I can still remember his blood spraying the ground… his skull dented and his eyes unfocused… I will never get that image out of my head. I killed the one person who tried to save me…"
I stared, open-mouthed at him. "D-did you kill… anybody e-else?" I said, hoping and praying I was wrong.
"No, Kyoko, I didn't." He said, looking up at me with such a sorrowful expression… I felt so awful. How could he bear such a dark past… and tell nobody about it? "I killed a man. His blood is on my hands. It doesn't surprise me you were afraid of me, after all, I'm sure Reino already had told you thi—"
I pulled him into a hug, stunning him into silence as I spoke. "Ren, you aren't a murderer. Reino told me you were in a gang… and you killed several people including a man that was like your father in a Drive-by shooting."
"It wasn't your fault… Ren. If those kids never picked on you, then you wouldn't have fought them, nor would anything like that would've happened. How could you know that Rick was going to die chasing you? You had been trying to defend yourself and make it stop. I'm so sorry for running from you…" He looked at me with shocked eyes, his gaze wavering as he hugged me back.
Just at that moment, Yashiro burst into the room panting, looking around, obviously for Ren. His eyes widened as his gaze landed on the two of us in the corner. After I looked down, I kind of figured out why he was looking so shocked at us.
I had Ren seemingly pinned against the side of the wardrobe, my arms locked around his neck. His shirt was off, and from someone who didn't know the context, it would look like I was straddling his hips.
I quickly leapt off of Ren, my face burning; I was sure I looked like a tomato. It was so embarrassing! It wasn't like that at all—well, not at that moment.
"Y-Y-Yashiro! It isn't what it looks like—" I tried to explain, but he shook his head, throwing up his arms as he tried to suppress his fangirl-like screams and failed.
"I'm just going to leave you two alone!" He said, squealing before he practically skipped out the door, not giving either of us a chance to speak.
"U-uh… I'M GOING TO LEAVE NOW! I'M SO SORRY!" I screeched as I flew out the door like hell was on my heels, leaving a dumbfounded Ren to get dressed.
I could feel my cheeks burning. I was so ashamed of myself! How could I let someone see me like that on top of Ren?! It would damage his reputation! I should just be gald it was only Yashiro, not someone who hated me.
~~Meanwhile…
"Oh President… I have some Interesting news for you…"
I know I'm going to hate myself for this later.
Why you ask? Well, it's because I have no idea what to write next. It'll probably come to me when I'm trying to go to sleep. I have SOME clue as to what, but it isn't completely out there yet… .
Hope you like the fluff. This isn't my best chapter, but hey, I tried. Sorry if anyone seems OOC…
