Pain.

that's all I feel right now.

I slowly open my eyes.

"ugh, what happened last night?" I mummer sitting up.

It feels like a horse asked me for a piggyback ride.

I chuckle at the thought of someone giving a horse a piggyback ride.

I glance out my window, the sun looks like melted butter

in my Peripheral vision I see something at the end of my bed.

oh shit! what is that!

I slowly turn my head.

I turn my head fully and see...

Nothing?

Man, y/n you big baby!

Always scared of something.

I scold myself silently as I slowly get up.

Aw shit! what happened to my back.

I look down and see I'm fully dressed.

Man, was I that out of it last night? 

What did I do exactly?

I open my bedroom door.

 I'm alone.

right when that thought came to me I hear footsteps downstairs.

oh shit!

who's that?!

I tiptoe to my mothers room and grab her bat.

I cast a longing look at her perfectly made bed and sigh.

she must've gone on a business trip.

that's when I see a sticky note labeled" business trip. take care, love mom"

great, now I'm seeing this?

I roll my eyes and make my way down the hall.

okay, I'm going to hit them but not too hard.

I get to the doorway when the floorboards under my foot creaks.

shit!

the footsteps stop for a second before they start making their way towards me.

I freeze.

it's now or never y/n!

I squeeze my eyes close and swing the bat.

the bat connects with the wall and strong hands grab my wrist, pinning  me to the wall.

the person stands behind me in silence.

that's when I realize our position.

my butt is pressed against their crotch.

well I know it's a guy now.

a blush creeps up my neck.

"w-who a-are you? what d-do you want!" I say trying to sound tough and fail miserably.

in a swift movement the man flips me around to face him.

my breath hitches.

those eyes!

their too....

familiar?

I can't even force myself to speak.

the man continues to stare coldly at me.

come on y/n snap out of it!

fight!

kick!

do something !

" l-let me go!" I say trying to wrench away from him.

he smirks at my feeble attempt of an escape before he glares at me.

he leans closer to my face.

is he going to kiss me?

w-we just met!

" tell me" he commands in a voice so deep and calm it makes my knees weak.

talk idiot!

"I- I ....I" I stutter.

he studies my face.

" wha- what are you talking about?" I ask trying to focus.

his grip gets tighter.

" that girl. why did she attack you?" he demands.

girl?

what girl?

"a-attacked?" I ask trying to remember.

he narrows his eyes as if he thinks I'm lying.

I close my eyes and search my mind for a answer.

girl...

girl.......

girl....?

GIRL!!!

that's when it all hits me like a ton of bricks.

I was attacked last night!

b-by ayono!

she sliced my back!! that's why it hurts!

wait she said something to me.

w-what did she say?

" answer me!" he  practically squeezing tighter, hurting me in the process.

" I-I don't know!" I shout back in his face lying.

his glare intensifies by one hundred.

" your lying!" he says in a dangerously low voice.

I start shaking uncontrollably, in fear of more pain.

but surprisingly it doesn't come.

I look at his eyes and see an odd softness in them.

I look deeper and I can see pain.

deep pain...

sadness...

never-ending sadness.

then all of a sudden it's gone.

his eyes go blank.

he slowly let's me go.

he looks ashamed?

I watch shocked at this mans actions.

he slowly backs away from me before turning and walking away.

"w-wait!" I shout surprised at my request.

he freezes.

" I-I lied, I do know why she attacked me." I say with my head hung.

silence.

no response.

only silence.

I glance up and jump.

he's standing in front of me.

just watching me.

waiting.

waiting for an explanation.

"m-my friend taro is her obsession, a-and  she has been killing girls that like him around school..." I pause gathering as much information from my memories as I can.

" did you like ... taro?" the man questions.

I blush at the sudden question.

"u-uh w-well I d-don't know." I stutter.

I'M A NERVOUSWRECK! 

"what else?" he asks still watching me.

"w-well I remember ayono started that rumor about me at school and she went out of her way to make me uncomfortable... l-like staring at me. not like normal stare like a undying hatred type of stare. that's when I knew something was up. then the next day, the day I was attacked she was following me and taro to school and we went to the fountain and were reading a book when..." I stop remembering the feeling of taro's lips on my neck." t-then I-I went to the bathroom and the lights went out and I left then later I was attacked by ayono." I  ramble cutting out some pieces.

he stands there looking at my smaller frame compared to his tall, lean, toned form.

god, I'm drooling.

"hm.." is all he says in response.

that's when I remember something from that night.

red eye?

he has red eyes!

did he save me?

I look up at him with a newfound interest.

he seems lost in thought no longer looking at me.

"e-excuse me sir, w-were you t-the one who saved m-me?" I ask in a tiny voice feeling shyer than usual.

silence again.

was it not him?

I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder.

" yes." he says simply.

I look up and meet his intense gaze.

his eyes really are amazing.

"I have a plan." he says.

a plan?

" what is it?" I ask curiously.

" bait." he says simply.

"w-what?" I say confused.

" you can bait ayono." he says calmly.

my heart starts beating faster.

"w-why me?" I ask even though I know the answer.

he stares at me.

" because she obviously wants to kill you for taro's heart." he says bluntly.

I can't handle the pressure of the situation and I burst out in tears.

all I could think of is how gruesome my death would be, how it would pain my mother to see me in a casket.

...................................................................................................................................

nemesis POV...( quick note: so nemesis is basically talking to him self aka conscience which is underlined. we good? good!)

she's... crying.

I wasn't trained on how to deal with human emotion.

but she makes me feel weird.

how do I stop these so called tears?

they must be what's causing this...feeling?

I'm not supposed to be able to feel.

they say it will interfere with my job.

 what if I were to...

no.

they say that's how relationships start.

we'll friendly ones at least.

enough!

I need to get her to shut up!

but...

how?

d-do I touch her?

I've haven't had contact with someone unless I was murdering them.

but the only way to get to the target is through her.

I let the Aishi girl free because of this same weird feeling I have now.

is it pity?

anguish?

sadness?

ugh, enough conversating just do something.

a faint memory comes to mind and my body moves on it's own. 

your hugging her dipshit!

d-do I let go?!

well, yeah! wait no...she's hugging back.

hug her tighter!

w-why?

I-I don't know just do it!

o-okay

I make my grip tighter as her small frame continues to shake with sobs.

this is.....

odd.

why do people like this.

I haven't experienced this....in a while.

you mean years?

shut up!

she's done crying.

do I let go?

she hasn't let go sooo...

no?

I don't know! I'm just your conscience.

ugh ,whatever. I'm letting go.

I remove my arms slowly, since she seems reluctant to let go.

.........................................................................................................................................

y/n POV

...............

He let go.

why do I feel...sad ?

well he smelled good.

surprisingly, he smells like cinnamon.

I sound so creepy.

" Do you think you can do it?" he asks causing me to look up at him.

I can't speak.

Should I help him?

Do I want to help him?

"Trust me." he says.

Those words were the words that changed my life.

The words and those eyes that made me say....

"Okay...I'll help."

Those hypnotizing red eyes that drew me in forever.

That perfect Red.

................................................................................................................................

Okay, first off I owe you an apology for the time it took for this crap, I was typing this at first thinking it was good but then I realized I made nemesis waaaaaay too seductive and I made the reader to chill with the situation so I restarted.  it took so long but I finally did it! I'm  really sorry for the wait. time for le questions. 

How do you think the plan will end? good? bad?

Should taro meet nemesis? no? yes?

This is a big question here that I really need help with: what should nemesis's name be.

Because I went on the website and y'know nemesis -Chan has no real name. I've seen people use nemeko for his name and I didn't know if you guys would be cool with that so that's why I'm asking! so get back to me on that.

wow, I typed too much.

love you nuggets,
