Chapter Twelve: The Black Rose

// = character thought

"You sound surprised? Didn't you know that your sister and your cousin were part of one of the most manipulative gangs around? My, my, don't you take such interest in your siblings' lives! Anyway, Quatre, have you decided whether or not to tell them yet?"

"Hai. I-I will tell them." Quatre stammered quietly answered.

"Are you sure, Q? You don't have to tell them if you're not ready (I like Duo's way of thinking! Maybe I should put off telling you for another few chapters! Mwahahahaha *Chiba Duo attacks again with Chiba scythe * Ouch! Fine, fine! I'll stop torturing the readers! You're no fun! *Author sulks*)"

"It's ok, Duo, I've got to tell someone sometime, I might as well start now.

As you may or may not know, me and Duo came from a small town. You know, the type where everyone knows everyone else's business? Our town was particularly narrow-minded. Shortly after Duo turned thirteen, he became fascinated with the real Shinigami, and started dressing like a catholic priest for about a year and a half. That was before Solo and the others showed up.

Solo was part of a gang, a Goth one, and as far as we can tell, a major scene one at that. Solo was a nice guy, he and Duo quickly became friends. Duo introduced us as well, and we got on ok too. Solo was the one who got Duo into Goth. Duo, of course, had to get me into it to. It didn't exactly go down well around town.

Duo and me started hanging out with Solo. We never went around wit him and his gang, though."

"Solo and me even dated for a while. He was my first ever boyfriend. But soon after we started dating, the rumours started going around" Duo added.

"Rumours about how me and Duo had joined the gang, and about how both of us were…involved with Solo. How we were both….involved with not only him, but all the guys in the gang.

Duo, being Duo, could laugh it off, making most of the town believe it was only that, rumours. But, the rumours about me….they believed them. To start with, I didn't really care when more or less everyone in town began to ignore and shun me, but then…."

"Me and Solo got serious, I-I sorta forgot about Quatre for a while." Duo quietly said, gazing at the floor.

" I was happy for Duo, really I was. But, then….the gang Solo was in started to notice us. They knew Duo was off limits `cause of Solo…but…then they noticed me. They notice how I was often alone, and how the others ignored me.

One night, I was walking back from the library. Although it was the start of the summer, it was getting dark pretty early, so, I decided to take a short cut.

I took one of the small back alleys, one that I had taken with Duo a hundred times before.

But, th-they must have seen me going down there by myself. I could here them following me. I tried to speed up, to get away, but…there was too many of them.

There was about eight of them. They followed me down the alley, and they managed to catch up with me. They…….they………
