Rum and the Rats: Episode One
Ran was staring at the black board, then suddenly her best friends voice interrupted her thoughts "Ran, Hurry up! We will be late." Sonoko said.
"Eh?!" Ran said softly averting her gaze away from the black board.
"Seriously Ran the class has ended and you are the only one left in the classroom, didn't we plan to go to the karaoke today? " Sera injected happily
"Yeah! Come on!" Sonoko said excitingly grabbing the arms of both high school girls, walking out from the class. After that she let loose of her friend's arms and started chattering random things.
BAM!
The girls suddenly heard a loud voice echoing through the staircase, which seemed like a threating one. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" A load husky voice roared from the staircase.
"Eh?" The three girls averted their gaze to the source of noise, Sonoko immediately clung onto Ran's sleeve while Sera ran down the stairs to check out what was going on. "Hey you!" Sera wailed at the barrel-chested beefy tanned guy who was gripping the collar of a tall slender greyish-brown haired boy with glasses. "Tsk,nani?!" The big guy said irritatingly. Shortly, Ran and Sonoko were behind Sera. "Leave the guy alone." Sonoko said, still clinging to Ran, trying to act brave.
"E-e y-you r-really d-d-d-don't h-have to." stuttered the docile teen said
"None of your business." Sera shouted making Ran and Sonoko sweat dropped. Sera looked at Ran for a second then looked at the big guy. "Do you want to fight?" Sera invited smilingly. In a blink of an eye the big guy was laying helplessly on the floor, while sera giving her trademark smirk flashing her canine.
"Sugooiii Sera-san!" Sonoko said. Ran rushed to the guy checking if he was alive "Can you be careful Sera-chan?" Ran looked at the other side "Oh! Are you ok?" Ran question.
"Y-yes." He bowed.
"What's your name?" Sera questioned as he looked at her, his eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened.
"Oi! What's your name?" Sonoko said losing her temper.
"Hey both of you easy on him." Ran rose her arms to her chin level trying to calm them, then she looked at him, repeating her friends statement sweetly. "What's your name?" He bows again wanting to leave.
"Hiro-san!" A raven-haired girl screamed.
Ran, Sonoko and Sera looked at her. "Oh, Aya-chan!" Ran said.
"Ran-chan, Sonoko-chan, sera-san It's been a long time since I last saw you guys." Aya said with a surprised yet an excited voice.
"I know right!" Ran said with the same excited tone as hers.
"Ah so you met Hiro-san." Aya said.
"Yes was ready to get his ass beaten by this huge guy if Sera-san didn't intervene." Sonoko explained. Aya lets a gasp and bows "Gomen! I troubled you with him." Sera and Ran glared at Sonoko then Ran it her hand over Aya's shoulder telling her it didn't bother them.
Aya then moved towards Hiro "Then let me introduce him properly to you. This is Hiro-san. He is a transfer student, he is the son of my dad's friend... and well he stutters; that's why he is quit timed." Then she looked at him and changed her tune to a scolding one "Didn't I didn't tell you to wait for me?!"
"S sorry." Hiro said in a low voice.
"He didn't bother us right guys?" Ran said looking at Sonoko and Sera. Sera flashed a grin and said "In fact, I enjoyed it."
All of them gave her the look. "I've heard that you have been absent for two days, were you sick?" Sonoko asked changing the subject.
"Ah no, my father came back from America with his friend and son, Hiro. You know I barely see him, if I was lucky I'd see him twice a month; so I decided two days off to see him." Aya said
"Do you have plans for today?" Ran asked
"Mmm, well… since exams we are going to start mid-exams soon I was planning on studying today… but I'm sure that I'm going to waste my day so what's up for today?" Aya questioned cheerfully.
"Well... it's been a long time since we last hanged out together, so I was thinking if you can come with us, you too Hiro-san, I bet you are having a hard time finding friends neh? " Ran said giving him her sweet smile. Hiro nodded wordlessly, "Ok, but where are we going?" Aya questioned
"Next week will be full of endless hard exams, so we decided to go to the Karaoke to chill." Sonoko injected
"But the syllabus isn't as hard as you say Sonoko-san." Sera said, Ran nod which made Sonoko get irritated. "They are! You're smart and Ran's husband is helping her while I'm suffering alone!" Sonoko dramatically said.
Ran blushed intensely at the mention of Shinihchi. "Hey Sonoko stop calling him that! Everyone knows that he isn't my husband." Ran defended.
"Ran everyone knows that he is your husband." Sonoko teased again, but it didn't last long because sera ended her teasing. "Now, now let's not waste more time, you can tease her sometime later." Sera said smilingly.
The five of them headed to the karaoke bar then went to the reception to take the keys. "Here is the key, Room 5 to the left." the worker informed the teens. They bowed and headed to the room. Sonoko, Sera and Aya were ahead while Hiro and Ran were walking behind. Ran was texting Conan telling him that she might come late tonight. Hiro looked at her the asked. "H-h-husband?" Hiro teased
Ran blushed slightly and shook her hands up and down. "N-n-no, never mind what Sonoko said, that's Conan-kun, he is like my little brother, he is currently living with us until his parents come back from the United States." Ran said
"Oh…" He mumbled.
"Ran! What's wrong with you today? Can you move faster!" Sonoko said lazily.
"Coming." Ran said, she looked at Hiro smilingly "Let's go." Ran and Hiro walked faster to catch up with them. They all took a seat while sera headed to the microphone and the screen to choose her song, the atmosphere was friendly, Ran and Sonoko were chattering with Aya while Hiro's eyes were fixed on sera.
Sera choose her song and started singing while the teens were cheering and dancing with her, after finishing her song she gave the microphone to Aya and sat next to Sonoko, Sonoko placed her arm around her shoulder and whispered. "I caught Hiro-san staring at you with long intense ones." Two small pink lines formed on Sera's cheeks. "It's your imagination Sonoko-san. Mu, you really love to gossip." Sera defensively said.
"Hehehe, I wonder." Sonoko said, still grinning. Then Ran was next, after finishing her song she walked towards Hiro who was checking his phone and said "Hiro-san are you having fun?" Ran questioned, Hiro nodded and smiled. Ran extended the microphone to him. "Sing for us the-." then Sonoko jerked from her place and grabbed Ran shoulder and whispered "Ran, he stutters! He can't sing."
"He can sing without stuttering." Aya said "I was surprised when I heard him sing too! In fact, he has a really nice voice." Aya added.
Sonoko looked at Hiro "I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." Hiro shook his head and took the microphone from Ran's hand, walked to the screen chose his song and started singing. When he opened his mouth everything in him changed. His aura became totally different, a more confident side of him showed up when he sang, everyone's jaw dropped. He placed the microphone back to its place then looked at the girls who were still mesmerized by his voice, he let a quick smirk escape from his mouth and moved back to his place.
It was eight o'clock when Aya and Sonoko bid a goodbye leaving Ran, Sera and Hiro. Ran looked at Sera and asked "Isn't your hotel in the opposite side?"
"I moved to a hotel near your house. We are neighbours now." Sera explained happily
"Sokaa." Ran smiled
"Oh Hiro-sa-" Sera looked around. "Eh, where did he go?"
"He was just here..." Ran said in a low voice.
'Weird.' Sera thought. "Anyway, lets head home, it's getting late now." Sera suggested, Ran nodded and walked beside Sera.
Hiro walked calmly alone in the dark, he saw a black Porsche model 356A waiting for him so he opened the passenger door and rode the car. He rested his hand on the cars armrest and supported his heads weight on his palm.
"When does the mission start?" Gin questioned coolly
"Twelve." So called Hiro said, Vermouth was sitting behind to Hiro, she let a laugh escape from her lips, Hiro closed his eyes to contain his irritation from Vermouth's presence. "What are you laughing at?" Hiro said trying to keep his voice calm
"Iie, just as expected from..."
