AN: So I came to the conclusion that everyone who's written a Rein has explored thoroughly enough the matters of our REAL world. I decided I would dive into something else, perhaps cliche, but I haven't heard of any vampire stories with this. At first I was skeptical of my idea. But then I began writing it, and I thought, "Hey, this is going to be fun. I wonder how it'll turn out?" So that's how it's going to be.

Let me lay this story down a little for you: Ran has a slight run-in with Aya. At first it was fine, but at the mention of another guy Ran runs into her whole 'justice' mode, and gives her friend a slight lecture. This causes a slight rift between them, and causes a change of heart in Aya who now has to choose either to leave her boyfriend that she's very suspicious off, or leave the new crush she's just now getting to know. Meanwhile, Ran has a run in with a girl at a nightclub who's involved in some bad stuff. Upon further investigation, Ran puts her nose where it doesn't belong... and gets herself tangled up with the "denizens of the night."

Not something she wanted to know about, either.

So!! Before you read, keep in mind that this is a test-run for the first chapter. I'm not sure if I'm going to edit it or not, it depends on how I feel when I finish the story, and then go into the editing phase. But some ideas, suggestions, and criticism would do GREAT. I want to make a Rein in a different type of world. T.T And don't tell me it's not plausible, because it totally is. Platform boots don't boomerang and knock out their targets in one hit!!

Anyways. Please read on, and let me know what you think it starts off super light. So perhaps I should have included something else into the first chapter.. oh well! I'll figure it out later.

"GOTCHA!"

Water splashed all over the place, and Ran Kotobuki was covered in it. It didn't matter though, she now held the frog above her head triumphantly.

"One down, ten more to go!"

"Kotobuki"

Ran turned her head to look at Rei who was now crouched down a few feet from her. He was giving her the eye, scrutinizing her ridiculous behavior.

"Otohata!!" she chimed, it was always a joy to see her iceman come to visit her.

"What the hell are you doing?" His glare remained. She's so weird sometimes. I take that back – all the time.

Ignoring his question, she threw the frog away and hopped over to Rei and crouched down in front of him. Ran began her waterworks chanting, "Otohata, Otohata, I need help!"

Rei scowled, "I don't want to help you. I have better things to do."

With that, he got up and started to walk away from her.

Ran, now angry, chased after him yelling like a mad-woman. When her shouts reached his ears he looked back nervously, shit. He didn't have time to escape. Ran was on his back pounding on his head like a child in seconds.

"Feed me Otohata!"

"Feed yourself."

Waterworks.

Rei sighed, he was weak when it came to people crying, "Fine. You're a pain, you know that?"

Ran chomped down on his ear violently, "And you're a jackass!"

His eye twitched, "I'm buying you lunch. Get off my back."

"No."

Rei rolled his eyes at Ran's immaturity. He didn't mind it all too much, though. At least someone went against him instead of falling to his every whim, it was a nice break from the special treatment.

- - -

Rei watched Ran across the table stuff random foods into her face.

"You sure are pretty high maintenance. I feel sorry for your next boyfriend", Rei mused.

Ran glared at Rei from across the table, "mmf uf mmhhhgh uhhhn afffoh fuffm mweh wuu khh bhh uh mrrrh"

Rei shut his eyes and spoke contemptibly, "Chew your food before you speak. You're disgusting."

Ran swallowed, but the food got stuck in her throat. At first her eyes started to water, and then she got the bright idea that she should drink something. The nearest liquid was right in front of her.. and it belonged to Rei. Just a moment's time allowed her to snatch it and completely down the drink before he could liberate it.

"Ahh! That was refreshing," Ran had completely forgot about her jumbled retort to his remark about her next boyfriend.

Rei just stared at her, "Why do you always steal things that I order?"

Ran smiled her big smile, "That's a good question Otohata."

Instantaneously she began gorging on her food again.

Rei stirred his ice, gazing at her disinterestedly. She's so revolting. I hate her. If there's any kogal that should quit, it's her. She's selfish, stubborn, annoying... I love her eyes... his head jerked up in surprise at himself, the hell? I couldn't have thought that... It was someone else talking. My words got twisted, he concluded, ending the internal fight with himself.

Ran raised her eyebrow at Rei, "What are you thinking about?" she asked quizzically. It wasn't like him to just stare at her, but have an empty look on his face. He always had an empty look on his face, but he didn't stare at her. Maybe she had something on her face...

"Just about how much I hate you."

"Oh you're cold Otohata!"

"Never said I wasn't."

"Whatev. You can keep your attitude," she sucked on her straw noisily, grumpy at how forward and rude he was.

"I'm leaving," Rei stood up, and turned around to look at a shocked Yuya.

"Y-Y-You! You were just having a date with Ran weren't you?!," he cried speculatively at his best friend.

Rei scoffed, "As if."

Yuya gave a sigh of relief. Rei was good-looking, and any girl would go for him. Thank goodness that he didn't like Ran.

"Hey number two!" Ran sang, and he knew she was going to expect him to do, or get, something for her.

"Ran-channn " Yuya sang back.

Ran slurped up a noodle that looked much like a dried worm. She went cross-eyed as she watched it bounce around in the air before slapping her nose and retreating into the depths of her stomach. Her tongue miraculously licked the juice off her nose before she started talking again.

"Wanna go catch frogs with me?"

A giant question mark appeared over Yuya's head,

"Frogs? For what?"

Ran waved her hand and spoke casually, "Oh you know, you know, the whole money-making business. So you're in? Great!"

Chance!! She'll be amazed at my wonderful frog catching skills, and fall in love with me.

"Oh, Yuuya-pyon!" Ran scampered up to the blonde

"You caught soooo many frogs. As a reward..." Ran winked and kissed him.

Then... then, this- and that-

Yuya's nose began to spurt blood from his fantasies. Rei rolled his eyes,

"Get a hold of yourself."

Yuya grabbed his nose and pinched it,

"But you don't understand how cute she is!"

Rei scowled and walked out of the food place, I understand well enough.

- - -

Ran and Yuya had been catching frogs for a while. And just as Yuya had imagined it, he caught plenty of frogs.

"Wow Yuya! With all these frogs I can finally get my prize." Ran slithered up to the blonde and began cuddling with the bucket of frogs.

"R-Ran-chan? What were all the frogs for?" Yuya inquired.

Ran stood up with a smile and pounded her fist on her chest, "For money, of course!!" She stared at a random person, glowing, "Atleast I think it's money... Truth is. I don't know what it is. But it's a prize."

Yuya's face fell into his hand, he shouldn't have been so surprised.

Ran smiled and snatched the bucket, as well as Yuya's hand. "C'mon Yuyaaaa!!"

- - -

Old Lady Cherry smiled happily at Ran, "ohhhh! Ohhh ohhh, Ran you are a little Angel."

Yuya agreed spontaneously, "She is isn't she?!"

Ran sat down at the table across from Old Lady Cherry, "I'm so glad I could be of service..." Ran's typical smile sprouted onto her face, "So, about that prize..."

"Ah yes! I will go get it." Cherry walked to the back room and began rummaging through it.

Ran tapped her nails on the table impatiently. She was holding her head up with her arm while it rested on the table. It was boring waiting for people, let alone waiting for a prize which she was eager to find out about.

"So Yuya... how's Mami-rin?" Ran yawned.

Yuya looked at Ran despairingly, Why does she ask about Mami-rin? I just want to talk about me and you Ran, me and you!

"She's... well," Yuya scratched the back of his head nervously.

"It's rare that she'd let you off for one day, you know. I thought," Ran peered at Yuya darkly, "that you two had gotten into a fight."

He nodded. Maybe she never would have feelings for him. It was inevitable. Ran would never notice how he feels. The only one she notices is Tatsukichi, and she even treats him like he's not a boyfriend. It was a mystery why she avoided romance with them, when she easily pursued it with Tsukasa.

"Hey Ran..."

She looked up curiously, "Hm?"

"You're so dense."

- - -

Ran walked through Shibuya waving the tickets in front of her face. Tickets to some rock concert? ... I'll ask everyone then! It'd be so boring if I went by myself.

She was disappointed that it wasn't money, but she didn't want to complain. She had accepted the job without knowing what the real payment was. Besides, it gave her and Yuya some down time. For once she and he had the chance to talk... to really talk. That is... until Mami-rin called him and demanded that he be in her presence at once. Then their conversation just kind of died.

Ran sighed, she knew absolutely nothing about a "rock concert" - As Cherry had put it. Maybe Otoha- This musing granted a scold from Ran and a shake of her head, What the hell, why would I take that sore loser with me?

Now angry with herself, she stomped down the roads in Shibuya, ignoring all the strange stares she got. Her rage stopped when she heard Aya call out her name. Ran smiled and waved happily with her free hand,

"Aya! Are you free two weeks from now? Saturday?" She asked with glee. Aya was so precious to her, and maybe she could get Aya out of the slumps about her boyfriend being cold-hearted.

Aya smiled warily, "I-I have something to do that day... "

Ran scoffed, "Oh alright..."

"What's going on?"

Ran shrugged, "I got a few tickets to some silly rock-concert... and I'm really curious about them. I'm always going dancing with Tatsuki. This would be something new."

Aya's index finger popped up next to her head, "Why don't you bring Otohata-kun? He's familiar with all kinds of music. I'm sure he'd go wi-"

"No way in HELL would I go with a cold-fish like that. Talk about ruining my night," she grumbled, glaring at nothing in particular. He just pisses her off.

Aya looked down at the ground nervously. Ran's eyes were drawn to Aya's face, and she sighed in aggravation.

"All rightttt. I'll go ask him. But when he refuses, I'm going to punch him in the face. And if he ruins my night. You owe me Aya," she concluded.

Ran pulled out her phone, she wasn't about to go and look around for Rei, that'd take too much energy on her part. Besides, she wanted to go eat. Ran dialed Rei's number. As she heard the rings on her phone, she started to sweat and felt a little bit light headed. Why am I getting anxious all of a sudden?

"What do you want Kotobuki?"

Ran spoke enthusiastically despite being nervous, "Come with me two Saturday's from now! I got tickets to this rock concer-"

"No. I work."

"Oh pleaaaase, please please please," Ran began begging and even started to cry pitifully. It was the simplest way to get Rei to give in to her.

She heard silence on the other end of the phone, and she knew he was annoyed.

"So you'll go? That's great! I'll see you then Ototchi," she exclaimed without letting him answer, assuming that silence meant a yes. Before he could respond she hung up the phone.

Aya smiled at her best friend, I guess here goes nothing.

"Ran... I... I met a guy."

Ran's eyes lit up, and her ear enlarged as she hopped closer to Aya.

"Oh?"

"I-I think I might like him," her face was a darker shade of pink

"What about Otohata? I thought you had a thing for him," she raised her eyebrows quizzically.

"I do... I just..."

Ran glared, "Listen Aya, you can't two-time like that. Don't fool around with either of their feelings. Rei obviously likes you, why would you do that to him?"

Aya just stared at Ran, disbelief clouding her eyes and then falling down like snowflakes in the form of tears.

"Oh... Aya..." Ran cooed. Her tone became frantic as she watched Aya run away, "A-Aya!" she called, but the dark-haired beauty just kept running until she melded in with the crowd, leaving a stunned Ran in the middle of the street shocked and alone.

R&R ;3 Like I said, test round! But please criticism, etc etc. Maybe I should have a beta or something T.T Because I know there's something off with the first chapter... just haven't been able to place it yet.
