Ok so…um... well as you can see this is a new story one which I must finish because…it's already finished, you'll see the truth is that I don't own the plot line. This is a manga that I read and own a copy from transformed into these characters. But well I won't tell you which manga is it until the end. Why? Because it would ruin the plot people you just can't read it before I finish this :P but I do say that is not my plot line okay? Please don't sue me.

Anyways if you know which manga it is then what about you just imagine it with Yama and Tai huh? I must say this manga is one of my very favorites I just can't help but love it …geez so sweet. After reading this I really recommend you to buy it because it's not the same to read it than to see the images. Yay! So cute. It's got great art and … I'm rambling again.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything except maybe the character translations and some modifications XD

Warning: Shonen-ai, Yamachi

This is divided in 4 parts and 10 chapters apart from the prologue and the extra ending bonus (that couldn't be called epilogue), please enjoy

ه That Ring ه

Part 1. The Rings

Prologue. ٭ Paired Rings ٭

He seemed so kind,

he seemed graceful.

A perfect gentleman,

a flawless student.

Not a human being,

but an angel walking through earth.

"Damn him! Damn him to hell!"

'Why am I here again? Oh yeah … Jyou is mad …'

"Why do perfect people like him exist?"- asked Jyou as he took another gulp from his beer can – " More importantly, Why do perfect people like him exists in our school!"

'Why is Jyou mad? Well today at school he asked the class hottie, Mimi Tachikawa, to be his girlfriend. They had been hanging around for a long time now so nobody was really surprised. Indeed what you didn't expect was Mimi's replay.

"I'm sorry Jyou but that would be unfair since I'm in love with Ishida –san"- Yups that was Tachikawa's replay, that she was in love with upperclassman Ishida Yamato'

"Damn! It's all that guy's fault!"- Said Jyou getting drunker by the minute

'I understand how Jyou feels… but I also feel for Ishida, begrudged just for existing… but though you might think he'd have all kinds of grudges against him, strangely enough, there's hardly any who speaks badly of Ishida.

It's the same with me. The Ishida Yamato I see from afar … always wears a gentle smile … and I rater like him.

He doesn't seem like a snob. And the people around him treat him normally … he doesn't have any weird friends either…'

" I had even got paired rings for us to wear!"- I looked back at Jyou stopping in my train of thoughts as he said this.

"You don't mean The Rings do you?"- I asked looking at him in expectation

" Of course I mean that rings! You know they are the rage in our school. Paired rings on the right ring finger: a sign of friendship, ring on the right middle finger: single, and the greatest status of all… to wear matching rings on the left ring finger signifies a couple!" – Jyou was starting to get fired up with his explanation – " Man, I've so got a crush on her"

" Yeah but … aren't you getting ahead of yourself!" – I asked trying to interrupt his rambling about how much he loved Tachikawa

"You're so clueless."- he said waving his finger and tsk-ing – " Everyone's checking out who's wearing what ring on which finger. Even now … there's a rumor going around that you never take off that ring …" – he said pointing at the ring I always wore in my right middle finger - … and that you've still got the hots for your ex-girlfriend"

" Wha…! This got nothing to do with Sora!"- I said startled by the idea " it's not like this … is a match with hers. I just don't get the pair look thing … it's not my style. And I' am wearing it in my right middle finger. Sora did tried to coax me into it though…"

" Well to each his own but… single guys usually have, like, two or three spares. You've only got the one right. I think that's what fuels the rumors"

" Oh well, who cares. I like this ring. And I don't feel like taking it off. It's not like it was expensive or anything but I've had it for a long time and because I like it I've taken good care of it." – I said gazing lovingly at my ring – " It's like a … treasured sweet companion you know?"

"Lucky you.." – said Jyou itching closer with a smug look on his face- " If things had gone according to plan, I would have gotten Mimi … and we would now be gazing lovingly at our paired rings…" – then suddenly he turned a pool of tears again- " if it wasn't for that Yamato Ishidaaaa!"

' Still thinking that?'

" Ok, ok. Let's drink tonight. I'll keep you company"

'Jyou ranted on and on … but I didn't think badly of Yamato Ishida… until then…'

Heh heh. Some sort of cliffhanger. Anyways don't worry chap up will be up fairly soon please review and tell me so far how are you liking my adaptations.

Pd: don't kill me for making Mimi fall in love with Yama and turning Jyou down I may change that sooner or latter.

Pd2: Don't kill me for making Sora Tai's ex… I hate her so she wont appear sorry for those that where expecting her to. XD just kidding, It's just that I wanted top give her another role but… no… she is better as Tai's ex and not appearing at all (just mentioned)
