Rae
Chaper 2: He Likes You
"Keiichiro, I'm worried," Ryou sighed as he sat back in his chair.
"Why is that?" Keiichiro replied in his ever so polite tone.
"Kishu has come back. And he's suddenly taken the same interest in Rae that he had with Ichigo. But Rae doesn't seem to mind! She's just relaxed about it! Like it's no big deal!"
"You're taking it too seriously, Ryou. Why do you care so much about Rae? Why are you so worried?"
"She's too laid back! She doesn't understand how much danger she could be getting herself into!"
"Maybe she does understand. Maybe she is thinking about the consequences and she's taking the risk! She's a daredevil, Ryou. She lives for the excitement," Keiichiro explained. "Is it maybe that you're not worried for her because she's reckless? Maybe it's because you like her?"
"They've only just been infused! We don't know anything about them!"
"Which is why she's so intriguing. She's a mystery waiting to be solved."
"A mystery?" Ryou repeated.
"Yes, Ryou. A mystery."

"So, really, do you like him?" Ichigo asked as she plopped down in the floor.
"Well, I dunno. He's interesting, I'll give him that. But I don't know how I feel," Rae replied from her spot on the bed. She cocked her head. "I do get the strange feeling that Ryou is mad at me, though. It's like he doesn't want me to like Kishu. I know he was the enemy, but he's not now. So why does Ryou care?"
"Maybe he likes you!" Mint suggested.
"I doubt that!" Zakuro scoffed.
"It's possible, though!" Pudding exclaimed. "Look at it this way: Rae gets kissed by Kishu, she kisses him back. Ryou finds out and he gets mad. But there's no threat left from Kishu, so why should Ryou care? The answer is staring us in the face!"
"He likes her!" Lettuce gasped.
"But he's only just met her!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Which is why he likes her!" Lisa said. "She's mysterious, and new. Something to explore. But he feels threatened because Kishu came and started to explore before he could."
"You sure about that?" Pudding asked.
"Boys have very simple minds, no matter what kind of genius they are. That's exactly what it is," Lisa replied.
"Wow! I didn't know you knew that!" Yuki exclaimed.
"How could you not know it?" Rae asked.
"Um…"
The girls all laughed. Sure they were all different ages and they were all super heroines, but they were entitled to have some fun. They were still girls. And what do girls do on the weekend to have fun? Sleepovers! Well, those girls did anyway. And since Rae's parents had sent her to Japan from Germany, she was on her own with a huge bed, a huge entertainment system, a ton of movies, and a ton of time to burn!
"So, should we watch a romantic chick flick, nail-biting mystery, or a bone chilling thriller?" Rae asked.
"Thriller!" most of the girls yelled.
"Perfect!" Rae grinned and reached out for the perfect thriller.
OMG!!! One review! I'm so happy!! And this chapter is to my one wonderful reviewer!!! Thank you!!!!! And yeah, I can't stand when people don't put Kishu with anyone. It makes me sad! So...yeah...Pudding Rocks!!!!!
