Disclaimer: There are no lemons for this fan fic. At least not for Ren and Takashi, maybe when their relationship develops further but not yet. And someone said that Takashi is too perfect so I've remedied that problem, but he does have special skills. Keep reading if you want to find out.

Another quick thing. The mistreatment of women appals and sickens me. Such as women being sold into prostitution to pay off family debts, being used as playthings for other people's amusement, women being used as hostages, assaulted, raped, stalked, murdered and underage girls being sold off to men for money. Any man who sexually assaults a woman should be castrated as death is just giving them a quick way out, it's better to have them live the rest of their lives knowing they can never have sex again.

But that's just my opinion.

Ren's Romance. Chapter 2.

"Speech"

'Thought'

"Phones, etc."

Previously.

"You two sure look comfortable," Kaname said teasingly from the open door looking quite flushed, dragging and equally flushed Sousuke.

"And you two look like you just finished a major make out session," Takashi smirked earning a blush from Kaname.

"That's affirmative," Sousuke said receiving a whack from Kaname's halisen.

"Just because you're my boyfriend now doesn't mean you can just go blabbing top secret information about us to everyone who asks!" Kaname shouted whacking him six more times. "However, Ren and Takashi are a special case,"

"Everything you need to know is in the book I gave you Sousuke," Takashi explained, kissing Ren on the forehead.

"Understood," Sousuke replied.

And now the Continuation.

"I know this might not sound like something I would suggest, but I don't want to wait for school to end. Let's go to your parent's restaurant now," Ren advocated holding Takashi's hand as the group made their way back to the student council room.

"Ren if I didn't know any better I'd say I'm starting to rub off on you," Takashi chuckled giving her butt a playful pinch.

"Eek," she squealed leaping away from him.

"My, my, I don't think I've ever heard that sound coming from Ren's mouth," Hayashimizu said approaching the small group. "I've come to inform you Ren that your transfer request has been granted starting tomorrow you'll be a member of class 2-4,"

"Thank you very much president Hayashimizu and could I possibly ask one final favour for today?" Ren asked assuming her most polite attitude.

"If you're asking me to sign the four of you out there's no need. While in the teacher's office I was informed that all second and third year students with free periods will be allowed outside of the school grounds. Those will free periods at the end of the day can sign out early if they wish to. I can merely state that I saw the four of you leaving to the next teacher I come across," Hayashimizu replied pushing his glasses up with his fan. "There will also be a print out to be given to your parents tomorrow explaining this new rule,"

"Thanks for your help president Hayashimizu," Takashi added taking Ren's hand again.

"Just make sure you treat her with respect," Hayashimizu said continuing on his way.

"Sure thing," Takashi replied leading the way to the shoe lockers. "Oh damn I just remembered, you don't have a motorcycle do you Sousuke?"

"Why yes, I recently acquired the motorcycle because I read that school girls enjoy riding on the back of a bike with their arms wrapped around their boyfriend's waist," Sousuke answered looking very pleased with himself. "When Kaname and I were riding to school today with her arms around me I noticed it was quite an enjoyable experience. I only bought a motorcycle so I could spend time riding with Kaname,"

"You bought a bike to spent time with me? This is the second time you've actually shown that you've have any interest in me since you showed up at this school," Kaname sobbed throwing her arms around Sousuke's neck.

"I did it because I love you Kaname," Sousuke said lifting her chin up to plant a soft kiss on her lips.

'Oh Sousuke, where have you been all my life?' Kaname wondered slowly losing herself in the warm feeling buzzing around her head.

"Oh Kami what have I done," Takashi chuckled earning a giggle from Ren.

"You guys ever eaten here before?" Takashi asked opening the door to the Global Diner.

"Takashi! What are you doing out of school young man?" asked a slim urban haired woman wearing a chefs uniform. All eyes in the diner had turned to Takashi to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. "You'd better not be making a habit out of this or I'll personally suspend your licence. Now start explaining,"

"Mother please, second and third years students can leave school early if they have a free fifth period," Takashi explained slightly embarrassed. "You make it really hard to introduce my new friends when you're ripping my head off,"

"Are you giving me lip Takashi?" his mother fumed whacking over the head with a clean soup ladle.

"Geez Mother, can I at least introduce you to my girlfriend before you start hitting me with cookware?" Takashi asked rubbing his head.

"I don't want to hear…, did you say girlfriend?" she asked switching from furious to placid as the word 'girlfriend' finally registered in her brain. "My son actually has a girlfriend?"

"Yes Mother, I have a girlfriend and thank you for embarrassing me by the way," Takashi replied as his mother directed them to an empty cubicle.

"I apologise for my earlier behaviour. Please wait here while I get us some refreshments," his mother said cheerfully as she headed back to the kitchen.

"I swear that woman's excessiveness with be the death of me," Takashi groan plunking down in the seat next to Ren.

"Don't you mean your mother's excessiveness?" Kaname asked leaning against Sousuke.

"That's the thing, Mr. and Mrs. Nakahara aren't my real parents. I'm adopted," Takashi replied sombrely. "I have no idea who my real parents were just that I was really young when the Nakahara's took me in as their son,"

"That's so sad," Ren whispered placing her hand over his.

"I guess that means you and I have more in common than I originally thought," Sousuke said wrapping his arm around Kaname. "I never knew my parents as I was brought up in a war zone from the day I was old enough to carry a gun,"

"Hey there girls, what are you pretty things doing here all alone huh? Why don't you come with us and we'll show you a real time?"

Turning in the direction of the disturbance the two couples noticed four delinquent looking teenage boys from another school crowding over two younger teens at one of the aisle tables, who didn't like to looks the boys were giving them. Out of the corner of his eye Takashi saw Kaname giving Sousuke a quick look as the delinquents continued to hassle the girls who kept asking them to leave them alone. When one of the girls was grabbed roughly by her arm Takashi got up from his seat before his mother came out of the kitchen.

"Excuse me but I think it's time for the four of you to leave," Takashi said, this easily got the knuckleheads attention.

"And just who do you think you are you little punk," one of the delinquents growled, making Sousuke tense up ready for immediate action.

"My mother owns the place, now let the girl go and leave before she has to call security," Takashi answered, not backing down as two of them advanced on him.

"You're not going to cry for mommy and daddy to come help you? But sure we'll leave if you give us those two cuties" the first said.

"Yeah the little one looks like she'll give us some enjoyment," the second chuckled leering openly at Ren as he approached their table. "I'll bet she tastes good too,"

"You're right about that, but scum like you will never know," Takashi replied, grabbing the guy's arm and twisting it behind his back.

"Let me go you little shit!" his friend in an attempt to help ended up having his face introduced to a shoe sending him crumbling to the floor in pain, clutching his bleeding nose.

"Ok Takashi you can let him go now, security's on its way to escort them out of the building," Takashi's mother said, appearing out of the kitchen with trays of finger food and drinks in each hand.

"Sorry kids but I can't play with you anymore," Takashi sighed, feigning disappointment as he released the delinquent's arm. "Also, the four of you aren't welcome here no more. So find a new place to eat,"

"You'll pay for this you little shithead!" the third delinquent roared, helping his injured buddy out the door where security was waiting.

"Takashi, do you always have to make a scene with rowdy delinquents?" his mother asked, setting the food and drinks down at their table. "But I suppose nothing I say will make you stop the hero act,"

"If you remember mother, it was the hero act that got me and Ren together. And besides I can't stand men forcing themselves on women," Takashi replied, plonking down beside Ren again. "Hope I didn't scare you too much Ren,"

"Not at all. I thought you were very brave defending those girls," Ren answered wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm just glad you weren't hurt,"

"Should I be expecting grand kids anytime soon?" his mother asked hopefully.

"Now you see what I have to put up with," Takashi groaned, dropping his head against her shoulder.

This gave Ren the perfect chance to press herself closer to him, enjoying how he felt in her arms and his unique scent, she felt herself wanting to feel his skin under her finger tips but held back the urge to unbutton his uniform.

"Ren," Takashi whispered. "Take a look at Sousuke and Kaname,"

Opening her eyes Ren found it hard to suppress a chuckle at the scene across the table, Sousuke had one arm wrapped around Kaname's waist while they were feeding each other snacks. Kaname was ecstatic as Sousuke had started to behave like a normal teenager with his girlfriend since reading the dating book, sure he still carried his weapons but this was better than nothing.

"Oh great I've created lovebirds," Takashi groaned dramatically, sending Ren into yet another giggle fit with the occasional snort. "Don't you two have to plan a date tonight?"

"It's not a problem. Mrs. Nakahara, would it be possible to make reservation for two tonight?" Sousuke asked, surprising Kaname.

"I'm afraid we don't make reservations here, but there's a restaurant above us that would be great for a first date. And I happen to know the guy who runs it, just let me make a call and I'm sure he'll make a reservation for the two of you," Takashi's mother replied, turning back to her son for a moment. "What about you and Miss Ren, Takashi? Got anything planned for tonight?"

"My father won't let me go out with boys he's never met so I have to introduce them or he'll have his men keep an eye on me 24/7. But thank you anyway," Ren answered, as a panicked look appeared on Takashi's face.

"Wonderful, this is the punishment I get for introducing you to my mother, it's not fair I tell you," Takashi whimpered feigning despair, yet succeeding in making Ren endure another fit of giggling. 'It's just too easy to make her laugh,"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So how was your date with Sousuke?" Ren asked, wandering the schoolyard with Kaname.

"It wasn't what I expected, I expected Sousuke to threaten the waiters to get us service but he actually behaved himself, he even dressed in nice clothes and held out my chair for me," Kaname sighed, remembering for special she felt. "So what about you? Did you take Takashi to see your dad?"

"Well I no choice since he had to take me home, but father seemed to like Takashi so we're allowed to say out at night as long as he behaves himself. But I wouldn't mind if he didn't," Ren replied, a faint blush adorning her cheeks as she chuckled at her dirty thoughts. "Father actually said there was something about Takashi that he found odd, but he said as long as I was happy with him then we can be together,"

"Did he tell you what he found odd about Takashi?" Kaname asked only to be interrupted by a ruckus at the main gate.

A group of six teens from another school had entered the grounds and were shouting for someone to show their face. Coming out of the shoe lockers Kaname and Ren saw four of the teens were the same group who harassed a pair of younger girls at the Nakahara diner yesterday, wielding all sorts of weapons from wooden swords to brass knuckles, lengths of chain and large knives. Which meant they were most likely after revenge on Takashi for what he did to one of them.

"Well lookie what we have here, it's those two girls from yesterday," the first said, grabbing Kaname by the wrist. "Maybe we'll take you girls hostage, that'll get that bastard's attention!"

"Hey let go of me!" Kaname shouted, struggling against his grip. "I said let go!"

"Man I hate noisy bitches," the second said, who slapped Ren hard across the face when she too struggled.

Looking around Ren saw the other students keeping their distance, some chuckling at how they knew something like this would happen, others looking on in fear of what was going to happen to herself and Kaname. Yet no one tried to aid them, all Ren could do was hold her stinging cheek as she and Kaname were dragged towards the school gate where six motorcycles sat. Fear spread throughout her body at whatever these brutes were panning wherever they were taking them.

"You're all going to be in so much trouble if you don't let us go right now!" Kaname continued shouting, even as another teen raised his wooden sword over his head. "Sousuke, where the heck are you?"

"Your boyfriend can't save you now bitch!" the teen roared, bringing his sword down hard.

"Incoming!"

As fast as the warning had come, a speeding blur flew between Kaname and her attacker severing his sword in half, a slipt second later the teen was sent flying through the air then landed unconscious on the ground as his head snapped back from the impact from a foot extended high above its owner's head. (A/N: think about the school yard fight scene in Midori Days.) The Jindai High uniform and silver hair immediately identified Kaname and Ren's saviour as none other than Takashi, his right hand extending to catch the blur revealing it to be a rather large four bladed shuriken.

"Sorry I took so long Ren, you aren't hurt badly are you?" Takashi asked, flipping the shuriken's blades closed with a flick of his wrist.

"No, I'm just glad you're here," Ren answered, still holding her cheek. "But I think you have some explaining to do,"

"Yeah, but it'll have to wait until I've gotten rid of these cockroaches," Takashi replied, putting his shuriken away.

"So you finally show your face. The name's Zabuza Takada and I've got a bone to pick with you. See I don't like it when some shit faced punk humiliates my boys, so here's how we're going to play this. If you don't strip down naked right now and take our beating, the 5 of us will take those two girls back to our place and have some fun with them," Takada said, wielding another wooden sword that rested against his shoulder.

(A/N: Just a warning that I can't write fight scenes for shit.)

"It hardly seems fair though, five against one. I won't even get a proper workout," Takashi casually replied, taking a blue bandana with a leaf symbol engraved on a metal plate on the front and tying it around his forehead. "But you know it's not wise to underestimate a ninja,"

Disclaimer: And here we have the end of the second chapter, I guess I shouldn't have ended it with a cliff hanger but that's my choice. I guess you've figured out what series I've used as a crossover as there were so many others to choose from so I decided to give Takashi ninja skills. Since I don't know many ninjutsu techniques I would like some suggestions as to what he could do and who his real father is. But most importantly leave a review and I'll be back with chapter three.
