Chapter 3

Halo and cats!

Ran sighed. Ken kept glaring at him, like he hoped Ran would drop dead or something.

«You have something to say boy?» Ran asked.

«I don't like you!» Ken stated.

«You don't say, haven't heard that one before» Ran snorted.

«How can someone like you have a child?» Ken asked.

«You do know how children are made right? Didn't you parents ever give you the sex-talk?» Ran asked, smirking inside like hell.

Ken grew dark red and left the room quick.


Flashback

The boy were badly burned, Ran felt really bad for him. And furthermore, the boy were crying. He couldn't be much older than Omi.

"What's your name boy?" Ran asked.

"Hidaka... Ken..." the boy answered.

"Very well Hidaka, come here. I want to show you something" Ran said.

He had taken Ken to one of the houses where Kritiker had their training buildings. Behind it was a soccer-field. He had heard Persia mention that the boy had played in the J-league.

"They play every Friday, I thought you may want to sign up. It's just for fun, but I think it might do you some good" Ran said.

The boy just gave him a blank look, but Ran knew he was happy.

"Remember boy. Bad things happen sometimes, but if you just rise up and brush the dust off, there is nothing you can't do. Keep trying and never give up, and you will make it, you will see it!"

"I... I don't understand..." Ken said.

"You feel pretty bad right now, don't you?" Ran asked.

Ken nodded.

"Life is a fight boy, you have to fight for the things you want. Family, happiness, peace, love, these things just don't come by themselves, you got to fight to get it, to keep it, to earn it. And right now, you need to fight to get what you want. Ask yourself, what is the most important thing to you, what is it your soul want more than anything?" Ran asked.

Ken stared down at the grass.

"I want to belong somewhere... a family... happiness..." he finally said.

"Then that is what you must fight for. They will come to you in time, just don't give up on life or yourself. And when you have it, you will be able to see it" Ran smiled.

"See what?" Ken asked.

"The halo" Ran answered.

"Halo? Like the things angels have over their head?" Ken asked.

"Something like that... There are three things you can see when you find what you want to protect, the halo is the last ting. When you find the one thing you want to protect, you see their aura. Then you see their wings, and when you find someone you really love more than anything, someone or something worth dying for, you see their halo. Belong/family, happiness, love, the three things worth fighting for, aura, wings and halo. And that boy is worth everything, worth risking everything for, worth dying for, worth fighting for and living for. Find that, and you have everything you want" Ran said, giving Ken a smile.

End Flashback.


Ken sighed. He remembered Ran well. Ran had been strict, but a good master. In the past, Ran had done small things for him to keep his spirit up. But he was still a prick, the redheaded prick. A damn talented and pretty prick, but still a prick.

Ken had adopted Ran's believes. He had found the aura and wings in Omi and Yohji, he even thought that he saw their halo. He had found the family he had wanted, and the happiness, and he loved Omi and Yohji, they were like his brothers. He didn't like Ran though, Ran kind of disturbed the family and happiness,. Ran was from a part of his life ha wasn't very proud of. He had given Ran a lot of shit, but Ran had saved him through it all. Ran had picked him up and forced him to move on, to stop feeling sorry for himself.


Flashback!

Ken glared at Ran. One day he would bring that redheaded prick to his feet.

"You're too slow boy, try again!" Ran said.

Ken called the redhead a lot of things in his mind, but got up and attacked again. Seconds later he found himself on his ass again.

"Again!" Ran ordered.

"Give me a break" Ken snarled.

Ran only quirked one eyebrow up and stared at him.

"Again, get up!"

Again Ken cursed and called Ran things, this time out loud.

"Look boy, you can curse and swear all you want. That won't help you at all. Now get up, do it again, attack!" Ran said, not at all impressed.

End flashback!

Just for once, Ken wished he could get the redhead.

"And why do you look so pissed?" Yohji asked as he entered the living-room.

"Guess..." Ken said.

"Could it be a certain redhead?" Yohji smirked.


Ken sighed.

"Was he really that bad?" Yohji asked.

"I guess not... it's just... I don't know, he was strict... He always pushed me, pissed me off... But he wasn't that bad I guess. I learned a lot from him, and he once told me... never mind" Ken said.

"Let me guess... Halo?" Yohji smiled.

"He told you about it too?" Ken asked.

"Yes. And he was right, it's a nice and beautiful way to see things, see the world. So... have you found the halo?" Yohji asked.

"I found the aura, I see it in you and Omi, and I see the wings on you both, and I can almost see the halo over you too... You guys are my family, I'm happy here with you, and I love you like you were my brothers" Ken said and smiled.

"Aw, I love you too. Wonder if he ever found his halo... probably in his kid" Yohji said.

"Yeah... the kid. I never met the kid... He really had a son?" Ken asked.

"Sure did" Yohji smiled.


Ran had taken his cat-form, a house-cat, an Abyssinian-cat. Yes, he was spying on the two idiots, he wasn't proud of it. Thank the gods that they never knew about his little cat-secret. Yohji had once, but he hoped he had forgotten.

"Aw... how did you get in here?" a voice said.

"It's a cat" Ken smiled and lifted the red cat.

"You don't say" Yohji snorted.

Ken had always wanted a pet.

"Hey... that's a pure-breed cat, these are expensive cats" Yohji said, having dated a lady who had a cat just like this. The cat had won many prizes and was worth lots of money.

"It is? How did you get here Mr Cat?" Ken said, baby-talk.

"It got a collar, why don't you check?" Yohji said.

Ken took a look on the plate on the collar, and then made a face...

"Figures, it's the red prick's cat. How can someone like him have a cute beautiful cat like you? You are just adorable, yes you are Mr Cat" Ken said, hugging the cat.


Yohji smirked, he was sure he saw the cat giving Ken the evil death-glare. He hadn't forgotten, he could use this against the redhead.

Ran had to put up with hugging and cooing from both Ken and Omi. And Yohji? That bastard just stared at him and grinned even dared to laugh. That idiot knew, he remembered.

"Ok, why don't you guys give the kitty-cat a break. Before his owner comes back and see you playing with his pet" Yohji smirked.

Ken dropped the cat like it was on fire.

"How can that ice-prick have a pet? You don't think he plans on eating it do you?" he said.

"Wouldn't put it past him" Yohji grinned.

Ran growled, the tall blond was so gonna get it, and Ken too... Maybe he should tell Yohji that he was the cat his ex-girlfriend had owned, he sure had a lot of blackmail material on him.
