"No. Way. Really?" Rangiku asked over the phone. I laughed.

"You sound shocked."

"No! I mean, you're really pretty, but I never thought a girl with a boyfriend would agree to go on a date."

"It's not a date, Rangiku!" I protested. "It's a...gathering of friends."

"How many friends?"

"Just us..."

"I knew he liked you!" she said with a squeal. I heard her mother call her. "Oh! Gotta go. Enjoy your date!" I hear the mock in her voice.

"Whatever. Chat you later Ran." I hung up. It's not a date...or is it? Shut up voices! Nah. You're annoying. And you're an idiot. YOU'RE AN IDIOT! So you agree with me? I groaned. I never win with arguments against myself. I took a shower, got dressed and brushed my hair, waiting for Ren. Soon, my mother called me from downstairs.

"Sweetie! Your friend is here!"

"Coming mom!" I exited my room and took a deep breath. It's not a date...just two friends going to see a movie. This does not count as cheating of Shuhei. I love Shuhei. I would never do that. Ren smiled at me as I walked downstairs.

"Hey Kimiko!" he said enthusiastically. "Ready to go?" I nodded.

"Yeah, lets go." I looked back at my mother. "See you later mom!"

*After the Movie*

"Okay, call me a chicken, but that movie was freakin' scary." I shivered. Ren laughed and put his arm around my shoulders. I tensed up.

"You're funny. And even if zombies did exist, you shouldn't worry. I'd protect you." he squeezed my shoulder and laughed again. This...felt so wrong. I pulled away from his grip.

"Uh...Ren..."

"Something wrong?" he asked, a bit hurt.

"You know this isn't a date right?" He cocked his head to the side, his smile fading away.

"What? Then...what is it?" see what you did? You made him feel bad. Good going moron. Shit...I didn't want that to happen.

"U-um...nevermind. Walk me home?" his smile returned. God he has a gorgeous smile...will you shut it?

"You're really cute, Kimiko." I blushed and laughed nervously.

"Heh heh, you think so?" he nodded.

"One of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen."

"N-No I'm not..." I said, turning even more red. He laughed. We arrived at my house, the car was gone and the lights were off. "Looks like my parents aren't home...wanna come in?" Ren grinned.

"Sure." we entered our house and walked into the kitchen. Cookies were on the counter, with a sign that said:

For you my Kimi!~
Mom.

I smiled. Yay! Cookies! Finally, something we don't argue about. I took one and popped it into my mouth.

"Want one?" I asked after swallowing. He shrugged.

"Alright." he ate one, and I saw his face light up.

"My mom's an amazing cook, huh?" I ask with a smug expression.

"These are the best homemade cookies I have ever eaten."

"Right?" we laughed. I was starting to feel more comfortable around Ren. He's a really cool guy, even though I don't know to much about him. Soon, we ate all the cookies. "Aw...oh well." I turned around to wash my hands.

"Kimiko?"

"Hm?" I asked. When he didn't answer, I turned around, and all of a sudden, he attacked my lips with his own. The force of his kiss slammed me into the counter, which I held on to to keep it from breaking my back in two. He held my shoulders tightly, not allowing me to break away. "Mmf!" my protests was muffled against his face.

"WHAT THE HELL? ! ? ! ?"

You know what...I'm tired of reading this story over and over and stopping at that sad little Authors Note I left. STORY'S BACK ON! :D
