The next morning Kyo picked Reina up for school. She rarely walked to school nowadays since she became his fiancee, but she enjoyed having his undivided attention in the fifteen minute ride together. Kyo let out a big yawn and moved around until he settled into a comfortable spot, closing his eyes.
"Long night?" Reina asked, watching him stretch his long legs out.
"Hm? Oh, you know the usual. Kito wanted to go out clubbing last night, so we went," he said without opening his eyes.
"Oh, I see," she said, trying to hide her disappointment. 'I guess I'm the only one who really takes this "engagement" seriously. Well, duh! It's all fake. Nothing is real in this relationship.' She stared out the window gloomily.
Kyo glanced over to her when she stopped chattering. "Something wrong?"
"Oh, no. Nothing's wrong," Reina said, looking at him with a fake smile.
They rode the rest of the way in silence, Reina deep in her thoughts and Kyo pretending to sleep with his eyes closed but was really thinking about her. When they got to school Reina waved bye to Kyo as she got out and rushed towards her locker, not waiting for him as she usually did. Kyo frowned at her sudden departure.
'I wonder what's wrong with her,' he thought to himself. Shrugging it off, he headed towards the usual hang out spot.
Reina looked back to see Kyo walk away and sighed. She walked towards her locker feeling depressed that it didn't bother Kyo that she took off without him. She got to her locker and sorted her notes she needed for class. She was so busy rearranging her assignments that she didn't notice the boy leaning against the locker next to hers.
"Ahem."
Reina jumped in surprise as she saw Shin smiling lazily at her.
"O-Oh… you scared me," Reina stammered.
"Yeah, I kinda noticed. Good morning," Shin smirked.
"G-Good morning," Reina replied back, blushing.
"You look cute this morning," he said, tugging pony tail.
"Oh, um, thanks," she said, looking away turning pink. Reina looked around and saw the glances and whispering the other students were giving them.
"Uh, s-so… did you need something?" she said.
"Oh, yeah. I got my class schedule, but I don't know where my classes are. Mind showing me?" Shin asked as he handed her his schedule.
"Sure." She glanced down at the piece of paper. "Oh, it looks like we have some classes together."
"Really? Cool," he grinned. "Looks like we're gonna be partners in most classes."
"Uh, yeah," Reina slowly replied, not sure if that was a good thing. She glanced at her watch as the bell rang. "Well… shall we go?"
"Yeah, lead the way, Rain."
"Rain?"
"Yeah, Rain. Cuz you know your name is Reina, so I just shortened it to Rain," he replied, shrugging. "Hope you don't mind."
She hesitated for a moment before replying. "No, I don't mind. It's… neat."
"Cool," he grinned as he followed her to class.
"Hey Kyo, guess what I heard," Akito said as he flopped down next to Kyo in class.
"What?" he replied not looking away from his magazine.
"There's a new guy hitting on your girl."
"Huh?" he said not really hearing what Akito said.
"New guy hitting on Reina."
That got his attention. "What are you talking about? New guy? What new guy?" he asked, annoyed as he sat up, closing the magazine.
"Well I heard he's the son of one of the most powerful mob boss in Tokyo. Shin Takeda. He got transferred from Jyuken High cuz he started a riot and beat up a teacher. His dad covered it up and paid a hefty sum to keep it on the down low. No one really knows what started it. The teacher that got beat up was just as closed mouth as they were about it."
"So he's just some punk kid that got transferred for fighting? No biggie. Reina wouldn't associate herself with that kind of person," he said confidently, not worried at all. He reopened his magazine and slouched back in a comfortable position.
Akito shook his head. "That's not what I heard."
"What do mean?" he asked, raising one eyebrow in question.
"Well I heard they met up at her locker this morning getting kind of cozy. Then they went to class together."
Kyo frowned as he remembered her weird behavior this morning. 'She was really quiet and she did leave in a rush. Was she meeting with him?' Kyo didn't like the thought of that. 'Reina wouldn't do something like that… right?'
"So?"
"So what?" Kyo snapped out of his thoughts, annoyed.
"What are you gonna do?" Akito questioned.
"About?"
Akito sighed. "About Shin and Reina."
Kyo shook his head. "Nothing. There's nothing going on. I'm not worried about it," he said, trying to push away the uneasy feeling he had.
"Alright, whatever you say man," Akito said, grabbing the magazine out of his hands.
As a week went by, Reina realized that Shin was actually a nice guy under that tough guy exterior. He acted different with the other students, cold, uncaring and aloof. But with her, he was friendly, funny, and an overall interesting person. She glanced over to him from her desk to find him staring out the window. Reina wondered what Shin was looking at. Heat bloomed in her cheeks as he turned at looked at her. She looked back down at her paper when he smiled.
'What am I doing?! He probably thinks I'm weird.'
"Stuck?"
"What?" she turned to see Shin leaning over from his desk. Reina moved back a little, uneasy at his closeness.
Shin's grin spread even wider. "The problem. Are you stuck?"
"Oh! No… I just haven't looked at it properly, that's all," she smiled at him.
"Oh, well let me know if you need help, okay?"
Reina nodded. She was surprised he offered her help. 'I guess he's smart, too.'
She glanced up to find Suzumi, giving her a death glare before looking away. 'What's her problem?'
She looked up at the clock as the bell rang. 'Lunch time,' she thought happily.
Reina gathered her books and headed towards her locker. As she was putting her books away, Suzumi, Kaoru, and Rika came up to her, closing her locker with a bang.
"Just because you had a make over, bitch, don't think you're hotter than the rest of us." Suzumi sneered.
Reina sighed. "What do you want?"
"Oh, think you're all tough now, since you got Kyo's family backing you up? Well, wait until he sees what a little slut you are, already trying to get other guys."
"You know what, Suzumi? You can go to h-"
Shin came up and leaned on the lockers with a smirk on his face. "Ladies. What did I do to deserve the pleasure of your companies today?"
Suzumi and Rika sent him a scathing look, while Kaoru blushed. "Ugh, you may be cute, but Kyo's so much better than you. Come on girls, let's go." Suzumi and the two girls marched away.
"That was fun." Shin smirked. "Jealousy is an ugly thing."
"Shin… what's up?" she asked, surprised and glad at his sudden appearance.
"Oh, I was wondering if you could help me on my English project. I'm kinda stuck," he said sheepishly.
"Oh… well," she said looking down at her bento. She wanted to spend time with Kyo.
"It'll only take a minute, I promise," he pleaded.
"Well… I suppose I can help you real fast," she said, smiling. It was the least she could do. She closed her locker and followed him to the library.
Kyo sat under the tree impatiently. 'Where is she? She's never usually late,' he thought, glancing at his watch. After waiting another ten minutes, Kyo got up to search for her. He walked in her class and glanced around. 'Okay… not here.' He walked down the hall towards her locker.
"Not here either," he muttered to himself, getting annoyed.
"Kyosuke, honey," Sazumi called out. "What are you doing here?"
"Just passing by," he said walking past her trying to get away as fast as he could.
"Oh really?" she said mocking. "I didn't want to tell you this, but you know I always look out for you."
"Tell me what?" He asked, annoyed.
Sazumi stepped close to him and whispered in his ear. "Well, it seems like your fiancee is having a little cozy one on one with the new guy," she smirked.
Kyo glared at her. "I hate girls that lie."
"What? I'm not lying, Kyosuke, honey," she pouted. "I would never lie to you."
"Sazumi, I'm getting really tired of this," he said as he brushed past her.
"It's true! If you don't believe me then go see for yourself! They're in the library right now," she yelled as he walked away.
'There's no way she would do that,' he said to himself. 'Maybe she's just there to help his stupid ass… but what if she really was there to meet up with him?' He shook his head. 'What am I thinking?!'
By the time he got to the library he was hungry, frustrated, and annoyed. He stalked into pass each row in search of her. He rounded the last corner and stopped. He saw them sitting at the table, heads bent close together. He said something to her and they both laughed. Kyo turned and hid behind the tall bookshelf. He could feel his anger coursing through his body. His hands clenched and unclenched at his side. He was so angry he could kill someone right now.
'Ok, they're just talking, no need to get mad... they're just friends... right?' Kyo took a deep breath, releasing it slowly. He pushed the row of books aside, peeking through the shelf at Reina and Shin. He saw Shin casually drape his arm behind her chair. Kyo's body screamed with objection at the sight. 'Calm down, don't jump to conclusions.' Kyo hid his anger before walking towards Reina and Shin.
"Hey, babe. There you are. I was wondering where you were at." Kyo said, tilting Reina's chin up for a kiss. His eyes locked with Shin's, clearly stating ownership of Reina.
"K-Kyo... what are you doing here?" Reina asked, surprised and slightly dazed by his kiss.
"Well, you didn't come out for lunch like you always do, so I came looking for you."
"Oh... I was still helping Shin with his project." Reina replied, indicating at the books spread out on the table.
"I see." Kyo's quirked a brow at Shin in disbelief.
"Oh, sorry. Kyo, this is Shin. Shin, meet Kyo." Reina said hastily, feeling the tension in the air.
"Nice to meet you." Shin said, both men sizing up each other.
"Yeah." Kyo said before turning to Reina. "If you're done, let's go."
"Yeah, we're just about done." She gave Shin a smile. "Okay, so if you have any other questions, let me know."
Shin broke his glare from Kyo, eyes softening when they settled on Reina. "Yeah, I will. Thanks Reina." Shin said softly, giving her a smile.
Kyo glared hard at Shin, not liking the way he was looking at Reina. He grabbed Reina's things in one hand and wrapped the other around her waist possessively, pulling her close to him, as he directed her towards the exit. "Later."
Reina was shocked and confused at Kyo's actions. She felt a blush rise to her cheeks as his hand slid from her hip to cup her butt. She looked up at Kyo with questioningly. He didn't bother to look at her when he sensed her gaze. He was too angry to even speak to her right now. The hand on her butt squeezed slightly when she turned to wave goodbye to Shin, making her jump in surprise, almost letting out a yelp. She blushed even harder when several students stopped to stare at them. They made their way outside to their spot before Kyo let go of her to lay down, with his arms tucked underneath his head, his eyes closed.
"Kyo?" Reina called softly.
Kyo didn't bother opening his eyes. "Yeah?"
"Um, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm great. Just perfect." He said with a hint of sarcasm.
Reina bit her lip, worriedly. 'Why is he mad? Was it because I took too long?'
"Um, Kyo? Sorry I took so long in the library. I didn't mean to, he caught me at the locker before I came out." Reina explained, fidgeting with the bento.
Kyo peeked a look at her with one eye. He sighed, feeling guilty. 'Why the hell am I feeling guilty? I'm not the one who went off with some other guy.' He closed his eye again. 'But it's not like she did it intentionally.' Kyo was still mad, but he couldn't be mad at her. She would never do something like that on purpose. But, Takeda, on the other hand, he could see trying to cause trouble. He frowned, remembering the way Shin looked at Reina.
Reina sat there in silence as Kyo said nothing. She looked over to him and saw him frown. 'I guess he really is mad.'
"Kyo?"
Kyo remained silent as he heard her move closer.
"Kyo? Are you... sleeping?" She leaned forward, hovering above him, her head close to his, looking for signs of sleep.
"Kyo- mmph!" Reina's lips were crushed against his as he surprised her with a quick motion, pulling her head down to his. This kiss wasn't gentle. He ruthlessly kissed her, his tongue quickly invading her mouth as she gasped in surprise. Her hands pushed against his chest, trying to break free. He held tightly onto her wrists, not letting her escape. He wanted to punish her for going off with another guy, for laughing with him, for making him jealous. She was his, dammit. He suddenly softened the kiss, slightly slanting his lips across hers, teasing and coaxing her lips into submission. Reina's struggling ceased as a little moan escaped her lips, the hands that were pushing against him now lay curled into fists, grabbing at his shirt.
His hand gently cupped the back of her head, his fingers tangling in her hair, as he pulled her closer to him. He released his grip on her wrists and softly rubbed circles over the smooth skin before traveling up her shoulder and down her side, his thumb gently brushing the side of her breast. She felt a shiver go up her spine as heat pooled between her legs. She whimpered in protest when he pulled away from her, eyes mirroring each other, filled with lust and desire.
"Kyo?" She looked at him dazedly, not knowing why he stopped.
"The bell."
Reina gave him a blank stare, not quite understanding him.
"The bell rang. You gotta go to class."
"What? It- I didn't hear it." She flushed with embarrassment as she straightened.
Kyo was quite pleased to hear that. He grinned at her. "Better get going before you're late. But you could always tell the teacher we were spending some quality time together and forgot the time."
Reina blushed harder, quickly grabbing her things to leave. He grabbed her hand before she could get up. "Where's my kiss?"
Reina shyly gave him a peck on the mouth before running to class. Kyo watched her until she entered the building before laying back down, content that he wasn't the only one who felt that mind blowing kiss.
Shin left the library, pissed and annoyed. 'Who the hell does he think he is?! I don't care if he is her boyfriend. Fucking punk.' He knew a girl like Rain had a boyfriend, but he didn't think she'd go for that arrogant, self-centered, boy band type. Rain was different from the other girls. Yeah, she wasn't drop dead gorgeous or even beautiful, but there was something about her that made you stop and stare. She was like a breath of fresh air in this perfumed, elegant cage they called school. She was real and Shin wanted her. Deep in thought, Shin's shoulder accidentally hit another student walking by in a group.
"Hey! What the fuck? Watch it punk!" the curly haired boy exclaimed.
"Yeah man. Now apologize to my friend here, before you get it." The curly haired boy's beefy friend sneered.
Shin stopped, astonished that anyone would speak to him that way. He was going to apologize, but not anymore. Shin smirked at the group.
"Oh really? What exactly is "it", hmm?"
"Hey, man, that's the new kid," one of them whispered. "You all better leave him alone."
"Yeah, you should listen to your friend." Shin's grinned. He knew they were going to retaliate for that remark. He was looking forward to it.
"Looks like the new kid doesn't know how to shut the hell up. He needs to be taught a lesson." The beefy boy swung at him with that last word.
Shin dodged his attack. "Too slow, big boy."
That got the beefy kid even madder. He lunged for Shin again while his friends surrounded them.
Shin punched him, sending him to the ground before turning quickly to punch the boy behind him, busting his nose. Shin glared at the other two boys, daring them to come hit him. They were smart enough to back away, looking helplessly at their bloody friend on the ground screaming that his nose was broken.
"Next time you want to mess with someone, make sure they can't kick your ass. Later bitches." Shin grinned at them before leaving, feeling a lot better.
A loud whistle pierced the hallway. Mr. Itoshi, the P.E. teacher came running down the hallway. "Stop right there Mr. Takeda! You five, come with me now!" he demanded. He turned to one of the boy helping his friend get up. "You! Take your friend to the infirmary, get him cleaned up then come to my office."
Shin groaned as he reluctantly followed Mr. Itoshi. 'Great. Just great.'
Reina heard about the fight when she got to class. The other students were whispering to each other, one tale different from another about how Shin beat up the boys.
"I heard he broke poor Noazu's nose with one punch." The girl in front of Reina whispered to her group.
"No way! Really? I heard he beat up Noazu and Hitoshi up, then threatened all four of them if they told the teacher on him."
"No. None of that's true. I heard he said he'd send the Yakuza on them four for touching him." One of the boy in class said leaning over to them.
"What?! Really?!" The group of girls exclaimed at once.
The boy, nodded eagerly, lighting up as he got their attention.
Reina rolled her eyes in disgust, not believing a word that came out of their mouths. They just wanted to have their time in the spot light, telling tall tales. She looked over to the empty desk next to her. 'Shin... I hope you're alright.'
No sooner did she think those words, in came Shin. The chattering came to a halt, everyone turning to stare at Shin. He ignored their stares and took his seat, slouching in his seat before sending everyone a glare for still staring. Reina almost laughed at how fast the heads turned back and eyes advert their gazes off Shin.
"What are you smiling at?" Shin asked, glancing over at her.
Reina shook her head. "Nothing." She looked down at his bandaged hand and frowned. "What happened to you?"
"Oh, this? Nothing. Stupid nurse made a fuss and bandaged up my hand for no reason. It was just a scratch."
"Oh." Reina left it at that. 'Well if he doesn't want to say anything, then that's none of my business.'
"No, I didn't start it, if that's what you were thinking. I didn't even want to fight." Shin said, feeling the need to make her understand that he wasn't the one to cause it.
"I didn't think that you did." Reina said simply.
Shin gave her a skeptical look. Everyone always assumed he started all the fights. 'That's nice to hear for a change.'
Reina gave him a questioning look when he kept staring at her. "What?"
Shin shook his head. "Nothing." He paused as the teacher started calling attendance. He leaned over to her and whispered. "It's nice to have a friend for a change."
Reina smiled back at him, reaching over to gently squeeze his uninjured hand, glad that he considered her a friend.
'Hm... this should be interesting...' The person in the hallway smirked, snapping photos of Reina and Shin.
