Chapter 28

Next day after school

Ryuu and Rinka are walking to the convenient store near the school

Rinka "And you're sure it's a good idea for me to come?"

Ryuu nods taking her hands "Definitely."

She blushes softly at the connection.

Ryuu lets go "It's okay. I'm not gonna rush you. I just… you mean a lot to me. I'm not gonna do anything."

She nods "I know. I'm sorry. I just…"

He smiles softly "I know Rin. I'm here. I'm here. He's not. It's okay."

She smiles at him

"Oi bangs. Pigtails stop flirting."

Both turn to the voice and roll their eyes.

Ryuu "bout time you got here Tadashi. Sup Hitoko."

Hitoko waves "Ryuu! What do you think of my hair? Dashi says I should do purple again."

Ryuu ruffles his now blue hair "Looks good Hitoko. You don't have to change your hair just to please your idiot boyfriend. In fact. Do whatever you can to piss him off."

Hitoko laughs "Will do. Hey! Rinka right?"

Rinka nods "Cool hair Hitoko. I'm surprised the school lets students dye their hair?"

Dashi "Are you guys not allowed to??"

Both shrug "Dunno?"

Ryuu "Come to think of its… isn't Kayano-san's hair brown?"

Rinka nods "I forgot she dyes it…"

Ryuu shrugs it off "Anyway let's go. Hitoko you coming to?"

Tadashi "Dad suggested it. Said something weird."

"Weird and dad like?"

Tadashi nods "Yea…"

Ryuu grabs his shoulder and hisses into his ear "I swear if Nee-san's boyfriend shows up too. I don't care who's team he's on. I'm shooting him."

Tadashi pushes him away "Chill Nii-san. Dad doesn't even know Rukia-nee has a boyfriend. Now let's all hurry before Dad freaks."

The four chat a bit while they walk.

They get to the paintball arena.

Guy "How may I help-" He looks at the snipers and frowns "YOU two again!"

Ryuu "Hey Tom… good to see ya too…"

Tom sighs before smiling "Glad my two favorite customers are back with others this time. You two know the way."

Rinka smiles "Thanks Tom."

He nods and the four go to the large arena.

Tsukki "You four are finally here."

Senna "We decided on teams! Rin-Chan you're with me, Rukia-nee, and Dad!"

She smirks at Ryuu "Sweet. We're gonna crush them. You're dead Ryuu."

He aims his gun "Well see about that Rin."

Hitoko "Isn't Ryuu a beast at shooting? We're totally gonna win!"

Ryuu watches Rinka leave "I'm so dead…"

Hitoko "Let's go get in positions."

Ryuu holds his hand up "Let me go ahead. I have a plan but I need a distraction. Tadashi you've played laser tag with us before remember? You know my plan."

Translation "Remember what Rin and I are. Cover me and my secret."

Tadashi nods "Got it."

Ryuu "The biggest threat is Rin. We had a paintball war at school before and we were on the same team. She took out the second most people after our friend Nagisa. Neither of us found each other." He shakes his head "Split up."

He runs off jumping on walls and climbing alarmingly fast up a tower on his side.

Haruka "…Should I be concerned?"

Tadashi laughs awkwardly "His classroom is in the woods. He got bored with the walk and decided to start swinging on trees like the monkey he is."

Hitoko "He's odd… lets go!"

While this happened

Rinka "Ryuu's gonna try sniping us."

Rukia "We should take him out first."

Rinka "If Senna distracts him I could probably land a shot. He wouldn't shoot his own little sister from super close range." She scans the arena and spots a high point "He's gonna be up high near a window. I wanna be the one to take him."

Tsukki smirks teasingly "You and Ry sure are a competitive couple?"

She blushes softly fiddling with the gun "I suppose we are competitive. Sometimes at school we'll play paintball and if we're on opposite team we're always the last ones and half the Karasuma-sensei has to call it a draw. Ryuu's better at long distance than I am but I'm more flexible with quicker reflexes. We're a good team. Separate though? We have openings. And I know his."

The siren goes off signaling game start

Ryuu peers threw his scope at his brother who's hiding with Hitoko while Rukia sneaks around. Rukia shoots Tadashi and Hitoko shoots her.

Rukia and Tadashi out.

Ryuu 'Gee great job Tadashi…'

He scans the arena looking for a certain pigtailed girl. A bullet flies passed him and he knows it missed on purpose.

He looks through the scope and sees Rinka smirking waving her gun at him

Ryuu fires and Rinka dodges so the bullet hits Haruka instead.

Ryuu 'Shit!'

Haruka "RYUU!!!"

Rinka smirks "Two against three now."

Ryuu clicks his tongue switching targets.

Ryuu 'Time to even out the field.'

He fires the gun hitting his fathers shoulder 'that should look like a rookie shot'

Tsukki sulks exiting the field grumbling.

Rinka and Senna vs Ryuu and Hitoko

Rinka kneels down beside Senna "Okay Senna-chan. Now pull this trigger right here?"

Senna does and it's the now blue haired boy

Hitoko smirks as a paint bullet hits Senna and Rinka barely dodges.

Rinka "One to one I guess."

More bullets fly but she's able to dodge since she knows his shooting.

Rinka 'I need to get closer. From this distance I don't have a chance. He'll win at this rate.'

Ryuu clicks his tongue as she hides 'Shit. I need to hit her before she can get close. If she gets to close I'm screwed.'

Ryuu goes up higher to the top and barricades the door and goes to the window 'Well only way in or out is the window.'

He peers through it and scans the arena.

'Shit!!!! Where is she?!?!'

Rinka looks at the three towers 'Ryuu tends to take the right a lot. He knows I know that. The shots earlier came from middle so he'd switch again going to left since he hasn't yet. He knows I'd expect that. He's in the right- no. Middle. Middle tower still. Probably went up higher to get a better view. He's gonna expect me to snipe him from one of the other towers. Ryuu would still barricade the room he's in.'

Rinka climbs up the hidden side of the building onto the second to top floor.

She goes up the stairs.

Chiba hears the doorknob shaking and aims his gun 'She's here!'

A bullet flies past him and he barely dodges aiming his gun and his fellow sniper.

Ryuu "How'd you even get in here?"

Rinka smirks "New trick I was working on to kill Korosensei. It works on you apparently."

He smirks keeping his gun aimed at her and she does the same.

Rinka "You gonna shoot me or not."

Ryuu smirks walking towards her both keeping aim

He's right in front of her and lowers her gun with his before tilting her chin up "Who knows."

He traces her bottom lip with his thumb making her blush deeply and heart speed up. He puts his other hand on her shoulder and whispers softly

"I win. You're out."

He steps back and points to her shoulder.

Rinka's eyes widen seeing the paintball splattered on her "How'd you?!"

He opens his hand to show the paint of it "I was holding bullets. I know you Rin. Close range I don't stand a chance. But~ bitch-sensei's Class is paying off right~?"

Rinka blushes furiously "You're such a tease Ryuu!!! I thought you were gonna-!"

She stops and looks away covering her mouth.

Ryuu smiles softly kissing her forehead "Rin? You're so cute when blushing~ what did you think I was gonna do~?"

"Ah- Nothing! Ha ha let's just go…"

They start walking down the tower.

Ryuu "Rin?"

She glances at him.

He steals a quick kiss before exiting the building holding her hand "Let's go."

They get back to his family and Hitoko.

"So who won?"

Ryuu smirks victorious "Us."

Rinka "He played dirty……"

Ryuu shrugs "I play to win Rin. You know my style and I know yours."

Rinka jabs him "Cheater."

He rubs his side "Rude."

Rukia "Did Ryuu do that thing where he shoots your gun out of your hand then shoots you?"

Rinka "Something like that…"

Ryuu shrugs "If it works it works."

Haruka "Well that was fun!"

Hitoko "Yeah definitely! I should get going though."

Tsukki "Need a ride?"

Hitoko laughs slightly "Please…"

"What about you Rinka?"

"I think I'll walk. I need to stop by my friends house for something."

Ryuu "Nakamura?"

She sighs "Yup. Bye guys. See ya around. Also Ryuu? You're dead next time."

"I know I know. Bye. See you at school."

She waves bye before leaving.

Ryuu smiles softly.

Rukia "You've got it bad Ryuu."

He blushes "Nee-san!!!!!"

They all laugh teasing him the whole drive.
