Ran silently stalked up behind his prey, went directly behind him, and reached up for the elusive flowerpot, deliberatly rubbing gently as he went up.

"Is this what you were after?" the red head asked, allowing the barest hint of amusment to creep into his low voice. Ken turned around in surprise, just in time for his friend to catch the massive blush before it faded. The large expressive brown eyes blinked for a moment, and then tanned hands took the pot from the pale ones.

"Yeah!" a broad beam smile lit up on the shorter boy's face, "Thanks Ran!" he said happily as he ran off to put the flowers into the front of the store.

"Well…" the older boy thought to himself triumphantly, "It may not have been a glomp, but the smile had practicaly erraticated all the shadows in the dark store room. Normily it would only banish half." He smirked at the thought, according to the rules, it counted. "Also, I managed to make him blush, Bounus!" With that, he glided gloatingly out of the storeage room.

Score 1 ½ for Ran.

Ken bolted out happily into the shop and set the sunflowers down, he was immediately surrounded by the fan girls. However, he just felt in too good of a mood to bother shooing them away. "Everybody's been so nice to me!" he thought happily, maby things were looking up after all.



Omi stood at the back of the store with his friend Youji, just watching the world go by. He had heard the two siblings talking and had drawn the right conclusions. Everything in his heart told him to blow the whistle but somehow, he couldn't. Ken would be devestated when he found out. Omi had been his best friend for a while and knew somethings that if Aya and Ran had known, and if they had truly cared, they would have been nice tot eh brunette simply because they wanted to, not because they were compeating for empty affections. He didn't want to be there when the truth finaly came out.

Youji poked the younger blonde.

"'ey Chibi, I know your worried but hey, you never know, things just might turn out for the best."

Omi just shook his head and sighed.

"We can only hope…..we can only hope."
