Chapter 5: Dareka wo nikumi

"So, Ran, how did the date go?" Yoji asked as he sat across Ran.

"It wasn't a date." Ran grunted.

"Okay, it wasn't." Yoji sighed. "What did you talk about?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing, you say? Well, I guess it's natural for you to say nothing to her."

Ran didn't respond.

"Come on, Ran. You know she likes you."

"We've patched things up, okay? We're friends now, happy?"

"Really? When?"

"Just now."

"So my idea worked after all."

"What idea?"

Yoji grinned. "Aya and I went out on purpose to leave you and Sakura alone."

"So that's the reason my sister didn't want me to come along,"

"But it worked."

"Why'd you do that?"

"Aya and I noticed that whenever you're around, Sakura appears to be so nervous. Maybe that's because you act so mean to her. That's why we thought of leaving you two so you can talk."

Ran glared at him. "Don't you ever do that again."

"Hey, at least our plan worked." Yoji smiled. "How did you get to be friends?"

"It's really none of your business."

"None of my business? I guess you two really had an understanding."

Ran gave Yoji his death glare.

"Okay, it's none of my business." Yoji held up his hands.

================================================

"Omi---" Hidaka Ken called as he struggled to carry the paperbags. He couldn't see where he was going since the paperbags he was carrying blocked his sight. "Help---Omi!"

Omi stopped walking and looked at him.

"Omi---!!! Help me out!"

"Sorry, I've got my hands full too," Omi replied, he was carrying more but lighter bags than Ken.

He and Ken had just finished doing errands for the shop, and they've gone shopping for grocery items, just as Aya had requested them to. Ken didn't expect doing grocery for Aya would take so much time. Ken sighed.

"Ken-kun, if you prefer not to get hit by a speeding car, you'd better hurry walking across the street." Omi said.

"I'm trying!" Ken answered. "These paperbags are definitely heavy!"

"I'm surprised Aya-chan can handle carrying all these stuff." Omi grinned.

"She's not the one carrying these paperbags when she goes shopping. Ran does." Ken grunted.

"Then I'm surprised Ran can handle carrying these." Omi laughed.

"Me too." Ken replied as they both crossed the street safely.

"Just a few more blocks and we're back to the shop." Omi said as he continued to walk towards the shop's direction.

"I wonder what they're doing? We've been out for five hours!" Ken went to follow Omi.

"How should I know?" Omi shrugged.

"These stuff sure are heavy."

"Funny of you to even mention," Omi laughed.

"Haha." Ken replied.

"Ken-kun, have you ever imagined your life---- with the one you love?"

Ken stopped. "Why do you ask?"

"No, I just thought of it."

Ken grinned. "No, not really. I haven't done much thinking ever since---ever since we fought we Schwartz."

"I see. You're still sad of what happened to---" Omi hesitated to mention her name. The name of the woman Ken learned to love.

"To whom?" Ken was clueless of what Omi was talking about.

"No, it's nothing. Nevermind what I said." Omi shook his head.

Ken sighed as they continued walking in silence. Moments later, Ken decided to break the silence between them.

"I was kind of wondering, Omi---"

"What?"

"What if we try to get Sakura and Ran together?"

"Them?" Omi stopped walking.

"Yeah. Sakura likes Ran..."

"But Ran doesn't feel the same about her..."

"Omi-kun...."

"Ken-kun, Ran wouldn't even talk to her, not a word, and you're thinking of bringing them together?"

"Was it a bad idea?" Ken asked.

"Well, it depends on how Sakura-chan and Ran-san would respond to it."

"I guess it really was a bad idea..."

"You mean the worst. Ran-san wouldn't hesitate to kill if you try to do it."

"I know. But seeing Sakura all nervous when Ran's around..."

"So you did notice too."

"Of course. Who wouldn't?"

"Ran."

"Right. So---"

"Forget about the idea, Ken-kun. It won't work."

"How can you say that? We haven't even tried."

"Even if you try or not, it won't work, okay?"

"Aww---Omi!"

"Ask Yoji instead."

"He's a selfish guy, all he cares about is dating women."

"Well, you can ask him for advise on how to get Sakura-chan and Ran-san together."

"So you agree with my idea?"

"Not really."

"So what do I do?"

"Nothing for the moment."

"But---"

"Ken-kun, you do remember the mission Manx told us?"

"Uh, yeah, so?"

"Our mission comes first, above anything else."

Ken sighed. Omi was right. Weiß had always come first in their lives. There was no way he nor Omi could quit Weiß. They simply couldn't. They were living the lives of assassins.

"We have to accomplish the mission first before we do such things." Omi reminded him.

"Okay, okay. I get what you're getting at." Ken groaned as they turned right at the next corner.

"The shop's just one block away, can you still walk?" Omi teased.

"Yeah, I'm alright."

"Be careful, we'll be crossing the road again," Omi smiled. He looked to both sides, and upon seeing there was no car, he motioned for Ken to follow.

"Got it," Ken replied as they carefully crossed the street.

Out of nowhere, a car came speeding, turning around the curb, and was headed straight for Ken. Omi saw the driver was panicking upon the sight of Ken crossing the street, he did his best to stop the car.

"KEN-KUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Omi screamed.

Ken's eyes widened as he saw the danger. The car was going straight at him, and if he didn't get out of the way, he'd get hit. He felt pangs of panic and fear. It was his first time to actually feel panic and fear at the same time. He feared greatly for his life.

The car continued running towards him. He was about to jump back to the sidewalk when someone came to his rescue and push him out of the way. Ken suddenly realized that it was Omi who had pushed him out of the way.

"OMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ken shouted as the car came to a full stop.
