Chapter 6
Green Eyes Run Deep
Just as Ran was about to kiss Yuuya in her dream her cell went off waking her. She jumped up, hoping it was Yuuya.
"Moshi-moshi?"
"Hey Kotobuki, it's Otohata."
"Oh, hey."
"Don't sound so disappointed."
"I'm not. How's it going?"
"Fine. Umm. listen. I'm sorry about the other day. You really did need to know, but Yuuya couldn't see that. I shouldn't have told you, but really I shouldn't have told you when he was around. I'm sure things are just a mess right now."
"No, things are fine. In fact I hung out with Yuuya yesterday."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Things are fine, really."
"Okay, well there's some other stuff I need to talk to you about. I don't want to do it on the phone. How about you meet me at the crepes stand and we'll talk about it over crepes."
"Well, I dunno. I'm kinda busy today."
"My treat."
"I'm totally there!"
"Great. See ya around 1."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Ran careful fingered the condor attached to her cell while she waited.
"What's wrong?"
Ran jumped. It was Otohata. "Nothing. Just thinking."
"Okay, well what flavor do you want?"
"Chocolate!"
Rei grinned at bought two crepes. He handed one to Ran and they went to find a place to sit and eat in the sun.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Yuuya. He's never had a girlfriend. In fact, you're the first girl he's ever liked and I'm not sure why."
"Gee, thanks."
"I don't want him rushing into things that he can't handle. I don't know what it is about you, but I think he wants you to be his first kiss."
"What? He said he was waiting for someone special."
"Yeah, and for some reason he thinks that's you."
"It-it can't be me he's waiting for. I'm no good with guys. I mean I just got dumped by one of the coolest guys in Shibuya."
"Tatsuki? He's not cool."
"In the eyes of a gal he is."
"I thought me and Yuuya were cool. After all, we've been in those dumb magazines and stuff. I think you should be honored at one of those guys all the girls are obsessed over likes you."
POW!
Ran freaked out. Yuuya had just punched Rei right in the eye.
"I thought you were my friend. Now, not only do you break a promise, you're trying to take advantage of Ran!"
"Yuuya he wasn't."
"I know exactly what you were doing Rei!"
Rei got up slowly and glared at Yuuya. "Don't accuse me of something I didn't do."
"I know what you were doing. You were putting the moves on Ran. You always act like being in those magazines are nothing, but you love it because you can hold it over girls' heads to get them to go out with you."
"I don't like Ran like that you jerk!"
An all out war broke out. The two boys shoot insults at each other and punched the lights out of one another.
"Just because you broke Aya's heart doesn't mean you need to break Ran's too!"
"You were too much of a dolt to tell her how you feel, maybe you don't deserve her after all!"
Ran stared wide-eyed at the two boys fighting.
"What's going on?" Miyu asked running up to Ran with Yamato.
"Miyu!" Ran started crying on her shoulder, "I don't know! I was talking to Otohata and then Yuuya came out of no where and." She couldn't go on any longer. She just cried.
Yuuya pulled away from Rei just before Yamato grabbed Rei by the back of his shirt.
"Ran?" He looked like his heart was about to break. "Are you okay?"
"Just stop fighting!" Ran cried even louder.
Yuuya pulled Ran away from Miyu and held her close. "I'm sorry. I just thought he was trying to take you away from me and I couldn't bear that."
"I would never pick Rei over you, Yuuya. He just wanted to talk."
Rei pulled away from Yamato grasp and walked over to them. "Yuuya, I never wanted to hurt you or break your trust. I just thought that now that Tatsuki was gone you might have had a chance. But the only way for you to have had that chance was for you to tell her how you felt. She needed to know."
Yuuya pulled Ran closer to him and glared at Rei. "You didn't have to go behind my back about it."
"I just thought you wouldn't have wanted me to if I asked you. Besides, she came to me asking about you. What was I suppose to do?"
Yuuya looked away from Rei's face. "Hey, I'm sorry I was such a jerk. I just wanted to do things my own way."
"It's cool man."
"All right."
"I'll talk to you later. You still haven't told me about what happened yesterday."
Just as Ran was about to kiss Yuuya in her dream her cell went off waking her. She jumped up, hoping it was Yuuya.
"Moshi-moshi?"
"Hey Kotobuki, it's Otohata."
"Oh, hey."
