Chapter Three-Ran
Yukisho turned around immediately and found herself staring into a pair of icy steel-grey eyes. She was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Ran! It's good to see you again!" she rushed over and hugged Ran who looked slightly perturbed in seeing her.
"Yukisho, it's been ten years." She whispered. A ghost of a smile played at her lips. She returned the hug but briefly. After that she remained calm and compose, not even the slightest emotion appeared on her expressionless face.
"Ha! Still as cool as ever aren't you." Teased Yukisho.
"Yukisho, you know her?" asked Tyson.
"Of course she does you idiot, otherwise why will they hug each other?" Enrique rolled his eyes at Tyson's stupidity.
"Ran and I are very old friends." Answered Yukisho with a secret smile.
Johnny surveyed his so-called 'bodyguard'. Ran had raven black hair, which she tied it into two braids at the sides and leave the rest to fall around her shoulders. Her steel-grey eyes are emotionless. Her face was blank as a piece of white paper. She was wearing a sleeveless black cheongsam top and a pair of black leather pants. What amazes him most was that her pale white skin seems to glow against the darkness of her clothes. He had to admit though; she was beautiful in the cold sense. An ice maiden.
"I cannot risk my only grandson's life. He is the only heir to the McGregor family. Ran is here to protect him until we can catch the killer." Declared Duke Clarence.
"But grandfather, I do not need a bodyguard. And are you sure that she can handle it?" Johnny said arrogantly as he looked at Ran.
Immediately Ran was next to him with a dagger at his throat. Everyone was shocked except Yukisho who simply did not take any notice of Ran's doings. She was busy playing games with her palmtop. Serves Johnny right to insult Ran when she was well known for her silent speed and deadly skills in butchering the enemy.
"If you have any doubts about my abilities Master Johnny, it's best if we sort it out quick. I'm also not happy in being a bodyguard myself, having to protect someone like you." She murmured dangerously low at his ear.
"I suggest that you keep your comments about Ran to yourself, Jonathan. She's the best we have. Ran, take your dagger off my grandson's throat!" Ordered Duke Clarence.
Ran drew back her dagger and looked at Johnny for a second before turning away. "If he does not want me here, I'll leave at once." She said coldly to Duke Clarence.
"No, he will have to have you whether he likes it or not. Don't worry, once this is over, I'll pay you well." He said.
"I don't care much about the money. I'll stay, but keep him off my back. Otherwise the deal's off." She ordered before vanishing into the darkness in front a bunch of fools who were gaping and looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Yukisho smiled secretly and thought, 'Whoa, with Ran around things are sure gonna be interesting. We should really catch up some time.' She noticed that the White Tigers, All Starz and the Majestics have perplexed looks on their faces and smiled.
Kai caught her smile and frowned at the amused expression on her face. 'Shit, we're gonna be heading for trouble again soon.' He was already having a slight headache.
