"Hey Ran! Oh!" Yohji stopped as he saw Aki. Being the hormonally
active guy he is, he just had
to flirt, "My, my, who is this lovely vision of perfection?"
Ran stepped forward, "All, this is Aki Kotasho." Then, seeing no one else was present in the
shop, "She's our new teammate."
"WHA...!? A new member?! And...and a girl?!" Ken cried out. "Ran, I can't work with a...
girl! What if she gets hurt?!" Omi, knowing Kens rants could go on awhile, decided to cheer Aki
up, she looked a little down.
"Hi there! I'm Omi. It's amazing we've got a new teammember. Don't mind Ken, he's just a
little, um, surprised." He gave her one of the sweetest smiles, she just had to laugh.
"It's alright, I'm used to it by now. Kritiker was just as surprised, they just managed to keeps the
rants down to an intelligent questioning as to why I'd want to become a 'you know what'!" They
both started to laugh but stopped when they heard smack and thud. They looked over at Ken,
Ran, and Yohji. Aki gave a little gasp; Ran had just slapped Ken to the floor.
"Oh, he'll be alright. One of us has to do that, or else he might work himself into a stupor." Yohji
said cheerfully.
"O...okay." Aki said quietly. They all stood around in awkward silence. Omi helped Ken up as a
customer came in. More like a mob of screaming teenage girls rushing in the door.
"Oh lookie! Omi-san"
"Wait, who's this?"
"That's not fair! Why does she get to work with the bishounen!?"
"WAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"If you're not buying anything, get out." Ran said angrily, but to no prevail. He couldn't be
heard over the din of all the girls screams and wails. After a few seconds, like a foghorn on a
silent lake, Aki exclaims,
"If you're not going to buy something, get out NOW!" Stunned silence was everywhere as
everyone turned to look at Aki.
"Listen to her, buy, or get out." Ran said icily.
"Psssssssst...we should go now."
"Alright, come on." All of them left, except for the few who were there to actually look and buy
flowers, not the boys. After everyone was tended to, it came close to closing time.
"Let's just lock up early." Yohji said.
"Fine by me," Then, in a whisper to Yohji, Ken said, "Then we can find out more about this Aki
girl."
"I'll lock up," Ran said. "Aki, could you please assist me up here?"
"Sure"
"All of you go downstairs. I would like to speak to Aki alone."
"Okay, we'll see ya down there." Ken said before walking down with the other two. Ran just
started the usual cleanup, not saying a word. Aki stood there and stared at him.
"You said you wanted to talk to me."
"Hn...? Yes, how did you do that?" He asked somewhat nervously.
"Do what? Oh, you mean raise my voice like that? I dunno, my voice can reach very high levels
sometimes."
"But why? I mean, the girls weren't bothering you, just us."
"Well, they were. I don't like large groups of people, especially ditzy, squeamish ones. You
could probably hold up a worm, and they'd all piss their pants and run." Ran just nodded,
without so much as a smile.
"Well, I'm done here. Let's head down." He started towards the back. Aki followed soon after,
but not before looking at the receeding Ran for a moment.
