Bloody Crush!

By: Cold Rain

Rated: PG-13 for mild violence and yaoi

NOTE TO READERS: Hi, Readers! (cowers) I sowwy, Readers! I don't mean to make the chappies short, they just turn out that way! I'm gonna try to make it up with this one. No matter how much brain power it takes, this one will be a reasonable size! I swear! Anyway, sorry Filthy, but this is the way I write. I've never seen the anime of Get Backers in English, so I can't really picture them saying it much. Oh, and don't worry guys, I'm not abandoning the fanfic. It's just that I'm grounded from the computer on weekdays. Lines between paragraphs mean scene/time transitions (including flashbacks which will be written in past tense). Translations for Japanese phrases will be at the end of the chapter. Oh, and I don't own Get Backers, any of the characters, etc.

DISCLAIMER: If you didn't read the Note to Readers here it is again: I don't own the Get Backers, any of the characters, etc. I just own the fanfic.

CHAPTER 7: Can't Stop the Love

"Where are we going, Himiko-chan?" Ginji smiles as they walk down a dark alley. It's now late sunset, which is really awesome to look at. The sky is painted with pink, purple, and blue. Ginji looks in awe at the sky for a moment and then moves on.

"You'll see..." Himiko smiles. It's not as much of a smile as it is a smirk. A very devious smirk. Ginji, of course, doesn't notice. Once they get past the alley, they end up in the park.

"Yay! The park! Himiko-chan, are we gonna get a hotdog?" Ginji happily starts to bounce around, he loves the park. On occasion, Ban brings him here and they share a hotdog or some ice-cream, "Is Ban-chan here?"

"...Ginji-kun?" Ginji freezes when he hears that voice. He knows that voice and it belongs to-

"Akabane-san!? W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing here!?" Ginji panics. He didn't think Akabane liked parks. Then, Ginji notices something strange, (Something smells really good, like flowers... Huh? Why do I feel so fuzzy inside? And where did Himiko-chan go?) Akabane walks up to Ginji and holds up a yellow daisy in front of him.

"I thought you would like this Ginji-kun, it reminds me of you," Akabane "diverts his eyes" (since they're closed, he's technically diverting his face) while Ginji takes the daisy.

"A-arigatou, Akabane-san," Ginji blushes while holding the flower, (Why does my face feel like it's burning up?) A gentle breeze passes through the park and fades away.

(Where did Ginji go!? I'm so worried! Where did he go!?) Ban knew questions like that aren't even worth thinking. If he's not at Honky Tonk, he's at the park. Ginji loves it there and actually, so does Ban. And that's because he's always with Ginji when he's there. Ginji, the oblivious blonde, the former leader of the Volts, the person who means more than anything to Ban. A familiar figure by the name of Sorin walks up to Ban. Ban stares at him for a moment, then asks, "Wind-boy, we meet again. What are you doing here?"

"Are you looking for your partner?" Sorin smirks, not giving Ban a chance to answer, "Because I saw Kuroudo Akabane getting really friendly with him."

"And what do you mean by that?" Ban raises an eyebrow at the comment.

"I mean that those two look like lovers or something," Sorin is really pushing his luck saying that.

"What!?" Ban's eyes widen with shock, but then he starts to think about what Sorin is saying. It's impossible; Ginji is scared to death of Akabane. Ban's eyes narrow at Sorin in anger; Sorin is obviously lying. Ban clenches his fist then unclenches it. He's preparing to use the Snake Bite.

"Hey! Calm down, Midou!" Sorin runs his hand through his dark hair nervously, "That's just what I saw."

"Where's Ginji?" Ban hisses through clenched teeth, (He can't mean that. Ginji and Akabane? No way! I want Ginji to stay by my side!)

"At the park," Sorin gives a sulky glare as Ban runs to the park, of course that was where Ban was heading the whole time, (Midou Ban, do you even notice me? You need to know I still exist. I need to understand how this all happened!) "I still exist!" the wind starts to distort angrily as Sorin screams in anger with no one around to hear.

"Ginji- kun," Akabane grins ecstatically about the change in the blonde, "You are actually thanking me? Willingly?"

"Hai," Ginji blinks, "We're teammates... Or at least most of the time we are." The happy former Volts leader doesn't even know the poison perfume (which he was too oblivious to notice in the fist place) wore off. Hey, no one said it was long lasting, right?

"Ginji! There you are!"

"Huh? Ban-chan!" Ginji runs towards Ban and gives him a hug (which doesn't mean much because Ginji doesn't think of things like that very often), "Did you come for ice-cream?"

"Um, no, I was looking for you," Ban blushes as Ginji hugs him tighter.

"Ban-chan shouldn't worry so much. I'm OK."

"Where did you get that flower from, Ginji?"

"Akabane gave it to me," Ginji smiles. Akabane is actually smiling as well; he got promoted from "Akabane-san" to "Akabane".

"Really?" Ban glares at Akabane while Ginji isn't looking.

"Mm-hm, its pretty, isn't it?" Ginji smiles holding out the daisy for Ban to look at.

"Um, yeah. Anyway, do you want to go see a movie? I've gotten some money from that solo job Kazuki asked me to do," Ban blushes when he asks, which he finds very annoying. Ban still doesn't get why Kazuki asked him to change every light bulb in his house and buy groceries. They were tedious jobs, but Kazuki could do them himself.

"Really?" Ginji smiles while his brown eyes sparkle happily. Akabane steps up to the couple.

"Don't worry, I can pay for it," Akabane and Ban start to glare at each other, and since Akabane's eyes are open it has an intimidating effect on any passerby that's unlucky enough to walk through that area of the park.

"Yay! Let's go!" Ginji smiles. He then grabs Akabane's hand and Ban's hand and drags them to the closest movie theater, oblivious to the fact that the two rivals are still glaring at each other.

Anther short one... Sorry, Readers. Oh, well. Anyone want to see their reaction to a certain (G- PG-13 rated) genre of movie? Should there be a popcorn fight? Read and review!

Cold Rain: Yay! Movie!

Ban: Why do I have to bring Akabane!?

Cold Rain: Cuz I say so and I CONTROL YOU. ;P

Ban: ...This sucks.
