Summery: RenXOc Ren goes to lunch with Horo-Horo and his cousin and the sparks start to fly.

Blue Haired Lorie

Blue-haired Lorie of the Ainu stepped into the best restaurant in Tokyo and checked her watch. Lorie didn't actually have blue hair. The nickname was a joke. She actually had light brown hair but everyone else in her family (well at least on her father's side) had blue hair. So they teased her by calling her blue-haired Lorie and somehow the nickname had stuck.

12:05, that meant that she was 15 minutes early. Why was she so early anyway, she was only meeting her annoying cousin and one of his friends who was most likely just as annoying as he was. Although she had to admit that annoying as her cousin was she did love him deep down.

"Lorie! You're early!" her cousin Horo-Horo exclaimed as he entered the restaurant five minutes later.

"So are you, cousin," she replied coolly.

"This is Ren by the way," Horo-Horo said gesturing to the guy who had come in with him. Lorie hadn't noticed him until her cousin drew attention to him. "Ren this is my cousin Lorie," Horo-Horo continued as Lorie got a good look at his friend.

Ren was a little short for his age but not too much he was only about a couple inches shorter than Lorie. He had dark purple hair that spiked up in the back and golden eyes.

"Nice to meet you," she said shaking his hand.

"Likewise," he muttered.

"Let's go sit down shall we?" Horo-Horo said leading his friend and his cousin to their table.

All through the meal Horo-Horo tried to keep the conversation going while Lorie and Ren seemed intent on doing nothing but staring at each other. After awhile Horo-Horo gave up, and accepted that neither of his companions was in the mood for conversation.

"I'll be right back," Horo-Horo said just after he asked for the check. When left alone Lorie and Ren just continued to stare at each other until Lorie broke the gaze by looking away.

"Well you sure are different from your cousin, I half expected you to be the loud and rude just like him," Ren commented after a while.

"Yeah well I half expected you to be the same way," Lorie said.

"Well I guess we shouldn't judge people by Horo-Horo," Ren joked.

"Yeah," Lorie agreed with a laugh.

Then Ren leaned across the table to kiss Lorie on the lips for a few seconds.

"Wow," was all Lorie could say in response to the kiss.

"It was a bet," Ren said defensively.

"Yeah well this isn't," Lorie said leaning over and kissing Ren. When she broke away Ren smiled and kissed her again.

Unknown to them Horo-Horo was hidden around a bend and had seen the whole thing. After they kissed he grinned and pulled out a cell phone. He dialed number and as soon as he heard someone answer he said, "Hey Jun, it worked!"
