Cougar looked from Ryuho to Tachibana, "And I will ask you again what is he doing here?" Ryuho leaned against the closed door, "You see that your point system has a small, umm let's call it a, glitch" Cougar smiled, "Yes I have sense I have negative one fifty. I see the glitch. But that still doesn't answer my question" Ryuho shook his head and nodded at Tachibana. "Tachibana is the fairest person I know. He will have his Eternity Eight follow us and take tally on us."
Cougar laughed and doubled over slapping his knee, "you….you…you think I would agree to that?" he almost fell to the ground laughing but finally stopped. "I think not." Ryuho's mouth fell open "What do you mean it fair!" Cougar straightened up "This is my contest making the rules mine to change. I, however, do agree that we need a new system. And we will use Tachibana but I also want to use Elian, who can really see everything we do."
Ryuho and Tachibana looked dumbstruck at the taller alter. Either of them thought he had a big enough brain to think of something like that. Ryuho, however, was pulled from shock by Cougar's hand "So do we have a deal?" nodding stupidly Ryuho took Cougar's hand shook it.
Walking out of the room Cougar smiled to himself, 'He thought he could get one over' He laughed out loud, "The Fool!"
:IT BEGINS:
The day wore on like a never ending story for Ryuho. Now that Cougar had night duty, Ryuho had a great idea to take Mimori out to dinner and a movie. The night would be perfect and he would sure get the lead and rack up some points.
Smiling to himself, Ryuho walked down to Mimori's office and leaned against the door frame. Mimori looked up from her work and smiled, "Ryuho what a pleasure!" Trying to be cool Ryuho moved some hair from his face, "So Miss. Kiryu what are you…"
"Hey Miss. Minori ("It's Mimori") Right, Are you ready to take off?" Cougar said bumping it Ryuho to get into Mimori's office. Mimori stood up and grabbed some papers up and walked around her desk to him. "Of course just let me file these papers and we can go." Cougar pulled the papers from Mimori's hands and slapped then into Ryuho's chest. "I'm sure Ryuho would be more then glad to file your paper work Miss. Minori, ("Its Mimori.")."
"Oh Ryuho I don't want to be a bother." Mimori started but Ryuho pulled away with the papers. "No trouble Miss. Kiryu. I would be more then happy to file your work for you." Without another word Ryuho had bowed and was gone.
"Is it just me or has he been acting weird?" Mimori asked Cougar as they sat down to a quick dinner before he had to go on duty. "Maybe Kazuya ("I think his name is Kazuma.") That's what I said. Anyways I think he has received one to many knocks in the head." Mimori looked worried and Cougar knew right away that he had just personally handed Ryuho points.
Sure enough right after dinner Mimori was off to see if Ryuho was feeling ok leaving Cougar with a small kiss on the cheek. She hurried up to his room and knocked on the door lightly incase he had a headache. Ryuho open the door shirtless, a towel around his waist and his hair dripping.
Mimori took one look, blushed, and turned around quickly, "Ryuho I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb your bath." She said this all in a speed that would make even Cougar go "Huh?" But luckily Ryuho understood it and laughed gently. "It's ok Miss. Kiryu. I was getting out. Please come in and I'll go get changed." He showed her into his quarters and went to change.
He came back dressed in sweats and a muscle shirt the towel draped around his shoulders to catch the water dripping from his hair. :GOD FORBID HE REALLY DRY IT: He sat on the couch across from Mimori and leaned forward, "So what brings you here Miss. Kiryu?" She looked at him worry in her eyes. "Cougar thinks you might have been hit once too many times in the head by Kazuma. So I came to check up on you and if you have a headache I give an ok Temple Massage."
Liking the temple massage Ryuho went and sat next to Mimori, "Now that you mention it my head has been hurting." She patted her lap and he leaned into it. She started rubbing her thumbs into his temples gently. He loved this attention from her and reminded himself that he would have to pay her back some how later. No sure then she started though Ryuho had fallen asleep.
Looking down Mimori smiled and moved some hair from his face. "Oh Ryuho you look so peaceful. You look like a little kid again. You look the way you did before…" Her whisper of a voice faded and her eyes filled with tears. Some of them fell on Ryuho's face waking him up.
"Mimori what's wrong he asked sitting up looking at her, concern in his eyes. She shook her head and got up. "Have to go Ryuho. I'm glad I can make you feel better." With that said she got up and left. Once the door was shut Ryuho closed his eyes and leaned back. 'What did I do in my sleep?' He asked himself.
Mimori ran down the hall tears streaming down her face. She didn't want to remember the past, she didn't want to remember how he use to be, because he would never be that person again. She turned the corn and ran into someone's chest. She knew it was Cougar. She could smell his sweet scent of cologne and fresh air. So she stayed in his arms and let herself break down in his chest.
Slightly shocked by almost being run over Cougar looked down at Mimori who was now crying into his chest. "Hey now what's wrong?" he asked bending slightly trying to get their eyes to meet. She shook her head, "Nothing." Cougar placed his forehead on hers and nudged it. "Come on you can tell me." "It's Ryuho." Mimori said and then sniffed. Cougar wiped her face with one of his hands and his voice deepened slightly with hatred, "What did he do?" She shook her head again, "It's not what he did, it's what he'll never be again." More tears ran down her face and she beat her fists on Cougar's chest.
"I wont him back Cougar! He used to be such a gentle person! He loved nature and everything in it. He loved me!" She cried harder and Cougar held her back. Sadness filled his chest though because he thought that maybe she might be seeing that he really loved her. She however only saw him as a friend who she had gotten drunk with.
It crushed Cougar to know that she was still deeply in love with Ryuho. His hope was disappearing with every tear that leaked out of her eyes. He was a fool to ever think that she could ever love him.
She pulled back away from him and looked up into his eyes. "Cougar you're not good to be try sometimes you know." She said her voice quivering with her tears. "You are here listening to me cry about a man I can never have, a Man that is too good for me…"
Cougar gripped her shoulders slightly tight and shook her, "Don't you ever say that! You are too good for that cold hearted ass hole! If he can't see how beautiful you are, how wonderful and perfect you are then he doesn't deserve you! If he is too blind to see that you love him and want to be with him then screw him. Don't ever say that he's too good because he's not even worth it if he is just going to ignore you." Tears threaten to spill from Cougar's eyes as he looked into Mimori's eyes.
But it was like a light had been lit in her eyes. Cougar was right for once and she, Mimori, would have to move on. No mater how much it hurt.
Off in a dark room Elian and Tachibana looked at each other and shook there head at the same time. "For today I'm going to give Ryuho a 10 and Cougar an 11 because she was able to tell him what was wrong with her and not Ryuho." Tachibana said writing the scores on two pieces of paper.
