WHERE TO FIND A PERFECT GIRL
Author's Note: (Aqua Alta)
Kill me for being egoistic. I write depending on my mood. Right now, I am on the mood of Get Backers and perhaps a little Artemis Fowl, so please do not blame me if I did not update my other stories for now.
Try to enjoy. This is my first GB fanfic, for God's sake! Give me a rest! Eware for a lot of OOC-ness!
Disclaimer: I do not own GB. If I did, Kazuki and Ren would be together by now. BTW, the lyric is mine. I wrote it for this particular fic.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This story is kinda AU. I repeat, a little AU. This is what will happen if the adventure on Mugenjou concerning Makubex and IL never happens. BTW, Ren is also a REAL person. Thank you very much.

Fuuchouin Kazuki was not someone who could be disturbed with something such as a beautiful lady walking down the street, trying to flirt with him just because he was the Prince of Battles. He would perhaps cast a glance and a wry smile, but never more. It was not as if he took interest of men instead of women. It was because he had not found someone who was particularly worthy enough to leave him mouth agape and eyes wide. He was beginning to worry about that fact, since his mother had told him to continue their clan. He was her only hope.
As he watched a woman with huge bust winking at him as if trying to lure him, he thought bitterly, 'How am I going to meet the best person for me if I continue to stay in Mugenjou?'
Mugenjou definitely would have been at the bottom of his list of 'Where to Find a Perfect Girl' if he had one.
However, it did not seem to be in the same position in a perfectly similar list belonged to the Gods above and Fate. If only he had known….

I have walked through all kinds of crowds
I have seen all kinds of places I can reach
Thinking that perhaps someday I will find
A person that is caring and truly kind

Kazuki walked out of the Mugenjou, deciding that he should drop by Honky Tonks and take a sip of coffee for his own sake. It was long since he had ever felt so…alone and unlike himself before.
Thunder roared nearby, and lightning struck. Drops of rainwater started to fall, too much sooner for his liking. He pushed through the crowd, the rain soaking his long hair and clothes mercilessly.
It was then he bumped into someone, hard. The force made him step backwards, yet it made the person he bumped into fall onto a puddle on the hard surface of the street. The person let out several curses, which astounded him since the person had a girl's voice.
"Oh, I am sorry!" he said hurriedly, offering a hand towards the stranger. "Here, let me help…."
There was a small laugh and the stranger said, "Jeez, thanks. Actually, we both bumped into each other, so I think it is appropriate for me to say this: I'm sorry too."
The stranger got up and Kazuki looked down, only to find him staring at the most petrifying bright blue eyes he had ever seen. The girl—yes, it was indeed a girl—had short red hair that was slightly spiked up, which nearly caused him to think that she was a boy. There was a smile with a hint of embarrassment on her lips, and she was wearing a VOLTS jacket.
"That is…," he said slowly. "…the VOLTS jacket…."

And when one day I do, it will be on a rainy day
I will bump onto her accidentally
Then she will say sorry and so do I
At least that is what I am dreaming right now
If one day I can find her…

"You know about the VOLTS?" she asked, suddenly beaming and full of excitement. "I was a member of it, but only a junior, of course. To be honest, I actually never thought that a man like you could know 'bout VOLTS. I mean... Well, I do not mean any offense…. But your appearance…"
"I know," Kazuki cut her curtly. He smiled warmly, a real warm smile this time. "I do look harmless and perhaps—I know this is strange for me to say so—feminine."
The girl laughed. Kazuki found her voice strangely comforting and warm, like spring breeze in chilling winter. "Yeah," she said awkwardly. "You are…a real guy, aren't you?"

Her eyes will be petrifying and bright with joy
Her hair will portray her lively self
Her smile will be as cheerful as young leaves
Perhaps I will meet her later, with her warm laugh and all

"I am a true guy in the heart," Kazuki said, smiling slightly. He never felt so open before. Even the rain could not make the warm feeling in his heart disappear. "May I escort you to the place you are going? After all, I did make your clothes wetter than it properly would be."
She smiled nervously, wiping her wet face. The rain did not seem to stop soon. In fact, it was just getting harder with each passing second. "No, you do not need to. Really," she said, giving him a reassuring smile.

Kazuki did not want to surrender and turn back that easily. "Please," he said. This girl was special, and he was going to know her more. "I do not intend any harm, if that is what you are concerning about."
The girl seemed to consider his sentence. "Well," she said hesitantly. "I am actually going to a café nearby. Its name is Honky Tonks. Do you know it?"
Kazuki's eyes widened for a second, yet then he settled back to his calm demeanor. "Sure," he said, taking her hand in his. She let him took it, although her face went red and she tensed a bit. He chuckled again. "May I know your name?" he asked softly, leading their way through the crowd.

One day I will find her surely
And once I do, I will never let her go
I will etch her features and name in my mind
Making sure not to lose them forever
Oh, she will be in my mind forever

"Ren," she said. "Radou Ren."
"It is nice to meet you, Ren-san."
"Just Ren," she said, her usual cheerfulness going back to her tone. "Just call me Ren."
"Then, it is very nice to meet you, Ren."

Since she is the girl I've been looking for…
