Chapter 2: Just in Time for Valentine's

Ryoga scowled when he almost ran into a person dressed as a cupid. It would seem the WHOLE town was preparing for Valentine's Day. And he despised every moment of it. Why? The answer was simple. He had to spend ANOTHER Valentine's Day alone with no one.

"Dumb Valentine's Day."muttered Ryoga.

Ryoga sidestepped a kissing couple and tripped falling on his back.

"Ryoga are you okay?"

"No as a matter of fact I'm not."grumbled Ryoga as he heard a chuckle.

"So your going solo on Valentine's as well?"

Ryoga lifted his head and saw Kotori who was looking back at him.

"I thought you and Yuma were going to spend Valentine's Day together."said Ryoga.

"About that...Yuma and I are just friends."said Kotori.

Ryoga stood up and dusted himself. Kotori plucked a piece of dead leaf from his hair. He blushed when she didn't notice.

"Well since you apparently hate kissing couples."said Kotori as she took his hand and dragged him to a nearby shop.

Unknown to her,Ryoga face was a tomato.

"I thought your mother owned a flower shop."said Ryoga observing the neatly cupid arrow stacked chocolates.

"She does. This is my aunt's shop. I'm working till she comes back with new chocolate shippings."said Kotori as Ryoga looked at a bowl full of shark shaped chocolates with fascination.

"Those are hand-made by my aunt."said Kotori.

"She's really talented."complimented Ryoga.

Ryoga walked around looking at the different chocolates and didn't watch where he was going.

"Ryoga watch out for the-!"exclaimed Kotori.

A big splash was heard.

"Chocolate Wonderfall."finished Kotori.

Kotori had to stifle her laughter as she dried Ryoga's hair. Ryoga wasn't amused.

"The cupid has decided to curse me today."grumbled Ryoga as Kotori smiled.

"What do you have against Valentine's Day?"asked Kotori gently.

"Everything. First of all Rio wanted to date Kaito and when I said she deserve someone better she was about to call Thomas."said Ryoga.

"Now Rio and Kaito are out sitting under a tree or something and kissng."muttered Ryoga as Kotori chuckled.

"She sure is stubborn."remarked Kotori.

"Stubborn?! You have no idea!"snapped Ryoga childishly.

"So Rio has a boyfriend but why don't you have a girlfriend?"asked Kotori as Ryoga blushed.

"You have plenty of fangirls who would love to take that spot."said Kotori her voice starting to break.

"Because the girl I love is the girl I can't have."said Ryoga.

"Oh really who is she?"asked Kotori as she combed Ryoga's now dried hair.

"She's the girl with deep hazel eyes and emerald hair. She has a charming smile and a cheerful person. But unfortunately I can't love her due to my loyalty to my best friend."said Ryoga as Kotori looked at him shocked.

"Th-th at- g-irl is me?"asked Kotori as Ryoga nodded.

So the two found their soul mates. And just in time to celebrate Valentine's Day. Though Ryoga still doesn't tolerate Rio and Kaito.

Zero:Sorry that this one-shot was short. Dangershipping isn't exactly my strong point.
