Game 5: Ranking Fuuta

I couldn't sleep at night about what Kyoya had said. "You're really a weird girl, after all"

What's up with that calling me weird? I'm normal. NORMAL! To the extent that I'm pretty normal, I could die just like everyone else, but that's not the point is there?

"ahhh! It makes me so pissed" I muttered, messing up my hair.

"What's wrong Lys-chan, is something the matter?" Auntie knocked on my door. Good thing I lock it.

"It's nothing Auntie! I was looking for my eraser….oh, I found it!" I said.

"Is that so" then I heard retreating footsteps.

I heard a knock on my window. When I turned Gokudera was there.

"What the hell are you doing here, Gokudera?" I asked. They were supposed to live in an apartment not far from Auntie's house. But in Japan, we call apartment as "mansion".

"I was bored staying in the mansion, nothing to do, so I decided to come here and play with you" I hit him on the head with a paper fan.

"Well, sorry, since I don't have enough leisure time to play with you." I told him.

"I don't see anything that you're actually busy with, so why not we go out and go to an arcade shop" he said excitedly. It seems this guy is really bored with he's life to play in an arcade.

"I thought you hate meaningless stuff like that?" I asked him. He nodded but he gave me a pleading look. He's my subordinate so I couldn't say NO, even so I hit him with a paper fan. It's good for relieving stress you know. Taking them out on a person is really a good exercise for the mind and body.

"Doesn't it feel great, My lady!" Gokudera was breathing in and out the fresh dump November air. It's surely is preparing for winter season.

"Gokudera, how many times have I told you not to call me that!" I scolded him.

"Oh sorry! Lys-chan" he apologized with a wink.

We were walking to the arcade center in Namimori. It seems there was a pack of people inside. Sure cause it's a holiday today. Different sort of people would gather here to hang-out.

"Hey! Gokudera, why isn't cupball with you today?" I asked.

"He's got some errands your father asked him to do" he said.

"What kind of errands is that that concerns here in Japan…….." I remembered about the assassin. "is that about those assa-" I wasn't able to continue. Gokudera was already banging on the punching machine.

He was doing all this to divert my mind on that stuff. I giggled. What a kind subordinate.

"Hey! Gokudera, you won't get the highest score if you hit it like a chick" I told him.

"Hit it like this" I didn't punch it. I kicked it!

100points reach! You won 500 tickets!

The monitor announced.

"500 tickets?! What are those used?" he asked curiously.

"Who knows" was all I reply.

We played all sorts of game present. Gokudera and I was having fun. And I wasn't intending to let him win just because of the good will he have. I'm bringing him down.

"hey! Lys-chan! Aren't you tired. We've collected 5000 tickets already" he complained

"I'm dead tired than you are Gokudera" I said

"I'm drop dead tired than you are" he retorted.

"I'm almost like a dead corpse. I can't move my muscle" I quickly replied.

"I look like a skeleton than you are" he replied. We look at each other and laugh our ass out.

"Okay! Fine! Let's just get and pick up our prize" I told him. He happily agreed.

Meanwhile back at Kyoya.

He was buying ingredients, he's mother asked him to.

"Catch that kid! Don't let him get away!" a man wearing black clothes shouted angrily. They were a group of thugs chasing after a boy.

The boy turned to him and run towards him.

"Help me! These guys are chasing after me! Help me please!" He pleaded.

"Then carry this for me if you want me to save you" he hold out to him, the heavy grocery bags, filled with heavy stuff. The boy obeyed him without any complaint.

"Kid, move away from that boy, if you want to see the light of day!" the man who looks like the leader threatened him.

"See the light of day?….."Kyoya smirked evilly. "Rather than seeing the light of day, how about I show you what darkness really look like" He said in an icy, cold tone. He gave off a killing aura which made the thugs shiver in fear.

He attacked them in a flash. Light quick movement. In just a few minutes, no I mean seconds all the thugs were knock out.

Kyoya calmly grab back the grocery bag he handed to the boy and left as if nothing have happen on the way, however; the boy kept on following him all the way from the store.

Kyoya stopped on he's track.

"Hey! Kid! How long are you going to follow me?" he asked.

"I was separated from my companion and since you save me back then I thought you must be a good person to rely on" the kid gave him he's cutest and innocent reply.

"You sounded like someone I know" Kyoya muttered. "Do you have any means of contacting them?" he asked.

"I don't know but we got separated from the airport since brother was trying to lure them away from me……wait he did gave me an address" the boy searched the pages of the huge book he is carrying, Kyoya was slightly curious about why is the boy carrying such a huge book and the contents of it but he shrugged it quickly.

"I found it big brother!" the boy happily showed him the address. It was written on a paper and the address was………….the ramen store.

"The best ramen store in Namimori High" Kyoya read what was written on it.

"The best ramen store?" the kid was muttering to himself then the ground was loosing its gravity and tiny objects were floating around him.

"The 3rd best ramen store is located in Shibuya near the pachinko, the 2nd best is in south district of Yamabara, the 1st best ramen store is in Namimori high ramen store near the shopping district." He was saying, and then everything went back to normal.

"What the hell did you just did?" Kyoya asked him, but he wasn't as surprised as a normal human could be. He somehow got used to this kind of stuff since he met Lys.

The kid wasn't listening. He took out a pen and started writing it on the huge book. Soon after he finished writing, he closed it in a slam and smiled innocently at Kyoya.

This kid really does give the same behavior as that person.

"Big brother! Could you please accompany to that best ramen store in Namimori." The boy asked him with a cute, puppy eyes look.

Kyoya stared at the boy, hard…then he gave a deep sigh of defeat and agreed. The best ramen in namimori is no other than their ramen store so it could be possible that a frequent customer of them would make it a meeting spot for people such as the kid.

But who could be related to him. An Italian Kid…………well there's only a 3 people he knew who came from Italy and 2 people who are Italian, so there's only one conclusion in this matter. This boy must be an acquaintance of Gokudera since big brother can't be referred to a girl, you know.

"Just like my ranking says, this is the best ramen store in Namimori and in the whole Tokyo region." The kid complimented the store happily since he got to eat a free meal, while waiting for he's companion.

"So how long is that companion of yours keep you waiting?" Kyoya asked.

"I don't know, he told me to wait patiently for him and if he can't make it, then My Lady will have to fetch me." He replied, sipping the last bowl of ramen.

"My Lady?" Kyoya muttered, "Is she your boss or something?" he asked out of a mere human's curiosity.

"No! She's my older sister" was the kid's immediate reply.

"This older sister of yours?" Kyoya paused and hesitated for a bit. He was thinking about Gokudera and Yamamoto referring to "My lady", and they somehow got in good terms with Lys.

"What does your older sister look like so we'll know when she comes in?" he asked, playing with the question.

"ummmm……Its hard to miss her. In a crowd, her golden hair would stand out, her graceful moves make it hard for you to keep her lock in your eyes, she moves like a silent wind whose movement you can never predict. Her blue orbs mesmerize anyone that looks on it. Her voice rings in your ears like a sweet, gentle and lovely melody. In other words, everything about her would define her and she gave an aura that could easily catch anyone's attention." The boy was describing her older sister in an admirable way.

If she's to perfect, then I know a girl who's the opposite of that one. A very terrifying opposite of that one.-Kyoya thought to himself.

"Is that so?" Kyoya uttered with out any sign of awe to Fuuta's amazement.

"ehhh?! Big brother……Aren't you interested to my older sister?" the boy asked in complete surprise. Not because he's interested but he's NOT interested at all.

"uh, not at all. Why do you ask that kid? You're so funny!' Kyoya replied unmoved.

"She's one in a million! Even by listening to how I describe her, you should have an idea of what she look like or develop a sense of admiration to her!" pushed on the kid.

"Why would I admire a person I haven't met yet and besides……………nevermind" Kyoya hesitated on the last sentence.

"Do you have another person that has your full interest, big brother?" The kid asked, he's a sharp kid.

Kyoya studied the kid, and then he showed him his sly smile.

"She's not what you call an ordinary human…….more like a demon dress in an angel's cloak" he replied

"Isn't that person a bad person?" asked the boy, interested at the describe person, who has caught he's full attention, while being describe by Kyoya.

I can't believe that there is another person, who can be described as interesting as my sister-the boy thought

"Wow! That person must be really amazing, right Big brother?" Kyoya stared at him for a second then he moved closer to him.

"Don't call me Big brother, it's a rough language in my ears, just call me onii-san" he told the boy.

The boy stared at him as if he was losing he's mind.

"What's the difference if I call you onii-san from big brother?" he asked.

"calling me onii-san is more suitable for a boy your age in our country, Big brother is more in the Yakuza language here" Kyoya explained.

"Oh! Is that so!" the boy smiled, "then nii-san it is" he agreed happily.

Kyoya stopped. "We're here now!" he announced.

The boy studied the ramen store…..It's not that grand nor well-built but it gives off the air of a warm welcoming aura, thought Fuuta.

"Let's go inside!" Kyoya said. "Maybe that big brother of yours is already waiting for you" he added. Fuuta nodded.

At the other side of the town, Hayato was currently pissed. He cleaned up the troublesome dogs but it took him quite a well. He was worried on Fuuta's well-being.

"Oh! Hayato! What are you doing?" Gokudera appeared pretty calmly.

"Pfffft! You're so dirty!" Lys told him while giggling.

"My Lady!" Hayato said loudly that the two stopped laughing. "your brother is missing!"

Lys and Gokudera becames serious.

"Did I hear it correctly or were you just joking?" Lys confirmed. Hayato gulp.

"I'll translate that as a yes" Lys said in a cold tone. She caught okudera's eyes and they nodded.

"What did you told him if ever you two would separate?" Gokudera asked Hayato.

"Let's meet at the best ramen store in Namimori"

With just that, they all know where to go.

Now back at the Ramen store. Kyoya was getting annoyed due to the late arrival of whomever should pick up this brat. Fuuta was enjoying himself, hving a deep conversation with Kyoya's mother. She was still in her early 40's. Brown hair with beautiful brown eyes unlike Kyoya's cold, emotionless, dark orbs.

"Hey! Kid! What time will they come anyway?" Kyoya asked already pissed.

"hmmmm! Big brother didn't say anything he just told me to wait here no matter how long it is" Fuuta replied then ate the ramen.

"Right?!" Kyoya muttered.

"Excuse me! 3 bowls of ramen please!" a familiar voice ordered. He knew it too well.

"mine is Crab, while the others could have beef and fish" a male voice spoke.

"Hey wait! I want mine to be crab too!" another male voice spoke.

"hey! Gokudera! Don't decide for yourself! I want mine to be crab too!" Kyoya looked to where the direction of the voice is. As usual, he wasn't mistaken. Standing infront of the entrance was Gokudera, Hayato and Lys.

"Wah! Big sister!" Fuuta cried and ran towards her. "What took you so long?"

Lys glared at Kyoya. "What did you do to him?" she asked icily.

"Nothing!" was Kyoya's simple reply.

"Then why is he crying?" Lys studied Fuuta.

"Who knows" was Kyoya's reply.

"Fuuta! Are you hurt somewhere?" asked Gokudera.

"Noo!" Fuuta replied. "I was just happy, I could see big sister again!"

"and the story continues" Hayato muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Gokudera asked him.

"The truth is Fuuta wanted to come to japan to be with his sister…..The Boss didn't agreed at first but after continuous pestering-I mean desperation he finally agreed but on the way here from the airport we were followed by Yakuza's"

"I'm pretty sure they heard about Fuuta's famous status….." Lys was quiet for a while then she sighed.

"I'm hungry!" she pick up the tray and went to where Kyoya is sitted, cause it was the only sit who have vacant sits.

"Mind if we sit here?" she asked politely, unusual for her.

"Do whatever you like" was all Kyoya's reply. Somehow he couldn't express an emotion he isn't used to building up his body. His unaware but is slowly developing whenever Lys is around. Kyoya called it "Symptoms of the aftermath of defeat"

(note: he was defeated by Lys, she almost killed him, in un uncontrolled state but all was in the past)

"Hey! Big sister! You know each other?" Fuuta asked cheerfully. Hayato and Gokudera only looked at each other then took a sit adjacent to Kyoya's side.

"We're rivals!" was Lys reply then took a sip of the ramen bowl. "delicious!" she muttered.

"Are you classmates?" asked Fuuta.

"Hey! Fuuta! Why don't you eat your ramen" Gokudera told him.

"hmph!" was his stubborn response to him, then he faced Lys again and repeated the question.

Lys glanced at Kyoya, reading his expression. But written on his face was an annoyed expression. Lys somehow manae to grin while taking a bite of the crab.

"He's my new subordinate!" after Lys spoke it, Kyoya slammed his hand on the table and took out his weapon and pointed the tip to Lys.

"Kyoya! How dare you point your staff at Lys!" Gokudera took out his dynmites.

Then Fuuta laughed. "oh! You got him before me!" he said.

"I won, he lost! That was all! He have to abide to the condition" Lys took another slurp of the ramen.

"So what was the condition?" everyone was quite as they wait for Lys response but Lys was unperturbed and continued eating. After Lys finished eating, she looked at Kyoya. As usual, he was wearing the emotionless face of his.

"It's a secret!" was Lys response. She stood up and paid for the food.

"How unusual to see Kyoya with lively friends!" Kyoya's mother exclaimed.

"Thank you for the ramen madam! It was delicious as always" Lys commented.

'Such a darling!" Kyoya's mother said, "I'm glad he meet you. I'm hope Kyoya won't be to engrossed in the students welfare any longer though I'm glad he's such a responsible child."

"He?" Lys glanced at Kyoya, He was glaring at her. Lys smiled cutely at him then faced his mother. At that split second Kyoya's heart jump out of place.

"Oh! Don't worry! I'll make sure he gets some break….after all were starting to hang-out. He's such a gentleman although at times hhe becomes kind of rude and harsh"

"Oh! I'll give him a good talk"

"I'm glad about that! After all he's my cute friend" Lys said it in a joking, sarcastic but momentarily sweet voice.

"It scares me when she does that" Gokudera whispered to Hayato.

"Tell me about it" was Hayato's reply.

Gokudera and Hayato finished the ramen. As always it was delicious and Fuuta ate 3 bowls while Lys ate 4.

(Note: *a lady is not only by grace but also by how much food she eats*

This is Lys comeback to that)
