A pair of muscular arms grabbed her waist and turned her around and pulled her into an embrace.

Ran blushed when she realized she was this close to him.

"This is an apology for letting you worry." She said, without any warning whatsoever she leaned forward a planted a kiss on his cheeks.

Blood ran up to both their cheeks almost immediately.

She ran out of the bedroom door shouting for him to hurry up, leaving a confused but happy, brightly flushed Shinichi in a daze.

-Love is dangerous- Taeyang

"Hurry up shinichi!" Ran whined whilst waiting for shinichi. Both had just reached the rations unit panting heavily. They push open the door to get inside only to see…..

"Ran-san! Are you ok?" a figure shouted from across the dining hall. Ran looked confused at first but as the figure came nearer her eyes lit up in realization.

"AH! Eisuke kun! You're back" The figure ran out to embrace her but instead it tripped on a loose tile and fell onto the floor.

"Eisuke kun daijobu?" she asked worriedly, holding her hand out for him. Eisuke gratefully took her hand and stood up apparently embarrassed at the whole fiasco. The soldiers in the room were almost growling when Eisuke observed her from head to toe to check for any wounds. Ran blushed obviously not used to this kind of attention. Behind her shinichi stepped forward and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you Eisuke I am Kudo shinichi."

Eisuke cheerful face suddenly flashed anger before turning back to his smile. "Nice to meet you Kudo kun, I am Hondou Eisuke. Nice to meet you." Eisuke gripped shinichi's hand tightly as he shook it.

"Those intense glares must have come from him last night." Shinichi deduced as he withdrew his hands and stuffed them into his pockets. He was about to talk to Ran when a loud voice entered his ears; everyone's ears for that matter.

"RAN HOW ARE YOU?" a girl with light brown hair appeared behind the ration counter.

"Sonoko!" Ran said surprised. Sonoko jumped over the counter and gave Ran a bone-crushing hug, squeezing the air out of her. "Sonoko-can-t-br-eathe" ran drew in a deep breathe when sonoko let her go to replenish all her lost oxygen.

SOME EXPLAINING LATER

"So Kudo kun saved your life eh? You have my thanks Kudo Shinichi!" Sonoko screamed before turning back to the counter. "Now who wants some food?"

Sonoko passed out the food, shinichi quickly ate his and told Ran he would be heading back to her house first. He inwardly smirked when he saw Eisuke wince at the words "her house". Eisuke shot a murderous glare at the leaving Kudo Shinichi who in turn gave Eisuke his trade mark grin. "All's fair in love and war buddy." Shinichi thought as he headed back to the house.

AT THE HOUSE

In the bedroom, the lonely soldier sighed loudly before looking ou the window staring at the dark clouds beginning to obstruct the moon. He looked down and saw Ran. "Thank goodness she's cannot see me." He thought as he observed her standing near the rations hall, briefing soldiers about tomorrow. Shinichi couldn't help but gaze dreamily at her. His dreamy face turned into a snarl when he saw the the soldiers staring at her, their eyes wandering to her chest level. His fist tightened as he growled loudly. His gaze wondered back to the moon, and eventually getting lost in it because of its enchanting gaze.

Ran walked up the steps to her bedroom as she grumbled about the soldiers' slowness and such. Shinichi was cut off from his gaze and heard her practically stomping up the steps. As he went to greet her, he caught a whiff of his clothes before reeling back in disgust. "Eeww.." he thought "no way is she going to smell me like this." He walked over to the cupboard and found a singlet and boxers. "Well it is better than this outfit now." He jokingly thought as he walked towards the bathroom for a shower.

Ran sighed as she walked up the stairs. "Shinichi?" she called out when she reached the bedroom. "Strange he's not here." She just shrugged and went straight to the bathroom. In the bathroom Ran opened the tap and splashed herself with water. She half moaned as the cool liquid touched her face. Suddenly water had become the greatest luxury to her body. When she wanted to leave the bathroom she tripped over something. "Owww" she looked again only to see that she had tripped on some male clothes."Ehh male clothes?"

The door to the shower opened and Shinichi stepped out with a towel bound tightly on his waist. Ran stared at him wide eyed. "Oh my god he looks so sexy!" ran's mind screamed as she told it to hush up. She silently crept to the door and raced towards the bedroom. "Eh? What the hell was that?" shinichi thought as he heard a sound. "Oh well…" he shrugged and redressed himself.

When he went to the bedroom, he saw Ran already in bed dressed in pj's and all. Shinichi smiled as he headed to his bed. He got in and snuggled comfortably under the blanket. As he was drifting off to sleep a flash of lighting plus the rumble of thunder jolted him away. He grumbled and pulled the blankets over his head. When sleep was almost claiming him once more, he heard a feminine voice call his name. He sat upright and came face to face with Ran. "What's wrong ran?" shinichi asked as another lighting flash across the dark sky; Ran broke out in shivers. Shinichi clearly had gotten the silent message. He scooted to oneside of the bed and patted the empty space beside him motioning for her to join him. Ran blushed when he did this but nevertheless she slipped into the empty spot beside him.

Shinichi turned the other way so as not to make her uncomfortable, a loud roar of thunder made Ran break out in shivers again. Shinichi had quite enough of this. He turned to face her and pulled her nearer to him. She tried to pull away rather unsuccessfully. He started to stroke her back in a slow rhythm hoping to calm her down. Shinichi realized that ran had stopped struggling and was slowly relaxing under his stroking. Ran could not help but let out a purr. Shinichi chuckled softly; she turns her body around and comes face to face with shinichi. Their gazes became entwined and both were lost in each azure other's eyes. Their faces eventually went closer to each other and in a split second their lips met in a sweet kiss.

When they released for oxygen, their faces had turned slightly red. Ran snuggles closer to shinichi; hugging his barely clad but muscular torso while shinichi in turn drops his arm around her waist. Sleep claimed them, but not before a large smile formed on their faces.
