A new chapter again.. ho ho ho ho… Well, I'm going to London this Monday =D and I'll be gone for a week and be back Saturday (ok ok, not an entire week I know, but close!) This means there'll at least be a week before the next chapter… But I bet you appreciate this, I made this chapter only for you guys ^^
I'll be re-reading my story, because even I get annoyed by stupid errors like; He instead of she and me instead of he ^.^; that'll be done when I return, I promise =O
Disclaimer: I do not own PoT or these guys, BUT! Any OC's in this story are mine, so far only Morgan has stood out.
As a request from a reader I'm making an OC's description at the start of the chapters from now on, so that you know how they look, not that long yet, but, maybe there'll be more in time.
_
OC's:
Morgan: Ryoma's bodyguard. Morgan is 28 years old and pretty handsome; Tall (205cm.) and muscular (not overly pumped as Kabaji, but a little more harmonious and slender build), pitch black long hair gathered in a low ponytail behind him, vibrant green eyes and a harmonious face with manly features.
Morgan likes Ryoma, maybe more than professionally acceptable, but he knows he can't have the 13 year old boy and oath to protect him, not only from bodily harm but emotional too and everyone who wants Ryoma's affection will have to go through him!

Outside the bowling alley
Morgan stood right behind Ryoma, scanning the area around them. They came early, the others had to walk or take the bus. Ryoma had his own driver, Morgan, who brought him wherever he needed to go. Somehow he was happy Fuji asked for this, but he was kind of disappointed that the others didn't come.
"Ne~! Echizen!"
Ryoma looked in the direction of the 'noise' said noise was Momoshiro coming biking up the road with a huge grin on his face.
"Momochan-senpai… -san..."
He had to correct himself pretty often, even in his thoughts, he suddenly smirked at Momo who stopped and sat his bike in the holder by the door.
"Che, you are of course aware that I'm actually your upperclassman now, right?"
He lifted his brows in a mocking way with a smile that obviously teased the older boy.
"HMPF!"
Momo grabbed Ryoma and nudged him much to Ryoma's displeasure.
"Momo-chan! Cut it out!"
Momo suddenly lost contact to the ground when someone picked him up and gave him a stern look, catching momo's eyes he nearly turned the now terrified guy to stone.
"ha..? Morgan let him go.. MORGAN he was just kidding, he did that all the time before… before…"
Morgan felt Ryoma's hand on his arm, the only part the short boy could reach.
He let Momo go and looked at the boy.
He placed a hand on Ryoma's head and smiled very un-Morgan-ish. Ryoma was usually the only one who was given this kind of kindness and no way in hell was he apologizing to the spiky haired boy looking confused at this moment.
Ryoma nodded at what Morgan said and looked at Momo again.
"He does that whenever someone makes physical contact with me… Kind of annoying, but what do you expect from Kong Kong?"
Morgan twitched slightly, so he came from Morgan to King Kong again, he was getting used to being called by his name by now and found out that he was called King Kong whenever he annoyed Ryoma, or Ryoma forgot his name, not because he was the big hero protecting the little boy as he thought at first.
Fuji and Tezuka was dropped off by Fuji's older sister and Kaidoh showed up at the same time as Ooishi and Kikumaru. Kikumaru immediately jumped Ryoma, almost causing Ryoma to suffocate but Momo just scowled at Morgan who didn't jump the red headed boy but just smiled slightly at the sight.
"saa, let's go in and find our alleys"
Fuji discretely took Ryoma's arm and pulled him free from Kikumaru's hug and at the same time dragged the boy inside. Morgan knew that it was time for him to get a little breather to now, when these guys were around him in a little bowling alley, nothing could go wrong!
After they found their alleys Ryoma looked up.
"hmm, we're missing Inui-senpai…-san and Takashi-san"
Tezuka smiled inwardly, so Ryoma noticed his absence and still had a hard time not calling them senpai… Cute indeed!
"He's right… senpai-tachi is missing."
Momo looked at the list of the bowling teams.
"Why haven't you put us into teams yet, Fuji-senpai?"
"That's because I thought we could choose our teams today and have a little competition, two on every team and then 2v2!"
Tezuka smiled, knowing that Fuji would just have to lose Ryoma this evening and laid a hand upon Ryoma's shoulder.
"Then I'll team up with Echizen"
Inwardly Tezuka smiled at the look Fuji shot at him and pointed down to the end of the alley.
"Come, Echizen! We'll take the one in the end."
Ryoma just followed Tezuka, who partly lead him by still having a hand on his back. Fuji knew that he'd have to live with it since he had no intention to begin a fight right here and now. Tezuka had told him earlier, before they went here, that he also liked Ryoma, so if he wanted the boy to himself he had to win him before Tezuka did.
"Right, Momo, I'll team up with you then"
Fuji smiled at a rather confused Momo. Inui had showed up unnoticed by everyone besides Morgan, with Takashi by his side.
"Fine, I'll team up with Kaidoh, if that's alright with you Kaidoh.."
Kaidoh jumped and glared at Inui, not that he meant any harm, that's just how he normally looked.
"fsssshh, fine.."
Inui smiled while Kikumaru hugged Ooishi all the way down to the alley.
"we're one short then! Oh no! Taka has no one!"
Ryoma looked up at this and frowned a little, thinking.
"Morgan can team up with Kawamura-san"
Taka looked at Morgan who obviously were about to object.
"then you'd be left unguarded, we can't have that!"
Ryoma cocked a brow.
"You can be my and Tezuka-san's opponents"
Morgan shrugged, accepting and then send Taka a small, professional smile and took his hand, shaking it.
"Nice to meet you, Kawamura-kun, let's do our best then!"
Kawamura nodded happily and the games began.
Fuji and Momo versus Kikumaru and Ooishi
Taka and Morgan versus Ryoma and Tezuka
Inui and Kaidoh versus Horio and Katsu
Inui had a nasty surprise for the losers of the games and Ryoma starred at Morgan who where sprawled on the ground after drinking Inui's juice. He didn't know about this juice and had just drunk it without hesitation. Kikumaru refused to drink the unidentifiable stuff after seeing Ooishi falling to the ground. Horio and Katsu had fainted by the mere thought of drinking it.
Ryoma poked Morgan in the side, feeling strangely woundable without him in a conscious state.
"Che. You could've given us a warning Inui-san! He's no use as a bodyguard when he's passed out on the floor you know?"
Ryoma frowned and took a chair close to Morgan.
"No worries, Echizen-kun! I'll take care of you, ne?"
Fuji hugged Ryoma from behind the chair, making the boy blush, and rested his head on Ryoma's shoulder. He smiled triumphant when he saw Tezuka nearly losing his neutral mask.
"Fuji-senpai… -san… what makes you think you could take Morgan's job?"
Ryoma had dampend his blush after the sudden contact. He usually flustered like that when someone made that kind of intimate contact.. He didn't know why.. Maybe he just wasn't used to it?
"For one I don't pass out from Inui's drink…"
Fuji let go of Ryoma and tilted his head slightly with an amused smile.
"Yeah, okay.. But there's no way I'd be able to hide behind you, and no way you'd be able to fire a gun with precision…"
Ryoma counted on his fingers while talking, dense as usual. The others sweat dropped but Tezuka smiled inwardly at this, thus knowing Ryoma didn't see the affection in Fuji's words, knowing Fuji well, he really would take bullets for the boy, just like himself.
An hour later were they ready to leave for the restaurant, Morgan had woken up and immediately confiscated the remaining juice and threw it out, literally scolding Inui for what happened and pointed out that anyone who wanted Ryoma while he was out could've come and killed them all. Ryoma looked slightly annoyed at Morgan who, after a while, noticed something burn in his back. Morgan turned to see and starred back into furious golden eyes. He hated when he made Ryoma mad, but he was really mad at Inui, what if someone actually had tried something while he was out? Disaster!
Ryoma kept starring till Morgan lifted a brow.
"Come on… King Kong is hungry…"
Morgan pointed at his chest and had talked in a neutral voice; he was still a bit pissed at the adolescent boy with the freaky juice. Ryoma's eyes widened and his mouth curled up in a small smile, trying not to chuckle at this and ended up walking away while pushing the rim of his cap down to hide his smile.
Inui seemed a little off after his scolding and noted that under no circumstances was he NEVER to give Morgan juice again. Ever.
They reached the restaurant and was shown to their table and, to their surprise, saw Hyotei, Yukimura, sanada, Yanagi, Yagyuu, Masahara and Niou sitting at the table next to theirs.
"Konbanwa, what a surprise to see you guys here! How was bowling?"
Ryoma tilted his head with a tired look on his face, not that he was tired of the people at the table, he was just genuinely tired, and he didn't get his nap under a tree today. That just meant his nap had to be twice as long tomorrow.
"konbanwa minna-san"
Ryoma cut Fuji off in a sleepy and rather bored tone before the brunette could talk.
"What are you doing here? Not every day you see old rivals having dinner together…"
"Not every day you're this talkative, Ryoma-kun"
Yukimura smiled brightly.
"Could it be you finally warmed up to us all?"
He added, now with a smile showing some of his white brilliant teeth.
"Probably not, he gets like this when he's sleepy, probably the best time of the day if you want a longer conversation with hi.. itai!"
Ryoma made Morgan shut up with a quick and effective foot slammed over Morgan's toes. But that didn't stop the snickering from the rest of the friends. Ryoma sighed and just took a seat.
"Fine, I'll stop being talkative all together!"
He mumbled while frowning adorably with his lower lip slightly pressed forward to emphasize his displeasure with their teasing.
Kikumaru took the seat beside him and pulled him in a light hug.
"aaaaw, but it's nice to have a conversation with you, we were just teasing you!"
Ryoma yawned in reply making Kikumaru blink a couple of times before making the entire restaurant aware of his presence.
"KAWAIIIII OCHIBI!"
This time the hug became tight, so tight Ryoma slowly turned blue.
"Oi, Eiji! You're strangling Echizen!"
Ooishi jumped to the rescue and tried to free Ryoma from his friends grip, slowly succeeding and taking the seat besides Kikukmaru, the others joined with Fuji promptly taking the open seat to Ryoma's other side, waiting to order their dinner.
Talking broke out between the two groups and before they knew it, their tables had been put together to one big group, also getting their food at the same time.
Ryoma couldn't help but smile when he looked at the people around the table. It felt like it had been ages since last time he had fun and yet it was only a question of months.
Ryoma smiled a little sadden by the thought of this moment that would pass. Wondering if whoever were after him would succeed and if some of his friends would get hurt in the process because they could be killed to get to him. He shuddered lightly and suddenly felt cold. He could be endangering them right now.
He looked up, people looked at him with a worried look.
"You okay, Echizen?"
Ryoma let his gaze flow from person to person, not wanting to imagine the light in them disappear.
"I.. I better go.."
He stood up suddenly and walked towards the door as fast as he could without running. Morgan caught up to him, just as surprised as the rest of the teens Ryoma left at the table.
"Echizen-sama?"
"Not now Morgan.. let's just go…"
Ryoma lowered his gaze to the sidewalk, waiting for Morgan to call the Limo around to them and then dumped himself in the seat with eyes overflowing with tears. Morgan had no idea what was going on, let alone how he made Ryoma stop crying. He hated his tears, he knew he was in some kind of pain but not how to make it better.
"Echizen-sama…?"
Morgan's shoulders slumped and he slowly brushed Ryoma's bangs away from his eyes.
"Please don't cry… When you do, the world seems to cry with you…"
Ryoma sobbed and turned his face towards Morgan before his crying got worse and he pressed himself towards Morgan for comfort.
"o-okaa-san used to say that…."
His voice was all messed up from his crying, but Morgan heard him anyway.
"Then maybe she was right, ne~?"
A small sad smile graces Morgans face as he held Ryoma in a tight but nice hug slowly pulling the boy to his lap so he could cradle him a little, Ryoma cried himself to sleep in Morgans arms on the way home.
*cries with Ryoma* huuuuuhuuuuu ;_; Poor little guy! *pet's Ryoma's head
Ryoma: Please stop that -.-;
Everyone else, exept for Sanada and Tezuka: *hugs Ryoma tighly*
Ryoma: WAAAAH *flaps his arms, trying to get loose* Lemme go lemme go!
._. Hmmm Guy's that ain't helping…
Atobe: You're right *snags Ryoma from the bundle and runs off with him*
Fuji: I think he wanna die a horrible death…
Yukimura: I think you're right…
Ryoma: WTH! What's going on here! Monkey king! Put me down… NOW!
*looks after the bravely fighting Atobe* Hmm, don't kill him, I need him for later chapters… ._. Anyway, Hope you enjoy the chapter.. I think Ryoma got a little OOC here XD But not anyway.. I think he actually would care a great deal about his friends, even though he's an arrogant brat.. and I think that was something his mother could have said to him… Cute though, to think he still misses his mum :3
C ya nex week =D going to London! YAY.
