"All married women are not wives."
Ryuu walked to the student parking lot and approached his Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. His prized glory, he had worked so hard for it. He went in and drove to, well…he really didn't know. He called you-know-who since texting while driving was bad. He waited, then a voice came on, 'cept it was voice mail.
"HELL-O! I'm so not sorry for not picking up the phone. It must be because well, I couldn't care less who the hell you are. If you can pick up a good fight, maybe I'll think about it. Leave a SHORT message after the tone. BEEP!" BEEP the actual phone ended.
Ryuu hung up slightly pissed, how was he supposed to know where she was. SLAM! He slammed into something or someone. "Crap!" he yelled. He got out of the car and ran to the front "Hey, are you okay?" he looked and saw this guy half-dead and bleeding to death.
"Thank you Yuu-kun~." A girly voice called from the sidelines.
Ryuu turned to see a tall female; she looked around the age of 17 or 18, maybe older? She had Aqua Green hair that was to her shoulders and curled at the bottom, her bangs were brought up with chopsticks; kind of like what a geisha will do with her bangs. Her eyes were a pale pink color. She wore a white tank top with a red rose, she also had a black overcoat and black shorts. With knee-high combat boots. She spun a metal baseball bat at the side. She smiled then walked over to Ryuu, kicking the guy on the ground to the sidewalk. Pedestrians stared with a gulp.
"Kiyomi…" Ryuu said lowly as he looked at the girl.
She placed her hands on her hips "Please, just call me Yomi, Yuu-kun," she thought for a moment then placed a finger up "and add –chan~"
"No." Ryuu said going to his car.
Kiyomi made a sad face "How cruel, I'm going to cry now…" a few tear drops formed.
Ryuu glared then saw her sad face. He hated that crying girls was his weakness "Fine!..," Ryuu looked at the crowd of people who were staring, since Ryuu's car was in the middle of the road. "Just get in the car,…Y-Yomi…" he mumbled her name lowly.
Kiyomi just accepted it and hopped in the passengers seat. Ryuu then started to drive off leaving the scene. "Yomi?" he cut out the –chan, finding it completely out of character to do.
"YEEEE-s!" she replied happily.
"Aren't you supposed to be with your husband?" he asked.
Yes, Kiyomi did indeed have a husband. Well, more like a fiancé to her view. Kiyomi despised this, she was brought up from a low-class society. Her father wanted to become richer so he arranged a marriage for her. Only Ryuu knew of Kiyomi's problems. The two had known each other ever since the day Ryuu set out to pick fights with people. She's known as his 'partner', they make a good team. Nothing more than that, as people often assumed. Kiyomi knew Ryuu had a girlfriend, and Ryuu knew Kiyomi had a fiancé and a few other males. They just had each other backs, when times got bad.
"Hmmp! Husband my ass." Kiyomi got a cigarette and lit it up. "He's off in prostitute bars."
Ryuu said nothing prostitute bars? I thought those were illegal "You don't do any better." He stopped at the red light "I mean, you're really pretty you know? Yet you go off into bars too, hooking up with a different guy every night."
"It's not like we do anything bad."
"Still, I'm worried for you…I heard from your mom you dropped out of school."
"I didn't drop out!" She protested "I merely just…stop." She opened the window and breathed out the smoke. "Your lucky Yuu-kun…" she said leaning her head on the window. "You go to school, you have friends, and you must have a successfully love life and school life."
"Friends?" He just laughed "Nah, not much people like me, I don't socialize with others either. Don't start jumping to conclusions."
"Sorry, Sorry." She put out the cig and looked at Ryuu
"……" He just got out of the car and locked it. "Lets go for a walk Kiyomi."
Kiyomi let it slide and smiled "Okay, Yuu-kun."
As they were walking Kiyomi couldn't help but giggle. Ryuu gave her a strange look, never noticing she could be girly at times. "What's funny?"
"I just feel happy, that you said 'I'm really pretty', you know?" she said looking at him.
"…" He sighed
"That's not a cute reaction! You should of blushed and get all embarrassed!"
"That's because to me, you're just a dear friend. Nothing more." He looked at her "Maybe like a sister too."
"Makes sense. I mean I can not imagine me and you together!"
"Your not my type either way." Ryuu replied back bluntly.
Kiyomi twitched in annoyance "Your not either, mister."
"I wouldn't be a good boyfriend anyways." Ryuu said taking out his phone and looking at it, he placed it back, and continued on.
Kiyomi said nothing; she probably thought something must have happened. "It's a nice day, neh?"
"Yeah…" he rubbed his head.
Kiyomi raised her hand to touch Ryuu's head "Does it still hurt? From last night?" she made a concerned look. Ryuu didn't reply, he remembered what has happened. It was right after Naoto had ran off….
Ryuu just got out of the car and went to meet up with Kiyomi in the alleyway. They walked together, when a bunch of gangsters came up to them. They said they had a bone to pick with him. Of course Ryuu couldn't care to remember people he beat up. So then they started to fight. Ryuu and Kiyomi was a good pair against them. Kiyomi though, got caught by two of them and was about to receive a hit from a baseball bat. Ryuu then ran over and took the hit instead. After a short while, the gangsters were defeated.
"I'm sorr-"
"You don't need to apologize. I did it on my own will." Ryuu said lightly pushing her hand off him. He knew he was being distant to her.
"…Ryuu." Kiyomi grabbed his hand "If you keep acting like this, and don't tell anyone about how you feel…no ones going to understand and no ones going to help you."
Ryuu looked at her, how was he supposed to tell people? He was going to die soon, he wasn't having a good life, and everything was going downhill. He knew he didn't like to keep things to himself. But just this once, he didn't want to tell anyone anything. "It's fine." He told her patting her head "just act normal, be happy, and smile." He gave her a small smile, it was the least he could do for making her feel bad. "That's enough for me. I don't need apologies or anything." He walked on "You can hit me, and everything…I don't care. As long as you don't cry because of me." He kicked a rock into the pond. "Well, I'll see you later Kiyomi." He waved lightly at her then walked away.
Kiyomi said nothing, she gripped her hands and smiled "bye."
