IV- Hopeless

Ran stared at the fine katana he held in his hands; blade sharp enough to slice a leaf in halves, black handle carefully polished, and overall, light as a feather. It was a work of art.

"You don't like it" said Brad, looking somewhat disappointed.

"I do! It's magnificent" and he wasn't lying. The katana he now possessed was one of the ten swords the greatest sword-maker of Japan had ever made; incredibly hard to find, and of course, worth a fortune. Crawford surely went to extraordinary lengths to acquire it, yet it was not exactly what Ran expected he would receive from his "significant other" on the day of their anniversary.

"Should I have bought you tickets to the opera, a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers instead?" Crawford asked sarcastically and, to be honest, quite pissed.

"What would you have thought if I had bought you a gun made out of white gold?"

"That you want me to think of you every time I shoot someone" Crawford replied as if that was the most obvious answer. Ran shook his head; he might have the looks and the brains, but Crawford was certainly not the romantic type.


An update!! yay!! I wanted to post this a while ago. I wanted to add this idea came from watching Kill Bill Vol 1 way too many times.
