Fangirls

Raphael parked his bike and slid off his helmet. He was glad Don had given him Andrew's address; otherwise his sense of direction would have been useless. Then again, he could always go back on Brianna's teachings and look for the auras…He sighed, no; somehow he felt that would be a bad idea. He just dug around in his dark red trench coat for the notepad and studied it before getting off his bike.

He set his helmet down and ran a hand through his hair, "This is just a bunch of fun…I forgot to ask Rach for a time…" he sighed and stuffed the notepad in his pocket and stepped up to the apartment building.

A few college girls were walking down the hallway when he came in. Almost immediately the four of them plastered themselves to the walls giggling. "He's hot." One of the girls whispered. "Is he new?"

"Who knows?" The other one shrugged.

"Hot doesn't do him justice though, he's drop dead gorgeous."

"Isn't he?" The other two asked.

"Good fashion sense too," The one that spoke up before commented, "Damn, I wonder if he's single." Immediately the girls looked at each other, wondering which should talk first.

The fourth one rolled her eyes and bounced up to him, "Hey good lookin'! What's your name?"

Raphael had been all but oblivious to them. He had to bit his tongue for a moment, 'Rachel's gonna kill me…' he thought, but mentally smirked. Why not have some fun and try out some flirtation tricks on his own?

He was suddenly really glad he had snuck a peek occasionally while the girls had watched "chick flicks". They had all swooned and sighed at certain things… Most specifically charm and the "gentleman" gestures and – even he had to admit – really good charm.

'Great, I get to play Leo for a day…' Raph shook his head, amused. He pictured Rachel, and smiled softly as he turned to the girls, "I'm Raphael," he nodded respectfully, "Who might you wonderful women be?" He looked each of them over carefully, trying to judge their character.

Almost immediately the girls giggled, "I'm Jessica," The fourth girl said and started pointing at the other three, "That's Alice," She pointed at the first girl, "Irma," She pointed at the second, "And my sister, Kayla."

Jessica was blond and short, but naturally bouncy. Her eyes were a light brown color. Her sister had dirty blond hair and light brown eyes as well. Irma was Hispanic with black hair, black eyes. Alice was redhead, green eyes and naturally tanned. All four them looked like they were either very athletic or did cheerleading.

"We don't see very many gentlemen out on the streets like you. Are you moving in or are you checking it out?" Alice grinned.

"Actually, I'm trying to find a friend's apartment. His name's Andrew…I remember my brother telling me it was Ortega. Andrew Ortega," Raph smiled, "Do you know where his place is? I'd hate to look like a fool wandering aimlessly…" he rubbed the back of his neck, laughing sheepishly.

"Oh my god!" The girls squealed together. "Of course we know him!" Alice said with a large grin.

"He's actually my family's self-appointed doctor," Raph grinned, happy someone knew what he was talking about.

"He's the only hot guy around in this building. Not so hard to miss," Irma smiled.

"He and his friend Marissa I think her name was have really, really good fashion sense even though Marissa's into the Lolita type stuff," Kayla grinned.

"Do you want us to show you where they are or just give you directions?" Jessica asked.

"If you were to show me that would be a really big help," Raphael admitted.

((A/N – a line was forgotten to be put here, sorry))

"Why do you say that?" Raph tilted his head, curious.

The girls just giggled again and Kayla spoke up, "You should know," She giggled, "Wasn't it hard? He's so difficult to approach."

Raph blinked, but knew where they would get that impression. He smiled soothingly, "He's a nice guy, ladies, and you just have to get up the courage to talk to him to figure that out yourself. If he rejects you though, don't take it to heart," he winked and then he opened the door, "It was nice meeting you, Jessica, Kayla, Irma, Alice," he nodded to them and shut the door.

The girls turned to each other and squealed before walking down the hallway laughing and teasing one another.

"Met the college girls already?" Matt asked. She was lying on the couch flipping through channels in a bored manner. Her ears were newly pierced and she seemed to be laid back as she looked over at him, "How many hit on you?"

"All four," Raphael sighed.

"There's more than four. I'm guessing you got hit by the volleyball squad," Matt teased.

"Ah, Volleyball," Raph smiled and nodded, "Yes…um, Jessica, Irma, Kayla, Alice…?"

"Yep, Volleyball squad," Matt nodded, "They call me Marissa…I guess I can fool them pretty well."

"You can fool anyone, Matt and you seem…a bit different. Sort of more hyper than usual…and you're trying to hide it," Raph raised an eyebrow.

Matt opened her mouth and then paused and then shut it, "All I can was last night was freaking fun."

"What happened after I hung up the phone?" Raphael took off his jacket, showing that he had on a pair of black jeans, black boots, and a red sweater over a black shirt. He set it on the coat rack and walked over to the girl, taking a seat on the arm of the chair.

"Umm…" Matt paused again, "Let's say this much. Andy and Bria started having a bit too much fun and me and Rachel high-tailed out of here, hit a few clubs, had a few drinks, had a few contests with the guys…and yes we're seeing how many guys we could hit, and she cheated the bitch, and we……" Matt broke off and then shook her head, "It's obvious what happened next."

Raph narrowed his eyes, "Keep going anyway. I know you…you can't keep it in for long."

Matt watched him for the longest time and then pulled her hair back and pulled up her sleeve on her left arm, "That's what we did."

On her left arm was a red dragon that was from her shoulder to her elbow in a swirl like bracelet. Her left ear was pierced once while on the right was pierced twice.

"So you joined the Aka Ryuu?" Raph blinked in amazement and examined the red dragon a bit closer.

"Yeah," Matt grinned.

"May I be curious enough to ask why?"

"Rae asked," Matt smiled, "Well, Rae asked if it could be official instead of having everyone assume," she corrected, "And I agreed. I know all to well that she was just shy of doing it by her."

Raphael nodded, "So, where is my girl anyway?"

"She went out." Matt sighed bored, "Bria asked her to get some stuff," She paused and then glanced over at the clock, "Dying of embarrassment I bet while she's at it… Half of an hour……" she murmured, "She still doesn't have any sense of direction does she?"

"No, unfortunately not," Raphael had to admit to that one.

He tilted his head, "I hear wining…and I feel Rachel's aura bounding down the hall. She must have seen my bike," He laughed and stood, going to the door.

Matt grinned, "Biggest clue in the universe, your bike. We give her street signs and she misses them."

Raph laughed, "True," he nodded and opened the door in time to catch his girlfriend as she leapt into his arms.

"I thought I sensed you!" Rachel grinned as she hugged him. She sounded like she had a piece of candy in her mouth, so her voice was a bit slurred.

"Yes," Raph smiled and buried his face in her hair, "Mm…even one night away from you was torture."

"Why is it always the good guys that get taken?" Jessica pouted as she watched Raphael hug Rachel.

"You have to admit, that girl could be his type," Kayla shrugged.

"Absolutely no fashion sense and she have to be a one class slut…" Alice whispered.

Rachel rolled her eyes at the insults she was hearing but didn't say a word about them. Water off of a duck's back. "Looks like you gained a few Fangirls," She smiled. She had to admit, the girl that said she looked like a slut had a point. Her shirt was a little revealing and her skirt was pretty short and she was wearing boots with a slightly slick heel. All black and red…

Raphael didn't take it so well, however. He glanced toward the girls, turning his charm into a heated scowl, "What did you say, Alice?" he asked as calmly as he could, he brought Rachel slightly more around him protectively, "If you have something to say, girls, just say them outright."

"Ignore them Raph, I get comments like that all the time." Rachel said as she watched them.

Alice and Irma both snorted and Jessica just frowned. "I wonder why," Alice said sarcastically.

Rachel rolled her eyes, "It's like being back in high school all over again."

Raph frowned, but closed his eyes and obliged to her request. "As you wish, love," he said softly and pulled her inside with him, closing the door.

"Did the volleyball squad attack?" Matt asked as she watched them go back inside. She clicked her tongue and looked at the bag, "Better give those to Bria."

"Yeah," Rachel nodded and left the living room and entered a different room.

"Rachel, you are a life saver!" The relieved cry from Brianna came, "Andy, sweet, out," a wind-chime laugh echoed out to them.

Andrew left the room pulling a shirt over his head, just as Rachel took it upon herself to go through the closet, "I'm so, so glad that me and you are the same size."

"Thanks," Bria laughed more and attempted to make herself decent, "God…I made such a mess…I guess also on my list is a new pair of sheets for Andy-kun," she sighed.

Rachel blinked over at her and then rolled her eyes before tossing an outfit toward her, "Put it on and see if it works." She told her as she pulled out a different outfit from the one she was wearing. She threw off all her clothes and shoes and tried on the outfit and looked at herself at the mirror. It was a tube dress and she looked at herself for a while before throwing the dress off and trying something new. She wanted to look great.
