Chapter 5

Ranzen didn't know why he was going back to the kendo club, okay maybe he did, but deep down, he knew he had to do this. The day had ended gracefully but his mental nagging forced him to come to the place he had hoped not to return.

Once in the courtyard, he spotted an all too familiar person. Suddenly changing his mind, he was about to turn away but he had already caught his senpai's attention. There was a heavy silence.

Mori stared at Ranzen, his mind racing. 'Why would he come back... he probably wants to join the club...maybe he just likes swords...' his thoughts were interrupted and shaken up by Ranzen's words.

"I've been wanting to speak to you since I first layed eyes on you...Mori-senpai." a blush graced his features.

Shocked. That was the only word that could describe Mori at the moment. Did he hear that right? Unusual thoughts started playing in his mind. Was the first year trying to say what he hoped he was trying to say? Did he even know what he was hoping he'd say? These two questons left him utterly confused.

"I hope you don't think badly of me after this. I just didn't think I could go on seeing you everyday and not saying a word about this." he came up to him and stared up into Mori's eyes.

"Even before we met, I've been watching you and now that I'm near you, I can't let this chance slip away...Watching you from afar isn't enough any more."

Mori stared down at Ranzen who he could tell was completely serious. Unsure of what to say, he laid a hand on his shoulder.

"I hope that I haven't upset you, senpai."

"No, of course not, I understand and I want you to know that I feel the same way."

For the first time, Ranzen smiled. "I'm glad that you accept me."

It was now Mori's turn to blush. This small meeting had turned into something that he really wasn't expecting but was more than happy to accept. Jumping into a relationship so soon seemed odd but the only way to know if it would work is to try it out.

"Senpai, shall we get started?" Ranzen asked, his fingers began to slowly work his jacket open.

"Get started?"

"Yeah, I think now's the perfect time. We're all alone and-" he loosened his tie. "I can't wait any longer after finding out that you want this too." he undid the first two buttons of his shirt, revealing a black tee-shirt underneath.

This little 'show' was a little too much to bear. Mori could feel himself getting hard. "H-Here?" he forced himself to ask through clenched teeth. "Is there someplace else you'd rather do this?" Ranzen removed the band holding back his hair and readjusted it so that his hair was in a high ponytail.

"Wouldn't you rather be more discreet about this?"

"What's there to hide? It's just a fight."

"What?"

Ranzen removed his jacket revealing the blade strapped to his side. Suddenly, everything made perfect sense. This whole time, Ranzen was talking about his desire to challenge him. His heart sank.

"Senpai?"

"Give me a minute." he said walking away.

In a few minutes, Mori came back composed and with his own blade. He had no questions. Everyone knew he was the national kendo champion so the younger boy must know what he was doing. Ranzen stood there, his sword drawn. "Shall we begin?" Mori took on a waiting stance, Ranzen did the same.

'From what I can tell, he won't start this, so I will!' Ranzen charged at Mori, his blade slanted, crossing over his torso. Never before had Mori seen someone bear a sword like that. He had to admit though, the small boy was fast. In a matter of seconds, Ranzen was in front of him, his blade swiftly gliding to the right. Mori's blade blocked the strike but the moment he did so, Ranzen spun clockwise, halted behind him and thrust out his sword. Mori sharply turned and the blades collided. It was apparent that Ranzen was not to be taken lightly.

Mori couldn't help but stare into the face that remained as calm as his, even so, those emerald eyes betrayed their master because Mori could clearly see the joy they held.

He suddenly felt the force behind the opposing blade give way. Ranzen's knees bent slightly as he allowed Mori's blade to claim dominence. Before his knee could come too close to the ground, he leaned over and rotated clockwise while coming to his feet. Mori counterspun to block the strike but his move proved to be predetermined because Ranzen unexpectedly revolved in the same direction and appeared on his right. In a final clash of blades, the sword dance ended. Both swordsmen stood side by side, facing opposite directions, their blades mere inches from one another's throats.

Ranzen sheathed his blade. "Thanks, that was fun. I promise not to bother you again."

"Is that all you wanted?"

"Just about." Ranzen could tell that his answer struck a chord. "Ano, is there something that you wanted to do with me?"

'Besides ravish you in the courtyard?' he thought to himself. "No."

"Anyway, I owe you big time for taking up your time, so if there's ever anything I can do for you, just let me know." he said walking over to his stuff.

Mori said nothing as Ranzen fixed his clothes. Ranzen, in return, watched Mori's unmoving form from the corner of his eye. He seemed pretty down about something. Sighing, and ready to go, he went over to where Mori stood to say goodbye.

"Senpai, see you on Monday."

"If there's anything you can do for me?" Mori asked gazing up.

"Anything."

Mori looked down at Ranzen as if contemplating something.

"Do you have a favor to ask?"

Mori nodded and with lightning speed, he grabbed the smaller boy by the collar, leaned down, and pulled him into a kiss. Fear kept the kiss from ending but eventually it did. "Is that all you wanted, senpai?" there was nothing but neutrality in Ranzen's voice. Mori wasn't sure whether he was relieved or disappointed. Mori nodded stiffly. "Well then, I better be going."

"What kept you?" Ame asked.

"I just had something to deal with."

"Taka-chan, I presume?"

"Maybe."

"You tied?" he asked with an amused smile.

"How'd you know?"

"What more can I expect from the national kendo champions of Japan and America?"

Well, how was that to break the ice? If you're wondering how Ranzen feels, you'll soon find out. Keep an eye out for the next chapter. Please review.
