Even though I know that Kaito is a sweet guy…seeing him with gang women really makes me jealous. It's been five days since our little spa day and I can't seem to shake the feeling that something has changed with him. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I just can't seem to shake that feeling. If it's with a woman, I'm gonna break her neck like a tooth pick.

So when Kaito invited me to come by the Ramen shop after school, I was all too happy to go. Kaito hadn't really spoken to me much over the past few days so having him invite me over so suddenly made me extremely curious what he's up to. Kaito definitely isn't an open book. Reading him is like me reading Russian. I don't understand it and it makes me really confused. I hope that I might be able to open him up a little.

So when Poiyo dropped me off at the Ramen shop, I practically ran in. I barely remembered to say good bye to him. It was so dark outside so…it's not like I really had a reason to trust the streets. When I walked in, I immediately spotted Kaito. He was sitting at the bar eating miso. His gang was sitting around him at tables and at the bar. I nearly fainted. What are they doing here? That's a surprise. I swallowed then walked through the door.

"Miku my dear. You're back again. I was wondering when you'd be around." Uncle said.

I smiled. "Uncle. It's good to see you again. The miso was simply amazing. I hope I will get a chance to eat another bowl while I'm here. Kaito insisted I come by. I'm not sure what he has planned for me but I hope it involves miso."

"That's my girl. I knew there was something I liked about you." Uncle smiled. "Come on in. Kaito's at the bar."

"Thank you very much Uncle." I nervously strolled over to the bar. The gang immediately went on guard. I hesitantly tapped Kaito on the shoulder. He didn't do anything at first but then he set down his chopsticks and looked at me.

"Oh Miku. Took you long enough." Kaito grabbed my hand and pulled me into a kiss. Even though I was surrounded by people who wanted to kill me, I couldn't help but smile. Even when Kaito's so cold, he always makes me smile. "Come, sit." Kaito slammed his hand on the table. "Get the lady a bowl of miso."

"Miku! Your back. I was wondering when you'd come back around." Mathieu said. He strolled over to the order window. "One Miso!"

"So this is the girl." A guy with short blond hair sat down next to me at the bar. "Isn't she a little innocent?"

"Shut up. You don't know anything." Kaito said impassively. He went back to eating.

"Innocent my ass!" I slammed my hands on the bar. "Call me innocent one more time! I dare you!"

The blond guy chuckled. "Second thought, I like her. Got some sass in ya don't ya?"

"It is one of my most redeeming qualities." I crossed my arms. "Innocent my ass."

"Len, leave her alone." Kaito glared at him. "I don't need you trying to scare her off."

"Oh please. I won't run away so quickly." I laid my head on his shoulder. "I'm not so easily scared off."

Kaito looked away which I knew meant he was blushing like an idiot. He's so adorable when he does that. It lets me know that he isn't a soulless gangster. Looking at him now…I really feel truly loved. Even though he never really says anything…and he rarely ever tries to do anything remotely romantic…the little things he does….shows much he really cares for me. It's really sweet.

"Mathieu! Where's my ladies Miso?" Kaito barked at Mathieu. He still looked a little flustered. I love when he's all flustered like that. It's just so cute.

"Aw look at Kaito." Luka pinched his cheek. "You've turned into a love struck teen haven't you?"

"Shut up Luka" He swatted her hand away and went back to ever so coolly eating his miso.

"Don't bother him." I leaned behind him and whispered. "Even if it's true." Luka laughed.

"What's so damn funny?" Kaito slammed his chop sticks on the counter.

"Don't worry about it." I kissed his cheek. "You just eat your miso like a big boy." I gently patted his cheek then went back to casually sitting at the bar.

"Yo blue hair. So tell me about that hot chick you hang out with. A sexy broad like that has got to have some kind of boy friend right?" Len asked as he casually leaned against the bar.

"Who? Luka?" I asked.

"In your dreams dumb ass." Luka snapped.

"Girl you must be shitting me. I'm talkin' bout that blond broad. The one that's always freaking out." Len explained.

"Rin?" my eye brows rose. "You want to know about Rin?"

"That's her name." Len chuckled. "That sexy board been runnin' through my mind all day man. I got to have dat babe. Who's here boyfriend? I need to know who I'm gonna whack."

"Rin doesn't have a boyfriend. Rin's as spastic as a baby on an extreme sugar high. Most guys can't handle someone like that. You think an ordinary guy can handle Rin?" I eyed him curiously. "You think you can handle it?" I looked him over. "They say a man who talks big doesn't have much going for him down stairs if you catch my drift."

The rest of the gang was shocked. They were yelling out stuff like, "Shorties calling you out" and "Girls got a mouth on her" and "She's calling you out!"

"What you talkin' bout girl?" Len nodded with a player smile on his face. "Ya tryin' to say ya want a piece of dis?" Leaned closer. "If ya catch my drift."

Kaito's ears perked up. He was eyeing me with the craziest nervous look I've ever seen. I laughed. "In your dreams Len." I leaned closer. "And my needs are happily satisfied as it is." I glanced at Kaito over my shoulder.

Len whistled. "You got a mouth on ya. I like that. You alright with me girl." Len nodded at towards me. "So that sexy broa – I mean Rin. That girl up for the takin'?"

"Yes she's up for the taking." I chuckled. "But I suggest you work on talking correctly. I don't think Rin's a fan of gangs and your gangster talks gonna cut your chances with her in half."

"I work with half baby." Len said casually.

I smiled hesitantly. "That was a nice way of saying you don't have chance." I patted his shoulder. "And a little less black might help her forget you talk like a 6 year old from the hood."

Len groaned. "Dat broads gonna make me work for her eh?" Len shrugged. "Good thing I like a challenge." Len but on his player smile again. "I'm gonna have dat honey in my bedroom in no time." The guys cheered him on.

"Start with proper English." I interrupted.

"What do ya mean with dis propa English?" Len asked.

"What do you mean with this proper English, is how you should have said this? Add the G back onto your verbs and quit putting D's on that and this. It makes you sound like an illiterate." I pointed out.

"What does dat mean?" Len demanded.

"It means you're an idiot now talk like a normal person."

"What do ya want me ta say?"

"In a complete sentence, what do you like to eat?"

"I like ta eat Ramen, yo"

"I like to eat Ramen." I corrected.

"Ya too?"

"No, I corrected you. That is how you should have said it."

"Oh, I got you."

"I got it." I corrected.

"Fine whatever." He crossed his arms and looked away. "Harder then I thought…maybe yous can help me with dat propa English you been talkin' bout."

"Yeah ok." I smiled. "My mom use to talk like that so I have a sure fire method for teaching you proper English."

"What kind a method you talkin' bout?" Len asked. I grabbed a pair of chop sticks and hit him with it. "What the hell girl?"

I hit him again. "Properly!"

"What you –"I hit him again. "Can't ya just –"I hit him again. "Fine." He let out a long sigh. "What kind of method are you talking about? Dat right?"

I hit him again. "You ruined it!" I groaned. "Just talk like that around Rin and you'll have her for sure."

"Cool." Len nodded at me with respect.

Suddenly Kaito tugged my arm sending me into his lap. My eyes widened when he kissed me. I didn't object at all though. I slowly eased into him. If there's anything Kaito's good at, it's kissing. When he decided we were done, he set me back upright in my chair.

"Ok." I said confusingly. The guys whistled.

"Don't make me that damn nervous anymore." Kaito murmured to me.

I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me. "Don't be such a dumb ass." I smiled. "Do you not know me at all?"

"What do you mean?" Kaito asked. He was looking my face over furiously but I wasn't giving away any information.

"You think I'd leave you for some gangster douche bag?" I chuckled. "I thought you knew me better." I clutched his shirt in my free hand. "What idiot is better then the idiot I've already got?" Kaito still looked confused. I rolled my eyes. "Let me put this into the simplest terms I can put it into." I got close to his ear. "I love you…so don't you worry about anyone else. There's no one that I want more then you…Kaito." I kissed his cheek as my Miso arrived. I quickly went back to sitting correctly at the bar. "Miso! Yes!" I placed my hands together. "Thank you for the food!" I grabbed my chopsticks and began to eat my Miso.

Kaito was completely frozen. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or he's just blanking like the idiot that he is. I peeked at him as I placed a noodle in my mouth. He still looked like he was blanking. He's so adorable.

"Miku…I think you broke him." Luka waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Earth to Kaito?" Luka sighed. "Yo Kaito, Akaito took your lucky pants again."

"What?" Kaito looked around with confusion. After the confusion passed, a small smile slid onto his face. He went back to eating his Miso but this time a smile couldn't help but peek out.

Suddenly my stole was yanked back. Luckily, my Miso didn't spill. The bowl just shook a little. I looked up. It was Akaito. He looked conflicted. That's a new look on him. I've never seen him with any other expression but anger.

"Can I help you?" I asked confusingly.

Akaito looked away but held his hand out to me. "Welcome to…to the family…pig tails."

My eye brows rose. Akaito's being nice. Well, might as well take advantage of it. "What kind of welcome is that?" I grabbed his hand and pulled him into a hug.

"What the hell are you doing?" Akaito pushed at my hands but I wouldn't budge.

"Family hugs." I pointed out. I happily held on.

"Miku, I think you're killing him on the inside." Kaito said casually.

"Oh please. He'll thank me for it later." I smiled up at him. "Everyone needs a hug sometimes and if anyone really needs a hug, it's you Akaito."

Akaito looked away and blushed just like Kaito does. They totally are twins. "Just get off me."

I smiled and let go. "You know I'm not gonna stop giving you hugs until you hug me back." I pointed out.

Akaito put on a small smile. "Bring it on blue hair. I'm gonna kick your ass every time you do."

"I look forwards to it." I scooted my chair back up to the bar. "You couldn't kick my ass even if I was trapped under a car." The gang laughed and made a bunch of comments about Akaito not being a man and me calling him out.

"Whatever girl. You ain't Super man alright."

"Neither are you." I slurped down a noodle. "Even better then last time. Yum."

"You gonna let your whore talk to me like that?" Akaito demanded. Kaito slapped his chopsticks on the table.

"Who are you calling a whore?!" I snapped. I was about to get up but Kaito pushed me back down. I was gonna object but I remembered what Poiyo said. I'll let Kaito handle this one. He needs to feel macho more then I do.

"Take it back." Kaito snapped.

"Oh so your angry now. I haven't seen you angry in a days. Bout time you came back around bro." Akaito said.

"I said take it back. Don't make me ask again." I could see the anger building inside Kaito like a tub full of water about to over flow.

"Why do you give a damn? She's just a stupid little girl." Akaito looked me over. "Not even worth a one night fling."

Kaito punched him right in the face. He punched him so hard it sent Akaito into the nearest table knocking it over along with him. Everyone was in so much shock; they didn't know what to say. The first person to move was Luka.

"Akaito!" she ran right to him and helped elevate his head. "Damn it Kaito! You could have given him a concussion!" Luka pushed some hair out of Akaito's face. "Are you ok?"

Akaito swatted her hand away and slowly stood. "I'm fine. I don't need your help." Luka sighed and stood. "That's how it's gonna be huh Kaito? Hoes before bros now?"

"Don't make me punch you again. Take it back." Kaito cracked his knuckles.

"You're done. Your out." Akaito snapped.

"Fine." Kaito removed his jacket and threw it at Akaito. "Get out. You're not welcome here."

"Fine." Akaito and the rest of the gang left without another word.

Luka gave me a sad look. "Sorry pig tails." She walked out of the Ramen shop.

I grabbed the sleeve of his t-shirt. "Kaito?"

Kaito was impassive and he didn't look at me. "What?"

I sniffled. "I'm sorry." Kaito looked down at me now with concern. "I got you kicked out of your gang. I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't have come today." A tear slid down my face.

Kaito hugged me tight. "Don't worry about me…ok…just stop crying…I can't stand seeing you cry…"

I shut my eyes and slid my arms around him. "I'm sorry Kaito." I sniffled. "Sorry." I couldn't help it but the tears just wouldn't stop.

"Miku…please just stop crying…my heart…it hurts so please just stop crying…"

I shook my head. "How can I? I'm ruining your life! I know I am! Don't you lie to me!" I sobbed.

Kaito titled my chin up. "You don't know what you're talking about Miku. I…I…" he lowered his voice. "I love you ok…so just stop crying…I don't know how to handle this." He looked away. My heart stopped just for a second. Did he just say…I think he did…he loves me. Oh my–when did he decide this? He briefly glanced at me then went back to not looking at me. "Just stop crying ok?"

I sniffled. "Ok."

Kaito pushed me in the direction of his apartment. "We can't do this here." He led me into the kitchen and up the stairs. I wonder what Akaito's thinking right now. He had to kick his own twin brother out of his gang. I can only imagine how both of them feel right now. I know Kaito's just putting on a front. I know he's upset. He just won't show me because he knows I'll get even more upset then I am now.

Kaito led me inside and pushed me down on the couch next to him. "Quit worry about me. I'm fine. I'm always fine. So stop crying ok." He wiped a tear from my cheek with his finger. "As long as you're with me, I'll be fine ok?" I sniffled and nodded. "Tears don't suit you at all." I wiped off my face. "I like your smile better."

"Kaito." I whispered as I hugged my legs to my chest.

"Yes?"

"Thank you…for standing up for me." I looked down at my knees. "Poiyo says that its good to let others take care of me instead of me taking care of myself…so thank you for taking care of me…I don't get taken care of often so thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. I'm your boyfriend. It's my job to take care of my lady." He slid an arm around me and pulled me closer. "If I didn't, what kind of a man would I be?"

I wiped my sleeve across my eyes. "Did you really mean what you said?"

"Yeah. I'll always take care of you." Kaito answered.

"No, I mean…do you really love me?" I looked up at him hopefully.

Kaito laced his fingers with mine. "Of course I do." He didn't even look away this time. Usually when he's trying to be romantic or sweet he looks away and tries to hide it but this time…he told me something romantic and didn't look away. Not for a second…but he did blush like crazy.

"I think this is the first time you've actually tried to be romantic." I sniffled.

Kaito's eyes drifted away. "Yeah well…I'm not exactly the romantic type. You know that. You've seen what were like. Us gangsters. Harsh. Cold. Distant."

"But that's not all you are." I laid my hand against his cheek. "Kind. Caring. Loving." I smiled. "That's all I see in you, Kaito."

Kaito blushed again. "I don't think so."

"I think so." I laid my head on his shoulder and snuggled against him. "I believe that your better then your think you are."

Kaito looked away once again. "Yeah well I don't like showing emotion."

"Yeah I noticed." I smiled. "But I can read you like an open book so I don't worry about that too much."

"You probably deserve someone as energetic as you are." Kaito looked impassive again. He's such an idiot.

I kissed him. "All I need is right here. You have no idea what I deserve. I don't give a damn what I deserve. I want you so quit trying to talk me out of it." I grabbed the collar of his shirt. "I love you Kaito. Don't you forget that." I kissed him again and boy was this a good kiss. Honestly, we really don't kiss that much. If I were to count, I wouldn't say more then 6 times…but this kiss…this knocked the socks off of every one before it. I have always wondered what love felt like but now I really don't have to wonder. This is love. I know it is. I know this is love so…I do not regret this night. Not for a second.

I woke up with my head on Kaito's bare chest. Man is he muscular. I definitely enjoyed those muscles last night. His strength is definitely one of the sexiest things about him. He was still sleeping. It was definitely a long night. When I looked at the clock, it was only 9 am. We were up until at least 3 so I wouldn't expect him to be up yet.

So instead of moving about, I just lied there. Being in his arms is nice. Who knew a night that went that bad would end so wonderfully and yes, my night was very wonderful. I think Rin's gonna kill me for this but I don't regret it for a second. The way Kaito touched me…he was gentle…careful…loving. Oh so very loving. People always tell me that sex is always dirty but I don't feel dirty. It didn't feel dirty last night. Not for a second. I just felt loved. Every touch. Every kiss. Love. Nothing else. I believe that's what it's supposed to be like right? When you're with the one you love?

Kaito yawned. "Morning already?"

I sighed. "The morning couldn't have come faster."

"Sun go back down." Kaito gave me a sweet kiss. "That was fantastic."

"Your gonna ruin it by talking about it." I snuggled against him. "But I agree."

Kaito slid his arms around me. "Sleep well?"

"I suppose." I yawned. "I'm still tired." I snuggled against him. "I think I'm gonna stay a bit longer."

"Fine but I'm getting food." He started to get up but I didn't let go.

"Oh no you don't." I kissed his neck playfully. "Your not gonna leave your loving girlfriend alone in your bed are you?"

"Yes I am." He sat up.

I groaned and pulled the blankets up over my shoulders. "Fine but I want food too. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

"Alright." Kaito looked around the room. "Where did my boxer shorts go?"

I blushed and picked them up off the lamp shade. "Found them."

Kaito chuckled. "Couldn't get them off fast enough could you?"

I groaned and buried my face in one of his pillows. "Don't remind me that my innocence is gone. Taken away by a ex-gangster."

Kaito was suddenly over me with his arms wrapped around me. "Oh please. You loved it." He kissed my neck in the most seductive way. "What are you hungry for?"

"Pancakes." I mumbled into the pillow.

Kaito kissed my neck then got up. "You panties are hanging on my dresser." He left the room.

Oh come on. Can this get any more embarrassing…but sadly it did. My bra was stuck on the edge of a picture frame. Ok now I feel dirty. As I slid on my clothes, I couldn't help but feel dirtier and dirtier. Kaito's an animal. How did my skirt get under his bed? Geez. I feel like a whore. Maybe Akaito was right.

When I finally got dressed, I joined Kaito in the kitchen. There is nothing sexier then a guy in boxer shorts cooking. Especially when there muscles are that delicious. I sat down at the table. "Did everyone ever tell you that your muscles are delicious?"

Kaito chuckled. "No. That is one thing I've never heard." Kaito glanced at me. "I'm not exactly sure what that means."

I stood and walked over to him. "It means your muscles are sexy." I leaned against the counter.

"No wonder girls stare at me all the time in the gym." Kaito flipped a pancake in the pan on the stove.

"Remind me to come to the gym with you so I can kill every girl that looks at you." I walked over to the fridge. "My mom says, it's better to knock out all the competition when you're in love." I grabbed a coke from the fridge. "No orange juice? Really?"

"Gangsters don't drink orange juice Miku." Kaito pointed out as if I was an idiot.

I sighed. "I'm getting you some orange juice when I come over next time."

"Why?" Kaito asked.

"Next time I spend the night, I want to drink orange juice in the morning." I popped the tab on my coke.

"Next time?" Kaito looked at me flirtatiously. "You already want more of me? But I'm not surprised. I am pretty good in the sac."

"Your ok." I waved him. "And calling your bed the sac makes everything in your bed sound dirty."

"If I'm so bad then why do you want to spend the night again?"

I glared at him. "Spending the night doesn't mean sex Kaito!" I crossed my arms. "I spent the night at Kiyoteru's house two nights ago and we didn't have sex so ha."

"What?" that got his attention.

"You didn't know that? Rin and I spent the night there because we were working on making Kiyoteru less of a smart ass." I explained.

"You didn't sleep in his bed did you?" Kaito asked.

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious. That guy could have pulled some stuff while you were sleeping."

"First of all, I tend to punch people in the face when they touch me for to long while I sleep and second of all, Rin and I slept in his guest room."

"Did you sleep in the same bed as Rin?" he asked.

"Why does that matter?"

"I don't know. I just want the full picture."

"You think that's hot don't you?"

"No…" Kaito turned and went back to making pancakes.

"No we didn't. Kiyoteru has two beds in his guest room." I crossed my arms. "And I saw those magazines under your bed. If there not gone when I come back tomorrow, I'm burning them."

"Why were you under my bed?"

"You put my skirt under there which I still don't get. How did you get it under there?"

Kaito shrugged. "When you're getting everything off fast, where it gets to isn't important? You know that."

I groaned and hid my face. "I'm such a whore now!"

"Don't be a prude. You can only be a whore if you sleep with more then one guy." Kaito glanced at me. "Don't get any ideas."

"Do I look like I'm gonna be having sex in the next 24 hours? Beside's, it's not like every guy wants to go for a b cup pig tailed high school student."

"I like your small boobs." Kaito flipped a pancake.

"That does not help the situation Kaito."

"I thought girls like complements."

"Not ones on our boobs." I hugged my chest.

Kaito turned and pulled me to him. "Don't doubt yourself so much. You're more beautiful then any girl out there." He gave me a quick kiss. "Love you."

"Love you too." I glanced at the pancakes that sat on a plate. "You know I'm gonna eat all those right?"

"I figured. That's why I liked them all. Those are mine."

"I tasted your spit all night long. Doesn't bother me." I grabbed the plate. "You snooze you lose." I gave him a kiss then sat down at the table.

His arms slid around me from behind. "Miku?"

"Hm?"

"Promise me something."

He sounded serious. I suppose this is a big deal to him. "What is it?"

"Promise me…promise me you won't leave me." Kaito's arms tightened. "I guess I'm worrying over nothing but…in the past…all the women in my life have left me…" his head dropped on my shoulder. "And I don't want to lose you…so I want you to promise me."

I've never seen him broke up over anything before. He looked like he was dying inside. I laid my hand against his cheek. "I'm not going anywhere." I shut my eyes. "I promise you I won't leave you…I love you…so don't worry ok?"

"Ok"
