Anime— Ghost Hunt
Title— Back Off! Ch. 2
Author—Urdyonlione
"What's not necessary Mai? You shouldn't be ashamed of me you know. I know these people are family to you, you talk about them quite a lot." And there entered a young man the same age as Naru, a year older then Mai.
"Ooh. Back then, when I said he was as handsome as Naru it was a wild guess. I never thought a bishounen would actually fall for Mai y'know." Bou-san said while thoroughly examining Ren.
"Yeah. And another thing is…" Ayako said while turning to Naru. "He's actually a very worthy rival to this person over here."
"Rival?" Ren spoke clearly non-chalanty. It did not sound like a boast to anyone's ears, well, except Naru's. To his ears, it was: "Rival? Not even close."
Naru, with all his self-respect and restraint tried his best not to prod over it but there was one topic that could possibly wreck his wall of self-control.
"Well, if it's about looks, Shibuya-san is handsome. I wouldn't argue with that, it's not that I care. Besides, I have Mai. What or who could possible rival me in that aspect?" Ren stated with a bright smile.
Seriously, it was a completely honest and innocent remark.
Masako took over, very delighted.
"That's great Mai! You finally have a boyfriend and an equal to Naru at that!" Masako said with a hearty smile. She glanced at Mai then at Ren and finally at Naru. But she ended up sinking because of Naru's death glare.
Then there was silence. Masako pulled her sleeve and slowly backed down. Mai was smiling but she can't help but feel that a tremendous pressure is put onto her. Ayako and Bou-san were snickering in the corner and Lin and John is currently out of the picture. Meanwhile, Ren, not knowing the circumstance which involves him and Mai, keeps the unwavering 'smile'.
He. Was. Really. Oblivious. Regarding. This.
"His features certainly are plausible." Madoka said as she entered SPR.
Everyone turned to the door.
"Luella will surely be annoyed if she hears this Naru!" Madoka continued and amazingly everybody was just staring at her, no one even tried to stop her from talking, not Naru or even Lin. Maybe it was a good thing because it was a very touchy situation going on before she entered.
"Hmm. Let's see… Cool red hair, placid brown eyes so I guess that is not your natural hair color, nice style I may say. You dress more like a teen ager than our Naru." Madoka said staring at Ren from head to toe. Ren who was practically used to women swooning at him as much as Naru gets, had no reaction at all, he was used to it as well.
"He's just an average punk." Naru stated. Everyone was shocked by the comment that it took a few moments before someone to react. And the first one is Mai.
"H-hey! You, in no ways have no right to say tha—"
"It's ok Mai." Ren said calmly as he faced Mai. "I get that a lot."
"B-but!" Mai was about to complain when she was cut off by Ren.
"I am a punk as you call it. But you have a mistake, because I am not an average one." Ren said with a smirk on his face.
"And how is that?" Naru replied. Meanwhile, everyone is clearly anticipating the exchange of words while Mai was clearly displeased. They looked at Naru when he was speaking and then at Ren when it was his turn then back again.
And at the moment when Ren was about to reply, the door suddenly opened.
"Because he's the type of person you wouldn't want to lock horns with even if the argument doesn't concern a fight."
Everyone turned to the person who just entered and stared blankly giving the atmosphere that says 'who are you anyway?'
"Oh. My apologies, I should have introduced myself first. My name is Takeo Masamune. I am pleased to make your acquaintance." He said with a businessman like smile.
"Wow, he reminds me so much of Yasuhara." Bou-san said.
"Uhm, excuse me but who are you anyway?" Naru asked.
"I had just introduced myself." He replied with a wide grin.
"He really is Yasu's twin." Bou-san said in a low tone but enough to be heard by everyone.
That earned him a glare, a couple of giggles, and a pat in the back.
"That aside," Takeo said as he turned his attention to Ren, or rather; "Reo, we have a situation at Kagura High, they invaded our territory."
"Wait, what?" Naru and Mai said in unison. Amazed with the chemistry, the others just stared at them. Meanwhile, the two stared at each other until they snapped back to reality and turned to… Ren.
"What do you mean 'Reo'?"
"What do you mean 'invaded your territory?'"
Once again, they're voices reunited to ask two different questions but pointing to the same person.
"Quit copying or talk with me!" Mai said as she turned to Naru.
"I should be the one saying that." Naru retorted.
"Uhm, excuse me, a person being accused here… or rather, a person with explaining to do." Ren said as he waves his hand between Mai and Naru's faces.
Mai then turns away from Naru with a 'hmpf' and Naru smirks and turns his attention to Ren.
"So, what were you saying?" Everyone then listens attentively and intently.
"Okay, I'll answer Naru-cha-"
"I did not allow you to call me that." Naru cut him off annoyed. Understanding this, he continues…
"Shibuya-san's question as that part is already known by Mai." He glances at Mai and she returns a nod but still anxious about her own question.
Ren returns his attention to Naru and resumes speaking.
"Well, for starters, I'm our school's gang leader." And that received a loud 'Eeh?' from the girls.
"What era do you live in? Fighting? Child's play." Naru asked sarcastically with a smirk plastered in his face.
"Naru! Stop that! For your information, he's also the school idol and he's in the top of our class! He's admired even outside our school and he's more famous than you and has a better personality too!" Mai huffed and puffed at Naru. While the other's snickered at the background even Ren and Takeo earning a death glare from Naru.
"He obviously likes her." Takeo whispered to the monk.
"You got that right." Bou-san responds.
Then, there's the awkward silence once again.
"That's my girl~! I'm so touched!" Ren runs to Mai and hugs her.
And the dark swirling clouds of death and darkness is looming over Naru. Everybody felt that dark aura and gulped. But it seems like Ren's happy mode is an effective shield.
"Okay, that's one down. How about you're pseudonym, 'Reo'?" Naru asked with an inevitable glare, but it seems like the target is immune to it. Upon hearing the question, Mai pushed Ren back and looked up to him with a serious face.
He sighed then turned to Takeo for back up but his comrade just shrugged it off.
"Hey! You're the reason for this mess any way…" Ren said with a pout which made Mai blush.
"No. Focus Mai!" She thought.
"Okay, okay. Uhm, for starters, 'Reo' is my real name and my nickname. Since it has come to this and Mai is my girlfriend, I think she has the right to know, and for you people, since you're like his family anyway, I guess a few more people knowing this won't hurt." Reo said.
Girlfriend. Naru evidently twitched at that part.
"Let me further explain what he said," Takeo but in. "In the Gokudo world, he is known as the "Sleeping Lion" therefore earning the nickname 'Leo' or 'Reo' in Japanese tongue."
"By 'Gokudo' you mean…" Ayako started.
"Yes, I'm a yakuza's son, and not only that, I'm an heir."
Everybody took a step back, except Naru and Lin of course. Then Reo sighed and looked at Mai.
"Oh. My. God." Mai managed to breathe out.
