Street#22: Ran's Quiting...

It was half past nine and Ran was in a meeting with Fuyu-Chan discussing their next tour. More like they were discussing it, while Ran only chowed down on the snacks that were laid down for them.

"I say Ran should go on a full Japan Tour..."

"That'll boost her fame and we'll let her be known to the world..."

"Wait I think we should hear what Ran thinks... Ran?..."

All three executives looked at Ran way while there was a half eaten donut hanging by her mouth. Ran finished the donut and stood up from her chair. The three watched her every move, she took a deep breath she looked at them with a straight face then...

"I quit..."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT?!"

The whole building shook at the shout of the executives. Ran only covered her ears, she knew they would act like this towards the decision she's made. The executives and Fuyu-san were having a heart attack. It took a while for them to calm down with deeps breaths in, and deep breaths out. When they were calm enough to think, they all looked at Ran with questions written all over their expressions. Why would she quit? She became well known in just one week after her debut, what could make her suddenly want to quit. Fuyu-san was about to launch a set of questions when Ran stopped her. Ran sighed and was about to explain her reason.

"Look I know your shock by my decision, but I have my arsons I want to quit...

One: I miss Shibuya...

Two: Who knows what happened to Shibuya while I was gone...

Three: I'm still a student about to go for college, and I don't think I can handle being stared at in class...

Four: I'm beginning to dislike how people act towards me, it's like they're cannibals ready to eat me alive...

Five: My voice is always exhausted every end of the day...

Six: I miss shopping openly and not hiding from a bunch of fans hunting me like I'm the 'missing link' or something...

Seven: I miss beating bad guys up...

Eight: I miss my family despite how annoying they could be...

Nine: I wanna just lie down and not do anything...

Ten: I did say I was just gonna give it a try, to pass the boring summer days when I can't go out...

Eleven: I'm not even sure if singing is what I want for a future...

Twelve: I miss my friends... It's been a while since I've seen them..."

Ran was done and sat back down on her seat. The executives were suddenly back to discussing, and now it was about Ran retiring and just as her career was going so well. Ran watched them as the discussion went on. Tired Ran decided to go out and get fresh air.

"Man I wonder what's everyone in Shibuya are doing right now?... Miyu's probably on a date with Yamato... Same thing for Maya and Yuuya... Tatsuki and Yumiko are working their butts off... Sayo still paying as detectives with her friends... Mom and Dad... How should I know what those two are doing... Aya... what are you doing in America"

Meanwhile...

"ACHOOO"

"Aya are you alright? do you have a cold?"

"No I'm fine..."

"chuckle They say when you sneeze... someone is thinking of you..."

Aya blushed a crimson red color, she was embarrassed at the thought.

Going Back To Ran…

Ran slammed the door closed where the executives were having their meeting. Then ran went over to the balcony and leaned against the railings looking over the city and the sky above it. She closed her eyes and visualized her friends and her family. How were they? Did they miss her? How about Shibuya? Is it still in one piece? Her thoughts were disturbed when she felt something was pointing at her back.

'What the? A gun?'

She thought, she's been in this situation many times before, 'Turn Around Then Punch Him In The Face' tactic always worked, so far one was smart enough to avoid that tactic. She turned around and launch a solid punch but was surprises when there was nothing there but thin air. She retreated her hand to the side of her body leaving her totally confused.

"Hi there missy…"

Rei suddenly appeared from the bottom of her view carrying a Popsicle with him. Ran screamed at the shock and launched another punch at him, Ran never did like surprises that could scare her half to death. Luckily Rei caught her punch with his free hand. It took a while for Ran's mind to register that it was Rei.

"YOU STUPID, IDIOTIC, MORONIC, NERDY JERK! YOU SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH!"

"Only half… Darn…"

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! HOE'D YOU GET DOWN THERE ANYWAY?!"

Rei's Point Of View…

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT?!"

Rei heard as the whole building shook.

'What was that? Sound like one of them was Fuyu-san voice… Guess Ran decided on something on her own again… sigh… She's probably stressed right now... Better bring her something to cool her head… A Popsicle is the best choice…'

Rei got a Popsicle and went to the floor where their meeting was going on. Then he saw Ran leaning on the railings of the balcony.

'Maybe a little scare should help… MAYBE…'

Rei sneaked up behind her, she was deep in her thoughts, which meant this was his chance. He took the Popsicle and pointed it at her back making sure she felt it. He felt Ran got tense meaning she's probably getting ready to use her 'Turn Around Then Punch Him In The Face' tactic. Then at the moment Ran turned around he ducked, when Ran was confused that's when he would surprise her.

End Of Rei's Point Of View…

"I got you a Popsicle since I know your pretty stress about whatever happened to your meeting…"

"Fine… And thanks for the Popsicle…"

Ran said as she snatched the Popsicle that Rei was holding, started to lick it, it was chocolate flavor so she enjoyed it.

"So Ran… What did you do this time that made your executives screamed out of their heads like that?"

"I just told them that I quit being a singer…"

"Oh…"

"Your not surprised?"

"Not really… The reason is you miss Shibuya and everyone else right?"

Ran nodded at what Rei said. Rei then patted her head lightly making her feel comfy.

"Your not hard to understand Ran… Sure sometimes you hide your pain with a smile and with your cheerfulness… But when there's something you really want you intend to show it through unimaginable ways… Whined, Scream, Yell…"

"OK… I get it moving on…"

"chuckle Anyway what I'm trying to say is… You may fool other people… But you can't fool those who are close to you…"

Ran sighed and looked at her Popsicle that was almost gone. Rei was right, Miyu could even tell if she was having too much things in her mind and so did Aya. And she was thankful for all of them. And she wanted to show that, but how… Then an idea popped in her head…

"THAT'S IT!"

"What 'That's It' Ran…"

"Thank you Rei! I so OWE you! Now I know what to do! I'll see you later!"

Ran said as she left in a hurry, now leaving Rei confused.

'Did I say something? All I did was tell her the truth…hmm'

"Rei…"

Rei looked back at Ran who came back and was standing near him. Rei looked at her and noticed her face blushing and that she was looking left to right and right to left, she was making sure there was no one there but why?

"Rei… I guess I should thank you properly…"

"Huh?"

"You like me right?"

"Yeah… So?"

"Shut up already… Just close your eyes ok…"

"Ok…"

As Rei closed his eyes. Ran's blush got even redder as she cupped Rei's cheeks and pulled him slowly and gave him a peck on the lips, which Rei felt and was surprised. Because Ran told him not to show Public Display of Affection towards her. But it's not like he minded at all. The kiss only lasted for 3 seconds. And Rei opened his and saw Ran blushing even deeper, and a grin appeared on his face.

"N-Now don't m-make a big d-deal about it ok… I-If y-you do I'll make sure you won't live to see another day…"

Rei smiled at how embarrassed Ran was talking big even with her voice shaking.

"Sure…"

"See ya then!"

Then Ran, ran towards the direction where the executives were having their meeting. Rei smiled at the disappearing figure and was happy for himself and for her for doing something she would ever do in a public place cause people might see her. But someone well hidden in the shadows saw everything and felt jealous of him since even when him and Ran were together, Ran never dare to do such a stunt even if they were alone.

In The Meeting Room…

The door slammed open making the executive jump. Ran walked in and placed her right foot on the table with a satisfied smile on her face making the executives give her a questionable look.

"I know what to do for my 'Retiring Concert'!"

She announced and the executives still wondering what she could have in mind. But their looks only made Ran smile even wider.
