For the Love of My Rose Hime

Fiftieth Rose: Ban's Feelings

by Nikkie23534

Crescent Cafe...

       It was late in the afternoon. He sat at the long stainless steel table in the kitchen, watching her. She was standing at the counter, helping a customer. Her dark hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, as the ends brushed against her slender neck. The almost breathless husk of her voice reached his ears. He closed his eyes, letting the smooth sexy tone waif over him. 'I could listen to that sound all day!' He thought, as his eyes roamed over her curvy figure. 'I could look at her all day too!' As he looked at her, he started wondering. When did she stop being just a coworker to him? When did he start watching the clock on the wall, waiting for her to show up? When did he first notice, the smoothness of her caramel skin? The curve of her face. The way the right corner of her mouth, lifted slightly higher, when she smiled. Her cat like eyes sparkled, when she laughed? At what point, did he start to see her as a woman. At which point, did she become important to him?

       "Ban." A voice called to him, but went unheard.

       'Oh man,' he thought in dismay. 'What Jak said, couldn't be true. It...I can't possibly.'

       "Ban..."

       Again the voice was ignored, as the young man looked out at the object of his thoughts. She was cleaning the tables, and talking to Kisa. 'No way! I can't be! Not her! Sure, she's good looking. Very good looking, but she's not my type! I mean, she's not like the girls I go for!' He watched her for a few minutes. She leaned over to pick up a napkin. His eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat, at the sight of her curvy bottom.

       "Yo BAN!"

       'Damn, baby got much back! Wait a minute! I did NOT just think that...did I?' He shock his head to clear it. 'Oh shit, Jak was right! I-I AM in love with her! Oh shit! I'm in love with HER!!!! SHIT!!!!!!'

       Just then...SMACK... "Ow! God damn it!" Ban looked beside him, to find his little brother, Renkostu, standing there. His arms crossed over his chest, and he was staring back at Ban, mildly irritated look. "What the fu... What'd ya hit me for, rag head?"

       Ren raised one brow, as he stared unfazed by his brother's yell. "What do you mean 'why'? I'd called you 3 or 4 times! Why are you just standing there staring into space?" He glanced down at the table, then back up to Ban. "And, unless that bread dough is planning to come to life, and murder everyone. I suggest you stop kneading it! You're gonna ruin it, bread killer!"

       "Wha?" Bankostu looked at his brother, then at the table. Seeing the pitifully overworked dough just lying there. "Oh shit!" He yelled, grabbing the bread and attempting to try and reshape it.

       Ren sighed and took it from him, "Don't bother. Just start over, I'll use this for bread twists. Hey bro, you've been kind of spacey lately. Not paying much attention at work. You don't even go clubbing like you used to. What gives? What's got you so preoccupied?"

       Ban said nothing at first, as he started putting another bread mix together. He looked out into the cafe again, "Ren?"

       "What?" He answered, without looking at him.

       "What is it about Kisa, you like so much?"

       That got Renkostu's attention. He eyed his brother. "What. Do. You. Mean?"

       "I mean what is it that you see in her?"

       "Look you, I don't know what you're problem is. But, don't you start in on Kis."

       Ban held up his hands, in defense. 'Whoa note to self, lay off Kisa for a while.' "Whoa little bro, hold on. I meant no disrespect, honest!" Putting his hands down, he sat down and rephrased his question. "I was just wondering, what it was that drew you together, that's all? I mean, you guys have been together since you where in middle high. What is it about her, that keeps you interested?"

       Ren studied Ban for a while. He saw that his brother quite serious, he sat down across from him. "Well, if I had to pick one thing...I...guess." He paused for a minute, then smiled. "Kis is a good woman, she looks out for me. She keeps me focused. I guess that's why."

       Ban, watched as a goofy little smile lit on Ren's face, as he gave his answer. But, he was still a little confused. "Yeah, but I guess what I'm asking is, why Kisa? I remember all the girls that where after you. What makes Kisa so different?"

       Ren continued to smile at his brother, then he said. "Yeah, but she was different. Not like those other airheaded bimboes. She has quality and substance. It would have to be the way she loves me, no matter how stupid or how dense, or how forgetful I get. Kis loves me, and she will always love me. Faults and all!" Ban nodded in understanding. Letting his mind go over all that his brother had told him.

       As he did this, Renkostu studied him. He'd never seen his brother so...so rattled and unnerved. 'He's up to something. Hmm... I wonder...' He turned to watch the door, when he heard someone come in the kitchen. It was Monica, coming to change the water in her cleaning bucket. She smiled at them, then went about her business. Ren looked over to Ban, his eyes bulged when he saw his brother's face.

       Ban sat there staring at Monica. Those hot cobalt orbs, following her every move, as she went around the kitchen. Feeling eyes on her, she stopped and turn towards the 2 men. Giving them a little smirk, she asked. "And just what are you two up to? You guys are looking awfully guilty."

       Ban sat up quickly, startling his brother and Monica. "Hey, Monica! How's it going out there? Ya busy?"

       Ren blinked in shock, as Monica raised one dark brow at him in question. Then she shrugged. "Nah, it's kinda slow. I don't think, were gonna be all that busy tonight. What's going on in here? You guys look pretty serious?" She inquired, looking from one brother to the other.

       Ren started to answer her, but Bankostu jumped in. "Nothing to important. Just shootin' the breeze. Taking shop, ya know how it is! Ha ha ha ha!" His loud nervous laugh, making him look like a deranged mental patient. Monica and Ren just stared at him, the same thought going through their heads. 'Ooookkaayyyy, There's a loony! There's a loony in the kitchen!' Seeing the both of them looking at him, as if he was crazy, Ban tried to regroup. "Ahem, say Monica. Since we'll be closing early today, and we're closed tomorrow. Do you have any plans for tonight?" He got a little nervous, when she gave him a dumbfounded look. "I mean if you didn't make any plans with your dad...or someone?"

       "No. My dad is working late. So, it's just me and a carton of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey, and cable. Why?"

       'YESSSSS!' His mind yelled, 'Maintain you coolness, my man. Maintain your coolness!' He took a deep breath, and looked at her. "Well, you see...heh...um...I a...there this John Woo movie festival starting tonight in Kyoto."

       "Yeah, I know," Monica whined. "I love his movies! I tried to get a ticket, but it was sold out! I'm so bummed out! That's why I'm not going out. I figured I'd just rent the dvds." She pouted.

       Ban had to bite the inside of his cheek, to keep from smiling. 'Oh yeah!' "Well, it funny! You see, I so happen to have 2 tickets for tonight! A friend of mine was supposed to go with his girl, but she backed out at the last minute. So he gave them to me." Ren, who was sitting at the table unnoticed, tilted his head to the side. He was silently watching the whole exchange. 'Um, hello? I feel like a fifth wheel!' "So since I have these tickets, and you're not doing anything...Ya wanna go? W-with me that is, do ya?"

       Monica regarded him for a minute, "Ban, are you sure? I mean, you don't want to ask any of your other...girlfriends?"

       Ban jumped and grabbed her hand, Moni who was now staring at him in wide eyed shock. "NO!" -Ahem!- He released her and stepped back. "No...um...I can't think of anyone else. So, what do you say? You game?"

       "Wwweeeellll, I do so want to go." She bit her lower lip, as she contemplated then she smiled and shrugged. "What the hell! Yeah! You're on, I'd love to go! But I insist on paying you back for my ticket."

       Ban smiled and shook his head, 'I just knew she'd say that!' "What about if you buy the popcorn instead?"

       "Extra butter?" She laughed.

       He winked, "Now your talkin'!" When she left the room, he went back to mixing the dough. He looked up, when he felt eyes on him. Ren was sitting across from him, his chin cradled in the palm of his hand, just staring at him. "What?"

       "You poor pathetic fool! Your in love with her, aren't you?"

       Ban sighed, "Does it show that much?" When Ren gave him a look that screamed 'Are you kidding?' He sat down, and nodded. "Yeah, I guess I am." Grabbing his brother by the neck of his chef coat. "If you say anything to her, I'll tell Kisa about how you used to wet the bed until you were 10! Plus, I'll tell her how you had to sleep with a nightlight until you were 15! Got it!"

       Ren held his hands up in helpless surrender, "I got it! I got it! I won't say a word!" He sighed when Ban released him, then sat down and smiled. "I just think Moni's a down girl! I hope you guys do get together. I'm sure you'll make an awesome pair, your perfect for each other! You like 'Yin and Yang' you just fit together."

       Ban smiled. "Listen to you, you sound like Jak. He said the same thing at Yasha's wedding."

       "Well, it just goes to show you. Jak's crazy, not stupid." Ren smiled as he started cutting the dough, Ban ruined earlier. "It's great that you got tickets to the festival. It's been sold out for weeks. Hey maybe your seats are close to me and Kis'! That would be a blast!"

       Ban looked at him, "I don't have any tickets."

       Ren looked in confusion. "But, you said you had tickets."

       "No. I said a 'friend' of mine had some tickets." Ban said, giving his little brother a pointed look.

       Ren looked at Ban for a minute, then his eyes widened. "No! No, Ban! I waited weeks for these tickets! I got them as a surprise for Kisa!"

       "Kisa? Kisa won't like it. I can guarantee you that." He smiled sweetly at his little brother. "Come on, Ren. Do you big bro a solid, let me have the tickets."

       "Hell no!"

       "I'll give you $100.00 for them."

       "No!"

       "150."

       "Bite me!" At that time Kisa walked into the room. She stood at the door, watching the brothers argue. 'What the hell?'

       "Damn it, Ren! $200 and not a penny more!"

       "GET BENT!"

       "What the hell is going on here? What are you two idiots fighting about now?" She demanded.

       Ren looked over at his fiance, and said. "This fool lied to Moni, saying that he had tickets to the Woo festival. And, he wants me to give him 'our' tickets so 'he' can take her!"

       Ban interjected, "I didn't say give them to me, I offered you 200 bucks for them. That probably 3x what you paid for them!"

       Kisa's eyes widened as she watched the brothers argue some more. A minute later. "HEY!!!" She yelled, causing both to stop, and look at her. "It's not worth all this fighting." Turning to her angry beau, she smiled sweetly. "Ren, give him the tickets. It's fine, I didn't really want to go anyway."

       Ban smirked as Ren whined. "But, Kis! I waited for weeks to get these tickets! You said you really wanted to go! You were all excited about it!"

       Kisa sucked her teeth and sneered at him. "You nut! I just said that because YOU wanted to go so bad. I could give a damn about it! So, just give Ban the tickets." Then she looked at Ban. "You make sure you give Ren the $200, okay?"

       "You got it, thanks Kisa!"

       "No problem." Then Kisa turned and went into the storeroom. Ren got up and followed her, whining about not going to the festival. Once inside the room, Kisa closed the door. "Will you shut up! It was only a stupid marathon! There will be others to go to."

       Ren was still unhappy. "But, Kis you said you wanted to go!"

       "I did want to go!"

       Now Ren looked more confused than ever. 'What the fu...?' "If you wanted to go, than why did you make me give him our tickets?!?"

       Kisa smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed her poor stupid boyfriend. "Because, one it would make Moni happy. Two, it would be good for Ban to go out with a real woman, for a change. Not some dumb chickenhead." Then she kissed him again and smiled, "And, the most important reason of all. The we just got $200 for a pair of $50 tickets! Got me?" She said wiggling her brows at him.

       Ren stared at her for a minute then laughed. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her close. "You know Kisa. I just discovered another reason for why I love you so much!" Then he pulled her in for a most passionate kiss!
