Red Crown

Chapter 2 - Misunderstanding

Diane's P.O.V

I held onto Yata's hand as we slowly entered the bar. I never knew holding someone's hand could be so nice. I mean it makes you feel safe and I feel like everythings going to be fine. His hand is so warm and reassuring...and I kinda like it.....

I'm probably blushing right now. I hope his not the only one nice in Homura so I can stay with them or with him longer. Even though we've only met for a few minutes, I'm beginning to like him.

But. I. Can't. Fall. For. Him!!!!! I can't. I have to - never mind. Sigh. Our situation is too complicated, if this keeps going I might blow things up and I don't wanna hurt him. So it's better to just crush this feelings.(T^T)

I finally entered the bar and it was very crowded and noisy. I actually feel less nervous and I look around to look for the Red King but there was no red head so I sighed in relief but then I notice that the bar got literally quiet and everyone was looking at us then it hit me that I. Was. Still. Holding. Yata's. Hand! His face was so red and I felt my cheeks heat up too. What do I do?!

I was panicking inside when Yata-san squeezed my hand a little and gestured me in one of the bar stools. I followed and I let go of his hand.

Kusanagi's P.O.V

I was cleaning my wine glasses and the boys were being rowdy as usual. Sigh, don't they know how much time and money I sacrifice for this bar?! These boys really need to learn how to behave theirselves.

Then I heard a bell ring and saw Yata standing at the door and he was blushing madly. Poor boy, a girl must've talked to him but what's that behind him?

"H - hey" he greeted us.

"Yo, Yata-san where have you be-" Rokio starts but he gets cut off when he or we notice that there was a girl behind him.

She stepped forward, she was wearing a red school uniform, her curly red hair was arranged in a ponytail, she had violet amethyst eyes and fair skin but what was more surprising was They. Were. Holding. Hands!!!

Whe - when did Yata started dating a girl?! Then, everyone no everything went quiet and the two blushed even more being aware that all the attention were on them. After a minute, Yata gestured the girl to one of bar stools and she followed him, she lets go of his hand but the moment she sits down....

Bandou: What the f*ck?! Since when did Yata started dating a girl?!

Yata: We're not dating!

Kosuke: She's so pretty

Yata: Back off you monkeys!

Chitose: Have you guys done it yet?

Yata: F*ck you! Of course not!

Eric: Damn I never knew you had it in you Yata-san.

Yata: Listen to me will ya?!

Dewa: How long have you guys been dating?

Yata: She's not my girlfriend!!!

Totsuka: Wow! Congratulations Yata-san, you finally held hands with a girl!

Yata: Totsuka-san, Please stop!

And the whole bar became a battlefield. These rascals, I'm going to teach them a lesson but not right now because I can't have a very pretty girl see my dark side. I notice that the girl was very uneasy so I patted her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Um is it okay not to stop them, I mean it looks like their about to reap each other's throat."she said nervously. I laughed.

"Don't worry miss, things like this happen all the time. So what can I do for a pretty lady like you" I winked at her and she smiled timidly.

"One Manhattan( its a kind of cocktail) please." Damn this girl is hot, I knew Yata could get a girlfriend but I never expect it to be someone as pretty as her I thought as I skillfully made her drink.

"I'm Izumo Kusanagi, the owner of this bar" she turns her attention from looking around to me. "So may I have the honor of knowing the name of a beautiful miss such as yourself" I confidently said and gave her drink.

"My name's, Diane Colf" she smiles and drinks the cocktail.

"You're a foreigner aren't you?"

"Yes, I am."

I put my left elbow on the table and place my face on my palm(left). I look at her directly and smiled at her childishly. She looks confuse at first then...

"Are you really Yata's girlfriend?" I tease her. Her face turned red and she seems flustered at the question.

"N - No h - he's not my b - boyfriend." She's stuttering, so cute! She's just like Yata.

"Then how come you two are holding each other's hand?" I smirked.

She puts both of her hands on her lap and stares at them."You see my friend told me that this bar serves the best cocktail, their my favorite so I wanted to get a drink but she also said a powerful gang hangs out here. Actually I didn't believe it at first but when I was on my way here I bump into Yata-san. I was still new in this city so I thought it would be better if I walk with someone who is familiar here. Then it turns out Yata-san was a member of Homura and said that you guys do have incredible power so when we were infront of the bar I got really nervous and Yata-san tried to calm me down...b - by holding my hand." she explained defensively.

I was shocked about what she said that Yata was the first one to initiate physical contact with her....that boy....has grown so much already....I was so focused talking to the beautiful girl that I forgot that the King was sleeping and the boys were having a battle.

"What the fuckin' hell is going on here?!" All the attention went towards the source of the voice, fear started to grow inside the bar and everything went quiet.

A tall and intimidating man with red hair and amber eyes was standing at the end of the stairs. There was a little doll - like girl with white hair and red eyes holding the King's hand.

??? P.O.V

I sneered. "It looks like the Red King has finally shown himself."
