- Hey! Tamao-chan here! Welcome to my side sequel to Anna's Change of Heart! This story will still make sense even if you haven't read ACOH. Well, I hope you like it :)

HoroHoro was lazily walking around town. He walked onto the bridge on the way home.

" I'm so bored!" he said to Kororo. He took out the wooden thingy Pirika gave him ( I forgot its name... wait... did it have one? :/ ) He tossed it up and down as he walked. Then he tripped on a rock and - SPLASH! His treasured object fell into the river.

" OH CRUD!!!" he jumped down into the cool water. He looked everywhere. But the current had carried it far away.

" This is great. Just great." he slowly sauntered home, and Kororo sadly followed. Pirika greeted him.

" Hey, you're all wet!" Pirika observed. She gave a 'how come?' look.

" I-er fell into the river." HoroHoro did NOT want to tell her what really happened. After they ate, they went to bed. The blue-haired snowboarder could not get any sleep. He worried about what would happen if Pirika found out. And he didn't want to train the next day...

" Big brother, wake UP!!!"

" Idon'twanna." He mumbled.

" We have to train you!" Pirika objected.

" Not today."

"Yes today."

" No. I will not train today. I'm TOO TIRED." HoroHoro yawned. Pirika wouldn't give up.

" You WILL train! Yoh is always training with Anna!"

" I'm not Yoh. And you're not Anna."

" HOROHORO!!!"

" It's true. And I'm sick of training." HoroHoro began to get annoyed. He was angry about yesterday, and training, so he started to take it out on his sister.

" Hey, where's the wooden knife I gave you?"

" U-um... somewhere..."

" Where?"

" Er... um.... well... it's uh..." HoroHoro began to panic.

" Y-you didn't LOSE it did you?" Tears began to fill Pirika's eyes.

" Um... I guess... er.... y-yeah..." HoroHoro looked away. Pirika started crying.

" H-How?! How could you lose it?!"

" It kinda fell into the river" HoroHoro tried to smile but couldn't. Pirika was getting mad.

" You don't want to train, you lose things I give to you... I should..." All of a sudden, Pirika had enough strength to snap HoroHoro's snowboard in two.

" PIRIKA!!!" HoroHoro yelled, looking terrified.

" W-well it's YOUR FAULT!!!"

" You- you BROKE IT!!!" HoroHoro was even angrier, first the river accident, now his prized possession.

" Y'know what Pirika?! I'll-I'll go be with someone else. Maybe those X-Laws'll make me strong and not snap my stuff in half!" he began to lose it.

" NO! Don't join them!" Pirika started, but HoroHoro was already out the door. She decided she needed to call someone with X-Law experience.

" Lyserg? This is Pirika! My- my brother's about to go join the X-Laws!"

" WHAT?! Why them?! He saw how they treated me, that's why I quit!" he was shocked.

" I-I don't know. He j-just left!"

" Is he near by? Can I talk to him?"

" One sec- HOROHORO! Phone!" Pirika called out, but her brother continued to walk away.

" This is bad... I don't know what to do..." Pirika sighed.

" I'm sorry Pirika. I'll try to call Yoh and the others. Bye." Lyserg hung up. Pirika sat down and thought for a while.

" Maybe I'LL join someone too. Like... the Hanagumi!!!" Pirika decided.

-to be continued...-

- Yes, yes I know it's not natural for HoroHoro to want to join the X-Laws. But it's a story remember? I'll type the other chapters soon, don't worry :) Well, see you then! - Tamao-chan
