"I got it!"
"Huh? Ren, hold on dude. Just hold on!"
"Don't worry Horo. I won't let go! Ahh!"
"Master Ren... Master Ren!"
"He's not moving..."
"It doesn't look like he's breathing.. Is he breathing?"
"I don't think so.. I think he's..."
"Master Reeeen!"
Horohoro gasped and quickly sat up from his bed in shock. It was just a dream.. But also a reminder of the past. Horohoro was so worried about Ren that day. He had a strange feeling about Ren that he just couldn't make out. He had never felt that way about anybody before. As if he needed something...
Pirika, from the other futon she was sleeping on, glanced over to her older brother. Giving him a queshtioning look as her eyes slowly opened. It was only four o'clock in the morning, so she was still very tired. But she couldn't help but wounder if he was okay.
"Ani-chan... Are you alright?" Pirika asked as she sat upon the mattress, rubbing her eyes.
Horohoro blinked and glanced over to Pirika, giving a small nod as he pulled his legs up to his chest with his arms wrapped around them, mumbling softly."Huh..? Yeah. But don't worry. It was just a dream... I'm fine."
"More like a nightmare.."
"Heh.. It was crazy."
"What was, your dream?"
Horohoro nodded once again and sighed softly. He shifted his gaze across the room as if he was staring into nothingness. "It happened before... The day that Ren had saved me. We all thought he was dead but he wasn't.."
"...?" Pirika raised a brow as she watched her brother carefully. Woundering why he would be dreaming about something like that.
"My heart began to race. And i didn't think i would be able to see..." He stopped before he could finish. Gasping, he lifted his hand to cover his mouth. He didn't want to say anything more about it. Then she would find out that he had feelings for his former teammate.
"...Do you have a thing for Ren?"
Horohoro's eyes widened in thought as his cheeks began to turn a bright red color. Flushing with embarrasment as he was lost in thought. "What?!"
"Well you do keep on having dreams about him. And you never stop talking about the guy. And then you blush when we talk about him. It makes me wounder..."
"...I don't know. I just wanna see him again. It's been a long time.."
"Then go see him!"
"But who's gonna take care of the Koro Pokurru?"
"I will! Leave it up to me. But... Wait... How are you gonna get to China? You don't have any money."
"Um.. Well i guess i could take a boat and fl-"
"No!"
"Or... Get Tao Yuan to fly me all the way there. He does turn into that dragon thing. Whatever the hell that is."
"How are you gonna contact him? He's in China." She replied as she raised a brow. He clearely wasn't thinking straight.
Horohoro laughed and itched the back of his neck nervously. He then puffed and wiggled out of the bed in his blue pajamas. "Geeze. You sure make things difficult."
"Life is difficult... Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen. I'm starving!" Horohoro wrapped his arms around his own waist as his stomach soon began to growl.
He walked towards the Kitchen and tilted his head off to the side. "Hm.. I guess i can go over to Yoh's place and ask for Anna. Maybe she can bring a rideable spirit so i can go. I don't have many choices.."
He didn't like to think too much but he wanted to see Ren really badly. It had been two months since they've seen each other. And he couldn't deny his stomach's demands. Not like that had to do with the situation, of course.
Horohoro opened the refrigerator's door and pulled out a plate of french fries and stuck them into the microwave while he clicked the start button. He then turned around and walked off to the bathroom, closing the door behind him he stared at his own reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall.
Horohoro bit his lower lip and slomped a little. "Gawd.. I wish i could just be there right now!"
All of a sudden, Horohoro's surroundings became bright and then suddenly became pitch black.
"Did i pass out or something..? Mmm.. Feels like grass.." He thought to himself. He then smelled fresh air pass by. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Morphine flying right next to him as she smiled happily.
She gave a wink and giggled lightly before she flew off. Horohoro blinked a few times and looked around. At first he thought he was only imagining things. But then... His eyes dilated as he let out a scream.
"Aaaaaah!!" Horohoro was in China.
