Everyone loves updates, right? (munches on ginger snaps) Heheh, this is for my lovely reviewers, Mrs Asakura Hao, ACe, Mrs. Usui, FantasyFanatic1, and Deftonsita. Sorry if I missed someone! This chapter is dedicated to the first person who made you breathless!


Close your eyes and begin to breath
Something is coming over me
Lost to find, and a soul to keep
cause you love me...

"Wake up, Horo."

Ugh… Was he dreaming?

"Oi, Ainu-baka, get up!"

Ren was here? Good dream then.

"Unngrr…Wha?" Blue, bleary eyes opened slowly to see a frowning face overhead.

"Ren? What are you doing in this dream? Where did the orgasmic hamburgers go?"

"…You know what, I don't even want to know. Get dressed, before we wake up Anna ."

At the mention of the diabolic blonde's name, Horo was wide awake…for the most part. Obediently, he stumbled out of his comfortable bed sheets and pulled on a shirt, not bothering to change out of his loose grey sweat pants.

"Where are we going, Ren?"

"We're going to find something. And in order to do that, we're going to get lost."

"Huh?"

Three hours later, and Horo was no closer to receiving a real answer. Instead, Ren seemed content to ignore his frustrated inquiries, and drag the poor Ainu through the woods and fields outside of town without any real indication of direction.

"What is he up to?" he wondered, possible answers shooting through his head faster with each minute.

"Is he mad at me for yesterday? Is he gonna stab me with his kwan do? Is that why he took me out here, so no one will find my body? No, he wouldn't do that, right? RIGHT?"

Blue eyes glanced nervously up ahead, to where Ren was pausing to look around. Horo didn't know whether this was a good sign or a bad sign.

"Hey, Ren, you, y-youdidn'tbringmeoutheretokillmedidyou? Ididn'tmeantomakeyoumadIswear!" he blurted out. The other shaman's expression was one of mild shock, then confusion, and then of amusement. He smirked, and the Ainu hoped desperately his suspicions were not about to be confirmed.

"Horokeu, if I wanted to kill you, I'd do it where everyone could see. But that's beside the point. I think we're almost there, come on."

The shaman started forward, and the blue haired shaman was left more confused than he was to begin with.

"Hold on, you think we're almost there? W-Wait, Ren, wait up!" Grumbling half heartedly to himself, he petulantly stalked after the puple haired figure ahead.

"The sun's about to set. Why are we even out here, anyway?" The Ainu sighed, before a wicked smirk began to grace his previously pouting face.

"But still, being out here with him isn't really all that bad…It's an excellent view." Horo's gaze slid downward. Usually Horo wasn't one for grinning lecherously, but… You only live once, right?

Please comment! I think I might've spelled kwan do wrong... But, yeah, um... Feedback? Pwetty pwease?
