I have decided to make this the first in my four story series. Heart Throb, Heart Ache will be second, Heart Break is the third, and the last one is to be decided. This is a short chap, but bear with me, I'm having slight writer's block.
Loving Monday: Alright! Thank you for reviewing! Yesh, I didn't even notice I had six reviews already -dizzy-
Retsu: Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have a beta to catch these kinds of things, so it's kinda difficult. You learn later that the auditorium they rehearse at is in their school. Usually that's they way I write some or most of my chapters so you don't really have much of what's going on besides your imagination. Thanks for your constructive critism, I really appreciate it. I've taken your ideas into account. It's actually been fifth grade since I last read the play, so a little refreshing might do me some good. True, emo doesn't have to be capitalized, but the way I think it is usually the way it comes down, right or wrong. I haven't really gone over chapter 2 either, so I must have missed that.
Mankinfan: Don't worry! Lyserg shall come! Sometime. Someday :P
"Tch."
"You're going home, no matter what you do or say. We need you to take care of this for us. Besides, it's only a few days. Mom is gone and she'll be back Monday night in over there, so bear with me. I don't really want to send you to China."
"So why don't you do it? Go and take care of ojii-san? Does it specifically have to be me?"
"Err... I have things to do."
"Things? Specifically what things?"
"Things that little boys like you shouldn't know about until you're older."
"Who are you calling little?!"
"You, ototou."
"I dislike you at this moment. Is this really that important?"
"You'll love me later and yes. Besides, you haven't talked to Dad in a while. He's been wanting to talk to you. Jeez, questions, questions."
"I'm being abused by both my father and my sister in one action. The irony."
"And I also have been abused by father and we got over that, but you're too young to do anything to me. So right now, I will abuse" emphasis on 'abuse' "my power and get you on this plane. Have fun and remember to call. Careful when Dad starts destroying the Go table, Mom just go a new one. Spar with him a little after playing to cool him off. I know that you're going to win and give him that smirk of yours."
"Eh? But what about-"
"Everything's on the plane. Bye!" Jun said.
"Onee-chan!!" Ren yelled.
Right when Jun shoved him in, the exit closed and locked while the boarding ladder pulled away. The younger Tao watched as his sister waved him off through the window, an innocent smile on her face. He sighed and shook his head. He could never defeat his sister when it came to doing favors.
"Damn it. I can never turn her down. Sisters..." he said. "I might as well get comfortable... Somebody get me a bottle of milk!"

"Where's Ren?" Pirika asked. "Wasn't he going to come with us to Yoh's house today?"
"His sister called me and said something came up that he had to take care of." Horohoro said. "Man, on a Saturday too. What the heck could he be doing? Well, you can't change what you can't change. It's probably more important than the play if he has to fly all the way back to China."
The elder Ainu sighed out of the blue.
What is he doing? I'm going crazy here.
They knocked on the door to Yoh's house and Anna opened the door, the usual frown set on her face as she saw Horohoro, but it lightened unnoticably when she found Pirika waving at her from behind him. She turned around into the house and let them in.
"Yoh, Horohoro is here." Anna called. "He's watching TV in the living room."
The snowboarder smiled and nodded, taking off his shoes and heading into the house. Pirika stood at the door, waiting for Anna to come back.
"Anna?" she asked. "Do you want to go shopping with me? Since it's September, I think it's about time I go look for Horohoro's birthday present."
"Mmm." Anna said. "I'll get my bag and we can go. We'll have to meet up with Jun and Tamao later. They wanted our help with something."
Inside the boys were studying the script once again as the girls left and Yoh sighed as he flopped backwards. He was tired of thinking.
"You know, this isn't easy." he said. "It's killing me just sitting here."
"It's a romance Yoh. It kills all who aren't girls. I wonder what got me into this." Horohoro said. "I don't wanna go after my sister. What do you think I should do Mercutio?"
"You do remember that Pirika was the one who got you interested right? And I heard Anna is going to be Rosaline... so if I don't die or want to die, it's inevitable that I have to fit her in the plot so I marry her." Yoh said. "Otherwise I'd be training night and day fighting for life and limb after the play."
"Okay... Maybe we should put this down on a different piece of paper so we can rewrite the script later." the Ainu said. "Ren would probably make this go much easier if he were here. It's so difficult.
Ren...
B-bmp
"That sounds good." his friend said. "By the way, where's Ren anyways?"
"Somewhere in China. I don't know." Horohoro said absently.
Should I care?
--
"Ren-kun?"
"Yes grandfather?"
"What happened to your sister?"
Ren twitched slightly at remembering how he was shoved onto the plane.
She owes me. Big time.
"She had things to do." the violet haired Tao said.
"Ren! Do you want to play Go with Papa?" En asked.
His son looked at him, the usual ferocity in his eyes directed at his father.
Careful when Dad starts destroying the Go table, Mom just got a new one. Spar with him a little after playing to cool him off.
Ren gave the smirk that his sister had expected and turned to his father.
"You're on, old man."
--
"So what should we do? I know that I can't be paired with my sister, and you have to go with Anna..." Horohoro said. "Ah, this is hard."
"Why don't we make it so that me, Ren, and Benvolio go to the Capulet ball because Mercutio liked Rosaline instead of Romeo?" Yoh suggested. "That way it would work for me."
"Then what about me?" Horohoro said.
The brunette thought and the first thing that came to his mind was Horohoro and Ren arguing.
That could work...
But before the Asakura could state what was on his mind, Horohoro's oracle bell rang.
"What? At the worst of times too." the Ainu complained. "Nine PM, two days from now on Monday, September 22. Your opponent is blahblahblahblah. Jeez..."
"You have a match on Monday?" Pirika asked, taking off her shoes. "Alright! I'll have you training from morning till afternoon. So you don't lose again..."
Horohoro dropped in dead faint. All that thinking got him tired, and the thought of being trained right after just knocked him out. Yoh smiled with a slight sigh.
This might not be as hard as I thought. I just have to put two and two together...
This chapter is basically just a build up on what's going to happen next. Nothing much, but it's not nothing. I hope you enjoyed reading, I will try to incorperate Lyserg into the next chapter along with Chocolove okay? I've gotten my two reviews for the last chapter, and I want two more please! Then I'll update whenever I feel like I've met the expectations of Retsu. This chapter didn't really have much to do with the original Shakespear play, but I'm pretty sure the next one will.
