Bah! I had to make myself work on this…been on a Final Fantasy craze recently. So I've been using all of my free time to work on it…those. I have soooooo much trouble beating those, and its only because I can't beat bosses and I don't like people beating them for me all the time (I do anyway tho). Sigh Alrighty then! Enough of that! On to business!I totally realized that I completely forgot to tell youse all what it is that they (Yoh and Horo) train for…Oh well, I'm not going to say. Yes, I know, I'm bad. Besides, you're bound to find out sometime, ne?
Well, on to chapter 3 then…enjoy!
Oh! And thoughts are still in Italics. Just thought I'd remind ya'll

Horo awoke to the sound of knocking on his door. Wait… when did I fall asleep? What happened? Then he remembered. He'd been getting ready for bed, and then… then… he couldn't remember that far. "Who is it?" he called, not bothering to get up.
"Me baka." Ren… that jerk. "You're gonna be late for school if you don't get up."
"Yea nii-san. Get up." Seems like Pilika's here too…fun.
When there was no answer, Ren slowly pulled the door open. Looking in, Pilika looking in over his shoulder, his jaw dropped. There lay a half-naked Horo, in the middle of his floor, lying in a puddle of water. In fact, you couldn't even see the floor through it.
Horo looked up groggily and blushed, realizing that with the water underneath him, his pants were completely soaked through. He didn't want Pilika to be able to see through his pants! She'd see what was on the other side of them. Sure, she may already know, but still.
"Go away! I'm not decent!" He screamed.
Pilika giggled. "Alright, alright. We'll leave. Just get ready okay nii-san? Daddy would not be pleased if he found out you were skipping school just because you're tired." Giving a brief wave, she said, "Oh. And don't forget to get that water dried up. Didn't even here you taking a shower… least you could've done was to dry up before entering the room. All that waters not good for the floors… Ja!" With that said she grabbed Ren's arm and pulled him down the hall, talking about how much he'd love her home made lunches, and since he and Jun were staying there as guests, she'd let them try everything first hand.
Sighing, he looked at the water on the floor. "Great. Now I have to clean that up…Fun."
When he was finished dressing he ran and grabbed himself a towel, and then returned to his room. He sighed again. He was so tired. I wish this would clean itself up, than I wouldn't have too. He turned and looked at the puddle. Hey! I've got an idea! How about I just leave this here. It'll dry up in no time. And it won't ruin the floors that much…A self-satisfied look came onto his face. Horo, you're a genius. Food here I come!
Horo ran out of his room, grabbing his book bag from the side of his door as he did so. Down the stairs and to the right, he skidded to a halt outside of the kitchen. There was always time for food in Horohoro's book. He walked in and quickly made himself a lunch (he wasn't about to let Pilika make one for him…she liked to put in a bunch of weird concoctions that were supposedly for his health. He didn't believe her though). "Alright. Now that that's done, time to go to school."
o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o
It was after 1st period and Horo was getting a drink of water. Leaning over the faucet he was about to turn it on when it exploded all over him. "GAH!" Eyes turned to look at him. He laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Ahahaha…oops." Many rolled their eyes, some laughed at him, others went back to the conversations that they had been having; but they all continued on their way, basically ignoring him.
In 2nd period he was half asleep. The teacher just droned on and on about things he could care less about. He was lucky that he was able to pretend like he was listening, otherwise the teacher probably would have yelled at him. Of course that didn't last for long. "Mr. Usui!"
He jumped to attention. "Y-yes sir?" he asked timidly.
"Can you repeat what I just said?"
It seems as if he knows I wasn't listening…but how? I could've sworn that I looked like I was paying complete attention.
3rd period was much the same. He was having even more trouble than usual paying attention. Its not that he was a bad student, no it was quite the opposite actually. He just found his classes boring, so he didn't pay that much attention. Maybe that was one of the reasons why Ren always called him an idiot.
Finally it was lunch. It was times like these that he was glad that he went to a special private school that gave them a two-hour lunch. If he found Yoh maybe he could get him to wake him up before the next bell. That way he could take a nap. Yea…that just might work.
"HORO!"
Horo hell forward slightly in startled surprise. "…Wha?" Oh. It was just Yoh. "…Hey Yoh…Oh. Hey! Yoh! You're here Yoh!" He grabbed Yoh by the shoulders and began to shake him as he continued, "I'm so glad you're here Yoh! I've got a BIG favor to ask of you!" He happily dragged Yoh off, ignoring Yoh's cries of: Whoa! Slow down, and in a whining sort of voice: Ho-ro. At least let me put my sandals back o-on!
Stopping just outside of the school courtyard, he grabbed a seat on one of the benches. "Yoh?" Horo didn't hear an answer for a few seconds, and then a response. "Could you wake me up in time for the next period?" When Yoh didn't answer he took that silence as a yes. He grinned and said, "Thanks."
Just as he was falling asleep it began to rain. He shot up and scowled. Yoh had his head protected underneath his book bag and he gave him a sheepish grin. "Looks like I won't be having that nap after all huh?" Yoh just laughed and said yes. Together they ran towards the school grounds.
Yoh was looking at him with a confused look. "Hey Horo."
He glared and shouted, "WHAT!"
"Where's your book bag?"
He skidded to a halt for the second time that day. "Dammit! I'll see you later Yoh!" He gave a brief wave before running back the way they came.
He picked up his book bag and looked up at the sky. His mouth dropped open. Only the area above him had gray skies! Everywhere else had nice and pretty blue! This day seemed to be determined to make him wet! The bell rang. Silently, he trudged his way to his next class; cursing the day for all of his bad luck.
o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o
The day was finally over and he was finally home. Entering his bedroom he stopped. The floor was perfect! He knew he was being smart to not bother drying it up. And he was right about it not ruining the floor as well. He couldn't believe that he'd been right about that. It just made his day a whole lot better! Grinning, he walked into his room and through his book bag in the corner, he'd deal with his homework later. Now was just time for a nap.
Crawling into his bed, he pulled the covers up over his head and sighed contentedly. That is, before he fell through his bed to the floor underneath it.
He cursed vehemently. And here he was thinking that his day had gone from bad to good…boy, had he been wrong! He wiggled his way out from underneath it and went to go do his homework instead.
o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o
The rest of the month went on much the same. Every single time he went outside it would start to rain. Whenever he tried to get a drink from a water fountain, the fountain would implode and water would spill all over the place (It had happened once at school and he had been suspended for "tampering" with school property). The thing he hated most however, was that when he would pass a fire hydrant the plug (AN: I don't remember what its called, so deal 'kay?) would pop off and he'd be sprayed.
He'd been lucky onetime though. When he was passing one one-day, and the plug came off, it missed him and sprayed his sister. That had made his day.
Lying on his bed, he thought idly. I wonder if this is what those weirdoes were talking about when they said havoc…if it is they could've at least told me that it was towards myself…Feh, freaks.
A quiet chuckling could be heard. "Now that isn't very nice."
He pushed himself up slightly and looked at them. "What do you want?" he snapped.
A giggle from the other one, "It is now time for your test. We told you that we would be back in one month. Did you not believe us?
Now…prepare yourself…."

Thanks to all of my reviewers! Without you all I probably would have taken even longer to update! Oh! And a special thanks to YT for the idea helped me out it did.
