Chapter 4

Meeting the Gang

The next morning, the sun was shining through her window as the clock read 9:30a.m. Hisayo showered and changed her clothes and then walked downstairs, Kiba and Jacob followed closely behind. She stood in the door way and saw who she had assumed to be Yoh's friends. Manta was cooking in the kitchen. The two who were arguing got quiet and turned their attention to her. The one who looked like 'astro-boy' spoke, "Yoh, who is that?" as he glared at her. "Yeah Yoh, this girl's pretty cute, who is she?" said the boy with blue hair. But before Yoh could answer, a guy with a silly looking hair-do already walked over to her and about hugged her to death after he heard the words 'cute' and 'girl'. "I found her! I found my true love Master Yoh!" said the guy with the odd hair.

"*gasp* *wheeze* Losing oxygen…darkness." Hisayo said as her face turned blue and gasped for air.

Yoh appeared in the room, "Sorry Ryu, but she's already taken." He said laughing, everyone looked at him, even catching Anna's attention even though she was in the other room watching TV. But before Yoh could say anything again, Manta shouted from the kitchen, "That's Yoh's new girlfriend!" Everyone's jaw dropped, making Yoh blush a very deep red. Then, the one who looked like 'astro-boy" broke the silence, "Is this true Yoh?" Yoh laughed nervously and said, "Yeah." Causing everybody to fall over anime-style, thus making Ryu let go of Hisayo. As she gasped for air, she got up and properly introduced herself and her family. "My name is Hisayo, it's nice to meet you guys, and this is my mother, Kayoko, my brother, Toshio, and my 3 wolves, Kiba, Jacob and Banzai…and please no more hugs for a while." She said giggling. Kiba and Jacob wagged their tails, while Banzai, Kayoko and Toshio floated next to her.

"Cool with me. I'm Horohoro and shorty over here is Ren." Said Horohoro, also introducing Ren too. Obviously, being called, "shorty" made Ren mad and he and Horohoro started fighting again until Manta called them for breakfast. Later during the day, Hisayo helped Yoh with his training by supporting and motivating him. He ran 4 miles with weights tied to his arms and legs, do exactly 350 sit-ups, mop the floor and pick up groceries. "Aww Anna, is that really necessary?" Yoh whined, "Of course it is, now get going or I'll assign more!" Anna snapped. Yoh sighed and put on a pair of clean clothes and put his hair in a spiky pony-tail, and then left the house to go to the super market. Hisayo couldn't help but to think that Anna was too hard on him, as she went upstairs to unpack her things. She had a nice sized room, she has enough closet space and her Japanese-style futon was nice and cozy. She enjoys staying with Yoh and his friends very much, but she didn't think that she and Anna would get along, Anna was in love with Yoh, but he loves Hisayo. Anna was just jealous that he picked her over Anna. But she didn't blame him; at least she doesn't assign an outrageous amount of chores per day and top it with harsh training enough to make his legs fall off. She was still a little nervous about this guy that he was going to fight tomorrow. Once she finished unpacking, she fed Kiba and Jacob, then she heard a familiar voice. "Excuse me, would you mind telling me why you're unpacking?" it was Ren, to answer said question, "I live here now, didn't Yoh tell you? It would also explain why I was here late last night too." She replied. He watched her get up, "Are you really dating Yoh?" he asked a bit curious. Hisayo nodded her head answering yes. Ren walked to her and circled her while looking at her up and down, as if inspecting her.

"I see Yoh hasn't mad a bad choice, although he could do much better." He retorted, Hisayo looked at him with a puzzled look, "umm…Thank you?" she said. He chuckled and walked out the door. She, Kiba and Jacob didn't follow far behind, on her way downstairs, she heard things like, 'pin-head', and 'make me' and 'oh no you don't' and 'at least my mouth doesn't stay open 24/7'. She automatically knew that Horohoro and Ren were at it again, she went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. "Excuse me, since you live here from now on, you might want to get into the habit of cleaning, so hop to it!" Anna snapped at her. This caused Ryu and Manta to see what she was going to say to Anna, obviously picking a fight with Hisayo. She just calmly looked at her and said, "You are not my mother…"

Horohoro snickered, "Daaang, she told you." He said. Ren smirked. "I sense tension between Hisayo and Anna, and things aren't going to be pleasant." Said Ryu, "Do you know who you are talking to little girl?" Anna said stepping up to her, glaring at her. "Yes, as a matter of fact I do know who I'm talking to, a certain chick with horrible fashion sense, huge feet, and a chest as flat as cardboard." Hisayo said which obviously made Anna furious. "Uh oh, I sense a fight, what would the chief do at a time like this?" Ryu said while thinking really hard.

Anna raised a hand in attempt to slap Hisayo, but Kiba and Jacob block Hisayo from each side, and growled at Anna, showing all of their teeth. Black hair quickly wrapped around her wrist, stopping Anna from trying to strike her. Kayoko was responsible for the action, and she looked at her with anger and hate. "You will not touch my daughter…" she said. Anna just scoffed and said, "Humph! Whatever. Just stay out of my way!" and left the room as Kayoko, Kiba and Jacob watched her every movement. "Thanks mom, Kiba and Jacob." Said Hisayo. Their anger dimmed and Kayoko vanished and Ka and Jacob calmed down.

Manta and Horohoro were hugging each other with looks on their faces like, "That was scary!" Then Yoh came home.
