I have got to finish this story…And thank you to those that reviewed me!
Everyone was watching another shaman fight but it was the X-Laws. The gang told Shiow and her team about them already but they were awfully interested inLyserg.
After the battle, Shiow and her team went grocery shopping.
"Tell me why we're doing this?" Chris asked who was lagging behind carrying two bags.
"Because my Horo Horo needs to eat!" said Kira who seems to have enough energy and strength to carry four bags instead of two.
"Are you serious?" Chris asked,
"Well, there's that, and Anna made me do it," said Shiow also carrying two.
"Don't let her boss you around," said Chris.
"Actually, she didn't order me, she just said something about learning how to be a housewife or something like that because she says I don't know a thing about being a lady," said Shiow.
"Well she's got that right," said Chris (SMACK!)
"I was kidding!" he exclaimed.
"But Chris and Anna are right, you don't even know how to cook!" said Kira with her usual smile.
"Your point?" Shiow asked,
"You don't know how to cook!" Kira said again.
The three walked until they saw a certain green-haired boy sitting on a bench.
"Hey it's that X-Law boy," said Kira,
"Lyserg," said Chris.
"Yeah, that was his name," said Kira. Lyserg looked up at the three standing in font of him and his face grew serious.
"You're with Yoh aren't you?" he asked,
"Yeah," Shiow answered.
"HOW CUTE!" Kira exclaimed out of no where and went closer to Morphin (Cloe) who was just flying around Lyserg.
"How pretty," she said.
"She's better looking than your spirits," said Chris.
"SAY WHAT? TAKE THAT BACK!" Kira shouted at him.
"I heard about you, Lyserg, you're just a confused shaman. I know your story and that you hate Hao but do you think killing others makes you better than Hao himself?" Shiow asked,
"What? Did you just compare me with Hao? WHAT ABOUT YOU? I've heard that you don't even try to hurt Hao whenever he's near you, for all we know, you might be on his side!" said Lyserg angrily.
"If I attack back, he'll kill me! If not, my friends!" Shiow argued back.
"That's what the X-Laws are for, we are good and we will do everything within our power to destroy Hao!"
"Revenge isn't everything," said Chris.
"Well in this case it is!"
"I heard you were a sweet boy and a true gentleman," said Kira.
"Um, that was before he joined the X-Laws and that tin can girl!" said Chris and smirked.
"How dare you insult Lady Jeanne!"
"Because I want to," said Chris.
"Chris, stay off his nerves," said Shiow putting an arm in front of him.
"If Yoh can't change you, then no one but you can," said Shiow.
"We will end this, Hao will be destroyed!"
"Yeah, I know he will, but not by the X-laws," said Shiow and picked up her bags and continued walking with her friends following.
"You're so harsh," said Kira to Shiow following.
"I am?" Shiow asked surprised.
That night, Yoh and the others along with Kira had to leave for something leaving Shiow Ying and Chris at Anna's mercy.
"I don't understand why I'm doing this again," said Shiow trying to cook up a meal.
"I'll explain to you later and it's for your own good," said Anna reading a magazine.
"If you wish, but only because you said this is for Yoh," said Shiow cutting some vegetables.
Chris watched Shiow and smirked as well as try to hold in his laugh.
"Chris, take over the chopping for Shiow while she does the real cooking," said Anna.
"WHAT? Why?"
"Because you're not doing anything! Now go!"
"Oh man…" Chris grumbled as he took over the chopping and started cutting the vegetables really fast.
"Why can't you cook back when we needed food?" Shiow asked,
"Because I don't like to cook," Chris answered,
"But you're good at it," said Shiow,
"It's not my fault I was forced to learn. You're stirring wrong! Do it like this!" said Chris as he puts his hand over Shiow's and showed her how to stir the right way.
"I was doing that!"
"No you weren't!"
"Yes I was!"
"No you weren't!"
"Can you two just shut up before you burn something!" Anna shouted breaking up the argument.
Later that night after about 5 hours of trying to have Shiow prepare dinner with 'help' from Chris, the dinner was ready. Everyone got together to eat a home cook meal.
"Uh, I hope it isn't too terrible," said Shiow putting the last plate of food down.
Yoh, Horo, and Kira were eating like they usually do.
"GOOD!" the three shouted.
Chris and Shiow sighed in relief. Then the two joined them.
After dinner, the gang started doing small trainings outside.
Then all of a sudden, Ren started coughing hard and groaning while clutching his stomach.
"Ren, are you alright?" C.L. asked.
"…No…" he groaned and fell over.
"REN!" everyone exclaimed.
Faust finished treating him,
"He got food poisoning, but he'll be alright now," said Faust.
Shiow looked down on the ground, knowing it was her fault.
"Ren probably thinks I did that on purpose," she thought.
A couple of hours later, Ren was up and the first thing he did was find Shiow and punish her.
"I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE I SWEAR!" Shiow shouted as she ran around the building with Ren behind her with his Kwan Do ready to kill along with a very angry look.
"FIRST YOUR FAMILY STARTS A FUED WITH MINE AND THEN YOU TRY TO KILL ME WITH YOUR HORRIBLE COOKING?" Ren shouted gaining speed.
"MY FAMILY DIDN'T START THE FUED, YOURS DID! AND DID YOU JUST CALL MY COOKING HORRIBLE?" Shiow shouted behind her but isn't going to risk getting her head cut off because she can't run fast enough so she has no intention of slowing down.
The others were sitting and watching them run around.
"Oh look! They're becoming friends!" said Yoh laughing.
"FRIENDS?" everyone else exclaimed.
"Do you think we should stop this?" Tamao asked worriedly.
"They'll be fine! Look at how they're enjoying themselves!" said Yoh watching the two run back and forth.
"I can't really see them enjoying themselves," said Horo.
"I'm sure Master Yoh is right. Maybe they are enjoying themselves but they won't show it," said Ryu.
"Yes, he is. I can tell that Master Ren is enjoying himself. It reminds me when he was young, he used to play tag with Shiow all the time before their families split them up," said Bason wiping anime tears away.
"Ren playing tag?" Chris asked who can't really imagine that.
"Hey look! Banana!" C.L. exclaimed showing everyone a banana.
"…………"
"If Spiky lands a scratch on Shiow I'll give him a bigger scratch! You hear that Spiky? Yeah! I'm talking to you, Spiky! Uh oh…" Kira dashed off with Ren following close behind her.
Shiow slowly walked over to the others and sat down.
"I gotta thank her for getting him off my back," she said panting.
"Don't be so sure, she's coming towards you," Chris warned and leaned back on the ground. Shiow looked over and Chris was right, Kira was heading right towards her.
"Oh man…" she groaned and got up to run again knowing Kira isn't going to be turning away from her whatsoever.
"How long do you think they can run?" Pirika asked.
"Most likely, a long time," said Anna.
"I'm surprised that Ren has recovered this quickly and still have the strength to chase angrily," said Faust.
Kira ducked over to a tree and used one of her spirits to hide underground. Shiow tripped over a tree trunk and Ren tripped over her and fell on top of her.
"Ow… you're heavy," Shiow groaned.
"Excuse me? I am not heavy!" Ren exclaimed.
"I think you are, get off my back please," Shiow asked obviously feeling some pain. Ren took pity and got off even though he was tempted to sit on her back for a few hours.
"Thanks," she said standing and dusting herself.
"Whatever," said Ren.
"So um, sorry about my 'horrible cooking' that got you knocked out for a while," said Shiow looking away from him.
"Hn, you should be! But, it wasn't that bad that I would consider it 'horrible.' If you tried Horo Horo's attempt at cooking, you have the right to call that horrible," said Ren and a smirk appeared on his lips.
"Is that your way of saying that's it's cool between us?" Shiow asked looking back at him.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? I'M SORRY OR SOMETHING?" Ren shouted at her.
"Well, that would be nice, Ren-Ren but if it's not your style than that's find with me," said Shiow.
"…What. Did. You. Call. Me?" Ren asked with a pause between each word. His hair seemed to have grown a few inches higher and a very big anime vein appeared. Ren gripped his weapon tighter and was ready to use it.
"I guess you don't like being called Ren-Ren anymore so I'll be going…" said Shiow and dashed off towards her friends.
"YOU GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT AGAIN!" Ren shouted going after her.
That night, after about a 2 mile run to escape Ren's wrath, Shiow collapsed on the hard bed.
"Yoh…" she whispered out loud.
"What about Yoh?" Chris asked and Shiow jumped.
"CHRIS!"
"What?" Chris asked and sat on his own bed.
"Don't sneak up on me like that!" Shiow covered up while blushing.
"So…I wasn't supposed to hear you say 'Yoh' before you go to sleep?" Chris asked acting like he really doesn't know what's going on with Shiow.
"No…" Shiow grumbled.
"Oh? Maybe I should let Yoh know that-"
"Don't you dare say anything to him!" Shiow exclaimed and leapt at him to tackle him down.
Shiow was trying to strangle him (not literally) and the door opened to reveal Yoh.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked and the two stopped and detached their grip from each other.
"Nothing," they answered quickly.
"Well, if I'm interrupting anything, I can go," said Yoh.
"No you weren't! You actually came at a good time," said Shiow and glared at Chris threatening him to keep his mouth shut. Chris ignored it.
"Actually, anytime would be a good time for Shiow whenever you're here," said Chris. Shiow threw a nearby book at him with an anime vein.
"Well…okay then! Shiow, want to go out for a midnight snack?" Yoh asked cheerfully.
"But it's not even midnight, its 9:30," said Shiow pointing at a clock.
"Still, you want to go out for a snack?" Yoh asked again.
"Well…"
"She'd love to," said Chris sitting on his bed watching closely at their reactions.
"CHRIS!"
"Is that a no?" Yoh asked.
"Well, no! I mean, well-"
"She would love to!" said Kira who seemed to have appeared out of no where and started shoving Shiow out the door.
"What the? Kira!"
"You're going to thank me for this, trust me," Kira whispered.
"That's what I'm worried about…" Shiow whispered.
"What?" Kira asked angrily and with one last shove, Shiow was out the door and into Yoh as Kira slammed the door shut.
"Ow…I'm sorry, Yoh," said Shiow getting herself off him.
"Oh that's okay!" he said and got him.
Shiow looked away from him and kept her head down so her hair would cover her blush.
"Stupid feelings! These feelings are what's making me do stupid things! I mean, how many times have I actually tripped over something just because I was watching him walk? Yoh's engaged! Why am I acting like this when I know that he's already has a tough future wife? Besides…the Asakura family is a line of Japanese shamans. So the sooner I get Yoh out of my head, the better!"
"Hello? Anyone there? Hey!"
Shiow snapped out of her thoughts.
"Uh…yes Yoh?" she asked while still keeping her gaze off him,
"Of course, it's easier said than done…"
"I wonder if Shiow will tell him how she feels," said Kira and laid down a card. She and Chris were sitting on opposite sides of the bed playing cards.
"It won't be tonight that's for sure. She's too stubborn and besides, she's going to make it really obvious for Yoh anyway," said Chris and laid down a card of his own.
"How?" Kira asked looking from her cards to him,
"Do know how easy it is to make her turn red from embarrassment?" Chris asked.
"No."
"You're an idiot. And also, how's your crush? Ping Ping Pong Pong?" Chris asked, teasing her.
"HORO HORO!" Kira exclaimed correcting him.
"Did someone call me?" Horo asked, with Kororo behind him, opening the door to see Kira's hands around Chris's neck.
"Nothing!" she said and withdrew her hands letting Chris breathe. He gasped for breath.
"You're dangerous you know that?" said Chris. He looked over at Horo.
"Never stayin the same room with her!" he warned.
"Hey!" Kira hits him and the two got into an anime fist fight. Horo and Kororo sweat drops.
"Almost there…" said Hao in a whisper watching Yoh give Shiow a cheeseburger.
