A/N: Hell Yeah I decided to update early but with a little changes in this chapter.

It's a bit long too. Enjoy. ^^

Disclaimer:I don't own SK. :))

Michiko and Hao stood outside of the patch inn motionless. The silence was deafening. Both were quiet and lost in their own thoughts. What am I doing? I feel like a girl! she thought. She hasn't said a word since we got out. Is there a problem? he thought. She jerked her head in his direction.

"Let's go!" she said with a calm but authoritative voice & started walking towards a restaurant.

He was surprised by with her tone and only stared at her. She stopped walking to looked over her shoulder and arched her eyebrows in irritation. Why is she angry all of a sudden? hethought. He started walking towards her. She didn't even waited for him to catch up and began walking again, but was stopped when he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to him.

"Stop. What's the matter?" he asked, still holding onto her wrist.

"First of all...OUCH! What the hell was that for?! Secondly, what do you mean?" she scowled at him, while trying to remove his grasp on her.

"I asked you first so don't go asking me." he sighed. "Tell me what's going on in that head of yours and why you're acting this way."

"Nothing. I'm fine so let's go." she retorted.

"Fine don't tell me." he released her and walked past her.

He really wanted to know but didn't push her. He didn't want to get into an argument with her so early in the morning besides he's quite sure she'll tell him because he always gets what he wants...always. She followed him and walked towards the nearby restaurant. When they finally got inside everyone kept staring at them, they got scared because of Hao's presence.

"Let me guess...they're afraid of the all mighty Hao Asakura?" she snorted.

He narrowed his eyes at her for a second, Is she testing my patience?, before smiling.

"Are you bipolar?" he asked calmly.

"HUH?!" she jerked her head to his direction.

"You change your mood suddenly without enough reason, that's a disease you know." he smirked.

"Damn it at you pissing me off?!" she exclaimed.

Her voice was heard all over the place and everyone stared at her with wide eyes. They feared for her life and waited for Hao to just burn her right there or something. She just threw a fit at him for goodness sake, does she have a death wish? To everyone's surprise he didn't get mad or burn her but just laughed at her instead.

"I guess that's what hunger do to people huh..." he placed his hand on his chin and looked up, pretending to think.

She frowned at him, "Yeah I guess I'm just hungry..." she shook her head in embarrassment.

She hated being stared at and yet here she is standing with everyone staring. All the while his companion just kept standing there chuckling and pretending to be oblivious to the attention they're getting. I guess he's used to this kind of attention... she thought.

"Let's just take a seat." she murmured.

He stopped laughing to smile at her, and looked around the restaurant, he notice his brother within the crown sitting with his friends.

"Let's sit over there." he pointed at the table next to his brother.

She looked at to where he was pointing and nodded. She started walking towards the table, then she noticed Yoh and his friends.

"Yoh!" she called out to him smiling.

"Hey." He smiled warmly.

His friends stared at them curiously. Anna glanced at her for a moment them resumed eating.

"You know her?" Ryu asked Yoh.

"Yeah she's..."

"...my friend" Hao interjected.

She was startled when he was suddenly beside her, his arms wrapped around her waist. She just stood there blushing.

"Let's go." He winked at her and carried her to their table.

Everyone's eyes went wide at the gesture. Michiko was opening and closing her mouth in a fish like manner when he put her down on the couch.

"What's wrong?" he smiled.

She stared at him with a frown, "Was that really necessary? "

"What?" he asked, obviously.

"You know what I'm talking about. Don't act stupid." She looked away.

He just chuckled, and waited for her to speak again.

"Damn it, fine ignore me…" she muttered.

"What are getting so upset about?"

She jerked her head to his direction, "Why did you carried me here? I would've walked you know." She retorted.

"Of course you can…that's why you didn't make it here in the first place." He said, sarcastically.

"What are you getting at?" she narrowed her eyes at him.

He smiled and sat beside her and pulled her to him, "I don't like it how you smile at my brother and throw a fit at me. It makes me jealous." He whispered into her ear.

She flinched and stared at him in shock, her mouth slightly open. He chuckled at her expression and stood up to sit across her.

"Shall we order?" he asked.

She wanted to sat something but couldn't manage to.

"I was just kidding okay?" he stated, blandly.

She stared at him for a while before speaking, "You idiot!"

He just shrugged his shoulders and called the waiter. The waiter came with the menu and gave it to them. Michiko ordered everything on the menu and smirked at Hao.

He smiled and at her and said "I want everything too."

The waiter's eyes widened for a second before he nodded and left.

"I didn't think a girl could eat that much."

"I can eat as much as I want." she replied proudly.

"Oh so you don't care if you get fat? I heard girls are pretty conscious when it comes to that..." he smirked.

She narrowed her eyes at him, "Well I'm not your average girl, I don't care about stuffs like that."

When the waiter came with their food they just sat across each other and ate quietly. Yoh's friends were curious of the two's relationship so they kept watching them, but couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Damn... It's like watching a soap opera with a mute TV." Horo muttered.

"Yeah, you're absolutely right about that." Ryu agreed.

"This is boring I can't hear them..." Chocolove pouted.

"I wonder who that girl is..." Manta murmured.

"You guys...I already told you who she is." Yoh said.

"Of course you did, but what we want to know is..." Ren started to say.

"...If she has a boyfriend already? Cuz if she doesn't, I'll apply." Ryu interrupted with a sly grin.

They all stared at him for a second then looked back to Ren.

"Idiot." Manta muttered.

"As I was saying." He coughed, "What we wanted to know is her relationship to Hao."

They looked at Yoh and waited for his answer.

"Well.. he told me and Anna that Michiko is his friend." Yoh scratched his head, "That's all I know."

"You do know that Hao doesn't make friends especially with a HUMAN!" Ren frowned at him.

The group continued eating while watching the two. When the people at the restaurant finally quiet down and minded their own business, the X-laws suddenly walked in.

"There he is!" Marco pointed in Hao's direction.

Everyone at the restaurant looked up to see Marco glaring at Hao, while the two seems to be oblivious of their presence. They began walking towards him. Yoh saw this and stood up to meet them halfway.

"Move it Asakura you're not the one we came here for." Marco sneered at him.

"Yeah we don't want to hurt you Yoh." Lyzerg interjected.

Yoh refused to let them pass, his friends shortly joined him.

"Seriously this is a restaurant, why can't you just look for trouble somewhere else." Ren rolled his eyes.

Marco ignored his comment, "What's this I thought you were against your brother, but now your protecting him." he arched an eyebrow.

"I'm not. I just don't want you to fight. He's not even doing anything, he's just having his breakfast. Yoh sighed and scratched his neck.

While the two groups were busy discussing, Michiko noticed what was happening, and stood up. Hao stopped her from walking over to them.

"Don't go."

She looked at him, "Why not they're so noisy."

He chuckled, "So that's why your going over there to tell them they're noisy?"

She nodded. He let go of her and watched her as she walked towards the group. She had a terrible frown in her face while she approached them, the other people in the restaurant noticed her and got startled with her expression. The two groups were still busy bickering and didn't notice her standing behind Ren.

"Will you guys just shut it?!" she shouted.

They got startled and turned to look at her.

"Some people are trying to eat peacefully you know." she glared at Marco.

"And who the hell are you?!" Marco shouted back.

"Just a random customer at this restaurant telling you to shut up." she smirked at him.

"W-Why you!" he exclaimed.

"Stop it Marco." The Iron Maiden opened and showed Jeanne. "I'm sorry about Marco's behavior."

"Whoa! There's a person inside!" Michiko exclaimed pointing at Jeanne.

"Hello. I'm Jeanne but I'm known as Iron Maiden Jeanne." She smiled.

"Uh. Hi, I'm Michiko."

"Forgive my comrades' rude behavior, but we just wanted to pass." Jeanne said.

Michiko turned to face Yoh, "Hey... I didn't know your such a bully. Why don't you want to let them pass." She stated.

Yoh laughed lightly, "Because if I did they'll disturb your date with my brother." he whispered.

"WHAT?!"

Everyone in the restaurant stared at her, including Hao. He was laughing at her, he didn't need to be there to know what made her react that way because he can read his brother's thoughts. The X-laws got curious as to what Yoh said to her to make her shout like that. Yoh's friends drew their heads together to listen at they conversation.

"Why? Wasn't it like that between the two of you?" he whispered.

"N-N-No! I-It's not!" she blushed deep red.

"Oh.. I thought..."

"Yay! So Michiko-chan is still single!" Ryu intervened and took her hand to his, "Please be mine!"

She gasped and stared at him in shock. Hororhoro knocked him out and dragged him back to their seat.

The X-laws saw the opportunity and walked pass them while they were busy chatting. They made there way to Hao. He was already facing them, smiling.

"This better be good, because your disturbing my breakfast."

"Hao!" They said, loathing.

"What? So you came all this way just to say my name." He smirked.

"Why are you here? Demons like you shouldn't be allowed in here!" Marco shouted.

"Like I said I'm having my breakfast. Weren't you the one making a big fuss earlier?" he raised an eyebrow. "I think you're more qualified to be kicked out here that I am."

They continued bickering over at Hao's table. Michiko had enough of Yoh & his friends' teasing and started to walk back to her table, and saw the X-laws shouting at Hao. He was just sitting there calmly while being shouted at which pissed her. She rushed there and stood in front of him facing the X-laws.

Marco glared at her, "What do you think you're doing?!"

"I should say the same for you!" she shouted.

"My...How unlikely of you to hide behind a girl's back." Marco looked at Hao.

She looked back to Hao and saw him frown, but didn't say anything. Michiko called for the waiter and told them about Marco shouting at them. The waiter called for the guard to let them out, but they were already leaving when the guard arrived. Michiko sat down, frowning.

"What's up with those guys?" She asked.

"Well...every celebrity has their haters." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Celebrity?" She laughed. "With all the attention you're getting I guess you could say that."

A/N: I ended up putting the X-laws here even if I hate them.

Especially Marco lol. XP

I don't know if I made Hao too OOC..
