Battle-Royalist - Finally! Somebody who understands!
VampireSiren - We've talked about this already so I wont explain anymore.
Sapphiet - Nope, she's gone for good.
Garnet - Nope, she's off with another guy whom I have no idea who.
Destiny - Of course, he'll be in the next chapter.
Guest - Here you go!
Cherilyn - Yes, they're related. In this fic, in Fumiko's real story, they are both students of Kino when she studied to be a yuta.
Shoto94 - :D Glad it did.
I sincerely apologize for not updating for eons. I have college problems (teachers who keep giving chapter tests, pop quiz, Friday quiz, and ass tons of homework) that I barely had time to type my ideas. I swear that I'll do my best to update as soon as possible and I'll make sure they are satisfying enough... and also, do you guys want some HoroRen action?
Onto the fucking crappy fic!

Chapter 25: Opacho's Birthday
Hao's pOv
Monday, that day where school is supposed to start but lucky for us, Fumiko's class schedule doesn't have classes at Mondays. I walked around the halls supervising the dwarfs' activities to make sure none of them are slacking off. It's Opacho's fifth birthday so Yoh and I planned to give her a surprise party. The two novice witches – Mati and Mari – had taken care of keeping Opacho occupied. Mother had joined the demon chef of ours – whom I later learn is the same Ryu who is the chef in Fumiko and Anna's inn –. Fumiko left to buy a gift with Yoh and the fallen angels are helping me in the decorations.
"Are you alright, Hao-sama?" Luchist asked as he saw me looking out the window.
"Ah, just waiting for my mates to come back." I answered and noticed him raised an eyebrow. "Yoh and Fumiko are both my mates."
"Is it allowed?" He inquired as he tied the pennant to the wall.
"Yes as long as we three are fine with it." I confirmed.
I heard him chuckle so I looked at him and he spoke. "It's just; I've known you for not sharing that much but then again this is your twin brother we're talking about."
I smirked and continued arranging the chairs. "Well, Yoh and I are committing incest as humans call it. Not that we sex demons care about that kind of stuff."
"True, most human laws don't really affect us." He agreed switch places to attach another garland of pennants to another wall.
After hours of preparation and arrangements, the foods are all set and the party can start anytime soon. Father, who still plays the role as the king of our race since he's still alive, barked out orders on the dwarfs on what to and not to do in the celebration. I looked out the window one more time and saw Fumiko and Yoh hiding behind the fountain. I tilted my head sideways and raised an eyebrow until I noticed Mati walking with Opacho. When the two left the area, my mates dashed their way in and I immediately opened the window wide. The two jumped in and squeezed me to a rib crushing hug.
"Thank you, Hao!" Fumiko smiled.
"Are we that late?" Yoh asked as he saw everything was already in place.
"Just in time." I said and cocked my head towards the door.
The two followed my gaze and saw Opacho coming in with a black blindfold around her eyes. She was giggling in excitement and tried to reach on something to figure out what's in for her.
"Can Opacho remove the blindfold now?" The African girl inquired.
"Well, everyone hide now." Fumiko coaxed which made us give her questioning looks.
"It's a witch's perk to either 1) search for his/her guests in the room they will celebrate. Whenever she finds one she can give them a dare after the given time limit. 2) Give the celebrant a mystery to solve or 3) give her clues to where you hid your gifts." Mati explained. "She chose the first one when we had talked about it earlier. Usually the time limit is one minute."
"Does Opacho feel comfortable with one minute?" Mari queried in monotony.
"Opacho's fine with it." She giggled again.
"Alright, let's get hiding then." I smirked and we scrammed around to find our own hiding place.
I hid on the top of one of the pillars in the room. I watched as my parents hid behind the curtains obviously making it easy so Opacho won't feel bad. Yoh is hiding inside a big vase and Great Spirit knows how he fit there. The fallen angels hid under each table that had floor touching mantles. The two novice witches hid behind the other vases. The chef is busy – and avoiding Fumiko so he won't get scolded – at the kitchen. I looked for my destined one but I can't find her at all.
"One minute on the clock and…" Fumiko's voice echoed from somewhere announced. "Go!"
Opacho flung her blindfold and head towards the curtains to "capture" my parents. She peeked under the tables and one by one, the fallen angels got out and sit on the chair in front of the huge ass table we had. Opacho then skipped her way to the vases, revealing Mati and Mari. Opacho screamed at one vase which made her voice echo and for Yoh to jump out. The timer rang loudly and Opacho sighed.
"Opacho didn't find waga aruji [1] and Hao-sama." She sighed but smiled.
"You guys can show up now." Mati instructed.
I jumped off the pillar, which surprised most of them. Yoh gave me his 'that's just sneaky' look. I looked around and finally noticed the heavy weight at my back. I turned my head back and saw her tied around my waist. How I did not feel it? I have no fucking idea.
"Am I heavy?" She asked with a grin.
"Not really but it would be nice if you untie yourself now." I smiled back and helped her on untying the rope. I faced Opacho and she beamed at me. "Opacho, who is this waga aruji you're talking about?"
"Fumiko-tan!" She answered honestly.
"They started calling me that after I thought them the basics of magic." My blonde girlfriend explained.
"Can we eat now?" Mati complained which broke the serious atmosphere we created.
"Sure. Let's eat then give Opacho our gifts so she can give us the dare." Yoh decided which everybody agreed on.
We dig in – after Fumiko scolded Ryu for not telling her about his sideline in our family – and have a nice chat. Opacho blurted out her achievements as a witch and that she managed to break her old record of five minutes in astral travels. Just then, the door slammed open and revealed Ren, Horokeu, and Manta.
"Happy Birthday, Opacho!" The Ainu and the human greeted cheerfully.
"Hmm, at least you won't be a midget like Manta." Ren spat.
"Urusai… [2]" Manta groaned.
"Alright! Since you guys are late…" Mati grinned like a Cheshire cat. "Waga aruji, please tell them."
"Well, it's included in the rules of the witch's birthday perk to include the latecomers into the ones to be dared." Fumiko blushed at the mention of being an aruji. "And looks like you three got that privilege."
"Fuck off." Ren growled.
"Oh hell I will." She glared and pulled both me and Yoh towards her. "These two are gonna give me that."
"Che, two-timer." He continued.
"Geez, I can't believe Horohoro managed to survive with you." She continued as we hugged her.
"Shall we begin the dares Opacho have for us?" I smirked at Yoh who smiled nervously.
"My dare for Keiko-san is…"
