Chapter Three
Anna and Hao gulped their glasses of wine until their completely dry. Hao, surprised that Anna could drink quite a lot of wine, was beginning to feel dizzy. It was twelve o' clock midnight, and there's only a few people that stayed in that restaurant.
"Drink up Anna." Hao said with a tiny hiccup. "I'm going to get you drunk tonight."
"You gotta be kidding." Anna replied back while swinging her arms and knocked two bottles of beer carelessly, "I am the one that's going to get you drunk."
Two bottles of wine were placed yet again in their table. Most of the people have left the restaurant, and the only remaining people are those who loved to stay until dawn. Most of them, important-looking adults, were drinking and chatting seriously on their tables.
Hao and Anna had stayed for nearly three and a half hours already. Seven bottles of wine were empty in their table. Both of their eyes were droppy and their faces were pink.
This, however, is not going to stop Hao from getting Anna drunk. You see, the problem with Anna's necklace is that nobody seems to know where Anna hide it whenever she isn't using it. Hao hoped that Anna will tell him everything once she is drunk, and that is exactly why Hao endured all those hours of boredom.
Anna, on the other hand, consider this drinking party as an enjoyment. Ever since she was young, she was prohibited to drink wine as much as she wanted. In fact, Anna had always secretly long to get herself drunk.
"Anna," Hao said as he sleepily blinked his eyes, "Can I ask you something?"
"What?" Anna gulped more of the sweet wine.
"Aren't you supposed to be a girl who should've never tasted alcohol?" Hao blinked stupidly at Anna again. Anna stopped pouring wine for a moment, but manage to regain control of herself again. She slowed her movement and looked at Hao in the eye. Abruptly, she then laughed outloud.
"So that's what you thought all along huh?" Anna said droppily. "I like to drink in my tunnel room."
"You have an underground tunnel in your bedroom?" Hao asked crazily amazed at this afterthought.
"No silly Yoh." Anna said lazily. She then send out another burst of laughter and began to sing 'Marry had a Little Lamb' outloud.
"Anna. . ." Hao pointed at her. "You're drunk aren't you?"
Anna stopped her singing and pointed back at Hao, "You are too right? He he he, both of us are drunk!"
Hao stared at Anna without blinking. This is the moment he longed for. The moment he waited for days. The moment he will be given power.
Exactly when Hao was about to ask Anna about the location of her precious necklace, a voice came from behind him.
"Are you. . . Yoh?"
Hao heard that voice before. . . and it belonged to someone that he quite liked. Hao spunned his head around and standing before him was a nineteen- years-old Ren.
Tall and well-built, Ren was smiling sweetly to both of them before saying, "It is you isn't it? We haven't seen each other for quite a long time, yes?"
"Who are you cute guy?" Anna said with a drunked voice. "Wanna join us for a drink?"
"I think I'll pass for today." Ren shook his head, "Yoh, I think you'd better take care of your fiancee if she is that drunk."
"Hahaha," Hao smiled dryly. He had just lost his chance of question because of this guy. "I guess so. Where were you all these times?"
"I was around in China." Ren said still standing next to Hao. Though Ren had grown, he still have the same look and the same hairstyle (the one with the pointy part ^^). "Since my father's death, I've been the head of the Tao Family. Because of that I'm pretty busy with the news there."
"Oh." Hao replied him as Anna drink more of the wine as though she was very thirsty, "What bring you to Japan?"
Ren remained silent for a while. Hao was looking straight into Ren's eyes, and because of that Ren avoided Hao's stare. "I. . . Japan. . . to look for. . ."
"What?" Hao asked Ren again. Ren's face had already turned pinkish as he was answering.
Still avoiding Hao's eye contact, Ren replied in a much louder voice, "I am here in Japan to look for a girl that is going to marry me one day."
After saying that Ren's face turned bright red. Hao on the other hand, thought nothing is quite new with this. Ren had been old enough to find a wife of his own.
"Is that so?" Hao smiled at him. "Good luck to you then."
Ren shook unconfindently and returned the smile, "Thanks Yoh. I gotta go now alright? I hope you and Anna get along well."
Ren left as Hao waved goodbye at him. Hao stared back at Anna and waited for the right time to question her about the necklace. At the moment when Hao was about to ask Anna a question, Anna stood up and looked at Hao funnily.
"Yoh, can I ask you a question?" Anna smiled goofily at him.
"Sure Anna." Hao looked back at Anna, "What do you want to know?"
"When was the last time you had my special training?" Anna asked.
Hao was quite dazzled with the question. As a matter of fact, as long as Hao pretended to be Yoh, Anna never gave him a special training.
It doesn't matter, Hao convinced himself. Anna is now drunk anyways. I'm sure that if I answered incorrectly, she'll probably say its right.
"Urm. . . Last week right?" Hao took a slight guess and looked at the smiling Anna.
At the moment Hao answered incorrectly, though, Anna's smile faded. She began to look stern and return to her normal posture.
"Game's over Hao." Anna said strongly, "Where have you put my Yoh?"
"I. . . What do you mean?" Hao said uncomfortably.
Anna moved closer to Hao and slapped him in the face. "I'm serious Hao. If I found that you are doing anything bad to my Yoh, I'll go personally to kill you."
Hao was amazed that Anna found out who he really is. "Now tell me where he is?!" Anna nearly shouted. Almost everybody in the restaurant had already looked at her direction.
"I..." Hao hesitated before saying the truth, "He is with my people in the desert. You'll never reach him."
"Is that so?" Anna smiled broadly at Hao, "Well, then you're out of your luck. I've already send Yoh's friends to search in the desert because I thought he would've been there."
Hao couldn't believe it. "How. . .?"
"I don't know what you want from our household, but you're not going to get it Hao!" Anna said as she dusted her clothes, "When I go home, Yoh will be there and you're not going to have another chance to do your evil plots."
Anna picked her purse and steadily walk away from their table. "Thanks for the wine." Anna said shortly before leaving the restaurant.
----------------------------------------------~~---------------------------- ----------------
Hao stared at the nine empty bottles ahead of him. Was he defeated? Did he actually lost his way of getting reincarnated again? Has he lost his chance?
Not yet. Hao lips formed an evil smirk. He was going to use someone to get what he wanted from Anna. Someone who knew Anna, someone who is in desperate need, and someone who is innocent. Hao's smirk broadened. Walking alone in the middle of the silent cold night, Tao Ren sneezed.
