Chapter Six

Ren walked three meters away from Horo Horo on their way home. The sun had already set, and Ren, looking as though he was racing with Horo Horo, moved his feet quickly away from Horo Horo.

Three meters behind Ren, Horo Horo sulked, "Okaaay, Ren. I know it's all my fault! I didn't know it'll turn out to be like that! Sorry alright?~"

Ren sniffed and replied hastily, "You'd better be sorry!" He continued walking before adding coldly, "It was a stupid idea afterall! Putting me in the crowd and embarassing me!"

Horo Horo hung his head down, and said in a low voice, "That's why I said I was sorry, Ren."

Ren did not reply Horo Horo, instead he quickened his pace, making Horo Horo run to catch up with him. For about five minutes, both of the friends walked in silence. It was odd.

"Look Ren," Horo Horo said with an encouraging voice, "I'll make it up to you somehow!"

Ren sniffed again in reply. Because of what happened in the concert, Ren was pretty furious with Horo Horo. Instead of helping him, Horo Horo made a fool of him in front of thousands of people. Ren could just not tolerate it!

Horo Horo made a childish gesture around and spot three girls talking in a cafe. He ran to catch up with Ren, and nudged his shoulder, "Hey Ren, do you see those three girls over there are the cafe?"

Ren walked faster.

As Horo Horo tried to catch up with Ren, Horo Horo pointed at the girls and said in a cheerful voice, "What'll you say if i get one of those girls for you?"

Ren sniffed as loud as he can. Chidlish, really.

Horo Horo, it seems that he misunderstood the meaning of the sniff, went straight to the girls in the cafe and said, "Hello girls."

Ren, watching in horror as his friends approach the cafe, ran as fast as he can and pulled Horo Horo's clothes far away from the girls.

"Horo Horo!" Ren nearly shouted, "Are you outta your mind?! I asked for your help, not some kind of informal meeting with a girl! Do you really think I can make some of these girls to be my wife?!"

Horo Horo hung his head again. "Well sorry. I didn't mean to. . ."

Ren talked back swiftly, "I know you didn't mean to do all these hazardous things, but can't you just help me in a simpler. . ."

Something caught Ren's eyes before he is able to finish that sentence. That particular something was walking along the road, with the light of the sunset still on her face. She was the most beautiful girl in existance!

Ren gulped as he carefully eyed the beautiful, blue-haired girl walking gracefully. Horo Horo, who noticed that Ren was watching the girl, gave his friend a wink and a nudge of his shoulder.

"She's the one isn't she?" Horo Horo whisphered softly.

Ren couldn't even answer Horo Horo's question. He saw the beautiful girl walking, walking towards him.

When the girl was only half a meter away from Ren, she smiled sweetly and said, "Good afternoon. Can you please tell me the way to Southburn Road?" (okaay, you should all realize now that Pilica and Horo Horo aren't brother and sister in this story!!).

Ren gave the girl a fixed gaze. "Er. . . Urm. . . Well, uh. . ." Ren mumbled as he began to glow red. "I, uh. . . urm. . ."

Horo Horo flashed a beautiful smile at the girl as said strongly, "Of course we do! Please let us take you there." Horo Horo paused, then added with a mysterious smile, "It'll be dangerous for a beautiful girl like you to wonder around when it's dark."

The girl smiled ever so sweetly, and said her thanks.

Horo Horo and the girl constantly talk about certain topics, while Ren was standing beside Horo Horo. . . unable to open his mouth.

"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Pilica." Pilica said with her never-ending smile.

"I'm Horo Horo." Horo Horo pointed at himself with his thumb, "And this is my bestfriend, Ren!"

Horo Horo gave Ren a small wink with his left eye. Horo Horo is the type of guys that like winks.

They walked for a couple of minutes, Horo Horo and Pilica chatting brightly, until they reach Southburn Road.

"Thank you so much Horo Horo." Pilica smiled again to Horo Horo, before turning to the pink Ren. "And thank you sooo much too Ren!"

Pilica allowed the coming wind to brush her blue sparkling hair as she turn away from the two of them, and come walking down the Southburn Road.

Along the road, she smiled sweetly. But when she reached the furthest corner fo the road, her smile turn into a smirk.

"Job well done, Pilica." Hao stood at the top of a streetlamp, cloaked in black robes.

"Everything is as you wish, Hao-sama." Pilica said with a bow.

Without Ren knowing, the love potion that Hao made has been placed in his meal many times, making him invulnarable to Pilica alone.

The two evil doers laughed manically, sounding just like a duet.

"Pilica, tomorrow you will see him again." Hao added maliciously, "And tell him to drop by that Itako's (Anna) house."

"As Hao-sama wish." Pilica stood below the streetlamp, bowing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------

Blushing Ren mumbled to Horo Horo that he loved the girl at first sight. Horo Horo, being a good friend as he always is, encouraged Ren that he should visit the girl tomorrow.

Ren changed to his pajamas, but before he agreed to Horo Horo's suggestion. . . Ren sneezed loudly.
