Chapter Seven!!!!
It was raining hard when Ren and Horo Horo arrived in Asakura's house. It has been quite a long time for Horo Horo since their last meeting, but they still kept slight contact with phones.
Horo Horo gulped as Ren stepped closer into the Asakura's doorway, and nodded slowly as Ren glanced at him for confirmation. Seeing Horo Horo's nod, Ren knocked the door sternly for three times.
The reaction was not immediate. A stirring sound made from behind the wooden doors, indicating that somebody is walking closer to Ren and Horo Horo. At this time, Ren and Horo Horo glanced at each other again.
"Who is it?" It was clear that the voice belonged to Asakura Yoh.
"It's me. . ." Ren paused before immediately answering, "Tao Ren, and here is also Horo Horo."
After Ren's reply, the door swung instantly open. Yoh, who appeared just as the door opened, brightened his face and said in a cheerful voice, "You guys! How have I wanted to see you in all these years!"
Ren and Horo Horo smiled weakly at their friend's cheerful attitude.
"Come in, you people!" Yoh said as he welcomed his friends, "Whoa, you're all soaked with the rain. Why don't you take some time to get dry?"
Ren continued his weak smile and thanked Yoh graciously, "Thanks a lot Yoh." Ren paused after a thought, "But didn't we see each other just a while ago in the restaurant?"
"Um. . ." Yoh's face turned uncomfortable. "That was actually Hao pretending to be me."
Horo Horo, seemed very shocked with this news, decided to change the topic as fast as he could, "By the way, Yoh, is Anna still around?"
Yoh turned to Horo Horo and beamed sweetly, "Horo Horo!! How long since we actually seen each other?!"
"It has been quite a while Yoh!" Horo Horo said as he walked into one room that Yoh showed them. "Probably five years."
"Heheh." Yoh placed on his usual grin, before turning back at the room. "Use this room to dry yourself alright? I've got to tell Anna that you guys are dropping by!"
Ren doubted and said, "It's alright. We'll tell Anna ourselves once we're dry. Why don't you stay with us and chat for a while?"
Yoh stopped midway from his gesture to exit the room, and grinned again. "Alright then. Anna is still watching the movies anyways, and she don't like being disturbed when she is watching a movie."
"Still the same old Anna huh?" Horo Horo said back to Yoh.
"Heheh, yup. Still the same old Anna." Replied Yoh casually.
Horo Horo and Yoh chatted evenly as Ren brushed warmed towel over his wet hair. There was actually a particular reason why he and Horo Horo visited Yoh's house. Pilica, Ren's believed soulmate, said that she agreed to be Ren's wife if Ren were to present her with a beautiful necklace.
It so happened that the necklace that Pilica wanted is Itako no Anna's precious 1080 beads necklace.
Ren sighed as he remembered that he stupidily agree with Pilica, and said that he would bring to Pilica her beloved gift. What's going on with himself? How come he seemed to be so weak against Pilica? Horo Horo, being a great friend as he always is, decided to help Ren to get Anna's necklace.
"So what do you think about this Ren?" Yoh asked as he turned his head towards Ren. "Ren?"
Ren blinked slowly before turning his head straight to Yoh, "What? Oh, I'm sorry, I was thinking about certain things."
Horo Horo smiled gently, "Thinking about your girl, Ren?"
Ren quickly returned to Horo Horo, "Shuddap will ya?!"
Horo Horo and Yoh laughed loudly as Ren stumbled back to his chair, continueing his deep thoughts about stealing Anna's necklace.
"So now that we're all dry and warm," Horo Horo said as he pointed at the door, "Why don't we visit your fiancee?"
Yoh flipped his head backwards to the clock that is posted on the wall. "Sure, Anna's movie should end pretty much about now anyways." Yoh said as he opened the door that lead into the long passageway of his house.
Horo Horo laughed outloud and chased Yoh, followed by Ren in the furthest back. Ren was still confused about the things that he is supposed to do. Even though he and Horo Horo and made quite a great plan to steal this precious necklace from Anna, there was still some doubt in the depths of Ren's heart. To do it or not? Ren closed his eyes tightly, unable to think more.
Yoh opened the paper door into a small room. In the middle of the room, Anna was watching a movie. . . her back on the floor while eating some crackers.
"Anna, Ren and Horo Horo's here." Yoh said as he entered the room noiselessly.
"Welcome." Anna said shortly without lifting her gaze from the television.
"You've never changed, huh Anna?" Horo Horo said with the sweetest smile he can ever make. "Always the big lady boss in this household!"
"You changed a lot right Horo Horo?" Anna asked toneless, "Seeing you almost undressed in the television last night really makes me confused."
Horo Horo laughed dryly at Anna's words. They were sharp.
"Urm," Ren said as he stepped closer into Anna. He nearly gave a small gasp when he saw the sparkly pearled 1080 necklace hanging on Anna's neck. "Hello Anna."
Exactly after Ren said that, Anna abruptly stood up and stretch. The surprised Ren took a step back and gave her a dazzled face.
"Hello Ren." Anna said after she had stretched. She turned to Yoh. "Yoh, the movie's over and I'm really hungry. Why don't you fix me dinner, dear?"
Yoh nodded as he shrugged his shoulders to Horo Horo. Yoh left the room without much noise, leaving the three of them behind.
"So," Anna said as she gestured Ren and Horo Horo to sit down along with her. "What bring all of you people here?"
Anna was, it seemed unreal, smiling at the two of them. She poured tea into three cups and gave the two of them one each.
"We were actually dropping by because we wanted to. . ." Horo Horo said slowly and cautiously.
Anna stared at the two of them without blinking. Horo Horo gazed awkwardly at Ren, who looked seriously at Anna.
"We," This time Ren was the one who spoke, "We wanted something from you Anna. Could you please give it to us?"
Anna remained motionless for a moment, before she broke down with a long dreadful sigh. "I knew it all along."
Ren's eyes widened. "You knew it all along?"
"Yes." Anna stood up again, laying her hands on her necklace. "This 1080 Beads necklace right?"
Ren knew that this is the time to really ask for it, or lose Pilica forever. "Please Anna, can you please give it to us?"
Anna smiled kindly at them, "You don't realize that you are under a spell, Ren?"
Horo Horo gulped after all the tension, "Huh? What are you talking about Anna?"
Anna turned her kind smile to Horo Horo, "This Ren is under a love spell. He will do anything for that girl, wouldn't you Ren?"
Ren was shocked momentarily. When he regained much of his former self, he replied. "You mean. . . I was bluffed?"
"Take this necklace," Anna took her necklace off and handed it to Ren.
"Anna. . .?" Ren and Horo Horo were both speechless.
Anna remained silent for a couple of minutes before rummaging her pockets and picked out a bottle of blue liquid, "Also give the girl that you love this blue potion. You two should be quite a lovely couple if it weren't interfered by that troublesome Hao."
The bafled Ren thanked Anna thrice before placed those two precious items into his pockets. He was, at last, relieved from this matter.
That night Horo Horo and Ren stayed for the evening in the Asakura House. That night Ren dreamed of Pilica.
