Chapter Eight
The jacuzzi felt great as Ren plunged his whole body into the steamy pool of water. Tomorrow will be the day when he would meet Pilica, and he is already so eager to greet her. What can Ren do, even if he already know that he is under a love spell?
"Man," Horo Horo said as he entered the smoky room, already dressed for his afternoon relaxation, "You should watch out for that Anna. I was wrong about the fact that she doesn't change at all."
Ren looked up at his friend, "What are you talking about Horo Horo? She doesn't seem like she changed a whole lot."
Horo Horo gave Ren a look of desperation. "You wouldn't believe how terribly cunning she is." Horo Horo stepped into the warm water and let out a long sigh. He hadn't been able to take his relaxation time in the past few days because Ren had needed his help.
Ren let the conversation end like that. Although Ren doesn't realize what was so cunning about Anna, Ren had never liked to talk that much. If there was something that is not that significant that Ren doesn't understand, it would be better to leave the conversation to rest.
"Oh Ren," Horo Horo said as he opened his closed eyes in a flash, "Did you keep the things Anna gave you? The potion and the necklace. . ."
"Yeah," Ren said, this time not looking at Horo Horo, "I have them in my room. . . Anna told me to keep it safe before I meet Pilica."
"Right." Horo Horo said with finality tone and went back to close his eyes.
Horo Horo had always enjoyed his time in the jacuzzi, and normally wouldn't let anyone disturb him. This time though, after spending only about ten minutes in the jacuzzi, a machanic alarm beeped.
"Intruder alert!" the alarm sounded, "Intruder Alert!"
Horo Horo shot his glance immediately at the alarm, which had shone bright red. "This is bad Ren." Horo Horo said as he immediately snatched a towel and dry himself. "Go and put on your clothes, we got to figure out who is the intruder in my house."
Ren immediately obeyed and started to put on his clothes, "I thought your house is well guarded Horo Horo." Ren then added hastily as he put on his trousers, "You're supposed to be an important person after all."
"I don't know anyone that can actually break through my gates without being detected by the machines." Horo Horo's voice sounded worried. "But then again, the intruder may be a person who sneaked through the backwall. There's only a few guarding machines in the backwall."
Just as Horo Horo try to get into his room (Horo Horo didn't take his clothes to the jacuzzi room, and besides Horo Horo's room would be the safest place in the whole house), three flashes of blitz lighted in front of Horo Horo and Ren's face.
Closing his eyes because of the bright light, soon there was hundreds of other flashes that come straight to Horo Horo. "What on earth?" Horo Horo shouted as more flashes come around.
At Horo Horo's angry shout, there was a lot of grumbles coming from the source of the light. "Stop, stop!" came a stern voice from behind the walls of flashing lights, "Horo Horo's here! We'll just stop with the cameras alright?"
A dreadful thought just come over Horo Horo. These people are. . . cameramen?
When Horo Horo's eyes enabled him to see what is in front of him, Horo Horo couldn't be surprised more than he is right now. Twenty reporters, with their video cameras and flashing cameras ready, were standing before Horo Horo.
"Horo Horo, is it true that you've actually signed a contract with the new groups?" "Horo Horo-sama, would you like to comment about your disappearance after the rock concert?" "Horo Horo-sama, who was the boy that was seen walking with you in the past few days? Is it your brother?" "Horo Horo-sama. . ." "Horo Horo!!"
Petrified with the invasion of his privacy, it was lucky that Ren took a quick manouver and took Horo Horo along with him. Though Ren was running quite fast, Horo Horo's fan still tagged along with them persistently
"What was all that about Horo Horo?" Ren asked stupidly. Ren knew where he was going, but chased by the crowd, Ren was quite confused with his directions.
"I have no idea, Ren." Horo Horo said with a shaky voice. "My house had been intruded with fans before, but there was never this MANY!"
Ren was about to reply with something before he realized that Horo Horo's fan is gaining quickly. Ren dashed quickly to his room, and locked the doors. His actions, very fortunately, were quickly enough. Seven seconds after Ren locked the doors, bangs were heared from the door.
"Horo Horo!!" "Horo Horo-sama. . ." Horo Horo!!!" sounded the chorus wildly.
"Whoa Horo Horo. . ." Ren said as he eyed Horo Horo, "You're famous."
Horo Horo still looked quite shaken. He would've never thought that his fans were THAT crazy. After doing some thinking, Horo Horo stood up and said, "Ren, we have to get out of this house."
"Right you are. . ." Ren said with a slow voice, "Wait a sec, while I pack the potion and the necklace."
"And Ren," Horo Horo then added with a meek little voice, "Can you lend me some of you clothes. I'm cold."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
They snuck through the windows, leaving the unsatisfied fans still outside the door of Ren's room. It would, however, be only a couple of minutes time until the fans break through the door.
Ren and Horo Horo, dressed in casual outfit trying to blend into the crowd, brought along with them their potion and precious 1080 beads necklace.
"Hey Ren, what do you think we should go?" Horo Horo whisphered silently through the cold night.
"I have no idea." Ren whispered back at him. "But we'd better go somewhere near the meeting point of Pilica tomorrow."
"Right you are," Horo Horo thought about that for a while before replying, "I think I know a place where we can stay for the night near there."
Ren nodded wordlessly and followed Horo Horo quickly. Though silent as they are, Horo Horo and Ren could clearly hear the loud screams, coming from Horo Horo's mansion. What is happening there? In the middle of that blissful night, Horo Horo let out a desperate sigh.
The moon shone full and there, on the highest pine tree, stood a hooded figure with his arms crossed. . . grinning evilly whilst looking at Horo Horo and Ren.
In the floor of the pine forest, however, stood a priestess. Her eyes serious, looking straight at the hooded figure.
On top of the pine tree, Hao vanished with a flash of darkness. Then, silently as ever, in the bottom of the forest, Anna threw her face away gracefully and glenched her teeth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
