Chapter 2

"Haha you simply cannot win Koji!!" Horo yelled as he turned the corner around a large cherry tree.

This made Koji more determined. She leaned over a bit more, shifting her wait to the front of her. This all caused her to move faster. She grinned evilly as she gained on Horohoro. "Better watch what you say Horo!" she shrieked.

Horo didn't turn around; he didn't need to. He could hear her coming up on his right side. He chuckled softly to himself. He'd sometimes let her win. But what the hell, she's thirteen. She doesn't need him to drop the race just for a little girl! He did the same to make himself go faster.

Ren was last, and he didn't really care. He wasn't doing this to win; he was only doing it to please Horo. And hell, that's pretty much all he cared about this morning. A smile materialized across his lips at the very thought of his blue haired lover.

Ren and Horo had been holding unsure feelings for each other since they met. Then it evolved into more of a hardcore friendship, they were best friends for many years. Ren had an eye on a girl, but when she turned him down in front of Horo, he was too ashamed to show his face at school for a week. Horo'd helped him through it and they both graduated from high school best buddies. But then when they were around 27 they developed feelings for each other. Ren never though he would ever feel this way about another male. Horo even had a girlfriend in high school, but when they went their separate ways and Horo refused to move away with her she dumped him cold.

Horo won the race, and Koji wasn't too far behind. Five minutes later Ren came along and finished. He smiled to Horo and did a secret handshake, which only the three of them knew, with Koji. Horo scooped Koji up into his arms, tickled her and set her down in his lap when he sad down on a park bench. Ren took a seat next to Horo. They hadn't told Koji that they were together yet, so Ren didn't sit too close. They both knew Koji would support them, and then she'd beg them to adopt her like she'd done thousands of times before. They would respond that if her dad would let them they would. But Koji never once asked her dad nor mom. She knew they'd say something along the lines of hell no, then ask her why she would want them too.

"Oh crap!" Koji exclaimed. She jumped up and grabbed her board.

"What?" Ren asked watching her head back up the hill before standing.

"I'm gonna be late for school!" she said quickening her pace.

Ren and Horo looked at each other for a sudden moment then pointed to one another. They both took off after her and Ren picked her up then ran, Horo at his side.

"EEK!" Koji said as she was lifted into Ren's arms. "What are you doing?"

"Helping you get to school!" Ren laughed.

Koji giggled too and relaxed a bit. They picked her bag up from the house and dropped off their boards. Ren and Horo said they'd take her to school today and Yoh and Anna agreed.

The late bell rang just as Ren set Koji down right in front of the classroom. Horo smiled at her and whispered, "You're only a minute late, you should be okay!"

Koji smiled back. "Thanks! Can you guys pick me up and we can go boarding again?"

"Gee I don't know," Ren replied. Horo nudged him in the arm. "Maybe," he reconsidered.

Koji giggled and thanked them both again before opening her classroom door and walking in.

Horo turned to Ren and took his hand into his own. "C'mon let's go home."

Ren nodded in agreement and they walked down the hall. They hadn't gone public with their relationship yet, only their friends new. But the two were getting braver by the day.

"AHH!" shrieked a voice from behind them.

They both stopped to see what it was. It could be a child that's hurt, thought Ren. Horo just wanted to keep going again, but Ren tugged at him. They both slowly turned around to see Koji standing only a foot in from of her closed classroom door. She was a white as the ghosts living in her house. Here eyes were wide and her jaw was dropped.

Kykura: Hehe!

Kyla: I already know what is gonna happen. But I'm not gonna tell you!

Kykura: Yeah. So go ahead and review and we'll get the next chapter out to you!

Kyla: Mmm Hmm! ^_~
