Chapter 6

~*When I walked home from school that afternoon...I felt...sad....*~

My father had come home from a bussiness trip and he found out about the pictures I had drawn while I was supposed to be studying..boy did I get yelled at and ontop of it all he made me study all night and into the morning. I remember Sunday awfully well..how angry Anna was. I had no idea he had slept next to me that night or had even lifted me up out of the cold snow. I was cold I felt as if I could have died..Yoh has always been kind, gentle, and caring he always smiled at me.. that smile was one of the reasons my feelings for him are so strong..*~

*~ However...Today was like....*~

Manta walked into the classroom holding his dictionary he casually walked up to his desk beside Yoh. Yoh had been sitting there staring straight ahead as if he didn't want to make any eye contact whatsoever he just sat there staring blankly.

" Ohayo Yoh-kun!!" Manta smiled up at him as he climbed to sit on his chair.

"Yo" He replied softly his voice just seemed to be lacking in emotion.

And thats the way the entire day carried out. Manta followed Yoh everywhere he went. Yoh didn't say no to this but he wasn't cheerful he wasn't his normal lazy self. All Manta was...was just a shadow.

Manta clenched his teeth a bit remembering what a horrible day it had been and how the evening would only be worse. How much he hated coming home especially with his father there his sister was bad enough. With his father being home he couldn't relax not even for a second it had to be study study study. It was getting sickening he was practically the head of the class. Taking over the company just seemed so awfull nothing he truelly wanted in life. He never really did think about himself and his feelings untill recently all his thoughts and attention seemed to center around Yoh. His heart ached the swirling confusion of love took him over completely.

"But now...." Manta sighed staring at his house.

Yoh had been cold and indifferent with him. Was it all over..? Even if he never can never tell him of his feelings..he would still be happy just being friends just knowing he existed somewhere in Yoh's heart would be enough for him. But now..did he even exist anywhere? What was Yoh thinking or feeling earlier today? Was it Anna? or did Yoh simply realise his feelings for him and couldn't stand it.. afterall he wasn't even half the size of Yoh or as beautiful for that matter. Always nervous and uptight while Yoh's spirit was happy and free.

" He must...want nothing to do with me.." Manta sniffed brushing his hair away from his face as he walked into his room. It felt cold inside cold and lonely. His room was so clean not a spot of it was dirty so clean and boring. Where had he gone wrong? why did he have to be so weak.

" Yoh-kun....." Manta sprawled out onto his bed. His chest hurt and sweat ran down his forehead.

" I need you...."
