Chapter 17.

After locking Manta up in his appartment, Ren walked through the grass the moonlight shining on his figure a glowing silouhette. His golden eyes sparkling in the night. He walked further in the back yard of the Asakura home. His eyes slanted he had known that they never locked the doors. So he moved to the side porch swiftly and opened the wooden door carefully and crept in. He had not known which room was Yoh's. He crept through the living room and to three doors. He looked in one, must have been the guest room. He looked inside the next but that was also empty. Last he opened the door carefully finding Yoh and Anna sleeping together in eachother's arms wearing white robes. Ren gritted his teeth at the sight he couldn't understand why Yoh was sleeping beside Anna. Because of Anna there he could not move any further he had to go back home for now. He would get Yoh in the morning. He ran back as fast as he could his yellow scarf blowing in the wind. Finally he reached the appartment building, rushed in then took the elevator up to his floor and ran to the appartment unlocking the door.

Manta looked at him in confusion feeling slightly scared. " Where's Yoh-kun?" He asked gulping. Ren was out of breath and coverd in sweat. He walked twords Manta plopping down onto the red sofa.

"...I saw him..." He breathed.

" And?" Manta looked at him with desperation and wonder in his eyes.

" I saw him sleeping with Anna..." He replied whiping his forehead with a towel.

"....with....Anna?" Manta said softly looking down at the floor his voice scratched.

Ren coughed slightly then looked at Manta " They had their robes on." He said looking away.

"Oh...." Manta said still feeling hurt but a bit better.

Ren stared at him for a moment then looked away again his face a bit red. " I've always admired Yoh, He's a great guy...I'm doing this because I know you'll make him happy, I'm going to bed, you can sleep in Jun's old room goodnight" Ren said softly in his usuall cool voice and left to his room rather quickly.

" Ren-san..." Manta stared at his door in astonishment. Ren really did care about Yoh-kun...he could see that now.. It was right there in front of him. Ren had actually admited to feelings.. Manta always had wondered about if Ren really cared about Yoh. Now it was very apparent.

Manta stood up yawning and rubbing his eyes he walked for the opposite room. Ren lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.
