Chapter 18.
Manta layed on his back, his eyes half open. All he could think about was Yoh sleeping with Anna. Why was he in the same bed as her? Perhaps her really did love her..maybe he shouldn't even ask Yoh. What was the point of it anyways? Yoh definately loved Anna and he couldn't stop it he didn't want to stop it. He wanted to be with Yoh but he couldn't take Anna away from him either. He didn't have the courage to. All he wanted was to be in Yoh's arms or continue to stay his best friend.
" I should go back to studying and cram school..." Manta sighed. " High school entrance exams...." Manta turned to his side and began to cry in soft little whimpers. The bed was soft and smelled of Jasmine. Manta smiled as he thought of the mat Yoh slept on. "I wonder what that smells like?" He asked himself then suddenly began to laugh teasing himself and Yoh without him even being there. " Probibly smells like Hemp" he giggled. He frowned at that thought and shook it out of his head " I bet it has a sweet smell.." He closed his eyes trying to sleep.
Ren woke up, putting on his pants. He stretched and looked out his window his eyes flickering.Manta walked up to the boy's room knocking on it softly. He turned red feeling a bit embaressed.
" Yes what is it?" Ren asked opening the door and looking down at the strawberry blonde boy who was blushing furiously.
" I....when is Yoh-kun coming? I...I forgot to pack clean clothes..." He stuttered turning yet another shade of red as he pulled down on his powder blue hoodie.
Ren cocked an eyebrow as he put on his long sleeved black shirt. His beautiful golden eyes barely keeping themselves off of Manta for even a second.
"Phe, I will return shortly...you can take a bath while I'm gone...no point in wearing clean clothes if you're not clean" Ren mubled sounding a bit disgusted.
Manta looked up at him and nodded blushing a bit more. "will you be getting Yoh-kun?" He asked his cheeks turning pink.
"ah." He nodded walking towards the door. Manta sighed feeling a bit relieved. A bath sounded good right about now.
As the door shut Manta walked towards the bathroom lifting up his hoodie and taking it off on the way. He held it in his small hands as he unzipped his shorts and pulled them off as well till he reached the bathroom and closed the door. He blushed a bit more
*~ Even though he took me here it does kind of feel like I'm imposing...*~ Manta thought as he stared down at the western styled bathroom. He turned the faucet knob to hot and turned the cold a bit. He watched as the tub filled and the hot steam rose. He looked over to see a small green bottle and tilted his head to the side a bit reading it. " Tea Tree Oil Bubble Bath" He read opening the cap and smelling its content. He closed his eyes and smiled. He dumped two cap fulls in as the instructions read. Looking over at the tub he calculated when to turn the water off. He slowly eased himself in and lay down relaxing. Tilting his small head back he stared at the ceiling enjoying the warmth all around him.
Ren walked through the back yard of the Funbari residence. He looked at the sign feeling slightly confused to see Anna's handwriting on a stick it above the wooden plaque saying " Now Asakura Residence" Ren coughed a bit. Was Anna planning to marry Yoh sooner than planned? He walked across the grass untill he reached the wooden porch.Looking around he slowly opened the thin doors of the old hotel.
" Yes!? Can I help you!?" Anna stood there her voice colder than usual.
" Eh.. I came to get Yoh" Ren's eyes slanted giving a cold stare back.
Anna coughed loudly into her hand. " Well you can't have him" She replied.
" I didn't ask..." Ren snarled.
" Eh? If Ren-san wants to see me then let him Anna-san..." Yoh sighed and yawned lazily.
"FINE!" Anna hissed pushing him out the door and onto the porch. "That means you can't come in tonight! No dinner no warm bed!" She yelled stomping off.
" Come with me Yoh..." Ren turned around walking.
