Chapter 25

Manta walked quietly down the side walk alongside Yoh. He looked up at him feeling a sudden warmth in his chest. Yoh looked back at him smiling.

" An awfull long list Ren gave us huh Yoh-kun?" Manta looked up at him again.

" Yea it is.." Yoh sighed.

" Whats the matter Yoh-kun?" Manta looked up at him feeling a bit worried.

Yoh breathed. " Eh, just not so sure about Ren-san...I mean..."

" Huh what do you mean?" Manta looked confused as they finally reached the market.

" I mean..is he really ok? and He's been nicer than usuall lately.." Yoh looked confused.

Manta laughed. " You don't understand it? I thought you knew why after you hugged him."

" Eh...Kinda..." Yoh looked up.

" Kind of ?" Manta coughed then turned red

Flashback

*~ You'd best be suited with Manta...no me...*~

Manta blushed looking up at Yoh. " I sort of feel bad for Ren-san."

Yoh nodded. " But what did he mean? Sure we are best friends but why did he go and say that...?"

Manta blushed " I...I...I...have no clue..." He stuttered.

Yoh gathered vegetables his eyes slanted slightly *~ Why would he say that? I doubt the feeling is mutual...*~ Yoh thought.

"Manta...I need to go out later..I want you to be really careful when you are at Ren's house Stay close to HoroHoro.." Yoh said

" Uhmm....ok....." Manta looked up at him feeling confused.

Yoh handed him the money and the basket of food. " Be careful on your way back!" Yoh yelled running off.

" Yoh-kun....what are you up to?" Manta asked himself.
