Chapter 4
Manta stood up as he looked out a very large window filled with yellow, pink and orange hues. The breeze felt warm and comforting. More than ever had he wanted Yoh to hold him. Cherry blossoms blew through his soft strawberry blonde hair. A gentle melody of a small music box filled his ears and his heart felt as if it could soar. He sat in a small oak chair that looked rather old as a little chocolate bannana split sat at the windowsil. He stared at it for a moment seeing the tiny silver spoon beside it. The pain he felt was completely gone. The window he looked into stayed the same beautiful swirling colores. He looked down the floor was made of grass and the when he looked up there were a million stars above him and a full moon. His eyes widened and looked back at the window and it remained the same. Looking behind him his bed was right there along with an enourmous pile of candy. on the other side a hammock full of plushies.
" What is this place?" He asked himself outloud his voice echoed as if he were in an empty room. Looking at such a wonderful place made butterflies flutter in his small belly. He stood up noticing he wasin soft pastel green pajamas and moved twords the colorful and large amount of teddybears. He looked at one that caught his eye. A large Yellow and orange teddy with sparkling blue eyes that looked like they were made out of sapphire. He lunged towards it hugging it happily and acting as if he were a small child. He smiled then looked down at it quickly as it changed shape.
" Y...Yoh-kun..." He looked down as he was wrapping his arms around Yoh's slim waist.
Yoh frowned angrily.
" Yoh...Yoh-kun?" Manta's eyes filled with tears as he looked down at the love of his life.
" Get your filthy little hands off of me..." Yoh said coldly. Manta let go his eyes wide and now tears running down his porcelain cheeks.
"w...why Yoh...why....I....I..." His voice cracked. Then he desperately clung to him once more crying into the cold shaman's white shirt.
" what did I tell you? get away from me you disgusting brat!" He stood up letting Manta fall to the floor. Manta crawled backwards looking up at him now crying almost to the point of hysterics.
"You make me sick..." Yoh muttered.
" b...but Yoh...I .. I love you...what did I do wrong!!!?? I love You!!" He cried now covering his eyes.
" What did you do? Your worthless...you make my life miserable...your a big baby...your not even attractive anymore...and you don't do anything.." He laughed coldly walking up to him.
Manta's chest tightened the horrible feeling overcame him as Yoh's words cut deep into his heart and soul.
" I hate you.." Yoh grinned
" I..Love you!!!" Manta cried out opening his eyes slowly. The stuffed animals had changed from being cute to scary.everything in the room changed into a dark frightening place. Manta's eyes widened as sweat ran down his forehead. Everything he was seeing vanished quickly. Looking around he saw an even more frightening thing. He looked through the glass window as he saw two men walking behind what seemed like a handcuffed Yoh. Yoh turned his head and looked straight at Manta his eyes wide and scary looking. His hair messy and a muzzle around his mouth with long sharp bars attached near the mouth. Yoh smiled through the muzzle a creepy smile that made Manta's heart feel like ice. He turned around quickly feeling a hot buring sensation on the back of his neck. His vision became blurry as he caught a glimpse of Mansumi. He shuddered as he watched his father repeatedly stab his mother while clutching onto her hair.
" STOP WHAT IS THIS STOP!!!' He clutched his head crying. He looked out the window again and instead of Yoh being handcuffed with a muzzle it was Mansumi instead.
Manta cried shutting his eyes again. Then turned around once more.
" I hate you...you stole him...you took him away from me!! You worthless water meat bun!!" Anna cried out holding a butcher knife in her hand her black dress tattered and a menacing look on her face.
" Oh god.." Manta shook his body feeling numb. Anna lunged foward to stab Manta but accidently stabbed the window. Manta fell over onto the ground.
"...." He looked up everything around him turning bright white.
" Manta-chan!!!!" a voice called him shaking him lightly.
" Yoh-kun..." Manta's eyes fluttered open his body shook as sweat ran down his forehead.
" YOH-KUN!! I love you I love you please...Please don't HATE ME!!!" Manta cried loudly.
" M...Manta-chan I could never ever hate you...I love you too...shhh..you were having a bad dream its alright now.." He cooed snuggling close to him.
" A dream.." Manta sighed in relief still feeling scared.
Ryu walked up the stairs holding a tray of Miso soup and rice balls. " la la la" He hummed as he continued towards Manta and Yoh's bedroom.
" Oh Yoh-kun I was so scared..its the scariest dream I have ever had.." Manta sobbed softly. Yoh held him tight kissing him on the forehead.
" Lunch is ready.." Ryu chimed opening up the door the rest of the way.
" Smells great thanks!" Yoh grinned.
Faust sat in his bed room looking over some X-rays as well was watching TV.
" Arthritis pain? with Joint Relieve you don't have to worry about the pain anymore just put on this scentless cream twice a day and you can be on your way to all day pain relief!" The commercial explained. Faust's eyes widened in annoyance as he looked down at his hands. "UGH" He sighed kicking the off button.
" Heh...Feel like an old man already?" Ryu teased playfully. Faust tryed his best to ignore the comment.
" He always acts like this whenever one of those commercials come on!" Yoh laughed.
Manta smiled weakly.
