Chapter 8
Ryu walked down the street as fireflys danced around him giving him a greenish glow. The stars were bright but seemed faded by the city lights. The air was warm but gave off a cool breeze. There was silence hardly any cars in sight. He closed his eyes as the wind picked up. His heart ached with a bad feeling like a growing pit inside of him. His mouth carried a bad taste. He sighed.
" Five...?" He questioned. normally five people wouldn't bother him. Why would it?? but something didn't feel very good. He had mixed feelings and tightening in his chest. who was this fith person anyways?
Manta stood in the door way. His skin pale and sweat running down his forehead. Yoh looked at his small lover noticing that his skin was fairly close to being blue.
" Manta-chan..." He whispered rubbing his eyes. Yoh's soft chocolate eyes widened as Manta turned around. He almost looked dead.
" Y...Yoh-kun..." Manta whispered crystaline blue eyes teared up and small tears gently ran down the death like soft skin.
Yoh frowned standing up. " I don't know why... but it.. it feels like something more than Mansumi is working this..." He whispered running after the small boy and grasping him quickly.
" I...I just don't know anymore..." Manta sobbed into his arms. Yoh's eyes turned white. " No one will hurt you.. not as long as I remain with you.. I won't allow it..." His eyes came back to normal and he caressed Manta's face.
" Daijoubu.." He smiled gently kissing his forehead.
" Yoh-kun...something...strange is happening to me..." Manta cried.
Yoh looked at him strangly and felt a warm gushy sensation near his forearm. He looked at Manta carefully and turned him around noticing two blood stains on his back.
" Manta...??" He looked at him shocked. " What does it.. mean??"
" I don't know...but..it scares me.." Manta closed his eyes resting his small head against Yoh's chest.
Ryu opened the door carrying more shopping bags with him. The confusion inside of him never leaving. He had gone out and bought a whole box of every flavor of Pocky and lots more snacks. He sighed as he slowly walked up the stairs. Without looking through the crack of Yoh and Manta's door he went into his own bed room and shut the door. He turned off the light and slowly took of his clothes getting ready for bed. He looked behind him quickly noticing that there was a small pink twinkle reflecting from the mirror. However nothing was there.
" What was that..." He shook his head and got under the covers closing his eyes. but quickly opened them again.
" Geesh!" He snorted. " Next time don't peer over my head like some strange stalker!" He complained.
" next time I won't even care about you, I can just go back to being mean! You know I'm capable!" The voice rang back defensively.
" Right.. well just go to bed..." Ryu sighed.
" Whatever"
" Fine, if your bored then keep a look out for me I'm sensing something strange" Ryu said
" Yea Yea" Tokoghero said grumpily as he nodded off.
" Manta..." Yoh cuddled him softly in bed after cleaning up the rather large cuts on his back. " We should tell Faust in the morning.." he whispered softly. Manta nodded gripping onto his shirt.
The two friends looked at one another in concern and floated off onto the roof.
" Ryu was acting really strange... I hope he's alright..." Tamao blushed.
" Well.. he ought to" Anna said coldly.
" UGH" Pirika sighed.
" Whats wrong Pirika-chan?" Tamao asked softly.
" My Brother thats what!" She cried loudly.
Anna shook her head.
" What? what did Horo do?" Tamao tilted her head slightly.
" My Brother is only 16yrs old!!!!" Parika cried holding a small purple and blue envelope.
" What What!!!???" Tamao banged on the table eager to know.
" Well. Well... HE'S ENGAGED!!!" Pirika cried.
" Engaged? So he got a girlfriend?" Tamao wondered.
" No..Tamao.. he's engaged to Ren..." Anna explained. Tamao's face lit up as she covered it with a place mat.
" My Brother is gay!" Pirika cried. Anna snorted " So are you!" She felt the urge to smack her.
" But thats different!!!" Pirika explained.
" Its not different at all.." Jeanne snapped.
" It's his choice you shouldn't get so upset Pirika-san.." Tamao whispered.
" Its just.. I dunno... He's only 16!!! and Ren?? what does he see in him!!!" Pirika complained
" Whatever isn't it their own bussiness?" Anna huffed.
" Anna-san!!! Are you dating Pirika!!!???" Tamao snapped as well.
" Sort of... kinda..." Anna said.
" SO you're over Yoh-kun??!!!!" Tamao huffed
" Sort off.." Anna said cooly.
" Why not..." Tamao stopped.
" First of all you are my best friend though I hate to admit it second.. we are both bi sexual yes but.. I don't feel that way and third.. you still like Yoh" Anna hissed..
" Meeep..." Tamao covered her face again.
" Now that I think about what the rings look like..ITS SUPER CUTE!" Pirika squeeled.
" What do they look like?" Jeanne asked softly.
" Well.. Ren's ring is silver with a light blue stone!! and Horo's is gold with a dark purple stone!!" Pirika explained excitedly.
" Hair and clothing matched rings...strange..." Anna commented.
" Its pretty cute!" Tamao smiled.
Jeanne stood up taking a tray of chocolate rice balls with her.
" Good idea Jeanne.. he might be hungry." Tamao smiled.
" He could have gotten the food himself." Anna complained.
