To my flamer: Iie I am not gay, actually I'm straight girl! Anyhow, I do remember warning my readers that this IS yaoi? If you don't know what it means it means guy-to-guy relationship. And I did say that if you don't like it then don't read.

If you don't like, I respect your opinions then. I have other shaman king fics. "Vocalist" and "Loving you" are 2 of them. Both are Yoh/Anna/Hao Ren/Pirika Horo/Tamao. Please don't get mad at me, and I'm really sorry if I offended you through this fic.

Please be reasonable, but I did warn everybody that this is YAOI! Y-a-o-i Pairings are Lyserg/Hao, Ren/Horo but there is also Anna/Yoh ^^ Sankyuu!

Everyone: thanks for reviewing my fic!

Chapter 9: Innocent Child

LYSREG'S POV

I came out of the store a few minutes after talking to Hao. At first I had hoped that he had gotten tired of waiting and had simply gone off. But my expectations were wrong as I realized that the former said had been sitting on a nearby bench, as he stared into oblivion. It troubled me at first, seeing Hao as solemn as now was not particularly normal as he was usually happy, proud, arrogant, shameless not to mention horny.

I stared at him for a couple of seconds; he hadn't seemed to notice me as he paid me no heed YET. He had his legs crossed and his mouth was slightly open, not to mention that all the leather that he had been wearing had med him look pretty much inviting………

"Ha-Hao?" I stuttered, feeling my blood rise to my cheeks

He blinked once twice as he finally glanced at me with a somewhat weary smile "Took you long enough" he stated as I approached him hesitantly.

"You could couldn't have waited for me you know" I murmured as Hao raised a brow questioningly.

"Demo Lyserg-chan! I really wanted to talk to you" he pouted while pretending to look hurt all the same.

"Talk to me about what?" I asked blatantly as I laid the bags of grocery in the bench and stood in front of him impatiently.

He smiled as he suddenly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me to his lap, automatically I landed on his chest making me flush and tense even more.  "Wh-what the fuck are you doing!?" I demanded angrily as he nested his head in the crook of my neck.

"I missed you, habibi" he smirked as I tried to pull away but Hao's grip was unbearable so I simply settled in his chosen position. "You know you smell like Jasmine" he commented as he loosened his grip on me.

 I looked at him quizzically "Is that your new hobby?" I snarled

"No. I still prefer fucking but you smell really nice!" he replied as I tried to look away so the faint glow in my cheeks won't be that noticeable. Soon after a while I felt Hao's hand make it way under my shirt as he started to trace little circles along lower stomach, making me somewhat mewl in surprise. Oh shit!!! "You like?" the shaman purred seductively in my ear as he started nipping on my earlobe.

"I wonder if you taste nice as well"

"H-Hao yo-you sick pervert!" I exclaimed as I suddenly pushed away from him, making me fall onto the ground. I then glared at him while at the same time hoping to catch my breath as he on the other hand simply chuckled at my futile attempt.

"You're such an idiot!" I exclaimed angrily as Hao looked back at me with what seemed to be a hurt and guilty expression

"Lyserg-chan don't be mad" he cried

"St-stop that!"

"Stop what?" he muttered as he knelt down beside me and to my surprise laid his head on my lap causing me to blush insanely  "What the hell are you doing!" I shouted

"Forgive me?" he pleaded as he nuzzled in my lap, like a cat would do. I ignored him at first but I suddenly felt my face burn in embarrassment as I heard passerby's giggling and murmuring while gawking at our rather 'awkward' position.

"Kawaii! They're such a cute couple" I heard a teenager said as hooting noises soon followed.

"Hao get the fuck up!" I demanded, as I turned crimson in color

"Not unless you forgive me!" he insisted

"Kisama!!!!"

He looked at me and pouted "Then I won't get up!" he smirked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and continued to nuzzled his head on my lap.

"F-fine I forgive you, onegai, doesn't make a scene!!!!!" I cried as Hao got up and looked at me

"Then lets kiss and make out!" he smiled gleefully. Okay, that didn't really sound right, actually it sounded very dirty, but who cares as long as he gets off of me!

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

HAO'S POV

I enjoy teasing Lyserg, and I enjoy watching him get pissed at me every now and then, what can I say he looked really cute when he's all red and pouty. I wonder if he was really willing have a make-out-session with me………

As soon as the people scooted away Lyserg glared at me almost teary eyed "Blackmailing pervert!" he scowled as I simply chuckled.

"Maybe we should bring this to someplace private" I finally suggested as I stood up and took my bags as well as those of Lyserg's "Lets go, habibi." I called to him as he irritably gritted his teeth but followed nevertheless.

It was only a few minutes before we got to a grassy area under a bridge. I sat down in the ground and simply glanced at the river where the moon was brightly reflected. I could tell Lyserg was still slightly annoyed as he kept a safe distance away from me.

"Are you afraid, habibi?" I questioned, using the unusual pet name for him.

He simply glared as I inched closer to him, he didn't seem to mind by then. "So what is it you wanna talk about?" he asked in a rather monotonous tone

I plopped down the grass and simply closed my eyes; to my surprise Lyserg did the same as I took that opportunity to glance at his full figure. He looks sexy lying down in the solid ground, what more in bed? "Naked and bounded by chains" I said a little too loudly as Lyserg raised a brow at me.

"Excuse me?"

"Its nothing, habibi!"

"Why do you keep calling me that!!" the British scolded "Wha-what does it mean?"

"Habibi? Hmm, it means a slave, whore, slut………a bitc"

"HAO!!!!!" Lyserg cut me off, his voice serious and obviously irritated "If it means something as crude as you say it is, then stop calling me THAT!"

"Demo it's cute!" I reasoned, "Besides aren't you my bitc—"

"I AM NOT!!!!!!" Lyserg cut me off once again as he glared daggers at me. I, in return simply smiled at him, finding much amusement on the young boy.

"Ne, Lyserg………" I murmured, my voice turning unlikely serious  "Have you ever liked someone?" I asked as I realized that the boy was already blushing.

"O-Of course………h-have you?" he questioned a bit unsurely.

 "Why are you so nervous? I don't often bite you know!" I grinned as I then pondered on his previous question. "People hated me, so I hated the world as is. I never felt like or love, not even from my own bloodline" I answered truthfully

"What are you trying to say?! That all humans are cold-hearted bastards? You can't hate all persons"

"You have a point………because for some strange reason I could never seem to hate YOU!" I whispered seductively as I took my chance to snake my arms around his slender waist and pulling him towards myself. "I won't hurt you, you know!" I smirked as I felt him tense under my touch.

"I know you won't but can you keep your hands to yourself, that is if you don't want ME to hurt you!" he growled irritably not like I actually did what he told me to.

"Aww, don't be mean!" I pouted

"I won't be mean if you stop being horny"

"But you're so irresistible"

"Urasaii!! That doesn't give you the permission to grope me!"

"Does it give me the permission to fuck you?"

"Shut up!!!" he squeaked, his cheeks much redder than the usual. I then nuzzled him from behind, ignoring his previous protests. He sighed and finally gave in as he simply relaxed himself close to me. (And yes, I haven't taken off my hands around his waist, its very comfortable there as you can see) "I hate you" he muttered jadedly

I plainly smiled in reply "that's just because you weren't able to resist me!"

"You're insane…………"

"Hai! Hai! Demo…………You know you better be getting back the groceries back to Anna!" I grinned, "You don't want her getting pissed now do you!" I continued as Lyserg suddenly paled. I looked as him quizzically and gave him an assuring smile "Daijobu habibi, I'm sure Anna-san won't be THAT mad, but of course I could be wrong but--"

"But its Anna we're talking about!" Lyserg cried

I sighed dejectedly "Fine then if it would make you feel better I'll explain what happened to the itako! I was after all the one who kept you"

"You will?"

"Of course I will!" I smiled

"What's the catch, Hao?"

Again I smiled at him as I suddenly pulled him to a heated kiss. He tensed at first, but I held both his hands so he won't be able to struggle. I pulled away after a few seconds, both of us were breathless and I could clearly see the boy's flushed face. "That wasn't so bad ne?" I grinned, "You're actually a good kisser, I wonder how you are in bed?"

"Why must you always annoy me?!" he quoted, it was funny since I remembered him saying the same thing the first time we met.

"I'm not" I replied casually, "I'm just telling the truth"

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

HORO HORO'S POV

"Anna-san this is torture!" I complained as he scrubbed the floor of the inn with a wet towel. "Why do we even have to clean this crappy place?! I thought we were gonna train?"

"If you don't stop complaining I'm gonna make you clean the bathroom!" Anna scowled "Besides THIS is training, and it's very beneficial as well!"

"What do you mean beneficial?"

"We can stay here for free, and the owner is gonna pay me as well!"

"Pay you? What about us, we did all the hard work!"

"That's just too bad………" she said bluntly as she took her leave. Anna-san hidoiiiiii!!!!

I sat down in the floor, and threw the wet towel on the wall, the hell this isn't even training, even if it is why do we have to get included I mean the itako IS Yoh-kuns fiancée. I took a while pondering that I didn't really notice the Chinese shaman who had just entered and stare at me weirdly.

"Stop slacking off!" he shouted getting my full attention.

"Renny-chan!" I cried as I urged myself not to laugh. Tao Ren had been tasked to the kitchen and well; he needed the proper attire so here he is in a pink bandana and a pink apron. (I had presumed it was Anna-sans, and for once I was thankful for the itako, since I would never get another chance to see Ren in this kind of erotic attire)

"Stop gawking!!!!!" He scowled

"But you look pretty!"

"I look ridiculous!!!" he sighed as he tried to take the bothersome clothe off

"Iie, leave it on………you can take the rest of your clothes though!" I smirked imagining Ren with only the pink apron and nothing else.

"Leave me out of you erotic fantasies, baka!!!" he scolded. He was so red at that time; I couldn't help but chuckle at his futile attempts. What can I say he looks so adorable when he's all flushed and sweaty

"Are you bathing afterwards?" I asked

"Yes, it really hot"

"Yaaay! Lets take one together!" I cheered almost instantly

"In your dreams!!!"

"Awww. Come on pointy!!!"

"Stop calling me that you indigenous baka!!!" he glared "Your starting to sound like Hao!"

"Is that a complement?" I smirked as I pushed him to the floor and straddled his hips

"I swear you are such a—" Ren protested as I cut him off by pressing my lips against his.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

3RD PERSON POV

"Horo Horo, have you seen Ren-ku………" Yoh muttered when he suddenly caught sight of the 2 in the floor. He blinked once then twice, as he finally realized that he had somewhat interrupted something.

"Aa. G-g-g-gomen!!" he stuttered as he tuned away from the scene. On the other hand Ren and the Ainu had automatically pulled away from one another.

"Eto………Anna-san just wanted me to check if you um………weren't slacking off………Hehehe" Yoh grinned "Daijobu I wont tell on you guys but you might want to take it in a room next time!" he continued as the 2 blushed even harder.
