Me: Wow, I hate authors like me who disappear off the face of the earth, leaving all my loyal reviewers in the dust, I think that I need to give and extra thanks to those of you who haven't given up on me, and those of you who just found this. Okay, I covered everyone! Now the fic!
The next morning
Kyouku yawned and stretched her arms. She sleepily turned her head to see the clock next to her head, which read 6:30, and was playing Japanese rock until she smacked it up against the wall. As she dressed in her trademark out fit: A light green halter top with a forest green rune on it that meant 'life', a gold belly-button ring, and black hip hugger-style flairs, she looked into the mirror and saw that her thick auburn hair looked like a bird made a nest in it, she quickly bulled a brush out of her bag and brushed it into a cute style. Then she quickly applied a little make up and left the room by seven, in time to see Pirika drag Horo Horo (AN-from now on he Horo) out of the kitchen.
"Is that normal here?" she asked Yoh, who was helping Manta put breakfast on the table.
"Yep, Pirika is just paranoid that he'll hurt himself, so don't worry about it if he shows up in a few minutes then gets dragged out in seconds flat," he told he like it was an every day occurrence, "C'mon, have some food, we made eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles, corn muffins, toast and hand strained orange juice!"
"Wow, you went all out!" Kyouku laughed.
"No, actually, we normally make more!" Yoh smiled, "But we ran out of a lot of everything else, so we made what ever we had."
"Well, thanks, you guys do know how to make a girl feel special!" Kyouku sat down in between Yoh and Manta as Ren and Anna walked into the room in deep conversation, but stopped when they saw the other three looking at them.
The pair sat down side by side in two of the three remaining seats.
"Where's Rio?" Asked Anna, not looking up from her orange juice.
"He ran off with the Dead Enders for the week, he said it was to give Kyouku and Yoh time to 'get to know each other'," Manta supplied.
Suddenly Horo appeared in the empty seat, next to Ren.
"Did I miss anything?" he asked piling food onto his plate.
"Nope, tell Pirika to be back here by 10:00," Yoh said to his friend.
"All right" he replied perkily.
Later (11:30)
There was a nock on the door that rang throughout the house. Yoh stood from the table where he was compiling a list of food he wanted served at the reception. He walked over to the door, but when he opened it Horo and Pirika appeared at his side to look at the new guests, the girl had pale skin, light blue eyes, blonde hair, that was tied up into a horse tail, was probably not an inch taller than Pirika, and was wearing a black tang-top and blue jeans. The boy had midnight black haircut sort, yet slightly long, giving him a slightly mysterious look, dark skin (not African dark but, like southern India dark) black eyes, probably nearly at his full height, he wore loose navy blue skater-style shorts, a navy blue Legend of Zelda novelty t-shirt, and navy blue and black trainers.
"Hi, you Kyouku's friends aren't you?" Yoh asked, cocking his head as Kyouku walked into the hallway and stood beside him at the door.
"Hi Cam!(Cameron) Hi Rinna{Pronounced Ree-nah}! (Korinna) How are you? This is Yoh, he's my fiancée, they are Pirika and Horo, and you guys get to walk with them!" She said, greeting her friends.
"Hey Kyouku-Chan, mind if we some in?" the boy, no identified as Cam, asked.
"Nope, not at all!" She pulled Yoh out of the door way and Horo and Pirika stepped back as the pair entered.
Anna stepped out of her room and saw the new arrivals, she sized them up quickly and gave them a small smile before taking Ren's hand (he was in her room with her {just so you know, I don't write lemon or yaoi or yuri!}) and saying, "He's mine, don't get any ideas, Korinna."
"I don't want him," Rinna said smiling, "Please call me Rinna!"
"Good, so your Kyouku's friend, you're Russian, aren't you?" Anna said, trying to be nice.
"Yup!" Rinna said smiling like Yoh does, in a very care free way.
"You-"she pointed at Cam, "You Korean?"
"No, I'm Maori (Pronounced Mow-ree), we're the original people of New Zealand, but I was born and raised here, in Japan." He said giving Pirika a flirting look from the corner of his eye.
"Cameron isn't a Maori or Japanese name!" she argued.
"That was my Mothers idea, give all of her three children outlandish names. If you think 'Cameron' is bad, you should really fell sorry for my older brother- 'Althaeas' (pronounced al-thee-us), I'm not even sure if that's a real name, but if it wasn't, it is now!" he laughed.
"Wow, now me and Hao have no room to complain." Yoh commented dryly.
"What's wrong Yoh-san?" Kyouku asked looking up into his eyes.
"I feel ignored!" he said quietly.
"Awww" Kyouku said trailing off, "Yoh-san, don't feel sad, you should be happy, we get to go shopping!"
"We're going shopping?" Horo asked, suddenly no longer staring at Rinna, who for the last three or four minutes had been trying to wake him up by waving her hands in front of his face.
"Yeah, everyone get fifteen dollars for meals, and the most responsible of each party gets a visa, with no spending limits, all being paid for by my good old parents! Us Feminine-types are going to get brides maid dresses and my gown, you men err... -things get to get tux's, and you get to pick the ice cream!" Kyouku said, "Oh, and Yoh, I've arranged for Hao to meet you at the Tux store, Andy-san will be with him, he's one of Aya's best friends! Aya and Sera-Chan will meet us at the formalwear shop-thingy! Every one good? Okay, lets go!" Kyouku and the ladies left the house; Kyouku only paused at the door and tossed a card at Cam, before leaving.
Cam looked down at the card that read:
Matai, Cameron Franklin
Visa 849 894 498 223 900 exp. 12-31-05.
"Wow, my own credit card!" he said smiling, c'mon guys, lets go and get this over with so we can eat!"
many replies in favor of this followed and everyone left.
Me: A Big thanks to everyone once more, I'll try to write a longer one next time, when I have more than three hours of sleep to work off of. R&R!
