Chapter 3

The next day, Friday, Kira and Anna were getting ready to leave the house that afternoon. When Yoh ask why Anna just said that they were going on an errand, then she told Yoh to make dinner because they wouldn't be back for a couple of hours. At that same moment Kira was saying some thing to Hao as well, but Yoh couldn't hear what she said. Hao frowned when he heard the news, but after Kira said something else he reluctantly nodded his head. After seeing Anna and Kira off Yoh went inside to cook dinner. As he was getting ingredients out of the refrigerator Hao came up behind Yoh. Yoh, still going through the fridge, asked, "What is it Hao?" "Aren't you the least bit worried about us here alone? After all I could easily kill you right now." "I know, but I also know you won't too. I now that I'm safe." "." "Did you need something else?" "I came to help you with dinner." Yoh looked at Hao with a surprised face. 'I never expected that from him, I mean I knew I was going to be safe enough but for him to offer helping with dinner?' Hao looked at Yoh's face and added, "Kira told me to help you with dinner." "Oh." Yoh was a bit disappointed. As Hao asked, "What do you want me to do?" he couldn't help but think, 'Did Yoh just sound disappointed?' but he quickly dismissed the thought, followed the orders that Yoh just gave him. ~Meanwhile~ As Anna and Kira walk home Anna suddenly stopped and said, "Is it really okay?" Kira stopped a few steps ahead of Anna and replied, " It will be fine. Manta will just have to except it, the others too." "It seems you have every thing under control." So Anna and Kira began walking home again when Kira suddenly said, "Anna." "What?" "Just so you know, I will not take orders from you." "Is that so." "Yes." "It is fine with me." ~Back at the house~ As Hao and Yoh were setting the table Hao suddenly asked, "Yoh, where is that human friend of yours? What was his name, Manta?" "Manta is on a weekend trip with his family. He won't be back till late Sunday night. Why?" "No reason, I had just expected him to be here that's all." "Why are you slacking off Yoh?" said a new voice. "A-Anna.you're back all ready? Umm.we were just setting the table." "Oh. Then finish." After setting the table they ate dinner in silence. Yoh and Hao wash the dishes, only because Anna and Kira told them to. Afterwards they went to sleep. During the weekend Anna had not made Yoh do anything, except wash the dishes and cook the meals, with Hao's help thanks to Kira. Even with the amount of time they spent together, Hao and Yoh hardly talked, and when they did it never went past anything personal. On Sunday evening as Yoh and Hao were washing the dishes Kira came up to Hao and said, "Be sure to get up early tomorrow." "Why?" "We will be attending school tomorrow." "What?! Why?!" "Because I said so." "But I've no need for school!" "We are already enrolled might as well go." ".fine." "I have put some extra clothes in your room. Your clothes are on the top shelf and Yoh's are on the bottom shelf." and with that she left. Hao turned back towards the sink, when he suddenly noticed Yoh chuckling. "What's so funny?" "Nothing, that's just the first time I've seen you react to your emotions like that." "Really? Well I've never been one to reveal emotions so easily. Kira must have picked this particular moment to see my raw emotions." Suddenly Yoh began laughing again. "What are oh laughing at now?" "I'm trying to picture Manta's face when he sees you tomorrow." "No doubt he'll be surprised scared too." "Yeah."Said Yoh with a bright smile. Yoh thought he almost saw Hao smile as well, but let the topic go. Soon after finishing the dishes they went to sleep
