Chapter 3

Yoh sat down on the bed " Of course it hurts.." he said his voice had an empty sound to it that made Ryu uneasy. "I'll go get us some tea.." Ryu smiled weakly heading to the door. The Yoh of today always made him feel somewhat cold. He didn't like this. He had wondered if he'd ever get that calm soothing shaman back. Faust had been acting very strange as well, deciding to tell Manta everything now. He couldn't understand the logic in it. He felt it's either he be told right away or never told at all. He sighed reaching the kitchen. Faust sat there, staring blankly at the table cloth his hands on his face.

" Is something wrong?" Ryu looked over at him a certain tenderness in his voice.

" I was just thinking of Eliza...and Manta..." Faust whispered.

" What about..?" He sat down in the large black chair beside him.

" I wonder if I hurt Eliza by us becoming lovers...and I know I hurt Manta by not telling him about Hao.. but I thought maybe... if I waited to tell him it wouldn't hurt so bad..." Faust explained softly his eyes becoming wide.

" If Eliza truelly loves you... she'll be happy that your love life is happy again" Ryu looked over at him a look of sincere concern on his tired face.

" I think I understand.. but Manta..." He shook a bit.

" I feel you should have told him right away... its going to take time for him to heal and time for him to trust you again Faust-kun...." Ryu looked away.

" But..." Faust shivered.

" I'm sorry.... everyone has to learn from their mistakes..." Ryu said moving to the sink to fill the kettle.

"yes..." faust sighed.

Yoh sat down on the bed staring at the floor. cold beads of sweat running down his forehead as he looked over at the window.

" Dammit Manta...Dammit Hao..." Yoh breathed.

" err... I have the Tea..." Ryu walked into the room talking softly

" thanks..." yoh took it a bit shakily and sat down on the floor blowing away the steam that rose from the mint green porcelain cup in his pale hands.

Manta walked along the side walk it felt cold he looked over blinking slightly as he saw a jacket store and he reached in his pocket to take out his wallet. He was cold and needed something warm to wear if he wanted to keep walking like this..
