Cindy: Hey!! Why -sama on Hel and only -san for me?

Mari: glares And Cindy-san still has the nerve to ask.

Cindy: walks away T-T What did I do now??

To Cindy Asakura: Thanks...I do?? In my opinion, it's not half as good as some other stories...oh well. Anyways your English's really good considering that you live in Malaysia; it's expected when you live in Canada. (I guess) And your English gets better when you read proper- written material. (like good fan fictions)

To KikyoXInu fan: Thanks. Man, don't you guys read the author's notes anymore?? If not...then I'll cry 'cause I spent a lot of time into those notes!!

To jazzywolf: Thanks! :P And I already updated "Anything But Normal" so please tell me what you think.

Noooooo...only 3 reviews. That's way below my average. TAT

Chapter 3: The Invitation

A shadow crept up silently behind the humming head-phoned boy.

"Yoh, Chocolove invited us to New York. Do you want to go?" Anna asked in a bored tone.

Still busy listening to music, Yoh didn't hear his fiancée.

"YOH!!!!!!"

"Oh, hi Anna. Nanda yo?"

"I received a letter from Chocolove. He invited all of us to New York and here's a schedule on what we'll be doing there." the blond-haired girl said as she shoved the letter in front of Yoh.

"Eh? Watch the King of Jokes perform at 8 am, shopping at the mall at 9 am–"

"Well, do you want to go?" Anna interrupted, tapping her foot impatiently.

"If you really want to." Yoh replied as he looked up.

The memory of what had happened the other day flooded back into the itako's mind as she met the brunette's gaze. A crimson color crept up her cheeks. She quickly looked away. "Great, now let's start packing."

"..."

"Anyway, bring Manta with us. He'll pay for the vacation fee." the short-haired girl said as she started walking away.

"Demo...Anna."

"Nani, Yoh?" Anna stopped as she shot him a look that always freezes people.

"N-nothing."

"Now don't just stand there. Start packing NOW!!!"

To be continued...

Demo - But

Itako - Spirit Medium (roughly)

Nani - What

Nanda yo - What is it
