Okay so this is my second chap already… please review my story because you just don't know how happy I am to receive reviews from you. (Imagine a girl jumping up and down all over the living room shouting happily just because the number of her reviews changed.)

Even if you don't like it… I'm so sorry but I'll never stop trying.

Chapter 2

Many days passed after Hao Asakura gave Pirika that advice, which really did help her a lot.

But as each day pass by, Pirika learned how delicate an Ainu's heart is when it comes to love. Since Ren Tao was always there to help her fix her oniichan's dates the two became closer and closer to each other.

"Look at them… they're perfect for each other." Pirika whispered as she and Ren sat from afar looking at Tamao and Horohoro playing around the park.

Tamao was now scolding Horo for scaring away the pigeons in the park. Horohoro was like a little boy whenever Tamao is like that.

"How did you say that? I mean how did you know that they're perfect for each other?" Ren asked in a cold voice.

Horo was now looking like a fool, calling the pigeons to come back as Tamao just laughed. Ren thinks falling in love make a boy lose his sanity, but then again… Horohoro was never rational.

Pirika sighed, as much as she adores the boy, he can never love her back. He was just too cold for love. She even believes that the Chinese Shaman knows nothing about the emotion called 'love'.

"I just know. There are such things in this world that you just know. Sometimes you don't need your reasons anymore, since your heart already understands it." Pirika answered as Ren just stared at her.

He might know how to fight or to summon spirits but he would never know how it is to love someone in the most unusual way.

"I thought so… love dissolves reason. Making people lose their wits." Ren murmured coldly in his normal arrogant way.

His voice was so low but Pirika still heard all of it. She suddenly stood up gracefully and faced the Chinese.

"So you'll never fall in love?" she asked in a very innocent tone.

"My mother and my sister are the only women in my heart. So I think I would never fall in love… the kind of love you are expecting… ever." He said in a voice that is somehow a threat.

Pirika's world almost crumbled upon hearing that. Though she doesn't know why she would bother to consider that the Chinese Shaman would fall in love, she can't help to be hurt.

Pirika's eyes turned sad. Ren doesn't know why he felt the guilt upon seeing her like that. Ren the started scolding himself at that back of his head.

'Why can't you do anything right?' He thought, 'you know you like Pirika and you adore the way she smiles and talk to you… but telling her that you can never love again? That's so rude.'

He was fighting with himself again. It was like a weird psychological disorder inside of him that he cannot seem to overcome since that girl came into his life. He knows it was so weird but still he can't stop himself.

"Shut up." he uttered, and with that Pirika suddenly looked at him. She thought he was talking to her.

"What were saying?" Pirika asked.

"Nothing." Ren answered looking away from her cerulean eyes.

VVVVV

After a year Horohoro and Tamao ended up with each other just after Yoh and Anna finally got married. Today was actually their anniversary so Horohoro devised a plan to celebrate it.

"Please Ren!" Horohoro said almost begging to the Chinese Shaman.

"Even though how much you beg and grumble at my feet I would never baby-sit your sister!" Ren shouted to the Ainu.

"But Ren…"

"No buts! What part of NO did you not understand?" and with that Ren started to leave the room they were in.

Horohoro would never accept a 'no' for an answer even though Ren made the point very clear. Ren stepped his right foot when Horohoro instantly threw himself on the ground and leaped on the other foot, clutching it as if his life depended on it. Ren on the other hand, continued to walk not minding the weight of the Ainu clinging on his foot.

"Please Ren… I know that she might be a pain in the neck but isn't she beautiful or sweet for a cold hearted Shaman like you? Don't you like my sister?" Horohoro cried out. He was already desperate.

Ren then stopped as if that strikes a chord in his brain, he then and looked down at Horohoro. Ren can't believe that he would sell his little sister like that... but what the heck… it was an offer he could not resist.

"Oh, okay!" Ren finally agreed.

Horohoro finally let go of Ren and stood straight but soon after he started jumping for joy.

This is relatively short compared to the first one… I just want to make this chapter a transition to the next things that will happen between the two of them. Please review this… please.
