Okay so now I really know that this will be longer than 10 chapters… sorry but I tried to make it short but I think this fic is meant to be 10 chapters long,

Delectable dialogues:

Pirika: "So what is it that you forgot? I didn't borrow anything from you?"

Ren: "No, because you took something from me."

Pirika: "What?"

Ren: "My heart… now you can never leave me. I'll die without you."

(This is taken from Accidentally in love… and its now here!)

So without further ado… the 10th chapter and it's still not finish!

Chapter 10: In The Bar

It took quite a while for Pirika to find the bar… hey when she scouted the ship she didn't went in the lower grounds. She took that long to find it that Gasuka had the chance to catch up on her.

As soon as she saw her master she started to talk about what happened between the two. But Pirika wasn't listening… she kept on marching towards the bar, which she knew now the location.

"But Pirika, listen… Hao would never hurt you so why don't settle for him?"

"I will only be with a man because of love and not because he can't turn me into an ice sculpture! Sure I like him as a brother but more than that I think I can't handle it."

"But don't tell me you didn't like it?" Gasuka said, with her brows rising up suggestively.

"Liked what?"

"You now… when his lips met yours. When you surrendered yourself to him..."

Pirika stopped and looked at Gasuka who just gasped.

"I didn't surrender myself to him! I just let him do it… because," she paused thinking of a realistic answer, "because… I thought that it would help me. You know… forget about R-Ren."

Gasuka smiled softly and laid her hands on Pirika's shoulders.

"Then I won't tease you anymore. Where are you going anyway?"

"In the bar… my oniichan once said that you can forget abut your problems by drinking."

With that Pirika finally entered the bar.

----------------

It was not that dark after all, actually there's a stage in front where a performer was singing.

Pirika walked towards the bartender…

"One beer." She said in a man's voice. Since she looked like a man then why not becomea man.

"Okay." The bartender said looking suspicious.

Pirika took it and paid for it at once. She then looked for somewhere to sit. 'Good thing there's not too much people here. It's embarrassing.' She thought

But as she looked round the bar she saw the most surprising sight she had ever seen.

"He looks familiar." The spirit suddenly said.

"Of course he looks familiar… THAT'S REN!" she whispered to herself, squealing a bit.

"Really? Wow he looks a lot like Yuan," Gasuka commented looking at Pirika, just to see her walking towards him.

"What are you doing?" she asked following her master at once.

"I'm going to talk to him." Pirika said, determined.

"Why?"

"Because I want to… I miss him." She said, halting a little.

Gasuka didn't say anything anymore. Pirika on the other hand, fixed his cap and jacket and prepared for anything. She walked towards Ren and took a chair from his table. She was the sitting in front of him.

"W-who are you?" he asked. Pirika noticed at once that he was drunk. There were many bottles all over his table and his eyes are not that focused anymore. 'Ren… what have I done to you?'She thought as his appearance was striking her conscience.

"Just wanna have a drink with you, man? What's the matter?" Pirika asked, still having that weird manly voice.

"What do you care?" Ren roughly said gulping another bottle.

"Well… to tell you the truth I also have a problem and I need someone to talk to."

"But why bug me? You can talk to the bartender for hell I care?"

"But I think the bartenders perverted… if you know what I mean?" Pirika said, winking.

"You're like my friend… you see another friend of mine keeps on bugging him, thinking that he is a girl." Ren then stopped and stared at Pirika closely. Pirika then laid his hands on her lap and trying as hard as she could to avoid his gaze or drown in his stare.

Ren smirked, a grin that made Pirika a bit worried… has she been identified already?

"You know you look like someone!" Ren said, his body swaying and seems to losing balance.

"Who?" Pirika said trying to cover her face with the cap. Ren stared at her, examining her thoroughly.

"HORO-HORO!" Ren shouted pointing at her and laughing at the same time.

Pirika sighed in relief. She really thought she was already busted.

"Really, tell me about him?"

The two then continued to talk. Pirika was still safe. Ren couldn't help to talk about his friends while Pirika just listens. Pirika drank a few bottles while listening to him. The two were laughing and joking and were just acting foolish. Good thing Pirika was there, for Ren was really, really, really, really, DRUNK!

Finally Pirika suddenly noticed that she was using her regular voice… but most of all they were already talking about their problems.

"I really love her… from the bottom of my heart. I mean… she's the girl for me." Ren cried out.

"How do you know she was for you?" Pirika can't help but ask.

"I just know. Every time she's near… my heart is contented, every time I hold her, my soul finds his home. That's how I know."

Pirika almost cried; she was blushing furiously. Her heart was almost beating thrice than normal upon hearing his words.

"But what if you two aren't meant for each other?" Pirika can't help to ask. Her voice softening even more… turning into a girl

"Damn!" Ren suddenly shouted slamming his fist at the table, "I don't care if we were meant for each other or not… all I know is she owns my heart…" his stare then soften looking directly at her eyes. "And I can't live without her –without my heart."

'Is he really drunk?' Pirika is already having second thoughts. This man is serious and all his words are very sincere. A thought then flashed in the back of her mind.

"So what is it that you forgot? I didn't borrow anything from you?" I said trying to avoid his gaze. "No, because you took something from me." "What?" I said in surprise, finally lifting my gaze to meet his golden eyes. "My heart… now you can never leave me. I'll die without you."

"Hey! Are you still there?" Ren asked snapping his fingers before her eyes.

"Um… yeah I'm still here." Pirika snapped. She drank one more time just to wet her lips.

"I think I better go now." Pirika finally decided.

"Wait! I thought you want someone to talk to you?" Ren said grabbing her shoulders.

"Um… my guardian is waiting for me." Pirika said, scanning her mind for any liable reason.

"Guardian…" Ren uttered, as his grip slowly loosens. Seeing an upset look on his face, she preferred to stay.

"I was her guardian… at least that was I thought my role in her life was." Ren started. He drank once more and wiped the beer off his lips abruptly, "I promised her that I would protect her even more than her brother… you know the one that looks like you. I wanted that feeling once more to come back to me, the feeling of protecting someone. That's the least I can do to someone who taught me to love…but I failed, I let that devil take her from me."

"No you didn't fail. You did your job well."

"How did you know?"

"I can tell from your eyes… um… Ren."

"Hmm…"

"You know what you didn't fail… to tell you the truth you were victorious in keeping her safe. And I know that wherever she is she is safe and sound. Thankful that you came into her life…" she said in an amazing one breath.

"… What if I tell you now that she's in front of you already? Ren." Pirika said consolingly as she noticed that Ren was already slumped to the table.

Pirika then checked him again… just to see that he's given in the call of intoxication. He can't really win against sleep.

Pirika's lips curved into a smile.

"Gasuka, help me take him back to his room." Pirika said almost begging.

----

"I think I can help him better." A voice from behind suddenly said.

Pirika looked at the one who said it just to see Yoh Asakura. Good thing it wasn't Hao. She still cannot face Hao… not yet.

"Yoh…"

"I know Pirika." Yoh said as he walked towards Ren, pulling his arm and carrying him into his back.

"I'll tell your brother that you're fine and I'll make sure Ren would get enough sleep. Don't worry I'll take care of him. Good thing my aniki takes care of you… and see you in Japan." Yoh said pasting that smile on his face.

"Um…okay. But wait here for a moment." Pirika said and with that she ran towards the bartender grabbing a pen and paper.

Yoh was confused a bit when she scribbled something in the pad but he just let her.

"Please give this to him as soon as he wakes up." Pirika said begging.

"Okay." Yoh agreed.

------

As soon as Yoh left Pirika left the bar herself and went to the upper part of the ship. Gasuka was confused a bit as to why her master was on the edge of the ship facing the ocean daringly.

"Gasuka, inside the cap…" Gasuka nod, "Oversoul!" and with her command Gasuka went inside the cap, which she took off. The cap then instantly turned into a mirror of some sort.

Pirika pointed the mirror to the ocean and from there, the part that she pointed at turned into solid ice.

Pirika then jumped down, landing on the ice. She then pointed the mirror to the water making a pathway of ice for her. She then looked at the furyoku-filled thing on her hand and in that gaze it turned into a snowboard.

"I just hope all my oniichan's lesson paid off." She muttered with a smile. She then hop on it and went off faster then the ship. She was planning to get to the land before the ship.
