A Relaxing Vacation
By Fireworx
Chapter Seven: Day Five: Resort's Opening
The resort was usually noisy since they arrived. Because they were noisy in the first place.
But this day, the noise was not coming only from them...
It was the Resort's official opening!
And a sponsor had a carnival made just outside the main building, too! Yeah, it would be hard to sleep at night, but it'd be fun... at least before they blow it up.
"Are you going to ribbon cutting thing?" Pirica later asked Tamao.
Tamao nodded slowly. "I guess it would only be polite to do so..."
Pirica grinned. "You're right." She shifted her attention to Horo who was eating some cake. "What about you?"
Horo mumbled something incoherent, since his mouth was full of cake. Pirica looked at him in disgust.
"I'm not going." Ren said as Pirica gave him a questioning look.
"Why not?" The Ainu girl asked curiously.
"Coz I said so."
Pirica gave a huff. "I was only asking."
Someone knocked to the cabin, and Yoh got up to answer it. He opened the door slowly and was about to talk when--
"Ren-chaaan!!" A loud voice yelled as a Chinese-looking teenager about their age came rushing in.
Silence.
Ren looked like it was Hao who walked through the door. Angry, surprised and... terrified.
"Well?" The new boy answered, grinning at Ren. "Won't you come and greet you cousin?"
Yoh, who was still at the door, stood up. The boy had thrown him aside when he rushed in. Anna was furious as this as Yoh closed the door behind him.
"Cousin?" Horo repeated, after he gulped down the last of his cake.
"He won't even introduce me... che..." The boy scowled. "My name's Shilin. Ren's favorite cousin."
"Favorite cousin my butt!" Ren retorted, his face flushed.
Shilin looked at him, mocking pain on his face.
"Anyway!" Shilin continued, getting over his pretend pain rather quickly. "Who's Pirica?"
Pirica blinked. "Huh?"
"So you're Pirica?" Shilin asked, smiling at her. "Cousin Jun told me that Ren liked you alot... oh no, I wasn't supposed to say that."
"Heh? Huh? What?" Pirica flushed. Horo looked at her weirdly.
Krash.
Ren had kicked his 'favorite cousin' out the window.
Tamao winced at the broken glass. That looked like it hurt alot.
"But don't fear." Shilin's head popped out from outside the window.
"Gyah!" Tamao shrieked in surprise and backed away.
"Shilin is here." He hopped in and walked towards Pirica. "I guess I'll be seeing you in the opening?"
Pirica, still flushed, shrugged her shoulders slowly.
"A-anyway..." Pirica started. "This is Horo, my brother and--"
"I don't need to know them, for I shall not remember." Shilin stated, smiling at her. "I don't think I'll remember anything else after you, for you are the center of my thoughts now."
"That's so cheezy!" Horo yelled, throwing his plate at him. The plate shattered, but Shilin didn't seem to take any notice.
"Even the Shaman King... you're far greater than him." Shilin stated, taking Pirica's hand.
That did it. Anna's vein popped and she slammed him against the wall.
Shilin blinked and looked up at her... she had her two Shinigamis at her background.
"You hurt Yoh, then you destroy the windows and a plate--" She started. Sweatdrops here and there. Shilin didn't exactly destroy the last two, but Anna was right in her side. "And you dare insult my future husband?!"
"Future husband...? Shaman King..?" Shilin blinked. He looked around, and looked at Horo. "You're the Shaman King?! This is so exciting!"
Everyone choked, except Horo and Anna. Anna seemed even more furious, and Horo was staring at Shilin. Anna? His wife in the future? What a frightening thought...
"YOU--" Followed by inhuman curses, and a crash in the roof as she sent Shilin flying away.
Pause.
"Yoh." Anna started.
"H-hai?" Yoh replied nervously.
"Fix this mess."
"Hai..." He sighed in exasperation.
Ren, flushed, stared at Pirica, who was blushing furiously and staring at the Shilin-shaped hole on the ceiling.
"You don't like him... do you?" Ren asked her, in an annoyed voice.
Pirica, who looked hypnotized, looked at him.
"I don't know." She replied. It's just that no one ever told her that before... and hearing it from someone, no matter how pathetic that someone was, gave her a really special feeling.
"Get over it." Ren scowled at her, before walking away.
"I like him better than you, to say the least." Pirica said under her breath before tackling her brother who was stealing her slice of cake.
"Like him, then! I don't care!" Ren yelled at her, his eyes furious.
"Fine!" Pirica yelled back, after smashing her piece of cake at Horo's face. "You... you inconsiderate idiot!"
"Inconsiderate of what? Your feelings?" Ren raised his eyebrow at her. "It's not as if you have any feelings for me." He said this sarcastically. But it did hurt him to say that.
"Yeah, well not anymore!" Pirica shrieked at him before following Tamao to the kitchen. Tamao had retreated to the kitchen after feeling terribly uncomfortable in that scene.
"Heh?" Ren blink in surprise.
"Anymore?" Horo and Yoh blinked at eachother in surprise.
Anna rolled her eyes and followed Tamao and Pirica.
"I don't approve of Ren, whatsoever." Horo told Yoh. "If I get a choice, the brother's pick is Shilin."
Yoh sweatdropped, but Ren didn't seem to hear him as he left the cabin in fury.
-------------
It hurt...
Love hurt, big time. Tamao was on her futon, reading some manga. This was vacation, she should have been out by the carnival with everyone else.
But she was hurt. Hit in the chest, the impact hard enough to kill.
She sighed to herself.
"Hey, Tamao!" Horo's voice yelled as he entered the room. "Why didn't you follow like you said you were?"
Tamao sweatdropped and put her manga down as Horo plopped down on the futon infront of her. "I just didn't feel like it... gomen."
"Sure." Horo replied. "It was pretty redundant, anyway. Just Ren and sis making a scene again."
"Oh."
"I told you to forget Yoh, didn't I?!" Horo asked her, his voice angry.
Tamao winced and burried her face on the pillow that was on her lap.
"Heh?" Horo blinked.
"Gyah..." Tamao mumbled against her pillow. "I feel weird."
"Idiot." Horo said under his breath. "You ain't even listening."
"..."
"......."
"I really, feel sick... I think I'm sick..." She said, looking up at him.
"Heh." Horo stared at her. "You can see me now?"
She chuckled. "Sorry... but I just don't want to talk about Yoh."
"Heh."
"C'mon, don't be mad..." Tamao said, sweatdropping.
Horo ignored her, but his insides were laughing. It was kind of fun teasing this girl...
"Horo-kun...!" Tamao stammered.
Ignore.
"Horo-kun!!"
Ignoring still...
But a quick kiss did make him blush and fall on his back in surprise.
"Huh?!" Horo questioned in shock.
She laughed faintly. "I was trying to see if that would get you to stop ignoring me."
Horo cursed under his breath and sat upright again. "You play dirty."
She smiled at him. "Gomen."
He rolled his eyes.
"Did you want to tell me anything, so you went here?" Tamao asked, blinking.
This time, he had the advantage again on teasing. "It's a secret."
"Ah...?"
"But I'll tell you anyway."
He didn't exactly 'tell' her. Horo was the kind of guy who didn't think before acting. He'd jump headfirst into situations without thinking of consequences. He was also the kind of person who could express himself better in actions, than in words.
He had leaned forward and laid his lips on hers lightly. They're second kiss... if it counted.
"Ah..." Tamao said against his lips, totally surprised.
"I don't think I can make you forget about that idiot, Yoh..." He said, after pulling away and wrapping her small body in his arms. "But I can replace him, if you want."
"You can't replace him." She whispered under her breath.
"Ouch."
"Because I think I like you more."
-------------
"Don't trust him." Ren said, as he sat on the branch of a old, big tree. Pirica looked up at him, flowers in her hand. From Shilin.
"Why not?" She asked curiously.
"Because he's just going this to torture you in the end." Actually, it's to torture *me*. "So don't trust him."
Pirica huffed. "Why would he do that?"
"Because..."
Because he hates me.
"Because?" Pirica repeated.
"Just because!" Ren yelled, his patience out. "Just don't!"
"Give me a good reason, first." Pirica stated.
Because I love you, moron.
"Because I SAID SO!" Ren fumed.
"I'm going out with him."
"Huh?"
"Yeah." Pirica said. "I don't really see why you have the right to get angry, more so order me and tell me who not to trust! Why should I trust *you* in the first place?! If I trusted you, and not trusted him, in the end, how should I have known it was right not to trust him and let him trust me back?!"
Silence.
"I didn't understand a word you just said." Ren mumbled, hopping down from the tree and landing in front of her. "Just be careful, okay?"
Pirica blinked. Was this Ren?
"Or I'm going to BASH your stupid head on a wall!"
Yeah. This was Ren.
Too late, Ren... Pirica just bashed your head on the wall.
-------------
Yoh walked back to the lake where Anna was waiting for him. He had just went to the cabin to get some weights.
Anna had insisted he train that day, because he hadn't trained for about a week, and in Anna time, that was long.
He was thinking to himself. He had just heard and saw Tamao and Horo... in a scene he least expected.
"They should have closed the door!" He mumbled to himself.
"What?" Anna stared at him.
He shook his head.
"Neh..."
"What?" Anna asked, as she clasped the weights on him.
"Can I have a reward?"
"What?!"
"A kiss." Yoh laughed. "I saw Horo and Tamao--... so... I was wondering how it would feel..."
"Horo and Tamao..." Anna said under her breath, nearly dropping the weights in her hand.
Yoh laughed and didn't wait for her response to his question. He just gave her a quick smack on the lips.
And before she could react, and bash his head, he had already ran around the lake for his first few laps.
