Forbidden Love!

Chapter 4: Tears Of Joy- Yoh's P.O.V

I was sitting at the table of the room Margaret (the old woman) had let me stay in when I heard a loud knock at the door. I got up and put the paper I'd been writing on back into my pocket. I opened the door to find Horo standing there… looking at me…

"…You… wonna come in…?" I asked, allowing him to pass me.

"Sure." He said.

We stood there in silence for a few seconds, and then Horo began to talk.

"Look dude, you've been avoiding Ren for ages. Have you two had a fight or something? And what's with the whole thing in the barn?"

I didn't answer.

"What did you fall out over?"

Again I didn't answer, just looked at the floor.

'I'm not ashamed of you Ren. I just want to know if you feel the same way.'

Horo startled me as he tried to grab what was in my pocket.

"Come on man, just let me see!" he urged, trying to reach my pocket.

"No!" I yelled, holding his hands away, "Get out Horo!"

I forced Horo out of my room and into the hall way, then I slammed the door, waiting a few seconds encase he decided to come back in… he didn't.

I sat at the table and once again got out the paper and placed it onto the table. I was about to write on it when I was disturbed by another knock at the door.

"Come in!" I said through gritted teeth.

"Sorry to disturb you, but dinner will be ready shortly." Said Margaret, and quickly left to tell the others.

I had only written a few words when another knock at the door was enough to make me mad.

"What!" I said, opening the door.

I wished I could take back my words as I saw Ren standing there.

"Ren- sorry-I-I thought you were-"

I was surprised when Ren walked in and told me to shut the door.

All was quiet.

"…Hi." I said, being the first to break the silence between us.

"Humph." Smiled Ren, his expression calm and relaxed.

I felt myself go red as I felt Ren watched my every move.

'Could it be possible for Ren to feel the same way? To feel what I feel? To have the feelings I have?'

Silence.

"Master Yoh, come quick!"

I sighed and quickly ran downstairs, wondering why Ren didn't follow, but I couldn't worry about that now, what if they were in trouble and needed my help?

A few minuets later I came back up, mumbling to myself why Ryu had pulled me away from Ren because of a stupid little rat.

I opened the door to my room only to discover that Ren had gone. I sighed at the emptiness of the room and sat down on the chair.

"What!" I shouted, "Why? Who? How?"

I looked at the spot were I'd left my paper- it was gone! I started to panic and look in strange places.

Just as I was about to give up the search, a light coming from within the wardrobe caught my eye. I slowly moved towards it and reached out towards the door knob.

"Yoh!"

I could hear Lyserg's unsteady voice shouting from downstairs.

"Yoh!"

I neglected the wardrobe and rushed out of the door and downstairs, giving whatever was in the wardrobe a chance at freedom.
