Chapter 4: A Drop in the Ocean
Bottles of milk clank together as I walk towards Yoh's house. It's raining cats and dogs right now and it's so hard balancing my milk and the food I brought just in case Yoh burns dinner and the umbrella I'm holding. I smile as I think about Yoh. He's so...Yoh-ish. His immaturity is best described as warm and addictive. He makes me worry all the time because he is so careless. But the thing is, sometimes, I feel like he's the one looking after me. Oh yeah, that silly little grin of mine is tugging at the edges of my mouth again...drat. How am I supposed to keep my "I am not a part of this stupidity" glare if I keep on daydreaming off about Yoh?
Ha, I never thought I'll be put in this sort of dilemma. I always thought love made you weaker. That having someone who you have to worry about held you back. But that is not true. Loving Yoh has made me stronger. It gave me something else to live for. It gave me something else to care for. And I think that was the greatest gift anyone could give me.
As I have said before, Yoh is like the wind, a strong yet gentle, indestructible warm wind. I am like fire, easy to anger and harmful and helpful all at once. But I realized something, fire can not survive without wind but the wind could also easily put out the fire. The wind can also spread the fire. The wind can not be hurt by the fire. Hum...what is all this gibberish about fire and wind about...have I been reading too many Saiyuki yaoi fanfics? Oye, no more romance fiction for me.
And there is Hao. There is something about Hao that really draws me to him. Is it that we are both have so much in common? Both of our families have tried to kill and injure us. We both use to have a great dislike for humanity. We also have a love for fire and destruction. Well, I use to have a love for fire and destruction. I don't know about Hao. He died...well so we thought.
It's amazing how it's so easy to label things as evil. My family has been called evil by a lot of people including Anna. Hao has been called evil. But is there such thing as called evil? If we are doing whatever means necessary for the improvement of others, is it evil? If we have sacrificed our consciousness for others, are we evil? If we have been hurt and beaten down by others and we hope to find a better place for ourselves, are we evil? Are the problems of the world that easily distinguishable?
I really don't think Hao is evil. Yes he was bent on the destruction of mankind, but in a sense most of the Shaman King wannabes are like that too. Horo Horo wanted to destroy the existing cities to build a field of these leaf thingys that his spirit would live in. Faust wanted to stop death which would harm humanity eventually and destroy nature's cycle. And of course, at first I wanted to destroy humans but later just wanted to make the world a better place.
I almost dropped my bag in shock. Speak of the devil. Hao is there, walking in the rain, his hair all wet and stuck together and with a bag at hand. He seems to be in his own little world, his eyes focused on floor. His usual air of superiority seemed to have disappeared, leaving a lost person whose goal in life have been destroyed. I wonder if he even noticed me. He kind of reminded of a kicked puppy. Can Hao look like a kicked puppy? O.o
Instinctively, I walked towards Hao and put a hand on his shoulder while putting my umbrella under is soaked head. He finally acknowledged by presence and starred at me with big eyes. Imagine this, me surprising the all powerful Hao.
"You came back from the dead and you didn't even say hi" I said, hoping a little humor would relax him a little. It seemed to work and his shoulder relaxed.
"I figured I'll surprise you tomorrow" as he looked down to the bag he was holding. Looking inside, I saw a school uniform. My eyes widened.
"See you tomorrow Ren" and Hao started to leave.
"Wait" I said before he could leave.
"You could talk to me, if you need someone to talk to" talk about me being totally ineloquent. (sighs) Well, I was never Mr. Sensitive.
But then, Hao smiled. Not one of those "mwah ha ha, humanity shall die" smiles or "I'm better than you are" or "You're going to die now!" smiles. It was one of those smiles that showed his gratitude and thanks. I found myself smiling in return. In a whirlwind of fire, Hao disappeared.
I stood there for a little while, first looking at the place where Hao once stood, then looking up at the stars. One of the stars seemed to have winked at me. Is it mocking me?! Errrrrrrrrrrr...I hate it when people know something I don't. Wait, stars are actual organisms... This situation is killing my brain cells. I sighed again and started for Yoh's house again.
I finally reached Yoh's house. I have a key to Yoh's house already so I let myself in. Even from the front door, I could hear Yoh humming our new favorite song.
Fukisusabu kaze no naka de
kono PURAIDO wo sutesaru koto ga dekiru darou ka
koukai to shinjitsu no iro ga
kokoro wo matteiru
Mainichi ga kakumei no naka de boku wa
itsumo kimi to issho ni itai
I smile as I try to sneak up on Yoh, as he is singing along with the song and trying to focus on the food. Just as I was about to put my hand on him, he turns around with a big smile. I could never win, can I?
"You're early!" Yoh said with a small pout.
"What? It's a crime to be early?"
"YES! Especially when I'm trying to cook for you! Good thing I'm almost done!"
"Well, I'm sorry" I said with a smile. The 'oh great Tao Ren' said I'm sorry. Man, I'm whipped and I've been dating for...a day or some?
"You should be! Shame on you! Since you're here, watch that pot, don't let it overflow. I'm going to change" with that, the threw a dazzling smile my way and went upstairs.
I started to walk around the kitchen, looking at what Yoh made. Humm...everything seems edible. That's good. I heard Yoh walking down the stairs. Wow, that was fast. His hair was still somewhat wet from the shower. But I wasn't really focusing on that...
His attire was different...He switched his usual cotton button down shirt to a silk white button down shirt that clung to all the right places. As usual, he didn't button that shirt and was wearing his claw necklace. He was wearing a pair of EXTREMELy low rise, tight dark blue jeans. In other words, he looks totally hot. And I thought I was being a tad exposing by wearing all those navel showing shirts and my jeans are never that...low. Is it just me, or did it get a little warm?
My eyes must have glazed over a little, because Yoh giggled and blushed. Awww...so cute, had it been anyone else, I would have said it was disgusting. Humm...something to distract me and him. Yes, distraction gooooood.
"I saw Hao a few minutes ago" I said. That totally changed the mood. I'm just wondering, good or bad?
"Oh, what did he say?"
"Nothing much, but he did look a little lost and confused. I never thought I'll be saying that about Hao"
"I think he just needs some time to think things through. He'll come to us eventually" what does he mean by 'come to us'...?
"But...I think we should think about what we're going to do now" Yoh threw at me a smoldering look. He started to walk towards my way, hips rolling seductively.
What have I gotten myself into?
Kenko: GO! GO! GO! YOH!
Ren muse: (Nose bleed)
Yoh: :-D
Hao: I wanted to be a part of it!!
Kenko: It will come in time.
Hao: Make her write faster by reviewing!
Kenko: LUV U ALL
Ren muse: Do we look like we care?
Kenko: You have to, or I'll make u suffer!! (crackles evilly)
Ren muse: How? I'm suffering right now!
