Dead Mans Party
Chapter 2
A Very Dead Man Indeed
Yoh grimmiced as he lifted his heavy weights. "Gah, my arms are gonna fall off!" he said, struggling to lift the large, metal weight. Trey blinked, watching him, then glanced out of the corner of his eye, saw Anna watching the two. He smiled cheesily. ...here's my chance to impress her... he thought. Morty walked passed Anna, dragging a few training dummies. He glanced to Trey, noting the look on his face. "Uh oh, Trey's got that look on his face, stupidity can't be far behind." he said, continuing to drag the large dummie to where Ryo and Lenny were. Anna blinked, watching Morty, her arms crossed, her hair and dress blowing softly in the wind. "Yahhhh, look at me Anna!" shouted Trey, lifting a massive weight over his head. Anna just rolled her eyes. "Idiot, put that down before you hurt yourself." she snapped, Trey laughing insanely. He blinked some, feeling his weight shift to his left, he collapsed to the ground, bearly missing Yoh, who managed to leap out of the way. "Idiot!" shouted Anna, stomping over to Trey. She kicked him several times in the behind, Trey screaming like a girl. "Ow! Ow! Hey!" he shouted, with each kick. "You almost hit Yoh." she said, her hands on her hips. Trey continued to shout as Anna continued to kick him. "Gah, please no more!" he cried, smirking. Anna growled, kicking him hard. "OW" he cried. "Get up you whimp." she demanded, crossing her arms once more. Trey was on his feet instanly. "I want 50 laps before the morning is over." she said, turning as she began to walk back to the dojo, Jun sitting at the edge of the porch. "50 laps!? Piece of cake!" he said, playfully punching at the air. "Did I mention it had to be with the double weights?" she asked, Trey falling over anime style. "Not the double weights!" he cried. "See, stupidty wasn't far behind." said Morty, chuckling lightly as he continued to set up the dummies.
Anna joined Jun near the porch, turned to watch the others continue thier training. "They've really improved quite a bit if I do say so myself, even Trey has." Anna nodded, crossing her arms. "They still have a long way to go", Jun nodded, agreeing. Anna looked at the ground, feeling a bit uneasy about going out for a little while. "You have nothing to worry about." said Jun, Anna blinking a bit as she looked to her. Jun smiled. Anna blushing some, quickly looking away. "Who said I was worried?" ask Anna, trying to keep her cool. Jun smiled, closing her eyes as her hair blew gently in the breeze. "I can see it Anna, you're afraid to leave, afraid something will happen to Yoh..." she said as gently as she could, trying to not upset her further. Anna blinked, feeling her cheeks heat up. She narrowed her eyes a bit, gettng angry. So what if she was worried and possibly overly paranoid!? It wasn't her fault...though she still felt like it was. She knew she would eventually have to go out on her own again at some point, weather she liked it or not. All in all, it was something that had to happen. However, she couldn't help but worry about Yoh, couldn't bear to come back and find him missing or changed.
She sighed once more, nodding her head. "I'll be back soon." she said softly, grabbing her red bandana, carefully tieing it. She then picked up her bag, Jun nodding to her. "Try not to worry dear, i'll be sure to keep them in line." replied Jun, giving Anna a smile and a nod, Anna doing the same. She then walked down the path, the boys stopping their training, watching her. "Hey Anna, where ya goin?" asked Yoh, looking to her, now holding the wieght in his hand at his side. Anna shrugged a bit, stopping as she neared him. "I just need to pick up a few things, i'll be back soon." she answered, Yoh nodding. "Alright, be careful." he said, her nodding. He smiled, leaning to her, quickly kissing her lips, both their cheeks heating up. She blinked for a moment, stunned, the others giggling girlishly. She glaired at them. "Get back to training now!" she shouted, quickly turning and exiting the area. "I love you!" shouted Yoh, Anna smiling. "I love you too." she replied. "I love you more!" shouted Trey, watching as Anna walked off. "Just for that, do 75 laps with the double weights." she said, Trey falling over. The others all pointed and laughed at Trey, who laid on his side on the ground, his elbow resting on the ground, his chin resting in his hand. His other hand lay on the ground, tapping his fingers, pouting. "Awww, poor Trey." said Yoh, playfully poking his cheek. "Did Anna punish him again?" asked Ryo, lightly poking the back of Trey's head. "Pah, she's just being difficult." said Trey. The others nodding. "Yeah...that's it..." said Yoh, trying not to laugh. Trey narrowed his eyes at him. "Ohhh, he's glaring at you Yoh, you'd better watch out!" said Morty, smirking. Trey just rolled his eyes. "Do you guys enjoy picking on me?" he asked. "Well, yeah, it's fun." said Yoh, blinking a bit, their spirits laughing. "Come on Trey, you best be starting on your laps." said a voice from behind the group. They all turned to see Jun, sitting on the edge of the porch.
She smiled to them, adjusting her dress some. "Come now, its almost ten o' clock, you only have two hours to do your 75 laps." Trey blinked, standing now. "Heh, i'll have those laps done before eleven o' clock!" he said, quickly jogging off. "Oh, don't forget the weights." said Jun, Trey falling over. "No, not the weights!" he cried. Jun motioning to them. He whined as he began to put them on, Yoh and the others helping to secure them to his wrist and legs. Jun smiled, watching, was happy to see Lenny helping. "Awww, Lenny, you're helping me, you are just too sweet man." said Trey sarcastically, Lenny rolling his eyes. He quickly pulled the tie to the weight, the leather strap crushing Trey's wrist. "OW!" shouted Trey. "Oh, I'm sorry, is that too tight?" asked Lenny, smirking sarcastically to his blue haired friend. "Yes, WAY too tight!" shouted Trey, quickly pulling his wrist from Lenny, losening the weight's strap, and rubbing his wrist indecently. He galaired at Lenny, Lenny only smirking. Trey adjusted the weight on his wrist and the others, secured them and headed off to do his seemingly endless number of laps. "Have fun!" shouted Lenny, Trey giving him an obsence gesture. "My eyes!" shouted Morty, covering his eyes with his hands qucikly. "My eyes have been soiled!" he shouted, running off. The others laughed, as did Jun. "Ah, well its not that bad Morty." said Yoh, watching his short friend bump into one of the dummies. "Ack!" he said, falling and landing on his back. Jun watched as they continued to laugh, smiling herself. She was happy to see Lenny smirk and actually attempt to be social wiht his friends. ...his only friends... she thought, feeling a bit sad, but happy at the same time. He had been alone for so long, but now, finally had people his age, whom he could talk to, who actually quite possibly understood him. And for that she would be forever grateful. She staired off for a moment, letting her thoughts drift. It was so beautiful out, so warm and sunny-- then she felt it. Someone was coming to the dojo. She blinked a bit, not getting any bad vibes, but also didn't know who it was, only sensing it was a male. ...perfect.... she thought, figuring Hao was planning to pay a visit to them. She stood now, quitely, not wanting to make a sence. "Li Pai Long..." she said softly, her spirit already standing behind her. "I know, I sense it too." She nodded, turning now, heading for the dojo door. "I'll be right back, you boys continued to train." she said, the others nodding. "Oh, i'll make sure they do." siad Ryo, Jun smiling, giving him a wink as she entered the dojo, shutting the door behind her, leaving Ryo to drool as the others watched. "What an idiot..." said Lenny, Yoh laughing a bit. "That idiot might be your brother-in-law!" he said playfully. Len freaked out, getting restrained by Morty. "Don't say that, not even joking around!" he shouted, the others continuing to laugh.
The young blonde male continued down the street, quickly slipping into an alley. It was quite here, somewhat dark, easy for him to blend in and get away from the crowds. Not to mention, it made it easier to get to the dojo. It would lead him to the backroads and to the small neighborhood. He quickened his pace some, wanting to get to the dojo before the massive storm clouds in the distance rolled in. He carried on, watching as a large black cat crossed his path. He couldn't help but smile, death and bad luck seemed to follow him everywhere. He didn't care though, he had his precious Eliza with him. Yes, she was tucked safely in his coat, her head resting against his chest. He smiled, patting the area lightly. "Were almost there my love..." he whispered, smiling as he reached into the massive coat, caressing her head, which was now, nothing more then skull. He was happy being able to have her with him, even if she was a little dead. He could see her whenever he wanted to, using his furioku to restore the beauty which was now long gone. He shifted his weight a bit, the suitcase in his right hand shaking a bit, whimpering sounds coming from it. "I know boy, but we're almost there, then you can come out of that stuffy case." he said, the whimpering cecing. Faust VIII continued on now, smiling, anticipating his welcome from everyone,couldn't wait to see the looks on their face when they saw a dead man on thier steps. ..indeed, a very dead man... he thought, smirking as he carried on his walking.
