Ack. I couldn't believe it! Hao, my worst enemy, was going gentlemen like and was starting school, as well as living with Yoh, and me. It was awful, evil, devilry…

"Hello, Verisa." His voice sent shivers down my back. I refused to look at him. I wouldn't! I couldn't! Gah. Xx; I turned to face the other way to only find Yoh staring at me with his wide, curious eyes. I slid down in my desk. Pants, they were beautiful. Also, being teacher's pet was beautiful too. I was the only girl in the school who could wear pants. It was heaven. But, the two Asakura brothers both watching me…That was worse than the skirt.

"VERISA!" The teacher's voice was sharp. I fell all the way down out of my desk and sat there, looking like a total idiot. Anna helped me up, sitting right across from me. The English teacher gave me a stare that would have scared a ghost. I slinked back in my desk and put my head in my arms. groan Why? Why do I have to suffer when no one else does?

Because, you are my fiancée and trouble follows me, therefore, it will follow you.

gasp I looked over at Hao. He was grinning evilly. He could get in my head. It was the one thing I couldn't remember. He could get inside my head. I glared at him and straitened my back.

Get out of my head.

Why? You have some interesting memories.

I could feel his mind probing my own, reading my thoughts, seeing things that he shouldn't see. I tried getting him out, but it was not working. I tried harder. No avail.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I shouted and stood up, knocking over my desk and stopping the entire class from what they were doing. All eyes were upon me. Plus, it didn't work. Hao smirked and looked at his desk.

Too bad. Now, I have to save you from the teacher's wrath. Not.

Hao laughed at me as the teacher came up in my face. His breath was horrible. It smelled like sushi. He glared at me and hissed under his breath. "I think, Miss Ventaru that you need to see the counselor. As well as the school tailor. I think the freedom of pants is giving you the impression that you are free to do whatever you want." He stood up and walked to his desk. The bell rang. Every one rushed out, but I was held back. I groaned. Damn it. I listened to the stupid, fat, sushi-smelling teacher until he let me go, as well as a note to get out of class to go to the tailor to get a skirt. I glared at Hao as I walked out of the class room. He had waited for me!

0o; "WTH Hao? Are you my stalker now?" He put his arm around me. I shuddered and tried to push him away, but he only held on tighter. He grinned at my struggling and said, "I think you would look good in a skirt." That made me stop. I walked on, not sure what to say. He had gotten past my defenses and was using my weaknesses against me. He loosened his hold on me and that was when I took my chance. I got away from his grasp and started running. I didn't get far. He had hold of my wrist. As fast as I was trying to get away, my wrist smarted and my eyes began to water. I blinked and the tears vanished. I looked at him sternly.

"Let go of me Hao." All he did was pull me up close like he was going to kiss me or something. Ewww... His dark eyes were filled with a…a something that I couldn't tell. He spoke softly and said, "As soon as my future wife will give me a kiss!" His voice rose after future so the whole hall could hear. I felt my face go red.

Damn it Hao!

What? Too uncomfortable for you? Come on, just one little kiss and I will set you free…Like a little bird.

WTF! A little bird!

I looked into his face angrily and pushed with all my might. He started to fall over, and he took me with him.

Oh great. This is just peachy. Real peachy.

What is?

Oh no...

Great, now Yoh could get in my mind too. Lovely. TT; Great. Just great.

Go away.

Yes dear brother. You should not be in the mind of my future wife...

WHAT!

Uh no..groan

I looked at Hao evilly and got up. He just laid there, like he didn't have a care in the world. Every one was watching. I looked up and saw Horo watching me closely. His eyes held a sort of jealousy. Wait, Horo? Jealous of Hao! 0o; Ok, I knew it was time to get out of there. I ran off towards my next class and didn't look back.

Future wife?

Go away…Please.

Is that what you were hiding from….

"Me?" Yoh stood in front of me, waiting for me to sit down so we could work on our chemistry project. The teacher knew I didn't want to be with Yoh, but she put us together any how. I glared at him. "Perhaps. And, how is it you can get inside my head!" I watched him through my narrow eyes, thinking about how to plot revenge.

He shrugged. "I dunno. All of the sudden I heard you talking inside of my head and that was that."

0o; "What the freak?" I blushed slightly and looked down. Great. Just great. This was not good. 2 guys that could get inside my head and see my personal stuff. ;; Definitely not good. I looked down at our chemicals. "Let's get to work. And please don't make that awful smelling smoke bomb like before? I still can't get the smell out of my hair…"

After school was worse. Hao kept trying to hug me. Or kiss me. Or some dumb thing that he does. He tried to impress me by setting Horo's math book on fire. Sure, I was amused, but no way would I let it show. Horo went berserk.

"Hao, quit the fire and give him his math book back," my voice was all monotoney and stuffs. Not at all like me. They all stared at me and the book was back in Horo's possession. I sighed and walked faster than the rest to get to the house faster so I could lock myself in my bedroom before Hao could try kissing me again.

Go to hell Hao. I hate you and you…you…You suck.

(no response)

Hao? Hao? WTH! HAO!

(Memory flash back)

Hao as his former self. A young woman walks over and hugs him. They smile and kiss. The girl looks almost exactly the same as Verisa except her bangs aren't purple.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

I felt thrown backwards, like being pushed. Was I in Hao's mind, reading his memories, like he did to me? I veered off towards the ice cream parlor a few blocks away from the house. If I was gonna stay in my room most of the time, I was gonna need to get something to eat first.

As I sat at one of the tables, enjoying my cookies and cream, I watched out the window, thinking. Who was that girl that hugged Hao? How come she looked like me? Why? I had so many questions, yet, so little answers. It bugged me. I finished my ice cream, paid, and left.

Back at the house, Hao laid on the couch all evening except for supper. Odd. I was wary of him, expecting a non-existent sneak attack. I wonder if he was thinking about the girl. And, if he was, what was she to him? Alas, more questions. No answers. I sighed and started towards my room. Ren passed me to go to his room, brushed past me, and blushed. He hurried on. Horo was not far behind him. I was in my room closing the door when I saw him outside of Ren's room, knocking. 0o; I watched curiously. Horo looked down the opposite side of the hall. The door opened and Ren looked…Happy! Ok, things are seriously messed up. They looked down my way and saw me. Both turned a deep beat red and Ren slammed his door as Horo ran off to his own room. Strange.
