Te Artster: Do I really need to say the disclaimer? whines

Horo: Yes. Besides, I want to get on with the story. So, I'll say it.

Te Artster: YAY! hugs Horo around the neck

Horo: Art does not own Shaman King or any of the characters expect for Jason and Verisa. And Vixa. thinks And Eshumaru. thinks more And a crap load more charras! gets smacked

I continued to lie on my bed, not thinking. My door opened as a figure moved through it. I was thrown out of my trance as Horo reached my side. He looked at me, then the food. He sat down in the chair, watching me watch him.

Great. Now what?

He simply stared at me, not moving except to blink and breathe. It was starting to make me uncomfortable, so I flipped over so my back was to him. I really wasn't in a social mood. At least with boys. Evil.

"It's Hao. Hao has put you in this crappy mood," Horo's voice startled me. I turned my head to watch him. "I knew it. Ever since he dragged you back into your room this morning and he talked to you…" He sighed and looked at the floor. I shrugged and looked away from him. "Just, please. Leave me alone." He looked up. His mouth was slightly hanging open. I opened my eyes slightly and watched him. He blushed for a second then kissed me on the cheek. Now I was blushing. I sat up quickly in my bed.

"What the hell was that about!" I said, looking at him. His face was red too. He stammered, then turned around and ran out of my room. Odd thing was, I didn't want him to leave. I blinked, trying to understand why he did it. Nothing was going on in my brain. Nothing. I got up and threw on my cloak and headed towards the living room. I heard voices and such laughing and Ren yelling at Chocolve for making another bad joke. I sighed and continued walking. Nobody noticed me. Good. I walked out the door and headed out to the park. Surely this gloomy mood was from Hao and me this morning. shudders Evil.

I was feeling a bit better as I was walking around, the fresh air doing my brain some good. I was able to think again. My stomach apparently was awake because it suddenly gave this giant growl. I looked at it surprised and turned around to go to the ice cream place. I knew that ice cream wasn't the best thing, but, hey, I needed a lifter upper! As I entered the shop, a green haired guy was ordering. I took no notice as I sat down at my regular table, waiting for the waiter to come 'round. All of the sudden, Eshumaru appeared. Great, my spirit. Just when I didn't need her. I sighed and looked at her. "What?" She narrowed her eyes and nodded towards the green haired teen. It was Lysurg. I nearly fell off my chair. How the hell! I thought he was with the X-laws!

I watched him closely as he sat down to eat his own ice cream, completely unaware that I was there. I glared and watched him. Why was he here? Wait…0o;

No more questions. None. Not until…

Until what my dear?

groans Great. Hao was feeling better and was talking in my brain again.

Never you mind. Just, just go back to what you are doing. I have business and revenge to attend to.

(silence)

I got up and walked over to Lysurg's table and put my hands down on it. I smiled evilly at him. "Hello Lysurg." My voice was all weird and stuff…

He looked up at me curiously. "Hi.." was his reply. I grinned more evilly. "Don't you remember me?" He shook his head. I scoffed. "You should. You killed my parents." He looked shocked. "WHAT?" he hissed. He looked at me angrily then said, "Look, let's talk outside." He tried to grab my arm but missed. He shrugged and grabbed his ice cream as we left. We walked all the way to the park before he said anything.

"What do you mean, I killed your parents?" He said, sitting down on a bench after throwing away his empty ice cream bowl. I turned away from him and said fiercely, "That's right. Seven years ago to be exact." He looked confused, and odd. I just now noticed he was wearing a black t-shirt with a little blue symbol on the front, as well as baggy blue jeans. I blinked, waiting for his answer.

"Listen, you crazy woman. I don't know you. I never have. Nor do I plan on talking with you anymore." He got up and started walking off. Luckily enough, mah faithful horsie had gotten out of her paddock and had followed me here. She stopped Lysurg right in his tracks. It was then I went for his thoughts. His memories of Hao killing his parents, Yoh saving his life, him walking away from Yoh to join the X-laws….Nothing. I left his mind and shook my head. I whistled to Vixa, mah horse, and we commenced walking home. Lysurg watched us leave with his mouth open. When we were out of his sight, I jumped on Vixa's back.

You were suppost to stay in the paddock.

Yeah, well, I didn't did I?

smiles at Vixa's remark

Surely you can keep the furyuku eyes down a bit in shade? They were blazing purple, not normal for a horse…

Heh, yeah…Sorry.

Vixa pulled an ear back and tucked her head in a little and took off at a trot back to her paddock.

Besides, you were suppost to be at home.

She snorted a little and threw her pulled ear forward and moved faster. I held on fairly easy. I smiled. "Yeah, well..I can't be cooped up forever."

Well, neither can I.

She started off in a fast gallop as we rode home. I was thinking about what type of reaction I would receive when I went home.
