I paced about the floor while Aiko watched me in amusement.

"How could we forget Hao?"

I mumbled, running my hand through my dark brown hair. Aiko shrugged and began to paint her toenails with polish she'd borrowed from Pilika.

"I dunno."

I stared at her. Aiko was looking intently at her big toe, which was now bright purple.

"Are you paying any attention to me at all?"

Aiko look up and blinked.

"I'm sorry, what?"

I glared at her and Aiko winced. Aiko went back to her toenails.

"HAO! WHAT ABOUT HA—oh!"

I turned bright red as Yoh walked into my room. Aiko gulped nervously and stared very intently at her toenails, a little TOO intently.

"How do you know Hao?"

I laughed nervously as Yoh asked that. Yoh look at me suspiciously.

"He dropped by today."

Yoh looked angry. Not at me, but at the thought of Hao "dropping" by.

"He did?"

Aiko looked bored and looked at Yoh lazily. She was done her toenails and wanted to let them dry in peace.

"Yup."

Yoh looked at a loss for words. "I'll be right back, k?"

Yoh nodded and left. Aiko and I stared after him. Then I began to pace again.

"How in the poo could we forget HAO?" I yelled and Aiko put a finger to her lips. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Aiko, not now. This is serious! Who…are we going to set up with..HAO?"

I yelled throwing my hands in the air. Then I saw him. I turned around and was face with Hao once again.
