A/N: Aah! Thanks for the reviews! floats Keep them flowing XD
Well, the thing between Horo Horo and Ren will turn out fine (that is if you have a sadomasochistic sort of view) and…well, Yoh's going to help a lot.

Warn: If you aren't a big Ren/Yoh fan…advice would be not to continue reading this or you'll hate him forever. If you read, please don't kill me! XD


Yet the temptation seemed so sweet

"Don't think I don't know what's going on," Anna raised her voice.

She looked at him harshly, but without any trace of anger.

"What do you mean?" he asked cautiously.

"You know very well. You and Yoh," Anna answered, bored.

His breathing was cut short. He lowered his head, trying to hide the blushing.

"Since when have you known?" he coughed up the question, knowing that it was better to desist: Anna wasn't naïve.

"Since that time, when you came back from China," she took the remote control and turned on the tv, "All I'm saying is this: don't get too close or you'll come out hurt, and I don't just mean physically."

… … …

Ren blinked, firing his golden eyes lazily.

Was that a dream?… No, just a memory, he told himself.

He could remember that and all the others. The blood undoubtedly boiled with jealousy once more. How could Yoh prefer Anna? How does she do it to attract him?

His very alarming thoughts disappeared suddenly by feeling a hand slowly tracing his chest. It was warm and somewhat sticky, but it felt really good, calming and reassuring.

"What do you think you're doing?" said Ren, in spite of how good it felt.

Horo Horo cuddled more towards him, lowering his hand more each time.

"Oooh, almost nothing," he was drawing tiny circles on Ren's abdomen, up and down.

Every time he turned his hand, Ren would let escape soft sighs of pleasure. It took time to reply.

"And that thing moving near my shorts…" Ren kissed him, taking Horo Horo by surprise. Both of them started giggling between the kisses until Ren couldn't take it anymore. So he sat on the blue haired boy's belly, facing him, and supporting his back against the boy's arched thighs, trying to catch his breath.

Grasping the chance, Ren contemplated him for a moment. His hair, one of the most unique light blue, was delicately sprawled on the pillow, his lips still glossy and wet by their last kiss, and…Ah! Those eyes! It was like getting lost in the infinite sky of a temperate spring. It was quite bothersome to Ren, not understanding how he emanated so much heat when his element was ice.

"What's on your mind right now?" Horo Horo gave him a slight push with one of his thighs. No longer able to analyze by being interrupted, irritation kicked in.

"Well, what do you think? I'm brooding over you and you're distracting me, you fool."

Horo Horo turned into a deep red. He was thinking about me. Horo Horo bit his lower lip repeatedly. Ren, noticing his edginess, smiled inside, although he changed the subject.

"What are your plans today?"

From dark red to intense violet. Why does it cost me so much to breath correctly? Horo Horo's plan consisted of going swimming near a truly beautiful waterfall in the woods and spending the rest of their day, lying in his arms.

"What are you doing?" he asked before speaking his mind.

The smile vanished from inside of Ren.

Well...how do I put this?

He had planned almost exactly the same…with a few differences.

Instead of the waterfall, he had the hot springs in mind; and spending the day hugging Horo Horo was certainly off his list today since he had someone else in to embrace in mind. While he meditated on what to say, he kept staring at Horo Horo.

And he knew instantly that whatever he was about to tell him would be a lie.

"Other plans I'm guessing?" he asked to avoid it.

"Uh…" Better if I tell the truth then, "Yes, a lot of things to get done. You don't mind, do you?"

"Gah! What do you think! Of course not!" Horo Horo chuckled.

However, if someone requested a repetition of what he just said and listened between the lines, it'd be easy to say that it was false. His chest ached so bad, as if someone had nailed an extremely thin needle and was afraid to pull it out. Betrayal.

The memory of the priestess slowly vanished like a hurricane when Ren suddenly found himself glaring harshly at the main entrance doors of the Asakura household, hoping that it'd open by itself. Realizing how bizarre and stupid he must be looking, he hurried inside.

The house seemed deserted. Ren took the shortcut guiding to the backyard of the huge garden, avoiding the reception room. Without any doubt, just by judging the harmony that ruled, Anna had already gone. He wasn't sure of the why or were, but the thing was that…she had gone. He stopped all of a sudden, the thought turning into a hurricane again, as he took in what he was doing…or what he shouldn't be doing.

Yoh, relaxed and half asleep, was sitting inside the hot spring. He had his arms extended, resting at both sides, his head thrown back and his chestnut hair hanging on the air, shimmering with sweat.

Ren reddened instantly; the idea of seeing him naked (he was extremely sure, given that he always went in exposed) again would be very much unnerving. The brown eyes opened up seconds later, fastening themselves on Ren's. He grinned.

"Are you feeling better, Ren?" Yoh said, still smiling.

"Yea, I'm fine," Ren could not dare take his eyes off him.

"Good," Yoh lowered his gaze. Ren, desperate for losing eye contact, unwillingly took a step forward.

"Why don't you step in?" Yoh looked up at him again, the same old smile dancing on his fine lips. Ren's eye slowly widened. He was starting to tremble.
