Chapter 2: Blissfully Unaware

The sun shines down on a peaceful, quiet house that resides in Tokyo, Japan. The cool spring breeze blows as a group of friends enjoy each other's company.

"HAO, YOU IDIOT! YOU CHEATED!"

Maybe quiet wasn't the word.

"Hey! What I did wasn't cheating. It was strategic strategizing" explained Hao.

"Hao, you don't need to strategize in Go Fish" Yoh said to his mirror image.

Hao stared blankly at his twin.

"Shut up" he said finally.

"Yoh, do you have any 3's?" Ren asked.

"You just asked me that last turn" Yoh said.

"I'm just making sure that you have one" Ren explained to the slow shaman.

Yoh looked Ren as if he knew his plan.

"Whatever you say………here you go!" he said as he gave the spiked one his three.

"Heh heh" Ren snickered.

"Hao do you have any--" Yoh was interrupted by Hao's eyes checking his cards.

"Hao, how can you NOT say that's cheating?" Horo asked Hao.

"Admit it you loser. Your cheating at the easiest game in the world" Ren laughed.

"To hell with this pathetic display!" Hao gave up. How dare these idiots accuse him of cheating?

Hao threw his cards down and stomped inside. He got some tea and sat down.

"I wonder if my show is on" he said while turning on the TV and chowing down on some Orange Snakums.

"And we're here live in front of the most popular snack in Japan factory: Orange Snakums Inc.!" a reporter stated.

"So how does it feel to make such a popular food item?" the reporter asked an employee.

"They're killing us! It's horrible! They make us fall into a false state of security and then they push us into the machine!! Don't you understand that all us elves are gonna die?" they little elf screamed. You can see the terror in the little guy's eyes.

"Ha! What an energetic little kid!" the reporter laughed.

The "little kid" ran up to the camera.

"Your really eating--"

Hao changed the channel and took a bite out of his snack.

"How do they make these so good?" he asked himself.

"All My Adolescent Human Beings are back" said the TV.

"YAY!" Hao exclaimed.

"Shannon are you alright?"

"Jasper? Is that you?"

"Yes. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Thanks to you"

Shannon gets up and starts to walk

"So how are things?"

"Good"

"That's good. SHANNON LOOK OUT!"

Shannon falls but Jasper catches her

"……………………………Are you alright?"

"yes………………………………"

"Man, why can't things be so easy like that for me?" Hao grumbled to himself.

He got up to see if his idiot brother and company were still playing cards outside.

When he slid the door open, he saw nothing but cards all over the outside deck.

Hao gave a second glance at the floor. "Geez, what slobs. If Anna saw this, she would kill them"

As he turned around, he heard a loud thump.

"OW!!!"

Hao didn't really care what happened. But because he was bored, he decided to casually walk to where someone fell.

"What idiot fell this time?" he said outloud.

When he turned the corner, he saw Anna on the floor rubbing her head.

"Ha! Did I say idiot? I meant lovely lady! Ha ha ha ha" he covered up.

Hao's POV

I hope she didn't here me call her an idiot. She doesn't like it when people call her names. Especially me. Nothing big or anything. Just the occasional "hottie" or "sexy" or "fox" or one of my favorites, "beautiful tyrant". I walked over to her to see if she was alright.

"Anna are you alright?" I asked her.

She squinted her eyes at me. "Hao? Is that you?" She must have hit her head or something.

"Yea. How are you?"

"I'm fine now. Thanks" I helped her up. She had a bump on her head. It was pretty funny. She glared at me when I laughed.

She walked towards the deck. Oh no. She's going to see the mess and blame it on me! Crapshitdammittohellfuck. ((A/N: SORRY FOR THE CURSING! IT JUST FIT HAO'S CHARACTER! DON'T FLAME ME!))

Damn those idiots. They set this up because I was kicking their butts! They want me to get in trouble! Well its not going to …………. Oh crap she's walking towards the door.

I had to stall her.

"Sooooo…how are things?" I ask her.

"Good" she said blankly.

She slid the door open.

"That's good……….ANNA WATCH OUT!", I tried to warn her but nooooo.

She slipped on some cards that my stupid brother left on the floor. And me being the perfect gentleman and all, I just couldn't let a pretty girl fall down can I? Soooooo I wrapped my arms around her waist. Heh heh heh heh I was enjoying this. =)

"……………………are you alright?" I asked her.

"……………..yes" she answered.

Whoa. Déjà vu. Didn't I see something like this happen before? Boy, when I let go of her, she's going to slap me.

Anna's POV

When he lets go of me, I'm going to smack him. What's the big idea? I bet he set this up! When I get out of his arms…………….wait how come I can't get out?

I couldn't move or was it that I didn't want to?

I mentally kicked myself in the head for flushing at the thought.

I could feel my face heat up. What was wrong with me? How dare he do this! GRRRRRR. I hope he chokes on an elephant!

Hao's Pov

She was closing her eyes and shaking her head. I could see her face getting red.

Man was I good! Time to make things interesting.

I pulled her closer and lifted her face so she can see me. She's looked so hot.

………………………………................................................................

This wasn't going to last long. More over, this wasn't going to end pretty.

Anna's POV

What. Was. He. Doing. Now I REALLY hope he chokes on an elephant.

Hao's POV

Oh boy. She was getting mad again. Geez. Why does she get so hot tempered? It's obvious that I like her, right? Hmmmmmm……….

I move my face closer to hers.

Yep. Now here comes the fun part.

WHACK!!!!!!!!

Anna's POV

I slapped him.

Hao's POV

She slapped me. Who couldn't have seen that coming?

"Well that was fun while it lasted" I said while rubbing my now red and puffy cheek.

I could feel that ice cold glare of hers glaring at me.

"You pervert. You set that up"

"I wish" I grumbled to myself.

"What was that?" she asked arching an eyebrow.

"uh………nothing" I got to admit, she slaps pretty hard. Like that last time when I said she was worthy being the Shaman King's wife. Man, after that punch, I was crying like hell! Opacho and The Hanagumi were starting to second think their loyalty to me.

She rolled her eyes and helped me up. Wow! How nice of her! She may not know it, but I know she likes me and she knows it too. Heh. Who wouldn't? winks at fan girls

"You got quite an arm. Ever consider baseball?" I asked. Hopefully she won't hit me again. I really don't want to get hit again.

"Ever consider choking on an elephant?" she asked as she was walking to the hall.

"No. Not really. Why?"

"Ugh. Your just as stupid as your brother" she looked back at me.

I sat up and just stared at her. I guess that smack got to my head. Because I was laughing. Not manically. Just enough to worry someone into thinking I was crazy.

She turned around.

"Did that smack get to your head?"

"No….HAHAHAHAHA………nothing……….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" I laughed and wiped a tear. I think I scare her.

"Whatever. As long as your not laughing at me" then she left.

No Anna dear, not at you. I am just laughing because you are so blissfully unaware of my feelings for you.
