Chapter 5- A Unforgettable Prom Night part 1
Anna glared at the Ainu and Chinese boy. "This isn't over, you know." The boys glared back.
"You got that right." Horo muttered.
"Bring it on." Ren challenged. They all turned and left with one thought in their mind. Yoh will be mine.
Yoh yarned as the alarm clock woke him up. "Shut up..." He mumbled and pushed it away. He turned and went back to sleep, knowing that his mother would come in any minute in attempt to wake him up like she always does.
Just on time, Keiko poked her head into his room. "Yoh, honey wake up. You will be late for school." Yoh mumbled something and waved his hand at her, gesturing for her to leave him alone. Keiko frowned and sighed. Yoh again, turned over on his stomach to fall asleep, knowing that this time, Hao was going to come in and wake him.
Moments later, Hao walked in with a smirk on his face.
"How should I wake you up this time Otouto?" He asked shaking his head. He looked around to make sure Matamune was no where near Yoh because knowing Yoh; he'd start throwing any random item to shut him up. Matamune knew better and was curled up in a small ball, still sleeping in Hao's room. Hao smiled and walked over to his little brother's bed.
"Don't you ever get tired of this?" He asked, poking Yoh on the head. Yoh's nose wrinkled and he turned around, in attempt to sleep again. Hao sighed.
"I guess not..." He mumbled. Again, this was a daily routine. Poke Yoh on the head, ask him to wake up, try and drag him out of bed, go out, get the horn, blow it in Yoh's ear, Yoh throws things at him while attempting to go back to sleep and then Yoh finally wakes up. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Just as Hao thought, Yoh starting grabbing anything closest to him and flinging it at him. Wither it was out of range or not. He head of course was under the covers so who would blame him if he threw something off course? Hao memorized Yoh's throwing methods and patterns so all he had to do is simply tilt his head to a certain angel or direction and dodge the item being thrown at him with ease and without needing to run off. Finally, Yoh ran out of things to throw at him and ended up throwing his pillow at him. Hao sighed as he grabbed the pillow.
"Come on Otouto." He muttered. Yoh whimpered, now that his pillow was gone. He curled up in a ball the way Matamune does and once again attempted to sleep. Hao sighed and smacked the pillow on Yoh's head. "Come on. Wake up already."
"You're annoying..." Yoh whimpered. "Go away..."
"Fine." Hao sighed. "Just don't blame me when you are late to pick up Tam."
"Tamao?" Yoh asked, poking his head up from under the covers. Hao lifted a thin eyebrow and chuckled. How forgetful his brother was...
"Prom Yoh. Or did you forget?" He asked.
"Oh crap!" Yoh jumped out of bed and ran out of his room and ran to the bathroom. Matamune walked over to Yoh's bed where Hao was currently sitting. Hao chuckled as he stroked Matamune who meowed and purred.
"Yup... This is something new... Yoh is actually waking up a half hour early." Hao muttered with a smirk on his face.
Note- Hao has set the alarm clock a half hour earlier due to Yoh's laziness.
Oh so many hours later... Actually just a few hours before the prom...
"Why do you get that one?" Yoh whined.
"Because I am older." Hao simply told him as he hoped into a sleek new red convertible.
"But what am I stuck with?" Yoh asked. Hao shrugged.
"Beats me. Ask Otou San. He has a whole bunch in the private garage." He told him, turning the car on.
"But you know how he is about those cars. They are brand new!" Yoh whined. Hao rolled his eyes.
"Please. Do what I use to do." He told him. "Make the puppy eyes and don't give up until he gives it to you."
"Does that really work?" Yoh asked. Hao smiled.
"How do you think I got him to buy me this new convertible for my birthday?" He asked with a smirk. Yoh's mouth hung.
"You got this for your birthday!" He yelled. Hao's smirk widened.
"Anyway, I gotta go pick up Mari. See you later Otouto." Hao told him and pressed on the gas petal. Yoh sighed as he watched the car speed off. He turned and walked back into the house.
Mikihisa looked up from his paper work as Yoh walked in.
"Yoh? Why are you still here? I thought you were off to pick up Tamao." Keiko asked as she looked up from her book. Yoh smiled weakly and scratched the back of his head.
"Well... Hao kinda took the convertible..." He told his father.
"Then take the Honda." Mikihisa suggested. Yoh bit his lower lip and showed him the puppy eyes.
"No Yoh." Mikihisa said shaking his head. Yoh didn't give up.
"Please Tou-San?" He asked, his lower lip quivering and his eyes got huge and big. Keiko laughed.
"Oh Yoh." She said with a smile. "You may take the new convertible in the private garage." Yoh grinned.
"Sank-You Kaa-San!" He yelled, throwing his arms around her. Keiko laughed and hugged him back.
"Now go on before your suit gets wrinkled and before you are late." She told him. Yoh nodded and rushed off. Minutes later, he poked his head back inside the room.
"Where are the keys?" He asked.
"In my room dear." Keiko told him. Yoh nodded and rushed off. Mikihisa sighed.
"Yoh must have gotten that tip from Hao..." He mumbled. Keiko giggled.
"You never could resist it." She told him and continued reading her book.
It took Yoh a while to find the key and when he did, it was connected to a whole bunch of other ones. Yoh groaned as he grabbed them all and rushed down to the car. He looked around to see which car would look best. He finally settled for the black one since he didn't have much time. It was similar to Hao's except knowing Hao; he probably added some turbo speed or something to his car and customized it as well. Yoh hopped in and looked at all the keys in his hand. He tried a few but no luck. He sighed as he tried and some more keys.
"Which one of these is the key for this thing!" He yelled in frustration. He sighed and decided to try the last key and it started up.
"Yatta!" Yoh yelled, throwing his arms in the air. The then paused. "Wait... How did I know it was the last key...?" Yoh sighed. Never mind that. He was later and he had to get going. He paused yet again.
"Oh come on!" He whined when he noticed that the rings of keys were still in his hands. Keiko laughed and walked over to him.
"I'll take those for you." She said with a motherly smile. "It's your senior prom. It should be a night you will never forget. Now hurry up and go!"
"Thanks Kaa-San!" Yoh yelled.
"Oh and here." Keiko handed Yoh a whole pack of bills. Yoh's mouth fell.
"It's your early birthday present." Keiko told him. "Hao has the same amount. Now go!" Yoh blinked and smiled. He placed the money in his coat pocket.
"San-You!" He yelled again and stepped on the gas petal.
Tamao sighed. Yoh had probably forgotten about her... She stood in front of her mirror to examine herself once more. Her small pigtails were neat and well combed. Her light pink dress was wrinkled free and her heels... Well they were killing her right now. She bent over to take them off.
"Maybe I should change..." She mumbled and walked over to the closet to pick out another pair of heels that wouldn't hurt her feet that much but will also match her dress. She sighed as she just picked out any random heel since it al matches her dress and slipped them on. She looked in front of the mirror once again and smiled.
"Perfect." She said. There was a knock on the door. "Yes?"
"Tam, Yoh's here to pick you up." Tamao's mother said with a smile. Tamao turned pink.
"O-Ok." She said in a panicking voice. "I-I, I-I'll be there in a second!" Tamao's mother laughed and left the room.
Moments later, Tamao walked down the stairs to find Yoh talking to her father. Yoh smiled and looked up when he heard Tamao come down. Tamao blushed as she walked over to them.
"You look nice Tam." Yoh said with a smile.
"T-Thanks..." She said quietly.
"No Tam. I want you home by 9 o'clock sharp." Tamao's father told her.
"Dad!" Tamao whined and Yoh laughed.
"Don't worry Mr. Tamamura." He told him. "Nothing is going to happen to Tamao." Mr.Tamamura smiled.
"Well off you go then." He said hurrying them out. "You shouldn't be late to your senior prom! It's your big night!"
"Kay..." Yoh said grinning as he walked out. He then stopped and turned around. "But does she have to come back at 9 sharp?" He asked smiled. Mr. Tamamura laughed.
"No, but make sure she returned safe and sound." He told him. Yoh nodded.
"Will do!" He said as he walked Tamao to the car. He opened the car door for Tamao and then walked around the car, hopped in and drove off to their school.
"Tamao! Oh my god! You see! I told you, you'd look perfect in this dress!" Pirika squealed. She was wearing a pale blue dress that really matched her eyes and hair. Her hair was tied up in one long ponytail and for the first time, Tamao noticed that Pirika had bangs. Jeanne smiled.
"Yes, yes. You do look very nice." She told her. Jeanne was wearing a slim silverish white dress that hung at her hips. Her hair was tied up neatly by a ribbon and her bangs were clipped to the side. She actually looked like a real goddess with the glitter on her skin.
"You both do as well." Tamao said smiling.
"You look better." Pirika argued. "And you have your hair in short pig tails!" Tamao giggled.
"Hey, don't take my date away once we get in here." Yoh said with a grin.
"Hey Yoh." Pirika said smiling.
"Hi Yoh." Jeanne said sweetly.
"Hi Jeanne, Pirika." Yoh smiled and looked around. "Have you seen Aniki anywhere?"
"Ummm, I think he is with Mari somewhere." Pirika told him.
"What about Ren, Anna and Horo?" Yoh asked nervously.
"I haven't seen them. Yoh?" Jeanne looked at the others who shook their heads.
"Onii-Chan wasn't home when I left. I thought he had already left for prom." Pirika told them. Just then, Macchi walked over.
"Hey guyz!" She yelled with a hyper grin. Her sleek black dress really shaped her hips and her hair was surprisingly down this time and hung around her shoulder. "What's up?"
"Hey, you look nice. Who you trying to impress?" Pirika asked teasingly.
"No one." Macchi said with a shrug. "If I am to go out this year, I want to go out in style and have everyone remember me!" Jeanne giggled.
"Anyway, have you seen Ren, Anna and Onii-Chan?" Pirika asked. Macchi shook her head.
"Nope. Sorry." She told her. Pirika sighed.
"I don't think they are coming." She said quietly.
"Not coming!" Macchi yelled. "This is their senior year! They've got to come! What idiot won't go to senior prom? Even if you don't have a date! It's your senior year!" Yoh laughed nervously.
"Well have you see Aniki?" He asked.
"Yah... Somewhere around here..." Macchi said looking around. "Oh there they are... MARI!" She yelled, waving her arms in the air. Mari turned her head and walked over to them with Hao behind her.
"Wow Mari, you look nice!" Pirika gasped. Mari's dress was long and black. Her hair was down this time and slit apart in the middle. At the bottom of each side, there was a black ribbon that tied it together.
"Yah. Wish you had her hair didn't you Jeanne?" Hao asked with a smirk as he wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Mari's face turned pink and Jeanne giggled.
"I like my hair just fine thank you." She told her. "But you do look nice Mari." Mari smiled.
"Mari thinks you do too." She said quietly.
They all talked for a while and then they decided to go dancing.
"So... You wanna dance?" Yoh asked. Tamao blushed but nodded. The night was going pretty well until Yoh spotted Anna glaring at him from the door. Anna had on a long and tight black dress and her hair was up in a small pony tail. Her face expression was definitely not a happy one.
"Not good..." He mumbled. Tamao looked up and froze when she saw Anna.
"Uh... uh... uh... What do we do?" She asked in a panicking voice.
"We say hi?" Yoh asked. "She already saw us anyway." He walked over to Anna with a smile. "Hey Anna. I didn't know you would come." Anna glared at him.
"What is she doing here?" She asked icily. "Better get, why is she with you?"
"Because... She's my date?" Yoh said with a weak smile. Anna's glare deepened.
"She's your what?" She asked.
"Look Anna. We are not engaged anymore ok. Just deal with it. You can't run my life anymore." Yoh said with a sigh.
"Excuse me?" Anna asked in an angry tone.
"You heard him." They turned to see Hao standing there. "Hello Ex-Sister-in-law." Anna glared at him.
"This isn't over Yoh." She muttered and walked away. Yoh sighed.
"Thanks Aniki." He mumbled. Hao smirked.
"No problem. I always loved pissing her off." He told him. "Oh yah... I've seen Ren and Horo a while back... They didn't look too happy when they saw you dancing with Tam." Yoh froze.
"What am I going to do?" He whined. Hao shrugged.
"I think I'll leave that part to you." He told Yoh with a pat on the back. Yoh cried waterfalls of tears, Anime style.
"Aniki... Taskete!" He whined. Hao sighed.
"How can I help you? There isn't anything we can do about it." He told Yoh. "And if I help you, it's going to cost you." Yoh's mouth dropped.
"Aniki!" He yelled. Hao chuckled.
"Look just ignore them." Hao told him. "That's all I can tell you."
"Easy for you to say. You are not the one who they have a crush on!" Hao chuckled. "How did you get over you forced to marry fiancé anyway?" Hao shrugged.
"I told her to back of and if she didn't like me going out with Mari, well then tough." He told him. Yoh frowned.
"But that's mean!" He whined.
"Well it worked." Hao said with a shrug. "She didn't bother me anymore. Even broke off the arrangements too. But unlike Anna, she didn't come back to claim me again... Not that she had claimed me in the first place." Yoh sighed. What was he going to do?
Anna walked around the school hall muttering curses under her breath.
"How dare he..." She muttered angrily. "After all we have been through. He dumps me and goes for that low class wanna be. He deserves better... He deserves me. He is just denying the fact." She turned the corner and stopped midway to come face to face with Tao Ren.
"Ren..." She muttered with a glare.
"Anna..." Ren muttered with the exact glare and angry tone.
"Move out of my way." Anna ordered.
"And why should I?" Ren asked.
"Because I said so."
"First of all, I am not Yoh and second of all, I don't take orders from anyone. Especially not from, a bitch like you." Anna glare deepened, but she just turned and walked off. Ren watched her closely before turning and walking the other way.
"She is up to something." He thought to himself.
Anna furiously walked down the halls. "How dare he." She muttered angrily. "He will pay dearly. They all will." She walked over and smashed the... What do you call those this with the ax inside it? You know there is a glass over the box and it is hanging form the wall or something. It's for emergencies... Whatever... Just know that she smashed that thing and took the ax out from there. She walked down the hall in search of Ren, Horo, Yoh and Tamao.
"I'll be back in a few minutes ok Tam?" Yoh said with a smile. Tamao nodded and smiled.
"Ok." She said quietly and Yoh walked off.
"Where are they?" Yoh mumbled as he walked around the school in search of his... err friends. He walked here and there, checking in different rooms and then froze when he noticed that that... emergency box thingy- the one that Anna smashed- was broken and the ax wasn't inside. Yoh gulped and started to panic. He gotta find Ren, Horo and Tamao quick before it's too late!
Ren walked slowly and cautiously down the hall, knowing that Anna was close by. He slowed down when he heard light... very light footsteps down the hall. He smirked. How dare she challenge the great Tao Ren? Just as Anna brought her ax down, Ren quickly turned and blocked the attack with his Quan Dao.
"You might need some work on your attack." He said with a smirk as he pushed Anna off him. Anna growled.
"How dare you." She muttered angrily.
"How dare you!" Ren yelled back. Anna growled and brought her ax down again. Ren, who was use to this, countered.
"Yoh doesn't belong to you. He is mine!" Anna yelled.
"You are wrong. He was never yours in the first place. He never liked you!" Ren yelled back.
"Like he liked you?" Anna asked.
"Shut up!" Ren yelled and pushed her away. "He likes me 10 times more then he likes you. He hates you."
"You are wrong. I am his fiancé! Why would he hate me if I am his fiancé!" Anna yelled, attacking him once again.
"You were Anna. You were." Ren corrected her as he jumped out of the way. "And he was forced to marry you!"
The arguing continued for a while and so did the slashing. Anna, having the shorter weapon, got cut in the arm. Horo walked by and noticed them fighting. He decided to slip away since he wanted to live but no such luck came to him.
"Hold it right there Baka Ainu!" Ren yelled. "Don't' think you are not a part of this because you are!"
"What did I do!" Horo yelled, backing away.
"YOU KISSED MY YOH!" Ren yelled. Anna's eyes widened.
"HE IS NOT YOUR YOG. HE IS MINE!" Anna yelled.
"YOU ARE BOTH WRONG! HE'S MINE!" Horo yelled. Anna got mad again and attacked. Horo, being defenseless ran off to wind something to defend himself while the other two both chase him and battle each other out at the same time. Horo rushed into the science lab and slammed the door shut. He gasped for air and looked around, panicking. He spotted a pair of scissors and grabbed it. It was pretty sharp but it couldn't save it. But still, he held onto it. He opened the door carefully and looked around. Ren and Anna were no where in sight. He sighed and slipped out. He headed to the nurse's room to see if he could find any bandages for his arm. He looked around but found barely anything. He growled.
"Nurse Eliza must have everything locked into a locker or something." He mumbled. He crept over to her desk and forced the door to open... It took some time but he finally got it opened... But what he found inside was not bandages but something even better. He smirked evilly as he took it out.
"Oh yah... Game time baby." He said as he examined it. "Level 2... This is where the training wheels come off, and the killing comes in." He said chuckling as he walked out.
I got that Level 2 line from the dub version of Shaman King. Anywayz... Muhahaha, Horo has a new weapon! Try to guess it. Just try to lol. I think you will probably get it right. Anywayz... I feel like no one is reading this! Oh wellz... This is almost done anyway... I plan to have the next chapter be the last... Muhahaha, Tamao will get attacked as well and I plan to make Yoh get stabbed somehow... Lol... Just you wait! God I'm evil...
half vamp: Buhaha the murder game is coming soon!
pendulum-swing: Muhahaha, Die Anna! Yah... I kinda did OD Anna in this fanfic...
Aoi Umenokouji: Haha, I took your scissors idea but I don't know if he is going to use it or not... Still deciding... Haha, I'm planning to make a story dedicated to you about Horo getting hit in the head by a frying pan lol. I just love that idea... Maybe you might even be added in the story yourself!
