Chapter 6

The Tao family as everyone knows is very rich but now they're family wealth is… let's say increasing due to the hard efforts the children are doing to make their family known not only in China but also to he whole world. After the Shaman Fight Jun took action in changing the name of their family in the sense that now they are exporting and importing with other major companies and making history almost forget about the deep dark secrets kept by the name Tao.

"Ren there's a party that I'm going to attend to. Want to come?" Jun said while picking out a dress.

"It's just a business thing… I hate those."

"You can bring Yoh and the rest… so at least Anna could advertise her onsen."

"I'm sure she's interested but don't expect me to have fun there."

Ren then went to his own room after he called the Funbari onsen. Anna seemed to like the idea while Yoh and Horo were thinking about coming just because of the food and Anna.

--------

So Jun, Pai Long, Ren, Anna, Yoh and Horo dressed their best and all came to the party riding the luxurious cars of the Tao family.

Once they were there Horo was too busy eating, Yoh on the other hand didn't had the chance to leave Anna's side. Anna was very confident to talk with the heads of these major companies that they seem to be getting interested to visit the small onsen. Jun was also busy talking with the well-dressed men and women in high society… leaving Ren… bored.

--------

As soon as Ren can't take it anymore he left again… without any word… like he always do.

-------------------

Meanwhile on the other part f the room the Hondas is also there. This was the chance for them to introduce Pirika to the new world she is in. Everyone was just thrilled to meet her for she is the heir to the family business… she's like a princess just waiting for her coronation as queen… of course there are still those people who can't help to whisper gossip about her.

No one knew her before… they don't even know if the Hondas really had a child… it was as if she came from nowhere. But still no one could deny how beautiful Pirika was that night, everyone who met her praised and was just amazed by her beauty and when they heard her speak they were also blown away by her elegance and brilliance.

But still her heart longs for something… something more queer… more exciting than this… more wonderful… more adventurous… something… something… not boring.

"Mother. Can I leave now?" Pirika asked respectfully.

"Why dear are you tired?" her father asked.

"No… I just want to go home. I'm not tired but… it's so boring here… sorry for the term but that's what I feel." She whispered.

Her mother then smiled and leaned forward to her ear.

"I know… I'm bored too. Okay you may go now. If you want you could go to a restaurant and eat but be careful."

Pirika then smiled widely and nod…

But before she left her feet took her somewhere else…

Her feet lead her to a large balcony in the same hotel…

As soon as she stepped outside and smelled the fresh air she noticed a man standing in one corner and just staring blankly at the star-filled sky. The moon was touching his face delicately, illuminating the handsome figure trying to hide in the shadows of the night. At once Pirika blushed, recognizing him…

"You're that…" she started but was cut off when the boy looked at her.

His eyes dazzling as ever, making Pirika almost tremble with his gaze

"I am…" Ren said almost surprised himself, "I'm sorry to what I did to your classmate… I know I hurt him a lot but it was still his fault in the first place." He tried to explain.

"No… that's alright. In fact I would like to thank you again… for saving me. By the way my name is Pirika Honda but you can call me Pirika."

"I know…" Ren said his eyes rolling.

"What?"

"What I meant is… I already know you… my name is Tao Ren…feel free to call me Ren… just Ren."

Pirika then extended her hand expecting a handshake but Ren held it lightly, bent down and kissed it delicately… with all chivalry.

"My knight…" Pirika can't help but mutter. She can feel her face and her whole body turning red.

Ren slowly let go and stood straight… going back to his snobbish state, while blushing a bit.

'I know I shouldn't have done that… Bason you're ideas are really stupid.' Ren thought as he was trying to hide his redden face.

"You're a Tao… then our families know each other." Pirika said breaking the silence.

"Yeah." Ren answered without even looking.

Pirika then walked towards the edge and watched the stars too. Her eyes sparkling as the stars twinkled. Ren can't help to fall in her trance making him gaze even more. This close distance between them was making his heart jump and skips a beat… a sensation that only this girl can bring to him.

"So why are you here?" Pirika asked, bring life to the night.

"Um… I was bored." Ren answered being embarrassed by his stupid answer.

But Pirika just giggled. She then turned to Ren who was looking at the ground.

"What a coincidence… I'm bored too." Pirika said laughingly.

"Who could not get bored inside when all they talk bout is business and never ending business…" Ren said with a bit of irritation.

"Yeah and if they're not talking about that its politics and the weather… if they love the weather that much why can't they just look at the sky all day." Pirika agreed.

"This type of lifestyle is really for those who are industrious."

"And those who can stand smiling all day long. I bet some of those people inside barely like talking to everyone… and yet those smiles are like pasted… no… glued on their faces." Pirika said and with that she started to laugh.

"She always has that weird sense of humor that I can't understand." Ren uttered as those memories of Pirika laughing at Chocolove's jokes coming back to him.

"Hey… do you know how to dance?" Pirika suddenly asked.

"Dance?" Ren can barely utter the word. He's a skillful warrior but not a good dancer… no one, not even her sister has invited him to dance.

Without another word from Ren Pirika suddenly took Ren's hand as the two spun around…

"That's not dancing!" Ren shouted at once. Pirika halted and shut up.

"Sorry." she muttered, she was about to say another thing when she felt that Ren's arm is already around her waist.

Pirika smiled and put her hands above Ren's shoulders.

And as fate would have it the music inside the room started to go very romantic, with the string instruments playing.

The two then just started to dance slowly. Ren's eyes were just on Pirika the whole time as Pirika was still in awe staring at Ren.

'Not doubt that Ren Tao is really handsome… but why would she want someone like me? I mean the girls inside are more beautiful than I and richer too... why?' Pirika can't help but ask herself.

'Pirika can't you see? If I only have the guts to tell you what I feel then I'll do it… but I don't… the only thing I can do now is show you… make you feel what my heart is longing to say… love can really make me stupid…but this is the only feeling that I like experiencing the most.' Ren thought.

Then all of a sudden Pirika started to lean on Ren, being comfortable by just being with him. Ren without even thinking held Pirika tighter, enveloping her in his arms thinking that he'll never let go of her forever… forever.

'It's as if… as if I already knew him before…but where… when?' Pirika's thoughts were only of Ren as for now…

Suddenly though…

"Hey!" Horohoro shouted his eyes widened in surprise.

The two instantly let go realizing that the music was also over.

Horohoro knew that Ren was here but he didn't expect to see Pirika, though he was happy that he did.

"Why are you here? You're that sidewalk vendor?" Pirika asked, recognizing Horohoro.

"What sidewalk vendor?" Ren asked, thoroughly confused. Horohoro then walked nearer Ren.

"Ren Tao is one of my buddies… so he invited me here. Hey I see you're wearing that headband you bought." Horo noticed smiling at the girl.

Pirika blushed again as she touches the headband lightly and smiled. Upon seeing that Ren felt a weird feeling inside of him… it's not really anger… it was somehow… something like… jealousy?

'But why should I be jealous… she's his sister… their siblings… like me and Jun.' Ren thought thinking that he might be going nuts right now.

"Hey I know you two are bored… want me to take you to a real party?" Horo asked, raising a brow.

Ren looked at Piri and so is Pirika at Ren.

"Why not?" Pirika suddenly shouted happily.

"Any place is better than this." Ren said, good alibi to get out of that place and to be with Pirika just in case Horohoro drinks too much and let the cat out of the bag.

"Yoh and Manta are already there. And I think the whole gang is there." Horohoro said as they walk towards the elevator.

"The whole gang?" Pirika asked.

"Don't worry they're nice." Horohoro assured.

"They won't bite unless they're not hungry." Ren said smirking.

"Stop saying that you stupid Chinese!" Horohoro shouted as Pirika pushed the buttons in the elevator.

"Don't worry Pirika… they won't hurt you as long as I'm here. I'll protect you." Horo proclaimed cockily.

Pirika then blushed and smiled coyly.

"Thanks…" she muttered making Ren feel that thing again.

'You stupid Ainu! Can't you see… that attitude of yours is making her have a crush on you!' Ren thought as he looking ferociously at Horohoro who just kept on laughing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's no reason for Ren to get jealous… but Horohoro doesn't know what he's doing to Pirika… while our little heroine is getting more confused… if she just know that the blue-haired boy is her brother then all will be clear… the only problem is she doesn't know that!

What will happen now? Where will Horo take these two?

Find out… in the next chapter… so watch out!
