Ok, so here's chapter5. Sorry it took so long, I have no excuse. So please read, enjoy, and let me know what you think.
Plans
Ren paused in the process of packing his bag when he heard a knock at the door.
"What is it?" he snapped, not really being in the mood for visitors.
"It's just me," Horo said entering the room. "I just wanted to talk about earlier."
"I have already made my position perfectly clear," Ren sneered.
"But…" Horo started to say.
"Enough talking," Snarled Ren. "Leave. Now."
Horo glared at Ren as he exited the room. He returned to the living room where the others were gathered waiting for him. They looked up as he entered the room.
"So, how'd it go?" queried Manta
"Ren's still being stubborn. But he's upset about the situation; he acted like a real git to me. All snappy and nasty." Horo replied, shaking his head in exasperation.
"Fair enough. But doesn't he always snap at you?" Manta said looking slightly confused.
"Yeah but that's not the point," Said Horo going red. "Anyway how'd it go with Yoh?"
Manta sighed before answering "He was asleep, he looked so sad though. I've never seen him look like that."
"As it looks like they're not going to help themselves, it's up to us to help them!" Horo started pacing as he was talking "Right, Tamao, can you distract Anna for a while? Manta, go and wake up Yoh, take him into the garden. I'll get Ren out there. Then it's time for my plan to take action."
Each went to there specified tasks. Tamao decided to take Anna to the movies, to take her mind off what had happened. Manta knocked on Yoh's door, but received no answer. So he slipped in and saw that Yoh was still asleep.
"Yoh, wake up," Manta said shaking Yoh in an effort to rouse the young man on the bed. The only reaction he got was a groan and Yoh curling up into a ball. Manta sighed and quickly made his way to the bathroom. He filled a glass with water and carefully brought it back into Yoh's room.
"I'm sorry about this Yoh," he said as he stood over his friend "But if you won't wake up then I'm afraid that I'll have to." There was no response from the sleeping form on the bed, so Manta sighed and poured the water over his friends head.
Yoh awoke with a start, shaking his head. He looked up at Manta and grinned.
"Hey, what you do that for?" Yoh asked, still with a grin on his face.
"I wanted to wake you, and talking and shaking didn't work." Replied Manta with a shrug.
"Oh, ok. What did you want?" said Yoh, pushing his wet hair out of his face.
"Just wondered if you wanted to walk in the garden with me. And talk?" Stated Manta looking up at the taller youth.
"Sure," replied Yoh with another grin. He stood and walked to the door with his friend. They didn't speak as they made their way to the same spot in the garden that the others had hidden from Anna in. when they reached the place Manta sat down, hugging his knees. Yoh flopped down next to him. As Yoh opened his mouth to speak, Horo came crashing through the garden, closely followed by an angry Ren. It seemed as though Horo had taken Ren's quan dao in an effort to get Ren to follow him. Yoh jumped to his feet and caught hold of Ren before he could get hold of Horo.
"Let me go!" snapped Ren struggling to get out of Yoh's grip.
"Not until you calm down," Yoh said in a calm voice. It was only after he spoke that Ren seemed to notice exactly who was restraining him. He stopped struggling and just looked at Yoh with an unreadable expression on his face. Yoh looked back, his arms still around Ren's waist.
"Ren," whispered Yoh, in a slightly shaky voice. Ren just kept on looking at Yoh as he continued to speak. "I could handle not being your lover, but I don't think that I could take not seeing you again, not being your friend."
"We can still be friends…" Ren's voice trailed off, knowing that what he said wasn't true.
"No," Yoh was shaking his head. "Anna will never let me see you again. You know that."
"I know," Ren sighed closing his eyes "I don't want to loose you either."
"Finally!" exclaimed Horo "Now that you've seen sense we can do something about it!"
Horo's exclamation caused the two to jump, as if only just remembering that the other two were present. Ren quickly stepped out of Yoh's arm's and glared at both Horo and Manta.
"And just exactly what do you propose to do?" he asked them with eyes slightly narrowed.
"I'll tell you," replied Horo with a grin.
