sorry evryone, the previous chap had been too dramatic, UGH! I hate it! But I can't do anything about it, this fic is dramatic and as well as it's real writer, (as I told you, I didn't wrote chapter1-6, I just continued this) so I might as well go on with ze flow of the story...

Oh, anyway...

to: Miry: Wow, you sound too friendly! Anyway, as I always said, I'm not the one who wrote chpater 1-6, it's my idiot cousin. The one she typed on chpater 6 is really chinese (just a dialect)but in a whole wrong shit grammar and totally embarassed me a lot! (I just discovered that when I read her fic from chpater 1-6)she wanted to learn chinese (she's japanese and trying harder to study chinese so that I can't tease her words she don't understand) actually i'm the one who's chinese here not her, and I don't usually use chinese in my fics cuz I'm tired of that language... what's your e-mail ad anyway, so maybe we can chat throught it sometime?

thanks a lot for reviewing!

Chapter 9: THE ENCOUNTER AFTER 3 YEARS

It's been 2 months... 2 months they had been apart... maybe it was just a normal matter for others but not for him. Yeah, he had been together with 'her' but she's not the 'she' that he had been used to go with. He will be married to her in the next 2 weeks... time's really fast indeed, he will be finally a husband to a slut he didn't even love. He just find it funny everytme he thinks about it... It had been a big scandal in school. He ranted about their relationship and what happens to idiots who'll barge in it or try to make fun of 'her' and now, who is he with? And who will he be married with? To the famous model from Germany! Now everyone thought that what he ranted before were all lies... he's a big fat liar for them... he just fooled 'her' as they thought. But he never gave in to them. He just never commented about those rumors and kept silent about their questions 'why?', 'how come?', 'what happened?'... Anyway... that's the past, they had been used to see him always with that 'model.
They still see each other but... as if they don't know each other... they just pass by each other.
It hurts 'somehow', actually 'absolutely'... he admit, he still doesn't forget 'her'. Who wants this situation anyway? If he'll break the pledge, it'll probably be a very big loss to him, he'll lose her forever... he's a shaman and he can still see her in the 'other life' if that happens but, it sounds too different... it's better if he can't be with 'her', it's for her own good anyway. She'll be safer this way...

"It's enough for me to see her safe and alive..."

That's what he always say to himself

"Ren? Snap out of it!" Macchi yelled awakening him from his thoughts. "What are you really thinking anyway?" Macchi had been too irritated eating lunch with him just to find him lost in his thoughts.

"Nothing..." He replied as he looked around the school garden, catching some fresh air.

"I'm tired of it! Please! You're always like this! It's like I'm just alone and talking to no one! HELLO! Are you listening?"

"Huh? Yah... I am listening..." He said looking back at her. "Sorry..." He said it but never meant it...

"(sigh) Ok... I won't bother you... I know you're thinking about our wedding next 2 weeks..." She said.

"Uhh... yeah... sort of..."

She smiled to him. She just don't know what is he thinking. She's expecting he's serious on her...

"How poor she is..." He thought.

(9:00 pm)

Ren stayed on the Funbari cemetery alone, he didn't even allowed Bason to go with him. He wanted to be alone so he chose this place... a peaceful place where he can see the moon and stars... the best place to be in thoughts... He sat down on one of the tombstonesas he started to go back to the memories he had on this place.
He still remember the times when he was still a cold hearted jerk, trying to destroy everything, this place was the place he always used to be in, the first time he first saw the group... the time he fought with Yoh in the shaman fight, to know who qualifies to go in the real tournament which turns out to be a tie then he became their friend and learned that humans are not what he think. This place is just too memorable for him... now... he is facing a very big problem... actually it's not a problem anymore but... the memories of her still lingers in his mind... he wants her back...

"Stargazing huh... never thought you'll be back to this place after 3 years..." A very familiar voice asked behind him as its footsteps get nearer.

He looked back and never expected to see the ainu... the ainu that he usually called 'idiot' before. The elder brother of the girl he used to love...

"H- Horohoro?"

"Hisashiburi. (long time no see)"

Ren went speechless as Horohoro wnet towards him... unexpectedly just to recieve a hard punch on his face...

"GRRRRRR! (rubs cheeks) IS THAT HOW YOU GREET A PERSON YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A LONG TIME?" Ren yelled.

"How dare you do this to her!" Horohoro asked, seizing Ren's collar. "WHY!"

"What did I do to her?"

"How dare you make her cry! YOU'RE NOT WORTHY FOR HER TEARS!"

He didn't know what to tell him... should he tell him what happened? No... he wanted to forget her... though it hurts he have to...

"Yeah, I am not worthy! Of course, I don't love her... in fact, I fooled her, it's just normal I have to dump her..."

"YOU BASTARD!" Horohoro threw Ren away, letting him thrown down the ground.

"Then what do you want me to do? Continue fooling her? I have Matilda now so I don't need you're sister anymore..."

"USTOTSUKI (Liar!)" Horohoro kicked him on the head, letting him lie on the ground, crouching in pain.

"Damn you!" He cursed back.

"If you really mean what you're telling, you didn't hesistated to strike me back..."

"I'm not hiding anything! I love Matilda and we will be married this next 2 weeks!"

"Tao Ren, I know you a lot. You're just making a fool out of yourself!"

Ren glared at him for a while as he also glare back at him. He wanted to strike him back... but he just sighed and sat down the ground...

"What do you think and 'IDIOT' can do with my situtaion?"

"You...!" Horohoro was about to give him another blow but he paused for a while. He let out a small chuckle and sat down beside him... "You're really the Tao Ren I knew..."

After a minute of silence...

"I knew you're just forced..."

Ren looked back to him... "Who told you that?"

"I know you a lot... it's obvious from the way you reacted on me..."

Ren let out a sigh... "Finally you're narrow-head had grown an inch to notice it..., yeah I was sorta forced. Why should you care anway? It's already the past... we can't do anything about it..."

"Now you're the one who's narrow headed..."

"You just don't know the shit I went through..." And he started to tell him everything from the first to the last...

(after a while)

"Did... he really told you that?"

"He meant it... everytime he says he'll kill someone, he'll really do it... and it's the thing I never wanted to happen to her..."

"Sorry about the rudeness... I'm sorry I never cleared things out..."

"Would you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Uhh... how is she doing? I mean... uhh... does she still remember me or tell something about me?"

Horohoro just smiled. "Just look at yourself and you'll know..." He stood up and walked away...

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving..." He walked away... "Oh... I almost forgot... Thanks for sparing my sister's life.I owe you my life for doing that...Now I won't forbid her to cry for you cuz you're now worthy for her tears... any message for her?"

Ren paused for a while. He finally smiled and said... "Just tell her 'I hate her from the bottom of my bottomless anger for her'..."

Horohoro chuckled. That's what she used to tell about Ren before, last 3 years... So he knew about it...

"That'll surely reach to her... ja..."

"Ren... hard to admit but I dont want my sister to be lost in loneliness... she needs you and I'd do anything to bring you back to her..." Horohoro thought as he walked away...
