Prom Thoughts and the PUDDING Incident

"Hey Yoh! YOH!" Manta panted as he caught up to Yoh.

"Wha-Oh hey Manta!" Yoh responded as he snapped awake, turning around to face the 3'7" (changed it thanks to crazy4padfoot! I figured I'm only about 5 foot or so…heh..) midget. "What have you been up to Manta? I didn't see you at breakfast. Good thing you didn't show up too…"Yoh's thoughts trailed back to the PORRIDGE incident, and shook his head from the mere thought of it.

"Oh, I decided to stay in the dorm to study for the exams." Manta replied.

"Again? Ah, come on Manta… exams are still three months away!"

"Only three months away Yoh," Manta snapped, "Don't tell me you didn't study yet."

Yoh grinned sheepishly, then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny? Do I have anything on my face?" Manta questioned confusingly, and rubbing his cheek furiously.

"Nothing's on your face Manta, but boy do you sure sound like Anna!"

"I do not!" protested the little guy in shock.

"No, I haven't exactly um…well…studied yet. Anyways, it'll all work out just fine, relax!" Yoh lazily grinned.

"Whatever. Come ON Yoh! If we. don't hurry, we'll. be late. and Mr. Kinomoto. will be. mad. at us. again." Manta shouted as he tugged for Yoh to hurry up. Yoh however, I'm sorry to say, had bought a one way trip to La-La Land and is now broke on any chances of coming back.

"Alrighty, alrighty…I'm coming!" Half of his mind was still asleep, while the other half was trying furiously hard to stay awake.

When they reached the door, they say something that could only mean one thing…

Pain.

For in the doorway stood Anna standing with her arms crossed, feet tapping as if waiting for an inobedient child to answer, a cold and furious expression (if any human being could), with her hands curled in a fist, ready to strike. Her eyes glared at Manta, then turned to stare at Yoh.

Manta gulped. "Uh…hey Anna! Morning!" He quickly slipped in past her, trying to avoid the Ice Queen's Lengendary Left. Anna ignored him and continued to glare at Yoh.

"Um…Hi Anna!" Yoh said stupidly. Manta slapped his forehead. Yoh was done for. Nobody was ever that stupid. Then again, no one else is Yoh.

"You're late Yoh." Anna said coldly.

"Wh-What? B-b-but the b-bell hasn't rang yet…" Yoh said, confused. But his voice trailed off as he saw Anna's glare deepen and raise one eyebrow. This was his cue to shut-up if he wanted to live.

"I told you to meet me here ten minutes before class started so I can help you review your exam."

"Whoops…Oh ya…heh…my bad…forgot…been busy…um…sorry?" Yoh asked scratching the back of his neck, sweating and hoping that Anna in some way would forgive him whilst looking over to Manta with a 'How can she be so like you?' look who just shrugged and gave him a 'I told you you should start studying.' look. The Ice Queen was never that nice though. Yoh was prepared for it. He held his breath…and…

"Did you do your training?" Anna questioned suspiciously instead.

Yoh looked up and loosened. "Huh? Oh. Hai Anna!" He answered truthfully.

"And you took a short nap under the big tree, right?"

"Ah…heh…" There was NOTHING getting past the itako. Don't even attempt to lie in front of her if you know what's good for you.

THWAAAK!

Anna left Yoh to stand there with his eyes twirling while she took her seat in class.

DING! DING! DING!

Yoh quickly took his seat before the teacher came in.

He looked around. His seat was next to the window with Anna's seat next to his. He liked it this way so he could stare out the window and watch the birds fly by. Ren and Horo Horo sat on opposite sides in the front now since they clearly could not get along and needed adult, or, teacher supervision. Pirika sat with Ren and Tamao sat by Horo Horo. The teacher obviously thought that the girls had the ability to control themselves as well as the temper of their boyfriends.

Manta sat in an upright posture right behind Yoh and was busy rummaging through his algebra (I know…I hate algebra too…too much thinking…w/e) before class started. Jeanne and Lyserg sat in the back.

The gray haired girl had her arm on a flushed green haired boy's shoulder with her head rested gently on top of her hands. They were a timid pair and was thus allowed the back. Chocolove also sat near the front, where he wouldn't bug Horo Horo or Ren, but also where the teacher could keep an eye on him.

Yoh's eyes then wandered to the door. In no sooner than a few seconds, Hao came rushing in, panting and screaming, "Gomen Nasai Kinomoto-Sensei! I was-" but he stopped short when he noticed the teacher was not even there. "Oh." He let out a sigh of relief. Everyone stared at him and held back snickers. (No not candy Snickers…need…CANDY! FUEL! BRB)

Yoh snickered. "So much for the little 'I won't stick up for you in Mr. Kinomoto's class again' speech, eh Oni-chan? Are you sure you weren't the one needing help?"

Hao was now furious at the fact that everyone was laughing at him. No one had ever laughed at Asakura Hao. He was too perfect. "I…I-I was…-I IT WAS ALL THOSE STUPID GIRLY FANS' FAULT!" For a minute or two, you would've thought he'd burst.

"GOOD MORNING CLASS!" Mr. Kinomoto suddenly appeared. Making everyone jump in their seats as their attention turned to him.

Mr. Kinomoto hummed Fur Elise while getting his papers ready for class. You have to feel sorry for the class. The teacher did not have a very good singing voice. If you had walked past the window outside, you would've thought someone was being tortured.

He looked up, and frowned. "Mr. Asakura…Would you-"

Yoh suddenly jerked awake. "Forgive me Sensei! I swear I won't-" but his words were silenced by the looks of his classmates. The whole class was staring at him to shut-up. "Oh…heh…you mean him…sorry…" Yoh flushed into a shade of bright pink.

"Mr. Asakura. Would you mind sitting down? You are disrupting the class." The teacher said making eye contact with Hao. Hao grumbled something and sat down.

Mr Kinomoto cleared his voice and began. "As you know, it is near the end of the school year, and you know what that means…" the teacher said as if he was talking to a group fo three year old kids instead of a class of eighteen year olds. No one was humored.

"EXAMS!" the teacher cried in frustration that made the students yet again jump in their seats. Everyone except for Anna and Manta groaned.

"Which also means," he continued ignoring the complaints he received, "that the Senior Prom (Originally Graduation Prom thought of cuz of Nelia-Chan, but now called Senior Prom) is drawing near…" This time, there were a few murmers from the boys and a few excited squeals from the girls.

"Everyone will attend this prom, am I clear? Asakura? Kyoyama? I've been notified you two are the only ones who had not attended a single one of our other previous proms. You will attend this time, you hear?"

Yoh flushed and Anna calmly replied, "Yes, Sensei."

All of those who knew about Yoh and Anna knew exactly why they never bothered to show up before. 1) They didn't have to. 2) Yoh was too scared to ask Anna. 3) Anna would NEVER have agreed to go. Or so everyone thought. But upon hearing this, both secretly smiled a little for themselves.

"Hehe! Now's a perfect time to ask Anna…she won't have a reason to kill me. She HAS to go, and, she won't go with anyone else…right?" Yoh thought as he looked over to Anna.

"Yoh had better ask me…I've got a reputation to uphold. I'm not known for being soft…so I never went before…but his time…" Anna thought as she looked over to Yoh.

It was .only lunch and already Yoh had turned down more than twenty girls. None of the boys dared ask Anna, and those brave few who did, I'm sorry to say, were introduced to Anna's Legendary Left.

"Girls…suffocating…me! The sooner the I ask Anna, the better! But when?" Yoh thought as he gasped for air while being choked by his fans.

"Oh Yoh-Kun! Will you go to the prom with me?"

"No Yoh-Kun! Go with me!"

"Please Yoh Kun, come with me!"

"GEROFF guys! I'm choking here! Please! Not now!" Yoh choked, trying to get out.

"Alright then! Here's my number! Be sure to give me a ring! C ya!"

"Mine too Yoh-Kun! Luv Ya!"

Yoh was left with a pile of numbers. He sighed and tossed them in the nearest bin.

"Had a good morning so far, Ototo?" Hao came up smirking. He had tossed a bunch of numbers in the bin too. Apparently, both dealt with the same situation. Obviously the Asakura twins were the far most popular guys in school.

"Well…exclude being yelled at by Anna, lectured by the teacher, nearly suffocating to death, and choke by the fans, I'd say…GREAT!"

Hao sighed and blinked. Yoh was always so cheerful it was unbelievable. "Guess that's how it is when you are stupid and never use your brain." He chuckled a little and turned away.

" Come ON, Oni-chan! Try some! I just made it! I call it the Blazing Lament Extremely Cool and Hot pudding." Pirika came up urging her brother to try another of her homemade specials while making little airplane noises. You have to feel sorry for Horo Horo. The last recipe was a disaster that –gulp- you just DON'T wanna know. (Hey…its hard trying to make something out of B.L.E.C.H! If you have some better suggestions, I'll take it! I give you credit of course!)

"BLECH?" Horo Horo cried after holding up his fingers to see what the initials of Blazing Lament Extremely Cool and Hot pudding spelled.

Pirika frowned at her brother. "Oni-chan! That's not nice! You can hurt other people's feelings like that! Must I lecture you on your manners again?"

"B-B-But-" Horo Horo stammered.

"Try it already, Boro Boro," Ren said coming into view, "They're specially made by my girlfriend. Don't tell me you're turning her down!"

Horo Horo was dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to start with the insult, Ren forcing him to eat the pudding whilst never have tried it before, or the fact that Ren keeps calling his sister his girlfriend.

"Translation: That's my SISTER! I can turn her down if I want! And its Horo Horo! NOT Boro Boro, Ren Len…wait no…Ran Two…no"…" Horo Horo said trying to come up with a good insult for Ren.

Ren smirked. He turned to Pirika, who was on the verge of bursting into tears and said, "I'll try it. It can't be bad. It is made by my girlfriend afterall." Ren shot Horo Horo a glare and Pirika a charming smile.

"Pervert," Horo Horo thought, "Why's he hitting on MY SISTER!"

Pirika jumped up and down, nodding happily like a happy little girl and cried, "Open wide, Renny-Poo!"

Before Ren could protest that he was only joking or that he needed to go, Pirika already stuffed it in his mouth.

"So? How is it?" Pirika asked excitedly.

Ren, who was on the verge of suffocating, turned to Pirika, face red.

"You…Y-You d-d-don't l-l-l-like it?" Pirika began to sob.

Ren shook his head furiously, and managed to choke out, "Yes! O-Of course! I like! It! Must! Go!" before rushing to the restroom. Unfortunately, he never made it. And well, you get the point. Need I point out the obvious?

Pirika uttered a small scream and quickly rushed over to help Ren up.

Yoh and Horo Horo were left to stand there. Deciding to avoid the incident and breaking the silence between them, Horo Horo asked, "So uh…Yoh?"

"Uh…ya?" Yoh answered, hoping it wasn't about what they just witnessed. Afterall, they still had lunch.

"Anou…Are you…Are you going to…to ask Anna to the prom?"

"Are you going to ask Tamao?"

"Uh…ya…" Horo Horo answered not knowing he was even being questioned. Tamao who just happened to be passing by, covered her mouth and rand off giggling while blushing furiously.

"Same here." They finally faced each other and collapsed onto the floor laughing their heads off. At the incident, their answers, and their stupidity.

"Are you seriously going to ask Anna?" Trey questioned again, now becoming serious and somewhat scared.

Yoh shrugged. "Have to…rules…" Looking at Horo Horo's dumbfounded face, he sighed and continued. "Look, maybe you and Tamao haven't had the same kind of relationship I've had with Anna, but…"

"But?"

"I-I really do love Anna. I know I act all scared and complain about her all the time, but deep down, I truly love her. I've waited all my life for one special dance with Anna. I was really glad that Mr. Kinomoto told us we had to attend…"

Horo Horo's jaw dropped.

"I've been with Anna all my life. She's been my friend ever since we were- I don't know. The point is, she was always there to look out for me. She knew Hao was lots stronger than I was, and she wanted to be Shaman Queen, right? Then why didn't she marry Hao? She had faith in me when no one else had. And well, I want to be there for her. Besides, she is a rose. Beautiful, magnificent, shockingly amazing…and yet, kinda rough…" Yoh held his cheek and grinned. "I don't think you really understand yet, Horo Horo. I love her beyond love can describe…" Yoh finished. "And I hope she loves me too…" he quietly added to himself.

"D-Did you? Make a-a-a con-fe-ssion?" Horo Horo stammered.

Yoh snapped back from his daydream. He sheepishly grinned , patted Horo Horo on the shoulder and left him to stand there like a statue.

Tamao who had come back, looked at Horo Horo and said, "You know, you'll collect dust standing there like that…"

"Huh?"

She sighed and continued, "So…the prom huh?"

"Ya…"

"Have you thought about it often?"

"Have I?"

Tamao was shocked and disappointed at the same time, but continued to question him.

"Are you excited?"

"What?"

"You are such a BAKA Horo Horo! How can you be so stupid!" Tamao burst into tears and ran off with her face in her hands, leaving the confused Horo Horo to collect dust yet again.

"Huh?"

"Oh Oni-Chan…" Pirika came out from her hiding place, hearing everything, having one hand on her face.

"Why'd she run off like that? Is it cuz of something I said?"

"No, Oni-chan…It's because of something you didn't say. Tamao is…very, well, shy…you should understand that she wanted you to ask her…"

"What? Ice Cream?"

Pirika slapped her forehead and sighed. "I give up…" she got up and left, leaving Horo Horo to collect dust again.

Yoh had spent the whole day pondering about how to approach all this. " 'Urgh! It's only a dance!' A senior prom dance, yes... 'A dance! Not a proposal!' The closest thing to a proposal though 'What am I worried about? It's a definite yes!' But what if it's a no? 'SHUT UP!' He had had arguments like this all day, He was Yoh! The carefree no worries Yoh! Why oh why did he start getting worried NOW? Yoh was walking down Anna's hallway.

He stopped. Anna's room. If he didn't do it now, he would have to do it later. Taking a deep breath, he knocked. The door was open. He went in. "Anna…I-"

But what he saw was NOT what he wanted to see…

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! CLIFFHANGER! Whaddya think? Okay? Or too boring. Me was getting tired. Me write something up and go to bed. Yawns well? Pleaz R&R! Don't forget about BLECH! THNX!
