Helena-Jeanne-Chibi: This is from awhile back…but I guess it is a RenXoc fic, which wasn't the original plan…so the school thing IS a good question…
Spooky: Ha glad you liked it…I'd be happy to write about Hao…but I only read the manga and haven't met him yet! (Although Ms. Spoilers cough-Amarante-cough would know about him…)
K: Hey Anna…Got food?
An: Again? (Sigh) Maybe, I can't remember...
K: YOU CAN'T REMEMBER! WHEN DID YOU EAT LAST! HOW COULD YOU GO WITHOUT EATING!
An: I dunno. I've been so busy training Yoh, I wasn't really concentrating on that.
K: (Shudders) Believe me, I was threatened with no food, and it wasn't nice even thinking about it!
An: Oh? Why were you threatened?
K: (Coughs uncomfortably) I wasn't doing what G-ma wanted.
An: ...? And?
K: And she told to run around the town... and I asked her what would happen if I were to say "no" (Fidgets).
An: All the way around town hmm?
K: Yeah. That's when she asked me if I enjoyed eating... AND SHE WAS SERIOUS! I told her she would have a granddaughter ghost, and she didn't even CARE! (Shudders again)
An: ...interesting method...
K: (Eyes widen) Don't do that to Yoh; no food is wrong! Anyways Anna, what has happened with you, anything interesting?
An: Well, truth be told, no. We haven't done anything except train… although your training system seems much more exciting than ours...
K: (Shrugs) Eh. (Her stomach rumbles) Ya know what? I think I'll go check in the kitchen. (Walks into another room) Oops this isn't the kitchen... (Kara walks all around, getting lost and trying to find the kitchen. After awhile she ends up back with Anna in the living room) Where the HELL is your kitchen!
An: Give up? In there...
K: (Looks in kitchen) YOU HAVE NO FOOD!
An: Um, yeah...
K: (Falls down on the floor dramatically) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Y: (Speaks up after watching all the…drama) Just relax, there might be one place that's still open...
K: (Runs over to Yoh, pleading at his feet) WHERE! TELL ME! PLEASE!
Y: Ok! Ok! We're going...
Amidamaru: Going where Lord Yoh?
Y: Kara's hungry...again.
K: (Stands up and races to the door) Well what are we waiting for? (Yoh walks out, Kara following excitedly, Anna seemingly bored).
K: (After awhile of walking) So where exactly is this place?
Y: Oh, here there and the other place. Dun worry, I know where it is...
K: (Whispers to Anna) That's not very reassuring.
An: You're telling me...
(They follow Yoh, and end up at a Chinese restaurant.)
K: (Frowns) This looks kind of familiar for some reason... but I can't place it... (Follows Yoh inside) Hmm…
An: I don't know why…it looks beat down.
(They all go in and sit down at a table, Amidamaru hovers next to Yoh.)
An: Now what?
K: What kind of food do they have here Yoh?
Y: Uh, well I don't know, I heard this place was good...
K: You haven't come here before!
Jun: (Walks in, puzzled) Yoh? Anna?
Y: Jun!
J: Why are you all here?
Y: To eat...
K: (Turns and looks at Jun, sort of lost, wondering if this means that there will be no food. Not to mention Jun reminds her of someone…)
J: This place closed down...remember? This is where my brother and I live...
K: YOH YOU BROUGHT US TO A RUN DOWN RESTRAUNT!
Y: But someone told me this place was good!
An: (Turns to Yoh) Well, we already new you were an idiot...but do you have to keep proving it to us?
A: Er, Lord Yoh, I think the place you are thinking of was in a different town…
Y: (Laughs nervously) Uh sorry! I really heard that this place was good!
Am: Wait! I remember now, it was that ghost we met a month ago who told you that!
J: It might have been, if the place didn't go out of business...
Y: (Thinks a moment) Oh yeah... that guy died like twenty or thirty years ago... oops.
K: (After giving Yoh a withering glance, she looks at Jun ponderingly.)
J: Well, unless you want a run-in with Brother, I suggest that you go before he comes back...
K: (Lost) What?
A: Actually, it might be interesting to stay and watch... (Glances at Kara.)
K: (Completely lost) Umm will someone let me in here?
J: (Looks at Kara) Who's this?
K: I'm Kara... and you?
J: Jun. (Turns to Anna) THE Kara?
An: (Smiles and nods)
K: (Still lost)
J: Oh, dear...all the more reason you should leave...he's pretty much baying for her blood...
K: (Stares at Jun and then finally realizes why she looks familiar) REN! You're eyes look like REN'S!
J: (Blinks) Well, they should...I'm his sister.
K: (Taken aback)
An: Ja! Great expression you have there Kara...
K: (Glares at Yoh, who laughs nervously. Standing up stiffly she stalks to the door.)
An: Well, the look on Kara's face is priceless anyhow...
(Kara stops and just glares at Anna, not something she generally does, she doesn't often glare at anybody for that matter.)
An: (Beams back) Just the truth...
K: (Mutter. Mutter. Mutters while glaring) Stupid Yoh... (Mutter) not restaurant (Mutter) Ren (MUTTER, MUTTER!)
(Kara storms off, opening the door without looking, and running in. She of course, got confused, and went in the wrong door, running into Ren. With a small explosion Ren transformed into a cat.)
K: (Yelling) WHAT THE HELL? YOU AREN'T PART OF THE ZODIAC ARE YOU!
R: No, my name is Fire...what's a zodiac? I'm just a harmless cat...
An: Kara? KARA!
(All the sudden Anna comes into Kara's view, right where they all had been sitting.)
K: (blink, blink) Huh? Wha-?
An: You sorta snapped when Jun told you she was Ren's sister...
K: (Huge relieved gasp) Phew! That would have been scary if... well never mind… (Shakes head to get the vision out of her head. Then she goes back to glaring at Yoh and muttering. Huffs over to the door, opening it quickly, and promptly bumps into Ren. Kara takes a step back, looking at Ren, then back at the door, sort of confused, but trying to hide it.)
R: (Taking it in a stride) What? Scared to see me?
K: As if, I was just gonna leave so I didn't have to see your ugly face. (Glares bloody murder at Ren.)
Y: Uh-oh...
R: Unfortunately for you, you ran out of luck. As if luck would do anything for you anyways...you're too stupid to be able to use it properly...
K: (Kara goes red) I don't need luck to beat a fool like you.
R: Really? You couldn't beat me last time, and you had enough luck to have a ghost of a fighter come along...
K: (Remembers she left Tori behind) Heh, well lucky for you I gave her the day off, I figured I didn't need a ghost while fighting lower class shamans.
Am: Wait where is Tori?
An: Oh god...
Y: I don't know... she wasn't with Kara when we left... was she?
(Yoh and Amidamaru try to remember.)
An: NO SHE WASN'T YOU DIMWITS!
Y: But she was there when Kara first came... wasn't she? What happened to her?
K: (Vein pop) SHE IS JUST FINE WHERE SHE IS YOU IDIOTS!
R: I'm with you on the idiots part...
K: (Turns to Ren, not glaring) I know! Sometimes I can't believe what they do- HEY! (Catches herself) Don't call my friends idiots! (Glare)
R: (Sarcastically) Fine. I'll lie and call them geniuses. Don't make me agree with you if you don't like it...
(Yoh and Amidamaru look at each other)
A: They called you an idiot Lord Yoh!
Y: Um, they called you one too Amidamaru.
An: And? So did I...
Y: Yeah but I don't listen-I mean-
An: Surprise, surprise... (Raises eyebrow)
(Yoh tries to come up with something, but can't.)
A: Hm, what about "I mean I don't listen to that because I know you're always thinking about my best interest."
Y: Oh, that is good!
An: What a load...
Y: (Turns to Anna) I mean that I don't listen to the idiot stuff 'cuz I know your always thinking of my- (Turns to Amidamaru) what was it again?
A: Best interest.
An: Best interest
Y: (Turns to Anna and grins) Yup!
An: (Rolls her eyes)
(Ren and Kara are busy glowering threats at each other through that whole exchange. Then Kara flashes out one dagger, holding to Ren's neck in an instant.)
K: How about I just end this now... And then I won't have to worry about your fat head, or the "wedding plans".
R: Fine by me. But if you don't mind (Flashes out spear towards Kara's head) I'D like to do the honors.
Y: Uh... (Shifting from Kara to Ren, and then talks to Anna) Shouldn't we stop them or something?
An: No, it's funny. Besides I have complete confidence that Kara will be fine.
Y: She just started shaman training!
An: And she's already at your level, if not passed.
Y: (Blinks, shrugs) If you say so...
An: I do. I'm also hinting that you need to get stronger.
Y: Oh... (Thinks) I hope that doesn't mean that she will start going HARDER on training... (Out loud) I can't help it if she likes training!
R: Yes, it appears that you like training SO much; you'd faint over the chance to do it.
K: (Goes slightly red)
Y: What?
R: Yes… sometimes, things can go SPLASHINGLY, but you never know when you'll just be SOAKED...
Y: (Looks at Anna) Wait, am I missing something...
K: (To Ren) Shut-up Dumbass.
R: Your running out of creative nicknames too...what's the matter? Water on the brain?
K: Hn, using the same thing over and over again, you're the one losing your edge. (Slightly flustered, her dagger isn't so tight on Ren anymore... though there is a slight cut on his neck now.)
R: Then why don't you say something edgy?
K: Humph.
R: Well, that was just about the edgiest thing I've ever heard.
(Kara is really red now, out of anger, frustration, and a tad out of embarrassment.)
R: Such an unflattering shade of red. You looked better wet on the pavement.
K: Well at least I look better then you ever will. (Starts to mutter)
R: Oh, that might've hurt...if I was a baka like, oh, you.
Y: Wait, did he say on wet pavement? (Still back in the conversation oblivious to Kara's huge vein throb.)
An: Wow, you're actually paying attention to something...
Y: What?
An: (Sigh) Never mind...
K: I don't need to talk this crap with you, I know you're an idiot, and the "agreement" is only bettering you. I don't need to sit here listening to all your-your stupid insults!
R: Then leave. No one asked you to come in the first place.
K: Believe me... (Glares at Yoh) I wouldn't have come here if I knew 'you' would be here.
R: And I would have stayed out longer if I'd known you were here as well...
K: Then move out of the way.
R: (Moves glaring, his spear still almost touching her head) Is that enough room, your highness?
K: (Mock bows) Why of course m'leige. (She walks out, but as she passes him, she grazes his cheek with her dagger) That is a promise, next time it won't be so light. Until next time fiancé. (She says fiancé with loathing.)
R: There won't be much of a next time. I'll cut you down in one blow. (Swiftly swings his spear, causing a not-so-large gash on Kara's back.)
K: (Glances back at Ren, giving him one final glare, and then keeps on going, ignoring the cut as if it where nothing.)
Y: (Blink, blink) Uh...
An: Oh, c'mon. (Drags Yoh out, casting a glare at Ren on her way through the door.)
