Carly-chan: (this note is like…old…and the stuff in here is probably old and doesn't matter anymore…I'm just too lazy to change it…please read anyway just incase though) Hello you guys! Currently my computer is up and running but I don't get internet for a few more days. After finishing my latest chapter of Moonlight Blossom (my vampire story that I slave over all the time) extremely late it's hard to try and find a word good enough to explain how very, very happy I am to be back! Oh by the way… if any of you would like to read Moonlight Blossom, it's very interesting and kind of crazy sometimes, just tell me in your review and I'll email it to you as soon as I can! smiles Yes I do desperately want more readers and I did just shamelessly whore my Moonlight Blossom. Ok, I love you guys so much and I can't wait to start writing and posting my stories on the site again. Out of boredom and small creativity a few nights ago I started writing a new fic and I finished it just last night. It's a one shot about Hao-sama and a human and it's pretty depressing for those of you who liked that about my stories smile Ok then I'll try to start on with the other parts of this then smiles…so happy.

SGCred: Yay! Thank you for complimenting my description, I really appreciate it! Lol well I supposed that's good that it's not just me….I'll try not to let Ren hear my weird ideas about him… hmmm…. I wonder if he gets mad when I draw him in my clothes… lol. Yeah I hate that! I used to be prepared for situations like that, I'd carry around a little notebook with me, but it just didn't work out… It'd always feel weird to pull out the notebook in the middle of class and write it down, plus I was paranoid about people around me looking at it. Yeah…Choco is so weird, and his jokes aren't really funny he's just so weird that it's fun to laugh at his attempts to be funny. You'll see you'll see… it may not be a major point but I worked out a scene in my head around Ren's cursing and Lea's reaction to it. Yeah… she probably will regret learning those words, ha Jerry Springer! Lol…that is such a strange show lol. Awesome! Weird Chinese words or phrases that Jun or Ren might say would be great!

devilicious-jo: Everybody seems to think that it was Yoh… umm…that wasn't really who I was going for…maybe I will say who it was in this chapter.

Hahahhaitsme: Umm…. Hello. smiles thanks for reviewing my other fic, I'm glad you liked it! I think you might like my newest story Humanity's Unrequited Love because it's kind of depressing… it's not as well written as my other stories are though. You also guessed Yoh, well hopefully soon we'll see who it was.

Disclaimer: Shaman King isn't mine….I still wish but…no… Lea is though… and if anyone tries to take her….ummm… I'll bite you…rarw! Lol…..right!

Chapter 4: A phone call of hidden information

Lea POV

For much of the night I do not sleep, I can't get my mind off of that boy. There was something peculiar about him, special… good. I told him that someday if I saw him again I would repay him with something special. Something precious, but I have nothing that is precious that I can give him in exchange for his kindness. I have nothing so great… I'll have to find something though. It seems to be fine that I'm losing sleep, I don't have anywhere to be immediately tomorrow so I think that when I finally do fall asleep I will just sleep until I naturally wake up.

Finally I get to sleep at around two in the morning. My peaceful sleep is short but well as I wake up just six hours later at eight in the morning. As I wake I crawl slowly out of bed, then stretch and glance around the hotel room. It's elegant décor amazes me just as much as it had the night before. I order a room service breakfast for a little later and slip into the shower as I wait for it to come. Just as soon as I turn the water off the doorbell rings. "Just a minute!" I call out as I frantically look for something to cover myself with. I spot a robe and loosely slip it on, tying the belt around me in a halfhearted knot. I open the door, my hair dripping and my face red of embarrassment at how I must look right now, I smile and say good morning to the man standing before me.

"Here is your food Miss." He says kindly as he hands the tray of food to me.

"Oh thank you sir!" I say sweetly. "Please hold on just one moment!" I set the tray on the table and run over by the bed rummaging through my purse. "Here it is!" I exclaim as I pull out some money from my purse and bring it over to him. "It's a tip sir." I smile.

"Thank you very much." he says as he takes it from me. "Have a good day miss."

Then he was gone. I sat down at the table and began to eat my breakfast. As I eat quietly and alone a small wave of sadness sweeps over me. I can't explain it much but I usually don't eat alone and now that I am it makes me sad. I usually eat at least breakfast with my parents, I miss them a bit but soon I will have my sister, I wonder if she will eat with me once we are together. Once I finish eating I get dressed into a cute white dress and then finish getting ready for my day. Realizing that I don't have much to do today I sit down on the bed next to my purse and pull the envelope from it. I examine the piece of paper again and see that there is a name on it; Tao Ren. That must be my sister's name, what a beautiful name, Tao Ren. "Tao Lea and Tao Ren." I pronounce our names to see how they sound when spoken aloud together, they sound good. "Hisamu Lea and Hisamu Ren." My old name doesn't fit too well with Ren.

It's nine o'clock now I wonder if my sister is up yet. I grab the cell phone that my parents gave me and dial the number that it says on the paper. I wait patiently for my sister to answer as the phone starts to ring. Someone picked up!

"Funbari Onsen, this is Yoh." The voice ,belonging to this boy named Yoh, says from the other end. Funbari Onsen? … Does my sister really live at a hot springs bath house? Oh well, I can ask about that later, first I have to make sure that this is the right number.

"Umm… yes hello Yoh. Does Tao Ren live there?"

"Ren? …Yeah, they're outside right now, do you want tell Ren to come in and talk to you?" This boy seems nice, caring too.

" Oh no that's alright, could you just give Ren a message for me?" I liked to say my sister's name, to hear it ring out through my speech and travel through the telephone wires to her home.

"Yeah …sure." Replied the boy.

"Please tell Ren to meet me tomorrow at three o'clock at the small café just inside of town about ten miles from where you guys live. My name is Lea and it has to do with the letter that he received, tell him that for me please and I think he'll understand." I said kindly hoping that the boy wouldn't leave out things, at least not too many things.

"Alright I'll tell him. Goodbye then." Said the boy. I quietly said goodbye before I hung up. As he hung up the phone I could hear him talking, he said Ren's name so I supposed that she came back inside. If she didn't come back inside then at least there was someone else that he told my message to, if two people knew the message I couldn't see how it could be easily forgotten, that was good.

3rd person POV-Ren( but told with Horo and Yoh mostly)

As Yoh hung up the phone after his strange conversation with a girl who was looking for his golden eyed friend he heard one of his comrades coming in from the brutal training that they were doing outside, it was the blue haired Ainu named HoroHoro.

"So Anna sent you inside to answer the phone and it turned out to be a pretty long conversation so you got a break for a while eh Yoh?" Said the boy as he opened the fridge.

"Yeah… She'll have me working until really late at night to make up for what I missed though. How about you Horo? Anna wouldn't have given you a break to get something to eat or drink so what's up?" Replied Yoh.

"Anna wanted me to get her something to drink, she said that with all the work she was doing out in the hot sun she needed something to cool her down. She's sitting in the shade you know, not doing anything." The Ainu commented with a bit of anger towards Anna. "So Yoh …who was on the phone?"

" It was some girl named Lea calling for Ren…about a letter. She wanted me to tell him to meet her at the café in town at three. She said he'd understand… I sure don't." Yoh was clearly confused.

"The letter?" A smirk-like smile formed on the boys face as he began to understand. "Oh I see now….Ren!" He shouted out Ren's name repeatedly as he bound out of the kitchen quickly giving Anna her drink on his way over to Ren.

"Kisama!" Ren yelled at Horo, he very much disliked to be disturbed while he was training. His words came out like a growl. "What do you want baka Ainu?"

"Ren…do you remember that letter of yours that I read?" He said with a smile, he was loving the fact that for once he knew something that Ren didn't, and that Ren would want to know, he wanted to make this joy last as long as he could.

"Yes." Ren growled at the memory. "Why would I forget it?"

"I don't know why you would… you wouldn't I guess." Horo commented just slightly confused, Horo obviously hadn't realized that Ren hadn't expected an answer to that question.

"Get on with it Horo… kisama." Ren said rushing his friend in a half mumble, half growl.

"Oh yeah…the letter… somebody called abut it, I think her name was Lea and she wanted to meet you… I think she was that twin of yours." The blue haired boy said watching the pure agony on Ren's face, it was funny really, how upset he got when the great Tao Ren couldn't get what he wanted when he wanted it.

"When does she want to meet me then HoroHoro?" Ren was trying to stay as calm as possible so that Horo would tell him the answers that he wanted but everyone who knew him knew that it was pretty much impossible. He tried to muffle it so Horo wouldn't hear but Tao Ren was grunting under his breath in annoyance.

"Oh…that…you'll find out soon enough." Horo said with a playfully sweet looking smile.

That was it, the agony and annoyance that Ren had been suffering through had turned to pure anger, he had snapped. In one swift movement Ren's weapon, his kwan dao, was at Horo's throat. It was a tight spot but with as often as this happened Horo was learning how to escape it. With two steps back and a turn Horo was out of Ren's hold, the only thing left for him to do was to take off in a run like the wind. Horo knew that he would be caught each time eventually, he was clumsy and slower than his purple haired friend, but he still tried… for the pleasure of the game. Ren found the hunt pleasurable and exciting as they played, Horo at first didn't, his life was on the line most times, but looking back at it once he was safe he fancied it. There weren't many people who watched that would say the game wasn't amusing and fun, it was obvious Ren felt the same as them but they wouldn't of guessed that Horo did too. Horo never let anyone know how he felt about this, he usually thought about it while he was alone in his room at night looking back on the day.

Horo's clumsiness got the best of him and he stumbled, slowing him down more, the approaching Ren took that moment to his advantage and tackled Horo to the ground. With his friend pinned and no way for him to escape he'd be sure to get the information he desired, Tao Ren never lost. Horo, having hit pretty hard on the ground and not quite yet recovered, closed his eyes and gave out a small moan of pain. Ren didn't care what pain he was in, he'd be fine… he always was after all. Ren grabbed at the collar of his friends shirt and began to shake him violently. Nobody knew how careful Ren really was with his friends though and they didn't know how much he cared about them. As he shook his friend HoroHoro he was precise and careful not to let Horo's head hit the ground too many times, he didn't want to cause any real damage that Horo couldn't recover easily from later on. If someone were to notice and approach him on this though he would have simply laughed and said that he didn't want to pay for the baka's medical bills or that he didn't need any more guilt on his tarnished conscience. He had it all planed out, he couldn't let people know that the tough rock-like boy Tao Ren was really a bit soft in the center.

"Ren!" Horo yelled with a lot of trouble as Ren shook him. "Stop!"

Realization swept over Ren as he saw that Horo would become too dizzy to tell him if he continued on like that. "Tell me Horo!" Ren yelled as he had captured his friend and wouldn't let him go until he got what he wanted.

Horo saw that he couldn't win… he couldn't do anything and Anna would kill the two of them if they spent the entire day bickering like that on the floor. "Fine Ren! Tomorrow at the café right in town… three o'clock."

Ren took just a short moment to process it, "Good." he said plainly before getting up and walking back out into the yard, setting Horo free.

Carly-chan: Well now…that seemed to take forever for me to write…and I think it was a bit longer than the other chapters… if it was that will be my gift to you all for this update taking forever… blame my lazy summer-ness. If it wasn't longer…I'm super sorry. Yay I wrote a lot on Ren's end this time… more than usual at least… that should make you guys happy right? Oh…and that couple of scenes at the end with Horo and Ren… 'm sorry if they seemed to lean too much towards a Horo and Ren yaoi thing. I probably won't make this a HoroxRen story (I'm still debating though…and I'm taking your votes… ok so vote people!) …I try not to let my weirdo obsessions intrude on my stories tool much…yeah. I may write a HoroxRen fic sometime… but I'm just not too good at writing yaoi fics and I don't have any inspiration… lol so yeah. Also I started saving my fics to upload them in a new format so I'm sorry if it turns out a bit different than the other chapters… I don't think it will. Did you guys wonder if I was still alive while I was too lazy to write? …I'm sorry! But I'm totally not dead. Oh and SGCred I'll reply to your email as soon as I can but I may to be able to until next week, and in the email I will reply to your review for HDNR.
