Chapter four: A picnic
The Asakura's were doing outdoor training. Well, they're mostly hanging out and enjoying the sun except for Yoh since Anna is the one who supervises his training.
Tamao watched Yoh and Anna train. Sighed. Why can't I have the courage to tell Hao how I feel? Tamao thought dejectedly. Sigh.
Hao was lying on the mat, cloud-watching. Poor Yoh, Hao thought as he heard another groan escape from his younger brother's lips.
"But Annaaaaa---" Yoh whined.
Crack.
Tamao and Hao sweatdropped. Poor Yoh.
"Anna-san. Would you and Yoh-san like to have a rest? I brought some sandwiches."
"Onegai, Anna-chan." Yoh pleaded.
Anna turned towards Tamao's direction and sighed. "Alright, but you will add another hundred to each exercise, Yoh." Was the adamant reply to Yoh's pleas.
Yoh, Hao and Tamao sweatdropped.
"Why me?" Yoh whimpered as tears poured down his face.
"Did you say something?!"
Yoh froze. "Na-- nandemonai......."
Hao supressed a groan. How did I end up having a spinless brother like Yoh..... Come to think of it everyone is spineless when confronting the itako from hell. Hao mused as he check the lunch Tamao made.
After eating Hao immediately left the picnic spot and went into the forest that surrounded the glade where they were training.
Tamao suddenly understood why he left so fast. After eating was... well, actually before, during and after eating was rather uncomfortable. Yoh and Anna were taking their time eating and enjoying each others company ( author translates: Anna and Yoh were making out). She mumbled an excuse and left in the same direction as Hao.
In the forest, Tamao sighed again. Why can't I tell him? Tamao mused as she leaned against a tree.
"So you got sick too?"
Tamao looked up and saw Hao sitting on the branches. "Not really.... but hanging aroung Yoh and Anna makes me feel so....." Tamao finished the sentence by shrugging.
Hao jumped off the branch he was sitting. "I know how you feel. Just thinking of watching my brother pucker up and suck face while exchanging spit with the trainer from hell is enough to make me loose my lunch." Hao shivered.
Tamao had a shocked look on her face. "You know what..." Hao turned to face her. "No one has ever described kissing that way before. And after hearing it...makes me a lot more quesy spending time with them." Tamao was looking a little pale.
Hao laughed. So did Tamao.
Tamao sighed. I'm envious, she thought as she watched Anna and Yoh walk home... holding hands while walking. Tamao sighed again.
Hao took a peek at her when he heard the nth sigh escape from Tamao's lips. Argh.... I can't take this anymore!!!! Why is there so much lovesick fools around me!, Hao thought. Taking a deep calming breath then releasing slowly while counting to ten. He did it twice. One for to make him calm. Two to make sure he didn't burn anything within a five kilometer radius if he hears another sigh escape from Tamao's lips.
"You know, if you really want my brother that much you could at least try to catch his attention." Hao said before he hears another sigh escape from Tamao.
"Hmm?!"
"I said... Never mind...."
"What' wrong Hao-san?"
"Nothing is wrong with me. But I think there is something wrong with you."
Tamao gave Hao a blank stare. "What?"
"Aww, come on! You've been like that ever since we started walking home." Hao replied irritably.
"Like what?" Tamao asked innocently.
Like a fool. Like a bloody love sick fool. Like Yoh before he and Anna got together. Hao thought sourly....
"Ne.. Hao-san." Tamao began after a few moments of silence. "Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?"
"Not really, depends on the question you're going to ask." Hao absently replied as watching a birds swoop by.
Tamao's smooth forehead creased. "I was wondering why are you so angry? Well, not exactly angry.... maybe annoyed plus a little angry."
"About what?"
"About people in relationships?"
"I'm not."
"Really?"
"Really."
Tamao opened her mouth only to close it again. She was about to say something else but decided against it. Again.
Hao turned to Tamao. And smiled gently but his eyes held a glint of immense amusement. "No, wait..... are you trying to insinuate that I, The Great Hao, is gay?"
Tamao's head jerked up. "No! I didn't mean it that way! Itsjustthatyouanduhyetyouuhdon'thaveagirlfriendandthatandandandand.." Tamao stammered....
Hao's laughter surrounded them. Tamao turned redder if that was possible....
Hao's laughter faded. His eyes still carried the same merriment it held before. "No Tamao I'm not gay. I just lack the motivation to engaging in a lasting relationship. And the idea of subjecting myself to slavery in the name of a concept that has niether relevance nor bearing to my existence definitely has no place in my life." Hao began to laugh anew. "Besides I'm too busy plotting total world domination."
Tamao sweatdropped. Hao began to walk again, his expression more thoughtful. Come to think of it I haven't started on those plans yet. Did Opacho do what I asked? Have the world leaders reacted to my ultimatum? Hmmm. Hao walked aimlessly as he made a few adjustments here and there to his plans.
They walked in silence again. Tamao daydreaming and Hao plotting.
"How about you? Why don't you have a boyfriend?" Hao asked suddenly out of the blue.
Tamao shrugged. "I don't know. I try to look nice and all but......"
"You do?!" Hao asked increduously.
Inwardly Tamao's face was streaked with tears. She felt like Yoh when taking punishments from Anna. You're mean. You don't even notice. YY
"I mean.... really?" Hao walked ahead of her. "You don't seem to try hard enough. I mean you always seem to wear the same clothes. You don't even wear make up. You're always burried under a ton of books. And you hang out in the most desolate places or hide behind Anna and if that's not enough to scare your suitors away, you don't know how scary Anna can be. You usually stare out into space. Forget that somebody is with you...... You know, stuff...." Hao blabbered on and on as he walked away from where Tamao stood.
Tamao was shocked. So he does see me. You do see me, Tamao thought as her tears fell.
"HAO YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!!" Shouted Anna as she threw a huge book at Hao, which hit Hao directly on the head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Hao shouted back at Anna, who was walking towards Tamao.
Anna blocked Hao's view of Tamao. "Wipe your tears, Tamao." Anna hissed.
"Its okay, Anna-san. I didn't mean to cry." Tamao wiped her tears away.
Anna raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Just don't let him see you like that." She waited for Tamao to gather herself together before motioning Yoh who was beside his brother to drag his brother away.
"Ne.... niisan. Did you really have to say all of that?" Yoh asked as he watched his girlfriend walk away with Tamao.
"Say what?" Hao asked innocently.
"I mean all those things you said before to Tamao-chan. Normally, people wouldn't react to those things you said but....." Yoh frowned at the general direction that his girlfriend took.
"But what?" Hao prodded when his brother seem not to want to continue.
"Let me put it this way... Tamao is the kind of person who takes to heart almost everything she hears from her friends, especially from you." Yoh explained.
"Really? I haven't noticed." Hao replied as he tapped his forefinger on his chin.
"What?"
Tamao-chan isn't the only one who's naive. Oniichan is also naive.... in his own evil-homicidal-demented kind of way. Yoh sweatdropped. He looked at his brother again.
Hao's face was geared towards the two girls his eyes thoughtful and his face unreadable. Then again maybe he's not.
"Yoh, I'm going on ahead." Hao turned just as Anna gestured to Yoh to take his older brother away.
"Yeah, sure we'll catch up with you later." Yoh replied as the gears in his head began turning.
