Chapter 7: High Spirits And Hyperness

Hao walked lazily down the stairs to the cellar. "I've been down here way to many times…" he mumbled to himself. It was eight in the morning, which meant Yoh would be getting up, along with many others right about now. "It's a good thing I left him that note…" he said out loud. "I just have to know if the sack is down here… maybe Yoh's right… maybe I am making a big deal out of nothing…" Hao hung his head and moaned. "I want my only-shaman world!-Huh?" Hao's eyes lit up as he saw the sack before him. "Yes!"

A/N: You know that cheer people make when their football team has scored a goal, and they cheer because one of them had the potential to kick the ball into the net…? Well the 'yes' Hao made was a lot like that… o.o

"…Ren…?" he asked pathetically, nearing the sack. "…Oh, wonder what your body looks like after it's been stabbed twenty-odd times…" The Asakura quickly opened the sack and, for the first time in like, forever, got to see what was inside it.

Hao collapsed on his knees, looking to the ceiling and glaring at it. "Why God, why?" he asked, "Why do you keep doing this too me?" He sighed and looked again at all the clothes that were in there. Some looked brand-new, some looked old, but Hao hated it when he saw the label on the inside of the bag saying 'charity'.

"Having fun?" asked a voice from behind.

Hao spun round and saw Yoh lent against the wall. "Yoh, you scared the shit out of me!" he snarled.

Yoh just laughed and approached him, wrapping his arms around him. "I know."

"Look," said Hao, pointing his head towards the sack full of clothes, "Charity…"

Yoh let out a relieved sigh and looked at Hao's disappointed expression. "Aww, you really wanted it to be Ren, didn't you."

Hao nodded slowly. "It's so fuckin disappointing."

"…Well, I'm not going to be happy until you're happy, and I know how to make you happy." Yoh smirked and playfully pushed Hao against the wall, then started to trail kisses down his neck. "You know," said Yoh in a low whisper, "This works a lot better when you're naked…"

Hao chuckled and removed his poncho, followed by his trousers and other clothing. "You're so damn sexy when you whisper like that…" said Hao, "…and just what are you planning to do anyway?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Whispered the younger Asakura, and continued to kiss Hao's neck, eventually moving down his body until he was where he wanted to be.

Hao let out a soft, pleasurable moan as Yoh ran his tongue along his member; then put it into his mouth. "Yoh… please…" he begged as Yoh ceased the moving of the tongue, "…Don't torment me…"

Yoh complied with his brothers' request and began to suck whilst running the tip of his fingers along Hao's abdomen.

Hao shivered once more and let out another moan. "Yoh…" he said, sounding pleased, "…Yoh, this feels so good…"

Hao felt himself about to release, when he noticed a figure sat on the stairs, watching them.

Hao immediately pulled himself out of Yoh's mouth, turning his back to both Yoh and the figure, releasing all over the floor.

"Hao, what's wrong?" asked Yoh, feeling offended.

"What's wrong?" he asked, "There's someone watching us, that's what's wrong!" he yelled, and quickly gathered his clothes and began to get changed.

Yoh turned to see a figure sat on the stairs. "…Hello…?" he called, still not able to see who it was. Yoh sighed as he saw their face. "Ricky, do you get pleasure from watching me give Hao a blow job, or are you here for a reason?"

"Pleasure." He replied, "Why'd you stop anyway? I wanted to see where that was going."

Ricky cried out in pain as one of Hao's shoes collided with his head. "You bastard! I was happy! Why'd you have to spoil it!"

The teen rubbed his head harshly, "Hao, did anyone ever tell you your shoes are like lego blocks…?"

"…Quite frequently actually…" sighed Hao, "But still, why, for Pete's sake why, would you be sat their, watching your two friends have sexual contact! Something tells me the toilet and shower incident was no 'incident!'" hissed Hao.

"…Well… actually…" Ricky began to laugh nervously, "I was kinda wondering what gay people do in their spare time, so I followed Yoh down here because I knew for a fact that this is were you'd be…"

"SICK BASTARD!" yelled Hao.

"Hey, you two should be thanking me!"

"How so?"

"If it wasn't for me, Craig Johnson and Nathan Orrington would have walked down here, then what would you have done, huh?"

Both Hao and Yoh sighed. "Yooh…" whined Hao, "Can I have my only-shaman world now?"

Yoh smiled and took Hao by the hand, walking up the stairs. "Believe me," he said, "If I didn't care so much about the human-race, I'd say go for it."

--

"So, there were only clothes in the sack?" asked Andy, also disappointed.

"Yeah, but Hao's happy anyway, Yoh gave him a- augh, the pain!" Ricky crouched down on the floor and glared up at Hao who had just jabbed him rather hard in the stomach. "Hao got his- augh! Fuckin bastard- cock out to Yoh- augh! Ok, I'm done… no morepai-augh!"

"…Hao… you can stop kicking him now…" said Andy quietly.

"Yeah, you're gonna cripple the poor ass-wipe if you carry on this way" agreed Lee.

Ricky grabbed Hao's foot and twisted it, sending Hao to the floor. "Ha, haaa! You fuckin psychopath!" said Ricky proudly, yet regretted it when Hao rose to his feet also, and rammed Ricky into the wall, squashing him. "Can't breath, can't breath!"

"And your point is…?" asked Hao.

"The point is I can't fuckin breath! What are you, thick!"

"Hey, shouldn't you kids be in class?" asked a teacher sternly.

Hao stopped crushing Ricky and let him drop to the floor. "Umm… well… you see…"

"Yes?"

"I was getting bullied Sir." Said Ricky, glaring at Hao with a smirk.

"Bullied? By who?"

"By Hao, Sir. He wouldn't let me pass."

"What! Ricky you asshole! Stop lying!"

"Ah-he-hem!" said the teacher, "Hao, I am appalled by your language."

"But… But… RICKY WAS TRYING TO RAPE MY BROTHER! SO YOU SEE, SIR, I HAD TO STEP IN! HE HAD HIM BACKED UP AGAINST THE WALL N'EVERYTHING!"

The teacher just sighed. "Look, I'm getting to old for your little games, so go to class and I will forget I ever met either of you, understand?"

They both nodded and walked off to class after realizing Yoh, Andy and Lee had fled when they saw the teacher coming.

"Traitors." Muttered Ricky.

"Ditto." Agreed Hao, and they entered the classroom.

--

'I do wish Ricky hadn't watched us…' said the note Hao passed to Yoh.

'I know, I could tell you were enjoying it.' Replied Yoh.

'We should continue you know, it's only fair.'

'Yes, but the moment is gone, so no. Blame Ricky.'

'I will, I'll mug him later.'

'You do that Hao.'

'K.'

'Ass-hole'.

'That was Ricky, he took the note off me.'

'Ricky you ass.'

'L'

'Fuck you bitch!'

'Ricky, at least let me finish my sentence! Love you Hao.'

'Anno, love you too.'

':)'

'Awww, get a room… or a cellar…'

'Ricky, go away.'

'Yes Ricky, find a horse and screw it.'

'I can't, but I'd settle for you any day Hao.'

'Hao's mine!'

'Sorry, I'm with Yoh. Screw Horo, he looks lonely.'

'Poor Horo.'

'Hey!'

'I meant poor as in I feel sorry for him because Ren is gone.'

'See, not everything is about sex you know.'

'Hao, I had to tell you that every night before we went to sleep for a month.'

'Yeah Hao, you rabbit!'

'Ricky, go fuck a horse.'

'Wow, go Yoh!'

"Either put the note away or I will read it out."

Hao passed it to Yoh, who passed it to Ricky, who grinned and passed it to the teacher. "Read it out."

"RICKY!" yelled both Hao and Yoh in disbelief.

All three sat there as the teacher red the note aloud, making sickening faces and tutting most of the way through it.

Yoh looked across the room at Horo, who glared across at all three of them. "I can cope just fine without Ren you know." He said coldly.

"…Sorry Horo…" apologized Yoh sincerely, beginning to feel guilty.

"Hey, Horo you ass, quit making Yoh all depressed!"

"Fuck off Hao." Hissed the Ainu. "I've had enough shit from you for one day."

"…But… I didn't do anything to you today… at least I don't think I did…"

"Just fuck off."

"Right, Yoh, Hao and Ricky will be staying for a detention, along with Horo for his choice of words. Anyone else want to join them?"

Andy and Lee exchanged glances before raising their hands and saying they do.

"Very well, your fate is sealed."

"MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!" laughed Ricky. "…Sorry, couldn't resist…"

--

The teacher paced around, staring at them individually whilst he spoke. "Your detention will last for half an hour, and half an hour exactly. Afterwards, you will be sent back to your rooms where you will continue your daily so-called life. If there is anyone who wishes to prat about and make their detention an hour," he said whilst glancing from Hao to Ricky, "then they may do so, but keep in mind the consequences. I believe you all know of my camera I had installed in here after your first detention with me."

A/N: They had him in the first one and got a detention… and pissed about as usual…

"Dude, that was one of the best detentions ever!" said Ricky excitedly.

"…Well Ricky, if you enjoyed it that much, good for you." He said, before leaving the room.

Five minutes of silence had passed, when Hao decided to sit next to Yoh. "Hello." He smiled.

"Hi." Said Ricky, replying, even though Hao knew he was talking to Yoh.

"Fuck off Ricky; I was talking to my Yoh."

"And I was talking to my doormat."

"What the fuck you talking about, I'm no doormat- Yoh, am I a doormat?"

"No," said Yoh carelessly, "You're not a doormat."

"See, I'm not a doormat." Said Hao, and shoved Ricky's shoulder.

"Oh, you wonna piece of me?" asked Ricky, shoving Hao back, "Well bring it on, bitch."

"Please," mumbled Andy, "You're embarrassing."

"No, I wonna see what Hao has." Said Ricky challengingly.

"Well come on then." Said Hao, and the two moved to the front of the room, preparing themselves for a fight.

Andy, Lee and Yoh stood there, watching, waiting for someone to make the first move, the suspense killing them.

"...See, told you they'd just sit back and watch." Said Ricky, relaxing his arms.

"Yeah, I thought they would." Said Hao, and the two walked back to their seats.

"W-W-What? No fighting!" asked a disappointed Andy.

"As if we would." Sighed Hao.

"Yeah, were too good a friend to fight…"

"..Hey…" said Lee, sitting next to Horo, "You ok?" Horo remained silent as everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on him. Lee looked around. "Hey will ya stop staring, ya freakin him out!"

"…I need to be alone…" muttered Horo, and got up to leave the room.

"No, wait, you'll get an hours-" Lee grabbed Horo's arm and quickly let go. "…Horo…?" he asked, staring wide-eyes at the name 'Ren' that had been harshly carved into his arm. "…Why…? Why would you do this to yourself…?"

"Because Ren's gone…" Horo's tone turned from quiet and soft, to harsh and nasty; "He's gone and he's never coming back-" The Ainu staggered back as Lee's fist collided with his cheek.

"…If you truly believe he's gone, that he abandoned you… then you don't know who Ren is." Lee kindly held out a hand for Horo to grab, which he did, and pulled himself up. "…Sorry for the punch by the way," he apologized as he watched Horo rub his cheek, "but you really needed it."

"…I know…" he said, "I understand, and thanks… I was beginning to feel as if Ren had deserted me, but you reminded me that he's not the type of person who flees after an argument."

"Yeah, he's the type of person that starts it." laughed Andy.

Horo chuckled a little. 'They're right. Ren isn't the type of person who would leave me. Fact is, I'm afraid to be alone… only I'm not alone. As long as I hold my head up high, and have my friends by my side, its impossible to be alone. Ren will come back to me, I know he will.'

"In honour of Horo's old self returning… have a pencil." Grinned Hao, and flung one across the room at Lee.

Lee picked up a ruler from Horo's desk and batted it across the room, laughing as it hit Andy in the back of the head.

"Uhh… Andy, what ya doin…?" asked Ricky and Hao curiously, walking up to the young teen who was sat next to a plant pot, fiddling around with something.

"Making sure we have a little privacy." He replied, and showed the two the now snipped wires that led to a now switched off camera.

"Cool." Grinned Ricky.

"Oh, Yoh, lets play a game!" said Hao, jumping over a chair and running up to Yoh, tugging on his sleeve.

"…"

"Come on Yoh, they can play too!"

"Cool, what game is it?" asked Ricky.

"Truth or dare!"

"Yes, I love this game!" cried Ricky happily.

Both Yoh and Horo sighed. "I hate this game."

"What? Why?" asked Hao.

"Why? Why? Because everyone gets totally out of control, that's why. Dares become rude and disgusting, and if you choose truth to avoid it, you end up stripping to actually prove you're a male!" said Yoh.

"Ok, we'll play it in a different way." Said Hao.

"A different way…?" asked Horo, wondering what Hao had in mind.

"Yeah, we all right dares and some of them will have a gap in them. Like for example, kiss ------ on the lips, and there will be a pile of paper with all out names on. Sound fair?"

"…Whatever…" mumbled Horo and Yoh.

--

"Ok, now that everything's set up, let us begin! It goes me, Yoh, Ricky, Andy, Horo then Lee, k?"

"K." replied everyone.

Hao put his hand into a small box which they put all the dares in and rummaged round, before pulling out a dare and reading it aloud.

"Strip in a sexy way."

"Well, what are you waiting for?" grinned Yoh. Hao knew for a fact it was Yoh's dare, and that he'd hoped Hao would get it. He had requested him to strip in a sexy way many times before, yet for some reason Hao had refused.

"Fine, you win." Said Hao, and rose to his feet.

"Dude, do we actually have to watch this…?" asked Horo.

"Dunno bout you, but I'm only watching till he gets down to his undies." Said Andy, and watched as the amusement began.

First, Hao removed his poncho, pulling it over his head and swinging it around, before flinging it at Ricky. Yoh laughed as he did a sexy dance, even though there wasn't any music, and grinned as Hao started to dance around him, shaking his ass in front of his face.

"I think I'm gonna be sick…" muttered Lee.

Hao then pulled his pants down, and eventually removed them. He grabbed the bottom of the trousers legs and swung the crotch part around Yoh's neck, pulling him towards him and kissing him heatedly. Yoh grinned into the kiss and started to remove Hao's undies.

"Look away people, it's about to get real gay in here!" warned Ricky, and turned his back on the two, along with Horo, Andy and Lee.

Yoh pulled his brothers undies down to his ankles and Hao stepped out of them. The eldest of the two broke the kiss. "Oh Ricky…" he sang, "Watch out!" he yelled, and gagged him with his undies.

Hao laughed his head off as Ricky squirmed, trying to remove the wretched undies from hell of his face, yet at the same time trying not to breath.

"Let him go Hao…" sighed Horo, watching as Hao let Ricky drop to the floor, then removed his undies, putting them back on.

"Ew." Said Andy in disgust, "Mank!"

After a few minutes, Hao was once again fully clothed. "Now, Yoh's turn to pick out a dare… or truth… whatever…"

Yoh placed his hand in the box and removed a slip of paper. "…Give a French kiss, and make it look good." Yoh sighed. It was a good thing they all agreed to go through with every truth or dare they had. Yoh rummaged through the box, everyone apart from Hao, hoping it wasn't them. "…Ricky!" moaned Yoh, sticking out his tongue to show that the thought was sickening.

"Duude, no waaay!" Ricky cried pathetically.

"Ricky, we all agreed to go through with every truth or dare we got, now be a man and let Yoh kiss you." Said Andy, pushing Ricky towards Yoh.

"Take it this was your fuckin dare." Hissed Ricky. Andy only grinned to confirm it.

Ricky hesitated as Yoh crawled up to him, "…Boo!" he said mockingly.

"Har, har, very fu-"

Ricky was taken by surprise as Yoh forced their lips together, and grabbed a hand-full of his hair to hold his head still, stopping him from moving away. Ricky's heart started to pound as Yoh slid his tongue into his mouth, gently massaging his tongue. Everyone howled with laughter as Ricky let out a soft, pleasurable moan, relaxing slightly. After lacking oxygen, Yoh parted with him. "There, wasn't so bad now, was it?" asked Yoh.

"And Hao gets that every day!"

"Well, Yoh does learn from the best." Said Hao.

"True, I did actually learn from him." Confessed Yoh.

"Ok," said Ricky, sticking his hand into the box, "…and my dare is… make pleasurable moans to… Horo… ok, I can live with that." He shrugged, noticing it wasn't as bad as the other dares.

Horo hung his head and sighed. "Why me?" he asked as Ricky began to moan.

"Oh Horo…" he began quietly, yet started to get louder. "Oh Horo! Yes! Yes Horo! Oh God, yes! Your so fuckin sexy, Horo! Horo! Oh-"

"Can you stop that please?" asked the Ainu, tolerating the torture all he could.

"Ok." Said Ricky, feeling the awkwardness of it all. "Oh Andy…" sang Ricky, "Your turn."

"Well if I must…" he said, and pulled out a dare from the box, then a name. "Ok… I have to… touch Lee's dick…" Andy sat there, reading the words over and over again. "…WHAT THE FUCK! NO WAY AM I TOUCHING SOMEONES DICK!"

"…If it helps you can close your eyes…" suggested Yoh.

"Besides, if you don't do it, you'll be recognized as a puff." Grinned Hao.

"But if I do I'll be recognized as pure fuckin gay!"

"No one's gonna know ya know. What happens in this room is never to leave here… right Hao?" said Horo, glaring at the Asakura.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He said carelessly.

Andy cringed at the sickening thought. "…F-Fine!" he said disgustedly, "But we have to do it in the corner over there, away from everyone else!"

"Fair enough." Shrugged Yoh, "Lee, tell us if he chickens out, k?"

"Ok." He replied, before dragging Andy off into one of the four corners of the room.

Andy clamped his eyes shut as he listened to Lee unzipping his pants. 'This is so… Yuk!' he thought miserably, and stretched out his hand until he came into contact with something, then jerked it away.

"Uhhh, dude, that was my trousers…" said Lee flatly. "Stretch out again." Andy did so and followed Lee's instructions. "Go to the left a little, forward, forward, right a little- stop… now forwards… dude, go forwards and its there…"

"How can you be ok with this!" he asked, still having his eyes shut. "Doesn't it bother you!"

"No, not really… look, I'll make it easier…"

"Huh-" Andy jerked back and his eyes shot open as something entered his mouth. "YOU BASTARD!" he yelled, removing the sausage from his mouth and chucking it at Lee- who was- like everyone else- laughing hysterically. "I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR- YOUR- OH I CANT EVEN SAY IT!"

"You are so thick!" he laughed, "As if I would let you touch my dick, you'd probably infect it or something! Besides, I didn't even get it out; I only unzipped my pants then zipped them back up. As if I could actually reach my dick up that high anyway, I'd have to be stood on a chair, or you'd have to be sat down!"

"In case your wondering, on the slip of paper, the dare was that you had to make someone believe they were either touching your dick, or doing something else with it. You weren't allowed to read that part out though." Laughed Horo.

"Take it that was your dare then." Said Ricky, high-fiving the Ainu.

"Yup, didn't expect that did ya."

"…Sick fuck…" mumbled Andy, and sat back in the group, along with Lee.

"Ok… I have too… what!" asked Horo, reading his dare. "Why is it always dares anyway? Isn't the game called truth or dare? Not dare!"

"…So your being a puff and backing out…?" asked Hao.

Horo sighed, "No…" and passed red the dare out. "Stand naked whilst people whip you with clothing and shit."

Everyone stared at Ricky. "You are so a gay boy." Said Hao.

"I'm not fuckin gay! I'm straight! Really!"

"Yeah, whatever gay boy…" said Horo, and began to remove his clothing. "…Must I really expose myself to you guys…?" he asked when he had removed all clothing but his boxers.

"…No…" said Yoh, "You can keep them on."

"But Yoh, being naked is part of the dare!" said Hao, hoping his brother would understand.

"I know, but in Horo's case, you can make an exception… right…?" asked Yoh pleadingly, planting a kiss on Hao's cheek.

"…Ok…" agreed Hao, and kissed Yoh aggressively.

"Dudes, please!" begged Ricky, "That's gonna lead some place I don't want it too!"

The twins parted and Hao chuckled. "Sorry Ricky, wasn't turning you on was it?"

"Hell no!"

Horo sighed. "Can we get this over with?" he asked, embarrassed and uncomfortable about the whole situation.

"Ok." Said Ricky, and grabbed Horo's shirt, twirling it up and making it tight, then whipping it at Horo's leg. "…Didn't hurt…" he said bravely. Ricky did it again on his thy. "Didn't hurt." Ricky grinned evilly and whipped his crotch, making his hands instantly cover it as he staggered back slightly. "…Asshole…" he said as it stopped stinging.

Hao took the t-shirt off Ricky and whipped Horo's stomach, then nipple, then ear. "You fuckin twat; that hurt!" he said, putting his hands over his nipples.

"Can we- ow- stop this n-ow- now?" he asked, using his arms to try and cover his body whilst they whipped him with his clothing.

"Fine." Said Hao, and whipped him one last time before throwing him his t-shirt.

Horo quickly got dressed, and finally, it was down to the last dare. Lee pulled out the last remaining piece of paper. "Pretend to have sex with a chair…? …Ok…" he said, determined to keep his cool.

Lee held a chair close to his body, then positioned himself and the chair so that he was comfy, and finally, began to rock, making moans and murmurs of pleasure.

"First time I've seen a guy do it with their pants on." Said Hao.

Lee dropped the chair. "No fuckin way."

"I know, just teasing." He laughed.

Lee sighed and continued his dare, closing his eyes and moaning. "Oh, yeah baby, come on, that's right… oh yeah, you know how daddy likes it… ohhh-"

Lee dropped the chair immediately as he saw the horrified teacher stood watching him. He looked around to see everyone back in their usual seats, all trying hard not to burst out laughing.

"What in heavens name is going on Lee!" asked the teacher, his voice having a lot of concern in it.

"Well, I, uh, I, uh, I… uh… I…?"

"He's been acting really weird lately," said Hao, "Lee is… well he's been flirting round me lately and I guess I just thought he was lonely, but never did I imagine he would try and fuck a chair…"

Lee glared at Hao. "What? You told me to do this! We were playing truth or dare!" he insisted.

"…Uhh, Lee… we were simply discussing what we have done wrong to deserve this detention…" said Andy. "Not once did we say 'Lee, go fuck a chair'."

"B-B-B… Horo! You tell him! Tell Sir that we were playing dares!" he said despiratly.

"…Did you fall asleep or something and imagine we were playing truth or dare…?" asked Horo blankly, "Lee, are you feeling ok…? You look a little pale."

"Ok, the rest of you can go," said the teacher, "Lee, I would like a word with you…"

"Aw come on! This is so unfair guys!" he said in disbelief as they all walked past him. "Guys!"

"If it helps, I found these in his pocket…" said Hao, and gave the teacher a small box labelled: Viagra.

"Oh my God Hao! Were the fuck did you get that!" he asked, amazed that Hao had such a thing. Lee turned to the teacher and looked at him pleadingly. "Please don't tell me you actually believe this shit?"

"…Well, I do have proof, and I only ever look towards the facts… and the facts are you were doing something to that chair…"

"Ok, ok. So let's just say I was; what would the punishment be…?"

"Well that all depends on whether you fess up or not doesn't it."

Lee sighed. "Ok, fine. I was raping the chair… but that was only because… I get lonely and… and I'm still a virgin man! Do you know how painful it is, knowing you've be never done it before! I would use my Barbie's, but their legs broke and they are of no use to me now… please Sir… don't tell anyone… please!" he begged pathetically.

"Uh… Lee, you're a young man," he replied, placing a hand on his shoulder, "I believe that when the time is right, you shall loose your virginity… until then, do try to keep yourself under control…" he advised.

"…So can I go…?" The teacher nodded and Lee sped off down the corridors, but before he could reach his room, he ran past the boys toilets, only to slip and smack his head on the wet floor. "What the fuck…?" he asked, holding his head.

Lee curiously entered the boys toilets, only to be walking in a large puddle that had formed on the floor. He looked around and the taps were running on full blast, and, due to the overflowing sink, he could tell the sink was blocked with toilet roll.

Lee jumped as a hand was placed on his shoulder. "Lee Hyson" said a stern voice, "My my, this isn't like you… oh well, it's a detention for you." Said the voice, and, after the teacher had turned the taps off and unblocked the sink, they dragged Lee to their room for a detention.

--

"Hey Ricky, were you been?" asked Hao as Ricky came walking up to them.

"Oh, got bored so I flooded the toilets…" he answered casually. "Oh." Came Hao's reply.

Everyone was stood outside Horo's room (minus Lee). "…I didn't know when I should show you this… but I guess now's a good time..." Yoh said sadly, and handed Horo the paper. "It came out yesterday, I found it on a teachers desk and thought you should see it."

Horo's eyes quickly became teary, and he uttered the word 'thanks', before dropping the paper on the floor and disappearing into his room, closing the door shut behind him.

Everyone looked down at the front page. "Wow," said Andy, "That's a tough thing to accept…" he said, staring down at the paper. For on the front page was a picture of Ren, and above that picture, printed in black ink, was the words 'Young Teen Missing'.

"It's a good thing he didn't read the bottom…" said Yoh, and stared down at the words 'presumed dead.'

Unicorn13564: Yay, I got to update before Wednesday! XD Oh joy! Oh, poor Ren… v.v Poor Horo too… and poor Lee… REVIEW!
