SM: I'm back. Again, I feel sorry for you for reading this. But if you want to I guess you must be as crazy as I am.
Ren: I don't find that possible.
SM: Aww you're so nice. I might not have Yoh in this chapter, at least not in person. You should also be aware that I have problem with the name Hao, I will use it but I prefer the name Zeke because I watch the dubbed version, stupid English editing. Now on with the ficcy.
At Yoh's house.
Horohoro walked back and forth in his room. What can I do? He continuously asked himself. The laughter of the Sharok was now a background noise in his head. It was going to feed; no it is feeding of off his energy and making its own body using him. When it got its own body it will get Ren and destroy anyone who got in his way.
Horo stopped pacing and walked downstairs. I have to warn Ren. He thought. Horo found Ren in the kitchen; he was sitting at the table staring at the wood. "Ren . . ."
Ren looked up and tilted his head to one side as if asking what Horo wanted. "Ren, I have to tell you something." Horo started, the Sharok screamed at him, it wanted to be closer to Ren. "It is really important." He couldn't do it, he couldn't tell Ren that there was a creature inside of him that was madly in love with Ren, that he had created that creature from his emotions and longing, that it was going to get its own body and try and make Ren its own.
Ren continued to look at Horo getting very agitated with him for being slow about telling him something. "If you have something to say to me just say it." He said sternly.
Horo opened his mouth but no words came out. No, he couldn't do it. He shook his head. "No, don't worry its nothing." He lied.
Ren made an agitated noise. "Then stop wasting my time, Baka." Ren stood up and pushed passed Horo to get out of the kitchen.
Horo just stood there. He hates me. He thought. Horo fell to his knees. Why didn't I tell him? He asked himself. I'm lying to Ren more often then I ever have.
The Sharok laughed again. Horo suddenly felt weaker. The Sharok grabbed this opportunity to push against Horo's mind and as a result Horo screamed out in pain, clutching his head. Ren ran into the room and knelt presides Horo, "Horo, are you okay?" he asked, his voice giving away some worry.
Horo couldn't stand the pain anymore, he fell forward seeing only black. Ren caught Horo before he reached the floor; he then carried Horo to his room.
That afternoon.
Horo slowly opened his eyes; he lifted his hand up to his face and found a wet cloth on his forehead. He looked over next to him and saw Ren sleeping in a chair next to his bed. 'It is time.' The Sharok said.
Horo screamed in pain, waking up Ren. Horo felt something rip away from him. A misty wave hovered in the air and settled on the floor next to the bed. It shimmered upward and took form. For a small amount of time it wavered then became corporeal. There stood a boy of about 17, tall, muscular, shoulder length blond hair, shining red eyes, a nice facial structure. He wore blue trousers, a black top, trainers and a necklace that had an ankh on it. (Sharok can transform into any shape or form they want.)
"Hello Ren." Said the Sharok, its voice now strong and completely different from how it was before. The Sharok gazed at Ren longingly.
Ren took a step back but stopped himself from going back any further. "Who?" He stammered; he was uneasy seeing as a person just came out of his friend. "What are you?"
The Sharok laughed airily. "I am a Sharok. Do you know what that is Ren?" Ren gave a short nod. "I was made out of Horohoro's." Ren looked at Horo who was lying on the bed on his side watching the Sharok carefully, Horo was panting for breath. "As to whom I am. I can be anything I want and anyone I choose to be." The Sharok stopped and thought for a while. "You can call me Shark."
Ren looked at the creature before him. "What do you want?" He sneered.
The Sharok took a step foreword. "I want you." the Sharok said simply. "And I always get what I want."
"Leave him alone!" Horo yelled, or panted, from the bed.
Shark turned towards him, he walked over and slapped him on the face. "You should learn to be silent." He then faced Ren only to have a very sharp Quand Do in his face.
Ren glared at Shark. "Don't hurt my friend."
Shark raised a questioning eyebrow at the short shaman. "Do you really think that you can hurt me?" The Quand Do made a slashing movement but hit nothing but air. He was then thrown to the floor by a very strong Sharok landing face forward on the floor. "I told you. I cannot be hurt by anyone." Ren tried to get up but Shark sat on his back and pulled Ren's arm behind him, Ren felt like screaming in pain. "I don't want to hurt you." Shark whispered into Ren's ear.
Then the phone rang. Shark lifted his head up; he got of off Ren still holding his arm behind his back, pulling Ren with him. "Lets go see who's phoning you." then he teleported himself and his prisoner downstairs just as the answering machine activated. The message went as follows;
Hi it's Yoh. I just wanted to tell you that I reached my grandparents house. I hope the two of you are alright. And Horo I know that you were the one who phoned them, I am not angry just disappointed. If you are both listening, Ren can you send Horo away I want to say something to you.
Silence for a short time.
Ren, I will still love you no matter what. I just want you to know that. I have to marry Anna but I don't love her, I love you. That kiss changed me, and I think it changed you too. Anyway. . .
What Yoh was going to say next would never be known because Shark pressed the receive button and put it on speakerphone placing a hand over Ren's mouth, "Ren is mine." He growled.
Who is this? Yoh asked over the phone. "I am Shark the Sharok." Shark answered.
Ren tried to kick Shark of him but it didn't work. "Stop that Ren, I already told you that you can't hurt me." Shark hissed angrily.
REN! Yoh yelled. Are you alright!
Shark laughed. "He will be fine. But I am unsure what to do with you." Ren thrashed out with his loos arm. "Stop it!" Shark sneered, letting go of Ren's mouth so he could hold his other arm, Ren took this opportunity to yell to Yoh.
"Don't worry about me! Yoh whatever you do don't come here!" Then Ren was silenced by a hard fit to the back.
REN! Yoh yelled over the phone.
Shark pulled Ren back to his former position, he arm behind his back. Shark held Ren's wrist in a firm grasp, Ren tried to move again but Shark tightened his hand. Ren felt pain surge threw his arm and a small whimper escaped his mouth as the pain in his wrist increased, he thought his wrist was going to brake however Shark held it just enough to cause pain but not inflict any permanent damage.
"Yoh come here if you ever want to see Ren again." They could hear Yoh growling on the other side of the phone, it wasn't something Yoh would usually do so Ren could tell that he was really angry because it was more of the type of thing that Hao would do. "Come as soon as possible. Within two days or Ren might not remember you, he will be under my control."
Fine! Yoh yelled. But if you harm him, you will regret for the short time you will be left on the planet. Yoh threatened then Shark hung up on him.
Ren found himself slammed up against the wall, his face against the cold wood. Shark now held both of Ren's arms at his sides. "I don't like having competition, so Yoh will go and then Horohoro. But I think I'll torture them first. I'm not sure, what do you think love?"
Ren tensed. "Leave me and my friends alone." He hissed, trying not to give way to fear for his friends' safety. I am acting weak, he told himself, Tao Ren is not weak. Stop acting weak!
Shark picked up on Ren's thoughts. "I don't think you're weak." He whispered gently. "I intend to break you into submission though."
The smell of smoke reached both of them. Shark let go of Ren and went to figure out what was going on. Ren turned around and took a deep breath; he knew whatever was going on could only make his week worse. He stood there for a few minutes then decided to see what was happening. He followed the stench of burning and it resulted in him walking into the living room where he found very strange argument going on.
Hao was standing next to a burned set of pictures which used to hold pictures of the gang together, Shark was glaring at him. "I don't care if you are a Sharok, I have come for him." Hao said coolly to a very agitated Shark.
Shark raised a fist at the Shaman, "I have got rightful claim on him!" He shouted.
"Actually I think you would find that my other half has that claim but I will willingly take that liberty from him since we are brothers."
"Why has he that?"
Hao grinned his weird grin that means 'you are stupid and I know everything, so ha ha.' and watched the Sharok carefully. "My Otouto met him first and so he has prier claim to him. And since Yoh is my little brother I can take anything of his I want."
"That is stupid logic." The Sharok retorted. "And I was here first."
Hao looked at Shark carefully. "I was alive before your creator was, so I think you'll find that I was here first."
Ren watched them as if they had both grown several more heads, what were they going on about. Finally Hao noticed him and teleported in front of him. "Hello Ren."
"What do you want Hao?" Ren said tiredly, "And why aren't you dead?"
Hao waved the second question aside. "I have come to see you. I know my stupid Otouto has told you of his love but I thought I should warn you that he would never be able to do anything for you because he is weakling. However I will do anything you want."
"What are you talking about Hao?" Ren watched Shark twitch and felt a rush of satisfaction.
Hao moved closer to Ren. "I love you." He said confidently. Ren smacked him. What is it with people saying they love me? Ren thought. That makes 3 in one week, or is it 4? Shall I count Shark as one? He started contemplating.
Shark practically bounced over to them. "I told you that Ren was mine." He scolded wisely. Hao didn't even look hurt but instead turned around and punched Shark with a fire fist. Ren sighed and walked out of the room.
He went up the stairs and into Horo's room. Horo was still lying weirdly and panting on the bed, "Hao is here." Ren told him upon entry.
Horo looked at Ren sideways. "Oh." Was all he said.
Ren walked over to a bowl of water that he had placed there earlier and took the cloth he had placed on Horo's head. He put the cloth in the water and then wringed it out so it was once again damp. "Lay on the bed properly." He ordered Horo, and Horo did as he was told. Ren then walked over to Horo and placed the cloth back on his friends head. "Hao told me that he loved me."
Horo laughed but then regretted it once a pain filled his head. "What do you think about it?" Ren shrugged. "Oh." He said again.
With me.
SM: I think that is a good place to stop the chapter. Don't you agree? I could have done a cliffy easily but I think it is partly one.
Will Yoh be able to get to Ren?
Will Shark and Hao turn the house into a war zone?
Find out next chapter.
Ren: You are such a baka.
SM: Whatever. Please review, more reviews means a happy SaturnMax which means better chapters which means happy readers.
Ren: Baka.
SM: Stop saying that. I will do one-shot requests, and presents to nice readers that Review! Ask for a couple and I will do it if requested nicely. But you will have to review to ask. Hahahaha!
