Chapter 5:
Yoh's favorite pastime is sleeping. Everyone who knows him should know that. Ever since the Shaman tournament, he couldn't get much sleep. Not with Anna training him. Hao doesn't have a favorite pastime, except maybe making his twin's life difficult.
"Hey, Yoh! What are you doing up there?"
Yoh was perched up a tree. He was looking extremely comfortable.
"Nothing."
Hao could sense his twin was lying. He climbed up or in his case 'soared up' leaping from branch to branch and much to Yoh displeasure.
"Hao! What are you doing? Get down before you hurt yourself."
"Hurt myself? Now, there's laugh…little brother."
Yoh blushed. Hao settled himself on a branch by his brother. He then noticed it was looking over the school wall and inside was…the girl's gym class.
"Why you little sneak…Anna won't like it when she finds out you're spying on her again... I must say though, your fiancée is gifted with very nice legs. You've got good taste, little brother. "
"Eyes off her legs, Hao!''
Hao laughed. Enjoying his brother's jealousy. He couldn't help feeling jealous himself. He had a thing for strong women and Anna by far was the strongest and bravest girl he has ever encountered.
Yoh stared at his brother. Though he spared his life, he was having trouble believing his brother had changed. Not with the way he looks at Anna…
Hao shook his head to clear it and fixed his eyes back to class. He was familiar with a few of the girls already.
Unfortunately for most of the male population, the best girls are already taken. These are the girls already belonging to the Shamans.
Tamao is the ever so sweet, pretty, pink-haired girl and the best cook in school. She for instance is off limits because she's dating HoroHoro. Every guy in school left her alone after her boyfriend beat up a quarterback. He stayed in the hospital for a week and was out of commission for the rest of the season.
Anna, every guy's dream or nightmare depending on how you look at her. She is seductively mysterious and drop-dead gorgeous…literally. The last guy who tried to touch her was a very dumb volleyball varsity captain. He tried to steal a kiss from her and received a very big slap from her and a VERY thorough beating from Yoh. Guys kept their distance ever since.
The most recent addition to this was Pirika, the bubbly cheerleader. Ren made sure no male could touch her with a ten-foot pole without his permission but taking out a whole basketball team was warning enough.
"Yoh, isn't that Tao crossing the field?"
"Hey, yeah it is but what is he doing there?"
"It looks like he's going to Pirika…"
"I'm going to take a closer look…" Yoh said as he crawled closer. "They look like their arguing about something."
"What could it be?"
Suddenly, Yoh's branch snapped. "Uh, oh…Ahh!" he gave a shout before falling to the ground.
"Bro, we're in trouble."
"Why?"
"Because Anna sees us now…"
Anna had picked up a stone from the ground and threw. Her aim was true. She got Hao right in the middle of his forehead. Hao lost his balance and…
"Ahhh! Uff! Thanks for breaking my fall, bro."
…Right unto Yoh…
"(Groan) No problem…but don't expect me to do it again…"
