Plan Confession 3: In the Tree. (I know, terrible title)
Horo's POV-
Horo walked outside, munching his yummy apple, heading toward the tree in the yard. (A/N: There is a tree in the yard, right. At Yoh's house, which is where they are, well, anyway, in my fic, there is a tree in the yard.) Horo grabbed one of the lower branches and pulled himself up with his free hand. That branch was the only way up or down, all the others were so high that you could barley get to them from the branch Horo was standing on, but if anything were to happen to that branch, no one would be able to get up or down (A/N: snigger) Horo continued to pull himself up the tree, 'till he was sitting on the topmost branches of the tree, well, as high as he could get without the branches breaking. He continued to eat his apple, when only the core was left he dropped it on to the ground, but instead of hearing a soft 'thump' of apple hitting grass, he heard a 'THUNK' followed by a "What the Hell?" From someone who had apparently been hit in the head with Horo's apple core. (A/N: 2 guesses to who it is.) Horo looked down. Ren was rubbing his head where the apple had hit it, squashing his spike-thing. Horo laughed, Ren looked up and glared at him accusingly. "I should have known. Do you always drop apple cores on innocent people?" Horo snorted, Ren? Innocent? Not!
"Nope, just you,' He said "You're special." He stopped in horror at what he had just said, but if Ren noticed, he gave no sign of it, in fact, he was climbing the tree. Before Horo had quite realized what was happening, Ren was sitting next to him on the branch. He looked at Ren quizzically, but the Chinese Shaman remained quiet. They sat there for a few minutes in a less-than-comfortable silence. Horo stared out at the sky, watching the sun sink lower. He could feel Ren next to him, a hairs width away. He glanced at the other shaman and stifled a gasp. The almost-sunset was creating a golden halo around him, giving Ren a glowing, unreal beauty. HoroHoro was so in awe of this, this, this godlike being in front of him that he almost fell off his branch. Ren laughed as Horo tried to grab the branch beneath him to stop himself falling out of the tree, this wasn't his usual sinister laugh, this was a laugh of pure humor, well, kinda, this is Tao Ren we're talking about. Needless to say, this did not help Horo regain his balance, seeing as how Ren's laughter was shaking the branch. When it looked like Horo was about to fall to his pain (A/N: What?) Ren finally realized that he was not just kidding and stopped laughing. He quickly grabbed Horos hand and pulled him back up. In the semi-silence that followed the heard a loud 'CRACK' and both looked down. The branch that was the only way up or down had broken. Leaving them both stuck in a tree, together. They were both so horrified/thrilled at being stuck in said tree that they never wondered how a branch on the bottom had broken, with no apparent reason. They looked at each other, than back at the branch, than they both started yelling for someone to come get them. This was completely pointless, seeing as how they had the house to themselves for the day. They both stopped yelling at about the same time. Ren was about to start yelling at Horo for no better than that Ren was mad. But Horo held up a hand, saying "It looks like we'll be staying in this tree for a while, so I think it would be best if we didn't fight, hm?" Ren looked surprised and shut up. "Good boy" Horo said. If looks could kill Horo would be so dead that his sprit would be unconscious for years. "Kidding, kidding." Said Horo hastily, fearing for his life. Ren glared at him for a few more seconds, than relaxed. Horo smiled at him.
"So how are we going to get out of this accursed (A/N: I love that word) tree?" Ren demanded
"Dunno," Horo shrugged "But since no ones around we could just sit here until someone comes back."
"That's a stupid idea."
"Do you have a better one?"
"…No."
"Than we will sit here enjoying nature like true Shamans!" Horo exclaimed happily. They sat there for about 30 minutes, watching the sunset. When Ren finally spoke, the stars were out and the sun was completely gone. Rens head was on Horos shoulder, and Horos head was resting on top of Rens. Their fingers were still laced. Ren said
"When I first came to Tokyo, I hated it. I saw only what I had expected to see. No stars and humans polluting everything in sight. I thought it was my duty as the only one who could see non-shamans for the scum I thought they were to rid the world of said people. But one day I was exhausted, too tired to think or move. I was lying on the sidewalk, staring up at the stars, and then I saw the stars for what they really were, bright and clear. Than I realized that my mind had been clouding my vision, keeping me from seeing the real world, and making me see only what I expected to see. And as I was laying there, barley awake, this old man, this old man who had to lean on his cane just to walk, came over and picked me up. Taking me over to where I lived. He even put me in my bed, and bandaged my cuts. And while he was walking out, I saw a metal brace on his leg., and as he walked away, I thought he looked vaguely familiar.
"The next morning, I was convinced I had dreamed it. But when I got up, I saw there were cane prints on the floor. I was shocked, this old man who I had never seen before in my life had helped me. Me, who probably would have cut his arm off had annoyed me while I was in a bad mood. And I realized that not all humans are earth-polluting scum. I also realized that if I wiped out the entire human population, who would serve me when I become Shaman King?" Horo, who had been wondering what had gotten into Ren, fell over animae stile, which, needless to say, is not a good thing to do in a tree. Ren, once again, pulled him up. An easy feat, considering they were still holding hands. They both realized this and blushed, quickly dropping hands. 'Thanks" Horo said, smiling happily at Ren. (A/N: Wouldn't you be happy if your true love saved you from falling out of a tree) Ren blushed, that smile again! Horo noticed how close they were. Close enough to kisshe thought, and he too blushed. Some part of his head that was somehow managing to stay calm, noticed that they were still getting closer. He could feel Ren's breath on his lips now. They heard laughter, Yoh and everyone else were back. Horo quickly pulled away, what had he done! He had almost kissed Ren; this was bad this was very bad. "Hey Guys! Help us!" he shouted, before he did something they would both regret.
Lizzie: Grrrr… Why did Yoh come home then! WHY?
Bason and Kororo: Cursing
