Leaders and Servants
Yoh, using his newfound spiritual powers, revived Hao and the Hanagumi. Many opposed this act, but all the same, Yoh still did it. They are all currently at the Asakura Household in Izumo, all three groups, Yoh's, Jeanne's, and Hao's. Hao had an announcement to make, and it was the first gathering in two years of all the groups.
'He's so amazing…' thought Macchi dreamily. Hao seemed to be very distracted today. Macchi looked around her, and noticed something… Different. She blinked. Mari was sitting in Nichrome's lap and they were whispering in each other's ears. Kanna was flirting with Ryu, turning him into a puddle of mush. Yoh and Anna were acting as fiancées, since the tournament was finally over. Ren and Pirika, Horo Horo and Tamao, there were couples everywhere! Suddenly, Macchi felt like an eleventh wheel or something.
Then, the final group they were waiting for, the X-LAWS, walked through the gates, however, it was just Lyserg, Marco and Jeanne. The others refused to come apparently, not that Macchi cared. She could see even from here, the green clad, not in uniform X-LAW was smitten with Jeanne.
However, something seemed wrong when Jeanne walked right up to Hao. Macchi stiffened, expect a fight, as did the green clad X-LAWS member, both ready to fight for the one they secretly loved.
But when Hao wrapped his arms around Jeanne, who simply giggled, Macchi knew something was terribly wrong. And when Jeanne kissed Hao, and he kissed back, Macchi's entire world split and shattered. But that wasn't the worst, oh no…
"We've been seeing each other since the whole battle ended!" exclaimed Hao. "And now we're getting married!"
Macchi's throat tightened, and sighed sadly. It was not like she stood a chance at winning Hao-sama's heart… She knew that Hao-sama did not lie, and would not question him.
"J-Jeanne-sama!" exclaimed the green X-LAWS. "This is a cruel joke, is it not?"
"Hao-sama would not lie about such serious things!" Macchi snapped angrily.
"It is true Lyserg…" said Jeanne softly. "I have loved Hao for a long time…"
"Oh…" muttered Lyserg. He smiled a fake smile. "Well, if you love him, then I am happy for you Jeanne-sama."
"You do not need to lie to me Lyserg." Said Jeanne softly. Lyserg stiffened. Did she know how he felt? "I know how you feel-" Lyserg's eyes widened in horror. "About Hao, but I cannot let a friend's hate of my true love stop me from loving him."
Macchi would have face faulted had she not been heartbroken, and even Hao was staring at Jeanne skeptically. Lyserg, however, mentally sighed with relief.
