Chapter 6

Tamao was talking on the phone, helping Anna to get ready the flowers needed for the wedding.

"Hello, this is Funbari Flower Shop! What can I do f or you?" the voice on ht eother end said.

"Erm... I need to order flowers for a wedding... erm..." Tamao said meekly.

"Okay... could you wait for a while... I'll get something to take down your order..." The person said, putting down the phone.

"Okay... I'm back... What your name, Miss... we need your name to get the delivery correct..." The other person said.

"Erm... my name is Tamao Tamamura... the wedding is for a Anna Kyouma and Asakura Yoh... erm..." Tamao said, gulping down hard as she said the last few words.

"Tamao? Is that you? I'm Sliva! How come Yoh didn't send me a invitation to the wedding?" Sliva said over the phone.

"Erm.. because we didn't have your address?" Tamao said, relieved that it was Sliva she was talking to.

"Oh... Well... let's get to your order then... what did you want to get?" Sliva said.

'Erm... ( okay people... get your imagination here... didn't know what flowers were there... ja ne!) that's about it... yah... could you send get those ready on the 9th of August, that's when Anna and Yoh are holding their wedding... about the place... erm... we're not sure... so... we'll tell you when Anna decides..." Tamao said.

"Okay... By the way, tell Horo Horo that the white roses he order are here... tell him to pick it up soon..." Sliva said, then hung up.

"Oh..." Tamao felt a sinking feeling.

Why am I feeling like this... it feels like when I see Anna and Yoh together... Why do I care who he's buying those roses for! Tamao thought, then proceeded to the training hall, where Horo Horo was training, to tell him what Sliva said.

"Horo Horo-kun? Are you there?" Tamao asked meekly, as she open the door to the Training Hall.

"Aa... I'm here..." Horo Horo said, as he placed down the weights, bared-back.

"Oh... erm... Sliva asked me to tell you...erm... that the white roses you ordered... had arrived... and asked you to pick it up..." Tamao said, trying hard to hide her tomato-red face, when she saw Horo Horo's naked chest.

"Okay... thanks..." Horo Horo said, turning back to lifting his weights.

"Erm... Horo Horo? Can I ask you something?..." Tamao asked shyly.

"Okay... what did you want to ask?" Horo Horo replied, his back still turn against Tamao.

"Erm... nothing..." Tamao said, leaving quickly.

"Okay..."

I must be mad! Why do I want to know who he was going to give the white roses for!

Because you like him!

I don't like him!

Fine... you'll regret not asking him... plus... white roses represent eternal love...

So what if I ask him?

At least you're dropping a hint that you like him...
I'm telling you that... I DO NOT LIKE HORO HORO USUI!

Whatever you say... but you won't bluff me..

What do you mean...

You cannot bluff yourself...

"Tamao? Are you alright?"

Tamao snapped out of her trance and looked who had been calling her name, "Oh! It's you, Ren!"

"Yeah... are you alright?" Ren asked with caution.

"Sure! I've got to go find Anna to tell her that I've ordered the flowers and that Sliva's coming too!" Tamao said, turning her back to Ren.

"Fine... Where's that Horo no Baka? I need to ask him something!" Ren called after her.

"I saw him in the training hall!" Tamao yelled.

"What's wrong with her?" Ren said to himself as he left to find Horo Horo.
