SM: The second on of 'First Date' I just had to write this. Ren was OOC in the other chapter but I'm putting it down to him hanging around Horo too much. I don't own Shaman King.

Name: Second Date.

Couple: HoroRen.

In the park

Ren sat down on the cool grass. He watched his friends playing around. They all seemed so happy, all they were doing was throwing a Frisbee around yet they got so much fun from it.

His golden eyes travelled to Horo. It had been a week since their first date and much to Ren's displeasure it was going to be their last too. He had told Horo that they could go on a second date yet after that night Horo hadn't said anything to Ren about it.

Ren watched as Hao, who was staying with them for a while, threw the Frisbee at Horo. Not to him but at him. The disk collided with Horo's head; the Ainu clutched his head in pain kneeling on the ground. Everyone, excluding Hao, gathered around the boy before walking him to sit next Ren. They asked Ren to watch him as they went back to their amusement.

"How are you?" Ren asked Horo.

Horo laughed then clutched his head in pain. "I'm fine, kinda."

Ren moved so he was facing Horo, he pulled the older boys hands from were he was hit so he could see what the problem was. Ren placed his hand gently on Horo's mark, it was slightly swollen. "Don't worry you'll be fine. You'll have a headache for awhile and it will bruise but other then that no permanent damage."

Horo smiled at Ren. "Thanks doctor Tao." Horo said, he took Ren's hand in his own holding it tightly. "So, how are you?"

Ren smiled slightly. "Fine." Ren looked over at the others; they were still playing around and screaming at each other.

Yoh then ran over to them. "Were going for ice cream you guys wanna come?"

"I think it's best if I stay away from Hao at the moment." Horo said laughing. Yoh smiled at him the glanced at where Horo's and Ren's hands were linked. Horo was about to let go of Ren's hand but Ren stopped him.

"Have you got a problem Asakura!" Ren said tightening his hold on Horo. Yoh shook his head. "I'll be staying here with Horo to make sure he's okay." Ren said, he turned his head away from Yoh.

The Asakura nodded and ran back to the others. They all went off waving bye to their friends. Horo stared at Ren for a while before letting go of his hand and standing up. Ren followed suit, "What are we going to do?" Ren asked.

Horo laughed at Ren. "Well since we're alone, do you want to go on our second date?"

"Why haven't you mentioned that before?" Horo just looked at Ren as he said that. "Usually people don't wait a week to arrange plans for a second date."

Horo cupped Ren's chin making the golden eyes look at him. "I was afraid that you would deny it. But now I know that you won't because you held my hand in front of Yoh." Horo's face neared Ren's and, to Ren's utter surprise, Horo pressed their lips together, it was a sweet kiss and didn't last that long. "Where do you want to go?" Horo said causally after the kiss.

Ren lifted his hand up to his lips. "Umm. . . I'll go wherever you want to go."

Horo smiled at him again. "Let's go rent a movie then go to my Apartment and watch it. After that we'll order takeout. How does that sound to you?" Ren just nodded.

They then walked to the movie store and Horo decided to rent 'The Secret Window' (SM: Don't own.) Ren just went along with whatever Horo wanted, so they rented the film and some popcorn.

The walk to Horo's building wasn't very long but they were both having fun. They laughed and joked, Horo thought his heart would burst because he was so happy. For a long time he had wanted to be with Ren in this way, yet he never thought that it was possible. Now his dreams were coming true. He looked over at the boy next to him, Ren was smiling and Horo treasured that he could bring out this side of Ren that was locked away. It was so rare for Ren to smile and laugh, yet he only seemed to do so near Horo. They reached Horo's apartment building eventually.

They walked to Horo's apartment; it was actually a small flat that he shared with his sister, but Prikia was back at the Ainu village in the North for a while. They went up to his apartment and when they reached the door Horo had problems finding his keys. Ren smiled and reached into Horo's shorts blushing like mad, he pulled out the keys and handed them to Horo. "Here." He said.

"Thanks." Horo said also blushing. He bent down and pecked Ren on the lips. "How did you know they were in there?"

"You always put them in there." Ren said smugly.

Horo opened the door stepping in and held the door for Ren to enter. Ren was about to enter cautiously when he remembered something his father once said. "I'm sorry Horo." Ren said stepping back, away from the door and away from Horo. "I have to go. I can't do this." Ren took another step back. "I'm really, really sorry Horo. I shouldn't have gone this far with you. I don't want to hurt you but I have to go."

Horo looked at the Chinese boy in confusion. "Ren, what are you talking about?" Horo then noticed how far away Ren had gone. "Please don't go." Horo begged.

"I have to." Ren said and ran down the corridor. He was stopped when Horo grabbed onto his arm.

"What the hell is going on Ren?" Horo asked; Ren only shook his head. Horo then spun Ren around so he would face him. "Ren, please tell me." Ren shook his head again. Horo had toknow what was going on with Ren, he cared about him too much tolet Ren leave him when thegolden-eyed boy was upset."I'm not letting you go till you tell me."

Horo fell to the floor suddenly, he raised his hand to his cheek were he was hit by an angry Chinese boy. "I'm sorry Horo." He said. "I just can't be with you. I never want to see you again, so just forget about me! I am really sorry." He then ran off down the hall.

"So am I Ren."

With me
