Never Thought it was You
Chapter 2: Mayhem in the Morning
Tamao woke up to the bright sunlight pouring into her room. She could hear the birds chirping just outside her widow, it looked like it was gonna be a beautiful day. She dressed and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. When she looked up she froze, staring at the person sitting on the dining table with Yoh, it was Ren. What's he doing here? It's 8 o'clock in the morning!
He looked up when she came in but didn't say anything; instead he turned his head to his food as if no-one was there. She lowered her head in disappointment, muttering a low "Ohayo…" Wait a minute, she thought, why am I disappointed, why do I care what he says?
"Ohayo, Tamao-Chan!" replied Yoh in his usual cheery voice. This made her heart jump; the love of her life just greeted her when no one did. No wonder I love him so much, he's so nice…
"So Ren, what brings you here in this time of day, you still haven't told me," Yoh turned to Ren,
"Can it be? Oh Ren, you shouldn't, I know you miss me," said Yoh in mock exasperation.
Silence…
"NANIIIIIIII? KISSAMA!" Ren absolutely exploded when he heard this. Everybody around them was laughing, it was really very funny to watch those two squabble, it's always worth watching. That's always the case when Ren is involved in any fight. He's so funny in his own way, thought Tamao; he really should take over Chocolove (of course that's when you consider Chocolove to be actually funny). She poured herself some orange juice and headed for the dining table, in exactly the same moment Ren happened to get up and…SPLASH! Tamao was on top of Ren with the glass of juice still pouring onto his face! She had shut her eyes from the shock of what had just happened, and remained that way even after everything was over, until…
"ano…" she opened her eyes when she heard his voice, only to find a pair of golden eyes only an inch from her own. She felt as though she were in some kind of trance, it was that feeling again, a feeling that she couldn't take her eyes off of him, or something bad is going to happen. Ren apparently did not feel that way.
"Get off me," he pushed her off him. "Look what u did, baka onna".
Whoa, she thought, this is way overboard, why the hell is he that mad? It was just some juice…
"ano… gommenne, Ren, I didn't see you" she hid her face with her hands, she felt like crying, he was so mean, that Chinese baka…
He didn't say anymore, he merely grunted, stood up and left the house without another word.
"What was that about?" commented Horohoro angrily; he looked down at Tamao, who was still on the floor, staring at it with watering eyes. He walked over to her and gave her his hand, "come on Tamao-chan, stand up, and don't listen to that Chinese bastard," he smiled at her. She couldn't help but notice the slight blush creeping on his face.
"Heh, Ren-kun has always been like that Tamao-chan, so don't give it a thought," Pilika comforted her. Yoh preferred to keep silent; he could definitely see through Ren, he was his best friend after all. He smiled to himself, because he could have sworn he heard a certain somebody curse himself on his way out of the house.
Ohayo: good morning
Baka: stupid
Onna: woman
Gommenne: sorry
