LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ

Chapter 2

The sun finally shone through the open window of the onsen burning Ren's eyelids to open.

"Wha-" he muttered as he started to wake up.

The first one he saw was his trusty power spirit beside him.

"Master Ren. Good thing you're awake." Bason said loking worried.

Ren sat up and looked around finding himself inside his room in Anna's onsen.

"How did I get here?" Ren asked knowing where he was last night.

"Um… Master Ren… you should know that last night Horo's sister found you in the bar."

"Really. So she's the one who brought me here. Remind me to thank her." Ren said as he stand up and fix the futon.

"Um… that's not all… you see alcohol was like a truth serum for you Master Ren… and you kindda…"

Ren froze and looked at Bason. His eyes were shaking.

"You mean?" Ren uttered.

Bason nodded.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

TTTT

Pirika was already on the plane. Fidgeting about why she was there in the first place… then like a sharp lighting bolt a memory passed by her head.

It was a beautiful morning and she woke up happily seeing a note beside her. It was from her oniichan and it read:

Dear Pirika,

Tamao is going to Russia for her mission as a student of the Asakuras. You know that there are some Ainus there too… Uncle Kamou lives there and so I was thinking if I could escort Tamao there. She might get lost…

And because of all that I ordered Ren to take care of you while I'm gone.

Don't let him bug you lil sis…

Take care of yourself.

Love lots

Your oniichan.

"Because of that I'm here." Pirika muttered as he reminiscing finally came to a halt.

Pirika smiled,

She could still remember what happened last night… and the big revelation last night. This is what her oniichan needs after all… a diversion to keep him away from Ren.

Pirika smiled, "As long as oniichan is with Tamao… it's all gonna be fine." She muttered.

Then in that instant she snapped a piercing look at the person in front of him, pouting in the process.

"I still don't believe that I'm with him… that gay." Pirika thought heatedly.

Ren finally noticed Pirika glaring at him.

"What are you looking at?" Ren asked in a stiff voice.

"I know. Ren Tao. I know."

"Know what… Ainu?" Ren asked, sneering.

"The disgusting truth about you… you're unimaginable." Pirika muttered.

Ren finally looked seriously at Pirika.

"I won't let you tell anybody about this."

"I am an honorable Ainu… bribery doesn't work with me." Pirika answered at once.

"I'm not going to do that."

"Are you saying that you want to finish me off?"

"No. I'll never slay my friend's sister."

"Then what will you do."

"Prove to you that you're wrong."

Pirika was stunned. Her eyes were wide-open in surprise.

"How in the world would you do that! I hate you Ren Tao! I'll never let you have my brother… if it's the last thing I have to do!" Pirika shouted, "you filthy gay!"

Pirika's hatred and disgust was clearly shown in her fumed face.

Ren on the other hand was trying his best to control his temper… for her.

The truth is Pirika is the last person Ren would want to know about his secret.

He was getting fond of the girl ever since she appeared on the Shaman Fight. They are basically the same, both were youngest and how it is to have an older sister or brother. Though he was a boy and she was a girl and even if they were totally opposite from her he learned… something… something more valuable than what he knows already.

From that they never spoke to each other again.

TTTTTTTTT

They finally arrived at the Tao mansion.

"I got to warn you… about my father…" Ren said before they even enter the mansion.

"I know… my oniichan already told me about it."

With that silence took over again.

Ren finally started to open the door and with that a sudden explosion, not that big, was heard.

Ren thought it was trouble again but he was wrong.

"Welcome back Ren!" Jun shouted embracing her little brother.

Ren was suffocating because of Jun and Pirika was just staring… stifling a laugh trying to be composed.

Then a beautiful woman, she assumed to be Ren's mother, suddenly came up to her and examined her happily.

"Oh this is great… our little Ren is growing up. Look she already brought a girl friend." Ren's mother declared.

Pirika instantly blushed.

"What's your name girl?" An old man asked.

"Pirika… Usui."

"You're Horohoro's sister. That boy is one good Shaman… I bet you're as good as him too." The old man declared.

"Oh no… Oniichan is the best Shaman in our tribe… I'm no match for him." Pirika answered, bushing furiously.

"I know that you will be a good bride for our Ren. Take care of him Pirika… for us…" Ren's mother said smiling.

"What?" Pirika gasped.

Ren finally snapped from Jun's embrace and realized what his other family members were doing to her.

"Would you quit it!" Ren shouted.

"I know this is the first time I've ever brought a girl here but that doesn't mean that I'm planning to marry her. Besides… were'nt all of you supposed to be in a vacation." Ren snapped.

"Yes we were… but we thought that we should see it first that you came home before we leave." Jun said excitedly.

"Besides Jun said that you'll be bringing your would-be partner in life." Ren's mother said happily.

"I wouldn't! besides I'll never marry a girl like that! NEVER!" Ren shouted and with that he left angrily.

Pirika then looked saddened. Tears slowly filing her eyes but she still tries to blink them away.

"I know that you will never marry me… for you like… my brother."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
