-little talk-

I'm getting warned by my parents for staying too long on the Internet so I won't be personally answering reviews anymore. But I do remember some of them I've read...sorry that I can't remember your s/n now (I'm offline). I'm sorry that Hao wasn't in the last chapter...I didn't even realize it.

Also....a word that's commonly misspelled "grammar"

--...I forgot Hao has long hair...hm.

--... teehee, Hao snowball fight.

--btw, thank you, of all my stories, this has the most reviews. (even though mostly reviewed by the same people. anyway, I like this story, it's not even likely I'll discontinue).

Moving In

Chapter 11

18th of May, Monday. Five more days...

I had a vision last night, I don't think it was very important. It was Toshihito smiling, basically, but I heard Hao's voice speaking through him. I guess I couldn't see Hao because his voice didn't match up with whatever Toshi was trying to say..."lip-sync"-ing or something like that.

"Are you sure? Do you really think so?" Hao's voice kept repeating those words. I felt so annoyed that in the end, I woke up.

I think it was just a dream. Sometimes it's hard to tell because I see these people everyday, so they're just naturally in my dreams. Even when the dream means nothing.

"Lysergie!" Hao tried to speak with his most charming voice, "It nice to know that you're dropping by Japan, today. Good thing I was able to catch up with you while you're still here at the airport."

"I'm sure," the green haired, pretty boy turned to look at Hao. His nose crinkled as he watched the back end of a bus. "You could sense me a world away...and stop calling me 'Lysergie'!!"

"Because only your parents can say it...or at least they could, when they were still here."

Lyserg's face froze, and clenched his hands. Wearing his usual green, detective-like suit, Lyserg held two, large pieces of luggage -- green, of course, with plaid stripes. Lyserg started to fume a bit but instead he picked up his belongings, and huffed away.

"Let me help you." Hao ran up behind him, took advantage Lyserg's silence, and assisted himself to one of his bags.

"What do you want now, Hao?" Lyserg voice trembled, "shouldn't you be at school?"

"Relax, I only have a few questions for you, then I'll be off to school."

"Yoh ...W A K E U P!" Tamao heard Anna's voice from the kitchen. Tamao sighed a little, and quickly finished her breakfast. "Of course, Anna!!" Yoh stammered. Tamao was at the front door getting herself ready for school when she noticed Anna standing calmly in the hallway looking right at her.

"You may leave without us--" meaning her, and Yoh, "-- it's almost late."

"Thank you, Anna"

"And don't worry about Hao. I'm sure he's just somewhere. He'll probably be in an ally, or something."

Or something...

Hao sat in the back of a yellow, checkered cab with Lyserg next to him.

"Lyserg, I need your help." Hao whispered, as not to have the taxi driver hear.

"What does the great Hao expect of me that he doesn't expect of his loyal lasses that would do anything for him?"

"Well...I just thought that maybe you'd know something about this topic."

"Tell me."

Hundreds of cars crammed at intersections, a traffic jam, of course. The taxi cursed as he nearly crashed while gradually passing the street lights, and tall metallic buildings.

"I trust that you will not, and would not tell anybody what I'm going say. And I won't hurt you." Hao lowered his voice even more, leaning in towards Lyserg. The Great Spirit of Fire hung menacingly by Hao's side.

"Fine." Lyserg answered his request.

"Enlighten me, how should I...approach a lady?"

"Just say, 'Hi'? Really, how should I know?" Lyserg spoke abruptly.

"Fine, if you really just don't know. I thought you'd be the right person because I'm sure many men have been...fooled by your appearance..."

Without the Fire Spirit hovering about, Lyserg boldly raised his hand, and striked down at Hao's smiling face. There was a little cracking sound at contact, it was only a slap, Lyserg being a just gentleman.

"You...didn't sense anything. You didn't stop me." Lyserg's eyes widened while staring at Hao, who's head which still hung low from the hit. "Something's wrong with you, Hao. You don't seem like yourself."

"I'm...fine." Hao mustered out a comment. His face turned slightly red from the impact as the blood flushed to his head. He swayed back, and forth in that taxi, using his hand to cover the throbbing pain on his head. Little, crimson flames came out of Hao's hand, trying to prevent a bruise. Meanwhile, Lyserg kept his distance from Hao for his own safety.

"Tamao!" Toshihito called out to her, "good thing I was able to catch up to you before school."

Toshihito ran up to Tamao who was waiting to cross an intersection. "It seems hard to get by, doesn't it?" Toshihito meant crossing the walk, which was overloaded with cars, shinny metals of mostly black.

"Yeah, it sorta is. It's taking quite a while now." her eyes shifted off of his face.

"Tamao, are you coming to the soccer game?"

"What?" Tamao spun herself around to face him.

Toshihito stood there scratching his sapphire colored hair, "You don't have to go."

"I think...I'll be there. I mean, if I go with Hao, I can get in with a free admission, right?"

"Haha...if you go in the back door through the locker room." Toshihito gave a joking smile.

"N-no!" the comment made Tamao's face flush to match her hair, "I can pay."

The light turned green, and signaled them to walk. All cars came to a stop as the pedestrians crossed the street. Tamao already took a step into the street when Toshihito opened his arm, "Won't you?" he asked with a charming smile. Hesitant as she was, she grasped a hold of his arm.

I'm working on an essay, that's all I ever do in my English class. So...don't expect too much soon. and sorry that this story isn't too detailed.

-- hm. sometimes I think that I'm making Hao, and Tamao drift too far apart.

--heehee, I like 'Lysergie'. But I don't really know Lysergie's personality too well, this is just how I've seen him lately on TV. heehee, "oh no! my protégé!"

--btw, is anybody still confused about Tamao's thoughts on Hao, and Anna? If so, I'll try to clear it up in the 13th chapter.

-- merry christmas, and sorry for the short chapter.
