Hey everyone! So what have you guys been doin? Ha ha just kidding. I'm kinda hyper right now and ready to show you guys all Love at Last Chapter 8! Hope that you guys enjoy and remember I want lots of reviews people (that is if you want me to update sooner) Okay well enough said, here's chapter 8. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: The day that I own Shaman King, will be the day that I am considered a good author (which of course is never gonna happen and that's why I'm saying this)
Everything was set. The gang had put all of their luggage in the back of the car, they had all sat down in their seats and buckled their seatbelts, (except for Manta, who had to be put in a booster seat because of his size, ha ha ha just kidding) and they were on their way to the amusement park.
Anna was a little excited, because of the fact that she had never been to the amusement park before, but during the first half of the long drive, she was far from excited.
Yoh and her were sitting together in the back row of the car, but they sat as far away from each other as possible. Yoh was sitting comfortably, on the right side of the car, his hands on his knees, whistling.
Anna on the other hand, was on the far left side of the car, leaning against the window, an expression of pure boredom, and impatience, written across her face. She was tapping her small fingers on her knees in desperate attempt to drown out the sound of Yoh's whistling. She was obviously agitated about something.
Look at him? Anna thought suddenly. He's acting as if last night's confession never happened! You'd think that he would at least mention something, but noooooo. He's just blissfully whistling away like some deranged lunatic. Anna turned around, crossed her arms, and stared at Yoh with a look of agitation on her face.
It's not like I care what he does. He's a crazy idiot anyways. Just then Anna had realized all of the negative things that she had said. Wait a minute. If I love Yoh, then why am I saying these things? Could it be that I'm angry because he's not coming forth and telling me that he loves me when he thinks that I'm actually listening? But then again, I haven't really been straight forward with him either, so what am I supposed to be mad about?
Anna looked up at Yoh and continued to stare at him, but this time she had a sad expression on her face.
Yoh noticed that Anna was staring at him from the corner of his eye. He stopped whistling and looked over.
"Um is something wrong Anna?" he asked.
Anna quickly came out of her daze and shook her head.
"Uh...no...nothing's wrong...I just...it's just that I was...Leave me alone!" She hissed. She crossed her arms again and turned around to face the other way.
Yoh's eyes widened.
"Oh Okay. I'm sorry." Yoh lowered his head in shame and stared out the car window.
Horo Horo (who was now sitting in the front passenger seat next to Ren) also had an expression of boredom and agitation on his face. He had his arms crossed, and was slouching lazily in his seat. From time to time he would sigh for absolutely no reason. This of course, would occasionally make Ren agitated.
(silence)
Horo Horo sighed. He looked up around the car humming to himself. He then sighed again.
Ren was trying to hold in his anger as he was driving and needed to concentrate on the road, but every now and then, Horo Horo would continue to sigh and hum to himself.
(silence)
Horo Horo sighs.
Just then Ren's anger got to the best of him. He stopped the car right in the middle of the road, and turned to Horo Horo.
"Ugggghhhhhh WOULD YOU KNOCK IT OFF!" he yelled. He had rage in his eyes as he scared the hell out of Horo Horo.
Horo Horo stared at him wide eyed.
"What do you mean knock it off?" he asked.
"I mean stop with the excessive sighing!" He shouted.
Horo Horo clutched his arms in a show of fear.
"Sooorrry, it's just that I'm really bored." he answered.
Ren sat back down in his seat, put both hands on the steering wheel, and sighed.
"And what exactly do you want me to do about it?" He asked. He then proceeded to drive again.
Horo Horo sat back up straight and thought for a moment.
"Uhh I dunno. Putting on some music would be nice." he replied.
Ren grunted.
"Music these days is so tainted. It's all about adultery (A/N: wanted to keep this PG-13), drugs, and violence. Frankly, I find it quite revolting." Ren replied.
"Hey they're some good songs out there. Not all music is tainted you know." Horo Horo stated.
"As long as it'll keep you quiet, then listen to whatever you want." Ren suggested.
"Alrighty then." Horo Horo said excitedly. He reached right over and turned on the car radio.
The first song to come up was a heavy metal song.
Horo Horo started banging his head and moving his arms as if her were playing an imaginary guitar. Ren was appalled by the music that was playing.
"What kind of devilish music is this?" Ren asked.
Horo Horo stopped his movements abruptly and turned to Ren.
"Are you kidding me? It's heavy metal dude." he answered.
"Well change the station. This music is absolutely dreadful." Ren reached over to the car radio and changed the station. He changed it to a station that played classical music and opera.
"Much better." Ren said.
Horo Horo stared at Ren wide eyed.
"Are you kidding me dude? What kind of music is this! It's hurting my ears!" Horo Horo said while covering his ears.
"It's opera you knob. And it's way better then that devilish 'heavy metal' that you were listening to." Ren remarked.
"Pst. Oh no it isn't." Horo Horo replied. He reached right over and changed the radio station.
Ren shocked by Horo Horo's actions, looked over at him in disgust.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked.
"Changing the radio station. What does it look like I'm doing?" Horo Horo answered.
"Oh no you don't." Ren quickly looked over at the road and then changed the radio station at the same time.
"Hey!" Horo Horo yelled. He changed the radio station again.
"Stop it!" Ren shouted. He changed the radio station again.
"No way! Change it back!" Horo Horo yelled. He changed the radio station again.
"This is my car and I can do anything I want!" Ren shouted.
"I don't think so!" Horo Horo yelled. He kept changing the radio station.
Before you knew it, it had turned into an all out battle over the radio. Ren and Horo Horo continued to change the radio stations like crazy! Manta, (who was in the second row) noticed that the car started to rock mostly because Ren's attention had been diverted from the road. He carefully stood up and held on to the front seats as the car started to rock around.
"Stop changing the radio station, and leave it where I had it!" Ren shouted.
"No way! That music was so out of date!" Horo Horo exclaimed.
Manta walked over between them.
"Ummmm guys?" he asked.
Ren and Horo Horo both looked over at Manta with rage in their eyes.
"WHAT?" They both shouted.
Manta then pointed out the front window of the car.
"You guys might wanna stop fighting, cause we're on the wrong side of the road and there's a trailer heading right for us!"
Suddenly the two agitated boys looked over and saw that Manta was telling the truth. While the two were fighting, Ren had let go of the steering wheel causing the car to slide into the opposite lane. And now there was a huge semi trailer heading right towards them!
Everyone in the car then grabbed onto the seat in front of them and held on for their lives.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed.
Ren then took quick action. He grabbed a hold of the steering wheel and quickly turned it as much as he could in order to pass the trailer. To his surprise, the car turned rapidly and steered over to the opposite lane. But there was still a minor problem...the car was on two wheels! Ren turned the steering wheel again in order to get the car back on four wheels.
Everyone in the car, was rocking and rolling all over the place. Anna had accidentaly slipped over to the right side of the car, as the car rose onto two wheels, but she landed safely in Yoh's arms. She couldn't help but blush when she opened her eyes and found herself in Yoh's arms.
Yoh looked down at her and smiled.
"Ha ha I've got you." he said. But suddenly Yoh lost his balance as well and the two crashed down onto the ground as the car kept rocking around.
After what seemed like forever, the car finally regained it's balance and landed back on four wheels. Ren sighed in relief. He had been wearing his seatbelt the whole time and had remained safely in his seat even after the whole ordeal.
"Well that was a close one right guys?" Ren asked. He then turned around and looked towards the back of the car. To his amazement everyone had been thrown around and they were all on the floor of the car, twitching.
Yoh and Anna actually landed on top of each other! Anna on the bottom and Yoh on top! And face down! (A/N imagine what ever you guys want to. I know you guys are thinking about it all pervertedly. heh heh) Manta had crashed into the car radio and was laying on the ground, arms and legs twitching. Horo Horo had hit the dashboard causing the air bag to come flying out. His face was now in the air bag and he wasn't moving! Tamao had crashed into the back of Ren's seat and had landed on the ground close to where Manta was. And poor little Pilika had flown all the way over to the back seat and was laying lifelessly on one of the back chairs.
Ren looked on at the scene wide eyed. He then angrily turned around and looked over at Horo Horo whose head was in the airbag at the moment. His eyes began to twitch and he suddenly grabbed Horo Horo by the hair and pulled him away from the air bag.
"YOU BAKA!" he shouted.
To be continued...
Author's Note:
Heh heh. Weird chapter huh? Sorry for the late update but I've been trying to find software so that I could finally update my computer from a windows 98 to a windows XP. But I had no such luck yet. And well I have a huge assessment test that I have to take next week. A 4 day test! And I have to study my booty off! But well anyways, I understand if you guys think that this chapter is really crappy, it's just that I haven't really been able to concentrate on my fics lately. I have so many other things on my mind. Sorry about that. You guys can flame me if you want. I'll understand completely.
