Chapter 7 – My Green-Eyed Monster

Hao's POV

Damnit, I can't see through these branches! Argh, what the freakin' hell are they doing!...? Stupid trees with stupid branches and stupid leaves!

Ah, you're probably wondering why I'm atop a tree, spying at Yoh and Anna.

Yeah, well, it happened like this. Once upon a time, there lived a handsome young prince. He was so handsome that flowers would sprout from the ground whenever he walked past. Birds would sing melodious madrigals and girls would sigh dreamily at the sight of his charming face and… you get my point. ANYWAY, there was also this gorgeous blonde hag that he liked. She was about to confess her undying love to him when a demon – that would be YOH – came and took her away.

There you have it, folks.

"Sure, he acts that way but he isn't exactly that… arrogant. Let's just say, his mask seems a little too real." What the gibberish nonsense is my idiot of a brother talking about!...?

"Whatever. He'll never be anyone to me." Ah, are they talking about me? Anna ONLY uses that dark tone on me. Gawd, I feel so loved.

"He'll never be anyone to you if you only see him as the arrogant big-headed dimwit. You know he's not just that. Hao is someone who you think you know, but deep inside, you don't even know a single thing about him." Uh, I am?

"…"

"He suffered a lot when we were kids for he seemed to have inherited our mother's sickness. That's why no one really ever saw him outside the house. He has no friends then… and until now. There were only two people that gained his trust…"

"What sickness?"

"…Sorry, it's not my story to tell."

"…Like I care about his life."

Yoh merely smiled. They began taking a few steps again.

"I'm really sorry about everything, Anna."

"Hn."

"Really, I'd make it up to you. Why don't you come with me to the amusement park?" He's asking her on a date already!...?

Momentary silence, people.

"Fine, but you have to pay for everything."

"Alright." With that delighted voice, my brother must be smiling from ear to ear.

Argh, they're moving again! I have to get down without being seen! Quietly, now… one… coast clear… two… three… smooth landing.

"Yoh."

"Yes?"

"You are such an idiot."

Yoh kept on smiling.

"And Yoh?"

"Yes, Anna?"

"Thank you."

"No problem." He paused, confusion taking over his features. "Ah… for what?"

"For bringing the keys to the handcuffs."

He snickered. "What's so bad with being handcuffed to Hao anyway?"

"Being squished between his oversized head and unbearable ego."

Yoh laughed. "Hao's not that bad."

"Not that bad? I hope he rots in hell." You see? She loves me a hell lot! Wait a sec… My head is not OVERSIZED! And my ego is not UNBEARABLE! I believe that the right word should be ADORABLE!

I followed them until they turned a corner. Yoh stopped by a flower shop and bought Anna lilies.

"Just like you. Simple but beautiful." He smiled.

She rolled her eyes and they proceeded to walk. She trailed behind a bit and held the flowers close to her chest. What the? Is that a shadow of a smile on her face? NO WAY! I must be seeing things, yeah, let's go with that.

Whoa, they stopped. I lowered my hat a bit and pretended to be interested with something when Anna glanced at my direction. She can't recognize me! Of course, she can't! I was wearing the perfect disguise! Black shirt that said "I'm Watchin' You", black cargo pants, black sneakers, black hat and black shades. I looked like someone who stalks people and that is totally NORMAL!

Anyway…

They entered the amusement park. Anna was honestly frowning because of the noise. Yoh is such and inconsiderate fool – ah, who am I to talk? – I mean… YOH, YOU ARE A BASTARD!

Their date was boring! Boring, boring, BORING! Did I mention it was boring?

It was now quarter to six in the evening and Yoh led Anna to this secret place and let her watch the sunset. Anna was staring at the sky, again with traces of a smile on her beau— face. She hugged the teddy bear Yoh had won for her on some stupid game.

Fine, they had lots of fun. THERE! Happy, now?

"Beautiful." Anna whispered, not removing her gaze from the sky, which was now painted orange with splashes of red and yellow.

"Yes, very…" Yoh replied, looking dazedly at Anna.

Why is it that I suddenly see everything in green and… GREEN!...?

"It's getting cold, let's go." Anna ordered.

"Uhm… Anna… wait… I… need to tell you something." What the freakin' hell!...? Stop looking at her like that! Eyes off, darnit!

"Spit it out." See? She hates you! She obviously wants me! Now leave, damnit!

"Anna, I…" What the hell? Let go of her hand!

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!" #$&, I didn't just say that! Uhm… uh… don't look at me!

Yoh and Anna looked in my direction. Curse you, fate! I immediately took my newspaper with a very huge hole (as so I can still see them) and began reading, pretending I was oblivious to my surroundings. What the? Why is this chair green?

"Uh, mister, you're sitting on wet paint." Yoh pointed out. WHUAT!...?

"I've noticed." I said casually, making my voice deeper.

"Uh, well, ah… alright." Yoh faltered. Anna's glare pierced through the newspaper I was holding.

"Why is there a huge hole on you newspaper, sir?" Yoh asked innocently.

"I don't care."

"Why are you sweating so hard?"

"No idea."

"Why do you seem to stalk us?"

"I do not STALK people!"

"Yeah, but, you've been following us around."

"Mere coincidence?"

"Why do you have a shirt that says I'm watchin' you?"

"It's a fashion statement?"

"Okay." He smiled and finally left while Anna gave me one final death glare and went off too.

Relief… YES! I have succeeded! Yeah, baby, I rule!

"Hey mister, you know, you look strangely like Hao…" Yoh called out before disappearing into the streets with Anna.

O-o-O-o-O

I managed to return to our room earlier so they wouldn't suspect me spying on them. I scowled as I saw my reflection on the mirror. For some reason, my eyes were blazing green. Odd, very odd indeed.

A few minutes later, my doorknob turned and tah-dah! My girlfriend arrived. I should forbid her of going out on dates with my brother from here on. Why? There's a perfectly logical explanation for that! I. DON'T. KNOW!

"Evening, babe." I grinned, she glared. Cu—Stop that. "Had a fun night with my brother?" I suddenly noticed that I was seething. Eh?

"Had fun spying, Hao?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked innocently, staring straight into her eyes.

She glared at me for 2 minutes and…

"You were following us! Don't even pretend that you weren't! Hell, you were wearing that same shirt! And look, it has green stripes at the back because you sat on wet paint!"

"Your point?"

"You are a bastard."

"I know. You love me for that."

"Go to hell, Hao."

"Ah, but if I were to go to hell, there'll be no girls left in heaven… they'll all be in hell just to be with me."

"Don't flatter yourself."

"I don't."

"Sure…" She rolled her eyes.

"Hey, Anna…"

"What!...?"

"Eat lunch with me tomorrow, my treat…"

She glared.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Do I have a choice!...?" she hissed.

"Nope." I grinned. "And Anna?"

"Yes, Hao?" She gritted her teeth. Heh, man, she looks so cute when she's mad.

"You look very odd in green."

She raised a brow. "I'm not wearing green, Hao."

She wasn't?

End of Chapter.

Next Chapter – What is Hao planning now? He seems to act like the jealous boyfriend now… what will he do next? Act nice to Anna? Hell, no… What do you do when a person got you mad? Make him/her suffer of course.
