A/N – Ok I had a bit more time to write this one.
Chapter 11
Lyserg then told Yoh the story of how Hao killed his parents and he was seeking revenge but wasn't strong enough alone.
"So you wanna join us? Is that it?" Yoh asked.
"Great. Another mouth to feed." Trey said.
"We don't need him on our team." Len said.
Lyserg, pretty pissed, drew in his pendulum and got ready to strike.
"Well if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you're gonna get!" Trey said as he and Lenny gained spirit control. Lyserg's guardian ghost rode the pendulum, wrapped round Trey's and Lenny's mediums and destroyed them. Trey and Lenny dropped to the floor, beaten.
"My board…" Trey said, his eyes glazed over at seeing his board ripped to shreds.
" I thought you had promise but I guess I was wrong. How about you Yoh?" Lyserg said.
Yoh lowered his head and walked toward Trey and Len.
"Forget it Lyserg," he said. Then this tall dude with a purple and white suit and serious fashion issues came.
"Hey what happened?" he asked as he took Lenny's arm over his shoulder and Yoh took Trey's.
"Some guy looking for a fight." Yoh said.
"Don't walk away from me Yoh!" Lyserg said and his pendulum flew towards him.
"Watch out Yoh!" I shouted. Yoh turned his head and jumped out of the way just in time. Lyserg went to strike him again but Yoh got out his sword and shattered his pendulum like it was made of plastic. Lyserg dropped to his knees.
"You weren't fighting me," Yoh said, "you were fighting the memory you have of when Hao killed parents. If you fight like that you'll never beat him. Anger doesn't make you stronger. Just ask Len. Now are you gonna sit there or are you gonna help me and my friends."
Lyserg looked up and smiled and followed Yoh.
"You coming Karuri?" Yoh asked me.
"Nah. I still haven't bought the stuff yet."
"Uh…Karuri?" Lyserg said timidly, "I'm sorry…about-"
"Forget about it." I said.
Then he smiled. A really nice smile.
Then I turned away and began to walk back to the shop.
"Karuri?" Lyserg said. I stopped and turned to him. He looked shy all of a sudden, "Will I uh…see you again?" Wow he wanted to see me again!
But what should I say to him?
"I hope so uh...I mean uh... I think so." I stuttered. Why did I say I HOPE so for! I thought angrily to myself.
After I got the stuff from the shop I headed home.
"Uh…Callisto?" I called.
No sooner had I called than she appeared floating by my side.
"Yes Karuri-sama?"
"In fight back there. It was you wasn't it? That gave me powers and all."
"Yes. I thought you needed help so I passed my powers onto you."
"Just who are you anyway?'
"Who am I? You are not concentrating in history. I am a powerful Goddess from the times of ancient Rome."
"Oh right. I vaguely remember. You can blow a gust of wind that can knock people off they're feet isn't it."
"That is true."
I stopped just before I reached my door. Yolei would NOT be happy finding out I had a guardian ghost.
"Callisto. Lay low while my sister is home ok. Don't materialize at ALL."
"But why?"
"My sister…has a thing against ghosts."
"I see. Do not worry. It will be as if I was not there."
"Thanks C. Can I call you C?"
"Of course."
"Cool."
She disappeared as I opened the door. Yolei was home.
"Oh Karuri!" she said poking her head into the corridor as I came in.
"Hey. I got the stuff."
"Cool. So…how was your date?'
Oh right! The date!
"It was uh…good."
"So did he make a move?'
"Um...yeh...I…kissed him a couple of times."
"Aww that's so sweet!" she purred, "you have GOT to invite him over!"
"Invite him over! Why!"
"How can you go out with and he barely even knows what your house looks like?"
"Uh...ok." How was this gonna work now?
The next day after school I met up with Trey to tell him about my problem.
"So I need you to help me. Pleeeeaase?" I begged.
"Ok I'll help you. So what do I have to do? Pretend to be your bf?"
"Yeh."
"So how come you said it was me. Why didn't you say it was Yoh? I KNOW you'd like that."
"Well she and Yoh sorta got off to a bad start and you were the first person I thought of."
"Oh ok."
We were now aware that we were shamans and I told him Yolei had a thing against ghosts.
I walked up to the door with Trey and held his hand as Yolei opened the door.
"Hey you lovebirds you!" she greeted.
"Hey Yolei." Trey said.
We both smiled politely and I took him to the living room as Yolei went upstairs. At least we were 'supposed' to think she went upstairs. She was actually spying on us from the hallway. Callisto tipped me off about this and I told Trey.
He casually slipped his arm round me and pretended to whisper sweet nothings into my ear.
What he was actually saying was, "So uh…what do we do now?"
"Not sure," I whispered back, "We gotta do something that will make her sure we're going out."
"I know." He said and turned my head toward his. His lips delicately touched mine and I felt butterflies in my stomach, something I didn't usually feel when I was near Trey. This made me nervous and my heart began to race. His arm slipped round my waist and he kissed me again, pulling me closer to him. I put my arm round his neck and he brought me down onto the sofa.
"Callisto?" I whispered in between kisses, "Is it working?"
She appeared for a split second and grinned. "Like a charm. She's grinning from ear to ear. She's leaving now. Upstairs she goes. Ok now she's gone."
Trey and I sat up and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your sis takes a lot of convincing." Trey said stretching.
"Yeh. Um by the way, I'm supposed to have gone on two dates with you already."
"Two. Right."
"She's coming." I heard Callisto say.
Trey put his arms round me again and was about to kiss me. I could feel his warm breath on my mouth and my heart started racing again.
"Ahe-ahem!" we heard and broke apart, "Sorry to bother you but just to remind you I won't be here tonight and I'm leaving now. Also remember mom and dad are coming tomorrow." Yumi and Gendou Nohara were my parents.
"Oh right! Thanks for telling me." I said.
She smiled, "I'm off. Be good now and don't do anything I wouldn't do but if you do remember to use protection!"
Protection? It took me while to realize what she was talking about.
"Euh Yolei! You're gross!" I said and threw a cushion at her. She dodged it and headed for the door, "Better safe than sorry!"
We heard the door shut.
"She's sick sometimes." I said.
"It's true though." Trey said as he turned on the TV.
"Whaaat!" I said, "I mean…uh…sure its true but…I mean…"
I'm so stupid!
"What I mean to say is…Its not like we were gonna…"
"Yeh I know what you mean."
Why was I getting tongue tied with him all of a sudden? That's never happened before with him.
