Vivian ran away.

"Dude, how come that witch could get you that easy?" Horo asked, offering a soda to Yoh.

Yoh faked a smile. He was thinking about Anna. He knew that Anna would never believe that it was just a misunderstanding.

"I was walking home when I saw her. She was falling from the tree. I could not just let her be. I had to help her..." Yoh said, trying to remember.

"And then...?" Horo asked curiously.

"I helped her. But when I offered her a hand, she put a spell on me, that's what I think. And then I don't know why, but my power was transferred to her. Just a bit of my furyoku. Then, Anna came. She did not know what happen so she asked me what was going on. And I could not move! Not even a muscle! And that witch... whoever she was... told Anna that we were going out!" Yoh said loudly.

Horo nodded. He understood what Yoh was feeling.

"And then... you were controlled, right? You said to Anna that you were going out with Vivian, right?" Horo said.

"Right. How could you know that? I haven't told you that..." Yoh said.

"Vivian did the same thing to me and Tamao. And so, you could see, Tamao did not want to speak to me anymore. She is angry with me. And I too, am mad at her. How could she only believes Vivian? She does not trust me! That's why I do not talk to Tamao for these days, and she avoids me!" Horo shouted, letting out his rage.

Yoh nodded, but then he wondered about something.

"Horo, how did you get off the spell?" Yoh asked Horo, studying his eyes.

"Well... lucky me... Ryu found me." Horo said, looking straight at Yoh.

"Yeah...lucky me. You found me." Yoh said, smiling sheepishly to Horo.

Horo laughed then, but deep inside, he was worrying about Tamao.


Tao Ren was standing in front of hospital, as he was waiting for someone. His face was calm; making every girl who passed him blushed. He looked up the sky, thinking about the person he was waiting for.
"Oh, Tamao, I need to pack Anna's clothes and bring them here." Pilica said, sat up.

"Okay then, Pilica... I'll just wait here." Tamao replied softly, and then turned back to her conversation with Anna.

Pilica ran out the door. She got out the hospital and found Tao Ren was waiting for her. She tried to avoid him, but he was too fast that he caught her arm.

"Stop, Pilica. Who are you visiting in there?" Ren asked politely, turned Pilica to face him.

"Someone that really important for me and Tamao..." Pilica answered sweetly.

Ren could not say any words. He wanted to say Anna's name, but he could not. He did not want to say Anna's name, because he could not think of Anna being in a hospital. He did not think about Anna, as he thought that an important person that his girlfriend was talking about could be someone else.

"Horo Horo's sick? Good for him... There will be so peaceful at the Funbari inn..." Ren said teasingly.

Pilica suddenly shook her head, which surprised Ren, because he recognized who the real person she was talking about. If it was not Horo, it might be... the Ice Queen!

"Anna!" Ren said it, almost yelled at Pilica.

Pilica nodded silently. She fought back her tears. Talking about Anna would make Pilica break down at that time. She was really worried about Anna, one of her best friends. And the worst thing was Anna remembered no a single thing.
