Thanks for the very nice reviews. That gave me the spirit to continue my story! Thanks to the ff. people who reviewed this fic:

Shibahime: I'm sorry…So many things to do and assignment to make—but so little time! Thanks, anyway!

Inu n Shaman Fan: Thanx! I get my inspiration from people like you who give good reviews!

Azu-maru: Hi there, Justine! Thanks for taking time to review my not-so-good story! Hope you're having fun at HK.

Risibleme: Thanks, Hannah. You reviewed me so many times with the same message!

Oops! So many thank you's! I better stop before I fill this whole page with it. Well, let's get to the story. Once again, I'd like to WARN you if this story—(I ran out of criticizing words)!

Next morning…

"Aniki, aniki!" Yoh rushed into Hao's room shouting and panicking like the house was on fire.

Hao yawned and stretched his arms.

"What do you WANT now?" Hao cynically asked.

"Aniki, you have to see this for yourself! You just have to!" Yoh alarmingly called out.

"What? See what?" Hao exasperatedly asked.

"This." Yoh finally calmed himself down.

He showed Hao the newspaper that the school recently distributed to the students. Hao's eyes popped out of his head when he saw the headline which was printed in, big red capital letters. It said: YOH, SCHOOL'S NEW HOTTIE WHILE HAO BLENDS IN THE BACKGROUND

"What the HECK is this world coming to?" Hao furiously blurted.

He continued reading the article which he thought was useless (but he still kept reading, though). He remembered that he was the "Yoh" the news was talking about.

"…Sources say Kyouyama Anna and Asakura Yoh are dating in private. Meanwhile, Asakura Hao becomes "inactive" publicly after Kyouyama Anna cut his alluring and eye-catching hair which some students say may be the reason for Hao's startling silence…"

"Very interesting." Hao's eyes maliciously glowed.

"Aniki, I thought you were mad awhile ago?" Yoh asked with a bewildered look.

"Yeah, I was. Because my name now is buried deep below the earth. But they're all brainless idiots. They never found out—and that's a good thing." Hao answered with a grin on his face.

"I'm eager to go to school today. I can't wait to see their faces. Now I have a reason not to be absent." Hao went on.

"That's odd. You never LIKED school."

"Well some things just gotta change. Everything's going to be different from now on." Hao answered.

When people were getting things from their lockers…

A blue-haired girl was gazing as Hao opened his locker to get some junk out for the first-class period.

"Hey, what're you looking at?" Tamao asked her.

"Nothing. Just watching that cutie get his things." Pirika pointed out to Hao who noticed them standing by and winked.

"That? That's just Yoh. He's changed a lot. He's not like the Yoh I've met before. He's totally different now." Tamao sighed.

"I don't care whether he's not the same anymore. But the issue is, he winked at ME! I think I'm going to faint…" Pirika drooled while looking at the brunette.

"Eeeeewwwww! Yuuuuuuccckkkk! You slobbered your saliva on me!" Tamao held her a bit wet shirt.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Pirika freaked out.

What the 2 girls didn't know was there were 2 guys watching them and heard the whole of their conversation.

"Horo-horo! Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?" Ren almost punched Horo.

"Because I didn't want to feel that I did HAVE one. A brutal one, to warn you." The Ainu told the purple-haired shark.

"What's her name?" Ren hastily pulled Horo's shirt.

"What? Picky Ra?" Chocolove jumped out of nowhere.

"Butt out of our business!" Ren and Horo punched and kicked the joker until there was blood running out of his nose.

"Tell me more about her!" Ren eagerly told Horo.

"She tortures me everyday. She makes me clean the house. She cruelly kicks me with her EVIL feet. She ferociously smacks my fetching face. And she TRAPS me in a net when I try to escape her EVIL kingdom of EVILNESS!" Horo-horo told Ren.

"Don't tell me you're scared of your younger sister?" Ren mockingly said.

"And don't tell me you plan to date my sister! Because if you do, you'll regret it until HELL! And I'm not going to help you out if you SUFFER from her EVIL hands…"Horo cautioned Ren.

"Well, I plan to invite her to the school prom next week. If you're willing to help me do that." Ren said.

"SURE! And you DIE in the eternal kingdom of the DEVIL! At least, she won't have to focus on KILLING me first!" Horo shouted out.

Right after dismissal later in the afternoon, the students crowded the bulletin board and saw a big sign that said: SCHOOL PROM next WEEK! ●◦♥FEEL THE LOVE♥◦●!

Hao was standing far away from the pack of crazy students. He also saw the sign and smirked to himself, "This is perfect timing..."

Anna was staying in a corner also far from the foolish students—lonely and alone. Hao saw this as a perfect opportunity to approach her.

"Hey, Anna. Saw the notice on the bulletin? Maybe, you'd like to be my—''

"Well, no one ever invited me to a dance before. I gladly accept." Anna answered.

"I'll pick you up at 6 pm sharp."

"But—I don't have anything to wear. I haven't got lavish gowns or fancy dresses."

"Tomorrow's a Saturday, right? Then we'll go out shopping for your clothes. The money's on me. Be ready at 4:30 in the afternoon."

"Thanks, Yoh."

"Why with a depressed and gloomy face? Try to smile. You use fewer muscles with a smile rather than a frown.'' Hao lifted Anna's face.

Anna couldn't keep a blush appearing on her face.

"I think I should be going now! See you tomorrow!" Anna waved goodbye and ran off.

'Anna, you just amaze me…'

So that's the sixth chappie. I'm soooo sorry for not updating lately. Got lots of assignments! Anyway, not-so-good chappie..I'll try to make up for the other ones!
