Hey guys! I'm finally back with my update. I'm so sorry for the long wait. I've been really busy with schoolwork and trainings that I don't have time to update. This is by far my longest chapter so I hope that makes you guys happy. Don't forget to read and review! I was really happy to see that I had a lot of reviews for my previous chapter…

Special Thanks to Patto-chan for beta-reading

Chapter 5

Yoh headed to the bookstore and searched for a book that had personality quizzes. After an hour of searching, he finally found it. Good thing he did or else he would have lost his temper.

Yoh rushed home quickly and asked his butler to help him.

"Come on. Let's get this over with" Yoh said impatiently.

"Let's begin, Yoh-sama." The butler said in a quirky voice.

"Go." Yoh said

"Question number one. Which set of colors suits your taste? A. Pastels B. Neutrals C. Neons D. None of the above"

"None"

"Question number two. What would you do if you saw your girlfriend flirting with another guy, what would you do? A. Beat the guy up. B. Pretend that you didn't see anything but want to confirm C. Talk to the girl"

"B"

After what seemed like an eternity, Yoh finally finished answering the quiz. His butler seemed exasperated when they finished. The results though were not quite what Yoh had expected.

"This book lies!" Yoh said angrily

"Yoh-sama, please calm down." The butler said.

"How do you expect me to calm down when this book tells me that my personality is horrible!"

"Wait… there's advice on the next page, sir" The butler pointed out.

Yoh grabbed the book and started reading it aloud.

"You can start by changing the way you dress. Always smile. Try to control your temper more. Act less violently. Engage yourself in sports and other activities. Don't let yourself be affected by little things that irritate you.

As Yoh was reading this, the butler couldn't help but think if this was all possible.

Meanwhile…

Anna and Tamao were working at the bakery.

"I can't believe that he got you off the red tag, Anna!" Tamao said with glee.

"Yeah."

"I wonder why." Tamao asked questioningly.

"I don't know."

"Maybe it's because he felt sorry for you."

"Could be."

"Or maybe because he likes you."

"That's not it."

"It could be a possibility you know…"

"What! That's not true."

"I heard that the F4 has never taken back a red tag."

"Well, times change I guess."

"Admit it, it's most likely that he likes you."

"No…"

"Hey, we have customers."

Anna looked to see who it was and sighed. It was Ren and Horo Horo.

Why them, of all the many people here in Japan?

"Well, look who's here. It's Anna Kyouyama. What are you doing here?" Ren asked

"Working" Anna replied dully

"Oh… Well, you're lucky that I have a craving for cake today and I decided to go here." Horo Horo said.

"Whatever."

"How are you guys doing?" Tamao asked nervously.

"Fine, thank you for asking milady." Ren answered sweetly

"You shouldn't be talking to him, Tamao." Anna said in a rude voice

"Why not?" Tamao looked at Anna in a weird way.

"Because he'll get you into trouble."

"Do you want another red tag?" Horo Horo asked nastily

"No."

"Then be nice. And I want that slice." He pointed to a slice of chocolate cake

Anna rolled her eyes.

"You're lucky Yoh decided to take back your red tag." Horo Horo said after paying for the cake

"Yeah' he's never done that." Ren piped up

"I don't care if he took it back. I could have survived without him taking it back." Anna said defiantly.

"Oh really?" Horo Horo said sarcastically.

"Maybe Yoh took it back because he likes you." Ren said with an evil grin.

"Whatever." Anna said.

"Looks like she doesn't want us around. Come on. Let's go." Ren said, motioning to Horo Horo that they leave.

"Yeah. Later." Horo Horo said.

With that, the two gentlemen left the bakeshop.

"There you go." Tamao said.

"What?" Anna asked

"Even Ren said so."

"Said what?"

"That Yoh might like you."

"Yeah, right." Anna scoffed

"Seriously. It could be true."

"No, it's no true. And even if he did like me, there's no way, I'm going to go out with a jerk like him."

"Come on, Anna. He's cute and rich. What's wrong with that?"

"He may be rich but he's extremely arrogant and egoistic. I don't date guys like him."

Tamao just laughed.

"And what is so funny?"

"It's just that I can imagine you guys together and you do look good together."

"Oh, please…"

"It might happen…"

"Can we just go back to work, please?" Anna said with a tone of annoyance.

"Fine"

A blue-haired girl was staring at them.

The following day, Ren, Horo Horo and Manta were sitting in one of the fields in Tokyo U. Manta was still reading a book and Horo Horo was eating. Ren was busy staring at all the girls passing by.

"I'm bored" Horo Horo complained.

"You're always bored. Why don't you try studying more often?" Manta said.

"Nah. It's just not my thing. I study so I pass my tests."

"Why do you bother?"

"My allowance goes down every time I fail."

"What happens if you get grades better than expected?"

"An increase in allowance of course"

"Oh."

As Horo Horo was about to say something, the bell rang.

The rest of the morning was like a blur…

"Hey, have you seen Yoh?" Ren asked when he met Manta and Horo Horo at lunch.

"Nope, I haven't seen him" Horo Horo said as he opened his locker.

"Hey, what's that hanging on your locker?" Ren asked curiously

Manta and Horo Horo looked and froze

There was a red tag hanging from his locker.

"What the hell is going on here?" Horo Horo screamed aloud.

Loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Be quiet, Horo" Ren said.

"Manta, any ideas?" Horo Horo said.

Manta just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"Hey guys, what's up?" a voice said from behind.

The three looked behind them and saw Yoh standing there. And he was wearing a yellow shirt with a picture of Astroboy on it.

"We thought black was your color. What happened?" Ren asked.

"I just felt like wearing something different today, I guess."

"Yeah, right."

"Really. "

"Could it be that you're trying to impress someone?"

"No."

"Yeah, right."

"Don't make me angry, Ren."

"Maybe you're trying to make yourself cute in front of Anna." Ren snickered.

"Why would I care about Anna?"

"I don't know… Taking back a red card… Wearing bright colored shirts… Hmm… That's not you…"

"I… uh… I did it to be nice."

"I don't believe you!"

"You have to believe me!"

"Let's cut this topic short. Yoh's dressed like this because he likes Anna. There. Now, can we figure out who did this?" Horo Horo said impatiently.

Manta nodded in agreement.

Yoh looked at Horo Horo with a look that said 'I have no idea what you're talking about'

"Okay, Yoh. We got it. You just felt like playing a joke on me. Very funny. I'm laughing right now." Horo Horo said sarcastically.

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about." Yoh said finally.

"What do you mean you don't know what you're talking about! Look!" Ren said pointing to the red tag in Horo Horo's locker.

"Whoa! Wait just a minute here. I didn't do that. I just got here a few minutes ago. But why would anyone dare create a red tag?" Yoh said with a worried look

"But if you didn't do it, then who did?" Manta said in a quizzical tone.

The four of them just stared at each other. They were so absorbed in thinking of who would play such a prank on them that they didn't notice someone slowly creeping from behind.

"So, did you enjoy my little present?"

The four looked and saw a blue-haired girl who looked like Horo Horo standing in front of them.

"Pirika! How dare you do such a thing!" Horo Horo said in an angry tone.

"I just wanted to surprise you because I'm studying here now." Pirika said gleefully.

"You're not studying abroad anymore?"

"Nope."

"Sorry to interrupt but who is this girl, Horo?" Yoh asked.

"Oops. I almost forgot. Guys, this is Pirika, my half-sister."

"Half-sister!"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I never got around to telling you guys, I guess. My dad met her mom right after my folks got divorced when I was still a baby. She's three years younger than us but she got accelerated twice."

Pirika bowed to them.

"Actually, if you guys look at your lockers, you'll see something for you as well." Pirika said with an evil grin.

So the other three scurried to their lockers and saw red tags hanging inside as well. By the time they went back to Horo Horo and Pirika, Pirika was laughing so much that her face was getting red.

"Get a hold of yourself, Pirika" Horo Horo said.

"Yeah, yeah. No need to be so worried, Horo" Pirika said with a grin.

"Ooh. Who knew Horo Horo was a responsible brother?" Ren said to Yoh.

"Yeah. I didn't know that" Yoh replied and the two were snickering.

"I think it's a nice gesture" Manta said.

"Yeah, that's the right thing to do, Manta. Stick up for me!" Horo Horo said triumphantly.

"So, you're a year younger than us?" Manta asked Pirika.

"Yes, I am. I'm so excited!" Pirika said happily.

"Hold on, Pirika. Before I forget. When did you arrive from France?" Horo Horo asked.

"Yesterday but dad already enrolled me in so I can just go to school with no worries."

"How come I didn't see you?"

"Because I was following you around yesterday without you knowing. I stayed over at my friend's house last night and I ordered everyone at home not to tell you."

"And this is your idea of a surprise?"

"Yup. I haven't seen you in such a long time, Horo. I guess I just missed you and wanted to get back at all those nasty pranks you did."

"Well, I guess we're even then."

"Not quite."

Yoh, Manta and Ren were getting bored and hungry so they silently walked away leaving Horo Horo and Pirika to their business.

"What do you mean not quite?" Horo Horo asked.

"That's not enough payment for what you did" Pirika replied.

"Whatever. Let's go have lunch."

"Wait a minute. Where are your friends?"

"They must have gone ahead."

"Oh. Okay"

"Shall we?"

Pirika nodded.

And they went off to lunch.

After school, Pirika was looking around so she could choose what she wanted for an extracurricular activity. She considered the cheering squad but she didn't want to strain herself too much. She thought of joining the choir but she couldn't sing. She wasn't into astronomy or space. She wasn't too fond of science either. But she wanted an activity that required logical thinking and made her aware of current events. Not to mention mingling with other people.

She smiled and headed for a classroom that had a big banner.

'Debate try-outs today'

Yup, I think I've come to the right place

"You what!" Horo Horo asked angrily.

"I tried out for the debate team" Pirika said

"You shouldn't have!"

"Why not!"

"Because the debate team is consisted of nerds and geeks. That's why." Yoh answered.

"Yeah. What he said." Horo Horo agreed

"And why would a pretty girl like you bury yourself in books and current events like those geeks?" Ren asked.

"Watch it, Ren." Manta said in a warning tone.

"Nothing against you, Manta."

"No offense taken."

"Yeah. Come on, Pirika. That'll destroy my image." Horo Horo said.

"No, it won't." Pirika answered in a defensive tone.

"Why didn't you try out for the cheering squad instead?"

"I didn't want to… And besides the cheering squad is filled with…"

"Forget it. Let's go." Horo Horo cut her sentence off.

"Where?"

"Somewhere we can buy food."

"Didn't you just eat?"

"I'm still hungry."

"Fine. Are you guys coming?" Pirika asked the others.

"Sure." The other three followed.

"So you tried out for the debate team?" Tamao asked. They were as usual, working at the bakeshop.

"Yeah. It's my first choice for extracurricular activity" Anna said.

"Wow… I have no idea what I want to join."

"Well, you don't have to pick one anyway. It's not a requirement."

"Yeah but I want to do something on the days that we're not working."

"You have a point there."

"So why join debate?"

"Huh?"

"I asked why you decided to try out for the debate team."

"I don't know"

"Maybe you saw someone you like there."

"No… I wanted to give it a shot."

"Right."

"Why do you always question my answers?"

"I don't know. Just an instinct I guess."

"Whatever."

"We have customers."

Normally, it would have been a bunch of old ladies or a group of high schoolers who would step in but today, it was the F4 who entered. Along with them was a blue-haired girl Anna had seen before but she couldn't place where. There were too many things on her mind.

"We meet again, Anna." Yoh said.

"Are you here to buy something or are you here just to disturb me?" Anna said nastily.

"Horo Horo wanted to eat so we're here."

"Oh. So what's with the shirt?"

"I just felt like wearing something else. Do you like it?"

"No. It looks horrible on you." Anna said with an evil grin.

"You're just saying that but deep inside you're thinking that I look good in it."

"No. You really do look silly in it." Anna was trying to hide her smile.

The other three snickered.

Tamao and Pirika just stared at them.

"Come on, admit it." Yoh went on.

"Admit what?"

"That you think I'm irresistible and you like me."

"Why would I think that?" Anna asked. She was trying to stop herself from laughing out loud.

"Because it's true."

"Yeah, right."

"Admit it now."

"Why am I going to admit something that's not true?"

"I know you want me." Yoh said airily.

"Please. You're just a waste of time." Anna rolled her eyes. She had finally managed to stop herself from laughing out loud.

"How can you say that? You don't even know me". Yoh said defensively.

"Hmm… I'll guess. You're arrogant. You get ticked off when you don't get your way. You think you're hot but really you're not. You think you can get away with everything. You think money can buy everything. Everyone fears you. In fact, you're quite insecure about friends because you fear that one day, your friends will just abandon you and you'll be left all alone. Am I right?" Anna said counting the traits using her fingers.

"…"

"I guess it's true then."

"No, you're wrong!" Yoh was slowly losing his temper.

"Look who's so angry now." Anna said coolly.

"I think I was wrong about taking back that red tag." Yoh said in a warning tone.

"Really?" Anna said sarcastically.

The two were glaring at each other.

"Okay. We'll cut this short now. Forget this happened, Yoh. Come on Horo. Let's go." Ren snapped.

"But…" Horo Horo said.

"No buts."

"I haven't bought anything yet." Horo Horo whined.

"We'll buy somewhere else. If we don't leave soon, there might be chaos here. Sorry for the trouble." Ren said quickly.

And with that, they left.

"Thank god they're gone." Anna said.

"Did you have to be so mean to him?" Tamao said in a sad tone.

"He deserves it."

"You're hopeless." Tamao said with a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"You're never going to be nice to him, are you?"

"I will if he decides to deflate his head."

"So you're going to wait for him to start acting nicer before you act nicer?"

"Yeah." Anna said dully

"That's mean."

"No, it's not."

"Is too!" Tamao yelled.

"Is not!" Anna yelled back.

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Oh forget it!" Anna said quickly before anything else came out of her mouth.

Tamao just sighed.

"The nerve!" Yoh said angrily.

"Well, you started it" Ren said. They were sipping tea in an outdoor café. Manta was tutoring kids and Horo Horo had to do something with Pirika.

"I did not!"

"You shouldn't have made that comment."

"What comment?"

"The one about how you think she likes you."

"Well, I think she does."

"I think she doesn't and why are you after her anyways?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I don't know why I'm attracted to her"

""What do you see in her?"

"I have no idea."

"No idea? At all?" Ren sputtered.

"None at all."

"This is absurd. You like a girl but have no idea what makes you like her?"

"Yeah. The first time I saw her in class, I felt something. I don't know what."

"Really?" Ren said sarcastically

"Yeah."

"What did you feel?" Ren was surprised Yoh had this tendency to be this dense.

Yoh thought for a moment then answered "I don't know."

Ren just sighed.

"What?"

"You're hopeless."

"So sue me for that."

"You really have no clue?"

"If I did then I would have answered your questions ages ago."

"Fine. I hope you figure that out and when you figure out the answers to my questions, let me know."

"Gotcha."

"By the way, I never got around to asking you but why did you take back Anna's red tag?"

"I don't know. I just felt that I had to take it back. When I saw her being tortured by those guys, I felt sorry for her and just had to save her."

"And what was her reaction?"

"She said she didn't need my help."

"Let me guess what happened next. You said something egoistic about yourself and she got angry and you guys started arguing"

"How did you figure that out?"

"Sometimes, you're so predictable. For the long time that I've known you, you have the tendency to act so egoistic in front of girls. Maybe that's why Anna seems to hate you."

"Probably. But she's the only girl who's resisted me."

Ren sighed and said "There he goes again."

So they just sipped their tea in silence.
