A/N -With or Without Lemons? That is the question I'm asking you! Please tell me in your reviews!

Chapter Two: What's With The Screaming?

"Whoa! Pirika calm down!" The voice said, and placed a hand on her other shoulder, "Pirika, it's me, Yoh, Yoh Asakura!"

Pirika who had had her eyes closed, opened them to find herself looking into the concerned eyes of her friend, Yoh.

"Are you okay Pirika?" Yoh asked.

"Yea..Yeah, I'm fine," Pirika lied, but Yoh, being the type of guy he was,believed her without question...almost.

"Are you sure?" You asked, as he stood from his crouched position and held out a hand to Pirika.

Pirika shakily took Yoh's hand and Yoh pulled her up.

"Thanks Yoh, but I'm okay, now," Pirika said, but once Yoh let go of her hand, Pirika collapsed to the ground.

"Okay, Pirika, you are not okay," Yoh declared, then he crouched down again, his back to Pirika, "Here, get on my back,I'll carry you."

"That's not necessary," Pirika said, not being to keen on letting a guy carry her on his back only a few seconds after she had been raped.

"So, you want to sit in this alley all day?" Yoh asked.

"Okay," Pirika said, worried that if she stayed in the alley the man would come back and rape her once more.

So, Yoh took Pirika by the arm and pulled her onto his back, and stood up, then walked out of the alleyway top the street.

"Yoh!" A male voice called, and, again, Pirika started to scream, and, unfortunatly for Yoh, his ear got the full blast, and he cringed.

"Pirika! It's just Manta and Anna!" Yoh shouted over her screams

Pirika stopped screaming and saw that Yoh was right. Manta, and Anna, were walking towards them, looks of worried shock on their faces.

"What happened to you, Pirika?" Manta asked.

"I..I tripped," Pirika lied.

"Then what's with the screaming?" Anna asked.

"Well, you know," Pirika said, thinking fast, "with Horohoro saying that Hao lurks around every corner, what do you expect?"

"Yeah," Manta agreed, nodding, "I see your point."

"Well, then, let's get going," Yoh said, he, then, looked over his shoulder at Pirika, and added, "By the way, Pirika?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for asking you about your brother before asking about you, I didn't mean to upset you." Yoh said, and Pirika gave him a small smile.

"That's okay."

Yoh smiled back and led the way, with Pirika on his back, through the town.

"Wait, Yoh?" Pirika asked.

"Yeah?" Yoh replied.

"Where are we going?"

"There's a clinc down the street,"

"A clinc? I don't need a clinc, I'm fine!"

"So you consider a bleeding skull 'fine'?" Anna asked.

"Bleeding skull?" Yoh asked, then looked up at Pirika and saw a little of the blood that was coming from the wound in the back of her head, "Man, I didn't even notice that!"

"Don't worry, it's not that bad," Pirika insisted.

"Anna! Is that you?" A female voice called out; Yoh and Manta both readied themselves for the scream from Pirika, but it never came.

"Is Hao a chick?" Anna asked.

"No," Yoh said, them smiled, "But that would be halarious!"

Yoh and Manta burst out laughing as Anna rolled her eys and looked for who had called her name. Then she spotted Jun Tao, along with her younger brother, Ren, just down the street outside a shop, Jun's arms were full of bags, and Ren's were crossed over his chest in annoyance, and had his trademark scowl on his face.

Anna waved and started towards the two, Manta followed, and Yoh, after hoisting Pirika higher onto his back, did the same.

"Pirika! Oh my gosh!" Jun exclaimed, when she realized who was on Yoh's back, she dropped her bags into Ren's arms, who groaned, as Jun dashed forward to Pirika, "What happen to you?"

Pirika, who was now only semi-concious, due to the amount of blood loss, looked at Jun, and, in a weak, and low, voice, answered, "Tripped."

"You tripped and got hurt that bad?" Ren's voice entered the conversation, Pirika glanced at him, afriad that he had figured out that she was lying, but all he said was, "What an idiot!"

"Well, come on," Jun said, starting to walk away down the street, "I have a chinese cream that can help heal that head of yours."

"Wouldn't it be better to just go to a doctors?" Yoh asked.

"Not unless you want to wait for hours on end," Jun said, Yoh looked puzzled, "There was a fight in town, and there was quite a few people hurt, so they're all crowding up the clincs and hospitals."

"Damn," Yoh swore lightly.

"Come on, now," Jun said, pulling Yoh by the forearm,"We can go to mine and Ren's house."

"Why our house?" Ren shouted in anger, dropping the bags into Manta's unsuspecting arms.

"Because that's where my Chinese Remeady Kit is," Jun answered.

"You have to pick on the little guy, don't you?" Manta complained, his vision obsured by the bags.

"Manta?" A voice asked, and Manta felt some of the weight come off his arms. After one more bag was lifted, leaving one in Manta's arms, Manta realized it was Tamra that had picked up the others.

"Hey, Tamara," Manta greeted, as held held onto the one bag in his hand, "and thanks."

"No problem," Tamara brushed off the thanks, "But what are you doing out in town alone, aren't you usually hanging with Yoh?"

"What I am, he's right-" Manta laughed, then stopped when when he saw that Yoh wasn't where he was pointing, Manta's head swivelled, "Hey, where'd they go?"

"Manta? Come on!" Yoh's voice called from down the street.

Manta looked towards Yoh and saw that everyone was waiting for him, "I'm coming, what about you Tamara?"

Tamara turned to look at the group, and almost immediately blushed a deep crimson, Manta grinned at her, "Still have the hots for Yoh, huh?"

Tamara looked at Manta and shook her head, Manta looked surprised, as she whispered sadly, "No, he has Anna."

"Then, what's with the blushing?" Manta asked, looking at her curiously, as they both walked down the street towards the group.

Tamara looked around, then leaned over towards Manta and whispered, "Ren."

Manta stopped and looked at Tamara as though she was nuts, "Ren?"

"What?" A voice asked.

Manta looked forward and saw that he and Tamara had reached the group, Ren was giving Manta a dark glare.

"Why the hell did you say my name?" Ren asked with a scowl.

"Me?" Manta asked, "I didn't say your name."

Ren's eyes narrowed, but just as he opened his mouth to speak another voice half-shrieked, "Pirika! Oh my gosh!"

Tamararan over to Yoh, and Pirika, and looked at Pirika inextreme concern,"What happened, Pirika,are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm-" Pirika huffed out before collapsing due to the loss of blood.

"Pirika!" Tamara shouted, she shook Pirika, trying to wake her up, but to no avail.

"Come on, Yoh," Jun urged him, and led the way down the street that led to her, and Ren's home. Yoh rushed after, and the others followed.

"Wait," Manta called as they all continued to run, "shouldn't someone tell Horohoro?"

"Thank you for voleenteering, Manta," Anna said, "That's really sweet of you."

Manta was about to point out that he hadn't voleenteer, but thought better of it, at the thought of Pirika being so badly hurt. Tamara took the bag he had been carrying, and he turned and took off through the town in search of Horohoro.

A/N -Who likes Lemons? Yes, I'm asking you here, too. If you do I'll try to put some in this story, but if I get more people saying they don't then I won't put them in. Okay? So tell me, in your reviews whether or not you like them. I was planning to, but I won't if the majoraity (sp?) don't want it. Byes for now!
