A/N -Hello again, peoples! This is a really crappy chapter, but it foreshadows, so please don't be mad at me for it.
Chapter Three: Why Pirika?
With Horohoro and Lyserg...
"Okay, we got the ten bags ofmicrowaveable popcorn, five bags of chips, twelve cases of soda, six boxes of doughnuts, seven tubs of different flavors of ice cream, ten jumbo bags of candy, and aresol whipping cream," Horohoro listed off the items as he pointed to them in his, and Lyserg's, arms, (yeah, I know, they got big arms, tee hee) "Are we missing anything?"
"No, I think we got it all," Lyserg said, grinning.
"Alright, then," Horo said,thenpointing towards the ceiling, he declared,"TO THE CHECKOUT!"
Horohoro, and Lyserg, lined up at the cashier, but when the person in front of them got to the head of the head, he went all ga-ga over the checkout girl.
"DUDE!" Horohoro shouted, getting annoyed, "The title 'checkout girl' refers to you checking out your items not the girl!"
"Horohoro?" The guy wondered aloud, and when he turned to face Horo, and Lyserg, the aniu and the green haired shaman almost fell over.
"Ryu?" Horo asked, looking up at the face of one of his shaman friends.
"Hello, my young friend, how are you?" Ryu asked his friend, raising his hand in greeting.
"Good, Ryu, how are you?" Lyserg answered.
"Fine, my friend," Ryu answered, smiling.
"Are you buying something, or not, sir?" The checkout girl asked, in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Ryu apologized, turnign to the lady, he then paid for his this, which happened to be hair gel and black shades. (couldn't think of anything else XP), then waited for Horohoro, and Lyserg to pay for their things at the end of the cashier line.
"So, how is that pretty sister of yours, my friend?" Ryu asked Horohoro.
"She's okay...I guess..." Horohoro said, his voice trailing off, "I really don't know anymore."
"And why is that?" Ryu asked, as the three headed for the front door of the store.
"She doesn't tell me anything, I'm only trying to look out for her," Horohoro said, sounding as those he felt he had to defend himself.
"We all know you are, my friend," Ryu said, hinting that Horo didn't need to defend himself.
Horo sighed, then looked to the sky as they got outside, "Whatshould I do? I can't protect her, if she won't let me."
"Protection is a hard thing to give, my friend," Ryu explained thoughtfully.
"It's like she doesn't want to be protected, it's like she waiting till she gets hurt to be protected," Horo guessed, then addded, "And I just don't get it!"
"Calm down, Horo, my friend," Ryu said, "Maybe you shouldn't try to protect so much."
"Yeah," Lyserg said, entering the conversation, "But, she's so innocent, and you know Hao, that is exactly the kind of person he likes to hurt."
"Yeah, Ryu," Horohoro said, "What about Hao and his little buddies!"
"Well, I can't say that Pirika wouldn't be a target, but if try to protect her to much, she'll, more then likely, get mad and run off, which will put her in more danger, so lay off. Not completely, but some."
"Yeah, I guess I should," Horohoro admitted, stopping in mid-walk to turn and face his elvis-looking friend.
"HOROHORO!"
Horohoro jumped, almost dropping the bags of junk food he was carrying, at the sound of his name being called so frantically. He turned on his heels and saw Manta rushing towards them.
"Manta, my short little friend," Ryu greeted with a wave.
"Not now, Ryu," Manta huffed, as he came to a stop in front of Horo, out of breth fromrunning,"Horo, it's your sister, Pirika!"
Horohoro's eyes widened in concern, he grabbed Manta by the front of the shirt and shook him like a maniac, "WHAT? Manta, what about my sister?"
Manta tried to answer, but Horohoro was shaking him too hard, Ryu noticed this and stepped forward and wrenched Horohoro off of Manta, then asked, "So, what is this about Horo's sister?"
"She said she tripped," Manta started in an uncertain voice, then explained about Pirika, and how bad she was hurt.
Horo looked worried enough to cry, he dropped the bags and took offat a run, but Ryu grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Dude, I have to get to my sister," Horo yelled.
"I know," Ryu said, then pointed over his shoulder to where his motorcycle was, "And I, also, know that wheels are faster then feet. Now, come on, I'll take you to your sister."
"Thanks, Ryu," Horohoro said hurrying to the side of Ryu's motorcycle, then jumped in the side car. Ryu climbed on the, and put on his odd shaped helmet, then past an extra, normal looking one, to Horohoro, who jammed it on his head, rather harshly.
Ryu, then, started up his bike, when Manta shouted, "Ryu! Pirika's at Jun's house."
Ryu nodded that he had heard him, and repeated it, "At Lady Jun's, got it my little friend," and he set off through the parking lot.
After Horohoro, and Ryu, were out of sight, Manta picked up the bags that Horohoro had dropped, then turned to Lyserg, who seemed to be in a mild state of shock.
"You okay, Lyserg?" Manta asked.
"Yeah, it's just," Lyserg answered shakily, then added, "Why Pirika?"
Manta stared at him for a moment, then asked, "Lyserg, do you have a crush on Pirika?"
Lyserg eyes snapped to Manta, then he blushed a light pink, and answered, "Well, yeah, I guess."
"Then shouldn't you be going to see if she's alright, too?" Manta asked, pointing out to where Ryu's motorcycle had disappeared.
Lyserg was silent for a moment, then took off. Manta grinned slightly, then followed.
