DarkTaoAngel: Yeah, I know, I need to update! But I just thought that I would experiment with this couple for a while, and plus, it annoys my friend! I promise to update, so please put in a review telling me which story to do, and I will update it first! Oh, by the way, thanks so much to those who reviewed my previous story, 'When it Rains it Pours', and for telling me the difference between RenHoro and HoroRen! This one goes out to you!
Another day at the Asakura residence had come, with Anna being her usual bossy self. She had assigned each and every person at the Inn to do a series of 'tasks', ranging from household chores to deadly training. Even the people who were just visiting had to do them, which included, but were not limited to, Ren and Horohoro.
Yoh was told to train, running laps and such for hours on end. Rio was forced to clean some of the foulest places inside and outside of the Inn. Each person was given a task, until there were only two people left: Ren and Horo.
Anna decided to assign Ren and Horo laundry duties. Now, Ren was not about to do chores in his own house, let alone someone else's; but Anna could be very persuasive if she wanted to be, and soon even Ren was forced to work.
Hours later, after having to do piles upon piles of laundry to no end, for what seemed to be years of built up, undone laundry, the progress Ren and Horo were making was not going very well. It appeared that they had been arguing almost the whole time, and so not much work had gotten done. But Ren was not about to admit defeat, and he wanted it to be a job well done, so as to give himself a better 'image'.
Ren began rummaging through the clothes, sorting it out until much of it was done. He then proceeded to take the white clothes to the washer, an armful at a time because Anna was too cheap to buy something to carry them in. Horo just watched as Ren made his way quickly through the piles of clothing, until an idea struck him. If he could not get Ren to pay attention to him, then he would just have to stop Ren from working. And so, Horo stuck out his foot just as Ren came by with yet another pile of clothes.
Ren tripped, spilling clothes everywhere. But just before he landed, Ren grabbed onto Horo's shirt, taking him down with himself. Horo landed first, posing as a cushion for Ren as he fell, right on top of him. But then the most embarrassing thing happened, as Ren landed on Horo, and their lips met for a brief moment.
They both closed their eyes for a moment, but on realizing what they were doing, Ren quickly jumped off of Horo, turning so as to hide the slight blush that had crept over his face.
"What did you do that for?" Ren asked in a sharp tone, still not looking at Horo.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault! And so what? Accidents happen." Horo said, trying his best to hide a smile that was spreading over him.
Ren growled at him, shouting a few insults in Chinese, still not looking at him.
"Whatever, let's just get back to work." Horo said, picking up a few more clothing items in his hands and tossing them quickly into the washing machine. Ren quickly followed suit, but soon came up with a plan, something that was sure to be much more fun then washing clothes.
And so, sticking out his foot, Ren tripped Horo easily and, just as he had expected, Horo grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him down with him. And, just like before, their lips met once again. But this time, the kiss lasted a lot longer, to the point that when the two broke apart, they were both panting. They were both blushing furiously, though Ren was almost laughing this time.
"What was that for?" Horo asked, fighting back laughter himself as he looked at Ren, noticing his blush.
"Hey, accidents happen."
DarkTaoAngel: Sorry, but it was a bit rushed. Hope you like it!
