Note: This is the same day as the previous chapter. Class just ended and now, everyone is getting ready to go home... Well except for the boys volleyball team since they have try outs and all. And for all of you... Thanks for the reviews! You will find out who sent Anna the roses and note and stuff... Oh yah... I forgot about poor little Manta! He really is short because I seem to have forgotten all about him! Sorry Manta! You will be added in this chapter!

Chapter 6- Sweet Valentine Part 2

The bell for 8th period finally rang and school was over. Anna sighed with relief. She had tons to do over the weekend. Well not really... Just a phone call home which could last anywhere from an hour to the next morning and homework... She got up slowly, zipped up her book bag and walked over to Tamao's seat.

"Ready to go?" She asked.

"Well, we were planning to watch the boys at the tryouts." She told her. "You want to come? It shouldn't last very long." Anna shrugged. Why not? She didn't want to go home yet anyway.

"Ok." She said as Pirika hopped over.

"I can't wait to see Onii-Chan suffer!" She squealed.

"I will not suffer. I am a pro at beach volleyball." Horo said confidently.

"If you are then don't you think you would be leader of the team instead of Hao and Yoh?" Pirika asked. She did have a point though.

"I only allowed them to be captain so that they can have all the hard work." Horo told her.

"You are bluffing." They turned to see Ren, arm folded and chuckling. "You can't even beat me and you say you are a pro." Pirika nodded.

"Yah. Ren-Kun was so close to becoming co-captain. Onii-Chan, you got kicked out at the first round!" She said pointing at her brother. Horo turned pink.

"I was sick that day!" He yelled.

"Hey, come on!" Macchi yelled as she walked to the door. "You're going to be late!" They all rushed out of the room and to their lockers.

"So you plan to watch us?" Yoh asked Anna as they walked to their locker. Surprisingly, her locker was right next to his... Amazing is it not? Anna nodded.

"Yah. Since the others are staying, I might as well stay too." She told him as she spun the combination of her lock and clicked her locker open. Yoh smiled.

"I wonder if coach will make me play again. It is seriously cutting my nap time." He said as he spun the combination of her lock. Anna rolled her eyes and then heard a yelp. She turned her head to see Yoh tackled down by a whole mountain of chocolates falling out of his locker. Watching Yoh swim his way out of the chocolates, Anna sweat dropped. Wow... He must have a lot of fans... Then again, anyone as gorgeous as him would wouldn't he?

"I know I like chocolate but..." Yoh stuck him head out of the pile of chocolate. "This is just too much!" Anna laughed.

"Well you better start eating or cupid will shoot an arrow at you and make you fall in love with them." She said teasingly as she opened her locker. She let out a small yelp as well as chocolate fell from her locker, tackling her to the ground. How they got there and how they could all fit in there was beyond Anna. Yoh laughed.

"You should start eating too." He told her. Anna let out a giggle and shook her head. "Ow..." A medium sized box of chocolates fell on her head. Anna rubbed her head. "Who sent me a box of chocolate this big and heavy?" She muttered picking up the box and totally ignoring the mountain of chocolates surrounding her.

"I did." She looked up to see Yoh brushing himself off. Anan blinked.

"Huh?"

"I sent you those." Yoh said with a grin. "Like?" Anna blushed. Sweet of him... Did he... Anna quickly brushed the next though out of her mind as she set the box of chocolates down.

"So... who sent the rest of them?" She asked looking around. Yoh shrugged.

"Fans? Girls, boys, teachers? Who knows?" He said and stretched his arm out to pull Anna up.

"Who would have guessed that you would be so popular and you just transferred here." He said with a light laugh. Anna blushed a bit harder.

"Well... It is school... And there is a thing called gossip." She told him as she brushed herself off. Yoh nodded.

"Yah, gossip... Things go around the school pretty quickly. Especially if Aniki spreads the rumors." Anna nodded and gulped.

"What are we suppose to do about this?" She asked looking at the mountains of chocolate. Yoh shrugged.

"Eat them?" He asked laughing. Anna rolled her eyes.

"No way. You can but I don't want to be fat, fat, fat." She told him. Yoh shrugged as he picked one up, unwrapped it and popped it in his mouth.

"Mmmm, chocolate." He said grinning. Anna laughed.

"Enough chocolate boy. Don't you have volley ball practice?" Yoh froze.

"Oh shit. I forgot all about it." He let out a small sigh. "Coach will make me run laps for this."

"Better start running." Anna told him. Yoh nodded and jumped out of the mountain of chocolates.

"Thanks for reminding me Anna! I owe you one!" He yelled running off. Anna smiled, watching him run off. She turned and accidentally kicked a box of chocolates. She bent over and picked it up. It was the same exact one that... painfully fell on her head. She saw a little tag and looked at it. Yoh was indeed telling he the truth. He did send them to her... Anna blushed. How sweet of him. She quickly slipped it in her bag and stepped out of the mess in the hall. She had to get a broom from someplace and quick. She rushed to the janitor's office, grabbed a broom and rushed back to her locker, which was still surrounded by the mountains of chocolate.

She felt stupid sweeping chocolate but what else could she do? She let out a sigh when they were finally in a bunch and wondered what to do with them. There was too much to eat alone... Anna smiled when she thought of a great idea. She swept them all into a garbage bag... Yes a garbage bag since it was the only thing that could fit all of the chocolate and dragged it along with her to the volley ball field.

"Ok, you all know the rules. Once you get 7 points, you are on the team." The coach said blowing his whistle. "Now Tao, your up first." Ren nodded and stepped out. You could hear girls screaming from the bleachers.

"Go Ren! Go get em, Ren!" They yelled. Pirika was one of them of course.

"Rennnnnnnn-kunnnnnnnn!" She yelled. She was one of the loudest to be exact which was pretty embarrassing. Ren looked up at his opponent in front of him. It was a boy with golden blond hair, kind of like Mari's and he was not very tall.

"Let's get this started." The coach yelled blowing his whistle. Horo nodded and fluttered the flags he was holding. This was definitely not one of his favorite jobs but it was better then sitting in the sun with the other players.

"Game 1, Tao vs. Prester." He announced. The game was on. Ren served a high ball, knowing at the sun was in his favor. Once this boy looks up, he would be blinded by the sun's light... Just as Ren suspected, the boy did look up and missed the shot. Ren smirked. This boy had barely any experience.

"Tao point." Horo yelled, slipping on his shades. He smirked. He looked pretty cool up here; add the shades and he was HOTT! Tamao blushed a bit watching Horo up there... As for the other girls, they all squealed that Ren had gotten the point and that Horo was looking cool/Hott up there. Ren served again, making another high ball but this time, his opponent came prepared. He had slipped on his shades and was ready to counter... Not that was much of a threat to Ren... Compared to the others, he was pretty much a pro.

"Oh, my aching back." Anna muttered as she dragged the bag outside. Maybe she should have just left the bag in the garbage. She sighed and paused. "Yup... Valentines day is forever the best day." She muttered angrily. She heard a light laugh and turn to see Hao behind her with an amused look on his face.

"Need help?" He asked taking the bag from her hand. "So this is how much chocolate them threw in your locker huh?" Anna nodded.

"Why do they do that?" She asked. "Is it a prank or something?" Hao shook his head.

"It's kind of like mystery cupid but no cupid to deliver it." He told her. "No prank. They are just from people who like you and all. Kind of like your fans." Anna nodded.

"I see..." She then paused. "I have fans?" Hao laughed.

"Hard to believe eh?" He asked. "It's true. This may be a big school but news travel around fast and first impressions are very important in this school." Anna nodded. Aren't they always in every school?

"You were lucky you made it to the volleyball team." Hao continued. "You wouldn't last in the popularity level in this school with your good looks and body alone." Anna blushed. Did he just say she looked hott?

"Anyway, you think you can take it from here? I'm really late." Hao told her. Anna nodded and took the bag from him.

"Thanks." She told him. "I owe you one." Hao smiled.

"Then meet me at the park around 5." He told her as he ran off. Anna's face flushed. Did he just ask her out? This was like a dream come true! Hao... the most popular guy in school asked her out! What were the odds? She had read books about stuff like this but never thought that it would actually happen. Anna shook her head and started walking towards the volleyball court.

"Game, set! Tao Ren wins." Horo yelled out. The girls all cheered loudly as Ren turned and walked back over to his teammates with a smirk. Easy victory for him, not to mention a good warm up and work out. The coach blew his whistle.

"Asakura, you are late." He yelled. Hao grinned a little.

"Sorry coach. Won't happen again." He told him.

"I better not now take a seat." The coach said and turned to Yoh. "Your up." Yoh let out a whining cry.

"But I just came!" He wined.

"And I just lost the lottery, you don't see me complaining now let's go!" He yelled as he somewhat kicked Yoh to the court. Yoh sniffed.

"Fine, fine I'll go." He muttered. The girls all yelled out at once, even louder then the time they yelled when Ren was on the court.

"Yoh! We are all cheering for you! Go Yoh!" They yelled, holding up their banners and posters. Everyone sweat dropped. Well what could you expect from one of the most popular guys in school right? Yoh scratched the back of his head, unsure where his opponent was. He looked around and then up at Horo who pointed to the ground. Yoh blinked and looked down to see a small boy who looked like a 3rd grader or so with light brown hair.

"M-Manta!" He gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"Yoh-Kun!" Manta looked up at his old friend. "Long time no see. I just transferred this semester." Yoh smiled.

"Cool!" He yelled. The coach blew the whistle again.

"I hate to break up the reunion but we got tryouts to finish up so can you talk later and play now?" He asked. Yoh and Manta nodded.

"But Manta... Aren't you... You know..." Yoh scratched his head again. "Too short to play?" Manta smirked and eyed him.

"You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover Yoh-Kun." He told Yoh who gulped.

"Game 2, Asakura vs. Oymada." Horo yelled. Yoh served the ball over the net and Manta hit it back smoothly. Yoh smiled as he smacked the ball back. He let out a pretty small gasp when Manta spiked the ball back to him. Yoh fell to the ground with the funniest expression on his face. All the girls gasped with a concerned look on their faces. Was Yoh going to be ok?

"Y-Yoh-Kun! D-Daijoubu?" Manta asked running to his friend. "The ball didn't hit you that hard did it?" Yoh rubbed his head.

"Not really..." He mumbled. The coach blew his whistle.

"That's enough." He told them. "Please take a seat Manta." Manta nodded and he helped his friend get up and walk over to the others.

"Nice one there Manta. I think you knocked some sense back into by brother." Hao said with a laugh. Yoh made a face.

"That's not a nice thing to say." He said with a frown.

"Yoh-kun, are you really ok?" Manta asked. Yoh grinned.

"Daijoubu." He said with an assuring smile. "You surprised me. I didn't know you could jump that high."

"I know. Which is good for an advantage. People don't usually think short people like me could jump that high." Manta said proudly.

"You could say that again." Yoh said laughing.

"Anna! Anna over here!" Pirika yelled. Anna rushed over to her.

"What's with the bag of chocolates?" Macchi asked when she finally reached them.

"It fell out from my locker." Anan told them.

"Cool. I didn't' know so much could fit inside one locker." Pirika said with a smile. "I got a lot too." Macchi nodded.

"We all did." She pointed to the bags of chocolate behind them that was a size of 3 garbage cans... Literally. Anna's mouth dropped.

"Wow... That's a lot of chocolate." She said looking at them and then placed her bag next to theirs.

"Tell me about it." Pirika said rolling her eyes.

"But it's good to know that people love you." Macchi said grinning.

"Mari likes Chocolate." Mari said quickly as she bit into her heart shaped milk chocolate. Tamao nodded.

"Me too." She unwrapped a chocolate lollypop and bit into the chocolate.

"So what happened so far?" Anna asked taking a seat next to them.

"Ren and Yoh had just played." Tamao told her. "Ren won and Yoh surprisingly lost."

"Who did Yoh lose to?" Anna asked.

"Oh his old pal." Macchi said with a shrug. "Oymada Manta." Anna looked at the tiny boy who was sitting next to Yoh and was laughing. Her mouth dropped.

"Him?" She asked. They nodded.

"It's a surprise cause we would never expect a short guy like Manta to be able to win but look at it now... He won!" Macchi said with a laugh.

"Mari thinks he won by luck." Mari said studying Manta.

"Whatever, the try outs are almost done." Pirika told them. They all looked back at the court.

The coach blew the whistle for the umpteenth time.

"Asakura, your up." He said motioning Hao to go onto the field. "After him, the tryouts are done." Hao sighed and got up. He knew who he was playing against and loved to see how this game was going to end. He smirked as he looked at his opponent walk out. Lyserg Diethel... Oh how he loved picking on him back in the day... No scratch that... He still does. God knows why he wants to join the beach volley ball team now but Hao never cared much. Probably to try and get revenge. Hao chuckled lightly to himself. Revenge. What a funny thought. If Lyserg even dares touch him...

Lyserg looks up and sees his sworn enemy, Asakura Hao. Lyserg gasps and glares.

"Asakura Hao!" He yelled. Hao smirked, the same was he always does.

"Why hello Lyserg. I didn't know you were trying out." He said, ever so innocently. Lyserg's glare deepened.

"I will make you pay for those times you picked on me." He muttered angrily. Hao lifted his eye brow.

"Really now?" He asked thinking back to elementary school. He use to always pick on poor Lyserg and always took his stupid pendulum and hide it somewhere. He remembered seeing Lyserg cry and cry because he couldn't find it. Hao would just laugh and throw it in front of him and laugh in his face. Yoh always thought that was mean and was always helping Lyserg out but Hao just found it plain fun. Hao would be... what you would call... Well what Lyserg would call a bully. Then in Junior High, Hao would always spread rumors about him and pick on him even more. Oh the good old days... Hao could just pick on Lyserg again but he had a better idea to make Lyserg tick off. He could easily go after the thing/one he cares most about... In this point, it's not his pendulum anymore... Not that Lyserg doesn't like it anymore but it's Jeanne. Hao smirked. This should be fun to tease...

"Gamer 5, Asakura vs. Diethel." Horo announced. Hao smirked as he served. It was an intense game but Hao of course... ended up winning without a doubt... Only because he kept pissing Lyserg off.

"Game, set. Asakura Hao wins." Horo said taking his shades off and jumped down. All the girls cheered for Hao's victory and rushed over to him.

"Wow Hao. Great game!" One yelled.

"Yes, you were great!" Another yelled out.

"Here, you can wipe your sweat off of this." Another said handing him a... thin blanket... thingy.

"Are you hungry?" Another asked.

"I'll get you something." Another yelled.

"No I will!"

"No me!"

"No. You can't trust them Hao. Let me get the food for you." The girls just kept arguing and everyone around them sweat dropped.

"Hey come on." Hao said trying to calm them down. "I already got that part planned out. Really, thanks." The girls all moaned and left. Hao sighed. Sometimes, too many fans are a bad thing... But he wasn't complaining. He turned and walked over to the Anna and the others who were just chilling and waiting for the crowd to thin out.

"Hey! Nice game Hao!" Macchi said with a wide smile.

"Ah, Sank You." Hao said with an adorable grin... The Yohish type of grin that he had never shown before. He smiled at Anna who blushed bit before turning to Mari who handed him a bottle of water.

"Thanks Mari." Hao said with a grin. Anna watched them with jealousy but didn't show it. She probably figured that a hott guy like Hao would definitely have a girlfriend. But Mari never said anything about it... Maybe she was just shy and likes to keep things to herself... Either way.. They do look like a good couple... But Mari can't be with Hao because Anna needs to be with Hao. She may sound a bit selfish right now but it's true. If Hao has that four leaf clover mark on his shoulder then she and Hao were... How should she say this... Soul mates? She unwrapped a piece of chocolate from her bag and bit into it. She looked up at the sun which was about to set and sighed. Maybe what Hao told her earlier was just some kind of a teasing joke. He already has a girlfriend so what is she to him? Probably just another fan girl... He definitely don't need here... He probably forgot all about her and what he had said earlier.

"Onii-Chan! You were bad out there!" Pirika yelled out.

"What are you talking about? I won that game!" Horo yelled.

"By one measly point." Pirika pointed out. "And that isn't good enough." Horo rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." He muttered. "I am exhausted ok?"

"H-Here Horo." Tamao handed Horo a bottle of cold spring water. Horo smiled and eagerly took it.

"Thanks Tam." He said with a grin. Pirika eyed her brother and Tamao suspiciously. First the blushes, then the walk home yesterday and now the nick names? This was beginning to get interesting... What's next? Tamao is her Sister-In-Law? Pirika giggled to herself and looked at Ren who was sitting in the sun, relaxing himself.

"Hey Ren!" She said plopping down next to him. Ren eyed her with an annoyed look.

"What is it?" He asked, strait to the point.

"What? Can't say hi?" She asked. Ren rolled his eyes and looked away. Pirika made a face and tried yet again to start a conversation with him.

"So hows it going?" She asked him. Ren looked at her.

"Hows what going?" He asked her.

"Hello? It's Valentines Day? Valentines Day equals girls which also equals to a lot and a lot of chocolate." Pirika told him happily. Ren let out a small chuckle.

"I don't not care if it is Christmas. Valentines Day is just another useless holiday to me. And as for the chocolates, I don't like them." He told her.

"But girls give you a lot don't they?" She asked.

"So they do. I don't really care because I don't eat them." Ren told her.

"Ok... So what did you do with them?" Pirika asked looking around. "I don't see them anywhere..." She gasped. "Don't tell me you gave them to Onii-Chan!" Ren laughed.

"No. Horo is going to be over weight if I did." He said chuckling. "No, I gave them to my sister." Pirika blinked. Ren's older sister was now in collage... So how could she be here? Ren seem to have read her mind because he responded.

"I sent them to her by mail." He told her. Pirika nodded.

"Ooo... That's thoughtful of you." Pirika smiled. "Ren-Kun is so sweet!" Ren's face turned pink.

"B-B-Baka!" He yelled at her. "I only did that because I don't like chocolate!"

"But still. It's so sweet to think about your sister like that." Pirika told him. "Although I wish you sent me chocolates too." Of course for the last part... She didn't say that out loud... She just muttered it. If Ren had heard her, he wasn't reacting to it.

"So if it wasn't for the chocolates the girls gave you, you wouldn't have sent anything to your sister?" Pirika asked.

"No." Ren simply answered.

"Oh..." Pirika grew silent for a while and closed her eyes, enjoying the wind blowing in her face. "It's a nice day out..."

"Ah..." Ren muttered looking out at... Well nothing in particular.

"Ren... Have you... Ever liked someone?" Pirika suddenly felt herself ask. Ren's face turned red as he turned his head to look at her.

"B-B-Baka. Why are you asking such a question?" He asked her. Pirika shrugged.

"I was just wondering..." She said quietly, hugging her knees. "You don't' seem to care about anyone. Not even Jun-San. Isn't there anyone you care about besides yourself?" Ren stayed quiet for a moment. If he says the wrong thing, it would lead to Pirika crying and that was definitely not a good thing.

"I do care about certain people." He finally said in a rather quiet voice.

"Who?" Pirika asked lifting her head.

"My friends... My sister..." Ren muttered.

"Oh..." Pirika muttered. "But have you every like anyone like... not really as a friend but... something deeper?" She knew she was crossing the line but she desperately wanted to know. Ren's face turned even redder. For a moment, there was silence. It's as if time had stopped and they were the only ones stuck in this strange time freezing dimension. Finally, Ren spoke up.

"You mean as a crush?" He asked. Pirika nodded silently, a thin layer of pink appearing on her warm cheek. "No... Not really..." Ren muttered. Pirika stayed quiet. She knew it was coming... It was only a matter of time before he had told her that he didn't like her... But yet she refused to believe it... She could feel her eyes watering but she refused to let them out. She refused to give in.

"So... Do you like... Like me?" She asked, blushing hard. Ren's face reddened. He was definitely going to case this girl to cry... But what chose did he have? He didn't like lying to her... That would make her cry even more.

"No..." He said quietly.

"S-Sou Ka..." Pirika said quietly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew it... He never liked her... He was always... Cold... Distant... Loner... He had never cared if girls liked him and he clearly showed that he doesn't care about her. She was just another annoying little fan girl. She got up quickly yet quietly.

"P-Pirika?" Ren looked up with concern. Maybe he should have just kept quiet.

"I-I forgot. I gotta go. I-I got a lot of homework." Pirika said as she quickly turned and ran off, burying her face in her hands. She brushed passed Tamao, Anna, Horo, as well as just about everyone on the team as she ran inside the school and into the girl's bathroom, locking herself in a stall.

"What did you do to her?" Horo demanded.

"Nothing." Ren told him firmly.

"Well you must have done something. Pirika doesn't cry for no reason... Well she does but not at this time. She won't cry unless you did something to her." Horo told Ren. "What did you do to here?"

"I said nothing!" Ren yelled. "I did nothing to her."

"Then what the fuck was all that about?" Horo yelled. "My sister is crying for god knows why and I have a feeling you have something to do with it."

"I told you. I did nothing to her." Ren told him firmly.

"You are lying. Now tell me what you did to her!" Horo demanded.

"Don't demand me." Ren yelled.

"Tell me!" Ren was a bit shocked about Horo's sudden anger burst. He had never seen him so angry in his life.

"We were just talking ok." Ren muttered.

"About what?" He asked.

"Nothing. She asked me if I like anyone..." Ren muttered.

"And what exactly did you tell her?" Horo asked folding his arms. Although he knew what Ren was going to say, he still had to ask.

"That I didn't like anyone..." Ren muttered.

"Anything else?" Horo asked.

"Well... She asked if I liked her." Ren muttered. There was silence.

"Please tell me you didn't..." Ren nodded slowly. "For crying out loud Ren!"

"I know! I know!" Ren yelled.

"No! You don't know Ren! You don't know anything about this!" Horo yelled. Ren blinked. "You just don't get it. Girls are not like a tissue box you could just pick up and put down whenever you like Ren."

"What are you saying?" Ren asked, his temper rising.

"You hurt her Ren. You really hurt her this time!" Horo yelled at him.

"What? What did I say?" Ren yelled.

"Don't you know? You are the one she likes." Horo yelled. Ren blinked and turned pink.

"I-I know that!" Ren yelled.

"Well if you did then why did you just do that!" Horo yelled.

"I-I... I don't know..." Ren said quietly. He thought he did... But does he really... Did he mean what he said?

"Do you like her Ren? Do you?" Horo asked. He sounded like a dam jealous boyfriend but he had to know. For one thing, he hated seeing his sister hurt. Ren stayed quiet. How was he suppose to respond to this? He didn't even know himself...

"Do you Ren? Do you?" Horo asked. Ren still didn't respond...

"... I don't know Horo..." He finally muttered. "I don't know..."

"Well you better find out quick Ren because you can't just keep hurting her like this." Horo told him angrily and waked off, leaving Ren standing there, a bit stun and dazed on what had just happened.

"Pirika, come on. Come out of there." Tamao said knocking on the door of the stall.

"No, go away." Pirika yelled from the other side.

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad." Macchi said.

"It is now leave me alone!" Pirika yelled.

"Tell us what happened." Tamao tried again.

"I-I don't know. Just leave me alone. Please!" Pirika sobbed.

"Pirika, tell Mari what happened. Did Ren break your heart? If he did, Mari will make him pay." Mari said quietly.

"No... No, just... Leave me alone... please." Pirika said quietly.

"Pirika..." Tamao said quietly.

"Come on... Let's go home first. She needs some time alone..." Anna said walked towards the door. Mari nodded ad walked out after her. Macchi shrugged.

"We'll be back home if you need us ok?" She yelled and she and Tamao left the bathroom. A few good 5 or 10 minutes later, Pirika finally stepped out of the bathroom stall and walked to the sink to wet her face. She let out a few quivering sighs. She whipped her face dry with her sleeves and pressed her hands on her face, trying to stop the world from spinning. She closed her eyes and slowly took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

"Pirika..." Pirika slowly opened her eyes.

"Go away... Please." She whispered.

"No." Pirika blinked and looked up. Her eyes widened when she looked in the mirror.

"W-What are you doing in here? W-Why are you here? Get out. This is the girl's bathroom." She said rather frightened as she stared into a pair of golden tiger eyes. It didn't look as dangerous and cold as it usually did. It looked... rather calm and gentle this time.

"No. And I don't really seem to care."

"Ren... Please... Just... Leave me alone." Pirika whispered. "You don't like me... I get it... Just leave me alone now..."

"No..." Ren firmly told her.

"Why do you want to stay? You want to torture me some more they way you do to Horo?" She asked, her anger rising. Ren blinked. This was the first time Pirika wasn't calling Horo Onii-Chan but his name.

"No, that's not why I'm here." He told her quietly.

"Then why? Just tell me and go." Pirika told him angrily. "I don't want to deal with you anymore."

"Pirika..."

"Tell me and leave!" Pirika yelled. There was silence... "I said tell me and leave." Pirika repeated angrily.

"Pirika... I..." This was definitely hard for Ren to say. This had never happened to him before, so he wasn't sure how to say it. He wasn't even sure if he was suppose to say this at all.

"I... Never meant to hurt you..."

"But you did anyway..." Pirika muttered angrily.

"No... I-I didn't mean to. Really Pirika." Ren told her. Pirika didn't say anything... She just kept giving him an angry look. "I just... Didn't know what to say to you... It... Took me by surprise. I... I didn't have time to think."

"Well tell me then." Pirika said folding her arms. "Tell me your answer now. You had enough time to think... Now tell me your answer." Ren blinked. He had thought this long and hard... And he knew the answer... he knew it now... Although he can't understand why... He knew the answer.

"Pirika... I- I never wanted to hurt you..." He said quietly.

"Oh bullshit!" Pirika yelled at him. Ren was pretty much speechless. When Pirika was angry... It was pretty scary and best not to talk. Actually, both Ainu siblings were scary when they were mad. "You are sorry that you hurt me am I right? Well bullshit. You don't mean it. I know you don't. Tomorrow, you will just go back to being cold, mean Ren. I know you Ren. You never mean it when you say your sorry."

"I do Pirika. I do." Ren yelled back at her.

"No you don't." Pirika yelled. "You just say it to make me feel better and then ignore me again."

"Pirika-" Ren was cut off by Pirika's anger.

"Shut up. Just shut up Ren!" Pirika yelled and turned to run off when Ren caught her by her arm, swung her over and gently pressed his lips on her's.

Ahhhhhh! This was suppose to be a HaoxAnna chapter! Ahhhh! And it was suppose to be Hao and Anna or Yoh and Anna who kisses first in this fanfic! Why is it Ren and Pirika who kissed first! Waaa... Oh well. Anyway, what do you all think? Next chapter will be Anna and Hao's short date... Member? Hao told Anna to meet him in the park around 6? Well next chapter is going to be about that. The answer to who sent Anna the roses will be in the next chapter. I am sorry! I kinda got carried away with the RenxPirika part hehe. Don't kill me!

Wild Stallion: Thanks for the idea. I think I might combine your idea with another one... Not sure yet.

bukashka: Thanks for the compliment. Here's an update!
