Note: Ok... We skipped a couple of weeks... And here we are... In Spring Break in April. Hao and Yoh's parents out for some business matters and won't be back until next week meaning that they won't be back until Spring Break is over. To clarify the relationships... Pirika and Ren and now a couple... Well although Ren denies it... And I am still working on the others. Anna and Hao are just about ready to be a couple... Just not ripe enough to pick yet. But don't worry! This chapter will make them ripe enough to pick. Oh yah... It's getting warm in Cali so pool parties are officially opened! Muhahahaha... But don't worry. It won't get that dirty.
Chapter 8- Party Night part 1
"YERSH!" Horo yelled as he literally leaped out of school. "SCHOOL IS OVER! SPRING BREAK! HORO IS COMING FOR YOU!"
"Onii-Chan! Behave yourself!" Pirika yelled at her older brother. Sometimes she wonders if he really is the older sibling. Ren folded his arms and shook his head.
"Baka..." He muttered.
"Oh come on Ren. It's spring break! Everyone is happy and relieved that school is finally over." Yoh told his with a pat on the back. "Aren't you?"
"Of course not." Ren muttered removing his friend's arm off him. "School will start in 2 weeks again. It's Spring Break not Summer Vacation." Yoh smiled.
"I know, but Spring Break is for you to relax!" He yelled.
"With so much homework the teachers gave us? I highly doubt that any of us ever can relax." Ren muttered. Both Horo and Yoh turned white and fell to the floor.
"HOMEWORK!" They both yelled.
"I hate homework." Yoh said with a sniff.
"I know how you feel man. I hate it too." Horo said with a sniff and they both started crying water falls of tears... Anime style of course. Tamao giggled a little while Jeanne gave them a gentle smile.
"But the sooner we finish, the more free time we get." She told them with hope. At that, Horo and Yoh both shot up and dashed home with incredible speed. You know the roadrunner from Looney Toons? The one that goes Meep, Meep and does that little tongue this at the Coyote? Yah, that fast.
Everyone watched they go with open mouths.
"Well... I think they set a new record on track." Jeanne said sweat dropping.
"TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!" Horo yelled. Ren started getting annoyed and started tapping his pen.
"If you don't shut up Horo..." He warned.
"But there is too much homework!" Horo yelled. Ren rolled his eyes.
"That's because you didn't start it." He told him. "It's been 2 hours since we got home and all you have been doing is stare at it." Horo blinked and smiled.
"Actually I was just waiting for you." He told Ren who was annoyed to hell.
"And why in hell were you waiting for me?" Ren asked in a dangerous tone.
"Because since you are soooooo smart, you would be done in a flash and I could copy off of you." Horo said with a wide grin only to be hit by a throw pillow.
"Baka! Start your homework!" Ren yelled.
"No! You can't make me!" Horo yelled. Ren's eyes sparkled a bit.
"Or can I?" He asked getting up. Horo gulped, his eyes widening and he dove for Ren.
"No! Don't throw out all the food! I need food to survive! Don't throw it out!" He yelled.
"Then do your homework!" Ren yelled at him. Horo nodded obediently and sat down to do his homework.
"TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!" Yoh yelled almost at the top of his lungs. He heard his voice echo through the house and grins. "Hey, let's do that again!" He said grinning wickedly.
"Hey, let's not." Hao said in a sarcastic voice and continued to look at his homework... Or well the loose leaf that was suppose to be his homework but now was covered with doodles and graffiti.
"You are not even doing your homework Aniki." Yoh said pouting.
"Ad you didn't even start." Hao said not bothering to look away from his... Errr masterpiece... He just pointed at Yoh blank paper with his pen and bit his lower lip.
"Hmmm... Needs some finishing touches..." He mumbled.
"Aniki! It's suppose to be your turn to do the homework!" Yoh yelled. It was like a daily routine. Today, Hao does the homework and Yoh copies, tomorrow, Yoh does the homework and Hao copies and they just keep switching until well... Schools out. Hao chuckled and shook his head.
"Nu-uh little brother." He said in a rather amused and teasing tone. "I did the homework yesterday because you were too busy with something... That of course you didn't tell me. So it's you turn to do the homework." Yoh's mouth dropped and he cried water falls of tears again.
"But I didn't go to class today!" He whined.
"That's ok." Hao said with a smile as he finished his... Errr masterpiece. Yoh beamed.
"So that means you are going to do it for me?" He asked hopingly. Hao laughed.
"Who ever said that?" Hao got up and walked out of their study room only to return minutes later with 2 HUGE textbooks. "Here you go Otouto." He said slamming it on Yoh's head; not too hard but not too light either. "You have all week to read these text books and understand our lesson in class." Yoh cried waterfalls of tears as he began to flip the pages and started reading... Of course only to fall sleep while reading the first sentence.
"I'm FINALLY done!" Pirika yelled jumping up and down.
"Joy..." Anna mumbled returning to her homework.
"I'm almost done with the math." Tamao announce. "Ok, I'm done."
"What about you Anna?" Pirika and Tamao both looked at Anna.
"Almost." Anna told them. "You two can swap first. I'll copy later... After I finish this essay." The girls froze.
"We have an essay to write in English?" Tamao asked. Anna nodded.
"Yah." She muttered. "Bummer huh?" The girls sighed and swapped homework to copy while Anna finished her essay. Finally, Anna was done and swapped homework with Pirika and then took Tamao's paper to copy the math homework. The phone rang. Pirika rushed to pick it up.
"Hellooooo?" She asked in a rather hyper tone.
"Hellooooo!" The voice answered back in an equally hyper tone. "Are you done with your homework yet?"
"Almost Macchi." Pirika told her and mouthed Macchi's name to Anna and Tamao who were wondering who it was. They nodded and returned to copying each other's homework. "What about you?" Macchi sighed.
"Sadly no." She said in a depressed tone but it quickly lifted. "Can Mari and I come over to copy your homework?" Pirika bit her lower lip and toyed with the phone wire.
"Hmmm, I don't know." She told Macchi with a giggle. "It'll cost you."
"Hey! What is this? A deal made from heaven to hell? I'm your friend! Your pal! Your chum!" Macchi yelled into the phone. "I'm your compardrey! You're Tomodachi!" Pirika laughed.
"Ok, come on over." She said with a smile.
"Thanks! Be there in a flash!" Macchi yelled and immediately hung up. The door bell immediately rang and Pirika blinked. She walked to the door and opened it.
"Wow, when you said be there in a flash, you really mean it." Macchi beamed.
"Actually we were already on our way to your place when I called." She said as she and Mari walked in.
"Anna! Tamao! What's up!" The orange pig tailed hyper girl yelled as she walked into the living room where the girls were currently copying each other's homework.
"Hi Macchi. Hi Mari." Tamao said with a smile.
"Hi." Anna replied without looking up from her paper.
"We have come to copy your homework and to drag you out of hell!" Macchi announce.
"No one can escape from hell because reality is hell and no one can escape from reality Macchi." Anna told her in a... Well rather mother lecturing way. Macchi made a face.
"I hate smart people." She said with a laugh. "Well I have to come to bring some SUNSHINE! Into your life." The way Macchi said sunshine was... Well too hyper. It was like she was screaming Sunshine in a girly hyper way and then continued with her usual hyper tone. Anna smiled and shook her head.
"Math homework. Who wants it?" She asked throwing it in the air. Macchi dove for it but Mari got it first.
"Mari copies first." She told Macchi who folded her arms and pouted.
"No fair. On our way here, I said I got dibs on the homework first." Macchi whined.
"But you never said which one." Mari pointed out. Macchi blinked and sighed.
"Like I said... I hate smart people. Makes me feel VERY dumb." Macchi said and they all laughed.
The phone rang and Ren heard someone yelling out his name.
"Ren! Phone!" It was his older sister Jun. She had come home for the Spring Break but had to leave tonight to finish up her homework and project. Ren groaned with annoyance as he got up and walked to the phone currently in Jun's hand. He took it and muttered a small and annoyed "hello".
"Hey Ren!" By the sound of that tone, Ren had no doubt in his mind that it was Yoh.
"What is it Yoh?" He asked.
"Hey! How'd you know it was me?" Yoh asked cheerfully.
"There are obvious reasons. Now tell me what you want." Ren muttered. He could hear his sister down the hall telling him to be nicer to his friends but chose to ignore her.
"Are you done with your homework yet?" Yoh asked.
"Yes but you are not copying it." Ren told him. Yoh let out a small whimper.
"But Ren!" He whined.
"No is no." Ren told sternly. "I didn't let Horo copy and I'm not going to let you copy." There was some more whimpering and then a smack was heard.
"OW!" Ren blinked. He smirked when he heard Hao.
"No whimpering. You sound like a dam puppy." He told Yoh who continued to whimper. "And no asking Ren for the answers. He wouldn't give it to you anyway but stop bothering him." Ren chuckled lightly to himself.
"But Aniki! You won't help me!" Yoh whined.
"Well who told you not to go to class?" Hao asked. Yoh thought for a moment.
"No one..." He muttered and sighed. "Sorry Ren. Hao is being mean again." Ren laughed.
"No, he is doing the right thing Yoh. What he said was pretty true." He told Yoh. "No one told you to skip class and I will not give you the answers to the homework no matter how much you whimper and please me." Yoh whimpered again.
"But Ren!" He whines. Again, a smack sound and Yoh's "OW!" could be heard.
"No whimpering and no whining." Hao told his little brother and took the phone from his hands with a sigh.
"Sup Tao?" He said in a cheerful tone.
"What is it Hao?" Ren asked annoyed again. "I am not going to give you the answers."
"Darn..." Hao muttered. "But I smacked Yoh for you."
"Hmmm, I never asked you to but thanks." Ren told him in a rather sarcastic but annoyed tone. Hao laughed.
"But that isn't the reason why Yoh called you." Hao told him. "Well it wasn't but anyway, listen." Ren blinked.
"Our parents aren't going to be home this whole week." Hao explained. "They are going on a business trip or some shit like that so you wanna come over? Yoh wants to throw a party... For god knows whatever reason." Ren nodded.
"I see..." He muttered.
"So you plan to come?" Hao asked. You could heard Yoh in the background.
"PLLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE REEEEEEENNNNY!" He plead. Ren's face turned red.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He yelled at the phone, knowing quiet well that Yoh couldn't hear him. Hao chuckled.
"Well?" He asked.
"I'll think about it." Ren muttered. Yoh rushed to his room to pick up the telephone in his room to tune in on the conversation.
"PLEEEEAAASSSEEEE REEEEEEEEN!" He begged again. "If you don't I'll keep whimpering!"
"YOH!" Both Hao and Ren scolded at him, clearly annoyed of his whimpering. Yoh let out a small whimper but hushed down.
"Oh yah, be sure to tell Horo too." Hao told Ren in his usual calm voice.
"Why are you inviting that bastard?" Ren asked.
"I am not a bastard!"
"Yay! Horo's tuning in too!" Yoh yelled with joy.
"Sup! When's the party and where?" Horo asked.
"Tonight and at our place." Yoh told his blue haired friend. "Tell a friend."
"Do that and you are a dead man Horo." Hao warned.
"But Aniki!" Yoh whined.
"We can't have too many people. Our house may be big but with the mess... Okaa-San will not be happy." Hao told Yoh who pouted.
"Since when do you care about tidiness Hao?" Ren asked.
"Yah man. You would be the last to care about it. Ren is more of the neat freak." Horo said with a laugh.
"Kisama!" Ren yelled.
"Well actually, Aniki doesn't care but he always gets blamed for the mess no matter how hard I tell Kaa-San and Tou-San that I did it." Yoh explained. "So now we can't have big parties unless it is at someone else's house."
"Oh..." Horo muttered. "Sorry man." Hao shrugged and sighed.
"Oh well. Anyway, back to the subject. Plan to come?" He asked.
"Count me in!" Horo yelled throwing his hand in the air.
"Yay! What about you Ren?" Yoh asked. Ren thought for a minute.
"I have to send Nee-San to the airport first." He told them.
"When is her flight?" Yoh asked.
"Around 8." Ren told them. "But we have to leave early for some family business."
"I see." Hao muttered. "Well the party starts at 6."
"Till?" Horo asked.
"Don't know yet. How long you want this party to be?" Yoh asked Hao.
"Hmmm... Normally if it was a school day... I would say around 12 or 2... But since there is no school tomorrow, it's endless." Hao told them.
"Yay!" Horo jumped for joy.
"Wait... Aniki, Kaa-San and Tou-San will be coming back home tonight to make sure that we aren't having a party remember? The latest our party can be up to is 9." Hao groaned.
"Fine... It ends at 9." He muttered.
"So who's invited?" Horo asked not letting the party ending time depress him.
"Everyone." Yoh told him.
"Oh..." Horo muttered, thinking.
"Horo don't get that nasty now." Hao cut in. "And bring some spare cloths. The party might end up to be a wet one." Horo nodded a small smirk appearing.
"Ok... So what do you have in store for them?" He asked.
"Ch-Ch-Ch. Don't think I'll tell you." Hao said waving his finger. "You will see soon enough. Just take my advice and bring some spare cloths." Hao smirked. When it comes to party planning, he was the best around. He explained the rest of the party details to them.
The phone rang again and Macchi threw a throw pillow at it.
"Can't it see that I am trying to concentrate!" She yelled.
"You have to concentrate to copy people's homework?" Anna asked the rather annoyed Macchi.
"Of course!" Macchi said with some reason a proud smile. "I have to concentrate on trying to keep focus because I always end up falling asleep." Tamao and Pirika giggled.
"Why don't you asked Kanna to help you?" Tamao asked. Macchi made a face.
"She wasn't much help." She muttered. "And she was too busy packing."
"Packing?" The girls asked. Mari nodded.
"Kanna is going back home for Spring Break." She told them.
"But... Kanna doesn't really get along with her family... Right?" Pirika asked ignoring the phone. Macchi and Mari shook their heads.
"But she is going back anyway. She muttered something about seeing them about something. Well something like that..." Macchi explained. The phone continued to ring and Macchi groaned.
"Stupid phone! Shut up!" She yelled. The phone stopped ringing and Macchi sighed. "Thank you." She turned back to her homework and was about to start writing again when the phone rang again. She threw her pen at the phone and folded her arms. "Whoever is calling better have a good reason or else they are dead." They girls laughed a little and Pirika got up to answer it and save Macchi from torture.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hey Pirika?" It was Yoh.
"Hi Yoh." Pirika said with a small smile. Macchi and Mari rushed to the kitchen to listen in on the conversation with the phone in there while Anna and Tamao rushed to their rooms to listen in.
"Hey, you guys got anything to do tonight?" Yoh asked.
"Not really..." Pirika mumbled.
"I don't!" Macchi yelled.
"Mari has nothing to do either." Mari said grabbing the phone from Macchi.
"Neither me." Tamao told him.
"What about you Anna?" Yoh asked silently pleading that she was free.
"I guess I'm free." Anna answered. She never really make plans for herself anyway.
"Great!" Yoh said with a huge grin on his face.
"Why do you ask?" Pirika asked as she sat down on the sofa.
"Aniki and I are throwing a party!" Yoh said happily. "Tell a friend!"
"YOH!" Hao yelled.
"Just kidding, just kidding." Yoh said with a small sweat drop. "It's more of a... private party I guess. Anyway, wanna come?"
"Hell yah!" Both Pirika and Macchi yelled.
"You know a party isn't called a party without me in it!" Macchi told him with a huge grin on her face, already deciding what to wear. Parties were always her thing. It's where she can be the most craziest and she loves being crazy... If she isn't already.
"Mari is coming too." Mari chimed in. If her best friend Macchi is going, then you most likely would see Mari tagging along. Some people even thought that they were win sisters or something; regardless of hair color.
"I guess I'll come too." Tamao said with a small smile.
"What about you Anna?" Yoh asked. He was yet again, silently praying that she would come.
"Well... Since everyone is going, I guess I'll go too." Anna said quietly. She had never really been to parties much but since everyone was going, why not? It was Spring Break anyway, a time to relax.
"Great!" Yoh yelled giving Hao the thumbs up sign. "See you guys here at 6!"
"6?" Macchi asked. "Why 6? Most of your parties start at around..." Macchi paused to think.
"8 Macchi. Usually starts around 8." Mari told Macchi who nodded.
"Right. 8." Macchi corrected.
"Yah. The party ends at 9. You guys are going to stay and hang out with us for a while and then we start our own private party or something." Yoh explained. "I know for everyone else, it'll sound like a sucky party but if Kaa-San and Tou-San find out that we had a party while they were gone, you will never hear of us again! Not to mention, since the pool is going to be open, almost everyone will be jumping in and making the place wet as hell so they will be staying long."
"Smooth..." Mari muttered.
"Yah." Yoh beamed. "Oh yah, be sure to bring a swim suit!"
"Swim suit?" Anna asked with suspicion. "Why?"
"Aniki wants to see you guys in ok." Yoh said with a laughed and a smack was heard. They didn't need to ask what happened because they already knew. Hao had smacked Yoh on the head... Not because Yoh had said such a thing but because Yoh actually blurted it out... "Kidding, kidding." Yoh said rubbing his sore head. "Well just bring it just in case ok? Cause I did say earlier that the pools going to be open at this party. Just bring spare cloths just in case someone does plan to throw you in the pool." Yoh explained to her. "And since Horo is coming... Well you know how wild he can get sometimes."
"I see..." Macchi muttered. "Well if he even dares touch me..." Yoh laughed.
"Oh yah... Before I forget to tell you... There is also another surprise so really... Bring some spare cloths." Macchi sighed.
"We know Yoh. Bring swim suit and or some spare cloths. We know." She muttered in a mocking voice. Yoh smiled.
"Ok then. See you guys at 6!"
"Well?" Hao asked eyeing his brother as Yoh hung up.
"Hehe, A-ok." Yoh told his rubbing his head. Hao nodded.
"Next time, don't' be such a dummy to say things like that." Hao muttered walking off.
"But it's true and it was kind of like a joke anyway." Yoh said with a shrug, following his twin brother out of the room. "So about this private party... Who's going to really be staying?" Hao thought for a minute.
"You and me no doubt..." He said as he thought. "Horo, Ren, Nichrome, Jeanne, Pirika, Macchi, Mari, Tamao..." Hao paused. "Oh and Anna." Yoh nodded.
"Can we invite Manta too?" He asked with begging puppy eyes. "Please oh please! Manta is my fav. pal!" Hao rolled his eyes.
"Fine." He muttered. Yoh grin widened.
"Yes! I'll call Manta right now!" He yelled and rushed off. Hao sighed and walked back to their study room where he was currently planning how their party goes.
"I might need to make some adjustments..." Hao muttered as he scribbled a few more ideas on the paper, a small smirk appeared as he wrote. "Make that... One big adjustment..."
"Hello?"
"Hello? Lyserg?" Jeanne said in a happy and cheerful not to mention heavenly tone.
"J-Jeanne?" Lyserg asked in total surprise. It was rare for Jeanne to call him. Actually, it was rare for anyone to call him.
"Hello Lyserg." Jeanne said with a soft smile as she toyed with her phone wire. "I called to ask if you have been asked to go to Asakura Hao and Yoh's party tonight. I hear it is going to be a blast." Lyserg paused for a moment. He and Hao were not best of friends... Best of enemies was more like it. "Lyserg?" Jeanne was a bit concerned. Lyserg didn't sound too happy about this...
"Sorry. I was just thinking that is all." Lyserg said quickly.
"I see. Well are you going to the party?" Jeanne asked him again. Lyserg again paused and then turned a bit pink. Jeanne is asking him to go to a party y? Everyone is going and I think it would be great you go as well. You get to meet new people with her? Well not really... But somewhere close to it...
"Ummm... I don't know." He muttered. "I don't know where he lives..."
"Oh that's ok. I'll take you to his place." Jeanne told him. Lyserg was a bit unsure. What happens if Hao embarrasses him in front of everyone and Jeanne as well? "Oh come on. It'll be fun! You never go to any parties and you barely know anyone." Jeanne said in a rather begging way.
"The only person I want to know is you Jeanne..." Of course, Lyserg didn't say it out loud. Instead, he sighed. "Alright, fine. I'll go." Jeanne smiled softly.
"Well ok. I'll come over to your place around 5:30." She told him and hung up.
Sorry! Since this chapter was too long and too large to upload, I have to slip it. The continuation of this chapter as well as Review replies will be in the next chapter.
