"Are you sure this is ok?" Nervous little Manta had backed out of the plan at first, saying it was immoral and could mentally unstabilize Ren... but in the end, Manta's dark side took over.

"Of course it's ok! Look, I'm almost done." Horohoro finished scrawling a note on a Post-It and hurriedly tucked it into his pocket. "Now let's hurry, before Ren comes out of the bathroom."

Yoh giggled and followed Horohoro, accompanied by Chocolove and Lyserg. They stealthily sneaked into their homeroom, enjoying the experience of playing "spy."

"Banana Comedian, Banana Comedian, are you there? Over." Horohoro whispered into an imaginary walkie-talkie.

"Earth to Snowboarding Pig, earth to Snowboarding Pig. Over."

"BANANA COMEDIAN! WHY ARE YOU DRESSED IN A NINJA SUIT? YOU KNOW IT'S AGAINST DRESS CODE!"

"SHUT UP! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE QUIET, REMEMBER! OVER!"

"Earth to Couch Potato, earth to Couch Potato. Over." Manta rolled his eyes. Imaginary walkie-talkies... why not just use the real, high-tech ones in Manta's backpack?

-Trademark James Bond theme song begins to play-

"Earth to Little Man. Has British Boy gathered the supplies yet? Over," Yoh whispered excitedly into another imaginary walkie-talkie.

"Positive, Couch Potato. Now, would you SHUT OFF THAT JAMES BOND MUSIC?! Over."

"Right, Little Man. Signal British Boy to resume Mission Horohoro-gets-his-revenge-on-Ren and start Phase D. Over."

"Ok, Couch Potato. By the way, what does D in Phase D stand for?"

"Destroy, Little Man, Destroy." Yoh laughed his evil laugh.

"It's a 'boy 'thang''?!" Anna rolled her eyes. "Sounds stupid."

"They called it, Mission Horohoro-gets-his-revenge-on-Ren, or something like that."

"Whatever. So long as it doesn't cost me any money."

Tamao fidgeted nervously. "I wonder what they're up to..."

"Did anything happen today that might tell you what they're doing now?"

"Well, we DID have a huge argument about Chocolove's Pokemon... and Horohoro DID dare Ren to kiss a girl in his class... So, I really don't know."

Anna looked to the right where she had locked Hao up in the closet. "Having fun?"

"Oh, yes. It's so much fun to watch one pretty girl, but even more fun to watch two pretty girls talking with each other!" Hao gave Anna his perverted smile again.

Residents of Tokyo could swear they felt an earthquake 50 miles away from Funbari Inn that day.

Ren emerged from the restroom and looked around. "Those bastards, they ditched me," he muttered, punching his hand into the wall.

"Hey, Ren."

Ren whipped around to see a shy-looking Sakura waving at him, a blush on her face. Ren turned completely red. He swore he saw a streak of blue at the window next to him, but eventually shoved it off his mind and looked back at Sakura.

"I... um... I got your message, and I just wanted to say..."

'Message? What message? I never sent Sakura any messages... --'

"THANK YOU!" Sakura jumped onto Ren and flung her arms around him. At this point Ren resembled something like a tomato.

'Good thing no one's hear to watch me... Enjoy the fun while it lasts, Ren!' A little voice whispered in Ren's head.

"Um... you're welcome... I think." Ren pried Sakura off of him and blushed again. Sakura took note of this and mentally grinned.

Then, to Ren's shock, she pressed her lips against Ren's.

All Ren could think about was Sakura, Sakura, Sakura, as her caramel-blond bangs brushed against her cheek. Ren returned the kiss gratefully. Nearly no one knew of Ren's secret crush on Sakura. Or so he thought.

"BOOM WOW WHOO WHOO!"

Ren quickly got off Sakura and turned around, facing a laughing Horohoro, an amused Manta, a grinning Lyserg, a ninja-suited Chocolove, and a sleeping Yoh.

"YOU BASTARDS!"

Ren brought out his Kwan Dao (Horohoro: Wow, he takes that thing to school?) and ran around the whole campus chasing a video camera-clutching Horohoro. Faint cries of "COME BACK HERE!" and "YOU BASTARD!" could be heard across the hall. Horohoro brought out a Post-It and showed it to Ren, who simply fumed.

Dearest Sakura,

After spending three years with you, I've never gotten the chance to tell you how I feel about you... I've always liked you, Sakura. You're beautiful, strong, logical, smart, and simply wonderful. I've been wondering... how do you feel about me?

Love,

Tao Ren

It was said later that day that several high school students could barely see the dim figure of a blue-haired boy with a broken, bleeding leg, running as fast as he could home.
