"Come on, guys! Why are you so slow?" A blue-haired girl practically screamed as she ran and shoved her way past people in the area.
"Pirika, why are you running? And we're not slow, you're going too fast." A pink-haired girl tried to scream back as she and a blond-haired girl tried to keep up with the pace.
"Let her go, Tamao. She'll end up waiting for us anyway." The blond-haired girl said.
"But, what if we don't find her?" Tamao asked.
"I highly doubt that. This isn't the biggest mall in Tokyo." The girl replied in a flat tone.
"But Anna…"
"No buts. Now slow down or you'll trip over your own feet."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah, yes. This is the life. No dealing with the girls today. What to do, what to do." A blue-haired boy said as he sat down on the couch in between a black-haired boy and a purple-haired boy.
"I don't know. Maybe we could try to push you into the ocean and see if you'd drown or not." Ren said snidely.
"Maybe…Or maybe we could… Hey, why'd you want to push me into the ocean?" The blue-haired boy suddenly sat up.
"Cos you're an idiot, that's why."
"What! How dare you! You've got some nerve!" The blue-haired boy was about to strangle the purple-haired boy when someone stopped him.
'Now, Horo. Violence isn't the way to go." The black-haired boy said in a very calm tone.
"Really now… So what do I do? Just sit here and let him insult me?" Horo Horo said in an irritated tone.
"Well, actually, yeah. That's the thing to do." The black-haired boy said as he sat back down on the couch.
"I agree with Yoh." The purple-haired boy said as he nodded his head.
"Sure you do, Ren. You get to insult me and I just sit and watch." Horo Horo said sarcastically as he gave Ren a nasty look.
"Of course. That's what makes it fun. At least we have something to do. Not unless you have another brilliant idea, genius." Ren said.
"I don't know. What do you think, Yoh? What should we do today? The girls are out the whole day." Horo Horo asked as he looked at the black-haired boy who seemed to be falling asleep.
"Looks like someone didn't get enough sleep last night." Ren commented as Horo Horo shook Yoh's shoulders violently.
"What's happening! Is Anna here? Quick! Hide!" Yoh said as he suddenly sat up trying to look for a place to hide.
"Nothing much happening around here. Just trying to wake you up." Horo Horo said as he rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, man, what happened to you? Didn't you get any sleep last night?" Ren asked.
'I did but I'm still sleepy." Yoh said sheepishly.
"Why did I even bother to ask." Ren sighed in frustration.
"So, what do we do today, gentlemen?" Horo Horo said trying to change the subject.
"Sleep, perhaps?" Yoh suggested.
The other two boys just glared at him.
"Bad idea." Yoh said getting the hint.
"Now what?" Horo Horo said.
The three boys just kept silent for a few minutes.
"How about we just catch a movie?" Ren finally said.
"Sounds like an idea." Horo Horo said as he stood up. "So Yoh, you up for a movie?" When he looked to the side, he could see that Yoh was half-asleep again. He looked at Ren and sighed.
"We don't have a choice but to do this." Ren said as he got up and stood in front of Yoh. "He asked for it."
"What are you planning to do?" Horo Horo asked in a curious tone.
"Watch." Ren said simply.
"What the-?" Horo Horo didn't have time to finish his sentence.
"ANNA'S HERE! SHE LOOKS REALLY MAD! SHE'S COMING TO BEAT YOU UP!" Ren said loudly.
"What? Anna? Where? When? How? What'd I do?" Yoh suddenly sat up straight with a look that said "I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!".
"You're awake now. Let's go catch a movie then." Ren said as he headed for the door.
"What a way to wake someone up." Horo Horo said as he and Yoh followed Ren towards the door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's go here! No, wait, let's go there instead." Pirika screamed excitedly as she ran past people in the mall.
"Pirika's too excited for her own good." Anna said as she watched Pirika run.
"Yes, she is. But she hasn't been out for weeks since she got sick." Tamao said.
"True enough. But her illness wasn't deadly or anything. The blue-haired idiot refused to let her out." Anna said dully.
"That's another thing. I wonder what the guys are doing right now." Tamao said as they continued to walk making sure that Pirika was still in sight.
"I'd rather not answer that question." Anna replied.
"Why-?" Tamao was cut off by Pirika's shrill scream.
"Hey guys! Look over here!" The blue-haired Ainu screamed as she stopped in front of a store window.
"What's the matter, Pirika?" Tamao said as she stood next to Pirika. They were standing in front of a window display of mannequins wearing the season's latest fashions.
"Nothing. I just wanted you guys to see how adorable the clothes are."
Anna sighed. She didn't expect Pirika to be this shallow today. Perhaps it was an effect of being locked up for weeks. She made a mental note to beat Horo Horo when they got home. Speaking of Horo Horo, what could the boys be doing now? Anna wondered. Did Yoh fall asleep again? She noticed that his eyes were a bit droopy during breakfast.
"Anna? Are you still there? Earth to Anna!" Pirika said pushing Anna out of her thoughts.
"What?" Anna said in an irritating tone.
"You weren't answering us. We were just making sure you were still with us." Tamao said.
"I'm perfectly fine. Now, what were you saying?" Anna asked the other two girls.
"We were asking you if you wanted to go inside." Pirika said as she pointed towards the door of the store.
"If you want to-" Anna was barely halfway through her sentence when she saw Pirika rush in.
"Tamao, remind me to beat the blue-haired idiot the moment I see him." Anna said turning to Tamao.
Tamao was smart enough not to question Anna's actions and merely replied a meek yes as they followed Pirika into the store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So gentlemen, the next question of the day. What movie do we watch?" Horo Horo asked Yoh and Ren. They were standing in front of the movie house and were deciding on what movie to watch.
"I don't know. You pick." Ren said. "I only suggested this so we can go out. This beats being stuck at home."
"Any particular movie in mind, Yoh?" Horo Horo asked Yoh.
Yoh didn't seem to hear what Horo Horo was saying. He was clearly lost in his own thoughts and was not responding to Horo Horo. He seemed to be looking at something but Horo Horo couldn't figure out what. There were too many things to be looking at from that point of view.
"Not again." Ren groaned.
"What do we do? We can't just tell him to look over here and pay attention." Horo Horo asked Ren.
"There's only one thing we can do." Ren said as he stood right next to Yoh.
"What are you planning to-"Again, Ren was too quick for Horo Horo to even finish his sentence.
"Anna's standing right behind you and she doesn't look very happy." Ren said in a low tone.
That sentence pulled Yoh back to reality. "She is?" He turned to see but saw no one. "No, she isn't. What'd you do that for?"
"It was the only way to send you back to reality." Ren said calmly. "Now go pick a movie and get those tickets, Horo."
"All right. You guys pay me when I get back." Horo Horo said as he ran towards the ticket booth. "Ren sure has weird ways to get people's attention." He muttered when he was sure Ren wouldn't hear him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm beat." Pirika said as she sipped her drink. The girls were inside a coffee shop. They had spent the entire day shopping and roaming around the mall.
"Me too." Tamao sighed.
Anna merely stared at the two girls as she quietly sipped her tea. For the life of her, she couldn't understand why she didn't find the day very enjoyable but she didn't find it boring either.
Could it be because she was thinking of a certain someone? No, that couldn't be it. That someone was too busy doing other things to think of her anyway. Why would she even think about him in the first place?
"Anna? Anna? Are you there?" Pirika said, waving her hand in front of Anna.
"Yes? You were saying?" Anna said with a look that clearly said "I'm okay, I'm not thinking about anything."
"Nothing. Just making sure you were okay." Pirika said with a smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That was a good movie." Horo Horo said as they made their way towards the exit.
"I agree." Ren said nodding his head in agreement.
"What did you think of it, Yoh?" Horo Horo asked.
"It was okay." Yoh said looking a bit distracted.
"What are you thinking about?" You've been acting strange since we got here." Ren said in an irritated tone.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Yoh said as he quickened his pace before the other two could ask anymore questions.
"What's eating him?" Horo Horo wondered aloud.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're gonna catch a movie. Do you want to come?" Pirika said with a hint of concern in her tone. Anna had been out of it since the start of the day.
"No, thank you. I think I'll pass. Maybe next time. I'm heading home. I'm tired." Anna replied curtly.
"You'll be fine?" Tamao asked in a worried tone.
"Of course, I will. Stop worrying and get going. If you don't, you'll miss the start of the movie." Anna said with a hint of irritation.
"All right. We'll see you sonn. Take care." Pirika said as she and Tamao walked away.
Anna sighed as she made her way home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Would you please tell us what on earth is bothering you?" Horo Horo said finally losing to his curiosity. They were inside a bakeshop much to his insistence.
"Nothing's bothering me, Horo." Yoh said in a calm tone.
"Really now?"
"I'm fine." Yoh said taking a sip of tea.
"Then why have you been staring elsewhere all day?"
"No particular reason."
"So you mean to say you just like staring at the buildings?" Horo Horo said, trying to control himself from lunging forward and strangling Yoh.
"Something like that."
"You're just thinking about Anna. You've been up all night thinking about her." Ren said simply.
Yoh froze at Ren's words. Ren smirked. Horo Horo gaped. There was complete silence between the three of them. Yoh looked away. A few minutes later, Ren broke the silence. "See, I was right." He said triumphantly.
"How did you know that?" Horo Horo asked in bewilderment.
"I have my ways." Ren said in an evil tone.
"What about Anna?" Horo Horo asked Yoh.
There was silence.
"You haven't told her how you feel, have you?" Ren said while sipping tea.
Yoh nodded his head.
"You've got to be kidding. You mean to say you've never, not even once?" Horo Horo said in disbelief.
Yoh nodded his head again. There was yet again, more silence.
"Dude, all it takes is one kiss. If you do that, then you shouldn't have trouble telling her how you feel. I'm sure she feels for you too." Horo Horo said.
"I hate to admit this but he's right." Ren added.
Yoh kept quiet for a few minutes before he finally spoke up. "Are you guys sure?"
"Yes." The other two said in unison.
"If it doesn't, you can beat Horo Horo to your heart's content." Ren added quickly.
"Why does it have to be me? Hey, Yoh! Where are you going?" Horo Horo said as Yoh was standing up.
"Home. I had fun today, guys. Let's do it again sometime." Yoh said as he headed towards the exit.
"It's about time that he did this." Ren said as he watched Yoh head for the door.
"Why does it have to be me?" Horo Horo asked as he stuffed his mouth with cake.
Today's the day. About time, I gathered some courage to do this. Yoh thought as he rushed home.

I'm so glad that I finally posted this. The idea's been in my head for weeks but I didn't have time to really sit down and type it. Please don't kill me for the ending. That was how I really visualized it. The next one will be more promising and should be up in a few weeks. Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate them. Till' next time. Bye!
