Without You – Chapter 4: A warm welcome to a new friend

By night, Yoh came home and brought again several delicious foods. But before he entered the house, everyone peeped through the door and looked for the grocery bags he held. Yoh looked confused as he scratched his head while Horo Horo pointed his finger to those foods.

"These?" Yoh opened the grocery bag and they nodded. They took a look on the bag as they blinded to the light they saw. Wonderful dishes were brought by Yoh, surely tastes good.

"Oh… What a… Ooh… Awesome… Looks delicious Yoh-kun…" Lyserg looked inside those bags and saw full of foods like pastries, snacks, roasted chicken and much more for their dinner.

"Yah… great… Umm… Smells good… Ahh…" Ryu and Chocolove smelled the food while their eyes were glistening like a diamond.

"So… Let's eat!" Everyone cried as Manta stopped them for a moment.

"… But where the hell you got those foods, Yoh-kun?" Manta asked after smelling the food with everyone. They were waiting for his reply while their ears became big as the ears of an elephant.

"Um… I got those from Rei-chan…" Yoh replied.

"I see…! But who's Rei-chan?!" They asked in chorus in a loud voice.

"Maa… Don't shout at me… She's my new friend… That's all…"

"Friend? I see…" They nodded then cried… "Let's eat!"

Yoh sweat dropped and a big question mark just fell on his head. "Hehehe…"

Everyone finished the food then drunk water. Again, they made a mess because they ate again their delicious, wonderful and breathtaking dinner he brought. Gulped… gulped… Gulped… Bbbuuuurrrrppp!

"Yuck! You burped too loud, Ryu!" Pirika threw the plate in front of her. "Have manners!"

"Yah… Manners…" Tamao bobbed and agreed.

"Fine… Sorryi… BURRRPP!" He replied and burped once again.

"Ryu!!"

"Yes yes… Sorry…"

Everyone stopped their noise when Manta asked another question again. He just widened his eyes… I mean… totally widened… just to stop them.

"Ah… Yoh-kun… Who's… Rei-chan?"

"Rei-chan… She's my new friend. I met her there at the riverside last week."

"I see… Why does she always give you foods and brought it home?" Tamao asked after his reply.

"Um… Because they have a cafeteria. She treated me one time there when we met…"

"Really?!! Lucky…" Ryu cried as Yoh nodded.

"Then… Introduce her!" Pirika and Tamao requested.

"… So we could eat amazing dishes every night!" Horo Horo continued while he received a punch from his sister. "Ouch… What's that for?!"

"I told you… Use your common sense… Not your mouth…" Pirika replied and made his brother grinned teeth.

Tomorrow morning, Yoh fetch Rei so that Yoh's friends could introduce themselves to her. It was kinda far from Yoh's house to hers but they just walked while they were chatting again. Yoh told her that his friends were too excited to meet her and she just replied a smile. Few minutes later, they reached his house.

"I'm… " Yoh paused as Tamao and Pirika threw crampled papers and balloons.

"Welcome! Rei-chan!"

"Anou ne… what's that for guys?" Yoh sweat dropped and asked.

"We're welcoming Rei-chan! Isn't it obvious? Saa Rei-chan! Come inside!"

"Ah… Ok … Thanks…" Rei replied sweat dropped.

"Hey! Don't be shy!" Pirika held Rei's hands and pulled her at the living room.

They all sat down while Yoh was started to clear his throat and introduce his new friend to them. They were very excited to know about her, very excited. Ryu, Horo Horo and Chocolove drooled while they received two punches from Tamao and Pirika.

"Minna-san… This is Rei."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tomizawa Rei. I was hoping to be your friend." She smiled while Ryu, Horo Horo and Chocolove blinded to her smile.

"Nice… to meet you… baby…" Ryu gave her a rose with a smile.

"Ah… A… Aha… Thanks…"

As their conversation continues, she told her story as what she told on Yoh last day…

"I'm presently living with my mother and two sisters namely Rumi who is two years older than me and Yukime who is the same age as mine. She's not my twin but she's only an adopted child. My father has already died with his ill tuberculosis." She ended up her story as Ryu asked again.

"Hey babe… Do you already have a boyfriend or whatever? If you don't… I'm available…" He rolled his eyes and gave her a… smile, I think.

"Ah… None… But I'm not looking…" Rei replied as she almost punched him hard.

"Eherm… Ryu-kun… She's our visitor not a suitor." Tamao glared at her as Pirika punched him.

"So… Are you free today guys?" Rei suddenly asked while they stared at Rei.

"Yup… We're free…" Tamao nodded and replied.

"So… I'll treat you in our cafeteria!"

"Okay! Yay!"

Rei treated her on her cafeteria. All of them knew that Rei is kind and perfect compared to Anna who is harsh and strict. Why is that Rei suddenly treating them? Is there a possible reason why?
