"So bored that you are actually watching this man?"

Phoenix squawked in surprise and flapped her wings around trying to regain balance.

Funny enough, Ren didn't pay attention at all.

Phoenix swiveled her graceful neck around to meet the eyes of the ex-maniac. Hao ignored the bird's attempt at a peck and stepped over to sit by Ren's side. He took a deep breath before saying what he needed to say.

"Ren."

No answer.

"Can I go out with Kita?"

Kita frowned at the small number of cookies from the first batch. She remembered there was more than that. She moved to count the second batch then stopped with a loud crunch. She looked down to see crumbs on the floor. She looked at her watch and grinned. The third and last batch was due to come out. Normally she would have kept it on the stove to cool it, but she was going to make a small exception. She carefully slid the plate of soft cookies onto a plate turned around and began to wash up.

She didn't need to wait long.

"YAHHHHHHH! ITAI ITAI ITAI!"

She turned around to see two frantic men jumping around like morons shaking their hands. "Oh, gee I'm so surprised at who could have been stealing my cookies." She commented sarcastically.

"We only wanted one." Yoh pleaded. Horo Horo nodded, "And it wasn't my idea, it was Yoh's."

"Yea- WHAT?"

"Can I go out with Kita?"

An instant reaction, Ren leapt to his feet, stumbled and, with a yell, tripped over the edge of the roof.

Fortunately Bason was close enough to see the incident and save his master from having a sore butt.

Hao snorted while Phoenix ruffled her feathers unappreciatively and flapped off towards some cloud to watch from above. The long-haired shaman leaned over the edge, unafraid and looked down at the ego-crushed man.

"What're you doing down there?" Hao asked amusingly. Ren glared up at the unconcerned man,

"I. Fell."

"Why?"

Ren looked ready enough to kill Hao without any regrets. "Because of you, you moronic bastard of an idiotic ass that doesn't deserve to live in the depths of fucking hell!"

Phoenix wanted to cover her ears but they were just holes at the side of her head, so covering her ear holes with her wings didn't help to block out the unpleasant words.

Hao shook his head at the scarlet-faced man, "Such words. Wait till I tell Kita."

Ren snorted, "It doesn't matter she hates me now."

If Phoenix had hands, she would have slapped Ren silly.

Hao looked down, "Now why would that be?" Ren snorted again, "None of your business." Hao rolled his eyes, which was pretty immature for a man of his age, "I give up. I was supposed to make you feel better."

A sudden gust of wind almost made him lose his balance, the wind curled around him almost protectively caressing his cheeks, hands and hair. A small pressure came upon his lips, almost like a gentle kiss. Hao flapped his hands around him, "Reptile, it better not be -…"

Phoenix burst out of the clouds and landed on the roof looking around wildly. Suddenly it was just the gentle breeze. She could swear it was a lost spirit, she thought it was…but it was gone, just like that. A gentle purr alerted the bird of the reptile. /Where were you/

The dragon snorted/Kita. She fainted, I hope she isn't sick./

For a moment, she thought she saw him, for a moment she thought she hear him, for a moment she thought she touched him.

For a moment

Yoh walked away from the kitchen blowing on his burnt fingers, although Horo Horo was to blame, Kita glared at both at them. It was new since Kita never glared but Yoh was kind of used to it, because she looked like Anna.

"Asakura Yoh, just what are you doing?" Anna stood there at the bottom of the stairs.

"I…I…I…burnt my fingers."

"That is no excuse, you should be doing your chores along with Manta."

"But…but…"

"I mean now Asakura Yoh." Anna ordered dangerously taking a step forward. Yoh took a step back. "Okay Okay! I'll do it." He ran away in hopes of successfully waking Manta up and doing his chores in time to watch Boblove on the television.

Anna watched him disappear past her and up the stairs. She sighed, she certainly was losing her touch, in the old days during the shaman king tournament, just three words would sent him doing what she ordered him to do.

Do. Chore. Now.

Now she needed 18 words for her to tell him what to do. She smelled the delicious waft of freshly baked cookies in the kitchen and took a step towards it, before stumbling. Fortunately, she didn't lean forward and ended up bashing her head onto the floor, she collapsed to her knees. Almost wanting to growl, she stood up and looked at what caught her foot and frowned.

The clean and dirt-free floor shined innocently back at her. Until she spied a trail of white powder leading a trail up the stairs.

She stormed upstairs to inform Yoh of the grime forgetting completely about the incident.
