Home and Hao
A week passed rather quickly and Morphin had managed to keep her second life a secret. There were a few close calls, like when the amulet got caught on something the rope bit tore and she just managed to grab it and put it back on before she started changing back, and other things that came along the same lines. But apart from that she had managed o keep her cover and also spend a lot of quality time with Lyserg. It was last period on Friday and not too many of the students were paying a lot of attention to the teacher, so he eventually just let everyone do there own thing. Lyserg and Maranda were sitting at the back of the class talking,
"So, Maranda, what are your parents like?" Lyserg asked, Maranda slightly panicked then came up with something,
"My parents died in a car crash when I was younger," Maranda said, looking sad, Lyserg didn't look so happy either,
"Oh, Maranda I'm sorry," Lyserg said," My parents died when I was younger too," Lyserg said,
"Oh, I'm sorry too," Maranda said,
"It's Ok, but, if your parents are dead, then why do you have cram school? And how did you Move here," Lyserg asked,
"I ehh…My family is kinda wealthy and I kinda got into a bit of trouble in my last school and this was the closest one to my house after that one," Maranda lied 'I really hate lying to him but if I tell him that I'm actually his guardian ghost then there's no point in doing this in the first place,' Maranda thought,
"Oh, OK, hay, how about I take you to my house after school," Lyserg suggested, Maranda looked like a bee had stung her,"I've got these friends from Japan that have came over for a bit since it's a holiday for them and they'd properly want to meat you," He said, 'Then Hao might just stop invading the safety of my head long enough for me to think about personal thoughts,' Lyserg thought,
"Well… Um… I, I-"Maranda stuttered,
"They wont bite… well most of them, mabie I should consult with Yoh about Hao again before I ask you to come over," Lyserg thought out loud,
"Why?"Marnada asked,
"It's just, he's kinda picky," Lyserg said, "Look just, he's got this little problem and he could possibly… attempt to kill you," Lyserg said the last bit fast, Maranda tried to look shocked,
"Would he? Well, mabie It would be best if I didn't come around," Maranda said,
"No, no, hay mabie I could get Yoh to keep his eye on Hao then he won't hurt you, please could you come over, everyone really kinda wants to meat you," Lyserg said rubbing the back of his head,
"Well, I guess I could, but not for too long," Maranda said, then the bell rang and the class was excused.
Out in the school grounds Amy, Sarah and Jenn are waiting for Lyserg to walk home, and in the mean time Jenn and Amy are once again, trying to pursue Sarah to tell them about her date with Hao,
"Did you guy's kiss? That's all I wanna know," Jenn said,
"An anything around Kissing," Amy said flatly,
"I'm not telling, I don't kiss and tell," Sarah said,
"You do realise you just told us?" Amy said grinning, Sarah turned scarlet,
"I didn't I said I don't kiss and tell," Sarah shouted,
"Yes but you saying I don't kiss and tell is basically saying we did kiss but I'm not telling you directly," Jenn said,
"Good point," Sarah said, "But we still didn't kiss,"
"Fine, whatever you say," Amy said sarcastically, Sarah stared at her,
"You still don't believe me do you," Sarah said flatly,
"Nope," Amy said then laughed. Then Maranda and Lyserg walked up to them,
"Hay guys," Maranda said,
"Hay, you going to cram school today," Sarah said,
"Na, I'm going to Lysergs," Maranda said, then looked at Lyserg and smiled,
"Oh, hope you have a nice time," Amy said then looked at her watch, "Oh, gotta go, my mum's taking me shopping today, bye," Amy said and waved to them whilst running out of the school gates, they waved to her calling bye as well,
"We'd best be going too, I'm still slightly worried that the guys have decided to trash the house and lock the butler in the basement…again, so we better go," Lyserg said walking off, and Maranda followed,
"Ok bye," Sarah said and waved to them as they left," Well guess we're walking home together," Sarah said,
"Nope, I've gotta go to the mall today, see you," Jenn said walking away,
"Well, guess I'm walking home alone then," Sarah said and started heading home. (Soz Sez)
When Lyserg and Maranda got to Lysergs home Lyserg asked Maranda to stay outside for a bit so he could petrol the house,
"Guy's I'm home," Lyserg shouted and as soon as he said it Tamao, Jun, Horo, Yoh and Prika rushed up to him and were shouting words that he couldn't make out, "Guys, guys, GUYS!" He shouted and they all shut up, "Right, what happened?" Lyserg said and Tamao spoke up,
"Hao stuffed Manta in the Microwave and welded the door shut so we can't get him out and is threatening to 'turn the heat up on him'," She said,
"Choco told a very unfunny joke and Ren threw him to high and now he's hanging from the flag pole on the back wall of the house getting the wedgi of a life time and we cant get him down," Jun said,
"I kinda locked the butler in the basement again and lost the key and now we can't get him out… again" Horo said,
"I was listening to my tunes in your CD player and Anna turned the volume right up and apart from almost wrecking my hearing it kinda blew up and the room is now wrecked… and the electricity's out," Yoh said,
"Why didn't you tell me that?" Tamao shouted,
"Your problem is Hao, he'll find an other way, trust me," Yoh said, Tamao had a 'so-true' face on then an 'oh-shit' face,
"We're outa milk and Ren's starting to loose it," Prika said, Lyserg sighed,
"Right, Horo, here's the master key," Lyserg said and handed Horo the master key and he ran off, "Jun, I'll sort out Choco," Jun nodded," Prika, here's £10 go buy as much milk as you can," He handed Prika $10 and she ran out the door," Yoh , ask the James to clean up the mess and I'll pay for the CD player but you owe me, Tamao, take Yoh and get Hao to un-weld the Microwave," they both nodded and turned to head for the kitchen when Lyserg grabbed Yoh's shoulder, "Yoh, can I speak to you fro a moment?"
"Sure," Yoh said,
"Well, I sorta invited my friend over and… well she's kinda human and… and-"Lyserg stuttered,
"You want me to make sure Hao's doesn't kill her," Yoh said, Lyserg nodded,"Ok,"
"Great," Lyserg said and he went back to tell Maranda she can come in.
Maranda and Lyserg then went into the main room which is now practically black and the James the butler and Horo were now cleaning up room up, Maranda stared in horror,
'Maby I should have just accepted the fact that I'm not human and watched this, I might have been able to stop this,' Maranda thought, shouting was then heard from the kitchen,
"Hao let Manta out now!" Yoh shouted at his brother, they went though, Yoh didn't look to happy, Hao was standing cross armed facing his twin in front of the microwave witch was housing a petrified from the fear of being nuclerly re-heated, Tamao standing behind Yoh, and Ren standing in the corner his eye twitching and eating a lump of cheese in an attempt to fill his craving for milk,
"Why?" Hao asked, and then noticed Lyserg,"Hi,"
"Hi," Lyserg said,
"Cause if you fry Manta your gonna get in trouble from the Patch tribe, you know they're still watching you," Yoh said,
"Good point, but still-"Hao started,
"And if you do you're diary goes on the internet," Yoh said grinning evilly, Hao totally turned red,
"Diary?" everyone accept Hao and Yoh said, Hao's face was beat red now,
"N-n-no," Hao said,
"Yip, I know were you hide it, and unless you let Manta out the biggest secrets that are in it gets e-mailed to everyone we know," Hao flinched, Lyserg and everyone else was trying not to laugh, "and you know I'm thinking of having a little reunion in a few weeks," Everyone started sniggering," and what's in it isn't the only embarrassing thing about it, what was the colour again? P-"Yoh was cut short,
"Ok, Ok, I'll get him out," Hao said, his original colour was no longer visible, since he was that red, he turned around and started melting the side of the microwave door and pulled it open and Manta fell out, "Happy?"
"Yes, oh and on the 6th page what's that drawing of you and-"Yoh said,
"None of you business!" Hao said turning red again,
"Ok, I better go sort Choco out okay," Lyserg said turning to Maranda,"You stay down hear and get acquainted with the guys," Maranda nodded and ran up the stairs,
"What Choco do now?" Hao asked,
"Made a very bad joke and I threw him to high and he's been hanging from the flag pole by his boxers for the last hour and half," Ren said then took a bite out of his cheese, Hao laughed out loud then,
"HAHAHA! Nice one Renny," Hao said and Ren hit him on the head,
"Don't call me Renny," Ren said and ate more cheese when Prika ran in with a bag, Ren raised an eyebrow when she reached into the bag and smiled when she pulled out a carton of Milk,
"Ren catch," She tossed him it and he intently took the straw off the side of the carton and started drinking it, then Prika started putting all the cartons into the fridge, Then a yell was heard from outside,
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Then a thud. Jun then poked her head around the kitchen door, everyone stared at her with a 'What-the-fuck-was-that?' faces on,
"Oh it's Ok, Lyserg just got Choco down," Jun said, and then Choco limped in rubbing his head,
"Ow," Choco said and Lyserg came down the stairs,
"Have any of you seen Morphin?" Lyserg asked, Maranda jumped a bit, no one noticed though,
"She told me this morning that she was heading into the woods, I haven't see her since," Hao said staring at Maranda, she was sweating a bit,
"Oh OK," Lyserg said, he then noticed Hao was staring at Maranda," Hao," Hao looked at him," Why are you staring at Maranda?" Hao was slightly taken aback by this,
"erm, I, I don't think you've introduced us to your friend," Hao said, everyone rose an eyebrow, it wasn't like Hao to be like that,
"Erm, well, this is Maranda, everyone," Lyserg said, slightly weary of Hao, Maranda was staring at Hao,
'Ok, Morphin, holds it together, you can't act like you know him because you'll get totally busted just gotta be nice… I know I'm gonna kill myself later,' Maranda thought, Hao rose an eyebrow to her, he'd herd it all,
'Morphin,' Hao thought, then looked at her amulet,' ahh, the form amulet, smart Morphin, but why did you change your for to go to school?' Hao thought, still staring at her, Maranda was now very uncomfortable,
"Err, Lyserg," She asked, not looking away from Hao, Lyserg looked at her,"I, I need to use the bathroom-"
"Oh, sure, upstairs, third door on your left," Lyserg said, Hao kept his eye's on her, she swetdroped,
"O-Ok," She said and went upstairs; Hao's eye's following her,
"Er… I'm gonna go re-hide my diary," Hao said and went upstairs too,' After I get some answers.'
Upstairs Maranda was about to head into the bathroom when Hao stopped her,
"Hi," Hao said, Maranda looked at the floor,
"H-Hi," Maranda said, Hao reached up to her necklace and held the pink amulet bit,
"Nice necklace, I'd like to get a friend of mines one, were did you get it?" Hao asked,
"Ehhhh… I-I… it's a family heirloom," Maranda said, blushing, 'Why on earth am I finding this embarrassing, I live with the guy!' she thought, Hao heard again,
"Oh, dose it have a name… say, Form amulet," Hao said, Maranda looked up at him, shock on her face, he grinned,"Yip, busted," he laughed,
"How…how" Marada said, he taped his temple,
"You really need to work on blocking your thoughts," Hao said,
"Guess your gonna tell Lyserg then," Maranda said looking sad, Hao looked kinda shocked,
"No, I was evil, and I'm still a bit evil but I'm not that evil," Hao said, Maranda looked joyful for a moment," There's just one thing that still confuses me," She looked at him curiously ,"Why do you wanna be human?" Maranda stared back at the ground,
"I… I… I just wanted to… be taller," Maranda said,' Note to self: work on my lying,' she thought, Hao laughed,
"Yeh, you do remember that I can read your mind," Hao said ," give me the real reason or I'll take this amulet and Maranda drops out of existence," Hao said tugging on the amulet a bit, Maranda gasped, and griped his hand on her amulet,
"No, don't," She said staring up at him,
"Then give me the real reason," Hao said, and tugged the amulet again, she griped harder, he winched slightly,'Whoa, she's gotten quite a bit of strength from that amulet,' Hao thought,
"I… I can't tell you," Maranda said," You'll laugh," she whispered,
"Try me," Hao said, and hugged the amulet again, a small tug was heard, she knew she didn't have a choice now,
"I love him," she said, and closed her eyes, Hao had a surprised expression on… but there was an other expression there that was impossible to read, "This is the only way I can be with him," Maranda let go of his hand and he let go of the amulet,
"Whoa," Hao said,"And don't worry, I won't tell the guy's," Maranda jumped,
"Really," Marada said, Hao nodded, "Oh Thank You," She said and hugged him, he stood shocked for a minutes, then rapped his arms around her,
"Y-Your welcome… Maranda," Hao said, Maranda laughed a bit, then let go of him,
"You know, you're not as heartless as I thought you were," Maranda said,
"Eh, thanks… I… Think," Hao said, "I gotta go now, gotta re-hide my diary so Yoh doesn't have anything on me any more," Hao said turning around,
"OK," Maranda said,"See you downstairs," Maranda said, Hao nodded and walked along the hall.
He was just about to walk into his room when he heard a ring tone; he jumped, looked around, then pulled his mobile and looked at the text,
'Sarah,' He thought, he looked around and opened the door to his room, went in, locked it and leaned against the door to read the message,
'Hi, Howz U doin? Wanna meat up? Tb, Sarah xxx,'
He stared at the text, then stared his reply,
'Hi Sez, Doin fine. Sure we can meat up, u chooze da place, tb, Hao xxx,'
He sent the message and waited for a reply, but in the mean time he decided to re-hide his diary. He took it out from under a floorboard that he found loose under the bed and looked around his room to find somewhere else to hide it. The diary was Pink, he didn't want it to be pink, it was too girly, bit he couldn't get die that wouldn't rune the pages, he had drew a really good picture of him sitting on a throne with the SOF behind it and glued it to the from of the diary, then in red pen (or at least we hope it pen) it read 'HAO'S DIARY! ANYONE WHO READS IT WITHOUT PROMITION IS SHIKIGAMI FOOD!', he then noticed a hole in the roof just big enough for the diary to fit, he dragged the chair over from the desk and stood it next to the wardrobe, he then stood on the chair and stood on his tip toes, still to short (that's new), he jumped and started pulling himself up, he put the diary on top of the Wardrobe and kept his head down so he wouldn't bang it against the ceiling. He had just about got up when the mobile started ringing, he lifted himself up to height and banged his head on the ceiling and came crashing back down, Horo who was walking by then heard the crashing and stared at the door straingly,
"Hao! Are You Ok!" He shouted, a grown was heard from inside the room, Horo shrugged and kept on walking. Hao was lying n on the ground one foot propped up against the Wardrobe, the other laying freely, the chair was now laying on top of Hao, one arm over the top of it, twitching, the other laying on the ground, the mobile vibrating not to far away from him on the wooden floor, he growled again. He felt around for the phone with his free hand and eventually came across it he picked it up and held it over the chair so he could see it,
"Hmmmmm,"He said, as he read the message,
'Ok, Howz bout the mall? I no a nice Pizza place there, and its cheep, tb, Sarah xxx'
Hao pushed the chair off him and sat up, rubbing the back of his head, he thought again before replying,
'Okayz, meat u there soon, k? Tb, Hao xxx'
He sent the message and it wasn't long before he got the reply,
'Okayz, se u there, luv u, Sarah xxx'
He then got back up on the Wardrobe and put the diary on the hole before getting back down, putting the chair back and getting changed for the date. He opened the dresser, and pulled out a red top with flames, top off his poncho witch he had been waiting and put the red top on not bothering to button it up and left the room.
He ran down stairs and by the living room shouting,
"I'm heading out for a bit, be back late, possibly not, see you later," Hao was just about to leave the house when Yoh stopped him,
"You changed your shirt… got a date with Sarah again" Yoh asked, Hao blushed,
"Yeh," He whispered,
"Ok, see you later," Yoh said and went back to the living room. Yoh went back to the living room and Lyserg and Maranda were sitting next to each other,
"Dinner will be ready shortly," Ryu announced from the kitchen,
"Eh, Lyserg, maby I should go home now," Maranda said,
"No, stay for dinner, Ryu's a great cook," Lyserg said,
'Don't I know it,' Marada thought," Well, Ok, but then I have to go home," Lyserg smiled, everyone was glaring at him, he gave them a 'What?' look and they all looked away. Maranda stayed for tea and then 'went home', she ducked into the nearest ally and changed back to her real form and flew home.
