AN; OK, I've got an inspired mind and I'm taking advantage of it whilst I've got it. Anyway, on with the show!
Returning the sandal
The next day Horo and Ren had returned home early In the morning, that was not unnoticed my Hao who took the liberty of his revenge (yeah he's still stuck on that). Everyone had got back from the movie not long after Morphin made it home and Anna and Yoh had also arrived home late, and were both still sleeping in theirs room. Everyone else accepts Ren and Horo (who needed some rest as it was XD) were either in the living room watching TV or in the kitchen having breakfast. Hao was sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bole of cereal, and Little Morphin was sitting on the salt, staring into space, when Lyserg came in, pored himself a cup of coffee before sitting opposite him and put the sandal that Maranda had left behind last night. Hao had to hold back a full blown laugh, but still snorted,
'I don't fucking believe it! She fucking forgot the sandal!' He thought. Lyserg looked at him,
"What are you laughing about?" He asked the fire-user,
"Oh nothing, just something funny I saw on TV last night," Hao said, trying to look honest. Lyserg just shrugged and went back to his coffee as Hao ate a spoonful of his cereal, looking down at the little pink pixie with a smug look. Morphin looked up at him, blushing,
'He's never gonna let me live this one down,' she though,
'There's no way I'm gonna let her live this one down,' Hao though as Manta walked into the room, reading a book.
"Wa'cha got their Manta?" Lyserg asked. Manta looked up at him before looking back down at the book, checking the cover briefly,
"Some book I found in the bathroom, hiding under the toilet, I noticed it and wanted to see what the heck it was," Hao started in shock at the wall behind Lyserg,
"T-Toilet?" Hao stuttered out,
"What? Did you move your diary their?" Lyserg asked, smirking, Hao turned red,
"So you know I've moved it?" Lyserg nodded,
"It's not Hao's diary, its about magical items," Manta said, Morphin suddenly looked at Hao with a look of fear on her face, Hao had told Morphin how he'd found out about the full-moon-warning thing last night before Lyserg returned home.
"Hao why did you hide that?" Lyserg asked Hao, who tried to look innocent,
"What make's you think that I hid it?" Hao asked,
"The look on your face when Manta said he'd found it behind the toilet," Lyserg said, "… why the toilet?"
"Cause no one looks behind the toilet," Hao said," Well normal people do," he side glanced at Manta,
"Your one to talk…" Manta said absent mindedly. He was just about to flip the page when Hao stood up, put the bowl in the sink and walked past Manta, taking the book of him on the way,
"Thanks," he said mockingly before running up the stairs as the short boy started chasing him,
"Hay I was reading that!" Their was a slam of a door and pounding fists on wood before the two remaining occupants of the kitchen sighed. Morphin then stood up on the table and flew to the window, pulling at the bottom trying to open it,
"Heading out into the forest again?" Lyserg asked,
"Yip," Morphin said, before letting go of the window and falling on her but," Why can't pixies go though walls too?" She asked no one in particular, Lyserg sighed and got up, walking over to her,
"I dunno. You know your spending a lot of your time in the Forest lately," Lsyerg said, opening the window and holding it open for Morphin, who stood on the windowsill and looked up at her master,
"Well it's quiet their, especially compared to here," She said, just about to fly off,
"You're also getting very buddy-buddy with Hao. Why's that?" Lyserg was suspicious,
"Because I'm taking your advice, I shouldn't wallow in the past. And if you've got over what he did, or pretty far into forgiving, then I should too," Morphin smiled sweetly up at him before flying off. Lyserg closed the window and sat back down at the table. Yoh then walked in, Yawning before sitting down were Hao was sitting before,
"How's things going?" Yoh asked, in jus usually care-free way,
"OK really. Have you noticed that Morphine's been acting weird lately?" he asked. Yoh started at the ceiling, thinking before answering,
"Well a little bit. Just after you leave for school every morning she goes into the forest, saying she'll be back late. Did she used to do that?" Yoh asked, Lyserg shook his head,
"Nope. She's also been getting really friendly with Hao. It's strange," Lyserg sighed before gulping down the remainder of his coffee before standing up, picking the shoe up and starting to walk out of the room,
"Were are you going Lyserg?" Yoh asked, Lyserg stopped and turned to the carefree Asakura, smiling,
"I have to return Maranda's shoe to her," he stated before leaving the room, and soon the house.
Morphin sat on a random branch in the woods behind Lysergs house. She looked up at the blue sky though the leaves and was just about to dose off when;
"Hi Morphin!" and doing what anything would do at that moment, she got such a shock that she jumped 20 inches in the air and hit her head off the branch above her.
"Ow," she started, lying back down to the branch she was previously on," why dose that always happen to me,"
"I will never know, Morphin," The person who had spoken before said, Morphin turned to see her mother standing before her,
"MUM!" She jumped forward and hugger her mum, who hugger her back,
"Hi, nice to see a much better welcoming than last time," Melody said, stopping the hug between them," I take it the amulet is going great,"
"You bet! Me and Lyserg went out on our first date last night-"
"Lat night? It was a-"Melody started, a look of shock on her face,
"I know about the full moon thing mum." Morphin said, cutting her mum off, "Hao found it in one of the book In the library. I think he's trying to hide it at the moment, mind if he didn't phone me about Morphin would of vanished,"
"Well, I guess that's good, and its patched up the gaping hole in you and Hao's friendship,"
"What friendship? We didn't have a friendship before this," Morphin said," I'll tell you one thing, he can really pull though when you need him too," Melody giggled a bit,
"I bet he does. I was just really checking up on you, but you do know you can't live two lives for ever, you have to tell him eventually," Morphin's face dropped,
"I know, but can't it be later, I don't want to face him yet…" She said, starring at the ground,
"I know you don't, I 'm just reminding you that you'll have to eventually," Melody said,"… Well I've killed the mood around here," Morphin laughed when suddenly theirs was a bang coming form the house,
"What the heck have they managed to break now!?!" Morphin shouted, glaring in the direction of the house," Gotta go," Melody nodded,
"You go kick the idiot that's broke whatever," Morphin laughed, before waving to her mother and flying back to the house.
Lyserg walked up the street were Maranda lived, the sandal dangling in his right hand as he approached the house. The only thing was that today their was a moving van in the driveway. Lyserg started at it as men took boxes from inside the van and into the garage,
'HUH? All their stuff is just arriving today?' Lsyerg though. He walked up to the door and knocked. A man in his late 30's with short dark hair and a polo shirt and tie on. He was also waring glasses,
"Can I help you?" the man asked, he seemed kind,
"Eh, sorry to bother you but can I see Maranda?" He asked. The man seemed confused,
"Maranda? I'm sorry but me and my wife are the only one's living here, and she's certainly not called Maranda," He said. Lyserg tilted his head to the side,
"But, I picked Maranda up here last night," The man laughed,
"My dear boy I think you're getting reality mixed up with a dream. Me and Suzan just moved in today,"
"Oh, that makes no… sorry to bother you sir," Lsyerg apologised,
"It's no problem. Kids these days," The mad said before closing the door. Lyserg walked back down the driveway and looked at the house again,
'But this was defiantly the right house…' Lyserg though, starting to walk down the road,' what the heck is going on?'
