Karaoke.
Yoh looked out of the window and saw a blue haired boy dragging a pink haired girl.
'Yoh, she'll be okay, ' he mumbled to himself, ashamed of himself. He had intentionally hurt someone who he knew loved him.
"HoroHoro- kun, where are we going?" The pink haired girl questioned the blue haired boy whom had dragged her along on the streets for the past hour.
"I have no idea, any suggestions?" He answered sheepishly. He had been so angry at the others for not taking Tamao's feelings into account that he had no logical explanation for what he had just done.
"Why did you drag me out then?" Tamao asked, secretly glad that she was not in the onsen where everyone would be celebrating. Looking at HoroHoro's sheepish grin, she sighed.
"Thank you, though. It's probably better being out here then in there," Tamao smiled cheerfully, unwilling to show anyone her weak side anymore. She'll just get hurt. Hurt.
"Tamao, its okay. I don't know what has happened in the past 7 years, but I'm sure you are still allowed to shed tears,"
"No, I shouldn't cry. I'll be strong. Don't worry about me, HoroHoro-kun, I'll be alright. I'm just sad that I fell into the trap twice," Tamao muttered, her face showed no inkling of sadness, but it was her eyes which betrayed her heart. HoroHoro was stumped, he has never seen such a strong girl. Unwilling to surrender to her heart; all the more did his heart go out to her.
"Hey, let's go get a Karaoke set!" HoroHoro looked up into those pink orbs, puzzled by her sudden request.
"What's that?" He asked, truly clueless. Tamao laughed at HoroHoro's face filled with child-like curiosity.
"I'll show you!" Tamao cheerfully said, pulling HoroHoro after her.
"So this is a Karaoke set?" He poked the box, wanting to see what this 'Karaoke Set' was.
"No! It's inside the box. Let's open it when we get back to the onsen," Suddenly dread filled the atmosphere, and the couple looked at each other.
"Anna's going to kill us," HoroHoro started, stuttering slightly.
"Not if we get back soon!" Tamao smiled, the corner of her eye had caught sight of a bicycle.
"And why is it me who's pedaling?" HoroHoro whined.
"Because you can't let a girl pedal you around on a bicycle. It's not good for your image, anyway." Tamao said carelessly, securing the Karaoke Set tightly to the front of HoroHoro. HoroHoro pouted, not entirely pleased. Suddenly, a thought lit up his face. Tamao's going to have to put her arms round him!
And he cheerfully got onto the seat and motioned Tamao to get on too.
"Hold on tight," He said, as he took Tamao's hands are wrapped them around his waist, watching as the long-lost blushed resurfaced. Satisfied, he zoomed away on his 'horse' with the blushing princess he may one day hold in his arms. Tamao laid her head against HoroHoro's back, and let the two tears she had been holding back flow down her cheeks. HoroHoro knew then that he may not be able to hold his blushing princess so soon. But, he was not one to give up. Nope, he was not going to do that.
Thank You to those who have acknowledged me. I'm not much of a writer but I hope to be a good one with this story. I love the paring and realized there are not enough of this paring.
