Heart Throb continues! This is a really short chapter and instead of ending in something humorous, it's slightly thoughtful.

The five of them sat down in Yoh's living room Thursday afterschool, three of them letting out a sigh. Ren, Horohoro, Yoh, Pirika, and Anna. Ren just sat there, thinking of the worst ways to torture the drama teacher.

I could put blood in his coffee... I'm not sure that I'm free of any blood-related diseases, so that could work, but if not, my blood type might not kill him if he's type AB...

"Ren?"

I could put small daggers in where he would least expect them...

"Renny?"

I'll just kill him when I graduate. It seems the least complex. An arrow through the head and heart shall do. Dripping with the poisons that mother gave me that will melt his skin and torture him if he doesn't have an instant death.

"REN!"

"Yes?" The Chinese shaman asked, agitated. "What do you need Ainu-baka? Is it so important as to interrupt my train of thoughts?"

"Where's the tape of your singing scene? Dr. Thespian didn't have it when I asked for it." Horohoro asked.

A blush appeared across the middle of the Tao's face when he was reminded of the recording of the only embarrassing moment the teen ever had.

"You don't need to know." he said. "Why do you want it anyways? It's not professional anyways."

"I wanna see it." the Ainu said. "and use it to blackmail you!"

"No. Absolutely not. No."

"Why not?" Horohoro asked.

"I don't have it. If I carried it on me, surely it would already have been broken." Ren stated. "and I'll never tell you who does."

Yoh shook his head; their bickering was about to begin again.

"I can only guess." the Ainu said.

"That's right." the violet haired teen said. "However, with that brain that has nothing in it, you won't find out who. Unless it was really that obvious..."

To the brunette's surprise, Horohoro didn't retort, he just sighed.

"I'm guessing the right person probably..." the snowboarder said. "but just in case..."

The Tao's eyes widened as the blue haired teen dangled a red razor in front of them, a clear and bold lable saying "Tao Ren." Ren looked through his pockets, never realizing he lost his cellphone.

"Fell out of your blazers when you were changing for the bloody scene where you slay Tybalt." Horohoro said. "'I don't want to get my clothes dirtied' remember? Uwa!"

He dodged out the way of the kwan dao Ren used to try and spear him with.

"Give it back!" he yelled.

Laughing, the Ainu ran outside, grabbing his snowboard and flipping the phone open.

"Jun, Jun, Jun...Here it is! Ah!"

He ducked just as the spear Ren wielded shot past his face. It was close to making a slice on his cheek.

"Ren?"

"No, this is Horohoro." the snowboarder said. "I wanted to ask you if you had Ren's singing video that was taped for the play. I want it."

"Actually..."

"Golden Chuuka Zanmai!"

Yoh stood in the doorway, watching Horohoro fall to the ground as Ren caught the phone before it broke against the stone floor. The violet haired teen sighed in relief, now having control of the situation in his own hands.

"Onee-chan." Ren said. "Horohoro was playing with my phone."

"It's okay! Oh, it's a good thing he called me, because I have to tell you something." Jun said.

"What is it?"

The violet haired teen stood his kwan dao against the floor and slightly leaned onto it. He was sure the next words were ones he wouldn't like.

"Mom and Dad were watching your singing performance and they sent you a copy. It should be at Yoh's house by now."

"They what?! But he hasn't gotten any mail for the past week."

"Hmm.. That's odd. Oh well, nice talking to you ototou. Bye!"

Ren shut the phone and glanced at Horohoro, who was knocked out on the floor. He was very upset.

"It's good that he didn't hear onee-chan. He would have torn apart the Asakura house just to find it."

He sighed, walking over to the blue haired shaman and hit him on the head with the blunt end of his spear.

"Ainu-baka."

Later that day...

"Watcha watchin' Pirika?" Horohoro asked.

"A video tape that Anna gave me." Pirika said.

Her older brother came over and sat down next to her.

"Ah! This is Ren's singing scene!" he exclaimed, seeing Ren on the screen. "I worked this hard to get it and you had it all along?"

"Yeah. Anna found it while she was looking through the mail. Oh! Look, it's Ren."

He suddenly quieted when Ren began to sing, a noticable blush on his cheeks. Various thoughts he had nearly lead him to be insane.

It's an sweet moment,

why is it you?

I'm falling in deep,

what should I do?

B-bmp

He sounds like an angel. Horohoro thought. Despite his outward looks. I wish I was there to hear him sing. A beautiful angel...

The elder Ainu gave a small laugh.

Love at first sight,

yes it's true.

I've fallen down deep

in love with you...

The lights faded out in the scene and Ren's rarely sentimental face disappeared. Pirika squealed. Horohoro was left in a daze, the lyrics that Ren sang were still swimming in his muddled mind.

"He was so cute!" she said.

"Mm.." her brother said.

He was cute. Cute as a- Wait, WHAT?! This is insane. I am insane. I'd better go to sleep. Yeah, I'm insane.

That night, for some reason, Pirika AND Horohoro were blessed with Ren's haunting face in their sleep. Although... instead of dread, they actually enjoyed it. Even when Horohoro woke the next morning, the Chinese shaman was still on his mind.

"Ren..."
