Chapter 5- Something Fishy

"Len? Why don't you go deliver these cream puffs to Yoh and Anna's?" Ran Tao asked Len, just like Jun had once said but now she mostly locked herself up in her room though Len wasn't told why.

"They're gone," he said, concentrating on the videogame he had been playing since the whole day.

"Gone? Gone where?" she asked, placing the cream puff-filled box beside Len.

"Somewhere," he mumbled, his eyes glued to the screen.

"Len will you answer me properly!" she commanded and switched off the television.

"What! Noooooo!!! Mom!!!" he turned back, irritated, "Do you know how much time it took to reach that level, I-" then he saw the look on his mother's face and quickly added, "All right! But they're not home. I'll leave it outside." He picked the box up grumpily and walked out the door.

"I can't believe she switched it off. Whatever! It was a stupid game anyway. I'd rather work out from now on," he muttered to himself. It was afternoon and the torturing sun was gleaming in the sky. Len angrily stomped his way to their house and rang the bell, instinctively. He was about to drop the box on the floor and leave when somebody pulled the door open. Len looked up to see a gazing Tamera. His heart began to beat quickly,

"Oh! uh- here," he handed her the box, "Mom made these-a-creampuffs for you guys." She took the box shyly and said, almost in a whisper,

"Okay, Thanks, Len. Do come in," she stepped aside for him to enter.

"Uh!" Len could feel his cheeks grow hotter, "No, it's -a-no thanks. I've got to go train," he replied, making up whatever he had to just so he could get away.

"Oh, all right," Tamera said, disappointed. Not that Len cared, or did he? Suddenly he spoke up,

"Maybe- I-I could stay for a-a little while," he stuttered, wearing a frown on his face. He slowly entered the house. Tamera tried to smile; though she knew her pink cheeks would give away everything. She walked in unsteadily.

"I-I'll get you some thing. Juice?" then she remembered he loved milk, "Or milk?" she added. Len smiled weakly and sat down on a couch,

"Sure. Thanks!" he looked around. Tamera walked in the kitchen.

Why did I agree to stay! What the heck is wrong with me? I feel strange! Len looked around, towards the window. He thought he saw a mane of dark purple hair but quickly pushed the thought away. Tamera returned after a few minutes and handed Len a cool glass of milk.

"Thank you," he said and took it. Again he felt eyes on them. He looked around suspiciously, his yellow eyes trying to take in every detail.

"Len?" Tamera asked and he snapped back.

"Yeah?" he whispered and, "Yaa," he was shocked to see her sitting beside him.
"Well," she blushed while saying, "I was wondering if-" she didn't get a chance to say another word. A sharp piece of wood came flying through the window and hit her on the head so hard that blood trickled down her cheek.

"Tamera!" Len cried and got up, "Are you- okay?" he spat out and touched her wound. Suddenly he remembered the wood and he span around, "Who's there?" Len ran towards the window and saw- no one. He remembered the purple locks of hair, which made him sick to the stomach. No! It can't be. No way… He ran back to Tamera who was sitting upright on the ground. She was weeping silently, her hand covering the wound and blood-soaked. He quickly tore a piece of cloth from his shirt and wiped the blood off, "It'll be all right- Tam," he smiled a cute smile.

Tam? That was the first time he had called her that! Her heart tried to swell with joy but the pain was too much to bear. She smiled weakly and moved her hand towards Len's but suddenly pulled it back. She was…gosh…shy! Len was looking at it looked at it from the corner of his eye and felt himself blushing. She probably just wanted to say thank you. Len tried to assure himself No way she likes you, Len. No way! Whew!

"What- what was that," she stuttered, her pink strands blood and tear soaked. Then she added, "Thank you, Len. I think I'm better now" He was busily tying a spirit-soaked, white cloth around her forehead. He smiled and helped her stand up. His hands and arms shuddered and grew hot while touching her. Tamera felt goosebumps run down her spine. She thanked him over and over again.

Oh… I love you so much Len! She looked at him lovingly. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. Len was such a caring person once you got to know him! He was so wonderful. Tamera opened her mouth to say something when there was the sound of a bell and Len got up slowly to open the door. Yoh came in, greeting Len and carrying millions of shopping bags but his face twisted into a horrified expression when he saw Tamera and her injured head. He opened his mouth and spurted out,

"What the! What in the world happened here!!!!!" Anna came in and was speechless.

"W-what," she stuttered and ran up to Tamera.

"I'm all right Anna. Len helped me out. I didn't get much hurt," she smiled up at them.

"Geez thanks Len!" Yoh exclaimed. Funny, Len helping out!

"Heh, well," he muttered and then spoke, "You better watch out, Yoh. There's someone probably spying here-only maybe. Well, Bye!" he slowly walked out the door.

"Bye Len," Tamera called out, "Come- again soon-"she stuttered. Len looked back from the corner of eye. He blushed and walked ahead. He felt a sudden attachment to Tamera. Why? He didn't like her, did he? No way!

Well, Hope you liked it! Oh and people when I update the next chapter I'll change the rating to K+. 'kay. Review. Cheers! SAoRi
