Note: Sorry I've not been uploading weekly! I've just started University and been very very busy! I'll try to be more regular from now on. But for now, here's your next piece:

"Pirika?" called Tamao shakily looking around the front of the living room. Lifting up boxes and magazines as she moved around quickly.

"Yeah Tamao?" replied Pirika from the kitchen. A loud crash suddenly came from the kitchen, followed by the noise that metal makes when it shivers along the floor before completely keeping still. "Shoot..." she muttered.

"Is everything alright in there?" called Tamao still looking.

"Yeah, just dropped a few pots and cooking pans, that's all," she said picking them up and putting them back on the cooking counter.

"Hey Pirika have you seen my ouija board? I knew it was around here somewhere..." she said lifting up the mat in the center of the carpet and then moving to look under the chairs.

"Have you tried in the closet?" said Pirika beginning to cut up some carrots and celery and placing a pot under a running tap as she did so.

"Yes and it isn't there."

"Is this what you're looking for?" smiled Yoh stood at the door holding up the ouija board.

"Yoh! What a pleasant surprise!" laughed Tamao. "I have been so worried about you since last night!" Yoh passed the board back to Tamao, suddenly after staring at Yoh for a few seconds, Tamao put both of her hands on her face and then looked puzzled. Pirika walked into the room wiping her wet hands with a cloth.

"Hi Yoh!" smiled Pirika. "My brother is still sore at you. I told him you were hot and it was your water so you could do what you want."

"Yes...yes exactly yes good girl." laughed Yoh. Tamao dropped the board onto the floor, continuing to feel her face. She jumped backwards a few spaces and then glanced in the mirror that was on the wall on her left. She eyed her face over and over repeatedly saying out loud to herself.

"Oh! Gosh! Wow!"

"Is something the matter Tamao?" asked Pirika swinging the cloth over her shoulder and then putting her hands on her hips.

"Don't I usually go red by now? And why aren't I embarrassed to say that?" she said loudly and casually. Yoh began to laugh.

"And why would you be embarrassed around me exactly?" he then lifted his hand to his hair and then smoothed his new straighter hair down and placed his hand in his pocket and then smiled his new hypnotic smile at her. She looked at him and after a few more seconds, she did indeed go incredibly pink.

"Oh my god..." she gasped. "Yoh you're..."

"Different..." finished Pirika. "I noticed it before...I knew something was different..."

"Oh?" blinked Yoh still smiling. "And, can you point out what it is for me?"

"Yeah! It's..." trailed off Pirika.

"It's..." repeated Tamao.

"It's your complete imagination." he chuckled. "Complete Imagination."

"Uhm… Yeah, you're probably right." Tamao said, smiling a little.

"Anyways, I should probably get going. Just wanted to see you girls for a bit." He said, heading out the door. "Bye!"

"Bye, Yoh…"

Once he was out the door, he shook his head. "They're a bit sharper than they look," he said, sighing with relief. "Oh well…"

"Hey, Yoh!" A familiar voice called. "How are you doing? I've only been gone a week, but it feels like ages!"

"…Manta?"

"Yeah?"

"Glad you're back. Hey, lets go back to my place and get a cool drink, shall we?"

"Yeah Yoh that sounds great. It's awfully hot today!" Manta laughed, wiping his forehead. Yoh smiled.

"Yoh, is… something wrong? You don't seem like yourself today."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you seem like you have something on your mind. You don't have a carefree smile, you look different, and you're not even wearing your headphones! And where is Amidamaru?"

"Ah, Manta, too many questions. I'm fine, okay?"

"Well, okay, if you're sure…"

"I am." Yoh said again, opening the door to his home and getting a coke from the fridge. He handed it to Manta.

"Thanks!" Manta said happily. He sipped it contentedly.

"Erm, Manta, I'll be right back. I have something I need to take care of…"

"Huh? …Okay, Yoh." He said, taking another sip of his pop. Yoh went out of the room, shaking his head. He walked into his room, and shut the door quietly. Manta shook his head. "Something is wrong with Yoh. Maybe I should go see…" He walked over to Yoh's room, and heard laughing on the inside. He opened the door a crack to hear better.

"Those fools. They really don't know that it's Hao talking to them, not Yoh. We are so different. I thought it was obvious who I was."

"No…" Manta blurted out. Yoh turned around quickly enough to see Manta dash away from the door. He laughed carelessly, then went outside in the garden, finding Manta. "Manta, I really wish that you hadn't seen that. Then I wouldn't have to kill you…"

"Don't do this! I know you've probably absorbed his soul again! Please! Yoh, if there's anything left of you, help me! Please!" he yelled. Yoh just laughed.

"You think that will save you now?" He gave Manta a piercing stare, one frigid enough to create a blizzard. His eyes darkened, and his lips curled into an ominous and wicked smirk. Lifting his hand, summoning flames in his palms about to strike, Manta fainted from fear. Yoh tilted his head to the side, confused. "I didn't even touch him. No matter." He summoned the Spirit of Fire now, and it picked up Manta. "Dispose of him. I don't care what you do, just make sure I never see him again." He said, turning around and walking back into the house. As he walked through the hall once more, he heard a call from the front door. "Anna! I'm here!"

"Jun…" he murmured coving his mouth and opening the door next to him, not caring to who it was. When looking in front of himself as he shut the door behind him, Ren jumped up from sitting on the other side of his bed.

"Yoh!" he exclaimed quickly wiping his face with his collar.

"Yes?" smiled Yoh.

"Oh...erm...I want to see my sister...could you tell her where I am...please..." to Ren's surprise, Yoh suddenly bowed slowly before him.

"Anything for you Tao Ren." he chuckled then turning exiting the room. Once he had left Ren sat back down on the floor again and curled up into comfort. When reaching the kitchen, Yoh could hear the two girls talking. He stood outside the door for a moment and listened.

"Anna is something the matter with you?" gently asked Jun leaning over Anna. Anna was sat on the kitchen chair with her hands on her lap and she was concentrating on the floor.

"No..." she whispered very quietly. So faint Yoh didn't even hear her until Jun continued.

"Don't say No when it is obviously meant to be a Yes. Anna tell me what is wrong..." as Anna was about to open her mouth to reply, Yoh took his queue and strolled in.

"Hello there Jun!" smiled Yoh trying his very best to put on the most carefree smile he could.

"Hi Yoh." said Jun no emotion in her reply. Yoh scratched his head.

"Ren is asking for you Jun." he said after a few moments.

"Oh? Ren?" she said standing. "Which way?" she smiled approaching.

"Third door on your left." he said holding his hand toward the direction Jun was to take. Once Jun had reached the correct door Yoh approached Anna...

"Ren?" said Jun knocking upon her brother's door. "May I come in?"

"Is Yoh with you?" came a faint voice from inside.

"No he's with Anna..."

"Okay come in and close the door behind you..." Jun opened the door delicately and then shut it behind her. She shifted some loose hairs out of her face and then blinked looking around the room. She only noticed him when she spotted the purple point sticking up on the other side of the bed.

"Little brother? Why are you sitting down there?" laughed Jun walking around to the other side and then sitting on the bed next to him.

"I want to be as far away from Asakura as possible." he muttered.

"Yoh? He is your friend why are you hiding from him." she said placing her hand on his shoulder.

"He...said...some things..." stammered Ren trying not to burst into painful tears.

"Oh?" blinked Jun sitting up. "Why kind of things?"

"Painful...things..." Ren sucked his lip in. Jun found her brother needed her more than ever at this vulnerable stage and slid down the bedside to sit and be with him. She put both her arms around him and snuggled him up tight with her.

"Come on now...tell me everything that happened."

"It...is..." sniffed Ren. "It...is...too painful for me to repeat. But if I didn't know any better I swear that he is his twin brother after the way he treated me." angered Ren waving his right hand up in the air to show how much he meant it.

"hmmm...his twin brother you say..."
