"When is the in flight meal? I'm starving!" happily cheered HoroHoro.
"Is that all you think about? Food?" laughed Yoh.
"Yup! And now you seem better I feel better Yoh!" he said standing up and looking behind him to see if the flight attendants were on their way. Ren reached up and pushed his head down back into his seat.
"Too much attention!" he hissed.
"Oh yeah!" laughed HoroHoro. "Next thing you'll know everyone will think you are some kind of public harm!"
"I might not be public harm but I will harm you if you don't shut up!" grunted Ren.
"Sorry dude." Smiled HoroHoro nudging Yoh, making him giggle as well. Yoh's eyes changed for a second, and he slipped into thought once more.
Is this really happening to me? I'm acting just like Yoh. And…I'm doing such a good job of it; they think I really am Yoh. The suspicion has completely gone. And the worst thing about it is…I like it!
His eyes raised and Yoh put on a very happy grin.
"Yeah! I'm hungry too!" giggled Yoh.
"I miss my friends."
"Sorry did you say something Anna?" said Yoh looking at her. She was watching the TV and then blinked at him.
"Huh?" she muttered.
"Did you say something?" repeated Yoh.
"No." said Anna eyeing the TV again. Yoh heard laughter in his ears, a sort of funny laugh a giggle even.
"Hey what is so funny?" said Yoh turning to look at HoroHoro. HoroHoro had his head turned to look out the window. He wasn't laughing he was daydreaming.
"It's funny. I even miss Anna!"
"Oh no…" gasped Yoh.
"What's wrong?" said Anna looking at him. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Once Anna was watching the TV again. Yoh shook his head. "Go…away…" murmured Yoh under his breath.
"I am you and you are me…"
"Stop! Stop saying that!" yelled Yoh every eye in the cabin on him once again.
"Goodness! Yoh? What's wrong?" gasped Ren.
"Ahh…" Yoh shook his head once again. "Err…Anna? Can you let me out, I need to visit the bathroom."
"Yeah, yeah sure." Said Anna un-buckling her seatbelt and standing up. Yoh scooted out of his seat and walked to the nearest bathroom. Anna sat down again and sighed looking at HoroHoro sadly.
"I thought he was back to normal." She sighed.
"He is. He just needs to adjust. He's been spaced out for a while now. Ever since we got back from ice skating…" HoroHoro covered his mouth suddenly realizing maybe he shouldn't have said that.
"You went ice skating without me! How dare you!" she yelled.
"We're sorry Anna it was Yoh's idea!" shrieked HoroHoro covering his head with his hands. "I didn't know you could ice skate!"
"I don't but I would have learnt if Yoh wanted to go ice skating…" trailed off Anna blushing slightly. "I mean. If Yoh wanted to go erm…"
"That's okay dudette. Yoh likes ya!"
"Yeah I know he told me about 15 minutes ago remember?"
"And how do you feel about him?" Anna opened her mouth to reply but then shut it.
"…"
"That's okay Anna. No need to say anything. Your silence says it all." HoroHoro grinned and laughed to himself. And for some reason, Anna didn't hit him for his curiosity. She just blinked and eyed the TV again.
In the bathroom Yoh splashed his face with water. The bathroom was extremely small and was silver and gray. There was a sign on the door that said no smoking and a mirror that stretched from the sink to the ceiling. Yoh splashed his face with water again and the leant over the sink to stare at himself in the mirror.
"Why do I feel like this?" he muttered shaking his head, water drops shaking off his fringe tails onto the mirror. "Why am I feeling this feeling? Why do I feel…" he stopped himself from saying the word. He pulled a blue paper towel from the dispenser wiping his face dry.
"Guilty?"
Yoh looked up from his towel, and to his horror, his reflection was staring at him with eyes of darkness like two depressed souls entering hell. Yoh lifted his hand to the mirror, his reflection copying.
"Yoh?" he muttered.
"Hao." Said the Yoh in the mirror. His reflection was talking to him!
"How are you doing this?"
"I am inside of you."
"That doesn't explain this!"
"Does everything need an explanation?"
"In this case, yes!"
"Don't I deserve an explanation too? Why you have done this to me in the first place. You know, when you came back, you could have started your life again. You could have been given a second chance!"
"Who in their right minds would give me a second chance?"
"I would."
'You…would? But…why?"
"Because, I still believe in what I always have done. No one evil can see spirits."
"Well you're wrong!"
"Am I?"
"Why would you give me a second chance? Or have you forgotten what I did to you?"
"Because I am your little brother."
"Yoh…"
"And incase you haven't noticed, everyone one of those very good friends of mine used to be my enemy."
"Really?"
"And you like them too don't you?"
"I…"
"You want friends like mine don't you?"
"I have Opacho."
"You like Opacho don't you?"
"Of course I do!"
"She is your friend. And she gave you a second chance didn't she?"
"Yeah…" The reflection Yoh smiled.
"Then that proves it. You like having friends."
"You really think you can make me talk to you about these things?" said Yoh smirking.
"Not all at once. But you have to face up to your real and true feelings once in a while."
"You know nothing about me!"
"Of course I do. Because, I am you."
"I wish you would stop saying that you're like a broken record."
"And you are me."
"Here we go again. See ya Yoh! I am not talking to you anymore."
"Before you shove me in the corner again. I have just one other thing I want to say to you." Suddenly, some one started knocking on the door.
"Hello? Will you hurry it up in there? Knock Knock!" came a voice.
"I'll be out in a second!" called Yoh.
"No you're supposed to say 'who's there' duh!" replied the voice.
"No matter how many times you ignore me or deny my presence, I still am you and I know everything about you."
"Play something else!" snapped Yoh barging out the door and almost sending the guy waiting flying.
"Hey watch it!" he said standing up and brushing his orange outfit. "Now are you going to say 'who's there' huh?" chuckled the large haired boy. Yoh blinked. "Oh my god! Yoh!"
"Huh?"
"It's me! Chocolove! Hey I don't believe this! I just went to your house but you weren't there. I am on my way back, where are you going?" smiled Chocolove.
"Uh…the Patch Village."
"Really? Why?"
"Cause Hao is back."
"No! He's not! Really?"
"Yeah."
"Well I better come as well."
"You don't have to!" said Yoh dreading his presence.
"Really I want to! So? Where you sat?" smiled Chocolove. Yoh sighed.
"Over here." He said walking back to his seat. Chocolove followed. "Hey guys guess who is here." Said Yoh sitting down as Anna stood up.
"Hey everyone! I was on my way back from visiting you guys. And wow here you are!" smiled Chocolove.
"What did you come to visit us for?" asked Anna.
"Well, you're not going to believe this but, I came to invite you all to my show!" proudly exclaimed Chocolove.
"What kind of show? A circus?" muttered Ren.
"No! My stand up comedy act!" he spat still smiling. "But this is more important Hao being back and everything. I will cancel my act and come and help you guys!"
"No dude! That is what you have wanted all your life!" gasped HoroHoro.
"Yeah I know but my friends are more important!" replied Chocolove.
"Hear that? Friends are more important."
"Shut up!" yelled Yoh.
"Who? Me?" said Chocolove taken back.
"No! No! I'm just not feeling right." Said Yoh.
"Yeah Master Yoh hasn't been feeling himself lately." Mentioned Ryu.
"Is that true Yoh?" asked Chocolove.
"Yeah." Sighed Yoh. "It is."
