Chapter 5- Find A Way
Yoh frowned as he stared out the window. He sighed for the 253rd time. Anna's eye twitched and she got up, grabbed the Asakura by the collar and shook him.
"WILL YOU STOP SIGHING ALREADY!" She yelled.
"A-Anna!" Yoh yelled. "Sorry, sorry!" Anna released him and walked back to her seat.
"Sighing won't help Yoh." She told him.
"But aren't you worried about them too?" Yoh asked, looking at Anna so gave him an emotionless look.
Just then, Ren walked in.
"How is she Ren?" Yoh asked.
"Oh, she is so happy that her brother is dead." Ren said sarcastically. "What do you think Yoh!" Yoh frowned.
"Sorry… I didn't mean it…" He mumbled.
"Well you can't do anything about it now." Anna said. Ren nodded.
"She is right you know Yoh." He told him. "But knowing that baka Ainu, he will somehow find a way out." Yoh's face brightened up.
"Yah! I forgot! Horo's pretty use to these things." He said, as a small smile appeared on his face.
"But if Tamao is hurt…" Anna cut in. Yoh frowned again.
"It's all my fault!" Yoh said sobbing on Ren.
"KISAMA! Get away from me!" Ren yelled, pushing Yoh away.
"Crying won't help Yoh." Anna told him. "We might as well go out and try to find them." Ren nodded.
"I better stay here with Pirika before she breaks down and suicides." He told her. Anna nodded and got up to get her jacket while Yoh continued sobbing with guilt. Finally, Ren had enough and kicked him out while Anna dragged him out into the snow covered hills.
There was a soft knock on the door but there was no answer. Ren opened the door and looked inside to see Pirika still sobbing by the window.
"Pirika…" He said softly.
"Go away Ren…" Pirika mumbled. She was in no mood to talk right now. Ren sighed and walked into her room, closing the door behind him with a soft click. He looked around at the Pink and blue wallpaper in her room. Everything was pink, blue and black actually; almost everything anyway. He walked over to her, biting his lower lip. He wasn't sure of what to do. He was never in this situation before and even if he was, he would always make Jun or someone else take care of it.
"You ok?" He asked. Pirika said nothing, just kept crying. 'Ok… Not the best approach…' Ren thought to himself. This was a bit too hard to him. Comforting people was not really his gift. 'What do you think idiot?' Ren thought to himself. 'Her brother is out there not even sure if he is dead or not…'
"Ren…" Pirika mumbled through her tear. Ren looked down at her and tensed up. Since when had he wrapped his arms around her! He was about to freak out but seeing Pirika like this, it was best not to... He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"How come?" Pirika asked.
"How come?" Ren asked.
"You never care before…" She looked up at him with watery sky blue eyes. –What color eyes does she have? Pink or blue?- Ren froze, feeling his face heat up. 'Baka! You are not supposed to be like this! A Tao can't love! A Tao is cold hearted and needs no one and wants no one!' This thought stopped when Pirika rested her head on his chest and whimpered.
"I miss Onii-Chan…" She mumbled and sniffed. Ren swallowed and bit his lower lip. He rubbed Pirika's back to try to calm her down.
"I know…" He told her. "But he's going to be ok. He and Tamao will be fine. He's your brother. If he survived all those death attacks from me, he should do fine against a tiny snowball like that. Just think of it as another training exercise you gave him." Pirika let out a small giggle and gave him a tiny smile.
"Thanks Ren…" She mumbled and give him a small kiss on the cheek. "You really know how to cheer people up." Ren froze, not knowing what to do while Pirika rested her head on his chest.
"Oh what have I done?" He mumbled to himself.
"Anna, aren't you worried about Tamao and Horo?" Yoh asked again. Anna sighed.
"If I say yes, will you shut up?" She asked. Yoh shrugged. "Yes." Yoh grinned.
"You see? I knew there was a nice warm part in your heart." He said happily. Anna glared at him but Yoh didn't seem affected by it. He just grinned at her. "Don't worry. I will find a way to brighten you up and melt away all the ice in your heart." Anna contained her blush and bit her lip so that she would not slap him. "After all, I did promise Aniki that I would." Anna froze.
"Hao?" She asked. Yoh nodded.
"He told me to make sure you smile again." He told her and continued walking on. "And I plan to keep my promise." Anna watched him walk off, making sure that he was no where close to seeing her blush.
"So… He does care…" She mumbled. "But it doesn't matter now… He should have cared 3 years ago…"
"You feeling ok Tamao?" Horo asked. Tamao had twisted her leg so it was hard to her to walk.
"K-Kind of…" She told him. Horo examined her leg.
"You must have twisted your ankle…" Horo told her. Tamao looked worried.
"Sorry…" She said quietly. Horo shook his head.
"Nah. It's not your fault." He told her. "You have nothing to do with it." Tamao gave him a small smile and Horo was happy. He turned back to examine her leg.
"Hmm…" He thought for a moment. "I have an idea." Tamao blinked.
"This may hurt a bit though Tam." Horo warned her. Tamao nodded. "Grab onto something if you want but just don't it me with it ok?" Tamao giggled.
"Ok." She said with a small smile. Horo nodded and took her foot gently. He gave it a small tap to make sure it didn't hurt her that much. Tamao didn't seem to react so he went on. He gave it a small twist back. Tamao let out a painful gasp.
"This is going to be quick Tam. I promise." Horo told her and made another twist. Tamao grabbed Horo's arm and dug her nails into it.
'Ow…' Horo thought to himself. Finally, all the pain was gone and Tamao let out a relieved sigh. Horo smiled nervously and rubbed his head.
"Sorry Tam." He told her. "That was the only way I could help you with your twisted leg." Tamao smiled.
"That's ok." She told him. "At least it's healed."
"Well not entirely. But you should be able to walk a little." Horo told her. "Now come on. See if you can stand." Tamao nodded and slowly tried to stand. She held onto Horo's hand as she wobbly stood.
"You ok?" Horo asked with concern. Tamao blushed lightly and nodded.
"I-I'm ok… I think…" She told him. She took a small step and another. At the third step, she jerked and fell. Luckily, Horo held her with strong arms so she wouldn't be able to fall.
"I gotcha." He told her. "Come on. One step at a time now, don't rush it." Tamao nodded.
"Horo…" Horo blinked and look down at her. Tamao's faint blush made her look adorable and Horo took every urge to not kiss her at that exact moment.
"Hmm?" He asked. Tamao smiled at him.
"Thanks."
"Tamao! Horo! Where are you!" Yoh yelled. Anna rolled her eyes and smacked him. "ANNA!" Yoh whined. "What did I do now?"
"Baka, keep yelling and a snow slide will come down at us." Anna told him. Yoh pouted but stopped yelling.
"Ok…" He said and continued looking around. "Do you think they are down there?" He asked, pointing at a cliff. Anna sighed.
"If they were, then they would be dead." She told him. Yoh whimpered and looked at her with watery puppy eyes.
"They can't be dead… Neh Anna?" He asked hopefully.
"Hard to say." Anna mumbled.
"Well I'm going down there." Yoh said with determination.
"What! Yoh are your crazy?" Anna asked. Yoh shook his head.
"No, but Horo and Tamao are my friends and I will do anything to help them." He told her and started walking. Anna sighed.
"Baka…" She mumbled.
"Anna… Didn't you want someone to care about you when you were young?" Yoh asked. Anna stayed silent. "Well, this is the same. Except that Horo and Tamao needs us. Be here for them and they will be here for you Anna."
"Yah right…" Anna mumbled. She tensed up when Yoh took her hand. "Yoh…"
"Hmm?"
"Let go right now." Anna demanded.
"But Anna!" Yoh whined again.
"Why are you even holding my hand?" She asked.
"I'm scared." Yoh said whimpering. Anna rolled her eyes.
"Scared of?" She asked.
"Well not any more but-" Yoh was cut off.
"Scared of WHAT!" Anna asked impatiently. Yoh smiled nervously.
"Hehe, this." He grabbed Anna and jumped off the cliff.
"YOH!" That was the only thing Anna could yell out before blacking out.
"Anna… Anna…" Yoh looked at the fainted girl in his arms and smiled softly. 'She looks so peaceful and cute like that.' He thought to himself. Suddenly, Anna's eyes shot open and Yoh let out a yelp. "Anna! You are ok! Phew! I thought you would never wake up!" Yoh said happily as Anna sat up. "You ok?" Anna rubbed her head.
"Not really…" She told him. "Yoh…"
"Hmm?" Yoh looked at her and at that moment, if anyone was passing by, they would think they were going to kiss. Of course… Think is a powerful word… And so is Anna's slap.
SLAP
"OW! Anna!" Yoh whined as he rubbed his cheek.
"I feel better now." Anna said with a glare. "Just WHAT were you thinking? Jumping DOWN a cliff that would have KILLED me! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Yoh laughed nervously.
"It was fun though." He said. "Let's do it again!" Anna slapped him and again and walked off, muttering something under her breath. Yoh just sat there, still trying to process the 2 slaps into his brain cells before getting up and following after her.
"Where are they…" Ren muttered as he looked out the window.
"Ren what's wrong?" Pirika asked. "And where are Yoh and Anna?"
"Umm… They…" Ren searched his mind for a cover up story… Too slow. Pirika caught on.
"You sent them to look for Onii-Chan!" She yelled.
"Umm.. No-" He was cut off.
"Oh my god Ren! Yoh and Anna don't know a thing about how dangerous it can be out there!" Pirika yelled. "I mean, didn't I say to wait till mom is home!"
"No, you were too busy crying…" Ren sweat dropped. He definitely did not know how to act around Pirika. She can easily get mood swings like Anna.
"Arrr!" Pirika let out a frustrated growl and ran off to get a jacket. "Come on, we have to go find them."
"You can't order me around like that." Ren snapped. Pirika turned to him with an icy look, one that Anna usually makes. Ren sweat dropped.
"Come on Tao." She said as she dragged him outside.
"There are their tracks…" Pirika said, studying the tracks Yoh and Anna left behind.
"So now what?" Ren asked in a bored tone.
"We follow them!" Pirika told him and walked off. Ren sighed and followed. Pirika gasped when she saw the tracks stop by the edge of a cliff. "Oh no! Do you think they fell down?" Ren chuckled. "WHAT IS SO FUNNY TAO!" Pirika yelled, pulling on the Chinese boy's ear. "BECAUSE OF YOU, YOH AND ANNA PROBABLY FELL DOWN THERE AND MIGHT BE HURT BADLY OR DEAD!" Ren's eyes widened as she shouted into his ear.
"CALM DOWN WOMAN!" Ren yelled back and rubbed his ear. Pirika folded her arms and made a face. Ren rolled his eyes. 'How childish of her. And how dare she? Yelling at a Tao like that.' "It might not even be them." He told her.
"They who else would do such a stupid thing?" Pirika asked. Neither took hesitation to answer that.
"Yoh." They both said at the same time.
"Ok then. So it is them." Pirika looked down. "Why would he do anything so stupid?" Ren sighed and rolled his eyes yet again.
"He's Yoh remember?" He told her. "Others come before him. The idiot probably jumped down eagerly and dragged Anna down with him." Again, he chuckled. "Baka…"
"Well we have to go down there are find them. It's not safe to be down there." Pirika told him.
"What!" Ren yelled. "You are crazy woman."
"Crazy enough to love." She said with a wink. This made Ren turn pink.
"W-What do you mean?" He asked. Pirika giggled.
"Whatever. If you are not coming, then you wait back at the house while I look for them." Pirika told him and walked off. She then purposely said this out loud, so that Ren could hear her. "I didn't know the great Tao Ren would be such a pussy." Ren turned red now.
"KISAMA! I am not a pussy and I am not scared!" He yelled and walked off after her.
"Oh come on!" Anna growled as she looked at the dead end.
"Awww, another dead end?" Yoh asked. Anna glared at him.
"THIS is all YOUR fault!" She yelled. Yoh blinked.
"Me?" He asked, pointing to himself. Anna sent him a glare that would cut trees in halves. "Ok, ok, maybe it is." Yoh said laughing nervously. "But don't worry. Everything will work out." Anna sighed.
"Are you still using that same lame motto?" She asked. Yoh blinked with confusion. "That is so old and stupid Yoh. Not everything works out Yoh." 'I should know…'
"You may think that Anna but have a little bit of faith." He told her with a lob sided smile that would make any girl melt… Even in their current location. "Things will work out, you will see." Anna rolled her eyes and walked passed them.
"Whatever…" She mumbled.
"Horo.. Are you sure we are walking theright way?" Tamao asked as she half limped along next to Horo, grasping his sleeve every now and then.
"Nope." Horo said with a laugh. Tamao sweat dropped.
"So… How are we going to get out of here?" She asked.
"I know we have to get to a higher surface first." Horo told her. "And all the forest rodes here lead to the highest ground level."
"Where is that?" Tamao asked.
"The great Tree." Horo told her. "I call it the Spirit Tree."
"Spirit Tree?" Tamao asked. Horo nodded.
"Yah, you'll see Tam." He said smiling. "You are going to love it. It's truly beautiful Tam. Trust me." Tamao smiled and nodded.
"Ok."
"Are we there yet?" Yoh whined.
"Stop complaining or ELSE!" Anna growled with an icy glare. Yoh pouted.
"But I'm tired!" He whined. "And I am hungry! I didn't get to eat an orange today! Horo ate everything!"
"Too bad. Eat the snow." Anna told him. Yoh sighed and walked on after her.
"Anna, what happened after… Umm… You know…" Yoh said nervously. Anna shot him a look.
"None of your business." She snapped.
"Come on Anna. Tell me please!" Yoh begged.
"Nothing ok?" Anna muttered.
"Nuh-uh!" Yoh argued. "You moved back to Ozorezan."
"Yes, that's it." Anna told him.
"What else?" Yoh asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Anna asked.
"Because I am your friend." Yoh replied with a grin. Anna rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"Come on! Did you meet new friends?"
"No."
"Did you ever think of coming back?"
"No."
"Did you miss me?" Anna stopped and turned to Yoh who grinned.
"No." Yoh immediately frowned and started to whimper, his eyes getting huge and watery… Not to mention extremely round. Anna ignored him and walked on.
"Not even a little bit?" He asked, popping up here and there.
"No."
"Not even a tiny bit?" He asked, popping out next to her.
"No." Anna was now getting annoyed. Poor Yoh didn't know, which earned him yet another slap.
"Ow…" He whined. "Anna!"
"Shut up and walk." Anna ordered and walked on. "And another word out of you and you will get it."
"Hai…" Yoh said and ran after her.
"Not even a tiny, tiny bit?"
SLAP
"OW!" Yoh's yell echoed through the whole forest/cannon… Or whatever u want to call it.
"You deserved it." Anna yelled. "I told you to shut up!" Yoh sighed but smiled.
"Don't worry Anna... I'll find a way to melt away all your pain and make you smile and laugh again." He said quietly. "I'll find a way..."
