Will of Fire (cont.)

Panzela looked quizzically at Anthony. "what's wrong?" she asked, washing out her emtpy bowl.

 

Anthony looked back at Panzela, his face expression back to normal. "Nothing," He signed and smiled.

 

Panzela frowned slightly. "Hm..." she shook her head. "Well, what would you like to do now?"

 

Anthony shrugged. "I don't know..." He signed, admittedly.

 

Wizard shoved the book under Kairuto's pillow and then sat on the pillow as if to say 'No book for you!'

"Just leave me alone today," Dai grumbled at Akito.

 

Panzela smiled, "Well, we can hang around here, although to be honest my house isn't that interesting. Or we could go out and walk around the town. Or whatever you'd like."

 

Akito shrugged. "Fine," He said and continued on his walk. He smiled once his back was turned to her. She'll learn to trust me, one day... He thought.

"Oh? He told you not to let me read it?" Becky said and then pretended to be sad. "I see... You guys don't like me, anymore." She made herself look pathetically sad.

Anthony smiled. "I know where we can go!" He signed and started pulling Panzela, by the hand, towards the door.. "Come on, I'll show you!"

 

Panzela laughed and gently pulled her hand from his. "Alright, alright. Hold on one second, I just need my bag." She quickly dropped her sketch book (that she'd fallen asleep on the night before) in her bag and threw it over her shoulder. "Okay, let's go!" she opened the door for him and shut it behind her. "Lead the way."

 

Anthony waited for her and then smiled when she was done. He took her by the hand again and lead her in the direction of the park, grinning.

 

Panzela squeezed his hand cheerfully. "So where are we going?" she asked, interested.

 

"Can't tell you," He signed, happily. "It's a secret." He continued leading her by the hand as they began walking through the park, though that was not his destination.

Akito saw Anthony and Panzela. "Hey, Panzela! Hey, Anthony!" He said and waved, smiling.

 

"Aw, no fair." Panzela fake pouted for a moment and then grinned at him. She heard Akito calling at them. "Hey!" she waved back.

 

Anthony saw Akito and grinned, waving. He went over to him and took him by the hand, as well. "Come on!" He signed and kept headin where he was taking Panzela.

Akito was confused. "Uh... Where are we going?" He asked Panzela.

 

Panzela smiled and shrugged. "I don't know. Apperently it's a secret." she answered as Anthony pulled them along.

OOC: i g2g for now.i'll see you laters

 

Wizard looked down at the pillow. "Kyuu...." He sighed and took the book out from under the pillow. He pushed it to the middle of the bed and looked at Becky as if to say 'you win'.

Dai sat on a bench and rested her head in her palms. "This is your fault."

Megumi laughed. "I'll take the credit if you want me to."

Kairuto walked briskly through the park, trying to get to the museum as fast as possible; he wanted to have time for his other errands. When he saw Dai, his chest constricted and he tightened his grip on his bag. "Rei?"

"Can't help it... get somewhere where no one can see..." Rei murmured.

"Got it."Kairuto hurried into the cover of the few trees of the park, not realizing how close he was to Panzela, Anthony, and Akito. "There's nothing we can do about that?" He asked Rei once he'd taken over.

"For now, no." Rei answered, shaking out his hair and carefully extending his wings. "You've got to get over your feelings for her, according to the book."

 

Becky smiled and picked up the book. "Thanks, Wiz," She said and reached into her pocket. "Brought you a treat," She said and smiled, pulling out a chocolate bar and handing it to Wizard.

Anthony continued heading in the direction he was going, until he spotted Rei nearby. He went over to Rei, still pulling Akito and Panzela with him. He then tapped on Rei's arm and waved, smiling, as if to say "hello".

"A secret, huh?" He said and smiled, glancing down at Anthony suspiciously. He was surprised when they suddenly went up to Rei. Huh...? He thought, though he didn't say anything.

 

Rei cringed. Great. He thought bitterly, but smiled at Anthony. "Hey, kid."

"Rei, are you nuts?" Kairuto asked. "We gotta get away from Akito."

"Relax, I got this." Rei ruffled Anthony's hair, ignoring Kairuto's warning.

Wizard sighed, knowing Kairuto would be mad at him, but gladly gobbled up the chocolate bar without thinking twice about it. "Kyuu!"

 

Anthony grinned. He knew Kairuto wouldn't be able to understand him, and that's why his mom had him start carrying around a small notepad and a pen in his pocket. He wrote on it, quickly, and then showed it to Rei. 'What are you up to?' He asked, curiously.

 

"Can't tell ya," Rei responded smoothly. "It's strictly Ayume family business."

"Why does he want to know?" Kairuto asked.

"He's just a curious kid, partner, calm down." Rei couldn't help but smile.

OOC; gtg my lunch is over. idk if i'll be on after school. i've got rehearsal until six tonight and then i've got homework. so i'll see you later or tomorrow! =)

 

OOC- Aww okay. See ya! :)

'Aww, okay...' He wrote. 'I'll let you keep it to yourself, then.' He grinned, suddenly remembering that he was showing Panzela and Akito somewhere. 'Oh, I've got to go! See ya, Rei!' He said and smiled, waving as he put the notebook away and ran off with Akito and Panzela, again.
