Yoh's POV:
I was on my last lap around town. My last lap happened to be my hundredth lap, with twenty pounds mounted on each shoulder. And before those laps I had done other exercises as well. I had done five hundred pushups and five hundred sit-ups, each time with one hundred and fifty pounds on my back, and before that I had cooked breakfast. All that and it was only 9:00am so far. I had a full day of training, cooking, and cleaning. And I was doing all this for none other than the ice queen a.k.a. Anna Kyoyama, my fiancée I was going to be Shaman King, and she was going to be my Shaman Queen.
Nonetheless, Anna had really been on my case lately. I mean, I understand that I have to train for the Shaman battle, and the challenges I face everyday, but couldn't she lighten up? Even just a little would be a dream come true to me. I train every day, and while I'm training, she's usually sitting in front of the TV. For the past two months now, Anna had been torturing me mercilessly with brutal trainings. And that's why for the past two months I had been writing in a small notebook I kept under my mattress so Anna wouldn't see it.
I faltered slightly as I kept running and I forced my mind from my notebooks back to the trainings I was doing at the moment, and how tired I am. And I thought the trainings I did before were complicated, those would be like a trip to an ice cream shop now.
Why couldn't Anna show a bit more compassion? She really does fit the definition "Ice Queen". But she's my ice queen, and I'm ashamed I've never told her this, but I love her dearly. She's my world, and I would give my life for her any day. Of coarse she already knows that, but I just want to say it to her. Honestly though, you can't really blame me for not telling her. Not only do I get slapped for showing too much affection towards her ("I love you" is out of the question) but also, there's a time and place for everything. With Anna there's hardly ever that moment where you say I love you. There's been one or two of these rare opportunities in the past, but I couldn't say it in fear of what she'd do to me if I did. Once I just grabbed her hand but she gave me a death glare that caused me to pull back again. Even through a slightly romantic or tender moment, Anna remained ice cold. I'm beginning to wonder if the ice around her heart will ever melt, or if her heart is simply under irreversible permafrost. Since I met her, I've been determined to "melt the ice" but it seems I've made no progress, and it's beginning to seem pointless. The woman I love is an ice queen, and there's not much I can do.
Pondering these thoughts, I hadn't realized I had reached the front door of the Inn. I unstrapped my weights and lifted them off my shoulders, placing them quietly on the ground. I crept into the Inn. I wasn't trying to sneak around my own home, but Anna preferred I didn't make too much noise, and when Anna "prefers" something, it means, you obey, or the Ice Queen herself beats you. I've gotten slapped many times for doing small things she didn't like.
Anna had really been getting on my nerves with her lack of affection lately, but with her treating me like dirt. She probably doesn't love me the way I love her, and I can't change that, but can't she at least pretend to be happy? I've almost never seen her smile, and never heard her laugh. It probably sounds beautiful though, as beautiful as she is. But even though she does irritate me, I love her, and that won't change. I only wish she would be a bit nicer to me, and appreciate what I do for her. Maybe if she did a little of the work herself, she'd appreciate it.
"I'm home," I muttered as I walked into the Inn, exhausted. All I wanted to do was collapse, and just rest for five minutes, but I know Anna wouldn't allow it. If she saw me lazing around, she'd skin me alive.
Suddenly I heard thumping footsteps, and before I knew what happened I was caught in a flying tackle hug (also known as a glomp!). Thanks to Anna's trainings, I managed to keep my balance. If it weren't for them, I would've been knocked over by my surprise, and the impressive force packed behind the glomp I just received. When I finally saw who was hugging me, since I hadn't caught a glimpse of them when they flew towards me, I was shocked to see Anna! My Anna, my ice queen, with her arms locked around me tightly. She had a beautiful smile that graced her features even further. She was beautiful, but this wasn't like Anna.
"Welcome home Yoh!" she cried looking up at me with sparkling eyes. I smiled down at her, but was still confused.
"Anna…uh, are you feeling okay?" I asked, sweat dropping, wondering if maybe she'd hit her head…hard.
"I'm fine Yoh," she said to me. I pressed a hand up against her forehead. She didn't have a fever or anything.
"Okay, if you say so," I said as she pulled away. Anna stopped smiling, and went back to her normal expression, but her eyes didn't hold half the intensity they did when she ordered him to do all that training.
"Yoh, you've worked hard, why don't you take a break while I get lunch ready?" asked Anna kindly.
"Wait, you want me to take a break while you make lunch?" he asked stunned.
"Yeah" she muttered quietly.
I started thinking about what I called "The New Anna". She was sweeter, nicer, more helpful, and amazing. Then I remembered my secret wish; I wished that she'd be nicer, and easier on training. That she wouldn't make me do all the work, and appreciate it more when I do. Maybe wishes do come true. I smiled, relaxed. Somehow think I was going to like the new Anna.
The new Anna had been around for almost a week. I loved her as much as the old Anna, but I missed her. I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss Anna yelling at me, and punishing me, and giving me trainings that make me stronger, and not letting up on me. I miss…I …I miss…I miss my Ice Queen. I mean, the new Anna is great, and I love seeing her beautiful smile so much, but it's not the Anna I know.
"One-hundred-ninety-nine, two-hundred!" Yoh heaved out as paused from his push-ups. Anna sat there timing him. "Anna…I…I'm tired…do I have to keep going?" Yoh panted, complaining the way he usually did.
"No, you've done enough for today," said Anna cheerfully, turning off her stopwatch and walking away with a small smile.
Okay, this was getting way too weird for my taste! Not only was Anna helping out, but she was also allowing me to slack off on my training. Today's complaint about the workout wasn't because I was actually tired. Like I said, something that easy is a trip to an ice cream shop for me. No, I only asked to stop to see if she'd let me, and she did. This wasn't right, she wasn't supposed to give in, she was supposed to get angry, and punish me for asking by packing on more weights. Besides, even though her trainings were brutal, she was only doing it because she wanted me to become strong enough to be the Shaman King.
I approached Anna quietly as she was cooking lunch, which was my job a week ago. "Hey Anna," I said walking up to her. She turned around to face me. She had a small smile on her face like usual now, but I noticed something else. There were dark circles under her eyes. It looked like she hadn't slept in days. How could I have missed that a few minutes ago when I was training? I'd been so focused on her attitude that I hadn't noticed! "Anna, you don't look so good," I commented as I gently pressed my hand up to her forehead, it felt like she had a bit of a fever coming on.
""I'm fine Yoh, don't worry about it," she said quietly, pulling away from my touch.
"No you're not fine! Your getting a fever, and you look like you haven't slept in days!" I cried, grabbing her shoulders. I didn't mean to snap at her like that, but I'm getting really worried. I can't help it, I want to help her but she's not letting me.
She freed her shoulders from my grip and wrapped her arms around me. "Yoh, I'm sorry if I worried you, but really, don't worry about me, I'll be fine okay?" she said reassuringly. I wrapped my arms around her small form.
"All right Anna, I trust you," I said sighing slightly. I held her close because she's my world, and one of the only things that scared me was losing her. I know she wasn't dying or anything, but somehow I felt like this new change was going to tear her away from me, and that was something I couldn't I wasn't ready to let happen.
