Letter for You

Dear Anna,

Life has been quite eventful. It's really tiring due to most of the trainings that you had scheduled for me. I'm pretty bushed due to the trainings. But thanks to that, I've been a better Shaman King than before. I'm still doing the cooking, imagining you just sitting in front of the television like always though it's different than before. Everyone was usually mad at you but I know why you were willing to give your all and do whatever you can to train me as the Shaman King. Still, it's really different without you around. It's quieter than last time. I know you won't reply this letter. Just so you know, I missed you a lot and I never stopped thinking about you every single day of my life. Take care.

Yours faithfully

Asakura Yoh

"Writing letters again, Yoh?" I turned, smiling at my best friend Manda who had came in with drinks for two. "Yeah… I really miss her, a lot." I replied, grinning broadly after sealing my letter into an envelope.

It had been years since I last saw Anna.

"How many years has it been already since her death?" Manda asked meekly, still worried about my feelings. I could hear it from his tone. "It's alright, Manda. I'm OK with it. It had been at least 2 years since her death…"

Past

"Yoh, it's cold. Make sure Hana's warm. I don't want him to catch a cold." Anna reminded me, putting on a jacket for me. "Aw… Then how about me?" I teased her, trying to get to kiss her as I slowly got close to her. "You're another matter." She replied me coldly.

Anna was unusually caring when it comes to our child, Hana who had turned 1 that year. He was cute and looked a lot like me, just like what Manda had said. His character was totally like mine too.

She was just like usual, calm and quiet but her features always make her looked fierce. This time, she looked like she was thinking about something on the way in the car.

"Anna, what are you thinking about?" I drove as I glanced at her, watching the front as I spoke to her. She didn't reply; her eyes turned to look at the scenery outside. I sighed, knowing it's one of her habit she would never change.

I should have seen the signs before.

I should have.

Present

Thinking about that incident that occurred that day, I was feeling guilty all over again just seeing her die in front of me.

"Yoh?" I jerked, only to know that Manda was tapping me, trying to talk to me. "Sorry. I just spaced out." I smiled in apology, scratching my head as I spoke to him. "OK… Just don't blame yourself anymore. It's not your fault, you know that right?" He asked me, still looking afraid to hurt me. "I know. It's OK, Manda. I'm feeling alright." I lied, grinning to assure him.

"Papa!!!!" Hana yelled from the living room. "Little Hana needs you." Manda chuckled, patting my shoulder. "Always the little cheeky one… Like his own father." I smiled, chuckling as I quickly made my way to find Hana.

"Papa, Papa, look! I did this one for you, Mama and me! Is it pretty?" He asked innocently, waiting for my praise to shower on him as I looked at his picture.

He still remembered Anna's way of dressing.

"It's very pretty, Hana. Just like your Mama." I smiled, ruffling his hair as he grinned from ear to ear. "Thank you Papa!" He hugged me, still smiling as he spoke to me. "When is Mama coming back?" He asked, still hugging as he stared at me innocently. An innocent child, my child…

How was I supposed to tell him about his mother?

'I'm always here, Yoh…' I heard Anna's voice echoing as a cold breeze caressed my cheeks. My heart felt warmer and I finally told him.

"Mama's not around here anymore, Hana." I patted his head, gently stroking his hair as he stared at me with eyes swelling up with tears. "Is Mama not coming back anymore?" Hana asked in disbelief, tears threatening to fall as he stared at me. "No, Hana… But Mama will always be here in our hearts, alright?" I replied, feeling that my tears were about to fall too. 'Yoh, can you see me?' I heard the same voice again.

Was I dreaming?

"Anna?" I looked around, not able to see a single soul in the room. Is her soul here? If it is, why can't I see her?

"Anna? Where are you?" I asked, standing up as I looked around, searching for her. I remembered I tried to summon her with my powers but it was to no avail. "Anna? Answer me!" I panicked, not wanting to lose her. 'Yoh, I'm beside you.' She replied me and I could feel her hand on my shoulder. I slowly turned to the side.

I still didn't see her.

"Anna… I-I can't see you…" I stuttered, worried why I couldn't see her. From young, I could see ghosts without a problem and I would play with them when I was lonely.

But this time, why couldn't I see her?

"Mama?" Hana sobbed, hugging me as he looked at the empty space. Anna was still around.

'It's alright, Yoh. Don't think too much. Your brain had been too stretched out though you need to train more with Amidamaru.' She spoke annoyingly. I felt her presence here but why I can't see her?

'Train more on your sensing ghosts and think again. How did you manage to see ghosts?' I hear her voice asking me, a very soothing yet stern tone in her voice. "I-I don't know…" I scratched my head, thinking when I suddenly got whacked on the head. "OUCH! What was that for?!" I yelled, touching my head and rubbing it as I groaned a little.

'Giving you a good wake up call.' Anna answered sternly. I could feel that her presence was this time closer to me as I rubbed my head in pain. "Mama and Papa fighting?" Hana asked, frowning slightly as he put his finger in his mouth. 'Hana, take your finger out of your mouth. It's dirty.' She replied, her voice sounding light and sooth as she spoke to Hana. 'And we are not fighting.' She added and I saw Hana's hair being ruffled.

Anna was really around.

I rested, lying on the futon as I stared at the ceiling. I had put Hana to bed eventually after spending time with him and Anna. He was happy after all, getting to see his mother after for so long.

After so long, I finally get to hear her voice too.

Anna was unusually silent as I felt her presence followed me into the room before. "Anna, are you there?" I asked, feeling stupid as I felt like I was talking to no one. 'I'm here, idiot.' She mumbled, sounding frustrated. I silently listened to her voice and her movement.

She was not moving from her position, wherever she was.

"Yoh-sama! Anna-sama is back!" Amidamaru exclaimed. Great, I could see him floating in air but I don't see Anna's soul anywhere. "Yes… I know…" I muttered softly, feeling annoyed that I couldn't see Anna's soul still. I could hear slight movements from one small area. I guess that could be Anna.

"Yoh-sama, did you make her angry?" Amidamaru asked, sounding slightly frightened as he floated towards me. "I can't see her, that's what…" I grumbled, scratching my head furiously. "Yoh-dono, I think you can't see her is because… she used to summon ghosts before. I'm not but it could partly be responsible for why you can't see her." He replied meekly, still afraid of his answer would wrong.

I mean, who wouldn't be afraid of Anna after what she had done to my own ghost and my friends?

'I doubt so… You can see me, Amidamaru. Hana can too. It's just… ridiculous that Yoh can't see me… AT ALL.' She emphasized on the two words AT ALL as she spoke to Amidamaru and indirectly trying to make me guilty.

This was seriously stupid.

"Yoh-dono, do you want to try asking your grandfather about this?" Amidamaru suggested as he looked at me, still afraid of Anna, it seems. "I'll try…" I answered, looking at the small area where I thought Anna might be. 'Say it again and I will seriously kill you.' Anna replied, sounding slightly angered. I sighed.

This was going to be harder than I thought.

Will Yoh ever get to see Anna despite what happened in the past? Stay tuned.
