"Why orange?" the itako asked. Neither knew exactly how this conversation started, but it continued, that's for sure. Anna just casually walked up to him and asked why he always wore those orange headphone. Being the laid-back guy his is he answered a simple reply, just saying he liked the color orange was it. So now this arguement erupted and Anna would never back down.
"I like the color orange," he repeated.
"But why not red or something?" she argued.
"'Cause red is your thing, and I like orange more," he replied. He was partly greatful that she decided to stop and talk to him during his morning jog. He didn't mind having this arguement if it meant delaying his 40 laps around their house.
"Well, you have to have a reason for liking orange, so why?" Anna questioned pushing further and further into the matter.
Yoh thought about this and when no idea came he responded stupidly, "'Cause oranges are orange and I love oranges!"
Anna sigh, however, she wasn't giving in, "Then why headphones?" who knows why he had the sudden interest in his 'acsesories' but she would as hell find out what she wanted.
"I love music, it's the best thing in the world," he stated, "Other than oranges," he added quickly.
She gave up on the whole concept, and that means a lot for Anna. "I'm gonna go buy some food, because someone ate all of it," she glared at a side of the large house, possibly where wooden Ryu was with his 'followers' or friends. She look back to Yoh, her gaze burning him like if he sat on a stove when it was on, "I expect to see you running when I get back," she hissed.
The soon-to-be Shaman King stared at her as the itako strolled toward the main entrance of the Funbari Inn. He mumbled a soft 'oh man' as he began his jog, he would have to keep running until she came back. As he circled the building, finishing his first lap, he watched as Anna walked down the bumpy street towards the food market. He sighed heavily as he ran and ran, exhausting himself.
Anna finally arrived home with a few paper bags on each of her arms, "Yoh come help me," she ordered opening the sliding doors. He ran up to her, grabbed most of the bags, and ran inside placing them on the counter. She entered the kitchen not long after and put the remaining bags next to the others.
She emtpied each bag carefully, with the exception of one. It was the smallet bag and looked as though it had only one thing in it. She pushed the bag to him and started putting away the new items. He stared dumbly at the thin bag, he raised one brown eyebrow and proceded to inspect it.
Anna normally never put away the groceries, she never even went shopping for them. But getting him something, if his guess was right, was something she wouldn't do in her entire liftime, unless it was a holiday or birthday. He thought about what today could be, it was November 11th and the last time he checked this date meant nothing. But he never really checked so he thought long and hard.
The blond shaman was now putting away the cans as he asked confused, "What's this?"
"Just take it out from the bag," she commanded sternly. He hesitantly lowered his hand into the bag, she saw this, "It won't bite."
He relax a little bit then felt something brush against his knuckles, he grabbed a hold of it and lifted it out. An orange CD player was what he held in his hands. He stared at it shocked, "A CD player?" he said to himself more than her.
"I saw it when I was shopping," Anna answered dully.
"But the food market only sells food," the brunette explained.
"Okay, okay, fine. I saw it on my way there," she replied truthfully.
"Wasn't it expensive?" Yoh questioned, his brown eyes were wide looking at the gift surprised.
"It was on sale, so it was pretty cheap," she moved onto the bread and crackers, "Think of it as a late birthday present."
"But you got me something for my birthday," he agrued.
"Then, think of it as a gift for defeating Ren in the preliminaries." (A/N: It's around that time, so you know!)
"We all celebrated that already."
She grunted angrily and glared at him, "Fine, then it's an early Christmas present!" she said venom dripping from every word.
He cowered away and took the present with him, "A-Arigatou g-gozaimasu," he stuttered with his teeth chattering. He ran out of the room, up the flight of stairs, and into his own, private room.
He shut the door inhaling and exhaling deeply. He sat on his bed and plugged the headphones in the CD player, opening the top of it he picked up his favorite CD and popped it in. Yoh closed it and pressed play, he nodded his head with the beat and closed his eyes savoring the music.
Even though you see the orange headphones atop his head and nothing connected to it he will only plug his headphones into the CD player he got from Anna. Nobody he knew, but he listened to his music everyday, whenever he really wanted to. Somehow, he thinks he likes music and the color orange even more, but red's okay too.
