A collection of One-Shots of Yoh and Anna. I'm just gonna set the as Complete since their just one chapter stories.
Inspired by Reincarnation 250, Takes place in between that chapter and 251.
.::Summery: What happened after Yoh came to Anna's rescue at the end of chapter 250? Did he leave with Hao with out even to make sure Anna was alright? Or does he feel guilty for not being there?
It took all of Anna's strength to stay standing. She was exhausted, her Furyoku running low and slowly taking her consciousness with it.
"So this is your limit already?" Hao asked. Anna glared at him with pure hatred. "I want to see your true form Anna."
"Anna doesn't have another form." A familiar voice said. Anna's eyes widened. She didn't sense him coming. How did he get past the flames?
"Anna is…Anna, right?" Yoh said calmly.
Anna looked at him, relief that he was finally there making her even weaker. Yoh looked back at her. Though he was smiling he couldn't help but feel guilt, knowing that she was like this because of him. Because he almost didn't make it in time. "Sorry for being late," he told her. "I'm home."
"Yoh…"
He looked up at Hao, who was watching them.
"So, your back from Hell Yoh?" Hao cancelled his Over Soul and landed on the ground.
"Yup," Yoh grinned. "Do you mind if we talk for a bit? I'll take Anna and the Hana-Gumi back to my place and we can go get something to drink."
"Hmm, I'd rather you just leave Hana-Gumi's spirits here," Hao said. "But I can tell you won't have that, ne?"
"Right."
"Alright then," Hao turned around. "See later Anna." and he disappeared.
Anna glared after him before her knees suddenly gave in. Yoh caught her just before she hit the ground.
"Anna!" 'She must have lost more strength then I thought'
"Your…late," she muttered, closing her eyes.
Yoh sighed and picked her up bridal style, looking at her with sad eyes. It felt like it was his fault that she was in so much danger. He knew that Hao wouldn't harm her but the way she looked at him…she looked broken.
Speaking of broken…he turned to look at the Hana-Gumi spirits.
"Anna was right," he said. "If you stay here, you'll become lost souls. You should come back to our place so when Anna's feeling better, she can let you guys rest in peace."
It took awhile, but he finally convinced them.
Yoh carried Anna back to the others, who were shocked to see her.
"Nee-San!" Redseb yelled.
"Is she ok?" Manta asked Yoh, who nodded.
"Yeah, she's just tired." Yoh told them, setting her into the Golem. "Can you guys take her back to the house for me?"
"Sure but, aren't you coming Yoh?" Manta asked.
"No, I'm going to go have coffee with Hao," Yoh explained.
"What?" Manta and Redseb yelled.
"Yoh are you crazy? Why on earth would you have coffee with that psycho?" Manta exploded.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Yoh smiled reassuring at him.
"But-"
"Just get Anna back, ok?" Manta blinked in confusion, seeing Yoh's gentle gaze rest on Anna's sleeping form. It was different from earlier, when he said she was in danger. Only a few times Manta saw his best friend look serious, and that was one of them. He was clearly worried about Anna.
xXxXxXx
Yoh walked inside quietly, kicking off his sandals. He stretched and yawned, taking his time going back to his room. He just finished talking to Ren, who was not happy about him having coffee with his brother. Yoh couldn't blame him but he wasn't going to regret it. He knew that Hao was a kind and gentle person deep down. After all, people who can see spirits can't be bad people.
"Ah, Yoh-Kun." Yoh blinked, seeing Faust wheeling out of a room that wasn't theirs. He shared a room with him and Ryu while Ren, Chocolove and HoroHoro shared one.
"Hey Faust, why are you still up?" he asked.
"I was just checking on Anna-San. I had to make sure her and the baby were doing okay after today," Faust said quietly.
Yoh frowned, suddenly serious. "How is she?"
"Both are doing just fine," Faust assured him. "She just needs a good nights rest."
"That's good," Yoh glanced at the door, wondering if he should go in or not.
Faust, seeing this, smiled gently. "You can check on her, but not for long, okay? We have a match tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Faust," Yoh smiled sheepishly at him. As Faust started rolling away in his wheel chair he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to get mad at me also for talking to Hao today?"
Faust paused and looked back at the younger shaman. "I don't approve," he said honestly. "But, I'm sure you have your reasons and I respect you decisions no matter what."
A bit taken back, Yoh watched as he left before walking into Anna's room. Usually she shared one with Pirika and Tamao but he guessed she wanted one to herself for the night.
She was laying on her side, her back facing him. He knew she wasn't sleeping yet. He walked over and sat down beside her.
"I'm sorry I was late Anna," he whispered. She didn't respond and he didn't expect her too. "It's my fault that you were almost hurt, and you had to face Hao by yourself. If I was there sooner…if only I finished in Hell quicker…I could've…"
"Baka," Anna rolled over to look at him. "You should stop putting blame on your self." she said.
"But it is my fault." Yoh looked away.
"Yoh." he didn't move. "Yoh." nothing. Sighing, she sat up. "Yoh, look at me." hearing a stern tone in her voice, he finally did. "You were in Hell getting stronger. I took on Hao knowing I wouldn't be able to beat him. I knew that you would be able to get there in time because I have faith in you."
"But I wasn't on time, I-"
Smack!
"Get over it. What counts is that you came," Anna said angrily. When Yoh didn't say anything, just gave her a shocked look holding his cheek she looked away and whispered, "You came…that's all that counts…"
