♪♪葉をさがして♪♪ Searching for you...
A/N: Hello! This is my first Shaman King Fanfic inspired by Full Moon wo Sagashite. Don't worry the plotline is very different than FMwS. This is written in Anna's POV and shamans don't exist in this fic (sorry). Please enjoy and leave a comment after you're done reading!
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King.
Summary: Yoh is off to America for a foreign studies project for one month and a half. However, tragedy strikes when Yoh's plane went off the airport's radar. The plane was never found and after one month, all the passengers and crew members were presumed to be dead. Anna's not giving up hope though when she saw an American singer on TV that looked exactly like her Yoh.
"Hey Anna?" Yoh asked me timidly while I was watching my favorite soap opera.
"Yeah?" was my quickly reply. I continued to lie on my stomach waiting for Yoh to talk but I was answered by dead silence.
"Yoh?" I sat up and turned to him, "What is it?"
"Well, Anna. I'm leaving for America tomorrow early in the morning so I…uh, was wondering if you want to watch the stars with me tonight….before I leave."
"Yoh, you're only gone for a month and a half," I sighed with a hint of annoyance in my voice, "not forever. You want me to skip my favorite show just for that?"
"I'm sorry," Yoh said with his eyes downcast, "It the first time we've been separated for so long…I just want to…forget it- I'm sorr-"
"No, no, I'm just kidding Yoh," I said as I walked up to insert a blank tape, "a soap can be recorded but I can't stop time from moving right?"
I gave him a small grin and he returned the gesture with a smile as wide as a slice of watermelon.
I lied be side Yoh on our rooftop. To tell you the truth, I've never been up here before. I have to admit, it sure is pretty and it is even better that I can share it with Yoh, my fiancé. Yoh and I are both 16 and we've been together since we were young. I was an orphan wandering aimlessly on the streets until Yoh's grandmother, Kino took me in.
I sat up, "Yoh?"
"Mmhm?"
"I just want to say goodbye to you right now. I don't think I can say it tomorrow."
"Ok, I understand." He said and sat up too. A sudden breeze blew and I shivered. Yoh scooted in closer and pulled me close to him.
"One more thing," he said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I don't want you to watch me leave tomorrow."
"Alright," I said without questioning him. He probably felt the same way as I did.
"Well, goodbye to you too Anna," he whispered and kissed me lightly on the forehead. I usually don't let him do something like that but I'll let him slide this time.
"I love you Anna."
"I love you too."
I couldn't sleep that night. Actually it was already morning, since it was 3:00 A.M. Yoh's plane leaves at 5:00 A.M. Ren and the gang should be here soon to take him to the airport.
I head footsteps and I quickly pretended to be asleep. I heard the screen door slide open and someone, presumably Yoh, was walking towards me.
The footsteps stopped and I felt a kiss on my forehead.
"Goodbye Anna," Yoh whispered.
I heard two honks of a car and felt Yoh's presence leaving me. Once the front door was shut, I quickly threw off my covers and went to the window. Yoh was walking out to the door and Ren and HoroHoro greeted him.
"Where's Anna?" HoroHoro asked, "She's not sending you off?"
"She's sleeping," I heard Yoh reply.
"That Ice Queen…that heartless…," Ren muttered.
"Don't call her that," Yoh cut in, "She said goodbye to me already."
"Whatever you say Yoh," HoroHoro shrugged, "I don't see what you see in her. I don't think she even likes you the way she bosses you around and stuff."
"Come on, get in the limo HoroHoro," Ren said.
Before entering the limo, Yoh turned his head to look up my window. I think he saw me because he smiled and mouthed, "Bye Anna."
After that, I slept for 3 hours and it was now 8:00 A.M. I walked out to the kitchen. I expected breakfast to be waiting for me but I forgot that Yoh had left for America and Tamao wasn't back from visiting her grandparents yet.
I sighed and opened the refrigerator. When I opened it, I found a bowl of noodles and a note saying, 'Good morning Anna, I'll call you when I get to America- Yoh'. I guess that's the last meal that Yoh's going to making me until he returns a month and a half later.
I put the bowl of noodles in the microwave and set the timer to three minutes. I walked over to the TV and turned it on. The news channel came up on the screen. I usually don't watch the news but the 'breaking news' title caught my eye and I decided to watch a little longer.
"We have a tragic news this morning. Flight UA985, departed at 5:00 A.M. from Japan for the United States, has gone off the Airport's radar. The airport controllers don't know whether the plane has crashed or is just suffering from a computer malfunction. We just hope that it is the latter. The plane is carrying 798 passengers on board and 15 crew members. We'll have more information in the next hour. And now…"
I felt my legs turning numb as I fell to the floor. I was shocked. "That's Yoh's plane…" I whispered. I sat there for a long time with the noodles left in the microwave…forgotten.
Not long after, the whole gang rushed to my house. I guess they saw the news too. They came over and had to knock down the front door to get in… I was so weak I couldn't move. They all comforted me and stayed with me the whole time but it didn't help me much. I still felt empty and void. I want Yoh to be with me.
One month has pasted and I am still depressed as ever. I didn't attend school until two weeks ago and my perfect straight A's all slipped down to B's and C's. My teachers are all worried about me but they know that this is something that no one can help. Tamao is back from visiting and we cried together the day she came back.
Just yesterday, the News announced that all passengers on board the plane were presumed dead since not even a body was found. I sobbed my heart out yesterday too and my eyes are still swollen. So much for me being an Ice Queen.
I told myself though, that I won't believe that he is dead until there is proof…a piece of the plane or some bodies of the passengers. Until then, I refuse to believe that he is dead.
I looked out my bedroom window. It was a clear, sunny day today two months after Yoh's disappearance. Birds were chirping in by backyard and I threw out bread crumbs to them. Suddenly my cell phone rang and I looked at the screen. Pirika. I wonder what she wants.
"Hello?" I said tonelessly into my sleek silver razor.
"Oh my goodness, Anna. Turn on the TV RIGHT AWAY."
"Wha…?"
"JUST DO IT! Channel 2" She screamed. It must be something really urgent.
I grabbed the remote and pressed the number 2. Right there on the screen was Yoh. I almost dropped my phone. Almost.
"Yoh…It can't be…why is he on TV singing?" I whispered.
"I don't know Anna. But this boy calls himself Hao. He's a new pop-rock sensation in America. He debuted just last month" Pirika rushed, "do you think it's him?"
"I honestly don't know." I said, eyes still fixed on the screen. I don't know.
Love it Hate it? A comment will be greatly appreciated.
Next Time:
"Pirika, I want to talk to him," I said with determination.
"How are you possibly going to that?" Pirika questioned, "Practically NO ONE can get close too him let alone TALK to him. The only people he talks to are probably other celebrities."
"Okay, I do just that then."
