Anna doe not know what Yoh does…
What would happen if Anna finds out? Could she be in danger?
Disclaimer: Here we go again… I own the amount of text below, it's my original thoughts and story. I, however, do not own the characters in the story; they are characters of Shaman King, which was created by Hiroyuki Takei. There, can I start telling my story now?
Chapter 1.
A blond woman opened the door to her office in the early evening, walked in and slammed a file on her desk.
She walked around the table and sank into her leather chair and sighed.
Extending her hand to flip through the contents of the file mindlessly, not reading a word.
She must be the only one left in the office; the others would have gone home now.
She chuckled to herself; fiddling with her badge pinned on her suit… that round badge with a Libra scale, the symbol of a lawyer.
Kyouyama Anna worked hard for the day she was awarded this badge.
Being one of the top lawyers is not as good as others think.
All the rich people in Tokyo just come to you with the most trivial problems possible.
Mindlessly flipping the file in her hands, she started to visualise that hot bath she could be in when she's home in Funbari Hill.
Anna sipped the coffee she just got from the tea room down the corridor and this time straightened up from her seat and looking at the file properly.
When the first word was read, she puts down the document.
She knew she is done for the day. She needs to go home.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anna's silver Beetle pulled up in front of the house.
The old sign of Minshuku En still hangs on the lamp post just outside of the wall that surrounds the house.
A part of the house was lit, and Yoh's navy blue Lexus sport car parked along the wall.
She entered the house and called out the usual greeting when she was taking off her shoes.
"Tadaima! Yoh? You home?"
Two strong arms held her from behind and a man's hot breath could be felt at her neck.
"Okaeri, koishii…"
"Oh, Yoh, can't this wait? I am tired."
Yoh chuckled,
"Dinner is in the kitchen, and you might like the hot bath before dinner."
"Good, that's precisely what I want." Anna sighed and dropped her briefcase.
"I know what you want…"
"Yoh…"
Yoh hummed as reply while he nibbled at Anna's neck.
"This is the genkan…"
Yoh chuckled,
"Sure."
He swept Anna off her feet and moved her to the bathroom.
"There"
"Thanks Yoh…" Anna said, as their lips met.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anna has a towel on her head, hair wet from the bath she just took and sat down at the table.
"Well, Anna, see how you like my cooking today." Yoh said with his soothing voice.
In front of Anna, lay a couple of nice looking food.
"I'll eat it if it is fit for human consumption." Anna said in her usual mockery tone.
She picked up her chopsticks and started on the food that was closest to her.
Yoh watched as she puts it in her mouth and started chewing.
Finally she swallows, and was amazed how good it tasted.
"Well?" Yoh's soft voice just got softer.
"It's alright." Said Anna.
Yoh displayed his carefree grin on his face again, and didn't speak for a while.
After a few minutes of silence, Anna asked,
"Really Yoh, what DO you do for a job?"
Yoh's lazy smile disappeared from his face, and a serious expression quietly replaced it.
"I told you not to ask."
"Yoh, we've been together for a long time, and been living together for a while now, why can't you just tell me?"
"I can't tell you." Yoh squeezed the words through his teeth.
Inside, he thought 'if you know, I wouldn't want to be with me anymore.'
With his thought, his face saddened.
On a very random chance, he met the angel of his life, and he wasn't ready to lose her over what he does for a living.
He knows he have to tell her one day, but he wasn't ready to tell Anna.
Not now anyway…
Anna looked at Yoh, her eyebrows knitted together.
She silently finished her dinner, and put down the bowl, then left the room without a word.
"Anna."
Anna stopped at the door.
"Sorry…"
Anna sighed and walked out, leaving Yoh alone in the kitchen.
---------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in Tokyo - -
A man with purple single spike hair sat opposite to Yoh.
"Oi, Yoh, what's our new plan?"
"Ren, can't you see that I am not in a good mood? You got to let me have some time."
Another man with blue hair entered the room,
"Yoh, we all know the reason why you came to the head quater at the middle of the night, it has something to do with that lawyer woman you are living with?"
"Ren, Horo Horo… I know if I don't come up with this plan soon, it wouldn't be usable, and we'll blow this months pay!"
"Then why don't you come up with something man, you took long enough!" Ren said in his usual coolness.
"Ren, leave that poor guy alone, he just got kicked out by his lady."
Ren and Horo Horo started sniggering.
"It isn't Anna's problem!"
They both stopped.
Yoh continued,
"It's mine… I couldn't tell her what I do… what my job is…"
"That's easy, Yoh… you are the master mind behind many of the country's biggest crimes!" Horo Horo said.
"I know, you can't tell her, because you are scared that if you do, she would leave you." Ren said.
"Please, Ren, can you stop being like my twin brother and reading my mind!"
"Take it easy, I am here tonight because Pirika wouldn't let me stay in the condo."
"You what? You and Pirika argued again?" Horo Horo yelled at Ren.
Yoh watched his two best friends trying to bite each other's head off…
They are not going to stop soon, nor is Yoh going to stop worrying any time soon. Because he knows that Anna won't treat him the same way…
The night is still long…

Author's words: This is kinda different to other SK fics I have seen out there… :P I know I might have blown my sense of "originality" compared to my other fic… but… this whole story was inspired by a dream I had quite a few nights in a row. So… hope that you enjoyed it… so, please submit a review so I know how I am doing on this one.
