Being one of the most popular girls in school can cause sometimes troubles. It's not because of her achievements in academic, or her unique natural blonde hair. Anna was popular because she was a very unique person. Her strong silent character demanded respect like no one else is. Never trying to keep company to others unless it was Yoh or Manta.
It was during one of those lunch periods she was noticed by the basketball captain. She was like a challenge for him… Her thin but well proportioned arms, long slender legs, the scowl on her pretty pale face...
She's going to be his by the end of the week.
"Do you really think you have a chance with her?" One of his friends asked him, only to receive a glare as a reply.
"Maybe she doesn't had a chance to talk with a real man so far." He laughed. Puffing his chest like a peacock as she passed by to sit in her place. Not even bothering to acknowledge him.
Today was not her day at all. She overslept which means Yoh had skipped his training, well he'll be punished later. Barely had time for breakfast, and both of them were almost late for class. Perfect way to start the day.
Suddenly a large shadow fell upon her desk, blocking all the warm sunlight. She looked up, her eye twitched in irritation.
"Hey, maybe you'd like to spend the lunch with me?"
"No thanks, I might lose my appetite." She shot back coldly. The boy flushed embarrassed, he was sure the entire class have heard them. Never has a girl denied him. Even more embarrassing him in front of people!
He still stood there, furious at her as a yell got him back to reality. "Get back to your sit right now!" The teacher ordered him and the said boy flushed as he realized the whole class was gaping at him. He sat down quickly.
How dare she! That little bitch is going to pay.

The time went by smoothly. Only a few more hours and they're freed for the weekend. It seemed like the basketball captain decided to let it go this time but he still hadn't gave up on the idea of making Anna his. He just needed to think on a plan.
He was so full of himself and arrogant that Anna preferred to deal with Hao once again than seeing that guy. She would happily sacrifice him to the Spirit of Fire without a second thought. Sure she could handle it on her own, but it didn't meant that Yoh liked him annoying her.
Finally the last class for today; Homeroom.
Most of the time the teacher gave up in the middle and let them leave earlier. A piece of folded paper landed on her desk from no one other than Satou Aiden.
...With a single motion it flew out of the window. Aiden didn't missed the faint snickering laugh from Yoh.
Was she really pushing her luck with him or is it the other way around? He's going to break her strong will even if it's going to be the last thing he'll do alive.
Paying attention to the boring class was more appealing to Anna.
A young blonde haired woman, maybe in her early 30 entered to classroom after their teacher and stood silently, yet her eyes were sad and full of regret. Well needless to say she caught Anna's attention, causing her discomfort. Her facial features were somehow familiar but she couldn't figure it out.
"Starting from the following Monday Miss Violet will start her apprenticeship as a teacher assistant in our class." The teacher sighed. Already has an headache from his students. "You're all released."
"Oi Kyoyama, let me walk you home today." The arrogant voice exclaimed.
"I don't intend to waste any more of my time with a guy who couldn't take a girl's no for an answer." She didn't even bothered to look at him as she organized her stuff.
"Let's go, Yoh." Holding his hand, her fiance could sense her discomfort, he squeezed it lightly never letting go of her hand.
And so they left with Manta, leaving the other one flustered again in front of his friends.
The weekend was over quickly and soon it was Monday again.
Groaning into her pillow, the Itako considered of skipping her classes today. The last thing she wanted today was to deal with Aiden again, nor meet Violet first thing in the morning. Only thinking about them caused her an headache. Like one of those she couldn't control her Reishi.
…Skipping one day wouldn't hurt her grades right? Although in the end Anna still got up to get ready for school.
She would not take over her life ever again.
