Chapter 1:
It was a sunny day when Anna woke up.
Anna: *Yawns* Another day, another adventure. I wonder what`s in today.
Anna takes the phone and calls Pirika.
Pirika: Hello, Who`s this?
Anna: Pirika, It`s Anna speaking. Did you finish my clothes for tonight?
Pirika: Oh yeah! I finished it in time. I`m sure you`ll look wonderful tonight
Anna: I wish so (Speaking worriedly)
Pirika: You speak like you`re worried. Is anything wrong?
Anna:Uhmm…nothing. I just felt like something`s going to happen today.
Anna fixes her things and becomes ready for school, while her mother washes the dishes. Anna then says goodbye to her mother and rushes to her schoolbus. On the bus she meets Ren. She trips over him making Anna blush. Their faces almost reach each other but Anna makes the first move and continues to the back.
There she meets Pirika.
Anna: Who`s the newcomer? He looks kind?
Pirika: Oh that`s Ren Tao. He moved to our neighborhood last week. It`s his first day in school.
Anna: *Blushing* Oh is that so?
Pirika: Uhmmm….Don`t be angry but your face looks like a tomato. Are you blushing?
Anna: Of course not. Maybe it`s due to the hot weather.
Pirika: But the bus is airconditioned.
Anna: *Starting to sweat* It`s nothing really!
Pirika: Now you`re sweating. Tell me are you in love?
Anna: Wha…..what! No…no…Absolutely not!
Pirika: Oh well then. Just always check your heart if it`s ready to get hurt again.
Anna suddenly flashbacks to her dark and sad past lovelife where she was ignored by the man she loved.
In the middle of the rain in a dark road stood two persons, a blonde and a brown haired guy.
Anna: I`m sorry ***. I know we can work this out just don`t do this to me. I loved you with all my life.
***: Sorry Anna but I don`t think I love you anymore. She`s the one for me and there`s nothing you can do about it. (Turns back)
Anna: Don`t you dare turn your back on me ***. Do you remember the first time we met you said I was everything for you! And that you`ll never leave me ever! We had a promise ***.
***: (Turns around) I know we had a promise but…*sigh* I`m very sorry Anna. If I could only turn back time I`ll do it to save your heart from being broken. (Runs away)
Anna: No! *** Come back (Runs towards ***)
A car suddenly appears out of nowhere and hits Anna. Anna wakes up being delivered into the emergency room. However *** is there with her but when he notices Anna is awake, he lets go of her hands and turns back and runs away.
From that time Anna promised not to love anymore to avoid the same event from repeating again. Then the whole scene returns inside the schoolbus where Anna is currently in.
Pirika: Anna…..Anna…Hey! girl are you asleep with your eyes peeled?
Anna: Huh? Oh….what is it?
Pirika: Still thinking about it?
Anna`s attitude changes from joyful to "easy to rage".
Anna: Pirika, Are you going to stop bugging me or what!
Pirika: Yup, just as I expected. Don`t worry your head will cool out in time.
Anna: Uhhh….As if love matters.
Pirika: Phew…..that was a close one. It`s good to befriend an "easy to rage" person while they`re on their weakest point, being in love.
The schoolbus stops in front of the school and all the students from the bus rush in the gate. Anna again turns to her joyful side after a few minutes. Inside, the class hasn`t started yet so the 2 decide to meet their friends first.
First they find Lyserg who is currently uses his flirty talk to some bullies while picking their pockets.
Lyserg: So have you experienced the MOST PLEASURABLE HAPPENING IN SOMEBODY`S WHOLE LIFE? If not then you`re a weenie, so tell me have you?
Bully#1: Of course, I did it with my Girl after graduation. She was the most the beautiful girl I saw that night and then blah….blah….blah…blah
Bully#2: My girl`s more beautiful than yours. We did it on our 3-day tour on blah….blah….blah…..blah.
Bully#3: No one`s going to surpass my girl`s beauty. She had a condo for us that night then blah…..blah….blah….blah
Then the bullies slowly turns the whole discussion into a fight on who`s girl is the most beautiful. Their attention turned to the fight instead of bullying Lyserg. Lyserg slowly picks their pockets and run to Anna and Pirika.
Pirika: Nice going girl!
Anna: C`mon let`s go.
The three then meet Horo-Horo having a quarrel with what turns to be Ren.
Ren: You`re a good for nothing Boro-Boro!
Horo-Horo: Oh is that so! Well Sharkhead anything so say for yourself?
Ren: Well Maybe Mr. Emptyhead has something to say for himself even if his brain is empty
Horo-Horo: Are you insulting me?
Ren: So what if I am?
Horo-Horo: Grrr…..Want to get hit?
Ren: Bring it on!
Just as Horo-Horo is about to punch Ren in the face, Pirika appears out of nowhere and pinches him in the ear then drags him away. Ren walks away but looks back at Pirika.
Pirika: Trying to get hospitalized again?
Horo-Horo: He was trying my patience! I could`ve hit him if it weren`t for you!
Pirika: Is that so?...*Grins*
Horo-Horo: Aaahh…Sis is that still you?
Pirika chases Horo-Horo away, while Anna and the other`s watch her chase her brother insanely.
Horo-Horo: Aaaaahhhhh! Pirika stop I promise I`ll never ever do it again!
Pirika: Do you really promise?
Horo-Horo: Yes!...yes! I promise just stop chasing me everybody`s laughing at us.
Pirika: Who wouldn`t laugh at a man being chased by his little sister.
After a few minutes the bell ring stops Pirika and they all go to their corresponding rooms.
Horo-Horo: Phew…..That was a close one.
Suddenlly *Smack*. A book hits Horo-Horo in the head. When he turns back his jaw-drops seeing it was from his sister.
Anna and Pirika enters their room. Anna`s attention is quickly caught by a boy who is sitting next to her. It was Yoh looking down presumably forgot to do his assignments. Then Mr. Fukuji, their professor goes in.
Mr. Fukuji: Ok, class our lesson for today is about blah…..blah…blah…..blah
Yoh: Pssst…Pssst….Pssst….Hey Miss! Miss!
Anna: Huh? Wha…..what?
Yoh: Uhmm…Did you do our assignment yesterday? Can I look at your notebook.
Anna barely looks at him, instead she ignores his request.
Yoh: Hey…..Miss…..I`m talking to you…Please…please….please
Mr. Fukuji: Mr. Asakura! What do you think you`re doing?
Yoh: Uhmmm…..Sir….I….I`m…..searching for answers?
Mr. Fukuji: In my office later!
Yoh`s head turns down again presumably disappointed and embarrassed that everyone is looking at him now. Pirika giggles looking at Yoh but notices Ren looking at her. Ren immediately turns around and blushed when Pirika notices him.
Then the schoolbell rings denoting that it is already RECESS. Everybody rushes out of the room together with Anna, Pirika and Ren. The last person to go out is Yoh still embarrassed.
Anna and Pirika meets out with Lyserg and Horo-Horo. Then Ren approaches the group presumable Pirika.
Ren: Uhmmm…..*gulps*…..I`m new here can I know your name?
Pirika: *Blushes*….Uhmm….My name`s Pirika. I believe your name`s Ren right?
Horo-Horo: Hey…hey…hey..No Sharkhead`s going to know my sister`s name!
Ren: Wha…what!
Ren turns back seemingly disappointed when Horo-Horo showed up. Suddenly *Smack* Horo-Horo gets a smash from his sister again.
Horo-Horo: Ouch! Sis, what`s the matter? You know that Sharkhead?
Pirika: I was going to if you didn`t showed up.
Horo-Horo: Heheheheheh! Now I have a way to get revenge on my Pesty little sister for all the injuries she caused me. Hehehhehehe!
Pirika looks at his brother in a malevolent way of staring. Horo-Horo feels a sudden rush of cold wind in his back probably because of the way his sister looks at him. Anna attention is then caught again by a boy who walks by her. The boy is again, Yoh.
Anna: Hey!
Yoh: Huh?
Anna: You were the boy who got scolded by our teacher right?
Yoh: Uhhh…right..right..yes you`re right.
Anna: Next time don`t push too hard if it doesn`t fit in. If you push really hard It`ll bounce back at you. I`m telling this to you to prevent you from getting in trouble but this doesn`t mean we`re friends or something..
Yoh: Oh ok but…..can I know…
Anna: The name`s Anna.
Yoh is left petrified because it was his first time to know somebody`s name without getting in trouble.
Yoh`s POV
Omg! Did she just said her name to me. She`s like a fallen angel who came down for me. Next time don`t push it too hard Yoh, maybe it`s the key to her heart and besides she gave me a tip, maybe she does really care about me.
Oh I wish she could read my mind and feel my heart. That way she`ll understand my stubborn attitude. I really want to know her better but first I need to befriend her friends to get her attention.
That`ll be hard but who knows she may know me better and faster before I could say "I love you!"
End of Yoh`s POV
At the canteen, Ren appears again but Horo-Horo is still attached to her sister despite his sister staring at him badly. Suddenly Ren gets a bright idea. Then he approaches Horo-Horo.
Ren: Hey Horo-Horo! *Gulp* Uhhmm…..Sorry for the early fight a while ago. You know that sometimes enemies have to help each other for one goal right?
Horo-Horo: Right….So what are you trying to say?
Ren: Uhhmmm….can you introduce me to your sister in return I`ll make sure you`ll get high grades deal?
Horo-Horo: DEAL!
Then the 2 approaches Pirika but Ren is still as timid as a snail to approach Pirika manually. Ren remains relaxed hiding his nervous face but one thing he can`t hide is his blushes around his face.
Pirika: Huh? Oh! Ren you`re here too?
Ren: Uhhmmm…..yeah…yeah! I`m hungry too. Can I sit beside you?
Pirika: Sure! Here take a seat!
Pirika looks at Anna who appears to already know Ren`s motives. Anna winks at Pirika, representing that someone is having a hard time at somebody. Pirika quickly pick-ups the message and knows about Ren`s motives.
Pirika: So Ren why are you here again?
Ren: Huh? Uhmm…..I`m here to eat of course. I`m already hungry.
Pirika: You don`t like you`re hungry
Ren: Pirika…ah….ah…Uhmm…..*Faints*
Ren falls down the chair of too much nervousness. Pirika rushes him to the clinic easily due to his light weight. Ren appears to have a fever, since the nurse is busy Pirika is left to guard Ren despite her refusing.
Ren wakes up with Pirika asleep beside his bed. Ren`s face turns into joy.
Ren`s POV
She`s so beautiful. I wish she reads my mind. I wish she would understand me better. However how am I going to approach my mortal enemy`s sister without being noticed?
It doesn`t matter, I`ll do anything for her. I like her normal attitude. She`s funny, stubborn, cute and friendly. I like her for that. I wish she feels the same too. I can`t hide this forever, I will tell her at the right time.
End of Ren`s POV
It`s already end of classes when Ren and Pirika got out of the clinic. Ren`s face is still reddish and his bod is still hot. His fever hasn`t gone away. Meanwhile Pirika seems puzzled at the bus.
Anna: Pirika…..Pirika…Pirika! Hey are you asleep?
Pirika: Huh wha….? Oh! Sorry Anna I`m just thinking if I`m ready for love.
Anna: Pfft! Why would you think about that?
Pirika: Did you see Ren`s facial expressions and movements. I think he has feelings for me.
Anna: Hhahaahhahahaha! *Giggles* Sorry….sorry…sorry…I didn`t mean to. I mean wow! This is your first time? Never thought of that.
Pirika: Stop it Anna! You`re embarrassing me!
Anna: Ok…ok…ok….chill…relax Sorry…I didn`t mean to Pfft FIRST TIME! Hahahahahhahaha!
Pirika turns away from Anna and looks down on the bus`s window looking at the children playing.
Pirika`s POV
Time`s so fast right? It was like yesterday we were kids playing with weemotes and cellphones. Hiding in our rooms, keeping secrets, teasing our parents and mostly getting to know our friends. Now we`re students, learning to grow up, befriend new people and especially developing special feelings for a person.
I wish I could turn back time or maybe see my future.
End of Pirika`s POV
Suddenly Pirika sees a falling star in the sky. She immediately wishes for it (Author: let`s give privacy to her please!). After that Pirika`s makes a smile. Then again she sees Ren looking at her. Her face turns grumpy and her mood turns bad presumably feeling embarrassed about Ren.
Anna then sees Yoh walking through the street. She asks the bus driver to stop then she says goodbye to Pirika who suspects Anna.
Anna approaches Yoh on the street.
Yoh: Huh?
Anna: Walking alone?
Yoh: Yes….so why are you here?
Anna: It`s already getting dark. Is your home still far?
Yoh: Maybe a bit.
Anna: Then you are welcome to our house. Besides who knows what may happen to you. Since you`re my classmate, I`ll take responsibility of you for now.
Yoh: Eeeehhh…..I beg your pardon but I simply can`…..
Anna: You`re going to wether you like it or not.
Yoh: Oh Ok! But My mom`s going to worry about me.
Anna: Don`t worry I will tell her as soon as we get home.
The 2 walk together through the dusky street until they reach Anna`s house. Anna`s mother is cooking dinner while his Dad is watching T.V.
Mrs. Kyoyama: Oh! I see you brought a friend.
Anna: Yes, Mom meet Yoh my classmate. He`s somewhat shy, mom don`t startle him. He`ll be staying here for the night.
Yoh: Uhmm….eehhh….Hello Mam, nice to meet you. I`m Yoh Asakura.
Mrs. Kyoyama: Is that so? Well you`re welcome to join us tonight at dinner. Oh you 2 look disgusting better take a bath and change clothes.
However there is only one bathroom for the 2 of them. Anna goes to her room and readies her clothes then puts on the bathing towel. Yoh on the other hand is at the next room looking for some towel and clothes.
Yoh`s curiousity leads him to a set of clothes that fits to him however the clothes are at the top of the drawer. Yoh climbs the drawer and reaches for the clothes but just as he reaches the clothes, he slips then falls on the floor. Meanwhile a rushing Anna runs nearby not noticing that Yoh is on the floor, she slips and falls on Yoh. Both of the 2 blush as they are both wearing only towels.
Anna immediately stands and so as Yoh. The 2 seem embarrassed for themselves.
Together: Uhhmm…I`m Sorry!...Sorry Yoh/Anna…..What? Stop copying my words…..What? You`re the one copying me!...Fine if you don`t want to say sorry.
The 2 walks on the opposite direction. Anna is going to her room while Yoh is going to the bathroom. After a few minutes Anna gets out of her room and inspects any signs of Yoh outside. However Yoh doesn`t seem to be anywhere so Anna thought maybe he already finished taking a bath.
Anna opens the bathroom, the lights are on and bathtub is full. However the water in the tub seemed clean enough. She sways her hands on the water to mix the body soap with the water. Suddenly she grabs something long and hard within the water. Bubbles start to appear then Anna let`s go of the thingie she grabbed.
Then someone jumps out of the tub presumably paniced for nearly drowning within the tub. However the person turns out to be Yoh. Yoh stands up but it is too late when he found out that he was naked.
Anna: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yoh: Aaaahhh! Anna Why are you here?
Anna: Why are you still here?
Yoh: I was still taking a bath! Of course!
Anna: So if you were still taking a bath, What did I grabbed a while ago?
Anna looks down between Yoh`s legs and her face turns into a disgusted expression.
Anna: Aaaaahahhhhhhh! I can`t believe this!
Yoh: What! Aaaaahhhh! I don`t believe this is happening.
Mrs. Kyoyama: Is everything alright there Anna?
Anna: Ye….yeah! Yes1 Yes, mom everything`s alright. You, stupid boy next time tell me when you get out of the bathroom understand!
Yoh: Hey! It was you in the first place isn`t it? If it wasn`t for your carelessness this couldn`t have happened.
Anna: Oh! So now it`s my fault, did anybody told you that your face is as thick a sludge bomb?
Yoh: Well I wonder if your face is thicker than mine!
Anna: Don`t you dare say that to me, You`re in no position of saying that! Remember this is my house!
Yoh: Right! So what am I going to do kneel in front of you?
Anna`s expression suddenly turns into an astonished one. Then another flashback happens.
Anna: You said you love her more than me! Now you`re asking me to listen to your imperfect alibis.
***: Please, Anna just listen to me. I know I did a very stupid mistake of leaving you. I accept my faults now Anna. Just please let me back in your heart.
Anna points out a large scar on her shoulder presumably a slice scar.
Anna: You see this, this is what your love brought me. It only brought great pain and cold loneliness. Did you know how long it took for me to feel ok again?
***: So what am I supposed to do Kneel in front of you? I would do anything for you Anna!
Anna turns back and slams the door in front of the poor boy. Suddenly as Anna walks to her room a loud crash is heard from the outside. Anna rushes out only to see the poor boy unconscious on the sidestreet.
She immediately took him gently in her arms as she cries out loud for help.
Anna: I`m sorry *** (Sobs), I`m sorry I didn`t gave you another chance. *** I hope you find your true happiness.
Suddenly ***`s hands lifts up and touches Anna on the cheek. *** gives off a smile that makes Anna cry more.
***: Anna I Just wanted to say that you are the most beautiful thing that happened to me. You`re like raindrops that tills the earth to make it more productive. I`ll always love you Anna, even from the other side.
Anna: I have always loved you ***. There`s not a single day that I didn`t think about you. If this is farewell we`ll still meet when the time comes.
Then both of their hands meet but before ***`s hand could touch Anna`s palm it falls down meaning that the life of *** has flown above and received rest. Anna hugs *** tightly, smiling while her tears race down her face.
Then the whole flashback turns into the present scene. Anna begins to cry and Yoh feels guilty about it.
Yoh tries to comfort Anna when suddenly Anna hugs him back. The lad`s face reddens. Suddenly Anna`s mother comes out of nowhere.
Anna: Aaahhhh! Mom you`re here….:)
Yoh: Oh Mrs. Kyoyama you`re here…..It`s….it`s…..not what you think.
Mrs. Kyoyama: What? What? What am I thinking? I`m just here to call you two that dinner`s ready. Oh and Yoh you could use those clothes over there. Those are my husband teenage clothes. Well now get ready and get down for dinner. Anna, go now your father`s waiting for you.
The 2 immediately gets ready and puts their clothes on. Then they go down for Dinner.
Mr. Kyoyama: So Yoh tell me about your family`s history. Where did your family come from?
Yoh: My mom always told me that I was found on the streets when I was young at an age about 15 or below. I was proud that I am an orphan at least they loved me like a true son. My family`s origin was from Spain. My great..great…great grandfather was born Paris February 1, 1778.
Mr. Kyoyama: Hmmmm….This boy`s interesting. Anna how did you met him?
Anna: Huh? Oh! I met him at class. He`s very stubborn and pathetic but I like him.
Yoh blushed hearing those words while Mrs. Kyoyama giggles about the discussion. After a few minutes of discussion they are all full.
Yoh: Aaaahhh, Now I`m all full.
Mr. Kyoyama: I`m very full that I can barely move my feet.
Mrs. Kyoyama: Hmmm…..Just enough satisfaction.
Anna: Just ok…..I`m full too.
After the tasty dinner all they need now is a good night sleep.
Yoh: Hey! Anna, where am I going to sleep now?
Anna: We`ll you could sleep on the other room there besides It hasn`t been used for nearly 20 years.
Yoh: What? No way!
Mrs. Kyoyama: Now…now you 2. Anna would you let Yoh sleep with you in bed besides this is the first time you brought a friend home.
Anna: Uhhhhh…Ok mom.
Yoh happily jumps on Anna`s bed while Anna hesitates to sleep in her own bed. In the end Anna has no choice but to sleep with Yoh instead of sleeping on the floor. As the light turn off a glow of blue light is the only light that makes Anna and Yoh see each other.
Yoh quickly falls asleep. Anna looks at Yoh`s face. Anna remembers something from that look. A sudden image of a boy with brown long hair emerges from Anna`s mind. Passion takes control of Anna`s emotions and movements as Anna tries to kiss Yoh.
Suddenly Yoh awakes and their lips meet. Yoh closes his eyes and does nothing until Anna realizes that she is kissing Yoh.
Anna: Aaaahhhh! What? What happened?
Yoh: What? Anna why did you…..
Anna: I`m sorry It`s nothing Yoh It`s just an accident (Turns back)
Yoh can`t do nothing but let Anna relax sleep. Yoh lays down on the bed and turns around the opposite side. Yoh lets out a smile probably because of Anna`s kiss.
Meanwhile Anna is still wondering about things. Things that are all about Yoh but in the end she gets tired and goes to sleep. The 2 sleep peacefully as the soft voice of the wind depicts a good and sunny day on the next morning of their lives.
