A/N: Hi! Well, this is my first attempt of writing a story about my favorite couple, Yoh Asakura and Anna Kyouyama. Well, I am just new at this and you may be bored or may not like the story. But please do read and review so I may know how to improve it. He He. ^___^ Thank you so much!!

Here's a short summary of the story! Well, I am planning to write several chapters. Hope you like it!

Shaman fight finally ended and the gang decided to celebrate the victory of Yoh Asakura as the new Shaman king. However, there is another fight hat should be won: LOVE.

Will Yoh and Anna try to make it last or will they just let it end and let it pass...?

R&R! Thanks! :3

Let's Make This Last

Chapter 1

After

It has finally ended. At last, Yoh… You are now the Shaman King. I am very proud of you. You've been working very hard all this time and now you finally got what you wanted, you finally made your dream come true…..

SLAP!

"What are you doing?!" Anna shouted, "Are you slacking off again?!" she continued to scold him, looking angrier every second. "I know that you are now the Shaman King but it does not necessarily mean that you just have to sit and waste your time with your equally stupid friends!"

Tch. I would never ever tell him that. Why would I? If I tell him that I am proud of him, he would probably idle all the way again, and will not bother to have the training anymore. I, as his future wife, would never allow that to happen. I don't want him to get hurt if a sudden enemy appear.

"But, Anna, the fight has just ended. Can't we just rest and have fun even just for a little while? I am very tired of having the training day and night. Just give this day as a prize for winning the tournament…. Besides I am really hungry and I wanted to eat a meal in---" Yoh was cut off by Tamao saying, "You are hungry, Yoh-dono? Would you like me to prepare a meal for you so---" Tamao's voice gradually faded as she sees Anna's death glare, obviously being given to her.

The nerve of this girl! I am Yoh's Fiancée yet she's here offering to cook a meal for my fiancée?! Tch. I should teach her a lesson from time to time not to meddle with my beloved Yoh and me.

"Really—"Anna retorted "Maybe—hey!" Anna shifted her attention to her escaping betrothed. "Where do you think are you going?!" Tamao, then used this time to go out of the house, and run towards where their other friends are waiting. However, Yoh, did not escape Anna's wrath. "I will repeat myself, and you might as well listen very carefully for I will kill you if you will not do this. Since you are now the proclaimed Shaman King, I will device another set of training for you. It should be harsher than what you have before since you are not a common Shaman anymore." Anna noted as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Okay, okay, I get it, but I'll go with the gang first because I already promised that we will look around the Patch after this strenuous fight. We will probably go look for some beast to tame. Just to have fun. Ha ha. You have not yet started planning the training yet, right?" Yoh asked hopefully, looking at her straight in the eyes forcing her to turn away from his gaze.

"Yes, I haven't. Okay go ahead… But make sure you go back home before the sun sets or those beasts will look more tamed than what is waiting for you here… Did I make myself clear?" ugh. Why am I so powerless when it comes to you? Oh, well. Whatever. "Go now I might change my mind." Yoh grinned sheepishly.

"Yoh!!!! Come on! Hurry up! I want to see the play in the town plaza, Kyoko will be there. I don't want to miss seeing her today!" the blue-haired boy shouted. This boy will be seen together with the other friends of Asakura. A very curious group indeed. Aside from the blue-haired boy, Horo horo, we can also see Tamao, a shy pink-haired girl who secretly admires the shaman king. Beside her is a blue-haired girl, Pilica, well actually, she's Horo horo's sister and just like Anna, she trained her brother during the shaman fight, though more lenient than our itako. Looking really bored was our Chinese native, Ren Tao. He has these golden eyes, which pierce through your very heart when he looks at you.

"I think Miss Anna does not want Master Yoh to go with us," Tamao mumble. She wants him to continue his training now without even eating something. I just hope that he can have the easy life he always wanted. "I even told him I will cook something for him but Miss Anna glared at me. She's really scary…"

The heat is becoming unbearable. They need to get going now or they will probably die under this majestic tree. They haven't eaten anything yet just like our Yoh.

Finally, Yoh went out of the old Inn, looking more amused than ever. "Gomen! He he," he said, with his oh so famous goofy grin, "I really am sorry for the long wait, let's go!" smiling profusely towards his friends. "We will probably be able to catch the show"

"Yoh," Pilica called him, "Aren't you tired of being with that evil fiancée of yours? If you will continue being with her, One year or two, we will absolutely be crying over your corpse because of that training from hell you have to undergo everyday." When she looked at him, she saw him smiling. He did not respond to what she just said albeit he continued to smile brightly.

He slowly opened the door of their, afraid of the noise he'll make and more afraid of the lady sleeping soundly once her sleep is disturbed. They were sharing a room today because they won't need a big place to stay in the patch since they will be leaving tomorrow. She's probably sleeping soundly now. I will definitely be dead tomorrow. It is pitch dark inside the room but he can still discern the silhouette of his bride-to-be. He quietly approached his futon, slowly tiptoeing through the darkness. He stopped in his track as he was about to pass her bed. He glanced at her, eyes showing hesitation. She really sleeps like a baby. Hehe. So beautiful! He walked nearer and gazed at her angelic face for some time saying, "Man, she's really stunning without even trying! Hmmm. Since she's asleep now, I'll just sleep here with her. Hehe." After all I am going to die a very painful death tomorrow; I might as well enjoy this opportunity now, while she's sleeping. Tsk tsk

Yoh lifted the blanket and silently lay down beside his Anna, drawing her closer to him, his face just inches from hers. Waaahhh!!! Very angelic indeed!, smiling to himself. He propped his elbow and watch her sleep.

"Anna…" what would it be like to kiss her? What will she do If I… He lowered his face, his lips just a breath away from her… Just this once…Let me kiss you… Just this night… Ann---

"WHAT TIME IS IT?!" Yoh quickly backed away, surprised by the fact that she is not asleep yet. Not asleep and totally fuming with rage. "A-Anna, y-you're—" but…"I-TOLD-YOU-TO-COME-HOME-BEFORE-THE-SUN-SETS, AM-I-RIGHT?!" whispering through clenched teeth, emphasizing the last three words. "S-Sorry, I-It's becau---"

"No more excuses! The training schedule is on the table. We will---" she did not realize how close Yoh's face was from hers… She did not realize it until suddenly… What the—His lips was on her. At first it's like he's just measuring if she will slap him. She tried to push him away but he is way too strong for her. His hand cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss. What's this? His tongue tasting every bit of her. She felt warm while her heart beats deafeningly. He continued to kiss her passionately, kissing her cheek, nibbling her earlobe, leaving wet trails of kisses down her neck. She almost moaned but she restrained her self. I must not… must not…give…. "Hmmm…." Oh. Crap. Never mind! "Hmmm…"

But then… he stopped. "Anna--," He whispered hoarsely. She slowly opened her eyes, lashes fluttering prettily. "Let's just talk about that training schedule tomorrow, okay?" he pulled her closer to him, Anna enjoying the warmth his body was giving her. Her face was really red by now. She's blushing. So cute… "Why are you blushing? Aren't we allowed to sleep together?" Yoh chuckled good-naturedly. "You are mine after all…" he said as he kissed her again lightly,

Anna closed her eyes and said, "No one owns me."

Yoh hold her in a tight embrace and softly whispered, "Of course not, You are mine… and… mine alone…" before closing his eyes and drifting to a deep slumber.

"Idiot," Anna mumbled smiling sweetly. Of Course I am yours…. was her last thought before drifting back to sleep.

The following day, we can find Yoh starting his new training. The gang was watching him with pity showing in their eyes.

"Why do you have to do that training now? We will be leaving this afternoon so just ask Anna to postpone it. Tell her that you'll start this hell of a training after the celebration," Manta, Yoh's midget friend said. Watching his friend undergo this kind of harsh training really disturbs him.

"It's okay. He he Anna said that I'll just have to finish it today. Besides, I won't be having a training during the celebration," Yoh said, flashing his goofy smile to his friend."Well, this is the last hundredth anyway, w-wont be long before I finish..Ugh…" completing the fifteen hundred push ups Anna made him do.

"Okay, I'll tell them to prepare for the journey back home. I'll handle yours and Anna's things to," Manta then ran towards the house.

Meanwhile, the lady watching the drama wasn't really watching but just staring at the television screen blankly, touching her lips from time to time. Crap. Why does it keep on popping out of nowhere? Ugh. His lips was really…Oh God…why do I keep thinking of it. I should focus on the scene, it is really an interesting episode…Anna kept on blabbering, forcing her mind to wander somewhere else than think of what had transpired last night. Last night… Yoh…

"Anna…are you listening to me?" Yoh asked, "I said I already finished the training scheduled for today. Let's go. They are now waiting for us, we have to hurry or we will have no choice but to camp outside for tonight." He said. When she did not answer, he moved closer and held her hand. Anna looked at him, finally paying attention.

"What happened?" Yoh asked, concerned. "Oh, uhm… nothing…" Anna said, avoiding his eyes and freeing her hand from his grasp. He saw a slight blush on her cheek. "Ah…" Yoh said, comprehending what had gotten into his fiancée. "Hehe Are you recalling our kiss last night?" Yoh whispered, drawing nearer and nearer…

"Of course not!" she snapped, standing up and walking towards the door. He he acting composed again my Anna? Yoh chuckled heartily.

Hmp. This imbecile dares to tease me, huh? "Oh, by the way Yoh," a plan forming in her cunning little mind. "Bring those weights in the cupboard. You have to put them on, so as to continue your training even if we are on a journey." Anna stopped walking, turned around and smiled at him sweetly then continued walking again out in the scorching sun.

Yoh sighed heavily, "Well, I think that is what I have to do to pay for the kiss and for the tease… tsk tsk." Chuckling, staring at her Anna.
