"Yoh! Wake up!"

*SMACK*

It was a regular Monday morning. Painful, deadly and resisting.

Yoh glanced over at the clock making sure not to move his body position. He was extremely comfortable at the moment and once ruined it can never be found again. Slowly he drifted off to sleep again.

"Yoh!"

Reluctantly, Yoh looks up at his enraged fiancée. "Wha iz et?" He mumbled, his words slurring.

"It's 7:30! Have you forgotten that I'm supposed to start school today? And have you also forgotten that you also go to school?" She makes a fist threatening to use it forcefully.

"That's something I wouldn't mind forgetting." He spoke with his eyes closed.

Anna tightens her fist and then releases it. Instead, she pulls Yoh by his ear causing a painful yelp from the young boy.

"Wake up and make me breakfast." She said as she finally received his attention.

"Yes, Anna."

School was probably going to be hard for Yoh today. With Manta away somewhere, Yoh was stuck with virtually no one to talk to. Well.. almost no one.

"Class, please settle down! I have an announcement to make." The class abruptly stopped talking and settled in their seats.

"Class please welcome our new student, Kyoyama Anna." The teacher announced as the male students in the classroom began whispering to each other.

"Wah…. What a cute girl!"

"I wonder if she has a boyfriend…"

"Score!! A new chick! She's pretty hot too!"

Yoh couldn't help but grin at their comments... He didn't disagree with them of course. He knew that

Anna was a pretty girl and he also knew that he was probably the luckiest guy in the world. 

"You can sit beside the dark-haired boy at the back." The teacher pointed, "Asakura-kun, will you please raise your hand?"

Lazily, Yoh raised his hand, immediately feeling the burning envious eyes from his male classmates.

Anna made her way through the class, passing through hentai stares and mischievous looks. As soon as she sat down, a deep sigh escaped her lips. 'This is going to be a long day.'

And she was right.

When the lunch break began, Anna had already turned down more than half of the boys in the class who claimed to have fallen in love with her. Yet still being as stubborn guys they were, they crowded around her desk reciting their speeches of love about her being their long lost soul mate or their destined partner. Ignoring the ruckus that surrounded her, Anna spotted Yoh quietly slipping out of his desk and out of the classroom.

She stood up and followed her fiancée, passing through the guys as if they weren't there. Yoh was staring out the window mentally reliving the memories that he previously experienced in his life.

"..Child of the Devil...huh?" 

The blond haired girl stood silently and watched as the boy she loved slump in depression. 'Yoh.. You're always trying to look on the bright side of the things... even though there isn't one. What's the point of acting that everything is okay.. when you're not even alright yourself… You're really hopeless.'

Hearing the guys pleading more chances from behind her, Anna decides to kill two birds with one stone. Casually, she walks up to Yoh and slips her arm around his. Surprised at her sudden actions Yoh begins to stammer as his cheeks flushed, "A-Anna.. W-w-what are you--"

The guys stood shocked and jealous at Yoh's good fortune. '…. That lucky bastard!'

Anna pulls Yoh closer to her and whispers in his ear, "Just play along for your sake and mine."

Gaping at how close the two were, the guys immediately headed back in the classroom finally giving up.

Even though they left, Anna and Yoh walked through the hallway gathering crowds of stares and various murmurs about the pair.

"Who are they?"

"Who knows but they look cute together!"

Gradually, Anna rested her head on Yoh's shoulder, causing the poor boy to redden some more. He gulped, hoping that he wouldn't do something stupid right now, like tripping over his shoes and whatnot.

Fortunately they got outside without Yoh tripping over himself and Anna releases Yoh from her embrace.

Feeling his cheeks slowly cool down Yoh stuttered, "I don't mean to um.. uh.. er.. But what.. were you doing back there? With the whole.. um.. yeah."

Anna stares at him blankly before answering, "You looked like you could use some cheering up. Besides, the only way to shut those babbling fools up was to subtly show them that I was taken." She finished, giving him a small (VERY small, but noticeable) smile.

The young boy couldn't help but grin at her comment and slowly he held his hand out, hoping to feel her touch again. To his surprise, she took his hand without hesitation and used her free hand to pull him closer towards her body. Yoh released her hand, embracing her with both arms.

Enjoying the moment with one another… they both dared not to let go.
