The words I never found [Chapter One: Different Thoughts]
Author's note: What a gay title, right? XD Alright. I am pretty new to fanfic writing, so don't be too harsh on me! Heh. Anyways, this is going to be nice and short or that's how it is planned (who knows, I'm only on the first chapter!) so yeah, bear with me and my forgetful, ditzy self. Reviews highly appreciated! Positive or Negative, don't matter (and writing a fanfic, your bound to get some negative comments. You can't not!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There she was. Standing there, at the doorway of the abandoned inn she inhabited. Arms crossed, and the usual emotionless expression was planted upon her porcelain face. Why? She was waiting for her fiancée, none other then Yoh Asakura, to return home with the groceries so she can finally cook dinner. After all, it was getting late. She let out a soft exhale, as she lightly shifted uncomfortably. The sun was setting, and it was getting late- and she hadn't even cooked dinner yet! She removed her maroon bandana that had been placed ontop of her head, getting a bit heated as she gripped it tightly; deciding to let her arms fall to her sides. When was he going to get back?! The store isn't that far, after all!
Finally, she saw the skinny but well trained figure turn the corner into the entrance of the inn. She arose from her position, now standing straight instead of leaning. Seeing his usual smile plastered upon his face, she slightly wondered what always triggered it. Her simple appearance? "Sorry, Anna-chan, that I took so long!" She said, still a good distance away from the inn itself. He stopped for a moment to bend over, grab his knees, and pant like a dog for a few minutes; seeing his raven hair fall, she decided to walk towards him. "Next time you're 45 minutes late, I'm not cooking dinner!" She scolded, looking at the exhausted Yoh. "Just give me the bags, I'll save you the pain you exaggerate." He smiled, and handed her a few of the bags. "You know, you really don't have to-" "Oh, hush up." She grabbed the bags and walked ahead, leaving her fiancée to catch his breath.
She walked inside, to the usual messy kitchen she saw every day. Setting the bags upon a table, she sighed softly before looking out the window to see a still approaching Yoh. She simply rolled her eyes. "I guess I don't train him enough! He can't even deal with getting groceries!" She said to herself, washing her hands before touching the newly bought food. Taking out the white rice, she decided to make it simple. Chicken and rice. She searched the bags- no chicken?! Poor Yoh had entered as she discovered the lack of poultry, only to meet a hot-headed Anna. He gulped. "You didn't buy CHICKEN?! How hard is it to think of chicken??" He simply shrugged. "I'm all right with just white rice, you know." She turned, still pissed. "You better be! Because your not getting anything else!" She took a deep sigh to let most of her anger pass, though it would through the cooking anyways.
She grabbed the white containers of rice, and the sweet and sour sauce. Simply putting the sauce aside, the rice would be placed in a pan as she turned the knob. Time passed, as she used this time to lean against the counter watching the sky, sharing the deadly silence with her fiancée. She sighed. Maybe she shouldn't have gone off on him like that. No, he deserved it! It was like a little Anna devil on her shoulder then an angel on the other, sighting over her decision. She sighed once more, deciding to give into the angel. "Yoh.. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that." She said it so fast that there was no sincerity whatsoever, or at least as far as Yoh could tell. He plastered that wide grin once more, looking to Anna. "It's all right, Anna. Make it up to me by serving me dinner." She just rolled her eyes at the second comment, hearing the rice slightly sizzle she turned the knob to off and took the pan off the stove. She shoved the rice onto a flat plate, putting two chop sticks at the side she would place it on the table. "Hurry, we have school tomorrow."
He simply nodded, then dug into the food she served. Enjoying every bite, he paused a moment to watch Anna. God, she looked like a supermodel! He imagined it all slowly and dramatic, as she removed her apron and ran her fingers through her hair to slightly comb. Noticing his stare, she turned to him. Maybe the devil on her shoulder convinced her this time. "What are you staring at?! Eat, already! Rice doesn't stay warm forever! And we need to get up early!" She sighed, placing her apron on her chair she walked off towards her room. He has some nerve!
She sighed, walking into her room. Searching her floor for the white sleeping garments she usually wore, she felt the moonlight upon her face. Turning to the moonlight, she sighed softly. Deciding she should just relax for a few minutes, she decided to open the door to the porch and walk outside. She walked up to the railing's edge, placing her elbows on them, and leaning her head out. Then she heard a door open. Turning to the side of her, it was none other then Yoh. Surprisingly, he didn't have that usual but reassuring smile upon his features. "Shouldn't you be getting to bed, too, Anna?" She cringed lightly. How could he have such concern for her, after how much she yelled and scolded him? How she acted, she was very convincing that the very sight of him makes her shiver. She didn't understand. "Yoh, just go to sleep." Is the only thing she could escape from her lips.
She gave him one glance, then he finally nodded and turned around to walk back to his room. Once he was gone, she decided she might as well go to sleep herself. She turned back to her room, taking one last sigh and opening the door. Shutting it behind herself, she would spot the white robes instantly. Removing her black dress then putting these robes around herself, she would slip into her futon and rest her head against the poor excuse for a pillow. She got into a train of thoughts, rather, then fall asleep. It bothered her, for once, it broke through her thick head that usually shrugged things off.
'You didn't buy CHICKEN?! How hard of it is to think of chicken??' she was disappointed in herself, which was a strikingly rare thing for Anna. 'You better be! Because your not getting anything else!!' She sighed. Why was this all the sudden bothering her? She had scolded him and yelled at him so many times before. But that smile he always had finally got to her. Why?! Why did he stay so positive?! If she yelled the words 'I hate you!!' right in his face in a few minutes the smile would reappear. She hated when things bothered her, that's why she tried as hard as she could to push things that would be minded away from her mind, to save her the pain and sleep loss. Damn it! She shut her eyes, trying to resist the urge to think harder and go deeper in her feelings.
No. Anna? Showing feelings?! Even to herself it never happened! She shoved herself out of the covers, and roughly stepping out of the door of her room she walked to the oh so dark kitchen. She searched for any light thing that could quickly be eaten and gotten over with, when she stopped dead in her tracks as she saw Yoh in the spot she planned to be in. He stopped chugging the milk to look at Anna, not bothering to remove his milk mustache. "Anna?!" He said surprisingly, putting the milk back in the refrigerator. "I wouldn't expect you to be up so late..." She shrugged, though she would usually scold him for whatever reason would come to mind; that long thought she had in her room changed her mind a little, at least for tonight.
"I was thirsty, that's all. You're the one who needs sleep most!" He was struck at her concern. She, Anna, was concerned for his sleeping habits? "You're the one that always has the most trouble waking up in the morning, your so lazy." This changed his face expression. She always knows just what to say, to cover up the fact she just might care. He simply plastered his smile, deciding to care less and walk past her to go back to sleep. "Good night, Anna." She heard the door open and close, as she still stood there. What was that expression on his face? She shook her head. It's Yoh she's racking her brain about! Talk about not Anna at ALL! She walked over to the food- looking at the leftover rice, she took some chopsticks and took a chunk to pop in her mouth. Letting it soften in her mouth and swallow, she would take a few more chopstick-fulls before heading back to her room.
God, this has been a different night. Not because of her scolding and usual yelling- but her sudden care. She shuddered. Hopefully, she thought, she will snap out of this sudden state by tomorrow when school starts.
