Bride of Lazy Sun light
Disclaimer: geez… I hate repeating myself… and I hate the people who messed around and made the publication law seemed necessary in the first place… but since I don't want any body to sue me because I didn't disclaim that I don't own the SK series. SO, here goes… I do not own Shaman King or any of the characters, because they were created, so therefore owned by Hiroyuki Takei. But I do own the amount of text below. Thank you very much Enjoy the show.
Chapter 2.
Anna walked along the street of the Patch Village by herself.
Both Manta and Tamao were overwhelmed by the power of the Great Spirit, and were both knocked out, and resting in the lodge.
She might look like she's taking a casual walk, but she was on high alert.
Even though she knew Hao won't come for her yet. Not so soon after their first encounter… but she can never be too careful.
She knew Hao was interested in her, and might want more than just battle her.
Or try to use her to get to Yoh.
She doesn't know, and that's what scared her the most.
Clearly, Hao is after Yoh, which was made very clear in the very beginning.
She said it once, to Silver, she recalls, "To love is to completely trust and believe in that person."
'You do believe in Yoh… don't you?' She asked her self.
'Of course I do, baka, I don't doubt him one bit.'
She looked aimlessly at the people in the village, searching for the face that she wanted to see the most.
That one which belongs to Asakura Yoh.
And she just might know where to find him…
That idiot always goes to some certain places when he's away from home.
Like, the local gift shops…
She chuckled inside of the memory of them first talking properly, the gift shop at Osorezan.
Yoh was looking at these naked women shaped ear picks thinking that Konchi and ponchi would be happy.
She read his mind wrong, and thought he was thinking about chinko and chinpo being happy.
(Note: in Japanese, if you read konchi and ponchi backwards, they mean male reproductive organ.)
That was one New Years Eve she could not forget.
She had lived hopeless years spending time training with Kino obaa-sama, and unable to overcome her fear, doubt and absolute hate for other people because of her power. That dreadful power to sense the thoughts of others without willing…
He did it. He easily pulled her out of that.
He got close to her and opened her heart to other people.
Asakura Yoh changed her life, completely.
With out him, she would probably still be the Anna Kyouyama she was five years ago.
Alone.
Helpless.
Hopeless…
Walking around the corner, Anna saw Ren, Horohoro and Ryu standing outside this Patch gift shop, with extremely stupid faces (excludes Ren, who looks bored with just about anything in the world, except for a Shaman battle.) looking into the shop at a person, who is presumably Yoh.
Anna felt her heart lift, and almost jumping out of her chest.
None of this was visible on the outside… it was hidden by her usual hard cold demeanour… She was certainly happy… she is going to see Yoh…
---------------------------------------------------------
Yoh once again faces the dilemma of thinking about what kind of gifts to get for various members of his family.
It seemed like a déjà vu to him…
When was the last time he went into a gift shop?
Come to think of it… it should be… five years ago, back in Osorezan…Where he and Anna first met.
Really, what did he think of Anna anyway?
Yoh looked at the shelves and the displays around the shop, and his hand reached his left cheek. The fiery hot slap seemed like yesterday.
Although only a little by other people's eyes… Anna has changed a lot since Yoh met her.
Her eyes aren't emotionless around him anymore.
The care she shows for him was obvious. He knows, but he never mentioned it because he knew she would won't like it and reply with something like…
"Why waste your time thanking me when you can use the time to do more training?"
There's your everyday Anna.
She used to slap her when she was embarrassed.
Like the first time they ever spoken to each other properly, without Anna cursing him to death or threaten to kill him.
That memory flooded back at him.
She was alone. No friends to speak of.
Just like him.
Except she was in deeper mud, she had the power to read minds.
It tortured her every day of her lives back then.
He didn't do much to help. He always thought.
But to try and make her life easier for her.
He was fond of her. Her clam but aggro temper.
Like a walnut, she hides her frail soul inside tough shells – her mean exterior.
He will willingly do anything for her.
Anything but putting his life on the line. He would not want Anna to grief for him. Except if Anna was in danger, he would do anything to save her.
As if that'll happen anyway… she would beat the guy to a pulp first…
There will always be a way.
A familiar female voice spoke coolly beside him, asking the shop keeper how much the skeleton key-ring is.
A voice that supposed to be left in Funbari of Tokyo.
"Anna!"
It's so good to see you…
---------------------------------------------------------
Ails: thank you so much for your comforting review… I was so thrilled to see it. And I must say that I quite agree with you. They are both too strong, and two strong powers tend to clash with each other rather than get along. But the implication of who Anna would end up with is in the title itself. So… read along and enjoy
Notnow: hm, I love that scene too XD the other scene that really made me read back about a thousand times was when Anna kicked Hao in his most sensitive male part… (ouchey…). And my idea of originality is to fill in the blanks that Takei left out. So …there will still be a few scenes from the manga appearing in the future chapters. And thank you for not flaming…
Author's words: When I went back to the manga, I realized that I totally forgot Tamao and Tamurasaki was there as well… ah I want to kick myself I don't know how I forgot about them… Tamao was a passenger… so it's kinda reasonable I forgot her, but how did I forget Tamurasaki! (Who actually flew the chopper…), and that was how Tamao mysteriously appeared in the beginning of this chapter… but anyways… I hope everyone enjoyed my story, and actually endured my endless ranting to read the" thank you note" (right here…) please review… and see you in the next chapter (Which, is already under construction by the time this is up loaded)
