Thanks for the reviews, people! This is chapter two everyone, please look out for the further additions of the love triangle in the following scenes.
CHAPTER 2
Anna looked out the window.
She was in her office, staring out the window, looking at nothing in particular. That boy from the ice-cream stand had a strange overwhelming power over her. Not in an obvious way, of course, but her heart beat faster by the second at the thought of him. It was strange how two brothers could be so alike and yet so different at the same time.
" Anna?" came Hao's coyingly sweet voice at the door.
She glared at the direction of his voice, not knowing whether to just ignore him and pretend she was no in, or to just walk out after he entered. She decided to settle with the first, being the fact that he could fire her whenever he wanted.
" What do you want, Hao?" she snapped, trying to sound like he had interrupted her in the middle of something important. Which he saw through right away, of course.
" Your report on the Baxton file is still not in." he said, and would have sound very much like the boss he was, if not for the cocky smile, and the definite lean of his standing position. " I would very much like to know when it would be possible for you to hand it to me."
" I'll get right down to it, sir." She added with an obvious press of sarcasm.
His eyebrows raised amusingly at her before walking over to her, and she hurriedly avoided eye contact, looking down at the paperwork below her. " So, Anna. . ." Hao started slowly, glancing at her, but she refused to even act like she had heard him. Used to her behavior, his hand caught her left in his, and he grinned as she felt her clench to his touch. " Are you doing anything tonight?" he asked.
" Yes." She said, and continued with whatever she was doing.
Getting slightly annoyed now, his hand left hers, before resting on her chin. The frosty act disappearing immediately, her hand whipped out to slap his hand away, glaring upwards at him. Triumphant with the ability to change her behavior, his hands drew themselves into his pockets. " Come to dinner with me tonight." He said, being an order now.
" And if I disagree?" she said coldly.
One hand whipped out and caught hers, and he lifted her to her feet, before slamming her backwards into the wall behind her. She winced in pain, but managed to keep that glare on her face. He smirked at her and his lips traveled down to her neck, kissing her soft skin gently. She seemed to freeze for a moment before she came to her senses, using her free hand to push him away, her hand whipping across his face soon afterwards.
Once again, he was used to that.
He pinned both her hands against the wall, the area between the two of them undeniably close now. He moved his head closer to hers, the smirk off his face now, which was now replaced with a shrewd, bitter look. " You're mine." He hissed aloud. " You belong to me."
" And who agreed to that?" he spat.
His grip on her tightened, and she winced in pain. " I don't care what you think or say." He said. " You're mine, and that fact's not going to change."
She bit her lower lip. It was bad enough when he was happy, let alone angry. There was something that crossed in his eyes when he got angry, and even the coldest part of her felt scared at the sight of that. And he knew her fear. He knew what she was afraid of.
" Kiss me." He said shrewdly.
" Over my dead body." She said tightly.
He smirked, and his lips pressed against hers. She clamped her lips firmly shut, but something inside her lost itself, the desire for his touch strengthening. His lips left hers for the shortest of a second, and her eyes opened dimly. He was smiling again.
" You're so tense. . ." he said softly. " Relax a little."
Something inside her broke, and her lips opened slightly. He took the moment to kiss her fully, his tongue entering her mouth, enjoying the sound of her moaning in desire.
Desire, that's right.
Desire for him.
Him only.
He kissed her forcefully. . .passionately. . .painfully, hearing her gasp into his mouth by the pressure, before he left her, his hands pulling themselves away from her hands. She glared at him, embarrassed by his destroying of her pride. She slapped him fully on the cheek, and he stepped back, smirking. " That was well worth the kiss." He said.
She looked away, biting her lip.
She hated him.
She hated his kisses.
Yet, why was it that she enjoyed them so much?
" I'll see you tonight." He said, leaving the room quietly.
She just stood there, her back facing him for a long moment, before pounding her fist against the wall next to her.
Hard.
Painfully hard.

" No, I'm not Hao Asakura." Hao said cheerfully at the three chatty schoolgirls who had approached his small ice-cream stand. " But I happen to be his brother. . .if that's counted as an honour in any case."
" His brother?" one of the girls asked, raising her eyebrows. " He never claimed to have a brother."
Yoh would have rolled his eyes, if he was not such a polite individual. He shrugged at them. They were merely one of the many people who had mistaken him for his much more well-known and popular brother of his. This scene had been played for the many months. . .maybe even years to past, and every day, there would be at least one person who mistook him for Hao.
" So let me get this straight. . ." another girl said, apparently struggling with the concept. " You're. . .not. . .Hao Asakura?"
" Correct." He said cheerfully.
They looked appalled and walked away, catching some second glances at him before disappearing out of sight. He sighed and leaned against the wall, nodding gratefully at the two young kids who had approached him to buy ice-cream. They paid and ran off, giggling happily. He smiled fondly at them before taking a small chocolate ice-cream for himself.
He looked at it reminiscently.
" I gave one of these to her yesterday." He said to himself, removing the wrapper off it, before biting into it.
He looked up at the sky above him.
" I wonder what she's doing now?" he whispered to himself.
