Chapter 3
Weeks has passed since Anna's encounter with Hao, and something was wrong, very wrong. Voices was heard in her mind when people were not talking, she couldn't stop it or even stop hearing it.. Like it had a mind- no hundreds of minds on its own. It felt so familiar to Anna, it was… but she couldn't put her finger on it. It was.. It was.. Oh no… Reishi.
Anna locked herself in her room.
Why? All this time she controlled and blocked her reishi, but now she couldn't. Did that make sense? Thoughts and secrets that were not her own flooded in her head non-stop, giving her a bigger headache.
It wasn't only in her head, it was also outside too. She could hear Ren, and Horohoro fighting, Yoh trying to stop them, while Chocolove was telling his idiotic jokes to- whoever was listening to him. She wanted to slap all of them for being so loud and rude, but it wasn't their fault. She couldn't blame them because of her reishi. They had nothing to do with it, so she resisted the urge of killing them one by one.
It was after a couple of days where she couldn't even tell if a person was talking, or thinking. She opened her door going straight to the living room where Yoh and the others are. "Get out, GET OUT! ALL OF YOU ARE SUCH A PAIN", she screamed, "YOH!"
"Y-YES ANNA?!"
"I WANT YOU TO DO 20 LAPS AROUND THE ISLAND, 1000 SITUPS, PUSHUPS, AND 5 HOURS OF WALL LIFTS."
"E-EH?!"
"THE REST OF YOU CAN JOIN HIM, OR CLEAN THIS HOUSE UNTIL IT SHINES!", Anna shouted going back to her room slamming the door shut.
"What's wrong with her today?", Horohoro complained getting a mop ready.
Ryu, who was washing the dishes stated, "Anna-sama did look quite pale today."
"Maybe she's finally turning into an ice witch," the Ainu scoffed."Right, Yoh? EH?!" Horohoro looked to see that his friend was walking up stairs.
Faust snickered, "Yoh-kun is going to be a great husband,"
…
"Anna?", Yoh called knocking on her door.
"What do you want? You're supposed to do your training."
"Ah… Can I come in?"
"... No.", Anna replied coldly, sniffling. Wait, what?! Anna sniffing?!
"I'm coming in."
Yoh look at Anna, tears were dripping down her cheeks. "Anna, what's wrong? Do you feel well?", he asked sitting in front of Anna.
"My reishi… I can't control it anymore.."
"What, why? What happened?"
"I don't know.. It.. it started about a few weeks ago..", Anna answered wiping her tears away.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I- I could've of helped you, Anna!"
It slightly bothered Yoh to know that Anna did not depend on him.
"No. You need to stick to your training, you're still not strong enough to defeat Hao. You should not get distracted by a simple problem like this."
"But I am strong Anna. Strong enough to protect you."
Anna touched his forehead with hers. "But not enough to become Shaman King. Go do your training before I add more to it."
Her fiance sighed in defeat slightly blushing, "Alright Anna. But please, if anything troubles you, it's ok to depend on me. I promised I would help you, right?"
She smiled, "Yes."
