Recap:
"You guys are too noisy." Anna slammed the magazine on the table.
The trio immediately straightened up. "Hai…"
"Right if you are done whining, we have to start our practice." Anna got off the sofa and grabbed her acoustic guitar.
"Now that's the Anna we followed." The trio grinned at each other.

It was a week before the dance. Decorations had all been put up nicely by the various classes. The main talk of the school now was all about the upcoming dance. No, it wasn't just about the dance; it was an opportunity for the single boys and girls to hook up. You must be wondering out of the whole year why this time? There was a legend passed down saying couples would become inseparable from each other and their love would last forever if they danced on that faithful night. Obviously, its all hogwash but the students at Tokyo High don't think so. Only a minority of the couples lasted until marriage, in which these minority were a good enough example for them to prove that this legend was true.
"Hey Manta! Got a date yet?" The chocolate haired boy grinned at his best friend.
"Umm, no." The shorter boy mumbled.
"C'mon cheer up! I'll find you one in no time." Yoh slapped Manta jokingly on the back.
"Thanks, but no thanks, Yoh. I'll be fine alone. How about yourself?"
"Hmm…Well since I dumped Assa, nope."
"How about you guys?" Manta looked at Ren and Horo Horo.
"No luck." Horo Horo said suddenly finding the floor very interesting.
"Ren?"
"U-Um...It's Pirika.." Ren blushed when he said her name.
Ten seconds had passed followed by an outburst by Horo Horo.
"WHAT?! YOU HIT ON MY SISTER?"
"W-What's wrong with that?! Everyone has freedom of choice!" Ren shouted back still bright red.
Suddenly a group of girls came rushing towards them. "YOH-KUN!!"
"I heard you broke up with Assa."
"So that means your available right?" Asked another.
Yoh nodded.
"Kyahhh! Pick me as your date for the dance!" One shouted.
"No! Pick me!" Another girl pushed the first girl away.
"No! Me! Move it shorty!" Manta was caught between Yoh and his fan girls. Yoh was too busy to notice his friend. Manta sighed. This has been happening ever since Anna had left. Speak of the devil, Anna and the trio was approaching. Anna noticed Manta was lost in the sea of girls.
"Hey manju bun, what are you doing?" Anna said as Hikaru pulled Manta out of the crowd.
"Thanks a bunch, Hikaru. I was standing there talking to Yoh and suddenly those girls just rushed over. Don't worry it's a common sight these days, especially if Yoh breaks up with someone." Manta dusted his pants.
"No sweat, buddy. Look's like Yoh's got everything going."
"Oi. Don't say that in front of Anna you dumbass!" Aoi whispered to Hikaru.
"Ahh. Gomen."
"Never mind. Let's go." Anna said walking ahead of the boys.
"A-Anna-san!" Manta called running after her. Yoh noticed Manta talking to Anna while walking to class.
"Excuse me, ladies. I've got class to attend to." Yoh politely excused himself.

"What?" Anna snapped.
"Aren't you going to do anything about Yoh? I mean seeing him surrounded by so many boys." That statement earned Manta Anna's infamous death glare.
"Pst! It's not like Anna doesn't want to do anything. It's because she can't." Shinichi whispered to Manta.
"What are you boys whispering over there? I'm going to leave you behind if you are too slow." Anna said at the top of the staircase.
"Hai…"

2B classroom,
Yoh was flirting with the girls in his class as usual. He stopped when he saw Manta enter the classroom with Anna and the trio.
"Hey, Yuuta. Want to be my date for the dance?" Yoh asked the magenta haired girl.
Yuuta hesitated at first before answering "Yes."
"Great. Thanks. I'll see you after school." Yoh flashed his goofy grin or otherwise known as the killer smile to the Yoh fan club.
Yuuta knew that Anna was Yoh's fiancée but she couldn't hide the fact that she had fallen for Yoh and so she agreed. 'It's only temporary. It won't be any harm.'
Yoh whisked over to Manta's table. "Yo. Sorry about back there. You know the girls were crazy and stuff."
"Ah, its alright. I'm already used to it." Manta said taking out his book to read.
"So, what did you and Anna talk about?"
Manta wanted to say 'About you and that jerk attitude of yours.' But he couldn't. Yoh was his best friend so he said this, "Oh, nothing much. Just some catching up."
"Right." Yoh said not fully buying what Manta had just said but shrugged it off.
Ren and Horo Horo had stopped arguing after Anna came through the door. They didn't have the mood to argue anymore incase Anna might slap both of them.

After school,
"Ne, Anna? I'm not coming home for dinner today, so you have to cook dinner for yourself." Yoh waved holding Yuuta's hand.
"Yea, whatever."
"Um, Yoh-kun? Are you sure its okay?" Yuuta asked. She was afraid of Anna. (Like who isn't?)
"Yea. It's perfectly alright. Come on, let's go." Yoh dragged Yuuta away.
The rest looked at Anna.
"What that idiot does, is none of my business." Anna said walking away.
'Your mind says that but your body says otherwise.' The rest of them thought.
"Guess we can't help with anything, can we?" Horo Horo sighed.
"Well, there is one thing you guys could do…" Shinichi started off.
000
Hmm, I wonder what Shinichi is going to say. The part where Shinichi says that Anna could not do anything was because she lets Yoh have his freedom of choice and if she controls his actions, she might lose Yoh. Here's a mini preview:
"If that's the least we can do, we'll do it. We don't want to see the both of them apart."
"Anna doesn't even give a shit about me!" Yoh balled his fists tightly
"Anna's more moody than usual." Aoi pointed out.
Stay tuned to the next chapter to find out!
