4. Oh, Anna!

Yoh smiled at Anna as she began to eat. He had never seen her doing anything nice for him and even now, it didn't seem real. Had she drunk too much Pepsi?
Everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere while other people performed on stage.
"Well, I think I should try this too" Tamao said, reaching for the book, but Yoh was faster and grabbed it before the girl did.
"Sorry, Tamao, but I have to give her a proper answer, don't you think?"
"Well…"
"Thanks for understanding. You don't mind singing later, right?"
"All right" she shrugged
"Good"
He turned the pages looking and eventually found the perfect song to express his feelings. Yoh walked up to the stage, getting Hao's attention in the process.
"Oh look, my pathetic brother is going to sing!"
The DJ smiled and grabbed the microphone.
"Let's hear applause for Yoh, doing song number 23!"
As soon as the orchestra was heard, the DJ put small silver lights on him. Yoh began moving a bit on the melody. He was nervous because he was also afraid he'll make her mad and she'll mage him do extra training, or worse…
'Oh Anna, I am but a fool
Darling, I love you though you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you make me cry
But if you leave me I will surely die!'
Anna had raised a brow; if Yoh thought she hurt him so far…'Wait until you see what I have prepared for you next!'
The DJ put more lights on him, red this time, and they started moving like crazy…
'Darling, there will never be another
'Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh, Anna, I'm so in love with you!'
At the table, Anna smiled. Ok, maybe she won't treat him worse…
"Wow, you make him cry? And he has the courage to confess that on stage?!"
Anna turned to face…Hao (of course, he's the bad guy, duh- no offence, Dominique!).
"Hn, and that's supposed to be your most intelligent line?!" she snapped.
Hao turned his back and left.
'I'll make Yoh's training harder' she promised herself.
'Oh Anna… I am but a fool
Darling, I love you… though you treat me cruel
You hurt me… and you make me cry
But if you leave me… I will surely die!'
Darling, there will never be another
'Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh, Anna, I'm so in love with you…oh…oh!'
He ended the song, went down the stage and kissed Anna on the cheek. She smiled at him and spoke with her sweetest voice possible:
"More training from tomorrow, darling…don't worry, I'll make you cry…"
"That's what you got out of it? Come on Anna, I didn't mean it!"
"Right…"
