A Fool's Bet

My story is a bit like… in Norse mythology. I'm not quite sure. But I had the sudden thought of Yoh and Hao as gods. So that's a bit like my plot.
The Game Ends
Yoh exited the comfort room and was now heading to where Anna was seated. When Anna saw him, he was covered with sweat. She was worried so she asked him, "What happened to you, Yoh?" He grinned and waved his hands.
"Uh, n-nothing happened! I was just… startled," Yoh answered. Anna didn't want to ask anymore because she had planned something for them for the rest of the day. "Hey Yoh, since it's getting dark and all… Would you like to watch the sunset with me?"
Yoh was a bit nervous but nodded. Anna smiled once more. Yoh wasn't sure but every time he agreed on her ideas, she somehow smiled. Yoh couldn't understand humans earlier but now he thinks that he does.
Yoh and Anna exited the café shop and were now heading elsewhere. Yoh chuckled as he heard one of Anna's jokes. While Hao looked down from the top of the café's shop and only smirked at his brother's new actions. "Soon, my brother, very soon."
"Hey Yoh, I've decided. Let's watch the sunset atop of my rooftop. Want to go?" Anna asked. Yoh nodded and they walked off to Anna's house. Anna and Yoh kept talking on and on until they passed by a girl with a pink-colored hair.
"Good Afternoon, Tamao!" Anna greeted to the girl. Tamao looked and saw Anna with Yoh. Tamao smiled and replied back, "Hi there, A-Anna. H-How's you're d-day?"
Anna smiled and answered, "It's been great!" Anna felt a touch from her shoulder and remembered Yoh. "Ah! Tamao, this is Yoh." Yoh lent out a hand and Tamao took it with a smile.
"Well, I'll be seeing you two. I need to give these fruits to my mother. Bye Anna, bye Yoh," Tamao waved goodbye and moved on. Yoh smiled at Anna as she had kept waving to Tamao. He was pleased with her smiles and happiness. This made him smile wholly.
Anna stopped waving and looked at Yoh. "Well? Let's get going!" They moved onward and eventually stopped as they had already reached their destination – Anna's house.
Anna opened the door to her house and turned on the lights. They removed their shoes and placed it on a racket. "Yoh, please go upstairs and wait for me at my bedroom!" Anna yelled out as she was in the dining room and he was in the living room. Yoh gulped and asked, "Y-Your r-room?"
Anna shouted back, "Yes! There's a passage that I want to show you which goes from my room to the rooftop!" Yoh sighed in relief and did as ordered. He walked up the stairs and through a hall. He opened every door in the house until he reached Anna's room.
He entered it and closed the door. Her room wasn't like any other girl's room. Some girls paint their rooms pink, some hang posters of those total hot bands or guys and some just pile their stuff dirty. No, this was no room like that.
Her room was painted with a beautiful scheme of vanilla. Her things were in order and there was no sight of leftover pizza. Not that he would think about it. But her room was just so perfect. He sat on a chair and waited for her to come up.
He yawned as he practically waited for what seemed like ten minutes. He looked around to see if there was something in her room that he could read. He saw picture frames and stood up to look at it clearly. He picked one up and saw Anna and a boy hugging. Seemed like they were happy. But somehow, the boy next to her looked like – Hao!
Yoh's eyes shot open and were in anger. A knock came upon the door and came in Anna. Yoh jumped in front of her and made her drop the drinks that she brought. Anna came yelling, "Y-Yoh!"
Yoh didn't listen to her and yelled, "How do you know Hao!" Her eyes shot open and stuttered to him, "D-Do you know H-Hao?" Yoh didn't listen but shouted once more, "Answer me!"
She turned her head, avoiding eye contact. "H-He… W-We… We used to be together. Until a day came he said that he was leaving. I knew that I wasn't 'his permanent', but I always hoped that he'd come back to me. Someday."
Yoh shouted in anger. "You don't know him like I do! He's a player and above all, he's a cheater!" Yoh started to cry and fall to his knees. He wept and wept until Anna placed her hands on his cheeks. "Yoh…"
She kissed him passionately and so intensely. He didn't fight back even though he knew he wanted to. Hao, his own brother, had betrayed this woman. But why? Was it for his own pleasure? But he didn't know why he had kissed her back. Was it love?
"Stay with me, Yoh. I love you," Anna whispered to him. Yoh was a bit happy to what she had just said but was angered he let go of her and stood up. She called for him but he ran out of the house.
He ran and he ran until he reached a park. He stopped and heard a familiar voice, "Well, brother. Have you won our game or have I?" Yoh's eyebrows lowered in anger. He stood firmly and hissed his name.
"Why? Why did you do this to her?" he asked, angered by his presence to him. He smirked and only looked at him. "Why? Have you grown to love her?" Yoh shake his fists and his brows felt like it were about to burst. 'Why did he do this? What was he up to?' he asked himself in anger.
"This was a trick, wasn't it Hao? You fooled me? But tell me... What game were we really playing?" Yoh asked in an angered and patient tone. Hao smirked once again. His brother finally knew the answer. His game. He had finally caught up to Hao's intellectual thought to the game. "You tell me brother. Tell me what you think of the game."
Yoh had an evil grin on his face when he answered, "A God's heart played by a Human's?" Hao frowned and said, "Well you're close... Yes." Yoh frowned and faced him. He noticed that a large amount of energy had come back to him. 'My powers...'
He snapped his fingers and returned to his room in their kingdom. Hao followed him and smirked saying, "So... How was your time at Earth? Was it fun? I enjoyed my time there four years ago... When I also met Anna..." Yoh didn't show his face to him.
"Leave..." Yoh said to him. Hao frowned and did as told. Yoh sighed and cried in tears. "The only game that I have ever liked... But it turned me down to win. I can't believe that this game was... part of his plans." Yoh waved his hand on air and there he saw Anna. She stood up and sat on her bed, depressed.
"I can never go down and show my face to her..."
End of my story
Author's note: Sorry if the story's... Not understandable. My head ached when I wrote this though.
