Next evening, Jeanne came to Anna's place. They'd decided to talk about something that Jeanne said was very important. Anna's curiosity was great about what could be so important, so, before meeting with Pirika and Tamao, they decided to have a private conversation.

Two girls entered Anna's room and the blonde closed door and locked them behind. Jeanne sat on the bed and Anna took a chair and mounted it.

"So" Anna started "what did you want to talk about with me?" Jeanne inhaled deeply.

"I've been having these dreams lately. Most of them were about you" the white-haired girl lowered eyes "oh, Anna, this is gonna sound stupid, but…the great danger is ahead of you" Anna arched an eyebrow.

"Why this would sound stupid. Actually, it sounds quite serious" Jeanne just shook her head.

"You see…the things I saw were that…you're life is at stake. You'll have to choose two things: love or power" Anna frowned her forehead. Now that sounded really crazy to her. Love? No way. Power? Oh yeah. But then…what kind of love?

"How's that possible?" Jeanne shrugged shoulders.

"I don't know. You'll just do. I also saw a great risk with that. It may even cost your life, Anna" Jeanne looked scared and concerned. Anna only turned her head to the wall. She thought for a while.

"You know what? I think that love is something impossible for me. Not that I wouldn't be able to love, but…it's just too complicated for me…I don't know how to tell you this…" Jeanne nodded.

"I understand. And I think I know why. Anna, you wouldn't let anyone near you, that's the problem. You keep everything to yourself and if there's too much, you go and take it over some guy who even doesn't have a clue for what he's killed. And that's not the way to deal with yourself" Anna rolled eyes.

"But I'm talking with you now, am I not?" Jeanne sighed.

"You do, but I cannot tell anything about you. I don't know you, Anna. And that's not the way friendship goes" Jeanne spoke out everything she held for Anna. That wasn't some kind of blaming or complaining, but only the way to teach Anna how to deal with herself. Oh how right she was then…Jeanne would always see the things about people, which the people themselves weren't able to see. I respected her for that, but at that moment I didn't want to listen to her. The truth was just too right for me to cope with. Anna sighed in a pissed of way.

"What do you want me to do then, huh? Change an entire myself? That's kinda unreal, you know" Jeanne stood up and walked to the window.

"I'm not asking you to rip off your soul. Just to let in someone. Not me, but…someone. You're gonna need that" Anna too stood. Now that was something interesting.

"Why do you say this?" Jeanne stared for some time to the dawning world behind the glass.

"This is something serious Anna. And to make it worse, I do think this is about that guy…Hao Asakura. He's dangerous Anna" the blonde blinked to Jeanne's back until she woke up from the shock. Ok, she knew that guy could be dangerous, but that dangerous to her…? Otherwise, Jeanne's fortunes would always come true… Anna walked and stopped at the side of white-haired shaman.

"Is he that dangerous?" Jeanne nodded.

"More than you can think of" Anna closed her eyes and slowly opened them again.

"Then, I'll be waiting for our trip to Tokyo more than ever" Jeanne looked to Anna with horror.

"I was speaking serious Anna" the blonde shrugged shoulders.

"So was I. I'm not about to sit and sink in fear. I like the thrill, you know that. And meeting with this Asakura guy will guarantee that" Jeanne sighed. She hated it when Anna would be so reckless and light-minded, but then again…didn't these features of her character made her who she was?

"Fine, think what you want, Anna, but I just warn you not to mess with him" Anna nodded.

"I'll be careful. Oh and by the way" Anna sighed "not a word to Tam and Piri. I don't wanna make them worry" Jeanne nodded.

"No problem" both girls stood by the window and just looked through it, not saying a word. The sun went down and first stars began to appear in the sky. But neither wanted to go anywhere tonight, there was said too much tonight.

"I'll call Tamao and Piri" Anna said.

"Sure" Jeanne felt the same way. Both decided without words to stay in tonight…

Five and half weeks passed from that day…

At the Kyouyma family residence, the atmosphere of leaving was clearly sensible. Anna already packed her things and said good bye to most of her friends and company. Before leaving, she'd just sit in her room, reading or chatting online. A very unusual to Anna to act this way, especially when she's known as a hyperactive person.

At one evening like these, a phone in her room rang. In Anna's house, she had her own number, so no one actually heard that she had a call.

"Yes" she answered in a little too harsh voice.

"My my, we're not in a very good mood, aren't we?" an unknowing voice said at the other side of the line. Anna, who was sitting her back, leaned against bed's head, immediately kneeled on bed. The voice was of a guy, who she didn't know…or maybe didn't recognize. Anna didn't know what to think.

"Who the hell are you, moron?" she asked. Anna hated these antonymic calls and letters. An extremely bad choice in pissing her off.

"My name isn't important. What is important, that I wanted to give you early greetings for coming to Tokyo. Not every day you'll have someone like you visit our city" Anna arched an eyebrow and scoffed to the phone.

"And who's we? You and your little gang of pathetic excuses of a shamans? Don't make laugh" the voice on the other line's end only gave a deep silent laugh.

"Oh, you're mean. I like that"

"I'm not a candy to be liked" Anna only replied, still wondering whether this guy would introduce himself or not.

"And you're shrewd as well. Wonderful. From all I heard, you're the only one from a lot to be worth fighting with. Waiting for you Kyouyama" and he hung up. Anna sat in disbelief, listening to the beeping sound of telephone. After about a minute, she put the receiver back to its place.

"What the hell was that all about?" she wondered loud. Another thought came of who the hell gave her number to someone in Tokyo. Oh well, the person can consider himself dead already. Anna made a mental note to find out who was it the as the first thing she'll do in Tokyo. But that guy's voice seemed kinda…sexy and…well…good. The suspense lied ahead of me and this phone call just made it even sharper. I didn't know to what kind of world I'll get to. The only thing that I knew, was that I'm gonna survive it. I was a survivor. But I had one weakness: I was very curious. This curiosity could kill me, but I fought it out of myself …But right then I even thought of flying with a day earlier plane to get there as fast as I could…But no…one day wouldn't change a lot…or at least then it didn't…

Anna picked up the phone again and dialed a number of Jeanne. After about five beeps, Jeanne picked up.

"Yeah" she said.

"Jeanne, you're not gonna believe this" Anna started immediately and told everything that she talked with the guy from Tokyo. Jeanne listened in silence and only when Anna finished telling, she talked:

"And no clue of who was he?

"Not a wink. What bullshit was that?" Anna could imagine Jeanne shrugging shoulders on the other side of the line.

"Don't know, but that just proves that you need to be extra careful. Somebody already know that you're coming to Tokyo and that isn't good" Anna sighed.

"Yeah, I noticed it isn't. Jean, I really don't like this at all"

"I know, I too don't, but…we cannot just don't go there, can we?"

"Guess not, but we all gonna need to be careful. And you know what?" Anna gave another sighed "You were right about the danger. I'm sorry I doubted you" Jeanne only smiled to herself at the other end of a line.

"No worries, girl. Just stay calm, ok?"

"Sure. Night, Jeanne"

"Night, Anna" the blonde hung up and fell on bed. The voice of man echoed in her mind: waiting for you Kyouyama.

"Wonderful" she said out loud and rolled on bed, placing head on a pillow. Tomorrow she's about to leave…she needed sleep now…she felt tired of something and that something was this suspense that lied ahead. Usually, Anna wouldn't be afraid of it, but now…it wasn't fear, though. It wanted to feel everything that was there, waiting just beyond horizon…

At night, Hao Asakura stood on hill in Funbari region. He watched the stars, thinking of that wonderfully cool voice of Anna Kyouyama. He didn't know who she was, or how she looked like, but two things he already liked about her: her voice and her attitude. At least there wasn't this sweet and to sickness flirting tone, which already made Hao sick.

"Waiting for you, Kyouyama. Hell yeah I do"…

Little did both know of what this "waiting" will turn out to…
