Hao continued kissing the girl before him, not caring that she wasn't kissing him back. This was the closest he has ever been to her. He pressed his body against her, still holding both of her wrists up. There was a weird aching inside him that was hard to explain. Even though Anna was in his grasp and his mouth tasting every bit of her's, he wanted more of her. Hao slowly brought down his hands along with Anna's and rested them on her bottom. With a quick pull, he pressed Anna even tighter against him.

I'm in trouble now. There's no way I can stop myself after this.

The initial shock and confusion of being overpowered and kissed by guy in front of her finally subsided. Her arms were held down behind her and his grips on wrists were too tight to try to break free. The closeness of their pressed up body made it impossible for her to try to hurt him in a way that would bring him to his knees. Anna's eyes look straight at Hao, his eyes were closed as he continue to kiss her tenderly.

Kiss! That's it!

Without a second thought, Anna bit down as hard as she could. Hao cried out sharply in pain. He instinctively let go of her wrists, jumped back and covered his mouth. He was too busy looking down at his hands, now smeared with blood that he wasn't prepared for what the angry blonde was about to do. He was much bigger and taller than her, but she knew at least one thing she could do that will bring any man down. Anna saw her chance and took it without hesitation. With every ounce of strength she could muster, Anna kneed him in the groin.

Hao gasped in pain and collapsed to the floor. It was the most painful thing he ever physically felt. While on the verge of passing out, he still managed to look up at Anna who stood towering above him. He cracked a weak smile

"Completely worth it," were the words that came out of his mouth before everything fade to black.

Anna continued to stare down at the body lying passed out below her. Her fingers clenched hard into a fist. So hard that her nails nearly cut her hands. She wanted to hurt him some more. Enough to erase the embarrassment she felt at that moment. But what would be the point if he couldn't feel any of the pain.

Does he think I'm his play thing? Like he can do whatever he wants with me? Big mistake you creep!

The blonde slowly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, her glaring eyes still glued to the body.

What should I do with him?

Anna quickly slipped on her favorite black dress and made her way towards the kitchen. She needed to find something to tie him up with before he comes to. The blonde wanted to make sure he understands that he had no right to touch her in that way without her permission. Bet or not, she would rather walk away from everything than to feel powerless in the moment like that again. As she got closer the kitchen, Anna could hear a couple of females conversing. She couldn't be sure but she thought her name was mentioned. Slowly and silently Anna crept to the doorway.

"I think they're both still in her room." One of them said with a giggle.

"Really? Master Hao was being so fussy this morning." The other one chimed in. "He made a mess of the kitchen saying he wanted make his finance her favorite breakfast. He messed up a couple of times, so he kept starting over."

"Are you serious?! That's so cute!" The first one squealed. "You know at first it was weird that he called me over to ask for the master key of the house. I thought he lost his key, but he said he wanted to surprise Lady Anna with breakfast in bed." The two giggled together.

Anna stayed quiet and continued to listen while questions upon questions swirled around her head.

Just what the hell does he want? Why is he doing this to me? I'm so sick of all his games.

"But you know," the second voice started again. "I've always thought it would be Master Yoh who would end up marrying Lady Anna." A hint of sadness appeared in her voice at the end. "They always seemed to close ever since Lady Anna first moved in."

A wave of sadness suddenly flooded Anna's body, leaving her feeling weak. Her thoughts drifted away to the first day she stepped into the house.

"This room will be your bedroom," the smiling brunette boy stopped in front of the door. Anna looked at the white door with a fancy gold colored doorknob and nodded. He opened the door and motioned for her to enter the room. Slowly, she stepped inside, her eyes wandered around the whole room in amazement. The room was huge and elegantly decorated, everything looked like they cost more than a normal person's monthly salary. The king sized bed covered with luxurious looking red bed set sat centered against the dark wood paneled accent wall. Two low but wide modern looking side tables stood on both sides of the bed with designer lamps on top of them. There was even room for small couch with a coffee table on the other side of bed. At the other end of the room was a door to the balcony.

"Do you like it?" The boy's voice startled her. The still stunned girl merely nodded again. She was at a lost for words. Never in her short life would she have imagined being able to sleep in a place like this. He walk to stand beside her. "This room was set to be a guest room, but has barely been used. Of course, since it will be your room now, you can add any personal touches you want."

Anna turned around to look at boy who still wore the same smile. "I…I don't have any personal things." She avoided his eyes out of embarrassment as the words came out of her mouth.

"That's ok," he responded cheerfully. "From now on, I'll make so you get everything you need."

She looked back at him, unsure of what to say. Anna felt overwhelmed with everything. Why is he so nice to her? Why did Kino adopt her? She's just homeless girl in dirty clothes she just met on the street. Sure she helped with the purse snatcher but being treated to a hot meal after was thanks enough. Everything just felt too good to be true.

"I don't deserve this." Anna kept her gaze to the floor.

"What do you mean?" The boy took a step closer to her, but she remained still.

"I'm trash," her body started shaking. "A good for nothing, a nobody." Tears started to freely roll down her face. Those were the words her foster parents repeatedly told her since they adopted her. After a while, she started to believe them. Eventually she started to become closed off, hating everything and everyone, especially herself. "Nobody wants me, nobody care."

A pair of warm arms gently wrapped around the still shaking girl. Her body stiffens at his unexpected touch, but she doesn't move.

"I don't know what you've had to go through before. And I'm not going to ask if you don't want to tell me. But I want you to know that from now on, you have someone that cares about you."

His words echo over and over in her mind.

So much for caring.

She thought bitterly.

At the very least he can probably help me with his idiot brother cause these two doesn't look like they'll be done talking anytime soon.

Anna quickly slipped away as the two girls in the kitchen started talking about some tv show they've been obsessed with. She made her way to Yoh's room, which had been changed to be next to his grandparent's along with Hao instead of next to her's for the past 2 years now. As she approached his door, the blonde slowed down when she noticed his door was slightly opened.

That's weird.

With reasoned caution, Anna opened the door slowly and scoped out the room before entering.

His bed's empty, but it's definitely looked like it was slept on.

Anna looked around his room sensing something was definitely off.

Did he really?

Anna's heart was racing as she ran to his closet to confirm her suspicions. Taking a deep breath, she opened the closet door to find exactly what she had expected. His closet was completely empty.

Wow. I can't believe he really left.
