I'll Tell You The TruthHao came inside the living room. He looked at Horo-horo. "You have to pay for your rent in this Inn" Hao said, shoving the bills to Horo-horo. Horo-horo's eyes widened.
"What? But I don't have any money!" he shouted. Hao stared at him. "Well, you're going to sleep outside this night" he said and turned around.
"WAIT! HAO!" he ran towards him. "I don't have any money, how can I pay you?" he asked.
"We have already discussed about it. We divide the money we get for the bills in this Inn; you should save your money to pay for it" Hao said.
"I have to find out about it soon" he said. Then they heard someone giggling. They looked at outside and saw Tamao standing in the hallway.
"I can pay for him, Hao" Tamao said. "Tamao" Hao said in surprised. Horo-horo looked at her unsurely.
"Are you sure?" Hao asked her. Tamao nodded and give Hao the money. He took it happily.
"Thanks" he said. Horo-horo looked at Tamao disbelievingly. Tamao looked at him.
"ARIGATOU TAMMAOOOOO!" Horo-horo shouted and hugged her. Tamao laughed and blushed. Yoh smiled at both of them.
"Lucky, Horo-horo" he said. "Why are you here Tamao?" Ren who just finished bathing ask her. Tamao looked at him.
"I'm going to return the book that I borrowed from Horo-horo" she said. Horo-horo who was still hugging her released her and looked at her questioning.
"What book?"
"This book" she said and showed the novel to him. "Oh, that… it's okay, I don't read it anymore, you can return it to the library if you want to" he said. Tamao smiled. "It's still under your name right? I can't return it," she explained.
"OH okay… Thanks Tamao" he said. "I'll return your money as soon as possible" he added. Tamao nodded.
"I don't mind. Then, I'll go back to my apartment" she said.
"Wait, Tamao. Can you tell Anna that I'm sorry?" Yoh asked. Tamao looked at him and nodded.
"Okay, she seems a bit sad when she went home. What happened?" she asked him. Yoh shook his head. "Nothing, I didn't mean to lie to her…" he mumbled. Tamao turned around.
"I'm going home now" she said. "Wait, Tamao" Ren said. Tamao stopped. Everyone was looking at him. Tamao waited for Ren to continue. Ren blushed.
"Say hi to Pirika from me" he said and turned around. Horo-horo and Yoh grinned. Tamao smiled again.
"Hai!" she said and ran outside. Horo-horo and Yoh looked at Ren.
"Say hi ne…" Yoh said. "Say hi ka…" Horo-horo said. That made Ren's face became redder than before. Both of Yoh and Horo-horo laughed together. Ren turned around.
"SHUT UP!" he shouted. "What happened?" Hao asked. He just came back from his room. He looked at Ren.
"Ah, Ren! You should pay for the rent!" Hao said. Ren stared at him.
"Ah, I forgot"
"What? Ren said 'hi' to me?" Pirika shouted. Tamao nodded happily.
"AAAHH! I'm so happy!" she yelled. Tamao laughed. "What else?" she asked her. "Nothing, just for Anna…" Anna looked up at Tamao.
"Yoh wants to say sorry to you" Tamao looked at Anna. Anna didn't answer her. "Sorry? Why?" Pirika asked.
"Alright" Anna said. "Why doesn't he say it to me straightly?" she asked. Tamao shook her head. "Maybe he's afraid, because you're too bossy" Pirika said. Anna looked at her, raised her right eyebrow. Pirika covered her mouth with her hands.
"If you boyfriend lies to you, would you be happy?" Anna asked, looking at Pirika. Pirika shook her head while her hands still covering her mouth.
"I'm going out" Anna said and stood up. Tamao watched her walk outside the apartment and closed the door. They both looked at each other.
"I'm going outside for a while" Yoh said. Hao looked at him. "I'm going to make dinner, you should come home after I finish" he said.
"Alright" Yoh shouted from the hallway.
He opened the door and closed it. He turned around and noticed a girl walked slowly towards the way he wanted to go. He noticed its Anna.
"Anna" Yoh called her. Anna looked at beside her and saw Yoh running towards her. She looked away.
"Hey, why are you mad?" he asked her. Anna didn't answer him but keep walking.
"Anna…." He walked faster to catch up with her. Yoh looked at her worried. Anna looked at him then stuck her tongue out. Yoh stared at her shocked.
"So you're not mad! You're teasing me!" Yoh said. Anna smiled.
"I don't want you to lie again to me" she said. Yoh didn't answer her. He was lying about something very important and she didn't know about it. 'I can't tell her now' he thought. Anna walked slowly to the lake and rest on the barrier.
"Can I trust you?" she asked Yoh. Yoh looked at her seriously. "Yes, of course" he said. Anna looked at the lake. "Because I'm going to tell you something very important" she said.
"I'll tell you the truth" she said. Yoh blinked. "The truth?" Anna nodded.
"I'll tell you everything… after I told you everything I want you to tell me all about you. I don't want you to lie to me" she said. Yoh nodded slowly, but inside his heart he began to panic. 'What? Telling the truth to her? I don't want her to know that I'm the Shaman King!' he thought.
"You know about Shaman Fight aren't you?" she asked. "Yes, I know about that, it's been 1 year ago" Yoh said.
"Right. Did I already tell you about my mother and father?" she asked. Yoh nodded. "Yes, they divorced". Anna nodded.
"After they divorced, my mother took me to live in Korea with her friends. My father moved back to America and he married again with another woman and I have a stepsister. When my mother passed away, she gave all of her money to me. My father tried to take away all of the money that my mother gave to me. Of course I refused, then he ordered my stepsister to take the money. I can't defeat her, she has the powerful shikigami and I have to run away from her all the time. I ran away from her and went to Japan. I heard there's a shaman fight and I compete in it. I meet Pirika and Tamao and we became friends. They always help me to solve my problems. We make a team and become so powerful. I felt my power increased. Just when it's the 1st preliminary I lost against someone called Kanna, she's so powerful. Pirika and Tamao heard that I lost; they decide to drop their battle too. They helped me to save the money in Okinawa, where my mother lived before. Then they also help me to school at Funbary Gaoka, my mother's friend helped me about school from Korea, but I'm afraid that she'll be in trouble with my father later. My father caught her; luckily she didn't say anything about me. My father told my stepsister to search for me, I hope that she doesn't find me here" she finished the story. Yoh looked at her sad. He hugged her.
"You're lucky you meet me Anna! I'm so sad about what happened to you" he hugged her tight. She felt she was going to cry when he hugged her, but she tried to avoid it. She released herself from his hug and Yoh looked at her.
"Is that also the reason why you didn't want to have a boyfriend?" he asked her. Anna sighed.
"I just don't want you to know anything about me. I don't want you to get involved in this mess, Yoh" she said. Yoh looked at her eyes.
"Why did you tell about it then?" he asked her. She smiled a little. "I said I believe you" she said. Yoh looked at her.
"I'm searching for the Shaman King to help me with my problem, and to hide from my sister. That's why I also stayed in Japan" Anna said. He hugged her again.
"Anna, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" he said. Anna didn't understand why he said that, but she didn't want to ask further. She looked up at him.
"Now tell me about you" she said.
"I also competed in the Shaman Fight to meet Hao" Yoh said. "Really? SO, that's why you two fight with each other?" she asked him. Yoh nodded. "Yes" he said. "Just that. I don't know that you also competed in the Shaman Fight" he said. Anna leaned her head on his chest.
"If you're the Shaman King I'm so happy" she said teasingly. Yoh looked at her serious. Both of them become silent.
"Anna… The truth is…" Anna looked at him to continue. "The… The truth is…" "I'M THE-"
"YOOOH!" Hao shouted. Both Yoh and Anna looked at Hao running with frying pan in his right hand. He's wearing the apron.
"I TOLD YOU TO COME HOME AFTER I FINISH MAKING DINNER!" Hao said angrily. He then noticed Anna standing beside him staring at him shocked.
"Damn, I didn't know Anna's here" Hao said, hide the frying pan behind him. Anna laughed. Yoh looked at her, he was glad she laughed.
"I never think that Hao will ever hold that kind of thing running around with it. You're like a mother" she said. Hao blushed.
"HEY! I'm the oldest in the Inn, that's why I have to prepare for everything, even for the dinner!" he said. Yoh laughed. "Yeah, you're right" he said. Hao slammed Yoh's head with the frying pan.
"HEEEEY! You don't have to do that!" he said holding his head with pain.
"Come on, the dinner will become cold if you don't eat it soon. Do you want to come to dinner with us also? Because Pirika and Tamao came when I finished" he said. Anna nodded happily.
"Okay, I will. Thank you" she said. Hao turned around and walked home.
"Are you okay?" she asked Yoh. Yoh nodded. "It hurts, Hao's so mean…" he said. Anna smiled a little. "Thank you for listening patiently for my story" she said. Yoh smiled at her. Yoh smiled at her. They both then walked to the En Inn with holding hands.
"Yoh, what are you going to say before?" Yoh's hearts almost jump when she asked that.
"Huh? What? Oh nothing" he said. Anna looked at him suspicious.
"Really?" she asked him. Yoh nodded.
'Sorry, can't tell you now' Yoh thought.
'But I will always protect you, no matter what'To Be Continue...
