"Oy! Anna!" She quickly picked herself up. "You want dinner?"
Yoh.I can always count on you, only you to never forget about me. But if I never came.would we never see each other? He would probably be glad if I just left. But I can't.
The door opened. Anna's eyes opened wide. There was Yoh, in an apron that was supposed to be white, holding a spatula. They must have burned down half the house.
I can never leave them alone even for a minute.
"No, I'll skip." She replied quickly looking him up and down. Yoh must have noticed that.
"Ehhehe," he replied, scratching his head. "At least we didn't burn the whole kitchen."
She was silent.
"Oh, come on," he said. "The dinner came out fine. You have to scratch off a few dark spots but otherwise it's eatable."
In truth she didn't want to starve to death anyway.
She stood up and brushed past Yoh.
If only.
Anna came downstairs not daring to look at either the samurai or Manta. They made their best to act casual and not make Anna angry.
I'm not angry at all. I just wish you would wipe those scared expressions off your faces and meet me with a smile. Argh, of course, I brought it all down on myself.
She sat down, not sure where Yoh would be sitting. She wanted to be as far away from him as possible, in case he had some powers to sense that something was wrong with her.
Amidamaru and Manta also sat down.
Ooh, no. Just great. They left an empty seat right near me. The chair is even brushing against my leg. Kso, kso.
Yoh came five minutes later.
What was he doing all this time? I can't suspect him for trying to find clues of why I was acting that way. I didn't leave any tears on the windowsill, did I? Baka.
He sat down in the remaining chair. Anna felt like standing up and leaving at that second. Something held her back. What was it?
Yoh passed her a plate with rice and, what was that? Salmon? Most likely, that was what I asked him to buy. No, correction, ordered him to buy.
She couldn't help but sigh again. Yoh looked at her for a second before moving his eyes away.
Argh.
She picked up a fork. Well, here goes. She poked the food with the appliance. No way to turn back. She put the food into her mouth.
Not bad, really. I'm NOT trying to be nice to Yoh, it's actually pretty good. Ok, now how can I send that message without attracting the slightest attention?
She closed her eyes. Doesn't that feel good, just making everyone disappear whenever she felt like being in darkness? Though, without Yoh.
Opening her eyes, she saw that everyone was busy in a conversation, she didn't try to listen. She felt happy that no one took notice in her spacing out and not giving any comments to the food.
Yoh shifted in his seat.
How I want to be able to open my feelings, just laugh along with everyone else, lean on Yoh's shoulder, forget about my problems. If I will not stop thinking about that, I will most likely do that.
She looked at Yoh. He had his head leaned on his arm.
He looks so warm, so inviting. Can't I just fall onto him, just for a little bit? Say that I care about him, run upstairs and curse myself off?
Anna made a disgusting face to herself. This was no time for day dreaming about something that may never even happen. But, why? Why can't it happen? Ahh.I'm asking myself things I can't put together.
She hastily finished the rest of her dinner. She wanted to be alone again. Lost in her own little world, which involved him.
I'll just go then. But no, I don't want to go. I want him to be close to me in reality. Kso, kso, kso! She stood up.
"I'm going to bed," she said.
How I wish you could come along with me. I'd be grateful for even just coming with me to say 'good night'. Is that too much to ask? Yes.
She silently walked around the table toward the stairs. Manta returned to talking with Yoh and Amidamaru.
They didn't take notice in my weird behavior, good. But a part of me kinda wishes they did. Just to be sure that I'm not the only one that cares about me.
Deciding to take a long, hot bath, she changed her course and walked toward the bathroom. She noticed that Yoh had been trying to wipe his dirty face with their only clean towel.
Sigh. He even left the burned up apron in here. Shouldn't it go into the garbage?
Anna filled up the bath with hot water and put in some scented liquid to make it all foamy. Something to take her mind off Yoh.
She took off her usual black dress and lowered herself into the bath. It felt really good to wipe your troubles away, even if just for a few minutes.
I gotta force myself into believing that whatever I'm doing to Yoh is for his own good. Not just because I want to be the wife of a Shaman King. But if I wasn't confident that he would become one, would I ever venture here? Maybe.
