Anna: We left off where I left the table to take a bath. What will happen
after that?

After about ten minutes she washed herself up and put on her pajamas.
What time is it?
She walked into the hall and looked at the clock hanging from the wall.
12:24
It's that late? I should check on Yoh and go to bed.
Anna softly made her way to Yoh's room. She didn't hear any music from inside. Though, the door was closed.
Maybe he's already sleeping? Well, I gotta make sure he's where he's supposed to be.
Very, very quietly she opened the door, without making a sound. She peered into the room. It was very dark in there, but she could see with the help of the moonlight that Yoh was fast asleep. He looked so peaceful.
Would he notice if I came and stroked his hair? What harm is there in that?
She walked over to his bed on tip-toe and sat on the edge. He didn't stir.
Is he pretending to be asleep? I'll kill him if he is.
She reached her hand for his hair. She touched it slightly and quickly withdrew her hand back, as though the hair had burned her skin.
I'll try not to freak out this time.
She picked up her hand and heard a soft moan. She gasped a little. Yoh was shifting in his sleep.
Ooh, please go back to sleep. Go ahead, sleep. I'm just your guardian angel, looking over you. Sleep.
To her immense relief, Yoh was still sleeping. Though now he was lying on his back, rather than on his side. She felt a little queasy, as if his eyes would open any second and he would know she was there.
Come on; stroke his hair and go, NOW!
Hand shaking a little, she let her fingers glide through his soft hair.
How I wish I didn't have to do this in secret. I shouldn't push it. I have to go to bed.
Being careful not to make any sound, she stood up and walked out of the room. She closed the door behind her and walked in the direction of her own room.
Alone, again.
Anna opened her eyes groggily. She looked at the time. It was 11: 42.
Jeez, it's morning already? I should go down and scream at Yoh for trying to sleep in.
Still half asleep, she went downstairs. She felt very cold. She forgot her robe. Looking at the stairs, she decided that it would be too much trouble to go back up. Wasn't there anything she can use instead for now?
It was very dark in the living room.
Has the sun decided to rise late today as well? Damn it, I'm really cold.
She was covered in goose bumps.
Just grab something that's there on the couch. I can't see what it is. But I'm really cold.
Careful not to trip on anything in the dark, she walked over to the couch and picked up the piece of cloth.
It'll do. Even though it's not something very warm, I just hate being cold.
She put it on and seemed to feel better.
Hmm. it doesn't feel like something I would wear. Is it one of my old clothes that I brought from home? As long as I'm comfortable, I don't care.
Anna stood there for a moment trying to remember where she was going in the first place. Ahh.yes, to wash up.
She moved toward the bathroom and opened the door. She was looking for the switch and finally found it. The lights clicked on and Anna walked over to the mirror. She almost fell.
She was wearing Yoh's shirt. How could I have been so stupid as to not realize that there is another being living in here that wears clothes?
She softly hit her head against the wall.
Baka.
She washed up, but didn't take off Yoh's shirt. Why? She wasn't very sure of that.
She sprinted back up to her room.
What am I gonna do? I can't go into his room and just give it back. I'd look like such a foolish little child, playing a game.
She didn't want to take off the shirt just yet anyway. It felt really comfortable. And to think that Yoh wears it all the time. Yoh.
Ack! That IS the only shirt he wears. Unless he's training. And he's not. That means he will be looking for it.
Anna's eyes went wild. What to do? What to do?
She took off the shirt and put it on her lap. Huh.
Someone knocked at the door.
She quickly hid the shirt behind her.
"What is it?" she asked in her usual annoying tone.
Yoh slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Have you seen my shirt?" he asked.
Am I psychic or what?
"How am I supposed to know where you put your things? Maybe it's downstairs."
He looked a little sad. Damn it.
Yoh closed the door and she heard his sandals going clack-clack against the stairs.
This is my chance. I have to go and put the shirt back in his room. Hurry up!
Forcing herself to stand up, she ran into Yoh's room, holding the shirt.
I don't want to let go of it. Yoh will come back any second, baka, just leave the thing here and get out of here!!
Anna placed the shirt on a chair that was near the window.
Good, now get out of here. Go!
She walked out of the room making sure that Yoh wasn't on his way back. She slid into her room and closed the door.
Oh, thank God that's over. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
