She almost gave up any hope left in her when she heard someone's footsteps.
Is it someone that wants to attack me? Perhaps rob me?
She looked around. The footsteps died down. What was going on?
Anna stood up.
Cold, cold, cold! I want to go sit on the bench again.
She shivered when she heard the footsteps approaching again, faster this time.
And then.she wanted to cry with joy.
Yoh.you came for me. You actually care that I wasn't at home.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked.
Trying to hide her excitement, she walked over to him.
"I was just sitting here, thinking," she replied.
"Kind of late for a stroll in the park," he said.
Dork, I'm so happy you came. Let me hug you. No, I can't. Stop thinking that!
"Yeah, well," said Anna. "I'm a weird person."
Yoh laughed. He noticed that Anna was shivering violently now.
"Here," he said. He took off his shirt and gave it to her.
She looked up at him.
"Aren't you going to be cold shirt-less?" she said looking at his naked chest.
"It's part of my training, since I didn't do any today," he said with a grin.
Anna silently put on the shirt. It felt exactly the same as the last time she wore it. So warm, so soft.
She walked past Yoh and continued down the road.
He followed.
Damn it, which way am I supposed to go? Since when am I the leader for this?
She slowed down her pace, to let Yoh go in the front. But he didn't go past her. He stayed by her side.
I love it that he is so caring all of a sudden. But then again, maybe he was always caring. Maybe a little arrogant, but still sweet.
Silence. That was all to describe their behavior. Anna shifted the shirt closer to her, to try and make her warmer. But the only thing that can make her warm now is him.
"How did you find me?" she asked.
"Spirits." He said shortly. He sounded pretty angry.
But why are you angry at me? He seems like he has a lot on his mind. They neared their house.
I hope I can remember the way for future reference.
Yoh opened the front door and she entered. She was still wearing his shirt. She was about to give it back to him when she noticed that he put on his training shirt.
How could you understand that I wanted to wear this shirt for just a little more?
She sat on the couch and felt him doing the same thing too. They sat in the darkness, the loneliness.
Come on, think of something to say. Say something!
"Arigato," she said in barely a whisper.
"No problem." he said.
She took off her bandana and put it between them.
Such a great chance to apologize for her behavior, but she can't. Ever.
She decided she wanted to go to bed. She reached for her bandana and met only Yoh's hand.
What the.?
"Yoh." she whispered.
In the little light left in the room, she could see that he was taking off his headphones. He leaned over to her and put them over her ears. Her eyes were wide with confusion. She heard soft music in her ears. It was so peaceful. She leaned back on the couch's back and closed her eyes.
Why did he do that? I don't care, I want to listen to this music. So soothing.
Then Anna felt Yoh move toward her spot.
Getting a bit freaky. What on earth is he planning to do?
Yoh put his arm around her. Anna didn't try to protest. She was too interested in the music.
Then something happened so quickly that Anna was blanked from any sound.
The kiss.
Yoh kissed Anna on the lips and that made her hot all over. Had Yoh planned this?
A sweet tender kiss that would last a lifetime in my memory. Don't let go of me Yoh, I love you.
The kiss broke. Anna didn't know what to do so she put her head on his lap and relaxed her whole body.
The music was back. Better than ever.
She felt him caressing her blonde hair.
Anna snuggled against him, so relieved, so glad.
"You were the first girl that I fell in love with," he whispered. "That still didn't change."
Anna's eyes opened instantly. She didn't raise her head from his lap but told him that she felt the same way.
Yoh.you are the one. The future Shaman King, my future husband. Thank you, Grandma Asakura.
