I changed the title of the fic again. I just always get frustrated because it really doesn't fit so I always change it. But I promise this last one is the last time I'll change the title. PROMISE!
~~Yoh's POV~~
Another day of cleaning. I really tried to explain to Anna that I just cleaned the household yesterday! Gee, it's always like she has visitors. I hate it when she thinks of that.
There was only one improvement in the household. Since HoroHoro and the others aren't staying here for a while, I had some reasonable excuses to Anna so I wouldn't clean the house. Sometimes she would let me relax for a day (except for cooking food, which IS a disaster), mostly not.
Anna walked towards me. She was going to say something.
Yoh: What do you want me to do?
Anna: I checked the house. I guess you wouldn't have to clean today.
Yoh: But I haven't finished yet—
Anna: *in a menacingly cold voice* I told you not to clean, didn't I?
Yoh: *looking frightened* Ahhh… y-yes…
Anna: Then just do whatever you want.
Yoh: OK.
I returned the broom to the cupboard.
Anna: And Yoh—
Yoh: Yeah?
Anna: You don't have to cook food. Cousin and the others are coming over.
Yoh: Alright.
I'm relieved. This is the most beautiful day I ever had!!
I went outside to the backyard. Just next door was the house my friends use to live. I can see the room where Lyserg was supposed to stay, before he went to England for some detective tests. Now there was somebody occupying the room. Maybe a visitor.
I saw HoroHoro and Ren playing tennis in the tennis court. I called them.
Yoh: Hey!! Ren!! Horo!! Over here!
HoroHoro: 'Lo, Yoh! How is it goin'? (A/N: CREDITS TO MY IDIOTIC CLASSMATES WHO KEPT BUGGING ME, NAMELY MOE AND JULES *NO OFFENCE!*)
Ren: Still cleaning for Anna?
Yoh: No.
HoroHoro: Surprising. Are you still going to cook food?
Yoh: *grinned* No. Yume and her big bro are coming over.
Ren: How come you didn't say so? We never knew Yume's bro.
HoroHoro: Me too. But she always told me that her Onii-chan is a nice person.
Yoh: How about you guys come over here? Let's have a cup of tea. (A/N: MORE CREDITS!!!!!!!)
Ren/Horo: Nice idea.
HoroHoro: We're just going to change and be there in no time.
Ren: See ya.
Yoh: *waved* See ya!
They went inside the house. I smiled and waited for them to come here. In the meantime, I'm just going to relax. I can here Anna listening to the radio. Then I just recognized the song she was listening to above me. It was one of the tracks in HoroHoro's CD. Maybe she borrowed it from him, blushing furiously. She supposed to like Horo too, but I'm not jealous of him. Anyways, Anna is still my fiancée. No matter what, she's going to be married to me and be mine (A/N: HEEHEEHEEHEE!!!). I wonder what's Hao's expression? Hehehehehe… I bet he's jealous.
I'm bored. I yawned and slowly closed my eyes. I was drifting to sleep…
~~DREAM~~
What am I doing here? It's all dark… I can't see a thing… But I can still hear Anna playing the 4th track… The song started… Suddenly, big blurry moving pictures appeared in front of me… I just realized, it was my thoughts…
When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can / but
I can't pretend this is the way it will stay / I'm just
Trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm
Lying my way from you
I saw myself regretting everything Hao wanted to do… I was supposed to be his twin younger brother, I know that… But the only reason why he wanted to be the Shaman King is to dominate the world of humans and make a world only for powerful shamans… He's stupid; he also wanted to take Anna away from me…
[No / no turning back now]
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
[No / no turning back now]
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
[No turning back now]
Anywhere on my own
Cause I can see
[No / no turning back now]
The very worst part of you
Is me
I don't want him to take over me… If he lets me choose to be with him or be alone, I'd rather be alone, with no friends, nobody who cares about me… I don't want him to manipulate me, use me for his own evil ways… He may be my older brother but he's my worst part…
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who i ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So i pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
[Trying to bend the truth]
But the more i push
The more I'm pulling away
'cause I'm lying my way from you
He let me learn all his powers inside his book… But he was only doing this so he could use me… Even my friends… I showed him that I didn't do that to rejoin him… I did that to show him that I'm not a puppet… But my own friend did that for me… He was more powerful than me… He changed a lot… So I just looked like I was just helping him… But I thought he was just doing that for people who want Hao to banish from this world… He was doing that to avenge his own family…
[No / no turning back now]
I wanna be pushed aside

[No turning back now]
Anywhere on my own
Cause i can see
[No / no turning back now]
The very worst part of you
Is me
This isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said

Is me
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
Hao is my worst part, and will always be…
~~End of Dream~~
I woke up from my dream. I felt cold sweat on my face. Then I realized Anna was calling me.
Anna: Yoh!! Come here!!
Yoh: Wait!
I went inside our house to talk to Anna. She was holding a little piece of paper.
Yoh: What's with that piece of paper?
Anna: Our guests are here. Can you go to the market and buy these?
Yoh: Sure.
Anna: You can go with Yume's ol' bro, if you want.
Yoh: Nice idea.
Anna: I'll call him.
She went inside the guests' room. I followed her. I saw Yume and her big brother sitting down. Yume saw me and smiled.
Yume: *smiled* Hello, Yoh-kun! How are ya?
Yoh: *smiled back* Fine.
Yume: This is my Onii-chan, Shinichi (A/N: Of course Yume is a Kudo!!!!). Onii-chan, this is Yoh-kun.
Shinichi: Hello.
Yoh: Hello. Anna said if you can come with me to the market to buy—
Shinichi: S'alright. I'll come.
Yoh: Thanks.
I went outside the room and saw that Ren and Horo came already.
HoroHoro: Hey, Yoh!
Yoh: Hello! Wanna come with me to the market with Shinichi?
Ren: Sure.
HoroHoro: But why?
Yoh: The more, the merrier! By the way, this is Yume's big bro.
HoroHoro: Hello, dude.
Ren: *nods*
Shinichi: Hello. Do you think we should go?
All: Yeah, sure!
I didn't realize that it was a big day, too.
~~~~~~
Finished!! Sorry it's not to long. It took me hard to write his thoughts. I'll try harder next time.
