Chapter 3
Disclaimer : Yadaa yadaa yadaa…. Shaman King Isn't mine……'Sob' Life's so unfair.
Anna : Thank Kami-sama for that. I wouldn't dare imagine how our lives would turn out if it was handled by these types of mad fanfic authors.
Yoh : I don't think it's that bad… (Smiles)
Ren : Think again. Imagine Horohoro and Chocolove mixed as one single person. Except there is about a million of them
Yoh : NNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (runs around in panic)
Horohoro
& Chocolove :Hey!!!!!!
T.one : And now our feature presentation
*BOOM* *CRASH* The thunder roared as Yoh ran through the streets of Tokyo searching for Anna. He had left as soon as he had talked to Maki-san..
(Flashback)
"Moshi moshi… Maki-san desu ka?" asked Yoh
"Hai, Maki desu. Yoh-kun ?" came the reply.
"Aaaa…. I was wondering …um… can I speak to Anna"
"Anna-san? She isn't here. I thought she was with you. Apparently Anna had cancelled our sleepover. She sent a boy named Hao to inform me"
'Hao!!' Yoh thought as he became more alarmed. But he answered "Ano, thank you Mari-san. It must have slipped my mind" he replied. Then he put down the phone and ran out as fast as he could. The only thing ringing in his mind was Anna's safety.
As he rushed out into the storm, he didn't even stop to seek help from his friends or even Amidamaru. In his hurry, he didn't even notice a pair of eyes monitoring his every move.
(End flashback)
"Kami-sama! Please keep Anna safe" he prayed as he continued searching for any sign of his fiancé in the storm.
Hao was looking at Anna, who was still sitting by the doorway as far away from him as possible, again. He smirked as a sudden thought of how ironic their situation was.
'Like some kind of romance movie where two people who hates each others' guts gets stuck with each other in a run down hut and ends up falling in love' He nearly laughed out loud at that thought when he remembered that Anna would most likely kill him on the spot for even imagining it. But still, as he glanced at her again for the umpteenth time, he became a little concerned as he could make out that she was shivering and he might be mistaken but, he could make out tear marks on her face.
Anna was still trying to ignore the other shaman presence. She could feel his gaze on her and it was making her more and more annoyed as time passes. If only she felt up to it to whack over the head, she would. But sadly she was feeling cold and tired after all that had happened. She could feel her body shaking and heard her own stomach growling in torment. She scowled and hoped that mister I-am-the-future-shama-king-and-there's-nothing-Yoh-can-do-about-it didn't hear her or he might say something stupid again. She sighed and continued to ignore his gaze and looked at the downpour. But this time her gaze blurred, and her head nearly hit the floor if it wasn't for a pair of strong arms holding her up. 'Ugh…Him' she growled.
"You're shivering and feverish" he said as he put one hand on Anna's forehead. Normally, the itako would have pushed him away telling him to mind his own business but his time she was feeling too weak, both spiritually and physically, to retort.
His usual smile was gone from his face and was replaced by a more serious expression. But that was not the image that made her speechless. It was his eyes. Those opaque coloured orbs that bored deep into her soul. They felt familiar. They made her feel comforted. 'No' her mind said 'it's not possible.' The image in front of her reminded her of someone. 'Someone important Masaka!. Its' too déjà vu,' she thought as she tried to hold his gaze. "Dare ka omaiwa?" she managed to blurt out as she finally let the darkness take her. However, even with the blanket of darkness overcoming her, the eyes haunted her.
Hao stood there as he pondered about Anna's question. He then quickly dismissed the thought as he heard a noise from outside the shrine. With one fluid motion he picked the itako's small frame up and settled her beside the fire.
"Hao-sama" came a voice.
"What is it Opacho?" Hao replied.
"It's the young Asakura. He found out that Kyouyama-san had disappeared and is frantically searching the whole town for her. He will be here in a few moments Hao-sama" quipped the small sized shaman
"Hmm… He's a bit ahead of schedule. But I might be able to put it to my advantage" said Hao thoughtfully.
"Hao-sama"
"Opacho. Return to your duty and do your best to deter him from coming anywhere near here," ordered Hao.
"Hai, Hao-sama" replied Opacho as he left.
Hao turned his thoughts back to Anna and smiled. "It won't be long" he smirked to himself. And then proceed to leave the establishment, but not before stealing a kiss from the sleeping itako, disappearing into the dark.
T.one : Okay, the 3rd chapter done. I know it is not as long as I hoped it to be but hey at
least it's something. sigh…. I was brain dead for quite some time. Anyway,
thanks to the people who reviewed the fic. I know it may be a little AUish, but it
had to be to fit into the plot. BTW I'll try to get the next chap ASAP and get the
whole gang involved next time.
Ren : Someone please stop her!!!! I beg of YOU!!! Don't subject us to her humiliation
!! Help!! (Gets whacked by the author with a large sized mallet)
T.one : Remember to review. I write faster with good inspiration. Bye!
