Aftermath (Epilogue)

Anna and Manta arrived back home bright and early in the morning. Not a moment too soon as far as Manta was concerned either. Yoh wasn't waiting outside to welcome them home. Anna would be sure to make him do an extra 50km for that.

The next thing the Itako found odd was that Faust was sitting out on her front yard with Eliza. She didn't know what the doctor was doing in her home and she was sure she didn't want to know.

When she got inside and removed her shoes, the first thing she noticed was Horo Horo curled up in a ball on the floor shivering. He was muttering something incomprehensible so she chose to ignore him.

She then went over to the kitchen. If Yoh had breakfast prepared, she might forgive him for his earlier failure. Instead of the feast she was expecting, she walked in on Ryu and Lyserg eating various foods off each other.

"Ri~ght." She pivoted on one foot, doing a 180-degree turn, and left the way she came.

Where was Yoh? She couldn't wait to make him pay. That image had burned itself into her memory by now and she wanted vengeance! After finding that his room hadn't been slept in, she decided to check the other rooms. That baka probably fell asleep in someone else's room.

She finally found a room with a futon currently in use. The blanket was completely covering its occupant. All she could see was the top of Yoh's head.

"Get up now!" Anna commanded. "I know you're in there Yoh"

 "Go away." Said a voice that wasn't her fiancĂ©'s and a hand came from under the covers to shoo her away.

The end of her patience had neared and she ripped the blanket off. To her horror, she found Yoh, her future husband, cuddled up with Tao Ren, the Chinese shaman.

Again she pivoted around and left the room, a blank look on her face.

"What was that?" Yoh asked sleepily.

"Nothing, go back to sleep."

Sorry that Horo didn't get any lovin'. I know there are a lot of fans but I just didn't know what to do with him.

Hope you enjoyed it.
