Akina: Oh man... I'm about to get my hair redone, and I skipped breakfast, it's time for lunch, I'm tired, and I'm in misery.
Horo: Serves you right for kidnapping me.
Akina: Shut up. I'm not in the mood to deal with you.
Horo: So I can leave and never come back?
Akina: Go ahead. You're eating up all my food anyway, you glutton.
Horo: Yahoo! Free! *doesn't notice collar and leash that I have on him*
I don't own Shaman King. There, you happy?
Oh, I just read my email. Thank you, Aya83! I feel inspired! So much energy! Must write! Continue for Aya83 (you're name's pretty. Why didn't I think of that?) z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z (reflects my mood right now)
Manta stared at the tray. Why did he order a hamburger? It probably wasn't even beef. More like some meat he didn't want to eat. Roasted liver... fried tongue... sautŽ heart...
"Let's see, hamburger for the short one, sushi for the missy, and something to drink for Yoh."
The midget stared at the hamburger. It looked good, steam rising, spices visible, tender meat. His mouth started watering. Anna broke apart her chopsticks, and picked up some sushi. She ate it, like it was from a normal restaurant. But she was wary. She was an exterminator. It was likely that the food was poisoned.
Yoh had a see through beer bottle, with a clear liquid inside of it. He popped the cork, and took a long drink. "Ah man, Horo, you have to tell me where you get this stuff."
"And ruin my business? No way!"
"Come on, it's just me."
"No way."
Yoh grumbled, taking another long draft. Anna looked at the bottle. "What is that?"
Swallowed, then. "What's what?"
"What you're drinking?"
"That my friend," Horo proudly interrupted. "This is my one and only, hand made bottle of demon sake! Made with the finest ingredients in the world, this thing brings demons from all points of the earth spilling into my restaurant!"
Anna looked around. "I don't see any demons spilling in here."
Horo froze, sweating a bit. "Ur, heheh, that's because, um, they're all on vacation, yeah, that's right! They're having too much fun in the sun right now to personally come in here to enjoy, but I assure you, wherever they are, they're drinking Horo Horo's original Angel Wings!"
Silence. Yoh finished the bottle in record time. "Don't listen to him. He's crazy."
"Like all of you demons are," Manta (A/N: Ha, forgot he was there, didn't yah?) said under his breath. Yoh glanced at him, causing the midget to cringe.
"You haven't eaten much of your hamburger, Manta. What, not hungry or something?"
"Um, no, I'm not! I had a big lunch, you see? Ha ha!" Manta finished nervously. Yoh shrugged.
"Waste not want not." He took the hamburger and bit into it.
"Hey, Yoh, have you heard the latest news?" Horo dropped his voice to barely above a whisper.
"Depends on what news we're talking about."
"Some demons over in Nerima are thinking about causing an uprising. Says demons have lived in the shadows of humans for way to long. Already ten people, both demons and humans, have been killed."
"I see. Don't they realize that exterminators still exist, even if they are rare?"
"That's the thing. Three of someone like me can easily overpower one of them. You could probably face the whole population by yourself."
"What's your point?"
"What I'm saying is, humans don't stand a chance against the demons. Given that information, would you join the uprising?"
Anna watched Yoh closely. His answer could effect their (very) slight friendship. She was already shocked at the fact the Yoh could probably wipe the floor with her given the chance. He didn't seem to have that much power when he came into the classroom today, even though it was a considerably large amount. Was he dialing his power down even more?
"There's nothing in it for me, Horo Horo. I don't do things like kill innocent people just for the heck of it. I don't even like to do it when I need to."
Horo smirked. "That's what I thought you'd say. Of course, go back maybe three hundred years ago and things would be different, hm?"
"Maybe."
"Don't maybe me, Yoh Asakura. I was there."
"What was he like three hundred years ago, Horo?" Anna asked, trying to look as innocent as possible for an expressionless person. Even Manta (A/N: Forgot he was there again, huh?) had shown some interest in the conversation. He wanted to know if he should just give up on life right then and there; if demons would take over earth, what's the point in living?
"Ah, that's not my place to say, Missy. You'll have to ask him." He nodded towards Yoh, who looked bored.
"Yoh? What were you like three hundred years ago?" Anna asked him, surprising him a bit. Where did she get the courage?
"What does it matter? It was then, not now. And now is what's important."
The exterminator was disappointed with that answer, enough that she became angry. "Yoh Asakura, I want to know before I even start to become friends with you. I don't want to be an ally to someone who keeps secrets. Tell me now, or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?" Yoh had a playful smile on his face, but it was enough to remind Anna of her place. She was surrounded by demons, and was getting ready to threaten someone much more powerful than she. She growled, then turned back to her sushi. Groaning in frustration, she stood up.
"I'm going home." With that, she walked right out, glaring at any demon who happened to even look at her. Horo winced.
"Good job, Yoh. You've angered one of the most powerful exterminators alive."
Yoh laughed, standing up from his leaning position against the bar. "I know. Trust me, Horo, I know."

Anna stormed into her apartment. How dare he how dare he how dare he!!!! Making fun of her like that! Oh, she just wanted to (Fill in the blank here, all you happy readers)!
No, that wasn't a good enough punishment. He was a demon, remember? He could withstand something like that (except for all you people that said "Kick him in the nuts!" Alas, the male population of every species has their weak points. That makes it more fun for us girls, right? ^_^).
Anna collapsed onto her small bed, hugging her pillow. He was such a jerk. First he stalked her, then he kissed her, then he had the nerve to move into her class, and on top of that, he invited her to dinner and insulted her! Never associate with demons, that was one of the rules of life!
She looked up to a tap on her window. Sighing, she stood and opened it, only to be staring in the face of, guess who?
"You alright?" The demon asked, concern in his voice.
"Go away."
"As the lady wishes." Yoh disappeared from sight, causing Anna to blink. One second he was there, the next...
She humphed, closing the window. She turned around, and almost ran into Yoh. She scowled at him. "Do you enjoy pestering me like this?"
"Um, yeah, I do!" Yoh answered, innocence written on his face.
"Why, may I ask?"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because you look cute when you get all mad?" He tapped the tip of her nose, causing her to blush despite herself. "Or maybe it's because that blush is so becoming to you?"
"Yoh, get out of my room."
"Why?"
"Yoh, just get out!"
"You're scared." Yoh chuckled. "You're scared of what would happen if you fell in love with me."
"Yeah, you're right. I am scared, okay? Now just get out!"
He brushed his lips against hers, then pulled away, smiling. "As you wish, my dear." He disappeared out of the window, leaving Anna to herself. She was frozen in the same position she had been in when Yoh kissed her, before she crumpled to the floor. It had felt good. Both times, she had enjoyed it when Yoh kissed her. She let all of her emotional walls fall, and erupted into tears.
"Damn you, Yoh Asakura."

Oi, that was exhausting. It's harder to write stories than I realized. No wonder most people take so long to update. Like I've been reading this one that hasn't updated in about two weeks... Don't you hate it in stories when Anna is all bossing Yoh around? I mean, she's a strong women (go ahead, sister!), but Yoh's a good guy. So, I finally decided that it was time for payback. Now it's Yoh pulling the punches! Horo: At least I'm not a bad guy. Akina: Yeah, I was gonna make you good in this one. Well, as good as a demon gets. Horo: But Yoh is scary! He's all secretive... Akina: Hey, like I said, it's time for a shift in the balance of power. Anna, no, Yoh, yes! Alright. Please review, like my buddy, Aya83 has.
I don't own Shaman King. There, you happy?
