I'm so glad you like it ^_^. I'm sorry these chapters are so short, they'll be longer in time (I hope...) _...anyway...thank you for your kind reviews. O_O Well, I guess it's no deal then. Um...well, if you guys really want it a Yoh/Anna I could do that. Though an OC/Yoh would have been different *shrugs*. So, anyway, this chapter is kind of short, I apologize for that along with the delay. Enjoy what I've got for this chapter ^_^;;;...hopefully. And as for what Izumi looks like? I remember someone asking about that a while ago. Well...Black hair that ended at the small of her back, tied back into a pony tail with green eyes, she was about 5'6 and weighed the weight...she well...should have weighed o_o.

Waiting Only For You

Chapter 6

Coming home from school on Monday, Akina headed to change to train, but heard someone in the kitchen and arched an eyebrow. Apparently the visitor was snacking by the fridge, she was unaware of who this person could be. "Hello?" She asked timidly and heard the snacking cease as he lifted his head and turned his head to the door, where he saw the young girl stand. "Who're you?!" He asked with a mouthful of food. "Excuse me?" She asked. He then swallowed and looked at her, then saw Yoh at her side.

"Yoh, do you know her?" The spiky blue haired boy asked. "Yeah, this is Akina," Yoh grinned and patted the girl's shoulder gently. "Trey, meet Akina."

"Trey?" She asked. Trey wiped his mouth with his jacket's sleeve. "Hi." At this Akina bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Wow, formal," Trey noted and then pulled Yoh out of hearing distance. "Where'd you find such a beauty?" He asked, his hands firmly placed on Yoh's shoulders. Yoh laughed some. "She came to me, actually."

"When???"

"Just a few days ago," Yoh said casually. "Why?" He was an oblivious one. "What are YOU doing here?" Trey slowly turned his head to see Anna staring at him, her hands placed firmly at her hips. "Well?" She was growing impatient. Trey smiled nervously at her, sweat dropping.

"Uhhh, hi Anna," Was what came out of the snowboarders mouth. Anna grabbed him by his ear and led him out of the house, tossing him out. Trey making obscene noises as she did so, struggling for freedom. Although he knew it was no use. Akina walked to the window and watched Anna toss him out, placing a hand to her mouth in horror. Wondering why the itako was treating him like she was. Did she not like him?

"Don't worry about him, he'll be back," Yoh assured her.

"But won't Anna just toss him out again?"

"Well, yeah," Yoh laughed. "But during the meantime we have fun."

"I'm sure you do," She said, then turned to see Trey long gone and Anna walking back into the house. She looked to the two, her eyes staring down coldly at them. Like daggers ready to pierce their tender flesh. "So, where did you two go last night?" 'She found out?! But how?!' Yoh asked himself mentally.

"Your little friend told me," Her thumb pointed to Izumi who was comically sobbing.

"She made me, Lady Akina! She tied me in her prayer beads!"

"Oh pipe down!" Anna yelled back. Akina glared at Anna. "What right do you have tying down my spirit?!"

"What business do I have training you, Akina?" Anna asked. Akina looked up at her, her angered gaze softening. "Though your family would have wanted it, so their name wasn't disgraced anymore than it already was, I had faith in you, Akina." Akina kept silent. What could she say to that? Now her heart sunk heavily with guilt. Anna had faith in her? She thought Anna hated her!

"Now, if you don't mind….Yoh, come, you have training to do," Anna reminded him. Yoh heavily sighed and walked towards the back, Amidamaru following him. Yoh always did hate having to train after school. Anna looked to Akina. "You too, now!" Anna nodded and dashed into the backyard. She was going to do things straight. She was going to prove to Anna that her training wouldn't go to waste. She would not enter the tournament for her family. Not any longer. It would be for Yoh and Anna. The ones that had at least some faith for her.
