Chapter 13
Manta straightened his black suit jacket as he peered around the corner of the street making sure no one was there. He sighed as he looked across the street. The stairs leading to the cemetary were clear in his vision.
" Maybe...I will watch the stars tonight..." He thought as he walked up the large stone steps. He breathed heavily as his pace quickened. He gingerly climbed up the black steel fence trying his best not to hurt himself. He ran as fast as he could up to the large hill with the tree. Shivering slightly he stepped up to the top and sat down feeling the tree's bark against his back. He felt the grass underneith his findertips as he had before. He closed his eyes taking in deep breaths.
" Yoh-kun" He the name escaped his lips in a long desperate sigh. He opened his eyes once more staring up at the moon the stars shining brightly like piercing diamonds. His eyes closed again as if he were being hypnotised. The soft breeze caressed his face and brushed through his soft orange hair as he fell asleep.
Yoh stood above him looking at his wrist. It was 3:00 a.m. Once Anna had falled asleep Yoh felt as if he needed to escape and take the fresh air into his lungs. He closed his eyes and opened them slowly staring down at Manta who was fast asleep. His stomach stired and his chest fluttered as a swirl of emotions filled him. He bit down on his lip and knelt down till his face was an inch away from Manta's face. He looked down at the boy's fragile pink lips pressing his own lightly against them in a gently light kiss. He stood up his his head down staring at the grass and looking up he left.
" Manta-chan" Yoh whispered walking off the warmth of Manta's soft lips still stinging upon his own. He hugged himself as he went. He stopped by the Juice vendor and gently pushed the button a can of hot coffee falling out. He picked it up quickly and continued on the dusty street. He looked up the early signs of daybreak appearing. Walking into his home he quietly shut the door and crept into Anna's room. He looked down at her. Though her normally rough attitude in her sleep Anna appeared to be a sleeping angel. He smiled kneeling down placing the can near her face.
" Goodnight Anna...'' he whispered closing the door and walking into his own room.
Anna opened her eyes staring at the warm can infront of her. Remembering the time Yoh asked her to take a walk with him in such cold weather. He bought her the same can of coffee so she could keep warm that night. She closed her eyes again forcing herself to sleep.
