(This is my first Fan fic! Please be nice!!!! Oh, and PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!!!! I need them to maybe better my stuff!! ^_^ Franks!)
The night breeze swept through Yoh's strands of hair as he walked down the alley and down to the cemetery. Monument Hill was just ahead and shortly after that was home. While mid-way through the cemetery, he saw the exact spot where he and Morty had first met. He smiled to himself. He continued on home as planned carrying the groceries Anna had him get.
The door creaked gently as he stepped inside. He placed the groceries down as Anna walked in the room.
"It took you long enough."
"Eh, the store was packed." Yoh lied simply.
"Morty's going to go start on dinner then."
"Well, I'll be upstairs taking a bath."
Yoh immediately started upstairs for his bath. He soaked for what almost seemed an hour. The steamy water was so soothing. For some reason, however, he kept thinking back to before the Shaman Tournament. He reminded himself of how he met all his friends, Morty, Ren, HoroHoro, Ryu... all of them. He closed his eyes, and before he knew it, the day was completely over and he was sleeping in his bed.
The following morning, Yoh woke, went downstairs, grabbed a bagel, and sat down to some TV. The news was on. The anchor man was talking about strange disappearings, and suspicion of vampires. Yoh ignored most of it. "Man, sometimes they get TOO desperate for stories."
"You're telling me." Morty replied as he joined Yoh.
Yoh laughed, "But seriously, they're getting so desperate, that they are willing enough to actually make up stories about vampires??? Come on, everyone knows that vampires aren't real."
"Well, I'm sure that most people don't think that spirit mediums or shamans exist, but they surely do." added Morty.
"I guess you're right. But still..."Yoh just laughed to himself and stood up. "I think I'm going to go out for a jog. Want to come?"
"No thanks. I think I'll just hang out here for a while."
Yoh left the house and began jogging. Where he was going was still undecided, maybe where ever his feet led him. He soon discovered that he was running one of Anna's old tracks. "Ah, good old memories..." He cut through the cemetery. As he was running, he glanced over and saw the place Ren and he had fought for the first time. For a split second he could almost see Ren standing there. He glanced back again and Ren was standing there. Yoh stopped suddenly. "Ren....? What are you doing here?"
Ren stood there unmoved. He looked dirty, and a little ragged. Almost like an illusion, Yoh thought. Ren didn't say a word. Instead he picked his foot up and walked slowly towards Yoh. When Ren got closer, Yoh could make out the scratches all over his arms, his hands, even on his face. "Ren, are you hurt?! What happened?!" Still Ren continued to ignore him. Ren got so close to him, that Yoh thought he was going to kiss him. He finally stopped, when they were only inches apart. Slowly, Ren's eyes began to fill up with tears. The tears streamed down his face, yet his gaze at Yoh still remained constant.
Ren isn't acting himself today......Yoh thought. He was becoming a little worried. "Ren...I" Yoh was interrupted by Ren's finger touching his lips to silence him.
"I'm here to say goodbye. I knew I'd find you here. But I cannot stay long. It'd be too dangerous. Listen; after I'm gone, I want you, Anna, Morty, Ryu, all of you, to forget about me. Forget that I was even a person... that we ever met. Don't ask why. I'm doing this for good reasons. You're going to have to believe me on that..." Ren finally said.
Yoh replied, "I don't understand."
"You have a beautiful soul, Yoh. I will always remember you for that. I care a lot about you." Ren quickly looked up into the sky. "I have to go. Bye...."
Ren leaned him and gave Yoh a kiss on the cheek.
"Ren....wait a minute!" But before he could get a chance to say goodbye, it was too late. Ren had disappeared.
"Well that was weird." Yoh took a deep breath. "What was Ren talking about? Should I tell Anna about it...?" Yoh stood there thinking about what had just happened. He turned around to go back home, but for some reason something in his head told him to return back to the graveyard that night. He tried to shake away the thoughts and headed back home.
"I'm home!" Yoh yelled as he walked in the door. The house was quiet and still. Empty of Anna's yelling, and empty of Morty's rush cleaning. Yoh looked around the house curious to know where everyone was at.
"Amidamaru?" Yoh yelled.
Suddenly the big white samurai appeared out of thin air. "BOO!"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Yoh jumped. Amidamaru laughed at him, "Gotcha scared didn't I?"
"Good one! Where's everyone at?"
"I think Morty went home for a little bit. Some big research paper...As for Anna...I'm not quite sure where she went. In fact, I thought I just saw her a few minutes ago."
"Hmmm. Well, maybe she'll come back in a few, who knows with her. But besides that, something extremely weird just happened to me."
"What was that?"
"Well, while I was out on my jog, I saw Ren. He said he was leaving and never coming back. He also said that he wanted all of us to forget about him as a person, like he never existed. He kissed me on the cheek, and said he cared a lot about me. Then before I could say anything, he disappeared. He was all scratched and scarred, too..."
"That is pretty strange. Almost like these strange reports on the news lately."
"Yeah I saw that this morning. Vampires?"
At that moment, Anna walked in. She looked confused, and tired. She didn't say anything. She walked into her room and closed the door behind her. Yoh got up and went to her door and knocked.
"Anna?"
No one answered. He put his ear up against the door, but there wasn't any noise.
"Anna, are you OK?"
Still no one...
"I'm coming in..."
There was no answer still... Yoh walked in the door and saw Anna lying down, to what seemed like she was sleeping. He sat down beside and ran his hand down the side of her face. She was cold. He pulled a blanket over her and left the room.
Hours passed by...and finally Anna woke up. She came into the living room and everyone looked at her. "Wh-What happened?"
"I'm not quite sure, are you OK?" Yoh said.
"I feel alright. The last thing I remember is leaving the house to give Morty his books. He went home to finish a report, but forgot some of his books. And that's all." Yoh stood up and felt her forehead, she was burning up. "Earlier you were freezing, now you're burning up. I came home from my jog, then you came in all dazed, it seemed, and you went straight to your room and fell asleep."
"I feel better, I guess."
"Want something to eat?"
As soon as that was said, Morty walked in the door. "Hey everyone...phew... I'm finally done with that blasted paper... Is everyone alright?"
"Hey, Morty, I'm going down to the market to pick some things up for dinner. Will you stay here with Anna? I don't want her to be by herself for now."
"Uh, sure... Is there something wrong?"
They explained what happened. Yoh eventually left for the market. The skies were a swirl of orange and navy blue. Sunset was always beautiful there. He could lie down and watch the skies forever, if he could. He arrived at the market and was glad to see that it wasn't as crowded as it was during the daytime. On his way back home, he remembered about Ren, and Monument Hill was just around the corner.
He walked hastily down the road, for some reason he was excited. Did he want to see Ren again that much? What if Ren wasn't even there? Then would he just get his hopes up? Did he hope that Ren was there? Yoh was just confusing himself. When he reached the cemetery, he looked to see if anyone was there, let alone Ren. He searched and searched and to no avail, Ren was no where to be seen. Yoh breathed heavily and started back home again. But before he could leave the graveyard, a voice called out to him...
"Yoh...I thought I told you not to come back looking for me."
