Hidden Sparkle
Chapter 2The train slid its brakes as soon as it reached the station. All doors opened with a hiss and people
went out one by one but with a rhythm of hurry in their feet. The place was packed with people
greeting each other, selling stuff and asking for directions.
Finally, after all the people went out from the stuffy train, the couple made their way through the
door carrying their bags.
"OOOOOHHHHH SAMUIIIIII!!!!!!!" was Yoh's reply after a gust of wind made way through his body
adding chills to his flesh and giving him the "goosebumps"
"Must you always say that?" Anna asked his fiancé as she walked in front of him.
Yoh was practically freezing as he dropped the bag and sat on the floor hugging himself hoping
that it would at least add a little warmth in his body and stop him from turning into a power spirit.
In short with this weather, he'll end up being dead.
"I told you to put on some much thicker jacket baka." Anna pointed out then made her way to the
bag she was carrying. She quickly opened it up and pulled an orange sweater out of it.
"Hora" She threw the jacket at Yoh and turned again to close the bags.
"Sank yu...." Yoh smiled and quickly put on the sweater. "Ano.. Anna..." Yoh stuttered.
"Nani?" Anna turned to face his fiance with irritation in her eyes. Really, the boy was being so weak
and useless. After all, they didn't go all the way to Osorezan just to hang around the train station.
"This sweater...." Yoh looked down at the orange sweater he is wearing. It had an embroided "Yoh"
on the upper left of the sweater and a marijuana on the right. "Did you make this?" He completed
his question then looked at his blushing fiance who refused to look at him. He smiled widely than
before. "Anna...I..." Yoh was cut off.
"Urusai baka!" Anna placed her hands on her waist then looked at her Yoh in a mad face. "It was
suppose to be a surprise baka! But you just had to go on freezing to death around here what else
am I suppose to do but to give you that?! BAka!" She turned around whie crossing her hands in
front of her chest.
Yoh's grin became wider and weirder. "Anna did this for me?" He thought and looked at his
fiance who had the look of: You-spoiled-my-surprise-now-i'm-completely-mad-so-you'll-have-to-
pay-for-it-dearly. Yoh was happy, erasing the part where he'll have to pay dearly for ruining the
surprise.
"I'm actually surprised Anna." Yoh stood up smiling again and trying to approach his fiance who in
turn looked back at him which made him stop to his tracks.
"Carry the bags. We're getting out of this stuffy station NOW!" She ordered as she pointed at the bags.
"HAI!!" Yoh's body became stiff and made a salute then on to carry the bags.
To be honest when Anna's mad she is colder than the north pole and much more dangerous than
the natural disasters put together.
And for Anna, that sweater really was nothing compared to her fiances health. Spoiled her surprise
may be, it was really nothing just as long as Yoh is always there beside her grinning stupidly.
Because Yoh is the only one who understands her. Yoh is the only one who can make her happy
and content. Yoh was.. was her weakness.
The wind gushed throughly as though it wanted to freeze the whole city as well as the people living
in it. No one has any idea why it is so cold beside the fact that it was the white month and that is to
be expected. Yoh and Anna made their way to the snowy path where someone was waiting for them
at the end of the road.
"Who..whoo...whooo's tha..thaaat?" Yoh gritted his teeth as he tried to speak out the words he
wanted to ask Anna. He was successful though, only it sounded like he has an upset stomach or
worse.
"That's our ride." She looked at Yoh with her blank face as if she's not affected by the cold. Truly
opposite to Yoh, who is now dying of cold.
"A..anna..." Yoh almost collapsed.
"Yoh!" Anna yelled as he caught his fiancee who is now unconsious. "He's not being sarcastic now
is he?" Anna doubted. But considering how heavy Yoh is, he's not joking. He really is unconscious.
Anna quickly took off her scarf and placed it on Yoh's neck. She kneeled down and faced Yoh,
hugging him tight then waved at their ride.
The man who is waiting for them was alarmed by Anna's shout for help accompanied by a fast
wave of her hand. The man quickly ran towards them to give a hand and quickly took them inside
the car.
"I guess the weather is not siding with Yoh today." The man, also covered with a scarf on his face spoke
with a muffled voice. But even if the voice was muffled, Anna recognized who it was right away.
"Mikisha oji-san!" Anna said with surprise but her face didn't show it at all. She looked as Yoh's
father carefully took off the scarf covering his face but only to reveal a bird mask. How utterly
useless the removing process was. --;
"I don't know why Yoh suddenly fainted. He was okay yesterday and this morning.. beside the fact
that he kept on complaining that it is cold." Anna looked at Mikisha then looked at Yoh whose head
is placed comfortably on her lap.
"Perhaps the boy is tired." Mikisha jokingly said as he gave out a laugh.
Anna turned her face to the window and blushed with a guilty look on her face but tried to cover
it up in her usual snobbish look. "am i... am i giving him too much training? Cause If I am,
i could.... I mean.. you are his.. and i.. " Anna stuttered and bowed her head for Mikisha-san not
to see her blushing or she's saying sorry or both.
Mikisha looked at her future daughter-in-law. "She's stubborn and brave, just perfect for Yoh. And
I bet Yoh thinks so too. Right Yoh?" He asked mentally as he looked at his son sleeping peacefully
on his Fianc's lap. "Nope. Not the training. You keep that up. That lazy boy of mine needs it. And
besides, you have been doing that to him ever since you two met and I don't recall anything that
Yoh almost died out of it." Mikisha laughed.
Anna just looked at his future father-in-law with a blank expression.
If Yoh were awake, he will be crying puddles now protesting that he almost died out of Anna's super
training a hundred times now or more.
At last they arrived at the golden gates of Osorezan. (Okay, so it isn't golden i was just being sarcastic)
The servants quickly took out the bags from the car's trunk while Mikisha carried his (Beloved) son
on his back and into a room while Anna followed closely behind.
"So.. Why the idea of having a trip here at Osorezan?" Mikisha asked under his mask.
Anna looked at Yoh. "His idea"
"I see." Mikisha chuckled.
They finally reached the room where Yoh is to be placed. Mikisha placed Yoh on the bed and
stretched his arms. "Okay.. I'll be going back to my business...whatever it is.. You're in charge
now here." He held up his thumb to Anna and smiled. (At least that's what I think he did.. I mean,
he has a mask on dang it! I concluded he smiled because mostly all people who raise their thumbs
up smile ;)
Anna bowed down in respect then moved her head to look at Yoh. Her face irritated.
"You just had to go on and faint now don't you? What next? get sick?" Anna frowned then sat down
on the bed beside Yoh. Unconsciously, she suddenly began to stroke Yoh's hair.
"And to think you're the one who planned all this. If you weren't feeling well, you could have at least
told me baka!" Anna whispered with both irritaion and concern in her face as she pinched yoh's
left cheek and then continued stroking his hair then his face.
