Standard disclaimer applies. Just to remind you uh, the narrator's lines will be inside a different symbol now. i.e.: /hello/
oOo
The brunette thanked Kami for saving him from this awkward situation and of course, the narrator's good timing.
/It's two minutes till midnight/
oOo
Yoh caught himself just in time before an uncharacteristic curse went out. Instead, he resorted to sweating heavily in panic.
oOo
I observed the sweat pouring down his back like a rainfall.
Something is definitely bugging him.
/Nearly midnight, Yoh bid the princess goodnight to resume er—chopping wood./
Yoh sighed (in relief probably) in a fairly not-so-obscure fashion.
Something was up. No—scratch that, something IS up.
Yoh's hiding something. . .furthermore, who goes chopping wood at this hour?! It certainly wouldn't have been Yoh, otherwise known as=lazy slacker.
Having all these suspicions in mind, I raised a delicate eyebrow in question. "Chopping wood?"
"Um. . .eh. . .hehehe."
/Yoh's role is a woodcutter in this story/
"Doing his job at thi—"
/Sooooo, the woodcutter bid the princess goodnight/
A pause. Yoh suddenly found his left toe quite interesting.
Odd, but in some way I was hoping that Yoh would be coming home with me. Maybe a habit? A tug of disappointment was weighing heavily on my shoulders.
I'm getting soft.
Yoh had slowly brought his gaze on me, his customary grin was somehow a tad more constricted and a flush still staining his cheeks.
Can't blame him. Considering the cough berry incident.
"So, o-oyasumi Anna?"
"Oyasumi then Yoh." I echoed. ". . .sayonara."
I took a step forward to head home but a hand had suddenly landed onto my shoulder.
"A-ano, A-anna?"
I turned my head slightly, a questioning brow raised at his unusual behavior and deeply reddening face.
oOo
Yoh's throat went dry and he faltered for a moment before gathering up some courage to speak.
"Aishiteru. . ."
A feathery light and chaste kiss swept through Anna's lips and Yoh ran off, before he could be stopped, not turning once to see Anna's shocked reaction, and hurriedly hiding himself behind a set of tall bushes out of the itako's view.
The bright light enveloped his form just in time.
oOo
I raised a hand to my cheek. It was hot, burning.
I was blushing. Heavily.
I WAS GODDAMN BLUSHING BECAUSE OF...BECAUSE OF...
My temperature only got higher by recalling the events.
And somehow, my heart was beating so rapidly that it felt close to bursting. Pure bliss.
My fingers trailed to my lips and a smile slowly crept onto my mouth before I could stop myself, the last moments of our encounter still echoing inside my mind.
oOo
Kitty Yoh slumped down on the ground, sighing for the nth time this night in relief. Deciding that he still wasn't ready facing the itako without blushing furiously, Yoh decided on calming his nerves for a moment before heading back.
"Meow. . ." (translation: "Anna. . .")
Unable to resist, the shaman king turned cat then crept up the shrubbery, sticking his head out to take a last glimpse of the blonde.
Anna had one of her hands on her porcelain cheek, blushing cutely, Yoh noted in amusement. Not that he wasn't any worse. After a few seconds of standing in shock, a rare smile slowly formed on her face.
Yoh had on his goofiest grin and subconsciously melted like goo as he witnessed the Kodak moment and drifted to cloud nine.
oOo
Meanwhile. . .
A deep echo rattled the armors hung on the castle walls.
The screen closes up to the main chamber and the scene switches to focus on a certain longhaired brunette.
Hao chuckled evilly amidst the almost empty chamber for the hundredth time this day.
Tamao and Ryu visibly shuddered.
"Spirit of fire SOMEHOW is STILL missing, as I've sent massive colonies of search troops to scour him down last week, so the original plan of ramming 'it' straight down Anna's throat was abandoned."
Tamao scuffed her shoes nervously. "Er—."
"However, we do have plan B and in mere moments, my greatest scheme yet would be fulfilled."
Ryu sweatdropped from inside the mirror. "Um, master Hao—."
"I'm a genious ne?"
"Er—."
"Um—."
"NE Ryu? Tamao?"
"Er. . ."
". . .Wasn't it the narrator who thought this up?"
". . ."
A distinct amount of coughs was heard before the screen fades unto another setting.
oOo
